New York Society
Woman Charged
With Smuggling
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—A few hours
after Whitney Warren, society man
and famous architect, had savagely
criticised the administration’s foreign
policy, official announcement was made
that Mrs. Warren must face a smug
gling charge. She will be celled to de
fend herself against an accusation of
declaring wearing apparel to customs
inspectors at several thousand dollars
below its true value.
Dudley Field Malone, colector of the
port, alleges “an attempt to defraud
the government.” His statement of in
tention to prosecute was made after an
investigation of the case, which had
lasted nearly four weeks, since Mrs.
Warren’s return from France, Novem
ber 15.
The prominence of the Warrens soc
ially and otherwise makes the case
against Mrs. Warren one of unusual
interest. They were in a list drawn by
Mrs. Ogden Mills of Americ “150 ex
clusives.”
THE AMERIUU3 UAILI lIMES-RECORDER
PROGRESSIVE RURAL
LEADERSHIP NEEDED
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College Os Agriculture
What are you doing as an individ
ual citizen in your community to aid
in its development and progress?
Probably there is more opposition
in the rural districts to the introduc
tion and establishment of new ideals
than elsewhere. This is in part due
to the isolation which obtains in the
open country, and to the fact that the
farmer must depend on his own judg
ment, and, therefore, formulate his
own opinions about most questions.
It is unfortunate, however, that
there should be any prejudice against
agricultural education or against agri
cultural science, for only through the
agency of science can we discover
those new truths upon which a per
manent type of practice is based. As
a matter of fact, it has been extreme
ly difficult to induce many farmers
to use preventive serum for the con
trol of hog cholera. A long and bit
ter fight has been waged to get rid
of the cattle tick, and it is only re
cently that a substantial degree of
progress has been witnessed. Farm
ers have been opposed to the introduc
tion of new and labor-saving imple
ment. They have said, for instance,
that draft horses could not be main
tained successfully on our farms. They
have thought that beef cattle could
not be raised profitably. The dairy in
dustry -Jias been neglected because of
the change in methods of manage
ment and practice it involves. As
many of our boys have not been sent
to college as should have been be
cause of the general belief that agri
cultural education was not worth
while. Insects bhve been allowed to
depredate our field and plant diseases
to ravage our crops because the sug
gestions made relative to the control
of diseases and insects were thought
to be impractical by the average farm
er.
These conditions do not represent
the ideals of the constructive type of
citizenship. The failure to utilize the
stores of knowledge at the command
of the farmer holds back progress
and militates against the development
of the community. The good citizen
endeavors to inform himself about
such matters and to aid in their wide
dissemination. Are you a good citi
zen? If not, think this matter over
seriously and assume that position of
leadership and that place of responsi
bility among your neighbors which
will enable them to secure all the
knowledge available concerning their
profession.
Daiiying and Soil Fertility
W. H. Howell, Dairy Expert, Georgia
State College Os Agriculture
A ton of wheat at SI.OO a bushel
is worth $33.33, and removes $9.59
worth of soil fertility from the soil.
Corn at 80c a bushel is worth $28.56
a ton and removes fertility worth
$8.60. A ton of cotton seed meal is
worth $31.92 for fertilizer. A ton of
butter, on the other hand, at 30c a
pound, is worth S6OO and contains
only 64 cents’ worth of fertility. The
only element of fertility in butter is
the small amount of nitrogen found
in the curd.
A dairy cow voids about 12 tows
of solid and liquid manure in a year.
Many experiments have shown that it
is worth from $2.50 to $3.50 a ton in
increased crop yields.
The dairy man must have pasture
and hay land. His soil does not wash
and gradually increases in fertility.
Every garden spot in our state is
an example of the value of barnyard
manure.
Home Landscape Gardening
T. H. McHatton, Professor Os Horti
culture, Georgia State Col
lege Os Agriculture
Fall and winter are suitable for
planting trees and shrubs on the home
grounds. Put the shrubs about the
base of the house, the corners of
walks, intersections of roads, around
edges and in the corners of the lawn s
but never in its center.
Avoid straight lines in planting.
Good shrubs to use are the various
spirias, barbara, privets, cape jasa
mine, tea olive, various crataegii, Eng
lish laurel, narrow leaf evergreens,
arbor vitae and junipers.
Shade trees should be planted
around the lawn, along the walks, at
the intersection of roads, walks. Oaks
are very desirable, water, live and
pin oaks being excellent. Magnolias,
maples, particularly Norway maples;
sycamore; in certain sections, elms;
and evergreen trees such as deodora
cedar, Hymalian pine and ordinary
pines may be planted.
It is not unusual for cotton to suf
fer a loss of from $3 to $5 per bale as
a result of unnecessary exposure. At
all times it should be kept off the
ground and properly sheltered.
The silo not only furnishes econom
ical storage, but it enables the farmer
to handle his crop cheaper than by
any other method.
One ton of mixed hay occupies 400
cubic feet.
