MONDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 14. 1924 BfflLff DNRf BARNS ~ fOR PEROWHENT KE George O. Marshall Says These Should Be Considered Per manent Improvements In the edection of dairy barns there are several factors to be con sidered says G. 0. Marshall, county farm demonstration agent, chief of which are permanency, roominess and convenient arrangments. According to Marshall, a dairy barn.,should be considered as a per manent improvement and first cost sh'onjd therefore not be the only •nsidoratiOh'. White it will be a itter of convenience for the im • diate future, if properly con ucted it should last for many years. In other words, construct ing a barn is much the same as pur chasing livestock, planting a peach orchard, or investing in longtime bonds, to yield its returns over the whole period of its life, and adding value to the farm property. Frequently farmers spend money on old sheds or building one story sheds, and equipping such structures with concrete floors and stanchions, says Marshall. They are usually set upon wooden posts or, other very unstable founda tion, and are truly temporary make shift affairs that do not add to the value- of the farm and are inade quate. There is no room for feed storage, which makes it necessary to add a shed here, an addition somewhere else, making a very in convenient, unsatisfactory arrange ment,, which never meets fully the need for a real barn. These mak- - shift affairs are not as costly at first, but are: very expensive invest ments. if looked at the light of per manent improvement.. “Model barns are attractive and add, value to the farms. In contrast to the. shed type, these barns are two-story with hip roofs allowing! an enormous feed storage space. Each will accomodate 20 cows and s>to 10 calves, and have large feed rooms handy to the stanchions, with; the loft for- roughage immediately overhead. The cows are milked and* fed under one roof, which permits no waste labor and removes the drudgery from tire dairy busi ness. Both barns are a solid con crete foundation ,and have unload ing forks for storing roughage. It is the type of farm building that will stand as long as these men live, affording the same convenience year after year, These barns are real investments that pay good div idends?’ fIfcRKING SPACES ARE W REPAINTED IN YELLOW DWSON,-.April 14.—The park ing spaces on Main and Lee streets have been repainted, and this time the color is, yellow.

SOUTH GEORGIA CROP CONDITIONS FAVORABLE ALBANY, April 14.—Crop con ditions in general in this section are said to be favorable by farm ers. Especially is the vegetable growth reported to be showing up well. The difference between a dance and a bootleggers’ convention isn’t as much as it should be. SPRAY PEACHES ffl NOW, [MTS ADVISE Same Materials Should Be Used As In First Spray, Growers Here Are Told < The govempient and State lab oratory at Fort Valley has just is sued a highly important bulletin, advising peach growers here to spray their orchards a second time, beginning immediately. The bulle tin is as follows. Hiley peaches in Middle Georgia have now reached the right stage in their development for the sec ond application of spray, and peach growers are advised to start spray ing that variety immediately. This application is applied when about seventy-five per cent of the dried calyces or “shucks” have been ushed from the small peaches, ar.d it is one of the most important sprays- for the control of the cur culio. If this spray is not ap plied right -on time many curculio eggs may be deposited in the little peachs-.when they are exposed from the “shucks,” and this would re sult in a heavy April and May drop. The same materials should b.- used foi’ the second spray •as were used for the first application; namely, four pounds of powdered arsenate of lead with the milk of lime from slaking twelve pounds of stone lime to each 200 gallons of water. If dust is used the 0.5.95 is recommended; however, the 80- 5-15 may be used if the grower de sires. Elbertas, Georgia Belles, and Uneedas will be ready for the sec ond spray by the latter part of this week, and those varieties should-re ceive the second treatment imme diately upon the completion of the Hiley acreage. Carmen, Early Rose and the early varieties should re ceive the second pray next week. Some growers have failed to give the fruit the first treatment at the recommended time, and a few have gone so far as to omit applying first the first spray altogether. Grow ers are cautioned in regard to negli gence or carlessness in their spray ing program. The -curculio, brown rot, and scab can be satisfartorily controlled only at very definite times in their life history, and al tering the recommended schedules in any way will-certainly not bring the maximum protection against these pests. Many curculio efegs have been found in the fruit during the past week, showing that the curculio is again with us in num bers. Timely spraying with suffi cient spraying equipment to handle the acreage in a few days is, there fore strongly urged. INTER-COLLEGIATE MEJET IS POSTPONED MACON, April 14.—Announce ment has been received here that the annual track and field meet of the S. I. A.

If Kidneys Act Bad Take Salts I ’ Says Backache Often Means You Have Not Been Drinking . Enough Water When you wake tip with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it may mean you have been eating foods which create acids, says a well-known author ity. An excess * such acids overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When you: 1 kid neys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels, removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach ‘ sours, tongue k coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. _ Either consult a good, reliable physi cian at once or get from your pharma cist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys .may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used f6r years to help clean and stimulate sluggish kid neys, also to neutralize acids in the system, so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, can not in jure and makes a delightful, efferves cent lithia-water drink. Drink lots of soft water. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year, DEBT UHIKH ANNOUNCES M Debtor Nations Not to Be Al lowed to Givd New Obliga tions Any Preference WASHINGTON, April 14.—The United States has laid down the def inite policy that it will permit of no action by foreign debtor nations that would make the position of this government “less favorable” with respect to obligations due it. , Establishment of the policy was disclosed Sunday with publication by the American debt commission of communications with the mission from the kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, which last Monday discussed a funding ar rangement on that country’s debt of $61,587,000. The mission left with out making any headway towards a settlement, but carried with it a letter setting forth the American views. “Pending the refunding or satis faction, of the indebtedness in ques tion,” the debt commission’s letter said, “the commission assumes that the United States may feel assured of its indebtednes heretofore or hereafter incurred which will result in placing the Unfted States in a less favorable position as a creditor than that which it now occupies.” The paragraph was regarded as making it clear that the United States intends to retain thet priority of its obligations where such prior ity exists and that it will accept no shifting financial arrangements.

L' !'■ S ]] ’J///Hs| jL JL y hHUBI The Money You Pay For Service Comes Back To Georgia zkjsbw HAT the Telephone -Company is a larger spender than a collector ia a fact known to very few. The Bell System invests in new plant and spends* for operating expenses, such as wages and taxes, and for supplies purchased in Georgia auring one year, as much money as it collects from the public for tele phone service. The millions of dollars we poured into Georgia last year, no doubt, contributed to the commrecial progress and prosperity of the State, while, a large part of the money we collected for service found its way back to local communities where the telephone workers of Georgia are home builders and citizens. ‘ The money you pay is for service, the value of which it is difficult to estimate. Its efficiency and continued extension is due not only to the loyalty of faithful workers and the confidence of investors, hut in a large measure to your cordial interest and co-operation. > y>j C. *G.

FEW TERRELL FARMERS BUY POISON FROM CAR DAWSON, April 14.—The saie of calcium arsenate from the. ped dler car sent out by the state board of entomology was not as at Dawson as was expected. Only about 1,200 pounds were sold to A. L. Simonton; whe was in charge of the car. With one exception the orders were all small. The lack of buyers was prob ably due in part to the fact that Dawson banks have sold poison and are still supplied with large quan tities.
