Fertilizer is an INVESTMENT
Not an EXPENSE.
How many successful farmers do you know
who do not attribute their success to proper
fertilization? They do not question as to whether
or not they can afford to use fertilizer, but rather
can they afford not to; and as quality counts in
everything else, so, also does it count in fertilizer.
Forget the low analysis goods, as a thing of the
past, and determine to make your 1925 farming
profitable by using nothing but
High Analysis Fertilizers
15-5-5 or 12-4-4
The more you invest in high grade fertilizers,
the more you help to
Make every acre do its best

W. C. T. U. MEETING
The Barnesville Woman’s Chris
tian Temperance Union held its ser
vices recently. It was “Frances Wil
lard Day," and as each one came in
there was pinned on a card, contain
ing a quotation from Miss Willard,
which was read by each one.
The reports from different officers
were fine and gladly approved.
March is the time for paying dues,
and a special membership campaign
is now on, for we must secure the
miles and miles of names that is
wanted and necessary "for the ad
vancement of our wonderful and
loved prohibition work.
It was unanimously voted that our
W. C. T. U, assist in luncheon for
one day for Three Arts State Con
vention, which will be held here
March 25 to 28 inclusive.
The “clean up" work and to have
a “city beautiful" is our unanimous
desire and easily accomplished if
each one will do her full share.
After the business Mrs. J. T. Bla
lock, whom we all delight to honor,
gave us in a beautiful and inspiring
manner many of the incidents of
Miss Willard’s life. Her “labors and
love” will last as lonr as time, yea,
eternity alone will reveal “what she
wrought.” Are we as prayerful and
vigilant as she?
The favorite song of Miss Willard,
“All Around the World the Ribbon
White is Twined,” was beautifully
sung by Mrs. Mattie Briley and Miss
Annie Maud Sealey, with Mrs. Arthur
Jackson as pianist.
It was decided to hold the next
W. C. T. U. meeting at the Club
House, Tuesday afternoon, March
10, at 3:00 o’clock. Please all be
present as much business is to be at
tended to.
Many thanks were expressed to
our hostess committee for their ef
ficiency on that occasion. Let each
one bring anew member at next
meeting. —Press Reporter.

SOUTH HAS GREAT FUTURE
The ppople of Georgia and the
South need encouragement because
of the financial depression which
they have experienced since the
World War. This paper has been
doing its best to build up the morale
of the people and to show them that
the future held good things for all
wno would fight through the difficul
ties which have largely enveloped
them during the past several years.
We do not doubt the outcome if peo
ple keep up their courage and work
hard, practicing proper economy.
Just along this line Mr. Roger
Babson, the great statistician, whose
views are regarded with favor every
where, gave out a statment in Flori
da last Saturday full of encourage
ment for Georgians and southerners
and with the hope of stimulating our
people we are printing some extracts
from Mr. Babson’s statement, as fol
lows:
.“History shows that all great coun
tries pass through two distinct eco
nomic movements, each being at their
height for from fifty to a hundred
years. The first of the movements
is when people gradually move from
the east westward. In our country
this began in 1849, with the discov
ery of gold in California, although it
did not reach its height until after
the Spanish war. The great devel
opment in California has been during
the past twenty-five years. This de
velopment from east to west con
tinues until the cheap lands have
been taken up; then a second great
economic movement starts —namely,
from north to south. This has been
true with every great country, and
this second era is just now beginning
in the United States. If economic
history repeats itself, the south, dur
ing the next twenty-five years, will
develop as the Pacific coast has dur
ing the last twenty-five years. This
does not mean that the development
of the Pacific coast will stop. Let
no one fool himself with this idea,
because as the people of China, India
and the Far East awake and become
consumers of American goods, the
Pacific coast’s development will be
greater than ever. The most spec
tacular growth, however, from now
on in the United States, will be seen
in the south.
“Owing to the good road movement
now in full swing, and the fifteen
million automobiles in the country,
this economic movement from north
to south should be much more rapid
than the previous movement from
east to west. This is all the more
true considering the greater pros
perity of American people today
compared with any previous time.
Not only does the south possess won
derful natural resources, a beautiful
climate, and cheap land, thus insur
ing an all-year round development,
but there are five million additional
people who could well afford to
spend their winters in the south. By
so doing, these people could lengthen
their lives, on the average, about ten
yehrs. and could spare two or three
months from home without any in
terference with their business. It
would be a tremendous economic gain
for the nation to extend the lives
of these people—the ones who create
and develop their home communities
and who furnish the initiative for
America. We are striving to con
serve natural resources; but the
greatest of all resources are the few
people in each community who fur
nish the courage, energy and capital
which makes these respective com
munities grow.
“When one considers the statistics
on these eleven states he is astound
ed with their natural resources, the
amount of available land, and their
percentage of growth. All the south
needs is some more people with char
acter, energy and capital. The lat
ter especially is needed because the
south already has a population un
surpassed in character.
“Of course we all know that pres
ent business conditions are not now
up to normal in many southern states.
The south has suffered with the rest
of the country.
“General Conclusions —Personally
I am very optimistic on the entire
south. I believe that the greatest
percentage growth of the United
States will be in the south during
the ten years from 1920 to 1930.
The railroad statistics, bank clearings
and building permits all indicate this
result. Yes, the south is doing more
than its share in improving general
business. The Babsonchart now
shows it at 5 per cent above normal.”

IS HOME ECONOMICS
WORTH-WHILE?
Is the study of Home Economics
and its application really worth-while
to girls of today? Are its principles
such that they can be applied satis
factorily and conveniently in every
home? Here is my answer to both
questions:
When I entered A. & M. as a soph
omore I had a general idea of cooking
and canning, and 'knew a little about
sewing, but of home planning and
decorating I knew practically noth
ing. I was given a thorough course
in Home Economics that year, con
sisting of sewing, canning, cooking;
a month’s course on sewing machines
and their use, and a few details in
style and appropriateness of dress.
During my vacation the next summer
with few' instructive words from
mother I was able to make most of
my summer clothes. I also aided
with the canning. In this instance
my training proved of value to me.
Mother had never been able to can
green beans in glass jars so that they
would keep. I had been given a
special course in bean canning during
the term, and with my aid mother,
for the first time, canned green beans
successfully.
My junior class included, besides
the items mentioned, a complete
course in textiles and clothing con
sisting of color, style, appearance
and appropriateness of dress. That
summer I not only made my ward
robe but I made practically every
article of clothing that was required
for school that term. Is this not
ample proof that Home Economics
is a benefit and is applicable in the
home?
Our senior Home Economics is
naturally harder and more efficient,
but we are mastering it daily. The
fact that all modern high schools are
putting in the Home Economics
course for girls is proof in itself that
today people are realizing ithat it is a
valuable part of education.—Lois
Hegwood, in Barnesville A. & M.
