Harris Says State Save
Nearly a Million Dollars
ft
Atlanta, April 5. —“The towns,
cities and counties of Georgia can
save nearly a million dollars a
year interest charges on their
bonded indebtedness if the state
would endorse all such bonds,”
declares United States Census
Director William J. Harris, who
is in Atlanta, to preside at the
meeting of the state Democratic
executive committee, of which he
is chairman, when that body con
venes Saturday.
Senator Harris’ discussion of
the bond situation in Georgia is
of special interest at this time.
“Georgia bonds bearing three
per cent, interest can be sold at
par or nearly so,” he says,
“while the average interest paid
on bonds of towns, cities and
counties, including expenses, is
five per cent.
“This saving in interest charg
es if used as a sinking fund,
placed in banks at interest or
invested in bonds would in thirty
years pay all the bonded indebt
edness of the towns and counties
of Georgia.

111 1 TENTH-ACRE OF TOMES
i CM MEAN 10 A GOUNTRV GIRL
By Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture.
To one Georgia girl who Is a mem
ber of the Girls’ Canning Club, a tenth
acre has meant $l3O profit. So much
money can mean, when rightly spent,
a great deal for any country girl. A
few years’ profits from a little tomato
patch may mean a course in one of
the beat colleges of the country. It
may mean the opportunity for devel
oping some natural talent to the full
est possible extent and the attainment
of some great place in the world, when
otherwise the lack of the little means
necessary would have prevented that
achievement.
Such success as can be w r on with
a tomato patch will certainly afford
a vision of the great opportunities of
farm life, and an Inspiration that will
contribute to the happiness and con
tentment of the country girl who is

culture, Georgia State College
of Agriculture.
Insects that eat leaves and swallow
them are killed by arsenate of lead,
made by mixing two pounds arsenate
of lead, two pounds of quick lime and
SO gallons of water. For small appli
cations an ounce of arsenate of lead,
one ounce of quick lime and one gal
lon of water will serve the purpose.
Insects that suck their food like
plant lice, may be killed with soap and
water, using one pound soap to six
gallons of water. They may also he
destroyed by boiling one pound to
bacco dust in a gallon of water for
one hour, diluting with water to the
color of ordinary tea, and applying
with spray pump. Soap may also be
added to the tobacco fluid.
For plant diseases the most general
ly used fungicide is Bordeaux mixture,
made of one ounce copper sulphate
mixed with two quarts of water, two
ounces of quick lime slaked and made
up of two quarts with water, the cop
per sulphate and the slaked lime mix
tures are poured together through a
fly screen which gives a gallon of the
Bordeaux mixture.
In combatting plant diseases it is
Important that the same crops should
not grow on the same ground year af
ter year. A minimum amount of dam
age will result if rotation is practiced
and sometimes a disease can be en
tirely overcome in this way.
Prisoner Taken to Savan
nah for Safe Keeping
Savannah, April 3. —Melton
Wiggins, a white man 40 years of
age, was taken to the county jail
Thursday from Toombs county,
where he had been convicted of
burglarlv and sentenced to serve
ten years in the penitentiary. He
has taken an appeal for a new
trial, and pending the action of
the courts he will remain in the
Chatham county jail for safe
keeping. He was brought to Sa
vannah by Deputy Sheriff D. R.
Partin, of Toombs county.
A Wise Provision
While it is unlikely that a tie
will result this year in any of the
contests for state offices the state
committee acted wisely when it
provided that in event of a tie
between two candidates in the
count of votes in the state con
vention the one receiving the
greater popular vote shall be de
clared the nominee. That is fair
and democratic. Judge Broyles
of Atlanta set the right prece
dent when he yielded the nom
ination for the Court of Appeals
to Judge Pottle in 1912. Although
they received the same number
of cenvention votes Judge Pottle
had received a greater popular
vote.—Savannah News.
$25 Is Offered by Brooks
County Industrial Club
Quitman, Ga., March 27.—The
county of Brooks, in the richest
farming section of the state of
Georgia is planning the most tre
mendous development campaign
ever undertaken by a county in
the South. Before starting the
campaign they are seeking an ef
fective “slogan” to be used in
the literature sent out during the
campaign. The Brooks County
Industrial Club, located at Quit
man, Georgia, is olfering a cash
prize of $25 for the best slogan
submitted. The executive com
mittee of the organization, or a
committee appointed by them,
will go over all the slogans sub
mitted and decide upon the one
to be used.
inclined to think that her goal can
be attained only at work in the city.
The little tomato patch also teaches
Its lessons of the nobility of labor,
the value of exercise in the open, the
lovable secrets of nature, the recom
pense of honest endeavor.
By all means the girls should join
the girls’ clubs of Georgia. It pays
in every possible way. The girls are
esteemed and honored for it. Fran
cis Hodson Burnett began her liter
ary career by picking blackberries to
get a start, and who would not say
that as much can be obtained from
work in growing tomatoes or raising
poultry? It is the start at achieving
things early in life that has meant
so much in achieving success in after
life. Why not let the girls begin with
the tomato patch?

COLIC IN HORSES
W. M. Burson, Professor of Veterinary
Science, Georgia State College
of Agriculture.
The most common forms of colic are
indigestion and impaction or clogging
of the bowel with coarse fibrous ma
terials.
The following suggestions, if careful
ly carried out, will do much toward the
avoidance of these troubles:
1. Furnish a variety of feed stuffs
all the time.
2. Feed only perfectly sound feeds.
3. Divide the daily grain ration into
three feeds, morning, noon and night.
4. Provide roughage of good quality,
not too woody and give it to work ani
mals only at night.
5. Do not feed grain nor give a large
amount of water to animals that are
overheated or very tired. Allow them
to rest and cool a short while first.
6. Water frequently during warm
weather and always before feeding
rather than afterward.
7. Keep salt where the animals al
ways have access to it, but do not mix
it with the feed,
8. See to it that the teeth of old
animals are in good condition, for
! thorough mastication of the coarse
feed stuffs.
9. During winter give a feed of wheat
bran or other laxative feed once a
1 week.
10. Avoid sudden changes in diet.
If it is necessary to change to some
j other kind of feed make the change
