Cotton Cultivation.
(Loy E. Hast C irton I:ic2u-'ry Dept., Ga
8t \te Colley * rf Afr.cul u e.)
Shallow cultivation of cotton is
economical, it contributes most to
the growth of the plant, it con
serves the moisture of the soil
better than deep cultivation.
Deep cultivation with a plow com
monly used throughout the cotton
growing belt, means necessary
loss of the maisture needed bv
the plants; it means the disturb
ance of rootlets through which
the plant is feeding, thereby rob
bing the plant of some of its food,
and it means plowing one furrow
at a time when ttie same energy
might be used to three or four
furrows at a time as deep as tliev
ought to be plowed.
Shallow cultivation not only
means rapid and inexpensive cul
tivation, but it means that the
planter can cultivate more often.
The oftener the cultivation—if it
be shallow —the more the mois
ture is held for the plants and the
more they grow and the heavier
the fruit. More frequent cultiva
tions thus justify themselves with
more profitable returns.
During the past spring there
was a drouth. Spring drouths
are coming to be common. A
.very harmful practice generally
used in the cotton fields of Geor
gia is to “bar” off the cotton be
fore chopping it out. This means
that the cotton is left on a ridge
with a deep furrow on either side.
It means that the ground under
and around the cotton dries out
in a drouth and leaves the young
plant in a poor shape if it does
not die outright. Had the soil
been harrowed only, this heavy
loss of moisture whould not have
occurred, the plants would have
continued to grow and so much
Replanting would not have been
necessary.

CHASE, MARY ELLEN, “The Girl
From the Big Horn Country.”
Page, Baston. $i.25 net.
“Six Star Ranch” is a bpok
written especially for growing
girls, but full of interest for grown
folks as well. It sets forth in
pleasing and attractive fashion
the natural every-day life of a
band of girls called “The Happy
Hexagon Club.” Particularly in
structive is the story of the visit
of the Happy Hexons to a Texas
ranch. One character, Genevieve,
stands out as a fine example of
usefulness and generosity. Her
radiant life makes all happier with
whom she comes in contact. On
the whole, it is a book so full of
sweetness that one cannot but be
helped by reading it.

“Sylvia of the Hilltop” is the
story of a cheerful, radiant per
sonality who loses no opportunity
to shed joy and happiness in t;ie
hearts of others. This same hap
piness incidentally finds its way
into the hearts of the readers
who, in turn, set about making
somebody else happy. So the
world grows better because of
the book and the simple, sweet,
and generous girl it characterizes.

Flivver Spills Atlanta Par
ty All Over l andscape
The entire party ca ne back to
Atlanta by train, all more or less
damaged in a motor wreck near
Tallulah Falls, except Harry Davis,
who was driving. Julian Boehm
is having his left shoulder X-rayed
today, and Mrs. Boehm —but let
Mr. Boehm tell how it all fell out,
or, rather, how they all fell out.
“It might have been a lot worse,”
Mr. Boehm says, “but I must ad
mit it seen? 1 bad enough at the
time. Harry Davis and his wife,
Mrs. Boehm, my small daughter,
myself, were making a ‘flivver’
pilgrimage to Tallulah last Thuts
day, to stay a week.
“The flivver was running fine,
and at the charming hour of 6:30
in the evening we were admiring
the gorgeous sunset, just seven
miles from our destination.” *
About this time the universe
disintegrated. Everything seem
ed to come all apart. We found
later that spindle or something in
the steering gear of the flivver
had broken, and the flivver, doing
its little 18 or 20 an hour turned
off at right angles and stuck its
nose an amazing distance into a
bank, which fortunately was soft.”
“It must have looked like a Key
stone comedy. We all came out
of that flivver, end over end, and
hit mostly wrong side up. My lit
tle girl and I did the finest falls,
but she was lucky and wasn’t hurt
much. My left shoulder was
bursted; Mrs. Davis’ left wrist was
sprained, and Boehm was bruised
until she savs looks like the tatoo
ed woman in a side show, and her
right knee is wrenched. Harry
Davis —dog-gone his lucky time! —
wasn’t hurt a bit.
“Well, we all lay on the ground
and groaned while Harry went
. and telephoned for help, which
i was two hours getting there. The
soil was still setting,., but we had
lost interest in it some way. It
was about 9 o’clock when we got
to Tallulah, and it was next morn
ing before doctor came, and when
he got there he was a veterinari
an, and we were so disgusted we
put ourselves on the train and
came back to Atlanta.”
Mr. Boehm says he is not sure
what became of the flivver. The
last time he saw it, it was still
sticking in the bank. —Atlanta

Eight-Foot Negro
Startks Forsyth
He might have been a Brobin
dagnian, stepped out of Gulliver’s
travels, judging from the way his
head towered towards the skies;
but he was just a plain negro—
that is, if a mass of flesh weigh
ing 340 pounds and upstanding
7 feet, 11 inches could be called
plain negro.
Friday morning numbers of
Forsyth people were startled by
involuntary “Whoo-o-00-s” mid
folks came out of the stores and
offices to see what the trouble
was. George Bel!, a negro, was
striding down the street, followed
by a curious crowd of folks, who
marveled at his huge size. “It’s
Jack Johnson,” the negroes cried;
but not so; George is a Georgia
product, born in Zebulon and was
accompanying a salesman for cel
luloid starch and was carrying the
sack of sample pockages. It was
an unique advertising scheme, for
few folks failed to know that
George and his huge size were in
town. Forsyth boasts some fair
ly sized men, but even
Sheriff Holland appeared almost a
pigmy beside George’s 7 feet, 11
inches. He wore a No. 23 shoe
and had to duck his head when
he entered some of the doors with
his hat on. There was no sur
plus flesh on him; he was just
“nacherally big.” —Advertiser.

after the first dose and in 48 hours
all pain left me.” If you have
