BEAUTIFY THE HOME
(Mil WITH TREES
Shrubs May Also Be Used To
Good Advantage.
Trees and shrubs about the home
grounds are absolutely essential: it is
the planting about the house which
§ives it the “home” feeling. Promi
nent in the picture of our “boyhood
home” there is a large water oak, a
lofty elru, a sturdy oak, a weeping
willow—a wonderful tree which often
quite overshadows the house “where
we ‘et an’ slept.” Gone are the giant
trees of those days, and it is necessary
to plant nursery-grown trees about
nur houses so that our children may
know pleasant memories.
Whatever the form or size of house;
whatever the extent or shape of yard
.—there is a tree or a shrub which will
‘fit in” that particular nook and will
beautify it. The growing tree is a
child to be pruned and trimmed into
a beautiful life.
Graceful shrubs break the lines be¬
tween lawn and house aud often serve
Ho hide the masonry of a foundation,
useful enough in itself but not a tiling
of beauty. Street trees are good for
tired eyes and for tired feet, too. All
this and other valuable information
le found in Bulletin 162, free upon re¬
quest.

CLUB BOYS SKB GIRLS
ME B8&LK FAST
County Agents Are Doing Ex¬
cellent Work.
This is the season of the year when
the County Agent is burning about
all the gasoline he can get in order
to be sure that no boy or girl is missed
in an effort to persuade them to learn
how to grow an acre of good com, a
good pig, a good calf, a good acre of
wheat as well as to get the lessons
that the effort carries with it.
Schools are visited and talks are
made to show how other boys and
girls are profiting in an educational
and monetary way from their efforts
In their club work. Nine hundred and
sixty-eight visits were made to
schools in the third, fourth, fifth,
rixth, seventh, eighth and ninth Con¬
gressional Districts during March by
county agents.
From indications, the goal of 16,000
pig club members, 10,000 corn club
members, and 2,500 calf club mem¬
bers will be reached. If it is left to
the county agents and the boys and
girls, we are quite confident of it.
Occasionally, though, some father
thinks he can give his boy more
training than he can get as a member
of the clubs. Any thoughtful father,
if he would think before acting, would
never refuse his boy this opportunity
of getting himself started to thinking
af those things which he is sure to
meet in a larger way as he grows
rider. The agents are working night
and day to show the opportunity, and
we are glad to note the interest being
shown.
One agent, for instance, reports 16
night meetings held Oils month with
an attendance of 1,055. These meet¬
ings were mainly in the interest of
club work. Many of the fathers and
mothers were present, thus encour¬
aging their children. There have
been 120 night meetings in north
Georgia territory during March, as
many as 450 being present at some
meetings.
ORCHARD AND GARDEN
MUST BE CULTIVATED
There Must Be Plenty Of Mois¬
ture To Insure Growth.
During the spring trees are growing
rapidly and soon after blooming they
set their fruit. Such trees as peaches
must make growth during the spring
and upon this growth the fruit of
next year will be produced. Gener¬
ally speaking spring and early summer
is the period of greatest growth for
trees. In late summer their growth
slops and the formation of buds takes
place.
To support this growth as well as
lo support the crop of fruit the tree
carries, moisture is the most essen¬
tial factor. There is great demand for
moisture for fruit growth early in the
spring, and thereafter the orchard
hould be well cultivated until the
liddle of the summer at least. This
i nsures plenty of moisture for the
plants. requires
The garden likewise a
great deal of moisture and unless it
is situated so that it can be irrigated,
this-moisture can only be had through
cultivation. Such crops as Irish pota
toes should be cultivated every week
for seven weeks. It is a good plan to
cultivate the garden once a week dur
! ng the season, and as soon after a
rain as the ground will permit.
Cultivation is the cheapest method
of conserving and furnishing moisture
for the plants.
HART IS BUILDING
POTATO HOUSES
Thiriy-five Thousand Bushels To
Be Stored.
“We have plans nearly completed
now to build nine potato houses this
year that will store 35,000 bushels of
potatoes,” reports County Agent J H.
Warren, of Hart County. “All the
money, in several instances, has been
subscribed, the lumber made ready,
locations secured and a suitable man
hooked for the work,” continues Mr.
Warren. better
“The success of 1918 was far
than expected, and having learned a
few things from experience we are in
position to render far more efficient
service this year. We appreciate the
co-operation of the people in being
willing to furnish the money in 1913
and in taking the risk to give tins
project a fair trial,” says Mr. Warren,
From this report we see the busi¬
ness of building potato houses in Geor¬
gia is no longer an experiment, and
the farmers are not asked to risk their
money. It is an excellent business
proposition for a community, growing
moderate amounts of sweet potatoes,
to take up.
There are certain things to remem¬
ber when plans are made to propeily
store and cure out sweet potatoes.
They must be well matured when
dug; they must be carefully handled;
they must be well dried and cured
after they are put into the houses;
they must be kept at a uniform tem¬
perature after being cured.
Plans for sweet potato storage
houses may be secured free of charge
