o agricultural prosperity.
‘Cotton must be grown in ex¬
actly the same manner in which
he farmers of the fifties grew
t,” says Hon. Martin Calvin. Mr.
alvin is the statistician of the
ieorgia Department of Agricul
ure. and was for seventeen
/ears the secretary, and for two
tears the president of the State
gricultural Society.
“They practiced on every farm
nd plantation diversification of
rops. and gave close attention to
live stock farming. As a result
f that wise course, they became
he richest people in the world,
he rural districts were then the
ackbone of the money centers,

PROVIDE FOR BIRDS
When trees die, birds forsake
s and beauty dies. Hygiene and
leautv demand the planting of
prieties of trees and shrubs
.hirh will offer birds food and
jMter. says Nature Magazine,
irds like to nest on the edge of
woodlands, near open spaces, and
lerefore landscape gardening
nth scattered groups of trees
nd with hedges is favorable to
ird life.
Upon good crops depends the
ation’s financial and economic
rosperity. Farmers need birds,
ince the success of the crops de¬
ends upon them. They may in
rease bird life on their farms
y establishing bird refuges. Ex¬
perience has shown that they can
est do this by co-operating with
i state game commission, an Au
rbon cociety, a bird club, or a
ehool. The farmer donates his
and and acts as warden, while
he other party furnishes the
ird houses and feeding stations.
r hen birds frequent the road
ides they destroy insects on ad
acent farm acres. It is a mis
ake to cut away all vegetation
rom the country roadsides. The
irds love to nest in wayside
edges.
A handful of common sense is
'orth a bushel of learning.

HOW TO TELL IVY
One of the first plants to show
the brilliant tints of autumn is
the poison ivy, says Nature Mag¬
azine. It is somewhat unfortu¬
nate that this plant exhibits the
J beautiful colors at this season,
as it leads many people to gath
er sprigs of the brightly tinted
leaves, often with disastrous con¬
sequences.
Poison ivy usually grows as a
low, erect shrub, varying in its
height from a few inches to two
feet, though it sometimes as¬
sumes the climbing habit and
ascends trees to considerable
heights. It always has three leaf¬
lets, and in late summer bears
clusters of white fruits, and is
at once distinguished by these
characteristics from the Virginia
creeper, with its five leaflets and
purple black fruits, which is the
plant most often confused with
poison ivy.
AN APPEAL FOR TREES
The American Tree Associa¬
tion has sent out a call for 1,000
000 trees to be planted this year,
and requests that the celebration
of the centennial of Arbor Day,
in 1972, be prepared for now,
fifty years before it happens,
by planting trees which will
grow for fifty years, and form
shade and timber at that time.
It is a good appeal, and it
should be observed intelligently,
but not followed blindly. Trees
of the right kind and in the right
place are mighty fine, but the
wrong kind of trees, or any kind
that are in the wrong place, may
be a detriment instead of a help.

LOVE OF LUXURY SEEN
WITH NEW
Atlanta, Sept. 5.—People
getting back to their former
its of extravagance and to
old love of luxury which the
time prosperity encouraged,
is indicated by statistics gather
ed by experts here.
It appears that the increased
prosperity of the past two years
has increased America’s appe¬
tite for diamonds, ostrich feath¬
ers, pearls, and a lot of others
that they had almost learned to
get along without.
Atlanta jewelers, particularly
the diamond experts in the Ar¬
cade on Peachtree, have received
figures that show that diamonds
now are coming into the United
States in increased quantity, and
of greater value than last year,
and in much greater quantity
than in any year since the world
war started.
Atlanta business men who
have studied the statistics say
that this increased tendency to
buy luxuries and unessentials
is evidence of a general prosper¬
ity. People are making more
money now, and more money is
in circulation than in the past
year or two, and the effect is
seen in a revival of buying in the
things that never have a good
sale in lean periods.
IOWA EDITOR SPEAKS OUT
Des Moines, la., Aug. 25.—Ed¬
itor F. J. Raymond, publisher of
the Blakesburg Weekly Excel¬
sior, is tired of running free ad¬
vertisements, and in an adver¬
tisement of his own, he tells the
world about it as follows:
“Here you will find a schedule
of prices from which no devia¬
tion will be made, but we hope to
donate a certain percentage of
our earnings toward founding an
asylum for those feeble minded
people who believe that an edi¬
tor has a soft snap.
“For telling Excelsior reader
a man is a successful citizen tho
everybody knows he is as lazy
as a bench warmer, $2.75.
“For referring to some galli¬
vanting young fellow as one who
is mourned by the entire commu¬
nity when he will only be missed
by the boozers, $10.18.
“Referring to one as a hero
and a man of courage and one
who will stand by his cq evic¬
tions when everybody knows h
is a moral coward and would sell¬
out for a dime, $4.13.
“Referring to some gossipy fe¬
male as an estimable lady whom
it is a pleasure to meet and know
when every man in town would
rather see Satan coming, $3.10.
“Calling an ordinary preacher
an eminent divine, 50 cents.
“Lambasting the daylights out
of John Barleycorn at the behest
of the local dry forces, $6.77.
“Whooping it up for the re¬
peal of the Volstead Law in the
interest of the local White Mule
Funnel Club, $6.77.
“Referring to a deceased mer¬
chant who never advertised and
who was too stingy to contrib¬
ute toward needed public im¬
provements, as a leading citizen
and a progressive resident, $349.
THE VALUE OF TREES
The thing to be done now in
many other states, as well as
here in Georgia, where we have
not as yet waked up to the im¬
portance of the reforestation
program, is to get attention of
the people, to keep the trees be¬
fore them, that they may become
interested in supporting officials
of city or county or state in more
and broader plans to preserve the
the forests and to replace
forests; and to prosecute systematic ex¬
tensive schemes for
plantng of shade trees. The New
York Trbune had an item woi
thy of note recently:
An encouraging development
of the American Tree Associa¬
tion’s campaign for the reforest¬
ing of the country appears in
the growing inclination of state
and municipal governments to
take an organized part in it. In
New Jersey where an extensive
scheme of road improvement by
the state is in progress, the gov¬
ernor has urged the desirability
of having shade trees planted
(along all the highways, and + he
plans to that end are being pre¬
pared by the department of con¬
servation and development. And
now Indiana has taken the very
unique step of enrolling its en¬
tire legislature in the Tree As¬
sociation, each member, and also
the governor, qualifying by the
plantintr of at least one tree.
Let the work of education in
the value of trees go on; of the
trees in the town or village, and
along the streets and in the
and on the highways, and
mav come the broader
and state reforestation plans.

FROM VACATION TO SCHOOL
When school opens in the fall
rural children that have been
playing or working out of doors
should he watched rather care¬
fully. The change from a day of
physical activity to one of seven
or more hours of confinement is
great, and may bring on an ill¬
ness unless a few precautions are
taken. For a short time, at least
the school day might well be
broken up into more than the
usual number of periods, and
the children given frequent re¬
cesses. They should be advised
to eat less heartily of strong food
