Dr. Barker to
Speak In City
(Continued from Page One)
jnd without any oratorical flour
ishes, Dr. Barker has left a pro
found impression on the lives
of these millions or young people.
His most popular lecture, "How to
Make the Most out of Life,” has
been delivered to three million boys
and girls of high school age. Almcst
three-fourths of the young people
who have listened to this talk have
come back to the auditorium the
same evening to hear his address to
mothers and fathers, and their sons
and daugrters cm "The Most Im
portant Job in the World.”
One of the secrets of the success
of Dr Barker as a lecturer to high I
school youths is his understanding
of young people anl his direct ap
peal to their mentality. He makes
his talks to youth appeal to the
idealism of youth, shows an ap
preciation of their problems, and
from a lifetime of experience he
speaks frankly without offending
Many times educators have told
him that academic tests of students!
a few monms after his lectures have
shown a remarkable increase in the
students’ grades.
Dr Barker has been a member
of the Rotary Club of Grand Rapids.
Michigan, since October, 1921. He
comes to our city through the cour
tesy of the Rotary Club as a con
tribution of community service.

Lespedeza . . May
Be
oteueu Seeded nn on excess /t iwsc
Acreage of Wheat
__
Georgia farmers who have over-1
gram, and at the same time, bene
fit their farm by increased con
servation.
Homer S. Durden, state AAA
administrative officer, said the
farmers may now seed lespedeza
on the excess grain and cut the
wheat planted on the excess acre
age for hay when the crop reaches
the early “milk” stage, and still
comply fully with provisions of!
the farm program. ;
He explained that a number of
Georgia wheat farmers planted an
excess wheat acreage last fall and
that the crop now has reached the
stage of beginning to make !
growth.
“The farmers,” Durden said,
“could now sew 30 to 40 pounds
of lespedeza over the wheat grow
ing on the excess acreage and Use
a drag harrow to cover the seed
lightly without damaging the
wheat crop.”
Then, he continued, the wheat
can be cut about the first of May
for hay, and the lespedeza, which
at that time should be a few
inches high, may be left to mature.
The Triple-A offi-cial said farm
ers following this procedure could
get one dollar an acre assistance
for seeding lespedeza. He also
said they may apply phosphate to
the lespedeza, after the wheat has
been cut, and get an additional
$1.50 assistance per 300 pounds of
16 per cent acid phosphate.
Durden said that this option is
not available to a commercial
wheat farmer who has a w'heat
allotment.
