BEAUTIFYING home grounds
NOT EXPENSIVE
Of all the unattractive places, the
home grounds without shade trees
.hrudery, and grass heads the list
There is no reason for such a state of
affairs existing, because in whatever
condition one’s finance# may be, a
f eW dollars may be dug up for a few
shade trees and a few clumps of
shrubbery. We have seen many small
homes almost remade in appearance,
where not more than $8 or $lO was
spent for shrubbery and a dollar or
two for some lawn grass seed.
Neither is it necessary to secure
the services of a paid landscape gar
dener in order to beautify the home
He would probably make
the place look better than the home
owner himself* yet with the free in
formation that is available for every
one, there is no reason why anyone
cannot properly locate and plant
shrubbery and trees.
State agricultural colleges, county
agents, nurserymen, farm papers and
other agricultural organizations are
all glad to supply information of this
kind. Where one will take a picture
of the house and yard where shrub
bery and trees are desired and send
it to the state agricultural college
or to nurserymen having shrubbery
for sale, detailed information as to
the exact kind of shrubbery that is
best suited and where it should be
located may be had. In sending in'
such a picture send along a rough
drawing, showing location of house,
walks, driveways, and any trees or
shrubbery that may already be on
the grounds.
Abo show on the drawing the dis
tance between the house and the
driveway and the distance between
the trees and house, the height of
the roof of the house, the height of
the porch floor from the ground.
Another source from which much
information along this line may be
secured is from the catalogues put
out by nurserymen, and from bulle
tins put out by the state agricultur
al colleges and the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington,
C. They are written by men who
are fully informed as to the best
methods of beautifying the r.ome
grounds, and are free to anyone who
asks for them.
The main point that we wish to
wake here is that the cost of improv
es the home grounds is not necessa
ry expensive. It is true that one
eay spend an unlimited amount of ,
woney j n improving the grounds,
,lilt it is equally true that a mighty
j r '" j d showing may be made with a
■wited amount of money.
Another point we would make is
this work should not be put off

“SEE GEORGIA FIRST”
Movement Started by Secretary of
State S. G. McLendon
While the several movements to
build a bigger and better Georgia
are under way every erfort of every
good citizen should be put behin 1
them to carry them to success bu‘
in these movements for the material
betterment of the state the ert .
side of thipgs should not be for o l
ten in the opinion of S. C. Me’ er
don, Secretary of State. The esih t
ic side naturally would include de
velopment of recreation centers and
Georgia ranks among the first states
in the union in heY potentialities
in this respect the official declared.
“It is a wonderful sign of better
things t© see that well organized
movements are under way in which
The Week is co-operating which have
fier their object industrial expansion,
development of diversified farming
programs, construction of a great
state port, utilization of Georgia’s
vast mineral resources for Georgia
factories, reforestation and the en
couragement of foreign capital to
come to Georgia," he said. “But I
want to suggest briefly what can al
so be done in development of recre
ational areas in this state. All of
these movements are good ones, not
one of them is controversial, each is.
a movement in which all the people
can unite in carrying to a successful
conclusion. To this list 1 want to add
ievelopment of recreational centers.
“Georgia has in her northern
mountain section a section wiiich
should become the playground of the
entire south. No state in the union
is blessed with as fine a variety of
scenery as is Georgia. We have
everything from mountain resorts to
ocean bathing beaches. Our moun
tain section, while not containing as
high mountains as some of the states
is as beautiful as can be found on
the continent and could be turned in
to a vast playground which would
serve the entire south.
“Now I suggest that this summer
every Georgian who has a vacation
period coming to him to use all of
it or part of it in visiting thjs beau
tiful section and seeing at first hand
just what a wonderful beauty spot
it is. In Georgia we have some of
the prettiest waterfalls in the world
yet flew of our people have seen
them. We have in the Georgia moun
tains the second highest waterfall in
the country but I doubt if more than
a few hundred Georgians have ever
seen it. In Lumpkin, White, han
nin, Rabun, Murray, Towns and oth
er North Georgia counties can be
found every variety of mountain
scenery. Power developments car
ried out by the Georgia Railway and
Power Company have created some
of the most beautiful lakes in the
country in those Georgia mountains
but only a scant number of our peo
ple have ever seen them.
“In the last few years the state
highway department ani the federal
government have co-operated in
building a system of splendid roads
which now makes these beauty spots
accessible to every Georgian. They
are located within a few hours drive
of Atlanta. Camping sites large e
nough to meet the needs of the en
tire south can be found in North-
Georgia. The highway systems soon
will reach all the prettiest parts of
the North Georgia section and I be
lieve we could bring about wonder
ful development if we could get our
people to visit this section this sum
mer.
“The Georgia mountains are
many respects far pretf : er than th r

anywhere. • There k splendid fishing,* l
innumerable mountain springs and
streams, the weather is cool and com
fortable in the hottest part of the
summer and that section is free of
mosquitoes and other pests.
“If we can only get our people
visit the Georgia mountains this
summer we wilt start the develop
ment movement which ultimately
will lead to the erection of great re
sort hotels : all through these moun
tains. .The federal government hks
set aside much of this land for rec
reational purposes and it is uo to
the people of this state to begin this
development by at least going to
visit these mountains. When the
stream of Georgia people begins to
flow to the mountains you will sec
the people ofi Florida, Alabama, _M ; s- '
sissippi, Louisiana and other south
f>m t?tes flocking to tkis beautiful
section in droves. This is what is
- -’ded to bring about this develop-
Tier t and I would like to see the
*v> ,-veirent begin on a big scale this
