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 ? ntil the last minutd. Many folks n and to plant the grounds but put Un tH’t is too late in the spring ”\ 1 nen Pa y they will do it the fol *W ' ne ’ year and repeat the same ■nig over again.

No one can possibly live in a home with beauti ful grounds, made so by trees, shrub bery, etc., and pot be a letter man Therefore, let’* not say that we cars nothing for the beautiful, because we do whether conscious of it or nm Let’s not stifle what lova there may be in our natures for beauty of Uiw. kind, “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 Noith Carolina mountain-, and ins new lakes are unexcelled fer beauty IHE DANIELS VfLL* MONITOR.

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.
