THE WORTH WHILE CLUB
GIVES A “TACKY PARTY”
The Worth While Club was hostess
to many of the most prominent peo
ple of Lyons at a “Tacky Party”
Tuesday evening at the beautiful
new store belonging to Messrs Dan
arid Claude Odom, which is now vac
ant. The party was given to raise
money to pay for the coping around
the Railroad Avenue Park, the little
plot of ground on the right-of-way
of the railroad from the postoffice to
the depot. The ladies propose to
make this little strip a “thing of
beauty and a joy forever.”
After the plot is enclosed they ex
pect to plant grass, set out shrubery,
put in two foutains and two hour
glasses, and in other ways beautify
1 it.
The store was decorated with
vases of white dog-wood, and wild
fragrant honeysuckles.
The guests were served on their >
arrival ginger cakes and lemonade 1
The costumes worn by the ladies, 1
gentlemen and children were grotes
que, tacky, old-fashioned and mod- j
ern, those in modern dress appear
ing very much out of style in that
gathering.
Mrs. Vannah Coleman represent
ed the typical backwoods belle of 40,
years ago and was unanimously voted
the frist prize—stick candy—of
fered to the lady wearing the tack
iest costume. Barney Brown’s cos
tume was simply beyond description
and extremely funny, and entirely
original. He captured the first
prize offered for the tackiest gen
tleman, a sweet potato' custard.
Those receiving second and third i
highest ovtes were Dess Gray, Mrs.
Jim Hall and Miss Bailey.
A program was rendered by the (
children and games were played by
the grown folks as well as the cnfx-;
dren. All entered heartily into.
the games led by W. T. China and
S. J. Henderson, demonstrating the
fact that they had not forgotten the
games of long ago, nor how to play
them.
All the members of the club were
“tacky” more “tacky” and most |
“tacky”. Wish the Progress had space
to give and this writer had power to
describe just how funny many of
them looked.
Quite a nice little sum was realized
from the door receipts and the club
appreciates the enthusiasm and co-op
eration of the many friends who so
■kindly helped to make the “Tacky
Party” a success.

Poultry Car April 26th
Are you getting ready for the
poultry car that will come through
1 here on the freight train Saturday
morning, April 26th? A few friers,
now, while the price is high, togeth
er with a few old hens that are fat
or that are poor layers, will help you
; get some money to buy somethings
| you need. April 26th is one week
1 from next Saturday, so hens and
! friers should be confined in a close
! place now and given an intensive
feeding with .soft mash. The extra
fat they will put on if you coop them
now will more than pay for the feed
! ing and then you will have them in
much better shape for the car.
Next Tuesday we will know what
prices will be for this sale. If you
have poultry that you want to put in
1 either call me up or watch the issue
'of the Lyons Progress and Vidalia
Advance that should be in your
| hands Friday morning.

Celery—B minutes.
Eggplant— 5 minutes.
Cucumber —lO minutes.
Lettuce —8 minutes.

Does Nitrate of Soda Pay on Cotton
The following tests were made on
the experiment station plats by C. C.
Blackwell, head of the 'Agronomy De
partment.
50 pounds soda—9Bß pounds seed
cotton per acre.
100 pour'ls soda—li26 pounds
seed cotton per acre.
150 pounds soda—ll6l pounds
1 seed cotton per acre,
j 200 pounds soda —1162 pounds
seed cotton per acre.
250 pounds osad—l367 pounds
seed cotton per acre.
The nitrate of soda was applied
the first plowing after chopping and
showed very profitable results.
Nitrate of Soda Test Toombi
County
Four nitrate of soda tests are be
ing run in this county by the Chil
ean Nitrate of Soda Agency under
the direction of the county agent
These are located with Tom New Tom
Taylor, Mr. Fuller on Dess Gray’s
place, and Charlie Bush on Col. Giles
place. Tom New and Mr. Fuller
are adding 10 pounds of nitrate of
soda to the fertilizer that they are
putting on % of an acre and leaving
the other % acre with the same fer
tilizer that they would have used on
the whole acre.
Mr. Tom Taylor and Charlie Bush
will use 100 pounds as a top derss
ing on % of an acre, the first siding
after chopping, and will also leave'
the other % acre without top dress
ing. Watch these four places for
results this fall. The type of land
varies a good deal and will show the
farmers of this county whether or
not it pays to use soda.
Carload of Molasses Bought
The carload of molasses which we >
have been making up for the farmers
, was bought last Monday from a Sa-!
vannah firm at 21 1-5 cents per gal- J
j lon. This is a higher price than we
had when we first started making
; up the car order but farmers were
so low giving us their orders that
we could not hold the first offer.
Another offer wa s received of 20%,
last Saturday but when we wired ac- j
cepting that they had sold out to one
of the commercial mixture manu
facturers. Today we had an offer
of 21.2 delieverd Lyons and accept
ed. We expect shipment Wednes
day and should arrive here Friday.
"By the time this paper is in your
hands you may have notice that your !
molasses are here.
Who Should Use Calcium Arsenate
Poison
There is a large group of farmers
w’ho should not use dust or any other
poison on their cotton. They are
the farmers whose land is so poor
that it will not make 1-3 of a bale to
the acre and the farmers who plant
over ten balles to the plow. Oh!
yes, I know your intentions are to
dust these fifteen acres anyway but
if you depend on a hand duster to*
cover over 8 acres you are not going
to do it. You possibly might have
time enough to dust it if you had a
two row mule machine but you will
be working yourself and mules day
and night too. The sensible thing
that has been proven time and time
again is to plant ten acres or less to
the plow, fertilize it from 400 to
600 pounds of a 10-4-4 or 12-4-4
oarying the potash to less on heavy
land and up to 4 per cent on light
soils, and dust thoroughly. Those
methods will make you cotton each
year. But our trouble is when we
make a god crop on 5 acres, we think
I We have learned the secret and can
I do the same thing on 20 acres.
