TIME TO SPRAY
YOUR ORCHARD.
Now is the time to spray your or
chard for sonic, It can’t bo done after
the loaves come. Concentrated lime-
sulphur Is the material needed. The
County Agent will he glud to advise ns
to this work, nml wherever possible to
come to your orchard and got you start
ed right—especially If several iieighliors
will join together at your orchard, so
that one demonstration will help ns
much as possible. If your orchard is
of any slzo you should hav* ii Imrrel
■pray puuip to do the work with, ami
your County Agent can help you in get
ting the right kind and at the best price.
One spraying is not enough. to insure
good fruit, but it will help your trees,
and is the tlrst stop toward good fruit

RESULTS OF SPRAYING.
In 1920 Q. Y. Chestnut sprayed hi*
orchard Iwieo. The result* have satisfied
him of the value of the work. Some
trees heretofore yielding only damaged
fruit gave him good fruit And the
general quality of his fruit was so much
improved that- he received prices well
above the market for what he sold. Ask
him about it B. M. Drake
FARMERS' WEEK AT ATHENS.
“This is the day of concent rated ef
fort. The farmer is just ns busy ns the
rest of society. It is essential, there
fore, Hint Ihii information lie nets Is In
put up in Hie tabloid form, so that
large doses can be taken In a short time
and digested at leisure." So sold Dr.
Andrew M, Houle, president, when re-
eeally railed on for some suggestions
relative to jltc program which the State
College of Agriculture will put on for
Formers' Week,” .Ian. 21 to 2!>.
“Our agriculture has seldom faced a
more trying economic situation than
will prevail in 1021. Our 250 county
agents mid the members of the resident
teaching st.'itt lone been thinking over
the situation, mid they hove worked out
a program wlilrli they bellovo will best
insure our farmers against undue losses
1021, help to pot our agriculture
back on a miiiiiieriifive basis, mid liclp
the farmer bridge over the iliflleult sit
uation by which he is eon fronted. To
this end the instruction which will be
fTcrcd during “Farmers’ Week'' Ims
been organized along unique lines. Only
subjects of Immediate concern to the
funner, and which can bo treated in a
practical and up-to-date manner, will be
oilsldered. Tlio old-style method of
lecturing will lie replaced by the demon
si rat Ion process. In other words, those
attending 'Farmers’ Week 1 ' will be
given a prnetlea) insight into the usn
mid application, for instance, of cal-
eluin arsenate aa a dust, spray to kill
tlio boll weevil. Living at homo will
ls> emphasized ns strongly ns possible;
also the noeosslty of having a garden,
kooping a cow, , establishing a dock of
chickens, nod raising Homo hogs oq
grazing crops. Morcovor, the method* of
procedure involved in those undertakings
will lie illustrated and detailed in a
most practical fashion. Other demon
strntlonn will relate to tlio killing nml
caring of the farm meat Hiipply, nml
tlio production, finishing and grading
of market hogs. One of tlio .fonturcs
of the course will bo a bocf and dairy
cattl|i judging contest. An Intimate
study of tlio pasture grasses and forage
crops adapted to (loorgia will be ipado.
Thu question of handling hoIIs ho its to
maintain and increase fertility will bo
discussed, and them will bn licinonatra-
tioas in the priming mid care of tlio
hnmio orchard and the estimation of
timber In the farm wood lot. The course
will wind up with a big tractor mid im
plement demonstration on tlio last day.
Marketing and distribution problems
will I'ome in for their slmre of atten
tion. Various phases of tills subject,
affocting the wclfnro of Georgia farmers
lit this time, will bo taken up anil eluci
luted.
11 Remember, this is a free course, put
on for tile solo purpose of furnishing
tlm farmers of Georgia with tlio latest
available Information la tlio most con-
else' and practical manner puBsible.
There never was a tlmo when It was
more important to put into use tlio very
latest and best Information which can
be obtutiiod. Last year, when times
wore prosperous, tlio 100 farmers who
nttoiiilcd ' Farmers’ Week’ were elated
Over the nature of tlio instruction of
forod. It' this course proved -so helpful
undor tlio conditions which existed in
1020, certainly no farmer can afford to
miss the opportunity which lma boon
provided for 1921. "
: HOW CAN YOU TELL AN HONEST
MAN?
I Tho ldg surety companies, which in-
i sure against loss through dishonesty on
I tho part of the employees and other per-
' sons, have made a study of this question,
1 with some interesting results.
I They have found that thero Is a defi
nite relation between dishonesty, temp
tation and need.
When asked to go bond for a man,
they -do not base their decision on wlmt
a mftn looks like, Ids dress, nor what lie
himself Bays. In fact, Uiey rarely Bee
the man for whom they provide a bond.
They don’t take much stock in heredity,
and don't. attempt to find oat if the in-
lividuol's parents were ever guests in n
jail.
Wlmt they do go by is a ninn’s record
of past employment. If that’s all right,
they call afToril to take a chance oil his
honesty .
They investigate carefully the indi
vidual's history for ten years back, if
lie lino been honest during that time, is
living within his means, um| if his oc
copal ion does not offer many tempta
tions, he will generally remain worthy
of trust.
Huroty concerns say that a man who
Images jobs (uo often Is not a good
isk.
Married men nro better risks than
bncln’lnrs—unless there arc too many
hildrcn in tlm family, which sometimes
forces heads of families to take short
cut ways sf providing for them.
Mun who do not. receive n salary pro
portionate to their responsibility and
title aro not good risks.
l’nrsona in siiiull, settled communities
aro less likely to defalcate than thoso in
big cities-, for tho reason that everyone
is well known in the little towns, whereas
In cities next-door neighbors, often re-
innin strangers for years.
Thus a man living in n small place
knows ho would bo universally disgraced
if an act of wrongdoing were found out,
hut ono in n city is well aware that lie
might be ''arrested without people in tlio
same apartment knowing it.
A man in a brnncli office of a largo
corporation is more likely to go wrong
than ono in tho mnin office—because ho
is undor less iliroct supervision.
A youth ia not ns good n risk as an
oldcft man bocauso his diameter is not
yot formed, and ho 1ms no reputation to
uphold.

New Orleans Cotton Kxclmge, declared

tee. Opposing the billH before the com
mittee which would odiminnte nil specu
lators In cotton futuh's'on exchanges, Mr.
Butler said fnruit-rs. six months ago

ton lit 85 cents n pound.
Elimination of all speculation in fu
ture trading would lie disastrous to cot
ton producers and to the trade generally,
since it would force exchanges to close,
Mr. Butler asserted. Regulatory legis
lation unnoted in Hie United States could
not affect tlio future cotton market at
Liverpool, lie added, ami it would leave
the foreign spinners in control of this
market and they would be able to dic
tate the price* of cotton.
America and Europe for forty years
have recognized future trading ns tho
host Insurance yot devised for the cotton
trade, Mr. Butler said. Ho also advo
cated retention of “hedging" facilities,
ou the. ground that it enable* the far
mers to find a market- for their commod
ity nt any time during the year. The
legitimate speculator is the only “buf
fer". between the fnrmor and tlio con
sumer, whoso interests are diametrically
opposed.

HALF YOUR LIVING
WITHOUT MONEY COST
Cotton Production Costs Can Bo Cut
In Half By FSod And Grain
Making And Saving
Atlanta, Georgia.—(Special.)—"High
prices for cotton, such aa we .had a
year ago cannot reasonably bo oxpact-
od for a long time to come. European
countries that normally use half our
crop are so thoroughly disorganized
and paralyzed in a business way that
they will not be able to take the
usual quantities and pay high prices
for many yeara to come," said H. G
Hustings, President of the great
Southeastern Fair. •
"This situation which we cannot
oontrol, calls for lower costs of malt
ing cotton as well ob reduction In cot
ton acreage. The qutfckoat, safest
and most effective way to reduce cot
ton making coat la to produce on one's
own ncreB every pound of food, grain
and forage needed for family, tenants
and laborers and live stock.
"The situation requires chickens,
hogs, milk cowb and acres of corn,

ous crops frbm which to feed them
Last, but not least, in Importance, is
tho borne vegetable garden which is
tho quickest and cheapest source of
food In the world.
“Most folks hero In the South don't
take the home garden seriously and
thereby make a great mistake. There
are too many of the Tick and a prom
ise' sort of gardeas and mighty few
of the real sure enough kind.
"We have' Jieon told repeatedly by
those who plan and prepare for a real
garden, plant It, tend it and keep It
replanted through the season, that it
furnishes halt the family living at no
money cost except the small amount
spent for the seeds needed.
"The garden Is, or rather should be
tho' earliest planted. It brings food
the quickest. It starts cutting store
bills for food the first week anything
Is ready to use. A little later, half
or more needed for the table comes
out of tho garden.
“If rightly tended and replanted It
supplies food all summer and fall, the
surplus abovo dally needs goes into
cans or Is dried tor winter use. Yes,
the right kind of garden Is a life-
saver, and we all need a life-saver of
this kind In 1921."
“THE FORGOTTEN MAN."
"Tlio Forguitcn Man" is that indi
vidual who docs an honest day’s work,
pays his bills, brings up three or four
children, indulges himself ill ft pipe or
an occasional cigar, keeps up a small
savings account, nevor asks for charity
from anyone, never gets into trouble
with tho police, never/ makes a speech
or writes a letter to the editor—ill short,
iio’s the individual who keeps going on
Ids own raomeutum-r-gooil times, -bad
times, or indifferent times.
When the hat is pn*sed around for

chips in Ids mite.
Tho tax-gatherer visits'the Forgot tin
Man regularly, and collects toll for the
upkeep of tho police courts, jnils, and
poor-houses—none of which the Forgot
ten Man ever uses.
Hundreds of social agencies exist for
the Improvement of the human race,
but the Forgotten Man iH never included
in their surveys.
He is self-supporting, Belf-stnrting,
self-sufficient, and, being so, liu Is count-
I in mi nothing except the census. But
i that document )ie cuts a big figure,
because lie probably forms tlio vast ma
jority.
The Forgotten Man is just the every-
lay, common, ordinary plain citizen who
loes tho4>est ho cun, and makes a pretty
goodijot) of it. He’s the man you can
mint on in times of war or in tiniOH of
.icnee; in times of hysterical prosperity
oi in times of gloomy depression; in
imes of Republican mismanagement or
in times of Democratic management.
He's a dependable old horse—broken

Remember, tliero nre millions of him,
and tliero isa't much chance that ho will

Interesting Experience of a Texas Lady Who Declares That if More:
Women Krifcw About Cardui They Would Be Spared
Much Sickness and Worry.
Navasota, Texas.—Mrs. W. M. Peden,
of this place, relates the following interest
ing account of how she recovered her
strength, having realized that she was
actually losing her health:
“Health is the greatest thing in the
world, and when you feel that gradually
slipping away from you, you certainly sit
up and take notice. That is what I did
some time ago when 1 found myself in a
very nervous, run-down condition of
health. I was so tired and felt so lifeless
i could hardly go at all.
“I was just no account for work. I
would get a bucket of water and would
feel so weak I would have to set it down
before I felt like I could lift it to the shelf.
In this condition, ot course, to do even
my housework was a task almost im
possible to accomplish.
“1 was . . . nervous and easily upset'
I couldn’t rest well at night and was . . .-
just lifeless.
“I heard of Cardui and after reading f
decided I had some female trouble that
was pulling ine down. I sent for Cardui
and began it . .
“In a very short while after I began tho
Cardui Home Treatment I saw an im
provement and it wasn’t long until I was-
all right—good appetite, splendid rest
and much stronger so that I easily did iny-
house work.
“Later 1 took a bottle of Cardui as a
tonic. lean recommend Cardui find glad
ly do so, for if more women knew, il
would save a great deal of worry and
sickness.”
The enthusiastic praise df thousands ot
other women who have found Cardui
helpful should convince you that it is
worth trying. All druggists sell it.
