“The lack of flowers, grass, roses
and shrubbery around most farm
houses in the South 1s the most de
pressing fact of our farm life. We
need to ‘brighten up’ things around our
farm homes,” sald H. G. Hastings, of
Atlanta, recognized agricultural au
thority and president of the Georgia
Association, an orgapization working
for the better development of farm
conditions and the bringing in of
desirable settlers from other states.
“One of the greatest obstacles we
have in our work of getting new set
tlers located in Georgia is the lack
of any attempt to beautify the
home surroundings by our own peo
ple. Weather-bedten, unpainted houses,
tront and side yards bare of flow
ers, grass, shrubbery, roses and shade
trees give a black eye to the farm or
community. |
“Not only rural Georgia but the en
tire rural South needs the biggest
kind of a ‘Clean Up, Plant Up, Paint
Up' campaign., Go down almost any
country road in Georgia or other sister
states and hardly one house in ten
shows any attempt towards beautify
ing the home surroundings.
“This is not right. This is not fair to
wife, mother or daughter. This is not
fair to the boys growing up. Bare, un
attractive home surroundings just nat
urally encourage the women folks to
want to pick up and move to town. The
boys have no pride in a home with un
sightly, unattractive surroundings.
“Further, attractive home surround
ings add real cash value to the place.
Without attractive home surroundings,
almost any farm is unsalable at any
where near its value. Well-planted-up,
{attractive places often sell far beyond
their real value. Once made attractive,
the owner is usually so proud of it that
desire to sell ceases.
“Making homes and home surround
ings attractive in either country or
town is not expensive. Not necessary
to do it all at once. Make a start with
beds of easily-grown flowers, add &
few roses, flowering shrubs and vines
each year; put in a grass plot or small
lawn, and almost before one knows it
you will have home surroundings so
beautiful and attractive that it is the
talk of the whole neighborhood.
“Clean up, plant up, and, if you can
afford it, paint up in 1929.”
