'That in Italy all roads lead to Rome.
We don’t know aaout t'nt but we do know
that in Douglasville there is no place where you
e^n buy more for the money or get more for your
produce than at
Baggett & Burton’s
In hot weather, more than any other time,
you need to„know that what you eat is fresh and
pure. We keep our stock fresh and clean and
buy our produce fresh every day.

their own roads without, State pj'
federal aid and they can do that, hk
they they have been dong, or levy
bonds just as they wish. The Strife
and Federal government are not
going t,o spend any tnopey to build
rurlal roads for farmers to 'haul
produce over; they are going to
build national post roads for auto
mobiles and for military purposes
if they ever need them.
The post roads on which the
Federal fund is 1 he spent, are al-
rady designated and mapped out,
and if the state supplement, that,
fund as the law requires, the work
will begin, and not 'before.
Who is it that has been telling
the people that, the Federal fund
and the State fundi to supplement
it. would be spent on all the public
roads in each county in the state,
aecordin to the road milage with
out discrimination? Somebody is
trying to mislead the people on this
oad question and I think that. I
sfiot into tli right, bunch a few days

“Meats in Storage”
Every working day of the year
75,000,000 pounds of meat are required
to supply home and export needs—and
only 10 per cent of this is exported.
These facts must be kept in mind
when considering the U. S. Bureau of
Markets report that on June 1, 1919,
there were 1,348,000,000 pounds of
meats in cold storage. If the treat in
storage was placed on the market it
would only be 20 days’ supply.
This meat is not artificially withheld
from trade channels to maintain or
advance prices.
Meat* in storage .consist of—
65 per cent (approximate) hams, bacon, etc.,
in process of curing. It tskes 30 to 90
days in pickle or saM to complete the
process.
10 per cent is frozen pork that is to he cured
later in the year. -.
C per cent is lard. This is only four-fifths
of a pound per capita, and much of it will
have to go to supply European needs.
19 per cent is frozen beef and lamb, part of
which ia owned by the Government and
was intended chiefly for over-seas ship
ment. If this were all diverted to domes
tic trade channels, it would be only
1% lbs. per capita—a 3 days’ supply.

From this it will be seen that “meats
in storage” represent merely un
finished goods in process of curing and
the working supply necessary to assure
the consumer a steady flow of finished
product.

EEP YOUR LAWNS
PRETTY ALL THE YEAR
Constant Care May Keep Home
Beautifier At Its Best
Baggett & Burton,
The carpet-< -the-yanl from the |
landscape standpoint is the baste of
the Home Beautiful. It is the ground
work of the whole picture—the open
center about which other things should
be planted. Many excellent landscape
effects and pieaeiiig natural picture#
are obtained with only grass and trees,
and; contrary to the average concep
tion, flowers, although they may he, |
and often are employed with telling j
effect, are really incidental and should ,
not be used until the law has obtained j
perfection. !
Blue grass makes one of the pret-1
tiest lawns possible, but since it usu
ally languishes during the summer
except, possibly, in shaded areas or in ,
sections of north Georgia it haB been
found expedient to use mixtures of
Kentucky blue grass, Bermuda gra |
and others, varying with the locality, j
Mowing once a. week will help to';
keep it green by causing new growth
and forcing it to spread, limiting in >
a better sod for the lawn a..<l chok-1
ing out of weeds. When .lie grass is
cut weekly there is no need.of raking j
off the cuttings. On the other hand, j
it should be allowed to remain on the ;
lawn to be worked down around the
roots of the plants an<l rot so the or-i
anic matter of th- soil will be kept up. |
The summei fertilization of the j
lawn should consist of top dressing j
it once a month with nitrate of soda, j
using a pound of nitrate to 400 square ;
feet of lawn. Apply this just before j
a rain if possible, otherwise follow j
the application of the nitrate with a I
good watering. Do not sprinkle the
lawn every afternoon, but about once
a week, and, during dry times, give
it a good watering by allowing the
sprinkler to stay in one place until the
ground is thoroughly wet.
In the fall, before very cold weath
er, cut the Bermuda grass close, and
sow blue grass seed at the rate of
one pound and a half to each 400
square feet of lawn. This is for the
winter. It is also well to give a top
dressing of well rotted manure after
sowing these seed. For further in-
formation, write the* Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture.
