Reports from different sections in
dicate that farmers are very much
delayed throughout the entire state.
Late planting of cotton in North
Georgia, as well as South Georgia, will
be beneficial to the boll weevil, pro
vided the summer is favorable.
The scarcity of labor this spring is
going to be quite a drawback to the

there will be practically no surplus

The April report of the Bureau of
Crop Estimates shows a farm labor
situation that is well worth consider-
ng among our many 4; high cost of
•Vmg” problems.
The laborers, and even the farmers
themselves, are leaving the farms in
order to profit by the high earning
’apacity of their work in other in
dustries.
The supply of farm labor in the
United States is 72.4 oer-cent of nor
mal and a year ago was 84.4 per-cent
of normal.
The demand for farm labor is 105.3
oer-cent of normal and av ear ago was
101.8 per-cent of normal.
In other words, our farmers have
about 69 per-cent of the help they
want to operate their farms and a year
ago they had 83 per-cent of the help
needed.
Applying the situation to the in
dividual farmer, he is doing one of
three things: leaving the farm for
some other work, cutting down his
planted acreage to conform to his
supply of labor, or keeping his labor,
by paying more for it.

ouija board to find out what the re- i
suit will be. The law of supply and I
demand has had a whole lot of trouble j
in staying on the job in these days of I
speculators and non-producing para
sites, but there is considerable cer
tainty that it will be found in good
working order when the supply of
farm products falls below the demand
for them.
The supply of farm products will
certainly decrease as the supply of
farm labor decreases nnd the situation
will o-nly be remedied when farm
wages compete with wages off the
farm: That will and can be done
when it becomes absolutely necessary
and the consumer must foot the bill
of the increased cost of production or
do without something to eat and wear.
The world is so busy dollar-chasing
that the man who stays with the
farm must almost certainly do better
in the future than he could by join
ing in the chase.
Spray For Rose Bushes
An application of Bordeaux mixture
■ in the spring before blossoming, will
! greatly aid in keeping the rose bushes
] in a healthy condition.
This spray may be used beneficially
for practically all diseases of the rose
j bush. It is made as follows:
j One pound copper sulphate (blue-
stone), j pound quicklime to 10 gal
lons of water. Dissolve the bluestone
and lime in separate vessels, then add
them to enough water to make the
quantity up to ten gallons. The same
perscription may be used for smaller
or larger quanities.
VALUE OF LIME III AGRICULTURE
Pulverized Limestone Should Be Stored In Bins
Or Warehouses So Farmers Can Get Any
Amount Needed at Any Time
(By W. M.
In a bulletin issued by the Michigan
Agricultural College on lime and Its
uses and functions in soils, the state
ments are made that “Lime was used
more than three thousand years ago
In parts of Europe to improve soils,”
and that “in some of our Eastern
States liming has been practiced since
the earlier stages of the agricultural
development and its use has gradually
spread until it is added to the soil t;o
a greater or less extent, as far west
ward ms the region of lighter precipi
tation.”
Lime was used on farms of the
South more than fifty years ago, and
with excellent results, but only In re
cent yours has its value In soil uml
crop Improvement work become gener
ally known. Dr. H. A Morgan, Presi
dent of the University of Tennessee,
aud one of our most eminent agricul
tural authorities, says: ‘The heavy
annual rainfallof the South leaches the
soil of Mine to such an extent that
clovers can not be satisfactorily grown
and indeed the yields of nearly all the
common crops are reduced. An ap
plication of two tous of ground lime
stone per acre once iu, say six years,
can briug about astonishing results.”
Thus we see that the Mine needs of
soils are recognized In all sections, and
it is plainly apparent that every ef
fort. should be made to supply these
needs.
Some Illustrations.
We find in Georgia, the Carollnas
and other Southeastern States, One
fields of alfalfa, clover and the grasses
wtiere a few years ago there were
palled and gullied hillsides, or sandy
soils Impoverished by clean cultiva
tion, and. upon inquiry, learn that In
every case the change was brought
about through the use of agricultural
limestone which made legume raising
possible. Such object lessons In a
county show what can he done with
the soils of the whole comity, and of
all counties in these states.
With clover and the grasses—good
hay fields and permanent pasture*—
cattle raising can be made to double
the farm incomes of the South, and the
production of such forage crops means
the Improvement and conservation of
soil fertility and larger yields of other
crops that follow./
Limestone Should Be Stored In Bins
or Warehouses.
The use of agricultural limestone for
the improvement of soils and crops
would be more general if arrange
ments were made for storing this ma
terial In bins or warehouses at conve
nient points.
The farmer who can buy and handle
pulverised limestone, as shipped by
car loads, can not always get’ the ma
terial when needed on account of car
shortage or other difficulties which de
lay shipments, while others are de
terred from supplying the lime needs
of their soils because of their Inability
to use large quantles at one time.
Examples 8et By Other 8tates.
The building of limestone bins at
railway station* has solved the prob-
Goodman.)
lein in some sections of Illinois. Ohio
and Virginia. The plan followed in
t.luMe states enables the farmer, com
ing to town with a wagon or truck load
of produce, to haul ti load of limestone
back to Ills farm, instead of returning
with an empty vehicle, and thus sup
ply his needs at little expense in time
and labor. Limestone associations
have been formed l»y farmers in a
number of counties in Illinois to en
courage the use of limestone and for
buvlng It stored in bins or warehouses
for the benefit t»f members and the
general public. The expense of erect
ing bins and the employment of sell
ing agents Ik paid out of dues collect
ed from members.
This plan might be adopted with
profit by farmers of any section of the
Southeast, but other arrangements
could be made which would enable
them to procure the material as need
ed, and husluess men could join the
farmers Iu this work with the certain
ty of sharing In the benefits to be de
rived from the advancement of general
fanning Interests. Where it Is not
thought advisable to build limestone
bios, arrangements could be made for
storing the materia! In warehouses or
cheaply constructed sheds. The main
point Is to have pulverized limes tone
available at nil times, so that the small
farmer can get any amount lie wonts
at any time and haul It to his farm
when It Is convenient for him to do so.
important To Peanut Growers.
Just now the need for having lime
stone available for use on Southern
farms is rendered more urgent for the
reason that Mine Is necessary in grow
ing peanuts, the most valuable crop
now produced in boll weevil sections of
the cotton belt. The planters of Vir
ginia, the state which ranks third In
peanut production, and where this
crop has been grown commercially
since the Civil War, consider limp very
necessary iu peanut soils. A bulletin
Issued by the Virginia Agricultural Ex
periment Station states that “Peanut
soils should be limed once In four
years with 1,000 pounds of burnt lime,
or 2,000 pounds of ground limestone^
and 200 or 400 pounds of acid phos
phate should be applied In the rows at
the time of planting the crop.” Dr.
W. W. Long, Director of Extension,
Clemson Agricultural College of South
Carolina, says: “It is necessary to lime
soil for peanuts unless it 19 definitely
known that there is an abundance in
the’soil. In this state at least 1,000
pounds of burnt lime or 2,000 pounds
of ground limestone should be used
per acre.” This will apply to moat of
the peanut soils of the Southeast, and
shows the necessity for having lime
stored where It can be procured with
out delay and In quantities required
by large and small growers.
The business of peanut growing
alone Is of such importance to the
South at this time as to call for the
united action of business men and
farmers In making available for Imme
diate needs a material which must be
used In order to produce profitable
crops.
To You Who Own Property in
This Locality
This is to warn you that an old offender against
property rights is at large again. He has only just
made his annual break-out, but he is already destroy
ing valuable property right and left! Reports show
that he is lurking within striking distance of this
town, right now. He is known by the name, Tornado.
Look out for him.
Don’t wait until you see those ominous, murky
clouds looming above you, before you think seriously
of insuring against loss from tornadoes. Waiting
often proves expensive. Do your thinking now.
Yes, personal safety, first. That’s accepted.
But what about your financial safety when the wind
cuts loose ? It takes but a minute of the tornado’s
crushing force to wreck the work of years ! You
ought to act against such loss while you can.
Property of all kinds'—buildings, personal effects,
automobiles, live stock—grow ever more valuable.

Overland 4 Is A New
Type of Car
It sets a new standard for light car riding
comfort. Its three-point suspension Triplex
springs are unquestionably the most important
improvement in motor car riding qualities since
the introduction of pneumatic tires.
They not only make riding easy, thev guard equally
the mechanism of the car from the shocks of the road,
prolonging the car’s life and greatly reducing the costly
wear and tear of upkeep.
By thus shielding the mechanism, they make possi
ble very light construction, permitting highest quality in
every part without excessive cost, bight weight in turn
assures great economy of fuel and tires.
Thus Overland 4 combines in a remarkable way the
comfort and luxury of the heavy expensive car with the
economy and convenience of the light weight car. Its
springbase is 130 inches, yet its wheelbase is only 100
inches. It turns around in 33 1-2 feet. It rides w r ell on
any road. Its equipment is complete from dismountable
rims to Auto-I.ite Starter, lights, and horn.
Its extraordinary qualities were tried and proved
by two years of tests covering more than 250,000 miles
under every extreme climate, altitude and road
condition.
The longer you ride in it, the better you like it.
