WHY IMPORT $60 PER CAPITA
Liv. at home. Our vast undev*lop
•d natural resources and the marve¬
lous adaptability of our »oila and
climate make tha production of avery
needful food crop poaaible and yet
we are guilty of importong into tha
state avery year approximately
$167,000,000 worth of food for our
aelvea and our live stock.
Our great volume of agricultural
wealth ia reduced from $750,000,000
to $600,000,000 and we pay tha
ether sections of the country a tax
of $60 par capita or $160,000,000
for food crops which we can gTow
economically ^nd in great variety
and abundance.
Georgia now holds a leading posi¬
tion In supplying the nation with
peechee, watermelons, and musk
melons. Why should ahe not include
tomatoes, greens, beans, cabbage,
and lettuce when there are so many
square milea of undeveloped terri¬
tory adapted to trucking?
Ours is a natural live stock state.
Tha number of hogs has increased in
six years by nearly one million head,
a tribv^te to the value and importance
of t$e educational work promoted
P« imtribr through the agency of the
Extension Division of the Georgit
Stats College of Agriculture. A silo
and twenty-fivs acres in grain on
every farm would wipe out our feed
bills for live stock.
If the money spent for food stuffs
outside the state was kept at home
we could easily have schools, roads,
orderly town* and villages, and tdu
cational institutions superior to any
now feund in tha Union.-The matter
again. resolves itself into education
along ; the right lines. Tha present
generition giAn of boye and girls vocational must
be the right type of
instruction in agriculturs and home
economics.
A state that pays between $80,
000,OtiO and $40,000,000 in income is
taxes to the Federal government
not too poor to undertake construc¬
tive work like this. Let’s stqp t th*
leaks once and for all by learning to
live at homa.

PERENNIAL CARDENS POPULAR
4 IN SOUTH.
f
Mori than 26,000 girle in the 16
Southern States planted winter gar¬
dens last year, and .4,949 more bed
perennial, or permanent,.gardens, ac¬
cording to sports compiled by the
United State* Department of Agri¬
culture. The winter garden bridges
the gap in the seasons, enabling the
southern family to have green vege¬
tables the year round, while many
inderect benefits result from the pe¬
rennial garden in addition to its di¬
rect uses. The perennial gardens gen¬
erally contain some fruit or nut tress,
grape vines, berries, or ether email
fruits, selected according to climatic
conditions.
Ths home demonstration agents,
■who ere supervised by the United
States Department of Agriculture
and the State colleges, encourage
ths girle, who are doing advanesd
work in the garden clubs, to estab¬
lish permanent gardens, because they
realise that such gardens serve ee
memorials to club girls who go away
to high school or college and also
serve to draw the girls back to the
farmsteads. A perennial garden also
provides e means to earn money, and
enables many girls at school te pay
•t lsaat part of thair own sxpenssa.
Plantings in these perennial gar¬
4 dens are generally begun not later
then spring of the second year of
club work, so that by the time a
club member reaches her third or
fourth year’s work her garden ie in
good bearing.

Value of Mottoes.
I The object of mottoes is to point out
something we have not yet attnlned,
yet strive after. It Is good to keep
them constantly before our eyes.—
