1IY ERNEST CAMP,
President Georgia Press
Association
Spring is here, and with it comes
ttie unchanging call of Nature and
ttie great outdoors. No age, class
or condition is immune to the urge
to get away from the hum-drum ot
office, shop and household exist¬
ence and hie away to tlie high hills
and open spaces.
Tlie lure is as old as life itself
and one of the necessary elements
of life, because it is an inner voice
calling for change, relaxation and
a renewal of vital forces.
Tiie best place 1 know to visit
this spring and summer is the
glorious mountain section of Norrh
east and Northwest Georgia. The
seacoast is fine for those who like
that sort of thing, and I would
count that season incomplete which
failed to include a trip to Tybee or
St. Simon’s—
Hut of all nature's handiwork
the mountains appeal to me most,
because they give me strength for
the day’s labor and fill me with in¬
spiration for the days to come.
They always impress me wiih their
vastness, their resoluteness, their
calm and unruffled supremacy in
the section where nature is king.
Playground of State
Within recent years there has
been marked development in North
Georgia’s mountian section, ane 1
am confident that this development
will codlinue until it becomes the
playground of the entire state.
A prominent North Carolina
citizen last fall told Georgia editors
his state could offer nothing that
would eclipse the scenic splendors
of their own state, and he spoke
the truth. That great belt of coun¬
ties along the northern and north¬
western boundries offer scenes of
transcending loveliness. The ad¬
vance of civilization has lost them
none of their rugged realism nor
marred their witchery and charm.
There you have the towering
peaks, awe-inspiring cliffs, the ra¬
diant vulleys and the shimmering
waterfalls; there also are the tur¬
bulent streams, the crystal lakes,
the bubbling springs, the silent
forest and wild flowers in fragrant
profusion. You have sunsets ol
indescribable beauty and landscapes
no artist can paint.
The greatest tonic for tired
bodies and jaded nerves is a visit
to this wonderful mountain country
where one acts simply, thinks
clearly, rests easily, sleeps soundly
and east ravenously.
Once visited, Georgia’s moun¬
tain section calls back hundreds
who otherwise would Stay beyond
the confines of their own state,
leaving behind a panorama of
grace and picturesqueness that has
few equals in all America.
Natural Granduer
Once seen, these marvels ol na¬
ture leave a lasting impression
upon the minds of all visitors, a
feeling of pride that Georgia can
offer such spectacles of natural
grandeur.
The two greatest needs of this
Gyd-favored section are develop¬
ment and advertising, and both
seem to be assured. The number
of visitors has increased from year
to year. As the wonders of its
scenic glory have been witnessed,
the number of its admirers has
Devoted to the Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Interests of White County
ASBESTOS BUZZING
A brand-new boy arrived at the
home of Mr, and Mrs, Edlaw
Adams one day last week.
The farmers are getting along
very well with their planting tor
the weather has been favorable.
Our game laws are not broad
enough to include the reptile fam¬
ily. The human race has been
fighting snakes ever since ins Sa¬
tanic majesty entered that garden
of flowers in the form ot a serpent.
It is not right to kill the sheep be¬
cause the wolf entered the flock in
sheep’s clothing. Some of our
snakes are very useful. If you
want to see the rats leave the barn
just turn the black snake loose
there. The poison kind should be
mashed. The American rattler is
poison but lie is admired because
he puts you on notice of approach*
ing danger. Men fear snakes and
women fear mice, and why is this?
As the farmers do not have
enough to do they are trying to
have another stock law election.
This question lias been raised since
time immemorial. There seems to
be not much law after all to fence
or no fence. All law should be
based on common sense. Is it
right, safe, sane and sound for a
man to put up his neighbor’s cow
or bis old sow, which has been
rooting for the home team, and
charge him for the same when
there has been no damage done?
Some of them on the corners of
Tesnutee wanted a cut off in order
to get into no fence and now our
poor little district looks like Noah
Webster’s spelling book with * he
corners gnawed off. They call it
a 558 G. M. wnich is a lie for it
takes 100 men to make a Georgia
Militia district. If vve become en¬
tangled with China Tesnatee prob¬
ably could raise 10 able bodied
men. Look upon us and weep.

Garden Suggestions For May
Sent out by Horticulture Di¬
vision of State College of
culture.
A succession of plantings is
sential for a continuous harvest
vegetables. A good motto for the
gardener is “Start early and keep
planting.”
Beans, peas, radishes, lettuce,
mustard and the like should be
planted at ten-days to two-weeks’
intervals from early in the spring
until late in the summer. Six to
eight plantings will not be too
many. Bush beans will bear earlier
than tlie pole kinds, but have a
shorter harvesting season and tlie
yields are generally smaller. For
these reasons it is .usually best to
start with the former for early use.
but make tiie main crop of the
latter sorts. Use plenty of seed.
Thinning to a stand is more eco¬
nomical than replanting. Look in
your Vegetable Gardening bulletin
for instruction covering this matter.
The amount of space devoted to a
single planting ot a particular veg¬
etable will depend upon the num¬
ber of people to be fed and the pe¬
culiarities of their appetites.
Tomatoes, eggplants, peppers
and other crops started in the hot
bed should be transplanted to the
field when danger of frost is past.
Use early maturing varities for the
early harvest and the slower grow¬
ing and longer bearing sort for
later crops. Several plantings
should be made.
Plant the vine crops in well fer¬
tilized hills and give them plenty
of room. The rows for cucumber
and squash shoutd be three and
one.half to four feet apart while
those for cantalopes should be
somewhat wid$r.
Corn is a very desirable vege¬
table for home use and should be
planted in succession at ten-days to
two-weeks’ intervals from March
to August. Sweet corn matures
more quickly than field corn and
has a more desirable flavor, but the
yields are generally not so large,
and it will not stand hot weather.
Start the spray schedule early
keep it up. Write now for our
spray calendar and follow direc¬
tions. Directions for spraying
may be found in the Garden Bulle¬
tin also.

Dear Sir :
Referring to our several conver¬
sations regarding the rate on vege¬
tables from stations on your line to
various Georgia and other points
carried in Southern and Western
Vegetable tariff No. 6, published
’■'i.the Southern Railway. *
It would seem that the correct
rate from these points and which 1
hereby ask for would be on the
basis of 5F per quodred pounds less
than those carried from Tallulah
Falls Railway stations on carloads
and less. I11 addition to the com¬
modities carried in the tarilT I
would ask that you add pumpkins.
I would think the correct rate on
pumpkins > should be around 15/'
per hundred pounds, straight car¬
loads, as this would put it on the
basis betv^een the commodity rates
obtaining on watermelons and
sweet potatoes. In working out
this rate please add, if you can, to
points of destination, Havana,
Cuba, as several wholesale concerns
in Atlanta have stated to me that
they could do quite a business at
this point if a satisfactory rate is in
effect. I think the minimum on
straight carloads should be 20,000
pounds. I urn not sure if tlie rate
on mixed vegetables should not be
on this basis if this could be work¬
ed out.
Yours very truly,
W. T. Moore,
