MANURE WHEAT'IN WINTER
In order to aid the growth of"
Hie crop and thus save some
spring fertilizers and to prevent
lo sos of manure through ex
posure the Ohio station recom
mends winter manuring for
wheat. For twenty-three years
at the utlon eight tons of ma
nure applied directly to wheat
before ; edlug have produced un
annual increase of 12.d bushels
in this crop alone. A reasonable
proportion of this increase mny
be creeled even when the ma
nure is applied during the win
ter, while subsequent crops will
show like Increases.
Experiments at Wooster show
(lint a ton of manure spread di
rectly from the stable to the
Held is worth 75 cents more than
a ton left In an open barnyard
for three winter months and
then applied. Ollier experiments
have shown that a ton of fresh
manure treated with forty
pounds of acid phosphate and
spread Immediately Is worth
nearly r.O more than a ton of
untreated immure loft in an open
barnyard from .Itintiary to April.
In Loving Memory
of giand mother M. A. Stone,
wife of G. M. Stone, who depart
ed this life March 24, 1917, and
was laid to rest, at Sharon ceme
tery March 25, 1917. Rev. R.H.
Uhompson conducted the luneral
per vice.
She was torn Feb. 24, 1856,
and was sixty years and one
month old when the Lord saw fit
to call her from this world of
1 ain. Giandmother leaves a hus
larwi, four sons and four daught
ers and fifteen giand children
and a host of relatives and
friends to mourn her loss.
£: he was always ready to speak a
kind word for all whom she met.
llut it was God’s will to take her
from this world of sorrow and
we pray that we can live in this
world so we can meet her in
heaven, where all is peace and
happiness and no farewell tears
are shed.
It is sad to think that we can
not see her sweet smiling face
again, nor hear her tender voice,
but it is sweet to think if we will
live as we ought to we can meet
in heaven.
Words cannot tell how sad our
hearts are and how lonely it is to
go to grand father’s house and
can’t see grand mother there and
can see that vacant chair.
She has paid the debt we all
have to pay. The Lord has car
ried her to that heavenly home
of rest, not made with hands.
Her sufferings are all over and
we feel sure she is enjoying the
sweetness of heaven and singing
the sweet songs of Zion.
We loved her, 0 so good, but
angels loved her more and car
ried her home to rest. She was
loved by all who knew her and
always had a smile for all whom
she met.
.V precious one from us h;us gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place il vacant in the home
That never can be filled.
Peaceful in the grave so low,
Thou art waiting for theilear ones here,
We will join her in the heavenly land,
No more to take the parting hand.

grand daughter,

DIXIE CATTLEMEN HOLD
MEET IN ATLANTA
Many Of The Foremost Men Connected
With the Cattle Industry Meet
In Annual Convention
Atlanta-
Stock raising In the South, in all its
recently acquired Importance, will ho
represented in Atlanta when .the fifth
annual convention <>£ the Southern Cat
tle Men’s Association met in this city,
April 5 and 6.
If f’ rmer conventions of the asso
ciation are to be used as a basis for
calculations, there should bo over a
thousand stockmen and farmer:; in At
lanta during the term of t e conven
tion. Beginning with an attendance
of 250 at the first "meeting in Mem
phis in 1913, there has been a grad
ual crescendo of interest through the
conventions at Meridian, Birmingham
and Shreveport, unlil now the united
interests and endeavors of Southern
cattlemen are represented at the year
ly meetings.
Many of the foremost men coupect
ed with the Industry were present to
stimulate the movement and advance
it with suggestion and advice.
Tiie association comprises many of
the leading stock raisers, promoters of
agricultural interests and educators of
the Southern states. Railroad men,
financiers and men from every depart
ment of commercial life which touches
the raising of cattle are involved in
the proceedings. Every possible ef
fort is being made by the various
branches of commercial activity to
promote this vital industry south of the
Mason and Dixon line.
Troops Guard Pumping Stations
Upon orders from the department of
ihe east Companies A and L of the
Fifib regiment, Georgia National
Guard, were detailed to guard the city
pumping stations at the Chattahoochee
river and at Hemphill avenue.
Company A is stationed at the river
a.rid Company L is at the Hemphill
avenue staLion.
The guard at each station, it is ex
pected, will be increased to a battal
ion each.
The guard was placed at the two
pumping stations, it is learned, not
because there is any suspicion of dam
age planned upon either station, but
simply as a safeguard against any
possible menace to the city's water
supply.
The guard is to be increased, it is
understood, largely for the purpose of
getting the men out of camped quar
ters in the armory.
The first battalion will go to the
river station, while the third battalion
will go to the Hemphill avenue sta
tion.
School At Capitol
Following the organization in Atlan
ta of the Georgia division of the Na
tional League for Woman’s Service, the
agricultural committee of the Georgia
division will conduct an agricultural
school in the stale senate chamber at
the capitol. >
This school will last for a period of
six weeks or longer.
The object of the school will be to
encourage gardening and farming, in
both the city and the country, in the
present crisis which faces the United
States, with a view of fully developing
the agricultural resources of the state,
upon the full development of which the
state must largely depend in the event
of war or preparation for war. Lec
tures will be delivered by leading au
thorities in the state upon gardening,
block raising, poultry raising, sheep
raising and, in fact, every branch of
agriculture. Every effort will be made
to make the school of the greatest
practical value and questions and in
quiries upon any point pertaining lo
agriculture or gardening will be wel
comed.

somf> one to attend to the wants of
the 411 interned German sailors at
Fort McPherson, it was announced by
the fort commander that Paymaster
Lossau of the Teuton crew would be
permitted to leave his place of intern
ment and come to Atlanta whenever
the occasion demanded.
He will be acccompanied by a mem
ber of the United States Seventeenth
infantry, six companies of which are
guarding the detained sailors. The
paymasters will be garbed in civilian
attire while down town.
106 Hampshire Hogs Given Away
What is believed to be the begin
ning of anew era in the south Georgia
farming industry opened at Fitzgerald,
when the farmers of that section re
ceived absolutely free 106 thorough
bred Hampshire hogs. The First Na
tional bank of Fitzgerald distributed
among the farmers of the section 50
pairs cf porkers and the local news
paper gave six pigs to six of the rural
schools of the county.
The only condition attached is that
three of each first litter of pigs be
returned to the donor for redistribu
tion.
Governor To Make Digest Of Dry Act
Governor Harris, in conference
with Attorney General Cliff Walker,
is making a thorough study of the new
"bone dry” prohibition law with the
view of writing a sort of digest of
the act, showing exactly what the act
will permit and what it will prohibit.

review to the press for publicati n as
soon as he has completed it.
