Georgia Tech May
Become Co-Ed
College Soon
Georgia Tech, the state’s only
remaining all-male collegiate in
stitution, may go co-ed if a pro
posal to the Georgia board of .
regents is acted upon favorably.|
The Georgia Federation of j
Business and Professional Worn- !
en’s Clubs requested the regents/
to open the school to women stu
dents and Chancellor Raymond
R. Paty, the regent’s education
committee and Tech officials
have taken the matter under ad
visement. It is believed that if
the regents approve, there is '
nothing in Georgia law to pro
hibit the move.
The educators are also study-,
ing another important change
in the collegiate system of Geor
gia which would abolish the use
of regional names for the vari- |
ous senior and junior institu-i
tions in the university system. ■
If this proposal is approved, j
such colleges as the Middle Geor
gia College, Georgia Southwest
ern, etc., would be retitled ac
cording to the city or county
where they are located.

515.000 SCHOOL BUILDING

be floated by a tax levy the first I
year of 26 cents on the hun-;
dred of taxable property, and
that the same will decrease each
year thereafter as SSOO of prin
cipal of bonds is retired, until
the last year only one bond of
SSOO with the interest for one
year will be due, which can be
retired by a tax levy of approxi
mately 10 cents on the hundred.

House and Home
Unless we understand that
food is just as essential to the
garden as it is to the gardener
both will soon show the effects
of malnutrition or insufficient
■ supplies. Since the soil must sup
ply this food to plants it is of
I paramount importance for the
gardene rto know what the par
ticular soil in his garden needs.
Soils may be sandy or clayey,
gravelly or peaty, sweet or sour,
rich or poor, in wide variation
of physical and chemical char
acteristics, to which the eye af
fords but little clue. Without a
soil test the gardener is unable
to tell what sort of soil he has
and how best to build and main
tain its health and productivity.
Accordingly, whether your gar
den is being established for the
first time or an old plot is to be
replanted, it’s a good idea to
have a soil test made. You can
do this yourself if you want to
invest in a testing kit or you can
send a sample of your soil to
your state agricultural experi
ment station, asking for the
analysis and recommendations.
If you send to the experiment!
station, trowelfuls of soil should
be taken from several parts of,
the garden, all of them mixed
together, so as to form an aver
age of the whole, and about a
pint of this taken for the sample.
The results of the analysis will
usually show that certain soil
amendments are needed, such as
lime which primarily corrects
acidity and also supplies cal
cium; or major plant food ele
ments, of which nitrogen is the
chief and also the most likely to
have been used up, leached out
or otherwise dissipated. These
nutrients may be conveniently
added to the average garden in
the form of inorganic commer
cial fertilizers. What may also
be required, especially in gar
dens which have been worked
for several seasons, is organic
material to improve the physi
cal structure of the soil. A rec
ommendation on this point is
apt to call for manure and set
the gardener a problem unless
he lives on a farm where this
fertilizer is easily available.
The building of a compost
heap and the growing of a cover
crop are simple and practicable
steps for the gardener to take if
barnyard manure is not abtain
able.
Choose a shaded spot for a
compost heap because moisture
is essential to the bacterial ac
tion which goes on it. Dig a shal
low pit about five feet wide and
a foot deep, its length will de
pend on the amount of material
likely to be available. Begin with
a layer of heavy trash such as
old stalks of cabbage, corn
stalks, or sunflowers, smashed
roughly. Over this spread a lay
er of good top soil three or four
inches deep, and shake over it
commercial fertilizer or the com
post powder which is sold for the
purpose. On this throw old
plants {provided they are not
diseased), weeds (provided they
are not bearing mature seeds),
grass clippings, kitchen garbage
—anything of organic matter
that will decay quickly. Dust
with fertilizer as the hole is fill
ing up, cover with top soil and
continue with 12-inch layers of
fertilized waste to three-inch
layers of soil until the heap is
several feet high. Top with soil,
make a hollow in the center to
holr rain.
