Lawn and Lawn Grass
Upon no one thing does so much
depend in making beautiful home
grounds as upon a god lawn. The
lawn is the foundation upon
L which you build your picture. Af
ter the buildings and the prelim
nary grading are completed comes
the smoothing up and preparation
of the soil for the grass carpet
or "groundwork" of the home pic
ture, without which no picture,
whethet on canvas or maue of
living p'ant growth, is complete.
The or, -ration 'id Foil arc
■ the main factors upo i which you
build a lawn. There are two gen
£-al methods of mak° c the lawn,
py seeding and by sodding
If much grading is reqquired
If much grading is required
remove top soil and pile to one
side. Then level and fill with sub
soil. After all grading is com
pleted distribute top soil on
ground adding much soil if land
is poor in humus. Haul in sev
eral loads of manure and harrow.
An ideal soil is one that is mod
erately moist and containing a
considerable amount of clay. A
tendency toward compactness is
beter than a light loaoe sandy
soil. A strong clay loam or san
dv loam underlaid by a clay sub
soil is our nearest approval to an
ideal soil for lawns.
For renervating old lawns, plow
Idep at least 15 inches an det rest
a while, hen cover with several
wagon loads of manure. Cut to
pieces with disk harrow mix well
,and thoroughly pulverize, as depe
soil holds and collects more mois
ture. If the soil is too light haul
in several loads of clay after soil
has ben plowed before putting
xi manure. Hauling in wod dirt
almost as necessary . Remove
1 urplus clods and trash. Rake
off and prepare a fine seed bed.
sow. grass seed on smothe sur
face and roll with heavy roller to
nserv^ moisture.
Seed may be sown either in
spring or fall. Blue grass is an
exeelent variety for shady lawns
^rffca^^r^ffl^
•Blue grass in August or. Sep
tember. Water if dry and continue
uto water at intervals until ground
v 'is thoroughly wet from rain. Rye
grass makes good winter lawns.
Bermuda is the foundation plant
ing for lawns, in this section. .It
is a hard grass, spreads rapidly
and soon covres the lawn. White
clover is not quite so desirable as
other lawn grass but may be used
alone or mixed with other gras
es. Red clover is seen on large
estates. For qquick results use
Italian Rye grass. .
Plant from one and one-half to [
; bushels seed per acre. When
sowing make off lawns in strips
. ve or six feet wide and sow one
bushel per acre between strips,
hen check and sow the other bu
shel of seed.
If possible sod. It is more ex
pensive but better results are se
curetd from sodding than from
seeding.
Block sod to be secured and cut
ia straight line down in order to
secure sod of even width. Block
off seed bed with even strips and
place sod in even rows equal dis
tance apart. If necesstry water
sod before digging to hold in ev
en blocks.
Use dirt as binder, Place the
sod, water and press down. In a
short while an even lawn will be
secured.

the country as the result of the

them to save rather than to spend,
but only taste and morals can teach
them spending. And when they

THE MIDDLE GEORGIAN
I the leading cmegese as reference
and text books. The volume of
sales of these books in the United
States, as well as in France, was
highly encouraging to Mr. Wat
son during his lifetime, it was
stated, and caused him to cno
tinue producing other historical
works,, such as Life and Times
of Thomas Jefferson, Bethany, a
story of the Old South, Waterloo,
Life and Times of Andrew Jack
son, a story of the South and
West,, and the Last Campaign of
Napoleon, the latter never hav
ing been published as it was com
pleted just before his death in
Washington in September, 1922.
As a candidate at. one time for
president of the United States,
and at another time candidate for
vice president, Mr. Watson made
a deep impression in every section
of the country by his oratorical
ability and intellectual powers.
As the originator of rural free
.delivery of .mQiU~.ha-.was known,
in the most isolated parts of' the
country. Mis constructive? work
in both the House and Senate at
Washington, together with his
literary writings, rriade him a
national figure. • ^A ^
Big Executive's Plan
The frie^d^n't of one of the larg
est public utilities corporations In
the country,, who began as an un
derclerk, frankly admits that his
organization makes a practice of
paying beginners a little less than
they are worth. Why? Because
they can speed the new man up by
a raise a short while after he has
joined the concern and they know
he's a comer. That insures loyalty
to the corporation and keeps men
on their toes. And it breeds the de
sire to get another raise.—Paul

WHAT GEORGIA NEED,
FOR GEORGIA'S DEVROPEMENT
When one stops, reflects, anal
yzes and compares the marvelous'
progress that is being made in
Georgia, there sems reason fro
the past decade, we have ben con
fronted with innumerable obsta
cles, but they have ben, or are
being, finally overcome.
We have had our many set
backs, panaceas have ben offered
for our ailmnets. At the proper
time, proper remedy has ben ap
.plied, to the end that Georgia is
steadily forging ahead. Our eco
nomic position is sound, both in
dustrially and agriculturally.
Georgia, probably, was never bet
ter fortified financially than she
is today. There appears to be
ample monies to take care of any
emergencies that might arise.
This was never better illustrated
than at the recent meting in At
lanta when a group of bankers
from over the state met with Mr.
Eugene Meyer, in conference, for
the purpose of relieving the dis
tress frmo over-production of cot
tbn.
Industrial and agricultpral pro
duction are at high tide, the em
ployment situation is satisfacto
ry, labor is well paid and con
tended.
Eastern and northern capital
are awakening to the innumerable
opportunities offered them in
Georgia for sound investment and
to meet this influx of capital for
industrial developent, the powre
companies are making great
strides in expading facilities fro
electrical energy.
Georgia now has a developed
horse-power of over 375,000 and a
potential horse-power of, possibly
three-quarter million. This, link
ed up with the super-power sys
tem of the southeast, affords the
manufacturers an ample supply
of electrical energy, at reasonable
rates. The power companies are
to be commended fro their inter
est in rural electrification.
In looking back over the twelve
year period, 1924 to the present
—what do we find—a large in,
crease in spindles, there being in
operation on July 31st, of the
present year 170 cotton mills with

Ition hda Cached 997,942 bales.
foThjs .indicates that our mills are
reaching the point of cotton con
sumed almost equal to the state's
production.
Oil mills have increased their
invested capital over ten million
dollars; fertilizer plants over six
million dolars; cl@y products
plants over eight milion dolars;
marble and granite quarries ovre
twelve milion dolars; electric pow
er and light plants in excess of
one hundred million dolars.
In 1924 we were expending fro
highways approximately four
million dolars per annum, while
there is now being expended over
fiften million dolars annually on
road building.
Agricultural
Tremendous progres has ben
made with diversification of crops
as exhibited by recent figures
through the columns of "The
Week." It would be di cult to
estimate the actual increase in
dollars and cents from the effects
of soil building nd the increased
production through the planting
of leguminous crops. The idea
has taken firm hoid in Georgia
that economic liberty to the far
mres can only be achieved thro
ugh intensive cultivation and fer
tilization, thereby insuring in
creased production per acre.
Thousands of acres are being
devoted to pasturage, alfalfa and
poultry is on a more stable bas
is than it has ever been. The
farmers have learned, through
sad experience, that there is no
relief from financial strain with
a one-crop system; that the only
avenue to financial gain is thru
a balanced farming program, rais
ing their sod requiremnets, sup
plying Icoal demands and raising

SOIL SURVEY OF
TWIGGS FINISHED

tant Spite Geologist, who has
been conducting a survey of the
clay resources of Twiggs Coun
ty, has completed his work and
is moving to Macon to work Bibb
and th? upper end of Twiggs
Counties.
,MMr Smith states that the de
posits of kaolin and refractory
clay in the county are mainly con
fined .to four districts; an area
on the/Goi don and Irwinton roads
near, she Wilkinson County line
containing refractory clay!; the
east'ef Fitzpatrick containing

these districts will eventually be
worked,, those nearest the rail
road standing the best chance of
early development.
According to Mr. Smith fullers
earth deposits are found at many
places in the county, but the de
posits around Pikes Peak are
thickest and are of superior quali
