play in order to learn the dras
matic out come,

marry the first stray girl who
.catches his tancy and put her to
the expense of hiring a man for
the farm. She plans to scare the
girl off, but in doing s 0 lands
hersely into unforseen difficulties

of Chief Justice and Mrs. Rich

Reaping Flower Profits
FL()WER grewing by the amateur
" gardener is a pastime which
pays excellent dividends. Growers
bhave found that by picking annual
flowers often and regularly they !
actually incrcase the total yield
from the garden over the length of
‘he geason.
This is true of annuals because
they have but one season in which
to produce sced and they keep con
stantly at the job of bearing flowers
until adverse weather conditions
call a halt. Two healthy, 20-foot
rows of zinnia will provide fresh
bouquets regularly from early
spring until mid-summer, if new
blooms are picked every -three or
four days.
Regular picking is not the sole
means of increasing bloom, of
course. Ixperience has shown that
more abundant flowering may be
induced by decreasing the amount
and frequency of watering just as
the flowers come into bloom.
The term “picking flowers” is
used here in a general sense, mean
ing gathering or reaping, In the
exact sense of the word, most flow
ers should not be picked .or
plucked, They should be cut—with
a sharp knife, never with scissors.
There are a few exceptions.
Sweet peas, pansies, violas and
nasturtinms may be picked, Sweet
peas should be broken from the
plant where the flower stem springs
from between the arms of the axil
or “Y”, With the other three, fol
low the stem as near to the base
of the plant as posgible, and break
it off.
When using a knife in gathering
flowers, make a diagonal cut., This
enables the flowers to take up
water better and live longer indoors.

| Tenant Farmers Apply
| For Farm Purchase Loans
| More than 4,000 Georgia ten=
ant farmers made application for
the 180 farm purchase loans
|available in this state under terms
|of the Bankhead-Jones Farm
Tenant Act.
R. L. Vansant, state director
of the Farm Security Adminis
stration, said in Atbens, this
week that 4,327 tenants, shares
croppers, and farm laborers in
the 85 counties designated for
the program made formal aps
plication for loans, while 2,657
others made inguiries of farm
supervisors but failed to file thei
applications by January 15, the
closing date. :
He said wide~spread interest
was evidenced in the tenant
purchase program all over the
state. Nearly 10,000 tenant farms
ers in the remaining 124 noaos
participating counties contacted
rehabilitation supervisors and
Kxtension Service county agents
in regard to applying for a loan,
despite the fact that their couns
y:es had vot been designated for
ithe program.
“While limited funds forced
us to confine the program this
year to 356 Georgia counties,” Mr.
Vansantdeclared, ‘‘we anticipate
an increased appropriation for
vhe next fiscal year, which, we
nelieve, will allow us to make
tenant purchase loans in addis
rional counties.”’
Georgia received $635,003 of
shis year’s ten millionsdollar als
otment for farm purchase loans
in the nation as a whole.
