GROSS Editor Subscription Rates 12 Months $1 50 6 Monti 8 -75 In Advance Governiot Talmadge Deserves Cooperation Governor Talmadge is asking this legislature to give him thi State’s purse strings. His cam paign promises were that he could run the Staton the pre sent revenue, which he will do provided he has full luanigrment of its finances. If he is barn strung be will be powerless to function, but the mandate givei him in the last piimary was conclusive that the people were perfectly satisfied to give him what he asked for. He made it clear in toe beginning that hi would need the coopei ation r.ec' essary to this end. He should have this, which we believe h< ■will get. If hindered in his efforts to get the proper cooperation, it leaves us as at the end of the present year. It is time for some concrete action on the part of all in authority. The people of the State want to see something accomplished and believe that we have a Chief Executive at the State Capitol that can do that very thing. He is honest wit' the people, as he has asked that in reducing the State’s expenses he also includes bis own salat y as Governor. BOND ELECTION NOTICE GEORGlA,—Wheeler County.

Then he should plant those varieties best suited to his partic ular needs. If earliness is his principal in terest, he should select either Boun tiful (green-podded) or Ferry’s Golden Wax (yellow). Bountiful, besides being about as early as any other bean, is excellent for use when small, in shoe-string size. Bountiful is also a good choice for the gardener growing for home canning, for it produces abundantly. The gardener interested in yield over a long season should select both a bush bean, like Bountiful or Ferry's Golden Wax, and a pole bean. The pole beans begin produc ing when the yield from the bush beans tapers off. Kentucky Wonder is one of the best all-purpose pole beans. It pro vides good quality snap beans. When past the snap stage the pods may be cut up and cooked southern style. Later, Kentucky Wonder may be used in the green shell stage. In the more mature stage the beans (or seeds) may be used in baking or in soup. For such a wide range of use, the white-seeded Kentucky Wopder (Burger’s Green Pod Stringless), also white-seeded, may prove more satisfactory than the regular brown seeded variety. The dark colored seeds produce less attractive dishes when cooked long or when in soups. Save Money And Get Comfortable Shaves With ^ls ^tßiaae At Price I Thin Gillettes Safe f7 1 guard Your Shi^ l !

WHEEI ER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, GA.. FEBY. 1, 1941 Hints to Ga?derers by 'Barry A. Joy Flower Expert Ferry Seed Station Quick Gardens FIR the beginning gardener who wants quick results or for the new home owner who needs outdoor decoration quickly, the lists of an nual flowers offer speedy and effec tive aid. A highly satisfactory and highly economical hedge, for instance, can be grown in six or eight weeks from seed. Kochia is the plant in ques tion. A single packet of Kochia seed will provide a fuli, bushy hedge along the front or side of a yard. If a flowering hedge is pre ferred, the colorful and dependable Four O’clock will prodtice attrac tively within two months after seed is planted. For screening along an alley or unsightly vacant lot, Sunflowers or Castor Beans will spring into sturdy growth in a few weeks. Glowing borders of flowers that beautify the yard and at the same time provide a steady flow of cut flowers for the housewife may be enjoyed the first summer of oc cupancy in a new home. The fastest growing and most dependable an nuals for cutting include the Zin nias, Marigolds, Bachelor Buttons, and Petunias. These flowers are mentioned in the plural form, for there are tall, medium, and short varieties of each which may be employed to plant a border which places taller varieties at the back and the low-growing, smaller ones in front. Neat little edgings along the front of flower borders or along walks and driveways may also be had —solidly decked in blossom— within six or eight weeks after planting seed. Alyssum (Carpet of Snow) is one of the most depend able edging favorites. And there need be no delay in having the new cottage or home vine-covered. Several of the most popular annual vines grow so vigor ously that they can be twining themselves around second-story window shutters by mid-summer if planted in the spring. Most widely-used of these fast growing annual vines is Heavenly Blue Morning Glory, whose giant, soft-blue flowers are in a class by themselves. It is well to scratch the coat of Heavenly Blue seeds before planting them to speed their other wise slow germination. Hints to Gardeners by Gordon JUorrieon Vegetable Expert Ferry Seed Station Handling Herbs HERBS may easily be worked into the home garden program be cause they require comparatively little space. A plot about four by six feet will be large enough for average needs. Herbs should have full sunlight and good loamy soil. Some, princi pally rosemary and marjoram, have attractive growth. They should be located in the herb plot where they will show to advantage. Almost all popular herbs —balm, basil, borage, fennel, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, sage, anise, dill, and caraway—may either be used when young and fresh, or prepared for use dried. To prepare balm, basil, borage, sage, savory, fennel, thyme, and marjoram for later use, cut them in the young stage and dry slowly in a dustless, airy room. They may be tied in bunches and hung head downward, or suspended in large, loosely-tied paper bags. It is ad visable to label the bags, for some herbs look alike when dried. If seed of anise, dill, caraway, or fennel are to be prepared for use dried, cut seed heads with short stems as soon as they begin to ripen. Dry in the shade on thin cheese cloth or muslin and store in a dry, airy place in* covered con tainers. Seeds should be washed and dried before they are used. Anise, basil, borage, dill, and savory are annuals; caraway and fennel are biennials; and balm, marjoram, sage, rosemary, thyme, and chives are perennials, although balm and marjoram are best treated as annuals. All the herbs discussed here will probably produce enough growth for use the first year, how ever, if seeds are planted early and climate is normally temperate. 7o Relieve P D Misery of LiJL/ 0 6x» LIQUID 6 6 T ^-i s NOSE DROPS COUGH DROPS Try “Rub-My -Tlsm” a Wonderfu Liniment.
