REGULARS OR ADDICKsITEs

Since the Union Republicans abso-
lutely refused to entertain a PROPOSE
tion for common primaries-or. rather,
since John Edward AddiclSs refused to
allow them TO enter into common pri-
maries-the Regular Republican COM
mittee has taken the only course con-
sistent and proper II has adopted a
resolution to the effect that all candi-
dates who place their names before the
voters at the Regular Republican pri-
maries must rely upon those primaries
alone, and not be candidates before the
primaries Of two parties.
No candidate can find fault with this
provision. man has no right to ask
for the support Of the voters of a party
unless he is in full sympathy with it,
and when he seeks support from am
other organization it is pretty nearly
conclusive that he is willing to subor-
dinate his principles to success. This
win make it necessary for candidates
to place themselves on record, and will
prevent lodging and -shallying in
which we have for years been develop
ing experts.
In defiance of the wishes of his
party. AddiclSs has forced upon it the
policy of slaughter The Regular Re-
publicans must do nothing to prevent
the Union Republicans from reapine
the fruits of their policy. If this city
is again thrown TO the Democrats and
we shall have another Fahey admins
tration. Addicks must have the full
credit. Every candidate who loves his
principles more than he does am Office
will be glad of the opportunity o
making his sentiments plain and OF
showing just where he stands.

Profit in Willows.

The willow has been used, since the
earliest ages, for baskets and other
manufactures requiring pliability and
tenacity. 1t was first known in
Western Asia and Southern Europe,
but its adaptability to different con-
ditions of climate and soil have taken
it at the present time to almost every
part of the world. Reports of this crop
have been received from 164 farms in
the states of New York. Kentucky.
Maryland, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Wisconsin, ranking in the order
named. The total area reported was
521 acres. and the total value of the
product $S6,52S, an average per acre
of 5000. In New York seventy-six
farms had an area of 366 acres and a
value of $22,495. This area was 1912
per cent of the total acreage and the
value GIG per cent. of the total value
1t hardly can be said to have more
than fairly started, however, even in
the Eastern States, but there is little
doubt that capital will be drawn to it
as one affording exceptional promise
of good returns, and that many acres
of what is now practically profitless
land will be brought into remunerative
use. The manufacturers of baskets,
hampers, chairs and other articles
have found a strong and increasing
demand which they have not yet been
able to satisfy. There is little fear
that sawed wood and split wood bask-
cts. commonly used for shipping
fruits. can take the place of the strong
light and durable willow baskets.

Soil for Plant. in Pots.

One of the overcoming questions
that novices in Horticulture ask is
about potting-soil. In his Home
Horticulture" Mr.. ReXford gives the
following as the best general purpose
soil he has ever used: One part of or
binary garden loan; one part of turfy
matter scraped from the lower part of
sods, containing all the fine grass
roots possible to secure with it; one
part of well-rotted manure and sand,
half and half. If leaf-mold can be OBJ
tanned, it can be used instead of the
turf-scrapings. We hear a great deal
about its superiority over the other
light and spongy soils, but. there is
really but very little difference between
it and turfy SOIL since both are COM
posed largely of vegetable matter. In
one case the leaves decay, and fur
nish food for plant growth rot, and
supply nutriment. Leaf-mold gives
more immediate effects, because it is
already decayed, while turf soil must
have time in which to decay before it
is fully available.

The infection of poor roads is a
burden in more than one way, says
the American Cultivator. 1t prevents
1t shuts the farmer away from the
markets and other city advantages at
certain times of the year. 1t inter-
feres with pleasure travel, the mail
service, and it tends to keep away the
best classes of visitors and intending
residents.
These losses are hard to get at close
ly in dollars and cents, but the effect
of poor roads on cost of hauling farm
produce may be estimated more di
rectly. In his address at the Ken
lucky Commercial Convention, G. A.
Durham reckons on the basis of a
road ten miles long, over which the
farmers of fifty square miles take their
produce to the town and shipping sta
ton
Counting four farms to the square
mile, such a territory would embrace
200 farms of 100 acres each. In some
sections there would be smaller farms
and more of them. The average dis
lance Travelled by each of these farm
ers in going from home to the rail-
road station and return. many of them
living two or three miles at either
side of the supposed main road would
certainly not fall under twelve and
a half miles. An average of two round
trips per day would give twenty-five
miles as days journey, which is
certainly more than loaded team can
perform over a bad road
Let us suppose" said Mr.. Durham,
that the farmers of this territory
will produce a surplus for market. av-
eraging each farmer to have 100 BUSH
els of wheat, fifty barrels of corn. five
tons of hay and five tons of misce-
laneous products. Counting that the
average team can draw over the aver
age bad roads loads of 1000 pounds.
we will find that this territory will
produce for market 1920 wagon loads
of wheat, 1850 wagon loads of corn,
1000 wagon loads of hay, 1000 wagon
loads of miscellaneous products, MAX
ing in all 1850 wagon loads. Then
if it is possible to make two round
trips per day as an average for this
territory, it will require a driver with
a span of horses and a wagon 2,475
days to move these surplus products
to the railroad station. Counting the
cost of the driver. wagon and team
at $3.50 per day, the cost Of transport
ing these products will amount in the
aggregate to $6.1S715.

nented), juice of lemon, and one heap
ing tablespoonful of gelatine, dissolved
in boiling water; freeze quickly; and
add beaten white of one egg just before

MECCA OF POLITICIANS.

A prominent politician of the state,
passing through Augusta, said that Ty-
bee had been the Mecca of Georgia
politicians the past season. He said
he was there week before last, intend
ing to spend merely day, but that
the crowds so attracted him, and the
maneuvres of the politicians were so
interesting that he prolonged his stay
to three days. On the occasion of
which he speaks, he says that there
were fully 5000 visitors at Tybee. They
were there from all parts of Georgia,
and particularly from Southern, South
western and Western Georgia. Many
of the state politicians caught the cue,
he said, and hied themselves thither.
Candidates and prospective candidates
were there, and they were mixing with
the crowds with a hearty John B. Cor
don shake. This particular chronicler
himself a politician of no mean pre-
tension, whose acquaintance extends to
every portion of the state-Says he met
no les sthan one thousand people he
knew, and they were from all parts of
the state.

FARM,


Just as every county in Georgia
should have its own canning establish
ment, so it should have its broom fac
tory-one or more of both, according to
the needs of each particular county, as
size and population may warrant
Every broom used in Georgia should
be made in Georgia. 1t is one of the
small industries that should soon find
its place with us.
Any soil that will produce profitable
crops of corn or sugar cane or grain
can be made to produce profitable
crops of broom corn.
It requires, to be sure, somewhat
nicer management than some of our
crNlIk1 but no more so than rice or
sorghum and a few Others.
In a small way we have grown as fine
broom brush as has ever been grown
in the best broom corn regions of the
Northwest. We found that all that
was necessary was to use good seed
of the best variety and SOW 1t on
clean land, when the soil had warmed
up so that termination would follow in
a weeks time. 1t is a crop that must
not be allowed to get grassy or weedy
at ALL The plants must come up in
clean soil and the cultivation must be
so arranged that no grass or weeds
are allowed to make any appearance
These must be killed before they come
up.
The time TO plant in Middle Georgia
is the first week in April. Rows should
be four feet apart and enough seeds
used to insure a plant every twelve
inches in the row. 1t will pay to use
care in sowing seeds, so that no two
seeds will fall close together, if pos
sible If the seeds fall in clumps the
work of thinning to a stand is greatly
increased, and it will be very tedious
work.
If the working is prompt the crop
will require very little cultivation, not
more than sweet potatoes. At the
proper time the heads should be bent
down, and a little later should be cut
and put under shelter On good soil a
second crop of heads is produced from
the old stalks, especially if cultivated
once or twice. At this last cultivating
it is a good plan to sow peas in the
middles.
crops, being about as hard on the soil
as sorghum grown for syrup
Of course, there is not much induce
ment for growing broom corn without
factory near to hand to convert the
product into brooms. If farmers could
so cooperate that they would estab-
fish, or cause to be esta blished, a fac
tory, which is not expensive, and then
grow the broom corn to furnish it ma
terial it could be made a profitable in
vestment for those engaged in it that
is, II managed IN a business-like way.
factory cannot be established until
1t is assured of material to keep it 60
ing. Neither can farmers undertake to
grow the material until there is a fac
tory to work it up. The spirit of CO.
operation needs to be developed among
farmers in order to secure the proper
development of certain small industries
that are much needed in our state This
one of broom corn is only one of sew
eral that is counting the attention of
progressive farmers.
