Don't neglect to drop a few seeds OF

Now is a good time to plan changes
in the border and the flower garden, as
one can see the mistakes made in
planting the tall growers in front OF

PRETTY GRAPE HATS
DESIGNERS HAVE DONE THEIR

Really Lovely Effects Produced for
Those Who Favor That Material

Millinery.

A few seasons ago there began to
be touches of white used in the body

beauty of this fabric was thrown into
prominence by this combination and
it has been making a steady progress
in the consideration of designs ever
since
During the last three seasons en-
tire hats of white Grape, or hats OF
white with some black Grape intro,
duced. have been featured in all dis
plays OF fine mourning headwear.
Lovely effects have been wrought
out in this fabIic. Flowers and fol.
iage made Of 1t are exquisite. The
finest examples OF mourning hats
either in black or white are decorated
with ornaments made of Grape. These
work-room made ornaments are the
delight of the designers OF mourning
hats because effects are possible in
Grape which cannot be obtained with
other fabrics

as to color and we may expect to see

The shapes now in vogue. rather
small and along conservative lines,
give a wide choice to the maker OF
Grape hats. The models shown are
fair samples OF turbans which one
may see developed in all-white Grape,
all black or in black and white com
bined in varying proportions.
Besides white, pale gray and blue,
lavender tones promise to add furth-
er variety to our mourning headwear.
These colors are shown in the new

BREED TESTS FOR
BEEF IN GEORGIA.
Nj. p. Jarnagin, Professor, Animal
Husbandry.

Query--What is the College of Ag-
riculture doing to demonstrate the
value of crossing pure bred sires with
the common Georgia COW?
Some very interesting experiments
have been conducted by mating ordi-
nary cows with pure bred Hereford
bull with remarkable results within
a generation, the first progeny being
a good beef producing animal, and the
second still better.
Plans have been worked out where
by the tests will be enlarged to four
leading breeds, the Hereford, Angus,
Short Horn and Red Polls. The CO.
operation of the Bureau Of Animal
Industry Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has been obtain
ed, which will greatly assist in the
work. Sixty COWS will be bred to
the four leading types of bulls and
the evolution Of the Georgia piny
woods type into better beef producing
types will be thoroughly demonstrate
ed. The experiments will, however.
only show what can be done in the
absence of the cattle tick.

BY STAFF OF GA. STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE
Georgia Farmers Heavy Losers
BY Wrong Use of Fertilizers
President Andrew M. souIe.

What kind of fertilizer must 1
use?" is the ever-increasing cry of
the Georgia farmers. The College
is receiving a food of such inquiries,
but the College cannot undertake to
make soil analyses for individual cit
liens, the appropriation for soil sur
vey provides only that a general sur
vey of types of soil be made and that
experiments be conducted on these
various types. We have studied the
qualities of a number of the type
soils and have test plats now estab-
lished on some fourteen or fifteen
acres scattered throughout the state.
From these test plats We are secur-
ing data that will be of great value
to the farmers of Georgia. We hope
to obtain an increased appropriation
for this kind of work and. extend
the scope of the survey very materi-
ally.

CLEANUP DAY IN DAWSON SOON TO Be DESIGNATED
NOTABLE COURT DECISIONS.
Mr.. A. p. Rives Sees in Them Better
Things for Georgia.

Editor Dawson News: Some nota-
bic things have happened in court de-
cisions recently. The decision of the
appellate court in the Register case
! from Colquitt county marks the end
of ''railroading' menslayers to free
! dom by charging juries from the
bench only on the offense of murder,
when a charge on the different de-
grees of homicide, which until the
past few years was done, would
have resulted in finding for a lower
degree of homicide. This decision
also emphasizes the right of the jury
to be acquainted with and be guided
by the common law, where the court
fails to charge as he should. The
second most notable happening was
the swiftness of the punishment in
misdemeanor case in the city court
of Nashville, Berrien county. which
emphasized the right and the need
for such courts by its prompt and
significant action in this case. For
fear that the case has escaped the
| average readers mind l will give the
salient points: A mans child had
been whipped by a teacher for infrac-
ton of school discipline; the parent
took his pistol, went to the school
! house and attempted to attack the
teacher, but fear of the teacher pro-
vented him doing more than draw
ing his weapno. The trustees took a
| warrant for the offender the same
day and the next day the man was
arraigned in the city court. By advice
of counsel he pleaded guilty and was
fined $3.50. 1t is safe to say that
school discipline will not be inter
fered with in Berrien county any
more soon. Other counties of which
! | know could follow suit to the bet
terment of their schools, for teacf
! children that school law may be de-
1 fed and they get the idea that all law
may be. and men are but children of
/ larger growth. The conviction by
the United States senate of Judge
Archibald and his disfranchisement
shows an easier way as well as
more Impressive way of dealing with
Judges who are recreant to their
oaths than the Roosevelt way Of
the recall of judges for deciding ac-
cordinG to law but against popular
clamor; at the same time the ratt-
fcation of the income tax amendment
to the United States contribution
shows that when the people, in their
sovereign capacity as states, decide
that It is necessary TO change the
organic law they will NO so. Very
truly, ANDREW +. RIVES.

the crusade against them was be-
gun. But the day of the loiterers is
passing, so far as Dawson is con-
cerned, for the officers intend to
drive them in and make cases
against them. And unless they can
show a legitimate reason why they
are not at work they will be given
employment on the streets.
For the last few weeks the way
of the tiger" has been hard here,
as is evidenced by the number of
them that are in the city chaingang
as a result of dispensing ''red-eye, -
and in the future strenuous efforts
will be kept up to catch all who are
in Dawson.
Another form of law-breaking that
goes on, say the police, is gambling
of various kinds, ranging from the
penny skin game participated in by
the extreme mourning" type up to
the first-class poker 'set in where
good fellows have met for an even
ing's enjoyment, and these, too, it is
said, will be included in a general
cleaning up that is scheduled to take
p1ace.

and the last rites were spoken by
Rev. White of PARROT, assisted in
prayer by brother w. L. Johnston
Mrs. Hardwick was nearly 80 years
old, and was one of our most highly
respected ladies. She Joined the Meth
odist church when a girl. She leaves
four daughters and two sons to
mourn her death.
The famous mudholes near Mount
Olive church have been sanded by
the people, and are in much better
condition now. The work was look
ed after by Mr.. Will Goss and other
neighbors, and we think the commu-
nifty is due them credit.
Our people are well up with their
work, and corn planting will soon
be the chief feature. The old red
hills have all been broken with two
horse plows.

EVERYBODY WILL BE EXPECTED
TO HELP IMPROVE SANITARY
CONDITION OF THE CITY.

The annual spring cleanup" day
in Dawson, for which the Woman's
Club deserves the credit, will be des-
ignated at an early date. 1t will prob
ably be the latter part of March, and
as usual the city authorities and res
dents generally will cooperate in
identifying and making Dawson
more healthful.
Dawson is one of the prettiest lit
tie cities in the country, and it should
be the pleasure of everyone to keep
it in such condition as will entitle it
to bear this name for all time.
Keep Trash OFF Street.
There are many small things that
NAV be done to make the city attract
i've. and which, if left undone, pre-
vent it from being as much so as it
would. A little thoughtfulness on
the part of the people about throw
ing waste paper and trash on the
sidewalks and streets would go a
long way in this direction. This is
only one suggestion. There are
many other things that could be done
that would aid the sanitary officers
in keeping the city in clean and at
tractive condition.
Especially in the early spring
should people put their premises in
clean, healthy condition Prompt &C
ton on their part, as well as the city
authorities, will go long ways in
preserving the health of the city.
Tree Planting Day.
Tree planting day has not been
given up by the Woman's Club. Cir
cumstances have not been favorable
for the consummation of plans as
yet, but the day will be observed as
soon as practicable. Announcement
of the date will be made through
The News.

+ In every possible way at its COM
mand, the College is ready to tell the
farmers of Georgia wherein their
soils are deficient and what formula
of fertilizer to apply to secure the
best crop yields. Until the farmers
of Georgia know what their soils con
tain naturally, and what form OF fer
tilizer to use to supply existing de-
iciency, they will continue to spend
much money inadvisedly and without
securing the results to which they are
entitled.
Ordinarily it is hardly necessary
to more than determine the nitrogen
phosphorus, potash, lime and >the
acidity of the soil Private analysis
by a competent chemist costs from
$40 to SIS depending upon the num-
her of elements determined in Civ
en- soil.
