Money Market Easier.
A distinct easing I'D in the money
market was the leading feature Of the
weeks financial situation. In New
York, break in the S per cent rate
for call loans occurred, most loans
being reduced to and per cent
bases. Locally the effect was also
felt in involuntary reductions by coun-
try banks and the city institutions that
have been charging over per cent
to 6 and 6A per cent. Some of the
city banks have adhered all along to
the & per cent rate. Greater freedom
in shifting loans was also in evidence.
Many local brokers are anxious for
the Ne" York Stock Exchange to re.
open. They favor the plan for a re-
sumption OF trading, at least on a cash
basis.
The banks had an active week. The
country was in the market for loans,
and local industrial and commercial
houses were also negotiating loans.
pepositing and checking was heavy

respect.

TWO NEW CROPS
FOR THE SOUTH

The first lesson in farming Is how
to keep out of the grocery store.
There is no mental health or finan-
cial prosperity in working hard all
the year and handing out at the end
OF the crop year to pay for supplies,
as advanced, the net cash results OF
the years labor. There are two crops
that seemingly were made especially
to head of conditions as above.
Strange to say, II is doubtful II one
in a hundred OF Georgia farmers have
used both OF these crops for the pur-
pose as indicated. Southern agricul-
lures information about beardless
barley and popcorn forage is of a
truth the most hazy. But these facts
d. no lessen the Importance and value
OF said crops.
Beardless barley is a safe feeding
proposition, and in every way is quite
a different plant from the bearded.
1t can be sown in August and cut in
October in time for fall grains For
spring sowing the present time is the
proper period. Planted now. 1t Will
rlpen in June or before. II can be
used for three purposes: II makes
fine grazing, or when cut in the bloom
II makes fine hay, or for forage, If
planted now. 1t can be cut three times
up to an early June date. 1t ripens
far earlier than the bearded, is cas-
fly handled and fed to stock as
hay.
Popcorn is usually thought Of as
only popping proposition, but 1t is.
however, one OF the very best combi-
nation spring forages known. 1t is
much earlier than other corns for
forage, and is usually planted in three
or four foot rows. about six inches
in the row, several grains to the
hill. In June It is full grown, and has
an abundance Of ears of corn In the
milk. 1t is marvellous to know the
amount OF forage that such a field
planted in popcorn will make.

PLANTING TIME FOR
HEFARMER IS HERE

horticulture Is now inseparably AMI
lated with Georgia and the rest OF the
Southern States. The educational ia
cilities of the South for instructing
the younger generation OF farmers are
the best in the world. and State, uni
versity and Federal bureaus have
spread the knowledge OF needed ref
ormation along this line.
Bureaus Spread knowledge.
These bureaus have made experts
Of Southern farmers; also they have
aroused in the city jewellers the de-
sire to move to locations where small
backyard gardens, flower plats and
the like can be fostered and made
successful. The innate love in the
breast OF everyone TO cultivate the
soil and raise some sort of product,
whether vegetables, farm plants or
flowers, has made these bureaus
popular necessity.
Now is the time to tell your trouble
to tho seed man. IL you are a gar
dener, give him description of your
garden. or II you are a farmer. tell
him or write him what kind of land
you have, and he will assist you with
expert and valuable advice. The anna
teur should hasten to faniliarize
himself with his soil In which he Is
about to SOW his seeds, and to set
about fertilizing IL, 50 that it will be
perfect for raising the innumerable
plants which abound In the warm
Southern CLINE. Experienced garden
ers will tell him that this knowledge
will soon become intuition after a lit
tie experimentation It is not I'M
pleasant, they say, and not drudgery
TO keep II always in condition; Just
little time each day and a sprinkling
OF enthusiasm is all that is needed.
The principal ingredient for success
As care. Watch for the young plants
as they rear their heads in the deep
universal. wonderful movement OF
termination, and see that obnoxious
weeds do not crowd them 10 death.
The reward will come to the gar
dener when he or she sees the back
yard covered with beautiful flowers
or an appetizing mass of green edi-
blea.

Building Of Motors
Tedious, Says Daniel

There are no short outs to sue
cess IN the automobile business any
more than there are IN gaining knowl-
edge. Both come by application and
hard work. In business you can not
accomplish the miraculous IN short
period. II takes time and money.
Experiments must be made Tests
must be made. Metals must be tried
and divers other things done. From
the time drawings are started in the
engineering department, It takes. as
q rule, year before a car as ready
to be placed on the market. II 10 a
herculean sob. The process Is slow
and careful. Each step is proven be-
fore proceeding. There must not be
a single flaw anywhere. The mechan-
icai part must be a harmonious unit
The chassis must be true There must
be a division of weight. There must
be a true mechanical relationship be-
tween each unit, otherwise, one part
may cause trouble.

Substitution OF years course in
practical training at some agricul-
tural college instead of annual trips
to washington for the young price
winners OF the corn, canning, poultry
and other agricultural clubs was the
recommendation of the Department
Of Agriculture recently. In the event
that the young champions academic
training would not enable him to en-
ter the state Agricultural College, the
department suggests elementary
courses in institutions teaching less
advanced instruction. Officials be-
lIeve that such courses would have
more lasting value to the winners
and agriculture in their sections than
flying trips to the National Capital.
