TT IS a strange and curious fact that
i many really well-intentioned people
have a wonderful capacity for eternally
saying the wrong thing and getting them
selves into endless trouble through lack
OF the due exercise of a little kindly tact
Poor souls, this habit OF putting their
foot In it, has become chronic and after
time they really don't know whether
they are hurting other peoples feelings
or not.
The woman who possesses the kindest
heart In the world and who would be
utterly miserable were she to adequately
realize the extent of her blunders Is
often and quite unwittingly most tactless
"oh, my dear" she will exclalm efruslvely
and with very well-meant sincerity
when greeting some woman acquaintance,
II am so very. very pleased to see youl
But do you know, I would have hardly
recognized you? For you have grown SO
dreadfuly thin and haggard! What have
you being doing to yourself7 You have
lost all your pretty color and look years
older"
These remarks can scarcely come under
the category of tactfulness, and are very
far from being conducive of a pleasant
atmosphere. For no woman under the
sun likes to be assured of the passing of
the years, nor does she like to have it
borne in upon her that her beauty is
neeting affair. And yet the tactless
woman does all this, and without in the
least realizing the enormity of the crime.
Then when her friend shows symptoms
of chillness in manner, the tactless
mill hAan M W
manifest symptoms of disapproval.
IL can't think how 1t Is that so many
OF my old friends don't come to see me
any more she will announce in injured
tones, probably to her long-suffering hus-
band, who knows the reason only too
her 80. "I don't have nearly so many
friends as used to have!"
The reason of this lies in the growth of
the tactless habit. For tactlessness is
never static, 1t must either increase or
decrease. and unfortunately 1t generally
exhibits the former tendency. Hence,
after n certain point the habit has pro-
gressed so far that II has become posi-
lively unpleasant. And few people will
stand that sort of thing for long.
We are all familiar with the candid
friend as she loves to style herself my
dear, l always say just what Think
she proudly declares, as'if that were the
hallmark of a fine character instead of
merely being the outward ana Vlslple
sign of very self-centred and rather
cold hearted disposition. II never say
thing just because it sounds pleasant, or
because it's going to please the other
person. or because it's the obvious thing
to say under the circumstances. No. in
deedl believe in being candid and
sincere"
But If the good lady only knew it,
there Is nothing in the least to rejoice
over In this mental attitude. For rude

Substituting Phosphate
Rock for PhOsphoric Acid
John f. Fain, Professor OF Agronomy,
Georgia State College Of
Agriculture

On account of the high price of
phosphate acid, dealers are pushing
rock phosphate as substitute at this
time. The farmer must not be misled
into believing that the ground phos-
phate rock will become Immediately
available like the acid in the produc-
ton of crops.
The rock phosphate will give better
results on the second crop than on
the first one, and, better still, on the
third than on the second. 1t is the
policy on the farm of the College of
Agriculture to apply the ground phos-
Dhate rock every three years.
Rock phosphate will prove disap-
pointing on many soils of this state
if it is not applied with barnyard ma
nure or with green cover crops turned
under To get the best results from
ground phosphate rock, it is necessary
that the soil contain considerable or
ganic matter. In this respect, the
soils Of Georgia are quite deficient.
hence the necessity of applying the
ground phosphate with barnyard ma
nure or green manures. The ground
sock can be scattered over the ma
nure as it accommodates each day, or if
green manuting is to be used, it can
&c broadcasted on the field before the
crop is turned uader.

CAMPAIGN FOR BETTER
LIVESTOCK IN GEORGIA
Andrew NJ Souie, President, Georgia
Safe College OF Agriculture

On November %, an exhibit of pure
bred livestock and home grown food
SUITS was started from the Georgia
State College of Agriculture to travel
over the state, to make about 200
stops and reach vast number of
farmers. In this campaign the Col
lege of Agriculture has been Joined
by the United States Department. of
Agriculture and the Railroads having
lines in the state.
Announcements have been made
public of the exhibiting places. Those
who have yet the opportunity of Wis
ting the exhibits and hearing the ex.
pePts On the subject of livestock rails
ing in Georgia, should make sure of
using it.
The purebred and registered live
stock will consist Of Jersey, TIolstein
dairy CATTLE short horn and Hereford
beef cattle, Percheron horses, duroc,
tam worth and berkshire hogs. These
have been taken from the College
farm for this tour of the state. They
are TO tell their story of what a pure.
bred animal is. The speakers will tell
OF the Importance of Introducing such
animals into the foundation of the
livestock industry Of this state. Lit
eratuTc will be distributed which has
been put cut especially for this cam
paign.
The homegrown food stuff exhibit
presents in striking and pointed way
what Georgia grows or can grow for
the feeding of livestock. This is a part
of the College exhibit at the State
Fair and has many important lessons
for the Georgia farmer.
Without growing more livestock
Georgia can make no perman ent ad.
vancement in agriculture A certain
amount of livestock is necessary to the
economical operation of any system of
agriculture. No other means of con-
serving soil fertility is Comparable
with that of feeding farm crops and
returning manure to the land. Live
stock, however, can be improbable
when the wrong methods of feeding
are practiced or when high priced feed
is given to poor grade cattle. 1t is,
Therefore, very essential to get good
quality Of stock and then know what
is the best homegrown ration.
To help farmers buy at low cost,
the College and its co-workers pro-
pose to help the farmers buy pure
bred animals on A co-ODerafiUo basis
assuring the lowest possible cost and
at the same time the best grade of
animal for the money.
This campaign has as its end in
view the welfare of the farmer, moth
ing else. If you are in sympathy with
such a movement lend it your pres
ence and encouragement, if possible
