PLANTING FOR HOME SUPPLIES
Andrew M. Soule President Georgia State College of
Agriculture.

A garden in Georgia can be made
to provide from one to five kinds Of
vegetables for table use for every day
In the year. The surplus of almost
all OF these crops can be dried or
canned for winter use. Thus the cost
OF feeding the family can be greatly
lessened and much greater variety
given in the dietary.
The farmer should next direct his at
tention to providing such food as is
necessary for the maintenance, first Of
his work stock, then of his COWS and
such other cattle beasts as he may
maintain, and for his hogs and poul-
try. Two ideas should be kept in
mind in planting areas for these pur-
poses. First, provision should be
made for an abundance of hay and
green feed and for suitable amount
Of supplemental grain. The wide
awake farmer who planted cereals
last fall will have enough oats and
other grain to supplement the corn he
may produce this summer. 1t Is de-
sirable that each head of work stock
be provided with 100 bushels of corn
or ~ equivalent. If fifty bushels Of
oats have been grown for each head
The leader-enterprise. [volume] (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1912-1915, 1915-10-06

of live stock, then only fifty bushels
OF corn would be required. Figuring
the corn to yield on the basis of TWEEN
ty-eight bushels to the acre, 2 IL to
acres of corn should be grown for
each head of live stock. Remember
that the cornstalks if harvested will
provide good food for both horses
and cattle.
AS to hay, that from cowpeas, cow
peas and millet or cowpeas and sor-
ghum cannot be excelled under aver
age conditions prevailing in Georgia.
OF course, excellent hay can be made
from cutting oats in the dough stage.
For COWS an abundance Of clean
roughage should be provided Corn
stalks, sorghum fodder, cowpeas and
millet, soy beans or any other forage
crop can be used to advantage with
this class of animals. While a little
corn can be fed to some advantage to
the few milk COWS maintained on the
average farm, we are disposed to
think that the cotton seed should be
exchanged for meal and fed to this
class Of animals, and that this prac-
tice will nearly always be found of
advantage to the farmer,

How Much Potash Is
Needed In FertiIizing Crops?

John r. Fain. Professor OF Agronomy,
Ga. State College OF Agriculture.
Tests have been conducted for
three years on various sell types of
Georgia, which shed some light on
the potash requirements Of various
crops. Where potash alone was used
as a fertilizer, no results were OBJ
tanned from corn and oats, but cotton
showed gain Of from so to 103
pounds of seed cotton per acre. These
tests were made in both north and
south Georgia.
In the experiments 100 pounds of
potash were used per acre. Where
potash was used in combination with
other fertilizer elements, it gave bet
ter results, but not enough to pay
for its application except for cot
ton.
Fifteen different areas scattered
over the state were used in making
these tests, and as many different
kinds of soils were used as possible
to make the results of general appli-
cability to the state.

1t was in New York, or, rather, New

first American appearance in some

DESTINY.

1t is a proverbial saying that ev-
cry one makes his own destiny, and
this is usually interpreted that every
one by his wise or unwise conduct
prepares good or evil for himself.
But we may also understand it that
whatever it be that he receives
from the hand Of Providence he
may so accommodate himself to it
that he will find his lot good for
him.-William Won Humboldt.

One OF Our Citizens Killed By
An Auto.

Mr.. Montgomery Harris, son of Mrs.
John II. Harris, 35 years old. clerk in
the mercantile establishment of Vim. W.
Welsh. of this town, was instantly killed
Wednesday night on Bethesda hill, on the
Georgetown pike, by the overturning of an
automobile owned and operated by DR.. X.
c. Warfield, a well-known dentist of this
town. DR.. Warield, it is believed, is in
jured internally. He was taken to the
Georgetown University Hospital in the
automobile of W. C. Dove, of the j. Maury
Dove Coal Company, who was running his
machine from Rockville to Washington.
The body of Harris was carried to the same
hospital in an automobile of the George
town Automobile Hiring Company by C.
F. Brown, who had taken a bridal party
to Rockville early in the evening and was
returning to Washington city with the
party after the wedding.
Just how the accident happened DIR.
Warfield was in no condition to explain.
Brown said he was taking advantage of
a good road at the point where he dscov-
cred the accident. In the field, some dis
lance from the road, he said, he saw
pair of electric lights of what he thought
was an automobile, burning. Stopping his
machine, he said, he went into the field
and found machine turned turtle. and
the gasoline leaking from the tank.
Close investigation. Brown said, showed
that there was at least one live man under
the machine. This proved to be DIR. War
field, who was released in an unconscious
condition. The wreck might have taken
fire any instant from the large quantity of
gasoline that flooded the machine. The
doctor was taken from the wreck just as
the machine of W. C. Dove came up. He
was asked to look after the injured man,
and carried him to the hospital.
A close search of the wreck by Brown
then showed that there was man dead
under the machine. The body was re-
leased and placed in Brown s machine, and
carried to the hospital. 1t was not iden-
titled until an hour later, identity being
established by means of papers in the
mans pockets.

Importance OF Healthy Kidneys.

Rockville Readers Should Learn to Keep
the Kidneys Well.
The kidneys have big work to do. All
the blood in the body is coursing through
the kidneys constantly to be freed of poi
sonous matter, 1t is heavy enough task
when the kidneys are well, but cold. chill,
fever or some thoughtless exposure is likely
to irritate, inilame and congest the kidneys
and interrupt the purifying work.
Then the aching frequently begins. and
is often accompanied by some irreeularity
of the urine-too frequent passages, sedi-
ment or retention. Thousands testify to the
wonderful merit of D0an Kidney Pills, a
remedy for the kidneys only, that has been
used in kidney troubles fifty years. You
will make no mistake in following this adj
vice. 1t comes from a resident of this
locality:
