Hesitation

Hesitations" is the title Of a new
book. 1t is n great word these days.
for it means that truth is mighty hard
to get at and that while reaching out
FOR tone. hesitates. Who heaitates
IS lost" may sometimes apply. but
not in every day experience, where
most OF the hesitation fs done In the
interest of truth, says the Ohio State
Journal. When one IS called upon to
make n judgment he is seldom sur
rounded by enough truth to be sure
of his conclusion. Therefore he hes
itates.
Men who do not hesitate are people
who have positive convictions to
start with. They do not reason them
selves into their belief. but trust to
their Intuition or garnered emotions.
Emerson said. '.leroism feels and
never reasons, and therefore Is al

it is not always 50. Circumstances
often peryert intuitions. but when not
perverted they are more certain Of
the truth than the fact is. The au-
thor OF the book applies his doctrine
to politics and tells how things might
have been otherwise, if decisive action
were taken. 1t would be more inter
esting to know what that Otherwise"

DECATUR CROPS NOT
SERIOUSLY DAMAGED

cambridge, Ca, QUALIFICATION
that was covered with water as the
result of floods will of course die and
there will be other damage to the
crops, but still Decatur county will
have a splendid crop year in spite of
the calamity. Tobacco is much bet
ter than was thought for. In fact most
of the crop was in barns when the
rain began and the constant burning
of coal kept it in good shape. One
man consumed solid car load in his
ten barns in four days. The quality
and size of the leaf surpasses anything
in the past and fancy prices are ex-
peeted. Corn escaped almost unhurt
and cotton will be better than was
hoped for. Hay flourished during the
wet weather and sweet potatoes will
yield abundantly On whole Decatur
county will have a splendid crop year.
after all.

WAY FOR FARMERS
TO RETRIEVE LOSSES

Athens, Ca, July 1.-THE recent
flood conditions in southern sections
of Georgia have turned the attention
of tn farmers to meetin losses that
are likely to occur at any time from
freshets DR.. Andrew M. Soule, pres
ident of the Georgia State College of
Agriculture, seen in his office today.
gave statement tending to aid the
farmers in meeting post-flood condi-
tions. He said:
Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived at the Georgia State College of
| Agriculture in regard to what crops
can be planted on soils where the
crops have been destroyed by the re-
cent floods.
Farmers should not be discouraged
by the existing situations but should
hasten to replant flooded areas at
once. There is ample time yet if good
judgment and energy are used to
make full crop of hay or forage,and
in some instances grain as well.
Scotsman will no doubt be glad to
place rush orders for the special stocks
of seed needed
Zone of the best crops suitable for
seeding this late in the year is fox
tail millet. There are several varieties
of this millet Common foxtail, Ger
man, Hungarian and. Serbian all do
we'll in this section. Two pecks per
acre is the rate of seeding most gener-
ally used.
another good forage crop is
mixture of early Amber sorghum and
an early maturing variety of cow peas
such as whipperwill; twenty pounds
of sorghum and three pecks of peas
make an admirable mixture.
"a number of early, maturing va
rieties of soy beans can be used to adj
vantage as hay crop. Asme, ltosan
yellow, Hollybrook and Wilson are ex-
cellent varities for late seeding, For
broadcast seeding from one to one
and on-half bushels of seed per acre
is recommended.
"Someof the quick maturing varities
of corn such as are grown farther
north will probably have time to ma
ture in most sections. Hickory King
is an excellent variety.
1.-TWO truck crops that can be grown
to advantage on many. of these soils
turnips and late Irish potatoes. The
turnips can be utilized either as a
truck crop, if suitable market can be
found, or they can be used for cattle
and hogs. Late Irish potatoes are Of
ten profitable crops, and as rule
ready market can be found for them"
