Conner & Masten, Iessees of the Can
non Screen Company plant, who are
located at 225 Hill street, are manu-
facturers of the Cannon Automatic
Screen Windows and Doors, also are
in the general wood work and dressing
lumber business. This firm is now do
ing a big business and at this time is
one. of the busiest plants in Americas.
Not only do they do work FOR Ameri-
Gus and this section, but contract and
ship work all over the state and out
side the state. They received a letter
recently from q salesman who former
iy sold the Cannon screen, in which he
stated that he had never yet seen a
screen that had the adjustable features
of this screen, and that he had sold
both metal and wood frame screens.
The letter spoke very highly of their
screens.
Conner & Masten have a good force of
workmen employed and are receiving a
good patronage in their line of work.
They not only put out good work, but
guarantee every piece that leaves their
factory.

hearts among them; also free from
scab. They are the best to keep, heavy
ylelders, are mealy and the very best of
table potatoes.
One of the principal reasons why
people should plant this potato extens-
iyely is because they can be cultivated
at time when labor is usually plenti-
full, and not much else to do on the
farm. Furthermore, their keeping
quality is another reason why you
should plant them and you are never
! bothered with the dreaded bugs with
this crop as they do not propagate dur
! il g the cool nights of September and
October.
If the following instructions are
carried out you can easily produce
from 100 to 200 bushels per acre on
good land. The proper way to plant
and cultivate them, for instance; after
grain crops have been harvested the
stubble land is ideal for growing these
potatoes. The ground should be first
roughly broken with 2 to 4-inch
scooter, narrowed thoroughly with a
disk harrow, and few days after this
ground should be turned deep with a
.t~o-horse ploy; narrowed thoroughly
and either rolled or dragged, Every !
to days weeder or peg-toothed har-
row should be run over the ground to
keep it open and moisture circulating
in the seed land Any time after the
9TH of July to the goth of August for
middle and south Georgia is the proper
time to plant as it requires about 80
days for them to mature.
W. ]. Josey has limited amount of
these potatoes On hand, put in your
order to be il time.
