Mrs. Amor Predicts
Future Of Prohibition
VIII Be Rather Rosy

Asserting the belief that within two
years the United States will be ''bone
dry" through a prohibition amendment
to the federal constitution, Mrs. Mary
Harris Armor, field secretary of the
Georgia branch of the W. c. T. L., proph-
esied the glorious future of prohibition,
both as an instrument of warfare against
the liquor traffic and as a political party,
in an address at Trinity Methodist
church Tuesday night.
Mrs. Armor told her hearers that she
believed the liquor traffic, unless check
ed, would destroy the country, and then
she expressed the belief that national
prohibition would decrease the death
rate almost so per cent. She cited what
she termed the folly Of spending mil
lions of dollars to fight tuberculosis
while whisky, the greatest single factor
in it's advance. was allowed to flourish
unchecked.
Mrs. Armor told her audience to wire
their congressman and senators to sup
port the bill which Seantor Hoke Smith,
in the senate. and William Schley How
ard, in the house, are supporting to
bring about a cessation of whisky ship
ments into prohibition states.
After Mrs. Armor had spoken, e. L.
Martin introduced resolutions, which
were passed, to send to Senator Smith
and Mr.. Howard the thanks of the local
temperance organization for their stand
for prohibition.

effort which has been made to have this

folly another year. a fact which Is d be

as being worth an average OF $3.50 per

TO be worth that much for beef. hut
unfortunately they are not That our

against any loss due 70 a reduction in
cotton acreage. This then would be
simple solution OF the whole problem.

whether II is a practical undertaking

ton reveals the fact that Georgia can

Wood ashes unleached contain about
to per cent of potash and l to 2 per
cent phosphoric acid. When they have
been leached they contain from 1 to 8
per cent potash and 1 to 1 1-2 per cent
phosphoric acid. Ashes vary material
" according to the kind Of trees from
which they are derived and the char
acter OF the soil on which the trees
grow. 1t is difficult to say, however,
just what plant food might be secured
from q ton of ashes until a specific an
alysis of them has been made. We
should think good oak and hickory
ashes. however. would be worth so
cents per ton provided one does not
have to haul them too far. They should
be applied before heavy rains fall,
which might otherwise leach them and
cause the loss Of the greater part OF
the potash.
II would be good practice to apply
ashes If possible 10 a growing crop.
They can be broadcasted over cereals
and narrowed into, the soil. Use at the
rate OF SOD to 1000 pounds per acre. We
would not attempt to mix ashes with
other fertilizers, as one could not APP
ply a sufficient amount per acre with
satisfaction in this manner. Wood
ashes contain potash in the form of
carbonate which makes it very read
lily available. They also contain some
lime. There is no reason why wood
ashes should not be applied to land in
tended for cotton or other farm crops
which are likely to be benefit by the use
OF fertilizer containing potash. Owing
to the present high price and scarcity
OF potash one would Of course secure
The best results from the use of ashes

INFORMATION ABOUT PEANUT Gull.
TIVATION

IlAATlON.
]. b. w, Montrose, Ga. writes. Kindly
give me some information on the raising
or peanuts for the market.
Peanuts can be cultivated with adj
vantage and profit at the present time.
Peanuts are now commanding a rela-
lively high price for crushing by the
oil mills, for the production of oil and
for the manufacture of peanut meal OF
course, one can not tell how long the
present high prices will continue, but
there should be very good profit in
growing peanuts at rs cents and up
ward per bushel of thirty pounds The
variety generally cultivated for milling
purposes is the White Spanish peanuts.
You should, of course. ascertain before
undertaking to grow them in your COM
munity whether there will be a demand
from the oil mills. Even If they do not
care to use any for crushing then you
should grow them with the idea of graz
ing down with hogs. You can probably
secure return of S25 to $50 per acre
from growing them in this way. Much
depends on the character of crop you
grow and the skill with which you have
the land hogged down. Eight hundred
pounds of pork may be made from an
acre of peanuts and as long as pork
brings cents per pound, the farmer
may count on getting the equivalent of
so cents per bushel for his peanuts.
Peanuts will yield probably about 40
bushels per acre on the average. On
good land they will do better than this.
In some instances the yield may fall be-
low forty bushels. At rs cents per
bushel this would make a return of $50
per acre. The cost OF producing the
nuts will vary from l to cents per
bushel, depending on the scale on which
they are grown and the skill with which
they are hogged down. OF course, where
the nuts are hogged down, the cost OF
harvesting which is a considerable item
of expense. is saved.

Facts

Can Explanation by Charles j.
schumann OF the Portland Mausoeum
Coz
The higher nations advance in civ
ilization and increase in wealth and
greatness the stronger is the attach
ment to life and the greater reluctance
to think of ones death and final rest
ing place The vOtaries of pleasure re-
fuse To consider their mortality;
wealth and contentment seldom go in
to the house Of mourning; and men
enjoying success and prosperity new
er mediate among the tombs or visit
with reverential feeling places Of sep
ulture. All burial customs form a
grewsOme subject for discussion.
1t Is the belief that If the modern
Mausoleum mitigates, in the slight
est degree, the sadness which attends
the burial ceremony the people can
not know it too soon.
History furnishes abundant evil
dence that science has seemingly per-
formed miracles for the benefit Of
the living; vet 1t has scarcely lifted
hand until the last few years in be-
half Of the dead The methods of
burial in every land have undergone
practically no change In twenty cen
turtes a brutal custom has decreed
that the remains Of departed friends
must rest until the final awakening
in a bleak and often neglected ceme-
terry, with the cold wet ground for a
bed. 1t is true that wealth can Sc
cure beautiful caske,s and ornamental
monuments Of artistic designs, but in
the final analysis, the last resting
place Of pomp and poverty is essen
TALLY the same--a mud-draped grave.
There is no doubt, however, but
that the American people are awaken
ing to the necessity Of a radical change
in the custom of burial, and that the
modern Mausoleum, perfected and
built to stand the rayages Of ages, has
everything to commend it.
