THE BAPTIST DEBT PAYING
CAMPAIGN MOVES SLOWLY

Eleven churches in the Friendship
association hove subscribed every
cent they were asked for. and several
of this number went beyond the
amount asked for. All praise to them.
They are as follows: Leslie, Rev. G.

Pleasant HILL H, r. E. Tooke; Shiloh,

Friendship, H. D. Warnock; DeSoto,

Seven have already taken up the
work, but have not as yet finished
raising their apportionment The
amount apportioned and the churches
are as follows: Andersonville, $672
Bronwood, $110; County Line, $50;
Dawson, $500; Ebenezer, $36; Ellaville,
$1O6; Oglethorpe, $500. We hope to
hear at an early date that these
churches have completed their task.
If any of the remaining "a churches

eczema quickly by applying little zemo

usually every trace of eczema, letter,
pimples, rash, blackheads and similar
skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. 1t is not
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat

0RCHARDIsTS SHOULD
CROW COVER CROPS
OF NITROGEN In THE
GROUND HELPS SWELL NEXT
YEARS CROP TREES SHOULD
BE SPRAYED IN SPRING.

One of the most important prac
tees in orchard management is the
growing of cover crop under the
trees during the winter. This cover
crop helps to cut down the nitrogen bill
If winter growing Eegumes are used

prevents washing in our billy sec.
tons, says Prof. Mediation of the
Georgia State College.
If we can do SO, it will be well to have
hairy vetch as part of this cover crop
To go along with the vetch we should
have either oats, rye or wheat. 1t
takes about bushel of grain seed
and twenty pounds of hairy vetch to
SOW an acre. Where used, the hairy
vetch seed should be inoculated be-
fore planting.
In North Georgia the cover crop
should be sown about the last of
September to the first of October. In
Central Georgia it should be sown by
the 18th of October. In South Geor.
gia it may be sown as late as the
last of October Or first of November.
Where orchards are on rolling land,
it is we'll to sow this cover crop with
an open-furrow drill. The open fur.
rows not only protect the grain, but
are great help in keeping the land
from washing until the young grain
can become we'll established. The
value Of cover crop in an orchard
cannot be estimated, as we have no
way of knowing the monetary value
of organic matter in the land. We
know, however it greatly improves
the soil and will help us to make a
crop of good fruit the following sea-

If the above mentioned seed cannot
be obtained for sowing the cover
crop, it would be a good plan to SOW
something under the rees,-turnips.
rape, or anything that will grow
through the winter, so that when
blowing time comes in the spring
there will be something to turn
under.

the state marketing bureau. The

17,424
The last report of the Florida de-
partment of Agriculture shows a total
of about 1000 acres. If this maximum
was reached on the basis of 17,424
cabbage to the acrea, the total pro-
duetion of the state was 44,S4S, 900

short of this number, but it shows

may be depended upon, if properly

with a dairy conformation have no

they may make fairly good gains,

Between hope and despair the man

after the play had been produced would
he dare to ask the one question which
trembled constantly upon his lips when
she was near? For the play was so
palpably not her own, enlarged, built
upon In every way to be made posi-

ever forgive him2 And at last came
the eventful night Of its production.
