To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers Union of Georgia:
On May the first and second there
will be held state meeting of the
Farmers Union of Georgia in At
lanta, Ga, in the state capital. l am
assured of large delegations from all
sections of the state already, and ]

members as possible to be present
In addition to the members, | extend
a most cordial invitation to all farm
ers and business men of this state,
who are i'll sympathy with the Farm
er's Union, to attend
Just at present we have some Sc
rious questions before the people to
be solved. One of the most impor,
tant questions before us is that of
working out marketing system for
the farmers of Georgia. We have been
studying production and scientific
farming for many years. This has
met with great success and | hope
this good work will go on-in fact,
it must-but the time has come when
the farmer must work out a system
that will give him profits as we'll as
products from his farm.
Since we are confronted with the
boil weevil in Georgia and have had
to substitute other crops for the cot
ton crop, therefore the question of
marketing has become more import
ant than eHer before. 1t will be nee
essary to have an adequate system
III order to dispose. of our products
at reasonable prices.
Arrangements are now being made
with some of Che foremost agricul-
tural authorities and experts in prep
aration of the program OF speakers
which will be announced lated.
We want the opinion of our mem
bers and farmers on this and OTHER
questions and you are hereby called
to meet on the above date at the
above place at 10 a. m.
Reduced railroad fares have already
been secured Do not fail to have a
good representation from your local.

SMALL TOWNS OF GEORGIA
MAKE LIBERAL DONATIONS

Atlanta, Ga, April 12.-While the
big cities like Atlanta, Macon, Angus
ia, Savannah, etc, are. doing their
share toward raising the fund of five
hundred thousand dollars for which
the Baptists of the state are now cam
paigning, the smaller Baptist con-
gregations in the towns and rural sec
lions have responded with even great
er liberality.
The Baptists of Dublin have sub
scribed $4,000, those of Woodville
have subscribed ST 500, and from five
small country churches there has been
secured an average subscription of
So0O each, thus proving beyond any
doubt that the small Baptist congre-
cations can be relied upon to con-
tribute their full share toward paying
off the Indebtedness of Mercer Uni
versity at Macon, Bessie Tiff College
at Forsyth and the Georgia Baptist
Hospital in. Atlanta, which is the pur-
pose of the campaign.
so confident are c. ]. Hood, OF
Commerce. general chairman of the
executive committee. and his asso-
crates, that it has been determined to
eNpend no part of the paid subscrip-
tons until the full amount not only
has been subscribed but actually col
lected.

HOME GARDEN HINTS

Practically all truck crops do bet
ter on sandy loan soil than on one
that is sticky and heavy. Larger-sized
crops, however, such as cabbage, to-
matoes, beans, and peas, will do we'll
on heavy soil provided it contains the
necessary vegetable matter.
The soil in most backyard gardens
is distinctly heavy. 1t will help the
soil greatly if the owner works into it
good amount of finely sifted coal
ashes free from all cinders. Coal
ashes are used largely for the physi-
cal effect in breaking up a compact,
heavy soil. Such ashes do not take
the place of fertilizer.
Plentiful use of wc,i-rotted manure
is still more beneficial in breaking up
heavy soil because this improves the
texture and adds fertilizing material.
Many garden soils are sour To off
set acldity and also to improve the
physical properties of the soil the
garden specialists recommend the use
OF lime. Burnt lime should be applied
at the rate of 1000 pounds to the acre
or slaked lime at the rate of about L.
SUI pounds per acre. A garden plot
80 by 100 feet iS approximately one
ninth of an acre
TO apply the lime, broadcast it and
mix it freely with the surface soil by
narrowing or raking. Lime should be
applied before the crops are set out or
planted and should not be applied at
the same time that fertilizer or ma
nure is.
Manure will greatly improve land.
If well-rotted manure IS not available,
it may be advisable to use complete
chemical fertilizer Apply at the rate
of 800 to 1000 pounds per acre a mix
ture containing 2 to 4 per cent nitro
gen, per cent phosphoric acid, and
l to per cent potash. The amateur
gardener will find it easier to use
ready-miXed fertilizer, which can be
obtained from any reliable dealer.
Sunlight Necessary for Garden
No amount of fertilizer, water, and
cultivation will make up for the alb
sence of sunlight in garden
Home gardeners before attempting
for the first time to use a back .yard
or other space should consider care
fully how many hours day ali Part
OF the yard is in shadow from build
lngs, fences, or trees 1t least five
hours of sunlight Gay is necessary
for a successful garden. The more
sunlight they get the better it is for
most vegetables. For this reason it
is bad practice to put plants OF low
habit between tall-growing plants
which will shade them sor the greater
part of the day. AS rule, foliage
crops such as lettuce, spinach, and
kale do fairly we'll in partial shade,
but even these must have sunshine
two or three hours Gay. In laying
out the garden, therefore, use shadier
parts for such plants and reserve the
sunny spaces for those which must
have plenty of sunlight to grow and
fruit properly.
