of manure or woods mold. Alfalfa
requires a heavy application of lime
before seeding and the same is prob
ably true for red clover. Peanuts
are benefited by lining, but this
does not usually obtain for our COM
mon Southern legumes: Cowpeass
velvet beans, crimson clover, and
hairy vetch; these are our main clo-
yer substitutes. Wheat may be in-
proved by lining, but this is not gen.
orally true for cotton, corn, and
many of the truck crops. Legumes
are necessary for livestock and live
stock for diversified farming, but let
us remember that we can make leg
umes on our normal soils without linz
ing.
The facts that we wish to especial
ly stress are that lime is valuable
where needed and for certain crops
that have high lime requirements,
but that the need for lining in Geor-
gia is by no means general. The users
of lime should be very discriminate
ing because applications Of lime are
costly, time consuming and laborious,
and, where not needed, absolutely
worthless.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING
SATISFIES THE SOUTH
. What One County Did When the
Boil Weevil Stopped the
Raising of Cotton

When the boil weevil appeared in
the South and made cotton growing
improbable the general opinion was
that a great calamity had befallen
the cotton growing States, but farm
ers of Pontotoc County, Miss, now
believe that the pest was blessing
in disguise. Several years ago the
weevil forced the farmers fthis COM
munity into diversified farming, and
as a result the county is now far
richer than it ever was when cotton
was king. The agricultural and live
stock interests have undergone re-
markable change in the past four
years, and much of it may be attrib-
uted to the educational work and zeal
of the local county agent.
Before the appearance of the boil
weevil the rich valley lands of the
county often produced bale of cot
ton an acre. In 1915 the county
made $50 bales of cotton, hwich was
an average crop before the boil wee
vii appeared. This crop of cotton
averaged II cents a pound, and yield
ed to growers $522,50O. In 1916 the
boil weevil caused cotton production
to drop to 1900 bales. This was sold
at 17% cents a pound, the total be-
ing $159,750. In that year it is es-
timated that $15O,000 worth of food
and feed was brought into the county.
Cotton being their only crop this left
the farmers $9,750 after paying for
the imported food stuffs. That year
it seemed as if every business inter-
est of the county would be bankrupt,
but the farmers began to put into
practice some of the teachings of the
county agent, who told them to diver
sify their crops and raise live stock.
Until 1915 there had never been a
car of hogs, corn, melons, cane seed,
peanuts, or popcorn shipped from
the county, but during 1918 and the
first part of 1919 there were shipped
from the county 104 cars of hogs
valued at more than $250,000; 468
cars of corn, valued at 1857, 1916; 20
cars of molasses, valued at little
more than $4,000; Is cars of cane
seed, valued at nearly $4,000; Is
cars of peanuts, valued at nearly
$4,000; and cars of popcorn, val
ued at more than $4,000; as we'll
as as cars of peas, cars of velvet
beans, 4,70O bales of cotton (19180
ITO cars of cottonseed products, FL
cars of cattle, % mixed cars of cat
tie and hogs, 29 cars Of eggs, 8 cars
of poultry, several cars of lumber,
and express shipments Of eggs, poul-
try, butter land cream, making to-
tai value of more than $2,50O,0O0.

SOUTH TO FRONT IN ROADS

Recent reports received by the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
on Federal aid road projects show the
South moving forward in the road
building campaign, with projects
showing higher grade construction.
Of the IS Georgia projects approved
for April, two were for bridges, 2 for
concrete and for either brick, con-
crete, or bituminous road, the others
being for sand-clay roads. The con-
crete roads will cost from $4,000 to
$4,000 a mile, indicating the highest
type construction, for the cost in the
South is usually less than that in the
North. Louisiana will build a short
bituminous macadam road at an es-
timated cost of $36,377 mile. Vir-
ginia has one bituminous macadam
and three macadam roads in 9 pro-
jects approved.

drink wines and liquors, every poor
man ought to be thankful that the
temptation is removed from him and
that he and his family are saved
from the disastrous effects of whis-
key drinking. The law that saves me
because of my lack of money is not
unjust because my rich neighbor is
able to evade it and thereby injure
himself and family.
The trouble lies in thinking that
whiskey or beer adds any real pleas
ure to life. Those things are craved
only by those of a diseased or vita
ted appetite and the result of drink
ing liquor or beer is permanent i'll
health and premature death. There
are many ways in which the man OF
sound physical health can get the
best enjoyment out Of life and the
temptation that would ruin him
should be removed.
If the rich want to evade the law,
debauch themselves and die, should
the poor man complain because he IS
not able to do likewise? We think
not.-Vidalia Advance.

Advice From Poultry Specialist

Tue average hen in North Dakota
produces for her owner so eggs a
year. According to average prices of
eggs and foods she must produce 100
eggs each year to pay her keep. By
observing certain simple rules she
will lay more than that number. She
must be fed a variety of feed ell or
most of which may be produced on
the farm; she must scratch for her
feed and must have water which has
been slightly warmed; her house
must be free from drafts and with
ar abundance of ligth and ventilation
With a poultry industry in the Uni
ted States amounting to over 100
million dollars and an annual loss
from poor care of the egg products
amounting to IS million dollars it is
necessary to remove the causes.
One of the greatest losses comes from
the ''fertile egg'' which during the
hot summer days easily spoils there
fore to avoid this loss all male birds
should be removed from the flock as
soon as the breeding season is past.
If the male is a valuable bird for
breeding ne should be penned by him.

Germany is putting up the most dis
gushing spectacle of whining ever seen
in the world. With her usual lack of
consistency she is crying that the peace
terms fixed by the allies are the COM
bined essence of robbery, murder slav-
cry. etc. She wants justice and fair
ness and mercy and charity, and espec-
iai1y raw materials and unhampered
access to the worlds trade. Think of
the terms she is brazenly asking, in the
face of her unprecedented crimes
against humanity. Germany is the
mother of the most heinous types of
murder, slavery. rapine, robbery, in
justice. cruelty. tyranny. We can
imagine the kind of terms she would
have offered the allies if she had been
victor in the awful war she started to
rob France. Look what she did to
France in 1871.
. In January, 1918. President Wilson
proposed settlement of the war up
on terms set forth in document COW
ering fourteen points. The civilized
world applauded 1t as fair PROPOSE
tion, but Germany gave no sincere at
tention to it, because at that time she
thought victory was near at hand If
OciHldHJ dCCtplcu tIlO56 ltIIuS
there would have been saved millions
of lives and billions of destruction
Fifty thousand brave and stalwart
American boys who gave up their lives
would have been spared to their pa
rents and their country After Ger
many was whipped eleven months la
ter her unmanly officials accept" the
fourteen points and demand settlement
on that basis. There is absolutely no
obligation on America or the allies to
regard the fourteen points. They were
offered in January to stop the bloody
war at once, and not to be used to
hide behind at some later date when
the war was fought out.
Germany has been treated fairly in
the peace terms. much more so than
she would have offered under reversed
conditions. What heed would she have.
given to the fourteen points? None.
There is no penalty too great to i'm
pose upon Germany. France is not |
satisfied with the peace treaty because |
1t is not severe enough, and nobody |
can blame her for feeling that way, |
Germany now says she will not sign |
the treaty. If not the country should |
be divided up and parceled out amongst
the neighbors that have suffered so |
terribly at her bloody and rapacious |
hands.
