CHAS. BYBE HOME
. SWEPT BY FIRE
Cottage Located East Of College De
stroyed Thursday Afternoon by Fire
Of Unknown Origin
OCCUPIED BY II. BUTLER FAMILY
Lack Of Water PrOtecti0n Causes Total
Lass Although Property Could Have
Been SavcA-lur1iiiure Removed

The cottage owned by Chas. Bybe, To-
Gated on Fourth avenue out in the Col
lege addition. was totally destroyed by
fire Thursday about o'clock. The fire
was discovered by neighbors who saw
smoke coming through the roof, and
the alarm was promptly sent in, but as
there Is no fire protection in the Col
lege addition the Are department. had to
resort to the use sOf the chemicals which
were not sufficient to cxtinSuish the
blaze.
Harry Butler and family. who moved
to Denison about a month ago from
Scranton, occupied the cottage. Mr..
Butler is working for a road gang and
his wife spent much Of her time with
her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Pat Pelly,
who live in the same neighborhood.
Mrs. Butler states that they had not
had a fire, in the house since the pre-.
tceding Sunday and can not account for
tho fire. She left the house during the
forenoon and went to the home of her
mother and knew nothing about the fire
until told by neighbors.
When the blaze was discovered 1t was
confined to the roof and neighbOrs were
able to remove most of the furniture
and furnishings. although a winters
supply Of coal and potatoes stored In
the cellar were destroyed. IN
The fire department made good use
Of the chemical and had the blaze well
under control when the tanks went dry
and Il was then but brief time before
the cottage was enveloped in flames and
burned to the ground. !
Residents of East Denison are I'm in
arms over this loss. For six years they
claim they have been endeavoring to
get the city council to furnish them

The poultry culling work demOnstra-
tion showed clearly that there are many
small leaks in the profits of our farms,
which in the aggregate runs into the
hundreds of thousands Of dollars. From
soil erosion the Crawford county farms
are losing many thousands of dollars
worth of fertility annually. Keeping
Improbable dairy cows causes another
heavy loss. Scrub livestock on our
farms gets it's share of the farm profits.
There is remedy for these losses The
remedy is this. the cooperation Of the
farmers with the farm bureau in dem
onst rating the cause and the cure.

be unable to secure their fer
tilizer promptly, would you, ad-
wise planting the cotton without
the fertilizer and applying as
soon as possible as side dress
ing, or wait for the fertilizer
as late as April 10th and put
under the crop?
We believe it desirable to put the
fertilizer under the drill row, for
cotton which is planted in boil
weeviI infested territory. If side
applications are used, they should
be put on as soon as the cotton
comes out of the ground and is
chopped to a stand. Even then. we
do not believe you will find ali de-
sirable results from the use of fer
tilizer as if it had been placed un-
der the drill row when Ghe cotton
was planted or a few days pre-
vious to the time it was seeded.
In some sections Of the state the
best time for planting cotton may
be from April 1920. We realize, Of
course, that this will be very late
for south Georgia and undesirable
on that account. We simply mention
this fact to let you see that in a
state as large as ours, planting
time for cotton will vary materially
according to seasonal, soil and eli
matte conditions.

The Country Home
BY MRS. w. II. FELTON,
An April Blizzard in 1s4s

After some tornado experiences
and flood experience in this early
| Springtime of 1920, we are now haVS
ing an April blizzard to make our
poor farmers very apprehensive as
to a wheat crop or a fruit crop in
Georgia ATTITUDES. We surely are in
1920 going round in circle, rather
| than in forward movement. We
had q small SnoWStorm in Carriers
vile on Easter Monday. If the wind
abates tonight there will be a freeze
all over north Georgia. We shall
see what we will see and also be
obliged to put up with it, whether
good, bad, or Indifferent"
Away back in the year 1S49 re-
member a fatal April blizzard. Our
family spent the school months In
Decatur. The other months. in Win
ter, we lived on the river plantation.
We were getting along bravely in the
spring of 1S49. 1t was given up
that there was the finest wheat crop
of very many years. There was no
wheat shipped southwark from the
great west in those early days.) We
had well-equipped grain mills and
people raised their own wheat and
corn, and these local mill owners
ground the grain into flour and meal.
Ny father owned such a mill and he
devoted his farming operations to
grain growing, and sold the griSt to
nearby towns, the surplus that the
mill provided.
Decatur was the county site and
the courthouse and Jail could be seen
from our town house door. One day
the word went around that smallpox
had broken out in Atlanta, and it
was also concluded that a bad dis
ease like smallpox was discovered in
the county jail of Decatur.
Panic prevailed. we mad read
about smallpox, but the fewest num-
l. e l0I -
case of genuine smallpox-never in
that vicinity.
There was a great cry for vaccine
matter. 1 remember well the day
my arm was treated with some very
scarce vaccine matter, a trifle of a
scratch it was.
1t was so warm out-of-doors that
fires were unnecessary in the house.
We were all wearing summer gar
ments. Garden peas were in full
bloom. The fruit trees were full of
tiny peaches and green leaves. 1t
was beautiful.
turned cold in the night. Next morn
ing the clouds were splitting snow"
We returned to big log-heap fires.
The. smallpox extended and we were
all bundled up to get away early in
the week. The South river home
found us glad to be there. And the
blackness of desolation was spread
over the wheatfields, the gardens,
and the big orchards, and all the
land. The wheat stalks turned yell
low, ditto the young corn, and both
dropped and died. 80
We had one field of a hundred
acres in wheat that was in blossom
it was in ruin. Within q week 8
time, if a match had been applied,
the fire would have swept over it
like fire in dead grass, in late aut-
umn.
Biscuits were scarce in old Geor-
gia in 1S49. All our wheat land was
replanted in corn and it was corn
bread that pulled us through to an
other year. With SO much corn (and
everybody had to raise corn), we had
no market for meal, and wheat
brought a fine price in 1849. Our
people concluded to raise a big hog
crop to use up the big surplus corn
CROP We had to build extra rail

The young ones attended a country
school, until the summer term closed
in the town school. Then we went
back for the fall term to be told
that young Atlanta was going to cut
loose from us and in due course of
time, there was Fulton county, and
it looked like poor, old Decatur had
gone back to a small one-horse town

ing frosts. On May /, 1854, there
was a sweeping frost all over north
Georgia. Every cotton stalk above
the ground was killed, "as dead as

early '90's that also cleaned up the
growing crops. These April bliz-
yards are exceedingly difficult things
