SWEET SINGER Is SENT
 BACK TO IRELAND TO
 GET BIRTH CERTIFICATE


 NEW YORK, June % E'ranciS OBricn, a young Stripling famous on LIls Island as a Stowaway and as q .cnor Of promise. who Is on the high seas today on his return voyage to Ireland, is living proof that birth certificate may sometimes prove an essential document in the pursuit of . career as a singer.
 Were it not for his lack of such q document a., proof of his contention that he was born in Philadelphia and that his parents took him to Ireland yhan he was four years old, young )'Grirn might now be winning the hearts of American music lovers, as lid John Mccormack, the emulation of whose career led the lad to secret himself on an bound vessel some three weeks ago.
 Instead, immigration officials, who nave only cold legal instructions to guide them is making decisions, saw nt ,o place him on an outgoing ship mi let him try to establish the essen .ial fact concerning his birth after his cturn. O'Brien, however, dispaircd of oc.ng able to prove much about his origin, because his father and mother are both dead aud he has no relatives n Ireland
 The young tenoY's fame as a singer probably would never have started to sprcaG had it not been for a slight ill., ness contracted on Ellis Island, cauS- lng him to be placed in the hospital or treatment. The nurses there be- anne enchanted with his singing, and ,efo.c he was deportcd he was giving concerts for the other inmates of the .osptal as well as for the inhabitants of the island generally. AS a result O'Bncn'S name today is on the lips of ill Ellis Island. The hospital attend ants were calling his name with tend CT eulogy and expressing extreme Sor row that he had to go back.
 O'Bricn is only one of hundreds of ;'ch cases that are sent back to their
 lginal place of authorization every a,nth. There are 50 Stowaways on lj,r island now awaiting orders to go oa'k. never having seen more of New York han ,ts enchanting skyline. Ev- eIy incoming ship from no matter what port, according to immigrant ,n officials, brings from two to ten stow aways, and almost all of them have a frutlesS voyage to this country.

In the southern states it is posi-
BILE to grow two crops of Irish pota-
toes each year-a spring crop plant
ed from January to April and har-
vested from April to August, and a
fall crop planted in July or August
and harvested from October to De-
cember.
From Virginia south the Red Nc
Cormick variety, also called the
Lookout Mountain or Peach Blow,
has come into general use for fall
planting because it grows well and
produces a good crop in the fall UNI
der good growing conditions.
The white Mccormick, a white
skinned strain of the above variety,
is also used to some extent in fall
planting.
The crop resulting from the plant
ing of either of these varieties is
used for human food, or as seed for
planting the next fall
Mccormick potatoes used as a
spring crop in the southern states
produce a rank growth of tops, but
only a few small tubers; therefore
the use of this variety should be con-
fined to the fall or second crop of
Irish potatoes.
Tests concluded at the Georgia Elk
pertinent Station indicate that the
Irish Cobbler and the Spaulding
Rose, two popular spring crop varie-
ties, may be used to advantage for
planting second crop in the south
ern states. The small tubers of these
varieties harvested in May or June
may be saved and planted in July or
August for a fall crop, but such seed
does not always give a good stand.
To insure stand of Cobblers or
Rose for a second crop seed tubers

Second Crop Irish Potatoes.

similar to those used for spring
planting should be held over in cold
storage until time to plant the fall
crop. Such seed sprouts quickly on
being taken from cold storage and
the resulting plants, under favorable
weather conditions, produce good
crop of medium sized tubers. These
potatoes are suitable for eating
throughout the winter or they may
be stored in place where they will
not freeze and used as seed for
planting the next spring crop.
Irish Cobblers, Spaulding Rose and
Red Bliss raised as second crop at the
Georgia Experiment Station in the
fall of 1919 were used as seed for
the spring crop in 1920. On har-
vesting this crop June 22 it was
found that the second crop of home
grown seed of these three varieties
had produced yields which compared
favorably with seed of the same va
rieties obtained from northern states.
The Red Bliss was used in our
tests, but we do not advise people
to plant this variety either as a spring
or fall crop, because it is very sus-
ceptible to insects and diseases and
does not yield as well as the other
varieties.
Where it is possible to irrigate the
land fall crop potatoes may be plant
ed at any time in July, but in unirri-
gated soil better stand will be OBJ
tanned if the seed is planted in damp
cool soil. following rain.
With the present shortage and re-
sultant high price of Irish potatoes
efforts should be made to produce a
fall crop of potatoes for table use
and for seed with which to raise a
spring crop.

WANT LAWMAKERS

COMMITTEE VOTES DOWN b.
ENNIAL SESSIONS BILL, BUT
MINORITY REPORT WILL BE
MADE TO THE HOUSE.

ATLANTA.-After sharp de-
bate the house committee on consti-
tutional amendments with a bare
quorum present voted to report ad-
versely the bill of Representative
Mundy of Polk providing for biennial
sessions of the general assembly. AS
the advocates of the bill believe that
a majority of the house and possibly
the necessary two-thirds favor the
measure a minority report will be
submitted and effort made to bring
the matter to vote this year.
Mr.. Mundy told the committee that
only seven -of forty-eight states in
the union had annual sessions and
that one of the states, Alabama,
managed very satisfactorily with
only one session every four years.
He read letters from number of
governors to the effect that their
states would not for a moment con-
sent to annual sessions of the legis-
lature.
Mr.. Lindsey of DeKalb opposed
the bill on the ground that annual
meetings of the lawmakers are needed
to solve the difficult problems that
were being presented each year.

narrowing of the spaces down to
three inches is an Improvement. Be-
low that the crowding may be inju-
rious. These results have been con-
firmed recently by experiments car
ried on at state stations.
Late Thinning Essential.
1t must be remembered by planters
practicing the thick-spacing system
that another change from old meth
DDS is necessary at the same time.
When cotton is spaced far apart it is
thinned early. When close spacing is
adopted the thinning must be delayed
until comparatively late in the sea-
son. If the thinning is done early
vegetative branches are likely to ap-
pear even when the plants are thick
in the rows, thus offsetting such adj
vantages as might be gained. 1t is
not possible to fix any definite time
at which thinning should be done, but
it is safe to say that the plants
should be from six to twelve inches
high, as has been customary in. the
past. Persons who, either by design
or because they are unable to get la
Dor for thinning work earlier, post
pone their thinning until late in the
season should adopt the single-stalk,
close-spacing system. If late in the
season they chop out the cotton to
conform with the old-time standard
they run the risk of greatly reducing
their yields.
Close spacing and delayed thinning
does not mean that there must be no
cultivation until after thinning. Gull
tivation to control weeds, of course,
must be undertaken whenever the de-
velopment of grass or weeds show
that cultivation is needed.

Would Dawson people recommend

Gerald Griffin, novelist, lyricist, was
born December IL, 1903, in Limerick,
Ireland He was one of thirteen chill
dren, nine boys and four girls. He
was the youngest of the boys and
when a little fellow his parents
moved from Limerick to Fairy Lawn,
by the Shannon river, where Gerald
grew up, happy and profitable, by the
life which he led, in the midst of a
country so rich in ruins, which told
him of the glories of his native land.
His mother was a woman of great
talent and deeply religious, and to her
training he always attributed any tai
ent that he possessed. In 1920 the
parents moved to America, settling in
Pennsylvania; but Gerald, with one
brother and two sisters, was left to
the care of another brother, who was
a practising physician in Adare,
County Limerick. Gerald thought OF
following the profession of his
brother; but the love Of literary pur.
suits had too strong hold on him
His chief interest was in the drama
The modern stage he considered in a
decadent condition, and boy though he
was, he conceived the bold idea Of
reyolutionizing the dramatic tastes Of
the time BY wviti'-e for the stage.
