Federal Officers Capture
 a Car Load of Gin Mills

Texarkana, April 21.-Deputy U. s. Marshal w. E. Bevers, acting on a search and seizure warrant issued by U. s. Commissioner J. B. Turrentine, l this afternoon about 8 o'clock, seized and holds for court orders, the follow ing property which was being trans ported from Chicago to Mexico City, via Laredo:
 Six halfgallon stills, six 1 gallon stills, two gallon stills, three 3 gall lon stills, and three gallon stills. The cap from one was also found in dicating that the car had oeen entered and one still removed.
 The stills were in boxes that were labeled tin heeting', which is an of- fense against federal laws in itself The railroads would not have accepted the stills for shipment knowing their id entity it is declared.
 The car containing the stills was re- moved this afternoon from Arkansas into Texas and the waiting officers im- mediately made the seizure. The fed eral officers in Arkansas district did not act in the matter.

THRIFT GARDENS FOR 192O-~
BEGIN NOW TO PLAN YOURS

lions. You may depart more or less
from this plan, but you should start
right, anyway. The winter is the
proper time to make plans and build
castles. With a mental picture of
last years garden, proceed with the
aid of pencil, rule and paper. Plan
just what you are going to do in
your garden this season.
First of all, the plan must con-
form to the size and shape of the
garden plat. If only small piece
of land is available, careful plan
ming is necessary in order to pro-
vide for the crops that you want to
grow. Last year, perhaps, too much
space was devoted to lettuce and
radishes and not enough to beets,
carrots and beans. Some Of the
crops did very poorly because they
were shaded by the corn and pole
beans, and the cucumbers and the
sQuashes ran all over the late beets
and carrots. Now, with your pencil,
rule and paper, work out plan
whereby ALL or most, of these diff
culties will be avoided. Provide for
crops, so that the little garden plat
will give maximum results.
make a Schedule of Work
After the garden plan is made.
and you know, or think you know,
just how the garden will look after
it is started, the next step will be to
formulate a schedule of work pro-
viding for doing things at the proper
season and time. This does not mean
planting certain crops at the right
time of the moon, but at the right
season and when all conditions are
favorable. The best gardeners be-
lieve that moonshine is just moon
shine, anyway, and that real sun
shine and some other things, such as
fertilizers, good seeds and plenty of
work, are the essential requirements
for growing a good garden.
With the frightening of the days.
it will not be long until work can
be started in the garden. In the
meantime seeds should be procured
few tomato and cabbage plants
should be started in a window box,
and the first steps should be taken
toward the planting of a thrift gar
den.
All over the country various or
CARNATIONS are studying ways and
means to promote thrift and reduce
the high cost of living. Begin now
to plan thrift garden for 1920.

An index to Southwest Georgi

An Index to Southwest Georgia Soils
For some years past an effort has
been made to secure and correlate
data relating to the soils of GeOr-
gia. The impor -ce of this work
cannot be over-estimated, because
one must understand something
about the soil and it's resources be-
fore one can proceed to build it up
intelligently or handle it protitahly.
The soil survey work in progress for
several years past has accumulated
data of vast Importance to the peo-
pie of this state. 1t is a tedious
and long drawn out undertaking and
in order that information might be
secured which was applicable to the
conditions prevailing in widely sep
arated sections of the state the sur
vey and an"'~~is of typical areas
of soil was first undertaken.
In accordance with this policy
survey of Terrell coun located in
southwest Georgia, has recently been
completed by the agencies cooper
ating i. this work. The results OBJ
tanned there may be taken as typiCa
in many respects Of conditions which
will be met with throughout the
greater part of southwest Georgia.
Therefore, the results in Terrell
county are an index to the informa-
ton which farmers living in that
section of the state should possess.
With this end in view a rather COM
pIete re-statement of the findings
made in connection with the survey
of Terrell county is presented below
for the information of our readers.
The soil survey of Terrell county
was made by the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture in cooperation
with the bureau of soils of the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture.
In a previous report, issued by the
bureau of soils, the various soils of
the county are described as to their
physical characteristics, topography
and drainage. The location, extent
and general agricultural value of the
different soil types are given in the
report. 1t also contains a soil map
of the county, showing the area and
distribution of the various soil types.

vey of Terrell county, Georgia, may
be had free from the bureau of soils,

Cotton Varieties Suited to South
Georgia
Il. c. w, Mt. Vernon, Ca, writes:
What is the best variety of cotton for
south Georgia under boil wcevil condl-
tons? Where can | secure the seed
and about what should it cost:
In the southern part of Georgia
there are more or less extensive
areas of land infested with the fur
gus which produces "black-rot,' or
the wilt disease of cotton. This
fungus is very tenacious of life and.
when well established in the soil,
may prove injurious to cotton al
though an interim of several years
may have elapsed since cotton was
planted on this land. This fungus
generally proves more injurious on
sandy soil than on land Of other
types. If the land on Ehicn you eX
pect to plant cotton, therefore, is in
tested with the fungus which pro-
duces the wilt" disease, you should
only plant wilt" resistant strains
of cotton. On this account, we
would recommend for your consider
alton the following varieties: Cow
ington Toole, Petty's Toole, Council
T ole and Lewis 63. You can secure
seed of these varieties from num-
Der of reputable growers living in
the southern part of the state. The
price, Of course, will vary consider
ably according to the view Of the ir-
dividual grower and the quantity
you wish to purchase.
Good planting seed now cost from
$3.50 to $500 per bushel and, if you
secure a we'll selected strain, they
are not expensive at the price indi-
Gated.
The varieties mentioned are among
the earliest maturing strains adapt
ed for growth in south Georgia. You
should not conclude from this state
ment that these strains will not be
attacked by the wilt disease. Sc
rious damage may be done to some
of these in a favorable year. On the
other hand, if they have been bred
up for resistance to this fungus,
they are much more able to with
stand its attacks than the seed OF
other varieties.

Members of the East Potomac
Park Garden club, of Washington,
D. c., paid themselves last year 80
cents an hour in vegetables as a re-
suit of their efforts on 40X100-foot
garden plats. There were 800 of
these home gardens, producing an
average return of $84 worth of vege-
tables, or at the rate of $40 an acre.
Not half bad, when it is considered
that the average acre of farm land
in the United States yields a gross
return of little less than $40. The
all-important point, however, is that
300 families, or 1900 people, We're
well fed with fresh vegetables dur
ing the summer, and a supply was
canned or stored for winter use.
Thousands upon thousands of
home gardens were an important fac
tor last year in supplying food, and
it is important that many more thou
sands of gardens be planted in 1920.
With food prices still soaring, it be-
hooves every householder to plant
garden and grow his own supply of
vegetables. The job of producing
food for the nation has been well
taken careNof by the farmers, but the
spare hours OF industrial workers are
now needed to supplement the eff
forts fof the farmers, say specialists
of the United States department of
agriculture. The man or woman who
works in the store, office or factory
can not be of much direct assistance
to the farmer, but can at least spend
one or two hours every day in the
cultivation of a vegetable garden in
a back yard lot.
Home gardens are especially need
ed in densely populated sections,
where the people are largely depend
ent upon transportation facilities for
bringing their food to them. Every
foot of suitable land in and aroun&
large cities should be made to pro-
duce its quota the coming season.
Time to Plan the Garden
Looking back over last seasons
garden experience, anybody can see
just where improvements could have
been made in his methods. Most
home gardeners did not have def
mite garden plan to begin with and
simply rambled along through the
summer, doing things as they called
for attention.
This season there should be

Uniformity in Potato Prices

The most impressive feature of the
past seasons potato market has been
the comparative uniformity of prices
throughout the country, condition
caused in part by the high prices in
the far west. During the second
half of December prices in Idaho,
usually one of the lowest primary
markets, were higher than in Maine,
which commonly has been relatively
high in price because near the great
consuming centers. At times there
has been less difference between
prices east and west than between
the adjoining states of Idaho and
Colorado.

The Merits of Carriers of Phos-
p!lorics
WIS NJ, Milledgeville, Ga, writes: I
would like your opinion of Duplex basic
phosphate, analyzing IS per cent? Is
it as good as the 16 per cent acid we
have been using?
If V are correctly informed, the
material about which you write is a
by-prOduct obtained from iron fur
naces. No doubt this material con-
tains a total of eighteen per cent of
phosphoric acid. We do not think,
however. that more than eight per
cent will probably become available
during the first year in which it is
applied to our average Georgia land.
On the other hand acid phosphate
costing about the same per ton will
probably supply the growing crop
available phosphoric acid. At the
rate Of sixteen per cent, we would
be disposed therefore to favor the use
of acid phosphate when quick re-
turns are desired as would be true in
the case of cotton production.
Our experience with basic Stag and
other materials of a similar nature
indicates that these are best applied
to land relatively rich in hunus or
vegetable matter. This material can
be used in association with large
quantities Of other carriers of fer
tilizers with relatively good results.
Whenever basic Stag is applied, 1000
pounds or more should be used per
acre. In other words, heavier &p.
plication is essential than woIIt, be
ture if acid phosphate were used.

tation of the facts in the case S

Soil Analysis

Believing it is important that the
plant food content of soils should be
known in order to furnish a rational
basis for their improvement, the col
lege follows UP the work of the
physical survey with chemical anaIy-
sis of soil types found in the county.
By these analyses we can determine
which Of the plant food constituents
are abundant and which are deficient
in the soil, and with this information
at hand, the farmer can more inteIli-
gently undertake the improvement of
his soil by supplying the elements
found to be deficient as we'll as by
taking steps towards making the
more abundant ones available. IN
other words, chemical analysis fur
nishes exact information as to the
needs and possibilities of the soil
from the standpoint of the plant food
it contains and certain other factors
that directly influence production.
Any system of permanent agriculture
must be based, to a large extent, on
these considerations.
It must be remembered, however,
that the chemical composition is
only one of the factors that deter
mines the productivity of the soil.

r. H. H., Marietta Ga, writes: The
acre of land where 1 raise vegetables
is rather fertile gray loan. 1t makes
an abundance of sweet potatoe vines,
but not many potatoes. 1t is almost
impossible to buy stable manure and l,
therefore, wish to ask what grade of
commercial fertilizer l should use on
all garden vegetables, small fruits and
grapes?
Situated as you are, I would ell
deavOr to secure several DIS of
leaves and litter frol.. a nearby
woodlot This material if properly
broken down and applied to your
land, will do as much to revivify
it as anything you can use. 1 am
quite certain your garden soil IS
low in vegetable matter. This ma
terial may be brOadcasted over the
garden after it has been plowed; or
better still, turned under before the
soil is broken. If it is in a semi
rotted condition, so much the better.
On that part of the land devoted
to sweet potatoes you should ma
terially increase the applications of
phosphoric acid and potash. A
formula containing per cent Of
nitrogen, 10 per cent of phosphoric
acid and to per cent of potash
would be about right for use on q
crop of this character. I think your
land is likely deficient in an album
dance of the last two elements in a
readily available form. One might,
of course, recommend a large num-
Der of formulas for use on the va
rious crops you have mentioned. Ny
own experience as a gardener, how
ever, has brought me to the conclu-
sion that one standard formula ap-
piled to all crops of the character
you describe will give fairly good
results. SO L have standardized the
fertilization of my garden on the
basis of the use of a formula Of
from to 4 IL per cent of avail
able nitrogen, to no per cent Of
phosphoric acid and to per cent
of potash. 1t is true that you do
not need as much nitrogen as this
formula carries for use. There is
naturally a good deal of expense at.
tached to purchasing of several
formulas for use on a given garden:
hence the desirability Of concen
trating on one mixture. To some
1 may appear to stress the use of
nitrogen too much. On the other
hand, liberal applications of nitrogen
force the crops to quicker maturity
