|THE statement has frequently been pub
lished that Georgia could erect a
boundary wall and that her cit1zenry
could live happily and prosperously within
it's limits for generations. OF the twenty-six
varieties of soil adaptable in the United
States, Georgia has twenty-three. California,
the most extensively advertised State In the
Union, has only nineteen. Climatic condi-
tons in Georgia are unsurpassed, If equalled,
and the seasons render inexpensive and prot
liable the production Of almost every known
variety of fruits, vegetables and farm
products.
The Walton Tribune thinks that a cam
paign Is in order for the utilization OF Wal
ton coanty products by Walton county peo-
pie. Walton is easily one Of Georgia's lead
ing agricultural counties, it's soil being capa-
BILE of producing every crop necessary for the
home and farm. Says the Tribune
Nothing should be shipped into the
county that can be purchased from our
farmers There is at this time a guam
>tity of homeraised flour which the mer-
chants of the various towns should place
on sale, and no doubt there are other
things which could be disposed of. We
need the full cooperation along this
line in every section of the county, and
next year everything should be so sys-
tematized that many articles OF food
stuffs and feedstuffs now shipped into
the county could be purchased from
home folks. The farmers are ready to
raise the products. 1t is up to every
business man to assist him in finding a
market for them. And home consump-
ton of home products should be the
slogan henceforward. 1t will help
whole lot in the new order of things.
Conditions similar to those here described
Georgia farmers are in a position to supply
city and rural homes with choice products,
and there should be a cooperative effort at
producing and marketing.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS-IT PAYS
By DORO THY DIX

And il men rate good nature as the chief
Of ten thousand virtues in wives, women
place an even higher value on 1t in husbands.
When you hear woman envy another woman
her husband it is never because the man Is
moral, or Industrious, or honest or pillar
in the church, or even because he Is success
full in business, and bestoWs pearls and hmou-
sines upon his spouse.
No, the paragon husband is the jolly, good
natured man who is sunshine in his home,
who chucks his wife under the chin and tells
her that she gets easier on the eyes every
day; who jollies the cook, and jokes the
children, and makes everybody feel that Gods
in His heaven, and all's right with the world.
Why, this very minute there are thousands
of women getting divorces from men who are
models of all the standard virtues, but who
are SO grouchy and disagreeable that their
wives couldn't stand them, and there are
thousands of other women cheerfully taking
boarders, and making dresses, and standing
behind counters to support husbands who are
nothing but lazy loafers, but who are such
amiable and pleasant, and cherry companions
that their wives are willing to pay for their
society.
In business, good nature is an asset that
is better than money in the bank. When we
go to buy we make bee line for the most
pleasant looking clerk in sight, irrespective
Of whether he or she knows most about the
goods or not. We never force the good-na-
tured to be as prompt IN payment as we 90
the disgruntled when they owe us money
We put up with good deal of bad service
from an employe who is easy to get along
with. We push the fortunes of the good ma
tured because we like them, and want to do
them good turn.
I know an actress of superlative ability
who has never had the recognition that her
talents deserve because Of her temper. She's
a brand in any company. We can't af-
ford to have her, although she is genius"
say managers. "Of course, Jones is faithful
and honest, and has the whole department
at his fingers ends, but he can't get along
with the men, we will have to give the
place to someone else" say Jones employ
ers.
"Miss A is far better stenographer than
Miss B, but if we must let one go we will
keep Miss B because she is pleasant to get
along with, and you have to handle Miss A
with kid gloves" says the tired business man.
And so it goes on all through life. Good
nature is bread cast upon the waters that
comes back to us angels food. A smile is
the magic that turns surliness to courtesy.
pleasant word will buy you more privi-
leges than money will, and a kindly, genial,
good-humored face, is passport that is hon.
ored at sight the world over.
Try 1t and see IL it isn't.

Georgia, Queen Of Vans

~ OMPILED returns from throughout the
country indicate conclusively that
Georgia leads the world in the pro-
duction of sweet potatoes, the 1920 yield
being conservatively estimated at more than
ten million bushels. OF this vast crop,
South Georgia, with it's fertile soil peculiarly
adapted to this purpose, raised the major por
tion.
In several sections of South Georgia pota-
to growers organizations are being formed
and plans contemplated for deriving a
lucrative profit from this important crop.
Sweet potato curing houses are being con-
structed for the purpose of protecting the
celebrated Georgia Yam against the frost
and ice of winter.
The Georgia Yam, with many limitations
but no equal, is a nationwide favorite. In
no other Stale has an enduring rival been de-
veloped; and in no other country, If the con-
test should be extended into International
competition.
The sweet potato is easily susceptible to
cold weather. A frost-bitten specimen loses
it's sweetness, although it's food value is not
totally destroyed. Modern varieties have
gained popularity throughout the State, but
the famous old-time Georgia Yam has not
lost it's prestige, and will not, SO long as the
variety is continued in it's select purity.
The establishment of curing houses in ev-
cry section of the State that produces pota-
toes should be encouraged. In past years
millions of bushels have rotted sprouted
in the banks rudely constructed of pi ne-tops,
corn stalks, hay and EARTH The curing
house is the only real assurance of preserya-
ton,

Saving Georgia S Game

~ ONE years ago citizens of middle
Georgia county were regretfuliy dis
cussing the rapid disappearance of
quail and other game. One of them declared
that an adequate game law would stop the
slaughter before it was too late, and yet save
the game. The other remarked: eff you will
go to the legislature and pass such law, we
will elect you
which has restored to Georgia her game sup
ture, introduced and passed his bill, and two
years later was rewarded for his work by de-
feat at the polls. But the results of that
great constructive legislation cannot be de-
stroyed or defeated. Game hogs ire in the
minority Never again will they get the
upper hand. Nobody would think serious
ly of attempting to pass bill repeating the
protective provisions thrown around quail
and other game.
Indeed, the tendency has been to
strengthen the game law, rather than to
weaken it. Public sentiment has steadily
grown in support of game law enforcement.
Prosecutions for game poaching are more
numerous and successful Heavy court
fines backed by public opinion have taught
the game b g respect for the law.
So that many parts of Georgia are today a
veritable hunters paradise. Georgia bids
as game state. The great fishing streams
Of south Georgia, the deer and bear ranges
in the swamps along the coast, the fields
Astounding in quail and dove, the forest re-
serves and lakes in north Georgia-aH of
tho combine to give Georgia an extraor-
binary supply o. game and fish, both actual
and prospective.

Re1uard-W;nn;nq Wives

~ ENTLEMEN OF the old school Of politics
who have found it difficult to recon-
Gle themselves to the advent Of
woman suffrage may derive some consolation
from the newest and most unique develop
ment growing out of votes-for-women.
President Harding has established a prece-
dent Of rewarding husbands for valuable po-
litical service rendered by their wives. I'm
doubtedly many wives would feel themselves
capable, if political appointment offered, to
take the jobs themselves and draw the sala-
ries and enjoy the honors, such as they might
be. But the President, it is safe to assume,
consulted the wishes of the two ladies in this
particular case and obtained their approval
Of the appointment of their husbands.
Thus it comes to pass that women may be
helpful to politicians in that very practical
sense wherein hope of reward furnishes the
motive for active work. Even hard
boiled" politician who felt that women had
no business in politics, and would spoil the
game" might thaw out little if his wife
were in position to turn a trick" which he
could not handle, but which would bring him
reward.

CHILDREN'S SLEEP
By H. Addington Bruce

W. RITING with reference to my frequent
w insstence On the Importance of am
pie rest and sleep for children as a
preventive OF nervousness and an aid in their
nutrition, correspondent asks how much
sleep children should have. Speaking gener-
ally, the sleep requirement varies with age
lessenlng as years are added. More specifl-
cally, scientific opinion recommends:
Between the ages Of one and two years.
sixteen to eighteen hours of sleep in every
twenty-four hours; between two and three
years, fifteen to seventeen hours; between
three and four years, fourteen to sixteen
hours; between four and five years, thirteen
to fifteen hours
After five years of age and up to the age
Of eight, eleven to twelve hours Of sleep
should suffice; between eight ana eleven
years, ten to eleven hours and between eleven
and thirteen, nine hours.
Now, however, there should be temporary
engthening rather THAN shortening of the
sleep period. For, to quote Marie de Mana
ceine. eminent authority on the sleep prob
lem:
cat the critical age of puberty, during the
transition from childhood to adolescence, the
duration of sleep should be somewhat aug
mented. At the end of this period it may be
reduced to from seven to nine hours; and
only after the completion of growth, at the
age of nineteen or twenty, can it be safely
brought as low as six to eight hours day.
1t should at once be added that the same
authority warns that, if many children do
not get enough sleep, there are some who
get altogether too much This has its own
evil consequences.
eff one sleeps longer than the repose Of
consciousness and the repair of the tissues
require there will, in the first place. be an
enfeeblement of consciousness from lack Of
exercise; and, in the second place, an adapta-
ton Of the vessels to an abnormal state of
nutritive circulation, to the detriment of the
functional circulation.
Consequently we may have ground to ap-
prehend trouble in the respiratory exchange
and oVerproductiOn of carbOnfc ac1d-not
matter of indifference to the organism,
which may sooner or later be injured
thereby
But especially in these times Of high pres
sure and sensation-craving, by which chill
dren as well as adults are uhduly stimulated,
the undersleeping evil is far more prevalent
than the oversleeping one. And its conse-
quences, let me remind you, include
stunning of the physical growth, 1t being
fact that children grow mainly while they
are resting or sleeping.
weakening of the power to digest and
assimlate food, malnutrition thereby result
ing with all it's attendant ills.
A lessening of the power to pay attention,
with the result that school work is done
poorly and intellectual development delayed.
A diminishing Of nerve control, due to IA
tigue and malnutriton.
And of not least Importance, a shrinking
of the child's personality, so that it becomes
dull and uninteresting. Some one once
framed the phrase, "Tiresome children often
are only tired children" Often they are both
tired and tiresome only for lack of sleep.

vested in it as good nature?
In a world full Of glooms and grouches,
and razor-edged tempers, and nerves set OH
a hair trigger, we are so ALFRED grateful to
people who are cheerful, and smiling, and
easy to get along with that we are ready to
condone everything they do and don't do, and
make doormats of ourselves before them.
Good nature is an albi for all of the vir-
tues and most of the talents, and an optipis-
tic nature, an easy laugh, and an India rub
Der disposition will carry any man or woman
farther than the whole moral code, or any
thing short of absolute genius.
It's even substitute for beauty. For be-
tween Venus, with prickly temper, and sub
ject to moods and tense, and Mary Jane,
with snub nose and carotty hair, and jolly,
and soothing, and agreeable to have around,
Mary Jane wins out every time.
It is a matter of common knowledge that
the prettiest girl in the community seldom
makes the best match. Very often she doesn't
even have the most beaux That is because
living pictures are nearly always spoiled,
and selfish, and catfish, and neither men nor
women like that sort of girl, or help her
along
The popular girl is generally just aver
age as to good looks and intelligence, but
she's got the charm of charms to conjure
with. She's good-natured. She's willing to
fall in with anybody elses plans, and do her
best to make every occasion a success. She
admires the other girls Clothes and Is sim
cerely glad when any good luck comes to her
friends. She'll teach an awkward boy how
to dance, and make shy one feel at home,
and she is always invited everywhere because
she is so pleasant to have about, and no.
body cares whether she is pretty or not, or
dressed in the latest style or not
Good nature is the real secret of how to
retain husbands love and keep him think
ing that you are the Only Woman, even after
you are fat and forty, and no longer fair.
You never hear of man getting a divorce
from a good natured wife. You never hear
of man finding out that wife who is pleas
ant and cheerful, and reasonable, isn't his
real soul mate, or of man leaving bright,
jolly home to chase after chickens.
On the contrary, we have all seen men put
up with wives who we're wasteful, and ex-
travagant, and lazy and shiftless, but who
had the redeemng quality of being good ma
tured and agreeable. We all know homes
where meals are never on time, where the
cooking is atrocious, where everything is at
SKIES and sevens, but where we love to go
because at the head of it is a woman who is
SO sweet and joyous, so overlooking with the
| milk of human kindness, that we go away
feeling as If, for little while, we had tar
red on high place and supped on the bread
Of life.

P1o,O;;nq the Weev7 Under

m AR. SOULE has given suggestion for
MI combating the boil weevil that mer-
~vA it's the attention of every farmer in
Georgia, and that should be acted on prompt
ly to get the maximum results
Cotton stalks now in the field from which
the whole cotton crop has been picked, points
out DR.. Soule, are still infested with boil
weevils in large numbers. They can be found
inside of the soft bolls on top of the cotton
stalks. These bolls will never open. The
weeyils already have destroyed the cotton
they contain. When the first hard frost
comes, the weevils will leave the bolls and
go into winter quarters.
Hence it is necessary, II they are to be de-
stroyed in the field, to work on them at once,
and to that end DR.. Soule suggests that farm
ers all over Georgia-and, indeed, all over
this part of the belt-go into the cotton fields
at once with heavy turning ploWs and bury
the cotton stalks and the weevils.
To burn the stalks in the field would de-
stroy many weevils, DR.. Soule agrees, but he
questions the wisdom of that method because
it would destroy from forty to fifty pounds
Of nitrogen per acre, and our soils already are
deficient in that most valuable OF all ele-
ments of plant food.
Flowing up the cotton stalks and letting
them die and rot in the fields would destroy
some weevils, but would not destroy nearly
so many as blowing them under, and would
lose a good portion of the nitrogen contained
DR.. Soule states, the stalks put back into the
soil their nitrogen, while the boil weevils die.
"The time to hit the boil weevil,'' DR.. Soule
-aptly remarks, 'is when he is down. 1t may
not be good craftsmanship, but it's mighty
good economics"
The boil weevil does not hesitate to strike
the cotton grower when he is down, as the
grower well knows; and whenever grower
has an opportunity to strike the weevil when
he is down, he ought to seize it without
moments delay.
Every pair of boil weevils destroyed now,
declares DR.. Soule, are equivalent to the de-
struction of seven to eleven million boil wee
wills next spring and summer. This destruc-
tive insect multiplies with prodigious rapid
ity. Perhaps no other insect known to sci
ence- can equal the boil weevil In that re-
spect The weevils now in the cotton fields
are the "seed CROP for next year. Every pair
that escape destruction now, and that go into
winter quarters, will produce enough weevils
next spring to fill whole cotton field.
Eight them now as suggested by DR..
SouIe, is good advice. The farmers have
their plows, their 4nules, their tractors, their
waiting fields. In the next three weeks ire
mendous slaughter of weevils can and ought
to take place.
