w. B. DeCkner Addresses
DOuuIaSViIIe Pupils

DOUGLASVILLE, Ga, Feb. 25.-
Mr.. w. B. Deckner, gardening ex-
pert of The Atlanta Journal, adj
dressed the pupils of the local high
school and a crowd of representative
truck growers on the necessity of
good home gardens Friday, the meet
ing being a part of the educational
plan that is being carried out by
County Agent w. S. Burns.
In his address, Mr.. Deckner en-
phasized the Importance of building
up an honest reputation for growing
products of quality and of selling
these comparatively under a sane,
businesslike arrangement. The speak
er called the attention of his audience
to the need of scientific grading of
all marketable products and of pack
ing them in attractive containerc, be-
cause doing so would enable the
members to obtain better financial
assistance and would, therefore, be a
means Of cultivating a wholesome
confidence in our fellow men, whether
farmer, banker, merchant or lawyer.
Furthermore, Mr.. Deckner stated
that Georgians should have the
greatest gardens on earth because
we have so many of the elementary
soils of this country and such favor
able climatic conditions for the
growth and development of all gar
den plants.
In dealing with the different vege-
table plants, Mr.. Deckner stated that
we may divide them into two gen
eral classes, viz, the tuber class,
such as turnips, carrots, beets, ETC.,
and the fruit class, such as cabbage,
tomatoes, beans, etc, and that the
former class required lots of potash
for the proper growth and develop
ment, which should be supplied in a
we'll balanced fertilizer. The latter
class, Mr.. Deckner stated, required
much nitrogen to yield the best re.
suits in good fertilizers

Dublin-to-Dover
Train Is Proposed

DUBLIN, Ca, Feb. ga COM
promise schedule over the Central of
Georgia railway from Dublin to
Dover to take the place of the train
that it was recently agreed to take
off completely, will be offered to the
road by the Dublin Chamber of Com
merce.
While there is no opposition to the
road taking off one train when it is a
losing proposition, efforts are now
being made to arrange a mixed train
from Brewton to Dover and return
that it is hoped would mean a saving
big enough to the road to keep the
present two trains each way daily,
instead of cutting the service to one
passenger train daily, as is proposed
now.
The matter will be taken up with
General superintendent H. D. Pol
lard, of the Central.

FIRE IN AIKEN, S. G.
NOT DUE TO WIRELESS

AUGUSTA, Ca, Feb. 26.-That
the fire at Aiken, S. c., that wiped
out the entire family of Clarence u.
Monts last Tuesday was not caused
by a wireless telephone outfit in the
Monts home, as was first believed,
is the statement of D. r. Snider, su-
perintendent of Augustus police
telegraph and fire alarm system and
third vice president Of the Interna-
tienal Association of Municipal Elec-
tricians.
Mr.. Snider, in company with Fire
Chief Frank G. Reynolds, Of Au-
gusta, who is president of the In
ternational Association of Fire
Chiefs, visited the scene of the
tragedy Saturday morning and went
over the ground with officials of the
Aiken fire department.
The part of the dwelling which
was least damaged by the flames
was the part in which the wireless
was located, says Mr.. Snider. This
is proof, in itself, that the wireless
had nothing to do with the flames.
Furthermore, he found that the wire
less was a very small one, suited for
receiving purposes only, and was
perfectly insulated and installed. The
outfit was operated by a small dry
cell battery such as is used on door
bells.
Mr.. Snider quoted Chief Reynolds
as also being of the opinion that
the wireless did not cause the fire.
