the investment in seed is too great for
taking chance with the weather, but
with beets, lettuce, and radishes very
email quantity Of seed is required, and
If they come through in good shape,
the product will be ready for use much
earlier than If the planting were. de-
layed. About 25 or 80 feet of row
will give all the early beets required
by an ordinary family. Radishes may
be planted in the rows with early peas.
However, it will be necessary to re-
move the radishes before they begin
to crowd the peas. As rule, radishes
will be ready for use in three or four
weeks after planting, or just about the
time that the peas have begun to make
vigorous growth. Most gardeners
make the mistake of planting too many
radishes, or at least of planting too
many at one time and not being able
to use the product.
The old-fashioned method of growing
lettuce was to plant bed along one
side or in one corner Of the garden,
and when the plants were large
enough, to thin them, using the prod
uct rs needed and leaving the re-
mainder to grow larger. This method
of growing lettuce is not so desirable
as the plan Of planting it In rows,
where it can be more easily cultiyat-
ed. Lettuce is very susceptible to heat,
and it is difficult to grow it after the
weather has become hot. For this rea-
son it Is best grown as a spring and
a fall crop. Two or three paintings
at intervals of 10 days or 2 weeks
in spring and planting or two in
autumn SHOULD be sufficient for the
needs Of the ordinary family.
Planting Second Group.
The second group, including carrots,
sbeets, parsnips, radishes, satisfy,
wrinkled peas, spinach, swiss chard
and early sweet corn. may be planted
shortly before the probable time for
the last spring frost. The planting Of
these crops should be so timed that
they will escape frost and yet be
started just as early as possible. The
same planting methods should be fol
lowed as for the extremely early
crops.
The third group Of garden crops,
or those that should not be planted
until after danger of frost is past,
includes cucumbers, muskmelons, okra,
snap beans, caulitlower, and well har-
dened tomato plants. The time of
setting tomato plants, however, will de-
pend on local conditions. If they are
not crowding each other too much In
the plant bed, 1t may pay to delay set
ting them in the open ground until
the air is thoroughly warmed. Little
is gained by planting tender plants
An the open ground too early.
The fourth group of plants, com
monty known as the heat-loving plants,
includes peppers, eggplant, Lima
beans, sweet potatoes, and summer
squash. These crops are easily in.
iured by cold nights and periods of
rainy weather, and it is always best
to delay planting them until safe
period has been reached. 1t should
be borne in mind that certain soils
warm up slowly in spying, and that
such plants as eggplant and peppers
are susceptible to injury from cold
soils.

RICH FERTILIZER

The cleanings from the poultry
house are valuable as a garden fer
tilizer. and these should be saved In
barrels or some other receptacle
where they can he kept reasonably dry
until they are spread upon the garden.

VEGETABLES NEED ROOM

One serious mistake made by
many gardeners is planting too
great a variety Of vegetables in
a small space, with consequent
crowding and poor growth, says
the United States Department Of
Agriculture 1t is much better
for the gardener whose space is
limited to plant a comparatively
few kinds Of vegetables, not
more than 10 Or IL out Of d pos
sible 80 Oh 60.

BROWN URGES STATE TO
MAKE OWN ARSENATE

ATLANTA, July Reconsideration
of a state-owned plant for the manu-
facture of calcium arsenate by which
it is believed the product could be
furnished to the farmers cheaper than
the present price of 9 cents. will be
asked by ]. j. Brown, commissioner
of agriculture, according to an an
nouncement made by Mr.. Brown
today.
The commissioner stated that he
would take up the proposition with
the agricultural committees of the
senate and house Immediately.
Mr.. Brown says there is mineral
deposit below Macon which is splen-
didly adapted to the manufacture OF
calcium arsenate, and by its manu-
facture there the farmers would be
saved heavy freight bills, the freight
being one of the chief items making
up the present price of calcium arsen-
ate.
1t also is said that the present sup
ply is not up to the demand of Geor-
gia farmers, who are fighting the
boil weevil, and this difficulty would
be obviated in the future by state
owned plant, as the product could be
furnished to Georgia farmers exclu-
sively unless there was a surplus.

TEXASTO MAKE
GOOD COTTON

1--WE are in for better times" said
E. E. Cook, of Plains, agent for the
Missouri State Life Insurance Co.,
today. 81 am just back from st.
Louis where more than 800 agents
from SO states of the company were
in session, all being men who had
written in a 12-month period $780,
600 life insurance or more.
'After the convention we had a
wonderful trip down the Mississippi
river and next year we go to Califor-
MIA and down the coast and through
the Panama canal.
"The crops in the Middle West are
fine, our agents reported" continued
Mr.. Cook. 'In Texas they are go
ing to make a good cotton crop, the
late rains having greatly improved
the prospects for that section. In
Oklahoma they will make good crop
in half the state, while in the other
half the prospects are bad. West

reports have come out of Texas that
the state will make a failure this
year in cotton. Our men from there
deny this and l think our people
should know the facts.
"The reports of general financial
conditions over the country were
surprising. Every one is looking for
good times from now on, for awhile
anyway. Our company alone wrote
100 millions of life insurance more
the past fiscal year than ever before.
That's a good sign of firm read
justment.
"Our immediate section of Geor-
gia is in so much better shape than
other sections of the state that I feel
we should all carry a smile continu-
ously. It's so good that l am sure
of writing more insurance this next
II months than ever before"

SHOW AND DINNER FOR
SOLONS, ATLANTA PLAN

ATLANTA, July 11.-Members of
the Georgia General Assembly will
be given an official entertainment
by the City of Atlanta that will be
different from parties of the past, If
Mayor Key has his way about it.
The mayor, comforting with Coun-
Gilman j. r. Seawright over the ma
ture of the entertainment opposed a
barbecue, declaring the legislators
had been subjected to that form of
function too frequently.
The mayor plans to give the law
makers a dinner and vaudeville en-
tertainment at the city auditorium.
For the purpose of discussing pre-
liminary details he invited Major D.
f. McClatchey, secretary of the Geor-
gia state senate; Lucian York, Fred
Houser and R. E. Harvey to his of
fees today.
Council has appropriated $500 to
a fund to entertain the legislators
during their present session.

LOBBYISTSFIND
BUSINESS Dull

ATLANTA, July 11.-Old time
lobbyists say that business in their
line is worse than they ever knew
before. Some of them have gone
home in disgust.
One of the most widely known lob
byists, who said last year that his
liquor bill was 500 day, says that
this year he can hardly get near
enough GA legislator to offer him a
cigar.
The tax question is holding the
center of the legislative stage. The
repealers who are trying to abolish
the tax equalization law are having
a hard time. They said they were
going to repeal the law the first dag
of this session. One-fourth of the
session has slipped away and they
have not even started debate on the
measure.
1t is just beginning to dawn on
the repealers that the patrons and
friends of the 1000 public schools
are blocking them. The repealers
had everything their way until the
senate woke up to the fact that re-
peal would cut down the states in
come 100000 a year, would wreck
the common schools and deprive the
Confederate veterans of their pen
sions. "a. 81
When people. realized that repeal
ing the. law would cut the schools
to 8 months a year, a thunderous
roar of protest went up. Scores of
county commissioners added their OBJ
jections. They said that repeal of
the equalization law would stop their
county improvements. They knew
that if the small counties cut their
tax returns by thousands of dollars,
the big counties would cut theirs by
tens of millions, that the lis or 12O
counties which have been drawing
more out of the state treasury than
they pay in, would be hard hit
tt develops that there is strong
and closely banded organization of
taxpayers in more than two-thirds OF
the counties who are trying to pre-
vent repeal. They are accusing can
didates who favor repeal, with trying
to break down public schools and cut
the Veterans out of their pensions.
And that is some handicap for can
didate to carry.
