Planting Second Crop Irish Potatoes
A. Z. K, Griffin, Ga, writes:
When should fall Irish pota-
toes be planted and what kind
OF fertilizer should be used?
Can snap beans and bush lima
beans be planted now? My land
is q good loan with clay foun-
dation. Cotton was on the land
last year.
Fall Irish potatoes should be
planted Immediately. We would
seed them in drills four feet apart,
using small second-crop potatoes for
splanting and which show viable
eyes. Plant in the bottom of a
deep, rather wide furrow. The more
vegetable matter you can get into
the soil the better. Put some fer
tilizer under the drill row, but away
from the potato sets. Use for
mula containing 4 per cent nitro
gen, 8 per cent phosphoric acid and
3 per cent potash. Side applications
throughout the growing season can
be used to advantage. Five hun
dred pounds of fertilizer is the
standard amount used by most po-
tato growers. The drill row should
not % less than 3.5 feet apart and
Is inches apart in the drill. Look
out Mountain, or the seed saved
from an early crop of Bliss or Irish
Cobbler potatoes will be found sat-
isfactory.
We do not think it desirable to
plant bunch lima beans at this sea-
son. though they might develop and
make a good crop. in a faVOra BILE
season. This crop should as a rule
be planted early in the spring, as
they will live all through the sum-
mer and bear UP until killing frosts
occur.
Snap beans should be planted now.
I plant snap beans in rows Is inches
apart and leave the beans about s
inches in the drill. l put in enough
seed OF insure a good stand and
then thin out to the degree inGi-
Gated.
1t takes about 7 to 10 bushels of
Irish potatoes to plant an acre, and
about one-third of bushel of beans.
The fertilizer suggested for Irish
potatoes should be found satisfac-
tory for other garden and truck
crops. Garden land cannot be made
too rich in vegetable matter, there
fore heavy applications of we'll
rotted yard manure are desirable.
You will have no trouble in Sc
curing garden seeds from any re-
liable grower. All of them put out
fall catalogues at this season of the
year.
Proper Spacing of Pecan Trees
f. H, Commerce, Ga, writes:
1 wish to set out a small pecan
grove. and am told that the trees
should be set sixty feet apart.
Is this correct? Should anything
be planted between the trees
and what are the best varie-
ties?
1t is desirable that pecan trees be
widely spaced so as to give the tree
an opportunity to make a large de-
velopment when it attains its full
growth. The pecan tree is a fairly
rapid grower, especially when bud
ded stock is planted OF course this
Is the only kind of tree that should
be set out. On fertile land, we would
advise spacing the trees sixty feet
apart. On thinner soils, fifty feet

Through Advertising Aims
of New Body Organized in
Albany

ALBANY, Ga, July 6.-Announce-
ment was made Thursday of a new
cooperative marketing association
for pecans, following an all-day con-
ference Wednesday of leading pecan
growers Of the south, held here. r.

vent dumping of the crop on the
market at the period of lowest prices
by the substitution of orderly mar
keting, and to stimulate the con-
sumption of pecans and pecan prod
ucts throughout the country and
abroad by advertising, demonstration
and other methods that will be work
ed out.
Big Market in Prospect
As the papershell pecan of the inn
proved grated and budded varie-
ties is comparatively little known in
many parts of the country and the
world, there is said to be an almost
unlimited opportunity for the open
ing up of new and profitable mar
kets for the king of nuts" AS
there are hundreds OF thousands Of
acres planted to pecans in what is
known as the Albany district" this
CITY is considered the logical point
for headquarters of the new organi-

to 90 ahead with plans for perma-
nent organization to be ready to

It was state dthat the acreage con-
trolled by the men in the meeting
would produce more than one mil

Dear Children: This morning we
heard the greatest fuss in our yard,
such chirping and calling of birds
[ looked out of the side window and
there, lying in a soft ball of black
and white fur, was a big tabby cat
Above this cat in tree had con-
gregated at least a dozen birds. blue
jays, robins, cardinals, and, of
course, sparrows, on the topmost
limbs sat the mokingbird. OF course
we knew that the trees were full of
nests, and most probably young
birds, and these older birds were
calling for help.
We have a little brown dog. She
never catches a cat, but she does
make the biggest noise, so we let
her out. The old cat took one good
look at the puppy, stretched lazily,
and with great dignity walked away.
In a moment or so all was quiet
and peaceful in our bird world. The
puppy walked proudly in the house.
and you may be sure was rewarded
with a good breakfast.

Facts About the Horse Bean in

GeOrgia
w. J. j.. Americas, Ca
writes: What experience have
you had with the Lindsey John
son bean? L planted a row in
my garden and they are about
matured, and they seem to be
making heavy yield. Do you
think it will pay to raise them
on a large scale?
Our experience with e-bean to
which you refer has not been extern
siVe up to the present time. This
bean is a variety known as the
Horse" bean, and it is named for
the grower who has most extensive
ly cultivated and disseminated it in
this country. 1t has created a great
deal of interest because the seed are
very high in price and relatively
scarce. Very great claims have been
made for this bean, but as yet, the
Horse" bean has not found a per-
manent place in our agriculture.
They are cultivated to some extent
i'll q few sections, where they are
primarily used for human food.

brought their knowledge of this
bean over with them from the Eu.
ropean countries from which they
emigrated. 1t is too early yet to say
of what value this variety of bean
will be to the agriculture of Geor-
gia. IT it demonstrates its desira BILE
qualities when cultivated on a large
scale, we can no doubt use it con.
siderable advantage in our agricul-
ture.

Dear Folks: The days are so warm
that it doesn't seem possible to think
or talk of anything except how to
keep cool.
OF course you cannot give up all
privacy in a house, even for cool
ing breeze, but one summer, just as
warm as this, we took down the
doors of the bed rooms and hung
dark calico curtains.
Now on first thought that seems
unsightly, but if you get a good fig
ure in your calico, it is not conspicu-
Gus, gives you privacy, yet allows
all the cool air that is going to be
in your bed rooms.
Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.
May: II the family of a girls fl
ance knows of the enga cement, they
will undoubtedly ask the girl to be
with them at the boys funeral. AS
to whether she wears mourning de-
ponds largely upon her taste in such
matters, and how soon she was to
marry. 1t would certainly make her
conspicuous if her engagement had
not been announced.
I believe you will have to send
your fox scarf to a regular furrier
to have the mouth piece replaced.
I could not read the name on your
request for books. Please send it to
me again.
Dolly: This column is for sensible
questions. A girl of fourteen should
be thinking of school, not marriage.
Mrs. r. G. L.: A piece of clean
white blotting paper and a hot iron
will probably remove the grease spot
from your silk dress. Put the dress
over your ironing board, slip a piece
of the blotting paper under the SHOT
and place one over the spot. Have
your iron hot. and when you put
the iron on the blotting paper the
heat will bring out the grease, which
will be absorbed. Some times it is
necessary to use more than one piece
of blotting paper, and it is always
necessary to have this piece of paper
large enough to keep the hot iron
from touching your silk.
G. r. w: You are correct in think
ing that a bias fold around a neck
sets much better than a straight. 1t
is often necessary to clip the bias
to keep it from pulling. Carefully
blind stitch the lower edge of this
fold on the wrong side of the gar
ment, and it will not show the
stitches. A very small cord about
the size of tufting thread, makes a
pretty finish to a plain neck and
sleeves.
Housewife: If You will get a piece
or outing flannel large enough to
make two covers for your broom, tie
one of these over your broom, and
then brush down YOUR walls. You
have no idea how this simplfes
cleaning. With two cloths. one can
always he clean and ready for use.
