OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE o. THOMAS

ed on one row, I wish that all OF you
could take that weekly, it always
has something worth the dollar that
it costs for a years subscription,
[ see the writer that taught me
that it must not be planted in single
rows also says, Sweet corn must
never be planted in single isolated
rows, as this is the cause Of the
poorly filled ears. To insure perfect
filled ears it should be grown IN
blocks of several rows so that fertill-
cation will be complete,
early dwarf varieties which grow
not more than four or five feet high
may be planted in rows two and
half feet apart though three feet is
better, if you have the room to
spare. Tall growing sorts need three
and a half or four feet between the
rows
AS tell you every year, we plant
Golden Bantam, several rows, and
the same day we plant Hickory
King. 1t is not, strictly speaking,
sweet corn, but if gathered early is
delicious, and it comes exactly on
time to take the place of the last or
the sweet corn.
The Progressive Farmer says Tor
all garden growers to get acquainted
with a new vegetable this year. 1t
is good advice and a dime spent for
sweet corn will be we'll invested
Make up your mind to plant enough
tomatoes, beans and ollra to can
plenty. And of course you will not
neglect the caiUbages. With chick

most of the farmers depended on
cotton for the money crop.

Shall She Marry Her Fiance While
He Is Poor or Wait Until He Be
comes Successful?-The Small
Town Girl Who Can't Scare
Up a Beau--The Girl Whose
Fiance Won't Marry Her

Tor Years ana Years
N EAR MISS DIX am twenty
years old and engaged to a
young man one year my sem
Tor. We love each other very dearly.
L have a steady position, and so has
my friend. He is poor, but there
arc great many chances for adj
VanCement for him. He is very en-
erGetic, very fond of his work, and
is always trying to save money.
Would you advise me to marry him
and help him get to the top of the
hill or wait until he gets there and
then marry him?
UNDECIDED.
Answer advise you to do BOTH
Wait until he gets his feet well set
on the upclimb and then marry him.
But do not wait until he gets to
the top, for in that way you will
miss the keenest joy that fate can
give any woman who loves her man,
and that is climbing up with him.
You are both very young; too
young to marry, anyway, no matter
how much money you had. If you
marry now before your boy sweet
heart has got a good start, you will
be a handicap to him.
When opportunity knocks at the
door you have to unlock it with a
golden key to let your good luck in,
and this you cannot do if it has
taSen every cent that the boy hus-
band las been able to earn to sup
port his family Therefore, the
poor man who marries too early
nearly always stays just where he
was when he took unto himself q
wife. He has had no chance to save
up anything, no chance to get ahead.
He hasn't even dared to give up a
bad position in order to look for
a better one, because there was a
wife and baby at home to whom
even meager pay envelope meant
food and shelter. So wait a few
years until your sweetheart has ac-
cumulated little stake, then marry
hirl.
Fate gives women no greater hap
piness than that of knowing that
she Is really helping the man she
loves, and that she is not only his
inspiration, but his working partner
No husbands and wives are so
close together as those who plan
and dream together, who fight Shout
der to shoulder like good comrades,
who are absorbed by the same amhi-
lions and struggle to the same goal.
Such an experience YIELDS them into
one, as richer husbands and wives
never are who have different aims
ard aspirations, different friends
and even different amusements.

APRIL
There's a slice O. sunshine slantln
Through a rift in yonder cloud;
An a pair O. jays are rantin'
At each other pretty loud!
There's a mockin' catbird singin'
In the orchard over there,
An the orioles a-swingin'
On the poplar-I'll declared
There's a fat OF nestin' robin
Pullin' angle-worms apart,
An I can't tell which Is throbbin'
prior my heart!
oh, spose Wen have some weather
Yet, afore tn spring is done
But the birds an me together
Amt much fooled on April one!
w. Greenough, in Country Gen
tleman.
! suspect all of us are rejoicing
that there is q probability Of more
sunshine than we have had for the
past two months, we will rejoice in
every bit that comes filtering down
and when the clouds obscure it we
can remember that behind the clouds
the sun still shines and will make
the best Of the cloudy day.
| often think of a conversation
that I heard between two girls. One
had been saving every cent that she
possibly could pinch off her expenses
to go to the beach during her vaca-
ton. L suppose she really worked
too hard for the week before she
should have had the vacation she
was taken very sick and had to go
to the hospital. That took the money
that she had saved.
The firm she worked for continued
her salary during her illness, so she
was not destitute when she came
out, but she could not go to the place
she had counted on all the first of
the year.
Another girl said, "You were
lucky to have the money to pay your
way in the hospital"
II don't know whether I was or
not" said she, II did without so
much to save that money that I
could not enjoy being waited on"
And sometimes it seems that many
Of us do without the sunshine so
much that it almost makes us merry.
Gus to have it for day or so.
But that sort of thinking does not
tarry with us very long. The few
days Of sunshine that we had last
week gave us all sorts Of flowers. As
l look out of my window, while writ
ing these lines, see great banks of
snowy blossoms, in the corner is the
violet bed, and all along the fence a
row of narcissus is making me
ashamed that [ ever grumbled about
anything.
There is not a sign of green in
the garden, except the little bed of
mustard, lettuce, and rape that was
planted in February and is Just now
putting out the second leaves. We
have peas, Irish potatoes, beets,
onions and turnips planted, but they
are waiting for more than a day or
so of sunshine. I will be glad when
sweet corn, tomatoes, okra, eggplant
can be started.
Many times I have bought sweet
corn for friends, because / wanted
them to see what a treat they were
missing, and they did not have the
success with it that we always en-

Grand total 81 $4,000
We have done better. Our grain
yields were low and hay was poor.
We lost forty hogs with cholera. but
high cotton prices will not induce
us to put all our land into possible
Weevil food.
Thus it can be seen that Rev.
Walters has more than made cot
ton ALL PROFIT by the use of
other crops to pay opera ting ex-
penses.
A Tenant Farmer Who Is Making
Money
During the past two years when
most farmers were complaining that
they could not make anything on the
farm, Mr.. Alva j. Morgan, who lives
in CoWeta county, Georgia, near
Senoia, has always claimed to be
making money. and he has been able
to show the county agent that this
is true with facts and figures.
When the boil Weevil came in
force, Mr.. Morgan decided that the
best way to beat him was to starve
him. He knew no better way to do
this than with the use of cows, hogs,
chickens, a good garden, a home or
chard, and working to improve his
soil. He has also adopted as a side
line the growing Of plants for sale.
He sells some oats, wheat, crimson
clover seed, and sweet notatoes. In
addition, he raises enough corn and
velvet beans to feed his cows, hogs,
and poultry.
He is young man and works rent
ed land. This year, 1923, he started
to run tWo-horse crop, but the
negro hired hand quit him early in
the year. Consequently, he has had
the work of the farm to do himself.
His labor expense, including the
wages Of the hand who left him, was
$500. He spent $4,000 for fertiliz-
er.
Owing to lack OF help and short
age of feed, the cows were disposed
of about the first of June. Mr.. Nor
gan has not permanently given up
the milking of cows, however, but
he says he has learned three lessons
Of which he will make use when he
starts to milking again.
l. To have feed enough in the barn
for at least nine months
2. To use only high producing
cows.
3. To sell his products in the shape
of sour cream.
His crop production was as fol.
lows.
Seven acres Of oats, 1S9 bushels.
Seven acres of wheat, 81 bushels.
Eleven acres Of corn, 220 bushels.
Fodder, 700 bundles.
One acre sweet potatoes after
crimson clover, 225 bushels.
Seven acres hay, 4 tons.
Two acres crimson clover, 1880
pounds seed.
Straw, one ton.
He keeps rs Barred Plymouth
Rock hens and sells most of the eggs
to the hatchery at zoe above the
Atlanta market price. He had an
average Of three cows at the pail up
to June /, and sold sweet milk and
cream and butter, delivering them to
his patrons in Sonoit, about two miles
away. His hogs were sold mostly as
fresh, or cured. meat.

penses, which have been made on
the farm. He may have been some
what better located than others for
the sale of some of his commodities,
particularly plants, but almost any
one could develop some kind of
side-line crop.
Cotton His AlI-PrOfit Crop
The following statement was pre-
pared and signed by Mr.. A. j. Shep-
pard for the county agent of Clay
county:
I'm the month Of December. 1922.
I mapped out a plan by which l
could, If nothing prevented, make
cotton a cash crop by the use OF
cows, hogs, chickens, a home orch
ard, and a farm garden. That Is,
make them pay the running eX-
penses and furnish home needs.
Each and every fall and winter
we killed sufficient meat to run the
place, consisting of four plows, thus
saving the expense of buying meats
for my hands during the spring and
summer, which saves the time and
labor of going to town after these
commodities each week or month
We generally kill an average of 500
pounds for each plow or about $50
in value.
Each hand on the place is given
r COW to milk, thus a saving of at
least SIS is made on his grocery bill,
and, if by chance, he has an over
plus of butter, he is allowed to mar
ket it.
Each hand is allotted so much
land TO be put in cotton and so
much in peanuts, and, since the year
1920. each hand has had his cotton
as cash. after the expenses had been
paid. If the farmers of Clay county,
or any other county, would see that
hogs are killed for meat and one
cow is allowed for each pillow. the
expenses per pillow would be reduced
at least 60 per cent, and in the fall
at gathering season, you can readily
see where the hogs and cow saved
the day and allowed the landowner
as we'll as the tenant a surplus.
I'VE keep chickens as a maiute-
nance crop. using Barred Plymouth
Rocks. Thirty hens and two roost-
ers are kept in the yard. This flock
OF hens has paid us as follows: In
the year 1922. we cleared over and
above all expenses the sum OF
$155.35. or an average of $5.11 per
hen. In the year 1928, we cleared
the sum OF S162.17. or an average
of $5.+0 per hen.
Chicken feed is as important as
cotton to us, and we plant differ
ent varieties in order to have a
