Criminal Aoto Drivers.
Last week, an auto was upnet
on the Lincoln Highway about a
mile this side of St Thomas and
the lives of several people en
dangered, all because the driver
of another auto was traveling on
the wrong side of the road.
mat no one was Killed is no
credit to the offending driver who
passed on serenely after the
driver of the other car had done
what he could to avoid a collision,
with the result that his car skid
ded and turned turtle. This is
not the first nor the second com
plaint that has reached us about
drivers following the left hand
side of the road. It is nothing
short of criminal to drive over
cur crooked mountain roads in
that manner, and least of all is
there anything "smart" about
it
County Pays Nothing.
Free demonstrations of latest
and most efficient methods of
canning, drying and otherwise
preserving food have been offer
ed to all the counties of the
State. These demonstrations
are being held all over Franklin
county, and hundreds have at
tended some of them. AH that
is necessary to secure the same
for Fulton county is the announce
ment of places of meeting and
the loan of an oil stove. Farm
Bureaus in fifty-six counties have
made the arrangement for their
respective counties. Who will
do it for Fulton? Individual
members of the Public Safety
Committee cannot be expected to
do it at their own expense. The
object is twofold first to put
many dollars into the pockets of
our people, and .second, to in
crease the general food supply
of the country. It is money to
the County looking at the pro
positions from any angle. Shall
we miss all the good things of
fered? Lik the road proposi
tion, we are missing actual cash
(not less than 12,000.00) every
year that we spurn the State's
offer to pay most of the cost of a
County Agent
Do Not Boy It.
Do not buy fertilizers this year
that contain anything but acid
phosphate. If the price is based
on two or more ingredients, pass
it by. Common commercial fer
tilizers contain but three ingre
dients at most, namely, nitrogen,
(sometimes called ammonia)
phoshporic acid, and potash.
The carrier of nitrogen is worth
from $80 to $100 per ton, and the
common carrier of potash is
worth $600 because of war inter
erence. This is entirely too
much to pay to use them aa fer
tilizer, and a small fraction of
one per cent only adds to the
price and is of no "earthly" use
to a crop.
Cold Storage.
Readers of this paper have,
doubtless, noticed for many years
the high price of potatoes and the
scarcity of apples in this place
after the holidays, no matter
how plenty they were in the fall.
t has occurred to us many times
that a little fortun awaits the
man who will apply the well-
nown remedy, namely, proper
storage facilities in cooperation
with local producer.
Money ia It.
If our taste inclined to book
agency, we would want . nothing
better to sell to country people
next winter than a 300-page com
pilation of the actual experience
of thousands of back yard gard
eners who, in the year of 1917,
tried their hands at raising veg
etables for the first time. Stories
like the one about the woman
who "forgot to take the lids off"
when she planted her tomatoes
would sound tame. Some one
will write a funny book on that
subject and make a fortune out
of it.
