Macon, Ga., Sept. 12.—A. I Freedlander, President and Gen era! Manager of The Day tor Rubber Manufacturing Companv pioneer manufacturers of auto tires and belts, was here toda for a conference with officials of Bibb Manufacturing Company ir connection with the discovery of an entirely new principle in pro cessing cotton ‘ for tire fabric which promises to double the life of automobile tires, according to information released today. “Five years ago,”' said Mr. Freedlander, “our Company de cided that it was essential to # raise the critical temperature of cotton fabric so that it/ would have greater heat resistant quali ties. Heat ik the disintegrating factor in a tire or belt and with the higher present-day speeds 6f automobiles, tires, and fan belts generate greater heat. Failure of automobile tires from blow-out, with consequent increase in ac cidents and deaths on the high ways, presented a problem the solution of which was of world wide importance. “The Bibb Manufacturing Com pany undertook the problem of developing a cotton cord which would maintain strength and safety factors under high tem peratures, and practical develop ment work has been carried on for the past five years. During this period over 90 different cord fabrics were produced and sub mitted for tests of every conceiva- ble nature. “Over the past 25 years,” Mr. Freedlander pointed out, “we have experimented with every known material and our tests on the road and in laboratory prove that Heat Resistant Cotton Cord produces the most satisfactory results, not only for extremely long life in tires, but, what is of more importance, a very high degree of safety. “Until the discovery of the new method of processing cotton un der which Heat Resistant Cord is . now produced, no one could tell the condition of the inside of a tire, that is the carcass, at any time throughout its life. No'one could determine the amount of deterioration, which takes place progressively. Naturally, the only, inspection possible was on the outside. “Now, for the first time,” Mr. COMING IN PERSON TO TOWNS LISTED BELOW DR. L. N. HUFF Dr. L. N.

The White Egg is a good variety for both salad and turnip. It is too late now for sowing ruta baga turnips except in the south ern part of the State. Purpletop Yellow Aberdeen is one of the best winter varieties. Try the Japanese foiliage tur nip for salad greens and turnips. It is offered to the trade under a number of different variety names. Some seed houses offer it under the name of Shogoin. Make Plantings Of: Onions (seed)—Yellow Globe Danvers, Prizetaker, White Pearl. Australian Brown—Sow September 20 to October 20. Onions (sets)—Yellow Globe Danvers, Prizetakers, White Pearl, Australian Brown. Cabbage (seed)—For frost-proof plants — Charleston Wakefield, Succession and Late Flat Dutch, j Cabbage (Plants) — Charleston i Wakefield. Try a few for winter use. Kale—Siberian Curled. Parsley—Moss Curled. Radishes’—Scharlet Globe or Rapid Forcing—for winter use, China Rose and Long Black Spanish. Mustard — Giant Southern Curled. Turnips—Japanese Foliage and Seven Top for salad only. Turnips—Purple Top and White Egg for turnips. Spinach—Aragon and Virginia Savoy. Lettuce—Big Boston, New York, and Migonette. Watch For Insects! Turnip Lice: Spray with nico tine sulfate, three-fourths pint and five pounds of soap to 100 gallons of water, or two teaspoon fuls and one ounce of soap to one gallon of water. Cultivate and clean up ground where vegetables have matured. Decaying vegetables and vegeta ble plants are likely to increase disease and insect damage next season. Matilda Bell, Co. Home Dem.

Do not let them become Garden Work For September Keep all the garden crops grow- stunted for lack of sufficient food. Nitrogen is the most needed food for the garden crops, and an a- bundant and readily available supply should be on hand at all times. Nearly always the garden crops can be much benefited by application of sulfate of ammonia or nitrate of soda. Scatter some three or five inches from the base of the plant, and cover with a shallow cultivation. It will usually pay well. Suggestions Gather the mature lima beans every week and store them away for winter use. Cabbage plants may be secured from plant growers now and transplanted to the garden or field during September and October. These plants, under favorable conditions will produce headed cabbage in December. They may be used of course as greens before the heads are formed. We recommend Charles ton Wakefield, Succession, and Perfection Drumhead Savoy. The Savoy will stand more cold than any other variety. Are you growing your own cab bage plants for early spring set ting? Seed should be sown the last of September or early At the chicken supper which was held at the Buffalo school building last Thursday night by the Buffalo-Bellvue Home Demon stration Club for the benefit of the Buffalo Church cemetery fund quite a nice sum was realized for that purpose.
