QUESTION AND ANSWER DEPARTMENT
The Journal desires to increase the us.fuln.ss of its agricultural
pages in every possible way. For this purpoao, the department of inquirlss
and answere is to ba greatly enlarged. Any Information pertaining to
•TTicrltnre. the proper tillage of tn. eoll. the proper uee of fertilizers,
•esdirg for crope. stock and cattle breeding, poultry raising—and in fact,
all subjects pertaining to the farm upon which information may be
sought or practical suggestion. offered, will be pubUehed in theae columns.
We request our readers to use these pages freely. We will endeavor
to furnish information, if the questions are asked. Letters addressed to
fir Andrew M Soule. President State Agricultural College, Athens. Ga„
will receive prompt attention, and the replies will be published in The
Serai-Weekly Journal.
THE FUNCTION OF
part I.
The high school 1* a peculiarly Amer
ican institution. It is an outgrowth o?
the old English grammar school and the
private academy which at one time pro
vided the character of training regarded
fur so long as essential to prepare for
entrance to the university. When the
people of the republic decided to inaugu
rate a scheme of universal education, it
became necessary to establish a connect
ing link through the agency of the state
between the common schools and the in
ti Hutton* of higher learning, and out of
this necessity has grown what we now
denominate the high school.
Educational progress along any line is
comparatively slow, and it is not sur
prising that the high school as now or
ganised has seemed to answer its pur
pose fairly well up to the present time.
But now the nation faces an entirely new
».< of conditions due to the marked
changes which have taken place along
economic and industrial lines. On this
account it becomes necessary to dis
tir ctly differentiate and enlarge the work
of these institutions. The purpose of
education is to prepare for life and so
• train the child that he may successfully
overcome the contingencies which follow
in the wake of our complex civilisation.
To do this the high school must be
something besides a connecting link, as
commonly understood between our ele
mentary and higher scheme of education
or fad of its mission and necessitate the
establishment of distinctly vocational
schools. This is undesirable and unne
cessary. will militate against the develop
ment of the high school, and serve no
useful purpose which these institutions
may not fulfill.
• Gs the eighteen million children or
school age in the United States, about
one miilton are in secondary schools,
’’ins is certainly a small percentage of
, tne scholastic population and a condi-;
tion which should be remedied. It is per-;
tment to ask. why such a comparative-
I y small proportion of the rising genera
tion enter the high school? The great
majority of people must earn their own
living, and in the towns and cities where
the "pinch of poverty” is most keenly |
felt, the great majority of boys and girls
begin the earning of their livelihood be-
: tween the ages of ten and twelve. Wit
less the children of both sexes at work
In a department store, for instance, and

viction. This is a potent reason why
• larger numbers are not found in the
' ac-'ondary schools, but it is not the most
inpertant. for undoubtedly the parents
of more than one boy or girl in 18 are |
financially able and would gladly send i
them to a secondary school if they felt
that adequate benefit would be derived
horn the instruction secured. A vivid
imagination Icafis boys and gtris to de
sire an active life, and the study of
books for the sake of books is not as
generally appreciated by children as
their elders sometimes s*em to think, i
T?e work of the high school up to this ■
t'me has been chiefly of a bookish na-i

to secure even a nidimentary insight in- |
to vocational studies, and yet It Is ap- >

THE HIGH SCHOOL
uates and seeks employment In a given
, < industry, he becomes proflcient more
, quickly, and his progress is rapM on
flat account. It is surprising there.*
' fore, that technical schools of every
‘character, and which are often doing
j work of a very elementary nature, cei
i tainly not of a higher grade than might
, i be performed by the high school, are
! I overcrowded, and parents exhibit the
I greatest anxiety to place their children
1 in such institutions in preference to the
I high school. It is for this reason, in trie
' judgment of the writer, that the high
school is not more generally patronized.
, and that when patronized, a majority of
those entering leave before they have
half completed the course of instruction.
The failure to properly correlate the
> high school with life and make It some
thing more than a stepping stone to the
university accounts in large measure for
the proportionately small number of boys
and girls who pursue instruction there
in.
According to the report of the Unit
,! ed States commissioner of education
for 1909, there were 308,161 students
tin all departments in our institutions
jof higher learning. Os this number.
'182,477 students were of collegiate
j grade. Notice what a large per cent
[were in preparatory departments or
doing work below collegiate standards.
Less than one in five of those in the
. high schools seemed to have entered
lan institution of higher learning ac-
I cording to these statistics. Surely
i there is something radically wrong

' in the high school at tfi'e present time.
lor they would be more liberally pat
• ronized in a country justly celebrat*
’ cd for its scheme of universal educa
-1 tion.
J What, then, is the true function or
; the American high school? First, it
; should prepare students for college. It
lis fundamental that we have leaders,
and our leaders must be carefully and
I thoroughly trained. a nation suc
• ceeds in proportion to the preparation
;of its leaders. This is witnessed by
I the fact that Germany with unfavor
able soil and climatic conditions main
tains a population of 300 persons per
square mile, and in the past quarter
of a century has become a great world
power. The high school course shout
not be impaired, therefore, in so rar
as its utility Is concerned In preparing
men and women to receive a university
education. Just what is necessary,
however, to prepare men and women
for university training may properly
be a matter for careful consideration
Possibly some of the subjects now re
garded as essential may be modltiea
|<r abandoned altogether when voca
-1 tional studies are introduced Into the
high schools. Tne particular line or
work in which the student listens to
specialize may Influence the university
entrance requirements very materially.
There is no reason, for instance, why
three lines of vocational training
should not be put in the high school;
1 first, domestic science and art; sec
; ond, manual training; and tnlrd, agrl
' culture. The boy or girl who pursues
I any one of these courses when prop
i early organized and directed will have
(attained as much vital knowledge, re
ceived as much discipline, and he quite
as capable of carrying on university
I work as those who have merely pur
' sued some of what are generally re
* as the fundamental studies, be
cause they are of ancient origin. There
is no reason why the standard of the
university should not be modified to
1 permit of the boy or girl receiving en
trance credits to the extent of from
one to three units for proper vocation-
I al training In any of the subjects men-
I tinned. This might have been consider
ed radical at one time, but there Is a
distinct movement in this direction at
: present, and It can not be cons‘dered
so radical as the actual abandonment
• of language training in technical courses

DESTROYING TICKS ON CATTLE.
F. C., Calhoun, Ga., writes: My cat
tle are covered with the cattle tick.
Please advise me how to treat them;
also how to rid cattle of warts.
—. *
I The best way of ridding your cat
! tie of the tick depends a great deal
lon the number of cattle you have ano
the condition of your farm. If ticks
I exist in all your pastures and you
■ have only a few cattle, the best wav
I to get rid of the ticks would be to
■ round up the cattle every three days
. and pick them off and burn all tne

. If you have too many cattle to handle
•in this way, then the easiest manner
'to get rtd of the ticks would be to
■ build a long, narrow chute, drive the
cattle Into It once a week and spray
them with an emulsion of crude Beau
mont oil, or grease them with a mix
ture of oil and sulphur made in the
1 following proportion: One gallon ot
•cotton seed oil, one gallon of kerosene
• oil and one pound ot sulphur. After
. getting all the ticks off the cattle by

i the beginning of warm weather, the
' ticks may soon be got rid of by any ot

A good way to treat warts is to clip

SAVE YOUR COTTON!
The Application of 100 Lbs. Per Acre of
NITRATE OF SODA
PRACTICALLY MEANS CROP INSURANCE
From all over the Cotton Belt come reports of seriois
and, in some districts, permanent damage, due to the wet,
cold weather. Replanting of an enormous acreage will be
• /
necessary.
To secure anything like a full yield, this handicap must
be overcome. It would seem impossible to do so entirely,
but the surest method is the adoption of means to force the
crop.
This can be done (1) by thorough and frequent culti
vation; (2) application of additional fertilizers, and (3)
the continuation of cultivation later than usual.
To give frequent and thorough cultivation is the
most difficult of these steps in the case of a large number
of farmers who find themselves with a scanty supply of
labor. In such instances it might be advisable to aban

Animal vs. Vegetable.
There is not a single kind of animal
food which we might not replace with
a vegetable counterpart. In most cases
it is merely a matter of choice which is
preferable, the animal or the vegetable.
In the matter of cooking fats, however,
the vegetable has far the advantage.
Lard is made from the fat of hogs.—-
often impure and unclean, always indi
gestible. Cottolene comes from the cot

food that can be digested with ease,

PLANT FOOD RE-QI IKED BY MEL
ON b.
V. L. J., Alpharetta, Ga., rites: I
wish some information concerning the
preparation and fertilization of land for
melons. We have some sandy, loamy
branch bottom, ana some sandy loamy
upland on whicn we wish to plant mel
ons. Is it necessary to subsoil? fv'liat
kind of fertilizer should he used. When
melons come thick on the vines should
some of them be taken off so as to get
larger ones?
Cantaloupes, watermelons and cucum
bers require prac,.rally the same kind
of soil and fertilizer. Che land best
adapted to these crops is a light, rich
sanry loam. Good yields will never be
secured on wet soils until they are un
derdrained. Melons also require heavy
fertilization as a rapid growth is essen
tial to success, r resh ianas generally
prouuce good crops or melons, it is
first, necessary to plow your tana tor
this crop very carefully and put the
soil In excellent tilth. Labor expended
in cultivation will be well repaid. Next
lay off the land in hills by cross fur
rowing. The hills may be from 6 to 19
feet apart in 'each direction, depending
on the richness of the soil. A forkful or
two of well-rotted yard manure snouid
be mixed with the soil where the fur
rows cross. Fertilize with at least 1,000
.o ~?90 pounds per act«- or a mixture
wl wb contains not less than 3 per cent
of nitrogen. 8 per cent of phosphoric
acid and 6 per cent of potash. A hand
ful in egeli hill will ne about the right
amount to use. Tbe fertilizer and ma
nure should be well mixed with the soil
before planting. To make a fertilizer
containing the cerpentages mentioned
mix together 1,006 pounds of 16 per cent
acid phosphate, 20. i pounds of muriate
of potash, too pounds of nitrate of soda
and 700 pounds of cotton seed mean The
use of nitrate of soda as a top dressing
will hasten the growth. To socur® large

ULEARLKG OF BOTTOM LANDS.
C. J. P„ Oak Park, Ga., writes; I have
some low bottom land containing a lot
of sand with a grayish clay subsoil.

O. I. C. hogs?
If we had your problem we would
gnu, out the largest of the shrubs and
l bushes, and then plow the land with a
j two-horse turning plow, going down as
deeply as possible so as to get under
| the main portion of the roots and bring
1 them to the surface. We would work
them out with a disk and a harrow and
' burn. It may be necessary to use three
1 or four horses or mules to the plow in
i order to go deep enough and do the work
1 effectively. Where the roots are some
' size a grading plow or subsoiler may

you should have other grazing crops

PLANTING VELVET BEANS AFTER
OATS.
J. W. J„ Monroe. Ga., writes: How
late can velvet beans be planted on sec
ond bottom after oats? The oats will
be ready for harvest from the Ist to the
10th of June.
Velvet beans will not mature seed in
north Georgia: at least with any degree
of certainty. We have had pods form on
the College farm, and possibly a few of
the seeds might have germinated if they
had been tested. In south Georgia and
in Florida this is an important crop,
yielding freely, and producing a bean
which, when ground, furnishes a fine
quality of meal for feeding to various
classes of live stock. In north Georgia
the velvet bean is chiefly useful as a soil
renovating crop and for pasture, since it
is doubtful if it will mature sufficiently
in your latitude to make a satisfactory
quality of hay. You can plant the vel
vet bean after oats and it will make »
tremendous growth before cold weather
sets in and furnish much grazing for
bogs and cattle. The refuse can then
be plowed under for the improvement
of the soil. If you decide to grow a .
legume for a grain crop, you will find
either the cowpea or some of the earlier |
maturing varietiies of soy beans the I
best crops to use. The medium green I
soy bean should mature if planted not
later than the 10th of June, and will
yield anywhere from 15 to 25 or more |
bushels of seed per acre. Tbe seeds are
very rich in protein, and when ground
can be fed with advantage to hogs and
cattle.

Growing Potatoes Successfully'
In growing potatoes a system of rotation I
should be followed in which potatoes follow (
clover on a carefully prepared seed bed.
Potato fields should have good drainage.
Potatoes will stand less excess of moisture
I than most farm crops, and uolcss there is nat
ural drainage resort should be had to artificial
drainage.
For planting potatoes, select If powlble. a
northern slope, since the crop will suffer less
on such slope during hot. dry weather.
Do not use tbe same soil that scabby potatoes
have be«n raised on for a number of years.
Soil that has produced a crop of scabby pota
toes should be used for some other -rop for
several years because the scab spores live over
in tbe soil and will attack subsequent potato
crops for five or six years afterward.
A sandy loam toil usually produces potatoes
of a Iwtter quality than the heavier roll. It
remains more mellow, giving the potatoes a
chance to become more shapely and making
them easier to dig. Heavier soil sometimes
yields larger results because of its greater fer
tility. bo,: the tubers are more subject t®
brown ror in such soil than in sandy loam.
