WHEAT CLUBS FUR GEORGIA
Every one is f.atr.lliar with the fa
mous boys’ and girls* clubs of Georgia,
and those who understand the paycho
logical effect flowing out of the work
; performed by these young people are
proud of the fact that the club move
ment started in Georgia. The effect of
the corn clubs ia generally recognised
and Is shown by the fact that our yield
of this important cereal has steadily in
creased for some years past. The suc
cess attending the pig and poultry clubs
and the canning clubs is too w-ell known
to call for a detailed explanation of
I the Importance or merit of the work ac
’ complished
In this hour of the nation's trial and
stress it is not surprising, therefore,
that it seems appropriate to launch
what are to be known as the Georgia
Wheat clubs for the purjiosc of in
ducing thousands of Georgia boys to
plant an acre or more of this important
j cereal which is now destined to exert a
determining influence on the outcome of
i the war. XV heat from time immemorial
[ has been the chief bread food of man.
It is not extensively gnown in any part
of Europe, and in many of the Allied
* countries is practically unknown. Con
ditions have been such that part of the
land in these countries could not be suc
cessfully cultivated. Unfavorable sea
sons have followed in succession, and
hence the supply of wheat produced
i has been below the minimum require
ment for the proper nourishment of the
j people of England. France and Italy.
In America we have been neglecting
wheat culture as well with the result
that there has been a decline in per
capita production for many years past.
In 18S0 we were producing about 8.5
bushels per capita. This year we will
produce less than six bushels. Since
the allied countries must look to us for
a part of their wheat supplies, it is
necessary that we increase production
this year if vze feed ourselves and the
countries de<>endent upon us. The time
has arrived, therefore, when every means
should be resorted to which will increase
the cultivation of wheat, and since the 1
boys and girls have done such effec
j tive work with corn, cotton and truck
crops, there is no reason why if their
effort is properly enlisted in wheat pro
duction an increase in this important ce
real should not be obtained, not only in
Georgia but all of the states of the
southeast. /
In the first place, /boys and girls
should recognize that in the growing
of wheat they are performing a dis
tinctly patriotic service, yet they arc not
working without the hope of a fine fi
nancial reward. It has been pretty well
established, for Instance, that it costs
about 79 cents to grow a bushel of
wheat, but as the government guaran
teed a price of $2 a bushel for 1918.
there is every reason to expect a profit
of around lo” per cent. Two dollars
would have been considered a phenome
nal price for wheat a few years ago.
and it is s very substantial price now.
There is no reason why from twenty to
twenty-five bushels should not be grown
per acre on land which has been proper
ly selected, prepared and fertilized. This I
would make a return of S4O to SSO per
acre on land which will probably other-,
wise remain ’die. Besides that, a most,
essential cereal would be produced, one, >
in fact, which we must have if the j
war is to be brought to a successful con
clusion. Every American, of course, be-;
lieves that Old Glory will triumph, butj
In order that this may be brought about 1
as quickly as possible, we must remem
bfcr that there are certain things which ,
we. as individuals, are specifically re-!
sponsible for. and one of these is the.
extensive cultivation of wheat.
Georgia boys who wish to become (
members of the wheat-growing clubs,
should remember that the’r enrollment |
must be sent in to their county agent
before December 1. They should, of
course, get the planting done earlier in
the season than this if it is practicable
to do so. Every boy Is eligible for mem- !
bership who is between the ages of ten
and eighteen. While this work is in-]
tended primarily for boys, girls will not I
be excluded if they wish to show their
patriotism by cultivating an acre or
more of wheat. Those who wish to be
come members of the wheat clubs
should remember to read all the litera
ture sent them by the county agent and]
to get the bulletins prepared and dis- j
tributed by the State College of Agricul- |
ture which gives them full advice about I
the planting and cultivating of this im- ■
portant crop. Every boy should remem- |
ber that he will be expected to keep a i
record of just what he has done. Rec
ord books have been prepared and will;
be sent on application to all boys. The I
boy shoud ask his father to help him 1
keep this record. It will interest the,
father in the work, and they can work,
together to good advantage, thereby not:
only increasing acreage in wheat, but
the yield and the profits as well.
Each boy desiring to join the wheat
club must raise at least one acre or
more of wheat. If he can grow five
or more acres so much the better. It i
is important to remember that the acre- I
age must be accurately ascertained. The
county agent will help those who do not
know how to measure land The acre
age should be determined at the time
of sowing and entered on the record
book at once. Do not leave anything I
to chance, but perform all of the work;
at the proper time. It is Important to I
remember that a good grade of seed'
should be selected. The bulletin of the j
State College of Agriculture referred to i
gives this information. Boys living in
i other states should apply to their agri- i
cultural college for special bulletins on 1
I this subject.
Each boy entering the wheat clubs,
will be required to exhibit a peck of'
grain at the county fair in the fall of;
ISIS. When the grain is harvested, a i
peck should be carefully selected and
properly stored to keep weevils out and
kept to be exhibited at the county fair.
The record of the year's work must also
accompany this exhibit. Boys desiring
to show grain should get In touch with
the county agent. He will help them to
standardize their exhibits and tell them
where to show. The work of the club
nembers will be scored on the following
basis: Yield 30 points, profit .30 points,
exhibit of one peck of wheat 20 points,
required report 20 points. Emphasis
will be laid on the completeness and ac
; curacy of the report submitted. The
best ten exhibits from each county fair
I' will be selected to be sent to tne various :
*tate fairs. The club members wnose j
exhibits are selected to send to the state
fairs will constitute the county team
Prizes will be offered at these fairs to
county teams.
Which county in Georgia or any other,
of the southeastern states will lead in
he number of Jcres planted io wheat?
Here is an opportunity for every boy to
show his patriotism. I feel sure the
fathers will encourage and help them.
The government has asked the people of
the south to grow all the wheat they

• need for home consumption so that the
i transportation problem by which the
; coutnry is confronted may be mitigated
■ to some extent, and that the crop raised
in other sections of the country may be
"leased and sent abroad for the use of
the army and navy. They have asked us
; to join hands with the rest of the coun
i try in producing a surplus of wheat.
' Investigations indicate that much of our
' land is well adapted for wheat produc
i tion and that we can raise this crop at
some profit and advantage. We have
been neglecting to cover up out soils in
i the winter and they have washed and
; leached on that ac-counl We have
I failed to diversify our crops and have
depended too much on cotton. Here is
an opportunity now for us to introduce
a new phase of agriculture into the
south, to diversify our crops to advan
: tage and to raise essential foodstuffs.
Get behind the boys in your county. Mr.
Farmer, and see that a wheat club is
organized. Give your boy a chance to
show what he ean do. There is no rea
son why the same relative results should
not obtain in the course of a few years
in the growth f wheat as have ob
tained with corn through the medium of
corn clubs. One Georgia box- in Jackson
count}- raised 39 bushels of wheat on an
acre of land. This appears to be the
best record up to date. Who will set a
new record for 1918?
GRASSES ADAPTED TO GRAVELLY
UPLANDS.
J. W. fl.. Mineral Bluff. Ga.. writes:
I wish to sow a good pasture grass on
some gravelly clay upland. Wliat kind of
grass would you advise? I have thought
<>f setting Bermuda hr bunches a few feet
apart. Can I do this this fall?
in your section of the state among
the best tame grasses you can under
take to grow would be Red Top. Meadow
Fescue. Bluegrass, white clover. Alsike
clover, tall oat grass and orchard grass.
Orchard grass is especially well adapt
ed for growing under semi-shaded con
ditions. Alsike clover does well in soils
which arc slightly acid. Red Top. while
doing best in moist bottoms, gives fair
ly good results on soils that are well
drained. At your elevation and under
your climatic conditions we are inclined
to think that a combination of Red Top.
tall oat. orchard grass, white and Al
sike clover would prove desirable for
I>asture purposes. Wc would sow about
four pounds of Red Top. two pounds
of Meadow Fescue, six pounds of tall
oat gras, four pounds of orchard grass,
three pounds of white clover and three
pounds of Alsike clover per acre. Our
experience indicates that it has general
ly been best to seed mixtures of this
character in the early fall if there is
a good season In the soil, or else in the
early spring. Our best success has come
from fall seeding.
You can. of course, depend upon Ber
muda to cover the land and make you a
fair amount of grazing. You will not
secure as much use of this grass in
your section of the state as we do in
the vicinity of Athens and south there
of. There is no grass adapted to south
ern conditions as a whole which is more
desirable than Bermuda. This is due
to the fact that It resists drouth so
well. Is easy to establish, stands grazing
well and has a good carrying capacity.
You have the right idea about the quick
est and cheapest way to establish Ber
muda. You can also get a stand of it
cheaper and with a greater degree of
certainty, we think, than by attempting
to establish the tame grasses we men
tioned. If you attempt to plant tame
grasses In your section of the state we
advise that you use plenty of crushed
raw lime rock, not less than two tons
per acre, along with 200 pounds of acid
phosphate, a sack of cottonseed meal
or any Other carrier of organic nitrogen
which'will become quickly available and
help to stimulate the rapid growth and
development of the young grass and
clover plants.

DESTROYING WEED SEEDS IN
MANUBE.
J. H. M.. Albany. Ga.. writes: flow
i* the best way of treating *tal>!c manure
which contains nut grass seed so the land
will not become infested with the grass?
The best manner of handling the
manure which contains nutgrass seed
would be to make a slight excavation
in the ground where the soil is usually
firm or clayey in character. The point
selected should be convenient to an
abundant supply of water and the man
ure pile to be treated. The excavation
of the ground is suggested to prevent
the leaching out of a great deal of the
strength of the manure. It is general
ly best to puddle the bottom of the
soil of the pit made bv wetting it
thoroughly and then tramping and work
ing it. This makes a kind of hard pan
or crirst on the surface of the ground
wliioh is retentive of the moisture used
to break down the manure.
Next pile the manure in this pit,
tramping it in very thoroughly and wet
ting it frequently as it is tramped in,
drawing the pile up to a “V” shape to
the top. Make it several feet high.
The outside of the pile may be cov
ered with loose, partly decayed grass,
straw or any other trash available.
Keep the pile thoroughly wet at inter
vale to prevent lire fanning. If the
method suggested is followed the man
ure will heat and will become so ex
ceedingly hot, in fact, that it will de
stroy the viability of almost all of
the objectionable seeds it contains. This
will cadi for some labor and effort, but
it is the only practical method of meet
ing the situation in question which
we are in position to suggest. It is a
method extensively used in this section
of the country, and abroad for destroy
ing *r-ed manure In fact. I might
say that practically all the manure
handled abroad previous to war condi
tions was treated In the manner indi
cated ’-pfore being applied to the land.
Nutgrass is such a difficult pest to
deal with if it ever once becomes es
tablished in a piece of ground we think
your farmers ean well afford to go to
the expense and labor of handling the
manure as indicated in the hope of de
stroying the viability of the nutgrass
seed In the manure they expect to ap
ply to the land
GOOD VARIETIES OF WHEAT TO

4 Very Worldly World Noiv
On Fire—By Bishop Candler
George Eliot, in her little volume of
essays, entitled "Theophrastus Such,'
printed years ago an essay in which she
deprecated sharply what she was pleas
ed to call "Other-worldiness." She con
demned most sarcastically the churches
and the preachers of the Gospel for mak
ing so much of‘the future life and so
little of the life that now is, for think
ing and talking too much of happiness
of eternity and caring too little for the
duties of time.
If. in those days there was any just
i ground for such criticism of the chris-
I tian ministry and the churches, it is
I quite certain any reason for censure of
' that kind. The world of today is the
most worldly of worlds, in it there Is
precious little of "Other-worldliness.’’
Much current Christianity is itself
worldly, by which is meant tliat it con
cerns itself exclusively with the things
of earth and shuts out of view entirely
the thought of eternity. It deals with
the relations of men to one another and
ignores utterly the relation of the hu
man soul to God.
A great deal of the preaching, which
is most popular, is of a worldly type,
that is to say. it aims at the meliora
tion of the IHs of earth rather than at
the promotion of heavenly life tn the
hearts of man. and it Issues from
sources that are bounded hy time anti
I limited by sense. It is far more suit
: able to the lecture platform than to
l the pulpit.
But ean an earth-bound Christianity
; preserve itself alive? Can worldly
1 preaching satisfy for long the souls of
men? Hardily.
We can not get along well in this
world. if we habitually ignore the
world to come. Without belief in eter
nal life we shall surely impoverish the
life that now is.
In a recent issue of the North Amer
ican Review appeared a very sugges
tive article on “Some Difficulties in
Doing Without Eternity.” Throughout
the article runs a vein of sdbtle satire,
which ocacsionally shades off towards a
sad seriousness.
Among other things the writer says
with reference to the effect of the loss
of faith in immortality upon the affec
tions of the heart:
Evanescence tends also to under
mine our pergonal affections. It
harly seems worth while to be over
fond of relative or friend whom a
breath of wind inay sntff out like a
Came. Why should beings more
brittle than beetles go about loving
each other as if they were gods?
Morally, human frailty was often
subconsciously controlled by keeping
ourselves fit for the society we ex
pected ultimately to enter, that of
saints and sages and perhaps of God
himself.
In this suggestive paragraph the
writer of the article opens to view a
long line of sad reflection. The best and
tenderest affections of the heart wither
in the blighting atmosphere of faithless
ness. , The noblest heroisms become
quixotic in appearance, if they do not
cease altogether, when men no longer
believe in eternal life. Why should one
jeopardize, or sacrifice, for any cause,
the life he has in this world, if there is
to be no other life to come? Every sol
dier on the fields of France, fighting for
the right, might well say. with St. Paul,
"If the dead rise not. why stand we in
jeopardy every hour?'' An era of world
liness by its very nature is a,n unherolc
period.
Doubt, or denial, of eternal life af
fects adversely even things temporal.
When men begin to say. “Tomorrow we
die” they begin also to cal) to one an
other, "Let us eat and drink and be
merry.” Why should they give them
selves to anything higher than physical
enjovment, if physical life in this wor’d
be all and the end of all? Why should
Individuals or nations regard any higher
law than that of self-interest and self
indulgence, if eternal life be no more
than ar exploded fairy dream? AH their
social and political life must inevitably
conform to their faithlessness.
Upon this point the writer of the ar
ticle mentioned says:
"Apart from our personal pangs.
manure over the surface and disk it In.
Mix it thoroughly with the surface
soil, using at least 200 to 300 pounds
of acid phosphate, and harrow it in
at the same time. Yard manure is dSr
ficient in this particular element and
wheat responds to the use of acid
phosphate. It is important to remember
that the acid phosphate should be mixed
thoroughly with the soil. Sow the wheat
with n grain drill and put it in about
the 15th of thia month if possible. Early
seeding of wheat has proven far more
successful and profitable in Georgia
than late seeding.

SOWING RYE AND BERMUDA GRASS
TOGETHER.
.1. R. M.. Ducktown/ Tenn., writes: I
am going to sow three-fourtli* of an acre
to rye. and I would like to know if I
can get a stand of Bermuda grass by sow
ing the seed this fall with the rye. and
how much seed will it take?
It would be inadvisable to sow Ber
muda grass in the fall. This is strict
ly a tropical or sub-tropical grass. As
you know, only comparatively small
quantities of seed of this grass are pro
duced in America, by far the greater
part of our supply coming from Aus
tralia. Bermuda grass should, there
fore. only be sown in the spring after
the ground has warmed up and when
there is a good growing season at hand.
Much of the seed of Bermuda now on the
market is not of the best quality. In
other words, it only germinates fairly
well. Our experience has led us to think
that the best practice, as a rule, is to
establish Bermuda from sets.
For pasture or lawn purposes plant
with two inch squares set in rows
say 18 inches to three feet apart. Place
the sets about 18 inches apart in the
row.
If you w«nt something to make bot
tom in a rye crop plant 10 or 12 pounds
of crimson clover. Hairy vetch can
also be used to some advantage. White
clover could possibly be seeded with
rye. but the seed is now very expen
sive and hard to get.
TREATING A HORSE INFESTED
WITH WORMS.
P. C„ Keener. Ala., Writec I have a
horse and colt that the worms are eating
up. I would like to have a remedy.
The digestive tract of a mule or horse
is frequently infested with parasitic
worms. They are generally found in the
stomach and intestines. In most cases,
these worms gain their nourishment
from the partially digested food and
for this reason you should feed your
tnare and colt very sparingly for about
48 hours, giving only nourishing, easi
ly digested food. Any medicine given
should be taken on an empty stomach,
followed by a good purgative to expel
the worms from the Intestines. Turpen
tine is an excellent remedy. It should
be given in doses ranging from 1 dram
for small animals to 1 to 2 ounces for
targe horses or mules. Always dilute
the turpentine wtih milk, olive oil or
raw linseed oil so that It will not blis
ter the mouth or throat. These doses
should be given once daily for two or
three days, followed by a good purga
tive. With this treatment, your horse
and colt should show evidence of im
provement within a short time.
the loss of etfV-aity has hail effects,
social and political, that intensify
our private discomfort. Perhaps if
our difficulties are clarified we may
recognize how burdened we actual
ly are. and b willing to allow our
selves a makeshift leniency. Chief
among the public phenomena di
rectly traceable to the absence of
eternity is the war. On a basis of
strict mortality, war for aggran
dizement becomes the only legiti
mate activity for person or nation.
Reason shows that since death ends
all. material things are the only
things worth getting, and even
more clearly shows that since hu
| man beings are as finite as mosqui
i toes, they are no more worthy of
preservation. Germany is the most
laudihly logical nation in the world,
but iter logic has been a little un
comfortable for the nations who
are more sluggish in evolution, and
who will still cling to their retro
gressive respect for spiritual val
uations and to their obsolete rever
ence for the human soul. Os course
if Germany had not purified her
self from all ta'nt of faith in
eternity, sho might conceivably
have waited for permeation through
peace, instead of being in such a
devil of a hurry to chop away
through for her culture. Doubtless
in the couse of time, other nations
will attain Germany’s serene
heights of pure reason; but at
present it is necessary frankly to
admit that aggression, while our
brains pronounce it a most rational
pastime, is still for our Imagina
tion and sympathies one of the
chief temporary discomforts of do
ing without eternity.”
That "the los sos eternity has had ef
fects. social and political,” is demon
strated and exemplified by some utter
ances of Count Bcrnjitorff. the German
ambassador at Washington, just before
his departure from our country.
This Count Bernstorff, it will be re
membered, gave hitnself to the most dis
honorable and immoral intrigues while
he was the accredited and accepted am
bassador of his country to our govern
ment. What was the credal base of his
shameless conduct?
Let him answer for himself. From
an interview with him, published by a
New York daily, just before he left
America, the following sentences are
taken:
“I know this world and don’t trou
ble about any other.”
"I think the man a fool who de
nies himself any good thing in this
life, unless for health’s sake, or
some dominant reason.”
"1 think a man should do right,
but I am very lenient, especially
towards sins of the flesh, when the
temptation is great and the results
unimportant.”
In the three sentences quoted is am
ple explanation of all his perfidious con
duct. His conduct is controlled by no
principles of inviolable right because he
disbelieves the future world and knows
and cares for no world but that of the
present. A suffocating worldliness has
choked to death all virtue in his soul.
So in every man of the world just in
proportion to his indifference to eternity
and his devotion to time. Such worldli
ness destroys the moral perspective and
looks with self-deceiving gaze even upon
the things of time and sense. It is both
near-sighted and blear-eyed.
Prevalent worldliness is perverting
the education of youth. It demands that
all education be what it calls “scientific
and practical.” The curriculum which
it prescribes proceeds on the assump
tion that students belong to this world
only, and that the culture which serves
anything higher than what the senses
can enjoy and what may be desired in
time, is a vain thing.
And so our exceedingly worldly world
shows symptoms in its social, educa
tional. political and religious life of a
mortal malady preying upon its vitals.
Unless It be supplied speedily with some
fresh, tonic air from the heights of eter
nity, it must surely perish. The world
which forgets God will be turned into
hell, or rather will itself become a hell.
Our worldly world is now afire. World
liness is very inflammable and is easily
consumed by spontaneous combustion.
