DE*TSOTX2fO QRJLMJLRY WEEVILS What is the use of producing a terse crop of cereals in the south if we make no attempt to save and preserve the grain obtained therefrom in a suitable condition for human and animal food. Our country is a very wonderful one from an agricultural point of view M e produce enormous crops of evervthing tinder average conditions, but we do not give a sufficient smount of care and at tention to the preservation of the food thus produced Probably this is due to our failure to understand the great looses which insects as insignificant as the granary weevil can produce More over. the average individual does not know what these losses amount to. Os course, when weevils infest corn, for instance, they render it unfit for human food. They also destroy the viability of the seed, and farmers planting it will obtain a poor or indifferent stand, and hence will gather only about half a crop or have to go to the expense of replanting once or twice. There Is no use in raising com as feed for weevils if It can be prevented, for nat urally the more these insects injure com the less valuable’it is-as animar food. With the present high prices and the great demand for food of all de scription*. it io very important that we preserve every pound of it with the ut* moot care. It has not been so impor tant for many years to keep the corn crop in good condition for human food as during the present fall and winter. This is due to the fact that we are under the necessity of saving wheat and sending large quantities of it abroad for the use of our own armies and our allies. Unless we do this the war is likely to be greatly prolonged and the losses of our men greatly increased thereby. A careful study of the situa tion reveals the fact that the granary weevil is probably responsible for the destruction of not leas than 5.000.00 b bushels of corn in Georgia each year. The same proportionate loss takes place in the other southern states. At pres ent prices for corn this would amount IO between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000 a year which we pay as a tribute v to thia one small insignificant insect When we consider the losses in al! the other southern states, it will be seen that we probably let the granary weevil eat up corn to the value of $25,000,000 each year. Surely it would pay us to make some special effort to control the rav ages of this : nsect. and one might nat urally suppose that it would be almost impossible to do this or else more at tention to Its control and destruction would he evidenced. Strange to say. it Is a comparatively easy thing to com bat and the method of destroying it :s quite simple. All it takes is a little Initiative and the determination to de stroy it. t'uch being the case, it la worth while to present in some detail for Ou*- -waters the exact method of procedure to follow and urge upon them the necessity of so destroying and hano l:ng their grain, whether derived from corn or any pther cereal, so as to pre vent its destruction by weevils tb:s? winter. The first thing necessary to do is to put the grain in a comparatively tight bin or storage room. Treatment can. of course, be effected in a oribllke struc ture such as is often used for the stor age of com, but it is needless to say that the tighter the structure the more effective the treatment and the smaller amount of fifmigating material which it will be necessary to use. Any sort of a container that can be covered with a heavy cloth will answer very well. On most fanhs there will be a compara tively small amount of grain to treat, so the operation will not be very expen sive or difficult, and there is always plenty of time when this work can be done if there !s the disposition to do It.* The material to use in treating corn I br other cereals for the weevil is carbon bisulphide. It is a colorless liquid with a very offensive odor and evaporates readily on exposure to the air. It is much heavier than the air. so that it sink* down through the grain instead of rising, which is true of nios* s gases It will not injure the hands or clothing.

Os course, it should not be inhaled, and is inflammable in the presence of lights, hence the treatment of the grain should be performed in the daytime, and one should not smoke while handling carbon bisulphide. These are two very impor tant matters to bear In mind. When one expects to use carbon bisulphide it is best to purchase only as much as Is required, and If any-surplus Is left store it in an an outbuilding. In handling bisulphide one should have the crib or container properly pre pared and be ready to leave the struc ture as soon as the material is poured into the shallow dishes or trays which should be placed on top of the grain, ft should be used at the rate of one pound per ton of grain when treating in tight ly constructed bins. If these are rather open, a pound and a half should be used. In some structures it may even be necessary to use two pounds per ton of grain Another method of determining the amount to u’se is to allow two or three pounds per 100 cubic feet of apace. Everyone is familiar with how to com pute the cubical contents of a .given structure, and if it is more convenient the amount of carbon bisulphide re quired can be determined in this way. Remember that ft is very important to be able to cover the container in some way so as to hold the gas within its bounds as long as possible. Fumigation should continue for seevral after which the cover should be removed and the grain exposed to the air. In treating corn it Is important to re member that It should be mature and dry before the fumigating process be gins. Do not attempt to treat imma ture or improperly dried out grain. The seed corn which one is likely to have only in small quantities may be treated In a barrel. Fill it to within six or eight inches of the top and make airtight. The germination of the seed will not be af fected by the treatment. Since the eggs of the corn weevil are not destroyed by the first fumigation, treatment should be repeated from time to time during the year. Remember that the fumiga tion only kills the adult weevils. After the fisrt treatment it is desirable to re fumigate at the end of four weeks to kill any weevils that may have devel oped from the eggs. One should exam ine stored corn from time to time in a climate as mild and open as ours, and If there is any evidence of the presence of weevils, retreat immediately. Com. of cou"rse, may be stored in the shuck, and In that event larger amounts of car bon bisulphide must be used. In selecting corn to grow where the weevils are particularly bad, it is good practice to secure a variety in which the shucks are long and cover the, tip of the ear completely. This tends to lessen weevil damage While there Is something in the variety, there is much more in the promptness and skill with which the carbon bisulphide is used to destroy the ravages of this very de structive insect. Let us remember that we have millions of doMars at stake this winter; that this is the time when it is more important to conserve food than ever before in the history of the world. Therefore let us make liberal use of carbon bisulphide in the preservation of ouY food grains. COMPOSITION OF PEA VINB HAY. g. C.. Lumpkin. Ga.. writes: I would like to know what the analysis of peanut hay la. Peanut hay consisting of vineS with out the nuts, contains approximately 6.6 per cent digestible protein. 37 per cent digestible carbohydrates and 3 per cent digestible fat. This hay, as you will readily see. compares very favorably with the hay obtained from Canada field peas, red clover and Alsike clover, it is not as rich in digestible protein as alfalfa or cow peas. If properly cured, however, it makes a very good hay and would be especially valuable to feed to dairy cows or beef cattle. It would not make a very satisfactory feed for horses and mules as it is very rich In protein, containing more of this element than should he fed to this class of animals to secure the best results. Moreover, it contains a considerable amount of dust, which proves injurious toi the respiratory organs of such animals and should not be fed to them on that account. • • • A CASE OF DEPRAVED APPETITE. W. J. S.. Oglethorpe. <»*.. write*: 1 have s tnnle about ten years old that !» b»d about eating trash. She get* very Bick semetime*. and tries to lie on her back. I feed her rood bay and corn. Would like to rnon what to do to correct the trouble. Your mule is evidently suffering from some form of indigestion. The causes of this trouble are numerous. Anything which irritates the stomach or Intestines will cause this trouble. The use of new feed to which the animal is unaccustom ed. sudden changes in diet, the use of imperfectly cured feed or an Improperly balanced ration, and the presence of worms may all be contributing causes to indigestion. Bad teeth, which inter fere with perfect mastication, may cause this trouble Working a mule too soon after feeding, or feeding too soon after heavy, exhausting work may cause chronic Indigestion. The symptoms of this trouble are: An irregular appetite, refusing feed alto gether at times and then overeating at others, a depraved craving such as you write about, and a tendency to colicky pains. The treatment of this trouble should commence with the feed. It must be of only tjie best quality and free from moulds. The ration feed must be bal anced up so as to supply the needs of rhe animal satisfactorily. Instead of feeding corn alone if you will use 400 pounds of corn. 200 pounds of oats and 100 pounds of cottonseed meal you wIH I'HE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1917 secure a better concentrate ration. Then feed an abundance of clean, bright hay. Examine the water supply and the teeth. Feed regularly and water regu larly. If there is a tendency to the formation of gas use the following mix ture: Baking soda, powdered ginger and powdered gentian in equal parts. Give a heaping teaspoonful twice a dav before feeding. This powder is best given by dissolving the above quantity in one-half pint of water and adminis tering as a drench. LIME AS A FACTOR IN WHEAT RAISING. W. H. l'„ Lithonia. Gn., writes: I ean get some ground lime placed on a siding in my field and only have a abort distance to haul it. My land is red clay and I want to so wwiieat. How much eau I afford to I>ay for the lime, and how much should I Use I 1 bare some spring head bottoms and with ditching and tiling, I have made good oats and corn and fair cotton. But pota toes and tomatoes both die of the wilt on this land. Do you think an application of lime would correct this? According to our experience it seems advisable to use lime on tend intended for wheat once in about three years to five years. Our observations lead us to believe that the use of one to two tons per acre is about the right amount to apply. The price of labor and freight i having gone up it is a little difficult I to say what one should pay for the! crushed rook. Much depends on the fineness to which it is ground. We im agine you should be able to get it at your siding for about $3.50 per ton and that in such case you could afford to apply at least one ton per acre. The crushed rock should be scattered over the surface of the ground and harrowed into the soil a few days before the wheat is planted. You should not con clude from this that lime will take the place of other fertilizers under wheat, it helps this crop, however, sufficiently to justify our recommending its appli cation in the amount indicated. We do not wish you to conclude that yoq could not afford to pay more than $3.50 per ton for this material. At the same time we think this would be a fair price. Tiling and draining the land to which you refer will no doubt help it some, but the wilt disease of tomatoes is due to the presence of a specific fungus in the soil which it does not seem posible to destroy and which odes not readily .die out. About the only way of fight ing this trouble successfully is to use a strain of tomatoes which has been! proven to be resistant to the wilt dis ease. It is the best practice under any circumstances to keep tomatoes off this land for several years. We imagine that your potatoes died from blight rather than the wilt dis ease. If you had sprayed them as sooni as the blight struck them you could probably have saved this crop. Should you wish to plant potatoes again on any of your land you should write to us and get information as to how to spray them so that in case the tops become diseased you can use preventive treatment at once. We should not plant Irish potatoes on land where they de cay badlv for two or three years. A i rotation of crops in fighting all kinds of diseases and insect pests is desirable. • • » VAUteK OF ESSEX RAPE FOR GRAZ ING HOGS. C. E. H., (avesprlng, Ga., writes: I have been told tbat dwarf Essex rape will pro duce 15 to 20 tons of forage per acre. Is this true. When should it be sown? What is the best to sow with oats for hay? I want something for winter grazing for stock and poultry. Rape is a good forage crop for use under certain conditions. It is possi ble that a yield such as you indicate may be obtained but I have never seen as large a quantity of this harvested from an acre of land. Rape, of course, contains a very high percentage of wa ter and hence a large tonnage might easily be secured from an acre. We think possibly half of these yields would be nearer the average you might-antici pate. Dwarf Essex rape should in our judgment, be planted either in late Au gust or early September for a fall crop. Tn the spring it should be planted in southern Georgia in February and in the northern part of the state in late February or qgrly March. We prefer to plant in rows about 24 to 36 Inches apart and cultivate lightly. It takes about 4 to 6 pounds of seed to plant an acre. It should not be grazed until the leaves spread across the rows to some extent. Then turn hogs in on it. They are very fond of it and will graze it to advantage if it can be made ready for this pur|>ose sufficiently early in the Beason. Rape can be broadcasted with oats though we have always grown it more satisfactorily to seed it by itself. It would not be desirable to plant rape with oats, as you could not cut it satis factorily in the form of hay. The best winter grazing crops available to plant at this season of the year would be rye. crimson clover and hairy vetch. All of-these should be sown immediately, and much better results would have at tended your efforts if you had planted them 30 days ago. • * • VARIETIES OF COTTON FOR NORTH GEORGIA. J. H. F., Beatun. Ga.: I wish to know what Is the best variety of cotton for norlh Georgia. What do you think of the Rus sell cotton ? Several varieties of cotton may be grown to advantage in north Georgia. Among these are well selected, early ma turing strains of Cleveland’s Big 8011, Broadwell, College No. 1 and other early maturing sorts. A good many individ uals are growing these strains of cot ton and you should not have difficulty in obtaining a satisfactory quality of seed. Cleveland’s Big 8011, as you no doubt know, IB a variety widely grown throughout the state of Georgia. Tn fact, it is probably the most extensive ly grown of any variety now cultivated in Georgia. Broadwell's is a variety improved near Alpharetta and is a good standard va riety for north Georgia. College No. 1 was developed at the College of Agriculture. It has many good qualities to commend it. such as earliness and length and strength of staple. The seed of this strain also run high in oil and nitrogen content. It ap pears to be a variety well adapted for growth In those sections where the boll weevil is likely to be destructive by reason of its early maturing qualities The Russell variety of cotton is one of the older sorts which does not seem tk ,be grown any grea* extent at the present time. We are inclined to think you would find the other Strains men tioned more desirable. * • • SO-CALLED DALA. CONCERNING WOOL COTTON. A. A.. < ordele, Ga., writes: Gau you tell me anything about the so-called wool cot ton? 1 have 26 acres In new ground, 20 nereis of which will be cultivated for the first tune. What aurcees might I expect from the following crops: Sorghum, riigar cane, Irish potatoca and oats? Is there a hand mil! on the market for grinding corn meal, graham flour, etc., tbat will also grind velvet bean* In the pod and corn and cob men I ? If the wool cotton to which you re fer Is similar to that which has been called to our attention under this or similar names it Is not a variety which we would feel justified in recommend-. Ing to the favorable attention of Geor gia farmers. Our experience and ob servation with this cotton has not been satisfactory to date. We do not think it will prove as satisfactory for your section of the state as Covington Toole and many other standard sorts which should be available in considerable quantities and, g.t reasonable prices. We ONE WOMAN’S By Carolyn I STORY — -I Beecher CHAPTER CXXII. 1 MY heart was very heavy as I walked slowly home. So Ned and Myrtle knew, and discussed it. They not only knew, but they believ ed. How could I endure this added cer tainty, this latest proof that iny sus picions were correct? Yet Myrtle in the course of our talk had said: “Robert is not yet in love with Mrs. Lawson. lam sure of that. He is too busy just now, too much engaged with plans for his future. You must realize by this time what an ambitious man your husband is. I told Ned the other day I didn't believe he would be satis fied until he was president of the United States. ’’ “He is ambitious,” 1 agreed. “Then, too, Margaret,” she added, "you told me once that Robert had ex pressed a desire to have you ask Mrs. Lawson to your house. If he were in love with her, he would not wish any meeting between you two. He is inter ested and attracted, as most any man would be if they were thrown in Phyllis Lawson’s society for even a short time — and you must remember he has necessa rily seen a lot of her when he was get ting her divorce, especially. She is beau tiful. And even you. Margaret, much as you dislike and distrust her, must own her clever.” Was Myrtle—could she be right? Was it possible that Robert was not quite lost to me.? I would put him to a slight test in spite of what I had said to Myr tl'e. When he came in that night to dinner Bruce at once claimed his attention. He was- a very observing lad and always, after motoring through the country had much to talk about. “I had luncheon with Myrtle today,” ’1 remarked causually at the dinner ta ble. after the coffee had been brought on and the children excused. “That was pleasant,” Robert replied ■ without looking up. “Yes, she talks of giving a large af fair, a musicale. and wished me to help her plan the program.” “You will enjoy that.” “Yes. and I thought perhaps we might do a little entertaining the same night. We could have a littie dinner, then go on there later in the cars. I had thought of asking Mr. and Mrs. Mulhany. How ard Cutting, and perhaps one or two others. That is if you approve and can arrange to be at home.” “I’ll manage it some way although I am very busy at present." “Is there ever a time that you are not busy when 1 want you?” I felt like screaming, but instead I asked as quiet ly as 1 could: “Is there anyone you would particu larly like me to ask?” I put my hand over my heart. I thought he must hear it beating, while I waited for his answer. “No: suit yourself as to the gu°sts you invite,” and rose from the table. What was it Myrtle had said? “It advise the farmer against paying an unusually high price for some new sort of coton for which exceptional claims are made. We have test areas not only at Athens but at Tifton and in Brooks and Pierce counties. We are glad to receive samples of l seed of all kinds of cotton which seem to have ahy estab lished merit, and we will test them free of cost for growers or producers and ascertain their merit in order that we may be able to correctly inform the people of the state as to which vari eties are best for planting under given soil and climatic conditions. I have been told that an attempt has been made to sell this wool cotton, for which im possible claims are made in that it is weevil resistent,, as unusually high prices. The farmers should be careful not to be misled into wasting their money on visionary propositions of this character. \ All of the crops mentioned in your letter should do well on new ground We presume this land has not been previously cultivated from what you say. You should make the best effort pos sible to put it in good condition foj planting these crops by removing stumps and trash therefrom. All the crops in question do well on soils rich in nitrogen and vegetable matter. Most of these crops also draw heavily on the phosphates and potash. Potash is so high that you may not think it prac tical to use it at the present time, but there is no reason why you should not supply phosphoric acid to some con siderable advantage. You may pur chase it in the form of acid phosphate. We would suggest that you use It un der most of the crops mentioned at the rate of about 300 pounds per adre. There is no hand mill on the market for grinding the crops to which you refer in so far as I know. It takes mills of considerable size and power, for instance, to grind velvet beans in the pod. and corn, cob and shuck to gether. You can feed your velvet beans without grinding them If you will soak them a few hours in advance of feeding them. « Not SI.OO. not even 50c, not one cent cost to yog under our easy condition*.

B. WEATHERLY, 908 Geor gia Casualty Bldg., Macon, Ga. was a sign he was not in love with Mrs. Lawson, because he had long ago asked me to invite her to one of my affairs. That he w-ould not wish a meeting between us if he were.” So now I took it as proof, added proof that he was in love with her, because, when I gave him the oppor tunity to ask me to invite her, he had not done so.* I wished I had not prov ed him. All my life I had felt a sort of con tempt for the woman who tried to hold her husband if he wanted to get away; his love when she felt it slipping from her. When the suspicion that Robert was becoming unduly Interested in the beautiful Mrs. Lawson came to me; then became almost a certainty in my mind, I had resolved to hide my knowl edge as long as I could. To hide my misery as long aS I was able, or un til I was absolutely sure that his love was mine no longer. Then I would quietly leave him. And I would let him free me legally as soon as we could arrange it. I was very bitter as I thought of Pearl Bailey, and of how she had re peated my foolish confidences. With feminine intuition I knew that she was trying to take revenge, not on me. but on Mrs. Lawson, because she had been obliged to assist her with her work. She was trying to spread the gossip of the office. Mrs. Lawson's visits, etc. It was cheap and cattish revenge, and I resolved to be on my guard against her. I bitterly regretted my sudden whim to visit Robert that morning. I had been * punished unduly. He had ob jected always to my dropping in at the office, and I had respected his wishes. Why had I been so silly as to talk to Pearl Bailey Instead of quietly resting, or going home when I found Robert absent? I think that we are often punished more severely for our %nlstakes than for our sins. I know I have been. CHAPTER CXXin. THE truth about a womans daily life is nearly always rather sor did and unexciting. It is so made up of trifles, little unimportant happenings that go to the making of happiness or unhappiness. A tender word, a smile, the gift of a flower floods the whole world with sunshine, while the lack of these things, even if caused only by thoughtlessness or absent-mindedness, fill our days with woe. If we have not love in our lives we are so constituted that we weary and long for it; or we grow hard and bit ter because of our unfilled need, our unsatisfied craving. And often the proud, sensitive, inexperienced wife is, like myself, a blunderer of love in the beginning of her maPried life. The primitive woman would laugh, and walk rough shod over things that to us seem absolutely unsurmountable. In the end she would win where we fail because of the strength and jus tice of her demands. I had not seen Mrs. Mulhany for a number of days, but just as I was about to telephone her she came over. When I saw the gay little work bag over her arm I knew she had come to spend the afternoon, and hurried to let her in. We went into the nursery or as Bruce now called it “the gym.” He wanted to show- her some new appa ratus his father had just had set up for him. After she had admired it and talked to both Bruce and his tutor in her sweet way for a few moments we passed into my room. “What a gloriotis view!” she ex claimed. as she stepped to the window, and gazed out at the hills so clear cut against the horizon, but later to be covered with the violet haze I love so well. She stood admiring them for a few moments, and then turning, she put her arm around my waist and drew me to h#r. “Now. Margaret, tell me what it is, perhaps I can help.” “Why. there isn’t anything to ell." I stammered, drawing away. I wonder ed if Myrtle had told her, then dis missed the thought. Myrtle was true blue. She would not discuss me, my affairs, even with Mrs. Mulhany. “Then don't torture yourself imag ining things." she replied, but her kindly smile took all the sting from the words which had been uttered rather sharply for her. “You look worn out, anxious, and are getting as thin as a rail. Doesn't Robert see it? It's about time some one told him to take care of you.” I flushed hotly and protested: "T don’t need any care. Really Mrs. Mulhany. I am perfectly well. Ro }’- ert knows I am all right. Everybody sets a little tired occasionally, and It isn’t a fashionable to be fat, you know, * I was frightened that she might speak of my looks to Robert. “Fashionable —pooh!” she snorted, dis gustedly. as she dropped into the chair I had placed near the window for her, and drew Out a bit of sewing she was doing for Betty. A beautifully em broidered yoke for. a dress. "Do you think any o,ne admires a beanpole. 1 don’t, neither does Tim. He says ‘bare bones are immodest.”’ We both laugh ed. and I felt easier. ' ' But she hadn't finished, for. after I had admired the pattern on the yoke, she said: “You are more than a little tired, dear. 1/ I were you I should go away for a little while. Go bv yourselL I will come over every day and help Martha with the children, or I will take Betty home and keep her with me. “Oh, T couldn’t go away now! My music, and " "That's another thing. You are work ing too hard with your music. I mfet Lenore Dorian and she feared you were driving vourself too strenuously. It isn’t as if you were dependent on it. you know. dear. If you were I shouldn’t My a word, because when need drives we often cannot slacken the reins -f we would. " T wandered what she would say were T to tell her of my plan, that T expect ed to experience the need —and soon. Would she then object to my working hard —that is if she understood? Even as the thought came to me 1 wondered if, she ever would understand. “Tim says that your husband is sure to be appointed judge." sits ram bled on. her fingers flying as she talk ed. “and I am so glad he has signified his willingness to accept. I have al ways thought that every man owed a duty to his people, his country. A duty which, if his circumstances permitted, he should fulfill. I am delighted that your husband has been chosen for so prominent a place. It is a arreat honor for so young’ a man. but Tim says the desire for his appointment is unani mous.” “And Mr. Mulhany should know! I laughed, although my heart was sore that others knew so much more of Rob ert’s business than I did. “Yes. Tim knows pretty well all that’s going on in the public life of the state. Sometimes when I feel a tiny bit like finding fault when he is obliged to oe out a good deal. I think that if more good men like Tim and Mr. Drayton took an interest an such things it would be better for us all; and that stops all desire to complain.” FOUR BALES OF COTTON WILL BUY MORE NOW * SCENE —A Country Store in Dixie.

Yes, I have looked up records and I find that some twenty years ago, as yob say, your shoe bill was about SIOO, and I find that in payment of these shoes for that year you turned in four bales of cotton. Now if you will turn in i’our bales of cotton I will credit your ac count with $l5O, the amount of yj.ir shoe bill for this year, and in addition to this I will give you the following: 1 Farm wagon $50.00 1 Suit for you 25.00 1 Suit for your wife 25.00 1. Suit for your daughter 15.00 1 Suit for the baby 5.00 1 Set of harness / 25.00 1 Box of cigars 5.00 1 Hat for you 2.50 1 Hat for the boy 2.50 1 Hat for your wife 15.00 Sugar , 10.00 Coffee 5.00 Teo 5.00 Gasoline 5.00 Lubricating oil 7 5.00 $200.00 These items. Mr. Planter, that 1 will give you for your four bales of cotton are in addition to paying for your shoe bill for the year, and they amount to S3OO, but in addition to this, I will also give you in cold cash $l5O, and the en tire amount of your shoe bill for the year. And furthermore, Mr. Planter, do not forget that twenty years ago you got little or nothing for your cotton seed, and if you will bring in the two tons of cotton seed that these four bales will produce. I will give you SIOO more in cash—as much as you got for your cotton some twenty years back. As compared with the old transaction you have for your four bales of cotton and cotton seed, your shoes for the year, and in addition, $200.00 worth of merchandise!

Bourland, secretary of the southern educational board, was here yesterday in conference with educators in regard to plans for the meeting of the Southern Educational association in Atlanta November 16. Dr. Bourland spent four years in Ger many and he is strongly of the opinion that Germany must be whipped on the battlefield. He says that everything In Germany that looks like democracy is a blind and is put forth to deceive tne world. He says that the people are under the iron rule of despotism. The relchstag is merely a blind and really has no power. Everything is con trolled and ruled by the imperial coun cil, which is domianted by the kaiser.
