No more ini portant matter can en
gage the attention of our producers at
this time than that of acquainting them
selves with some of the new or more
common plant diseases affectinc our
principal crops and learning' how to
hold these in check to the best advan
tage. It is needless to point out that
we lose every year millions of dollars’
worth of food crops through the inroads
made noon them by plant diseases.
Some of these we must admit we are
not well acquainted with, and therefore
do not know how to meet and overcome
them satisfac'orily. On the other hand,
we possess information about many d»s
eases which we fail to apply properly.
In this day and hour when labor is
scarce and the necessity of conserving
food more imperative than ever before
in our history, it is of the utmost im
portance that we use ever;- iota of in
formation we have relative to portect
ing our crops from the inroads of dis
ease.
Among the diseases to which atten
tion should be directed at this time is
one affecting the Irish potato. This is
a European disease which has been in
troduced into the United States. Read
• •ref til Iv, therefore, wnat is said about
this disease and inform your elf how
to fight it successfully. Unless its
spread is controlled, it will damage one
of the most important and essential
o four food crops very seriously and
result in the loss of millions of dol
lars’ worth of food in the future.
We are all interested in the welfare
of the sweet potato crop. We wish to
preserve it for winter use. and to do
this we mudt see that the roots when

POTASH
Makes the Profit
The difference between a profitable crop and an un
profitable one is measured by the POTASH, or its absence in
the fertilizer used. Our Southern soils are starving for
Potash.
“Potash Munger’’ must be overcome or you may expect
more wilting stalks, fewer bolls and less fruit each year. *;
You can overcome this condition by using Potash in your

Now is the seaso i of the year when
we should plait out large areas to
cabbage. It is iot worth the time to go
to the labor involved unless we set out
healthy plants. We can insure a good
stand of cabbage by taking into consid
eration the sugjestions made below.
Our Spanish peanut crop was aff<-cted
last year with leaf spot, which did con
siderable damage. We can meet the
attack of this disease by following a
rotation of cro’.s.
In view of the importance of these
matters, the attention of our readers is
directed to the following more or less
detailed summary of the foregoing mat
ters as prepared by the division of
plant pathology of the Georgia State
College of Agriculture.
A serious. European disease of the
Irish potato has been found in Luzerne
county, Pennsylvania. Potato wart, due
to chrysophlyctic endobiatica, has re
sulted in total crop losses in England.
The disease was introduced into the
United States on imported seed several
.years ago and developed into a seri
ous garden pest in this particular min
ing region. The state of Pennsylvania
is taking eveiy precaution to prevent
its spread. However, it i» quite pof Bi
ble that portions of the same lot of
seed were sent to other states. You are.
therefore, advised to be on the lookout
for this particular disease. Potato
wart manifests its presence by an en
larged, rough, irregular, warty growth
which may invo’ve the entire tuber Or
root, changing the tissue of the tuber
into a black, worthless mass. A speci
men of the disease is on exhibition at
the division of plant pathology. Col
lege of Agriculture.
Potato wart is spread:
1. By planting diseased seed or seed
v. hich has come in contact with diseased
seed.
2. By manure from animals fed on
diseased potatoes.
3. By peeling and other refuse from
diseased potatoes, which may be throwii
in the field or garden.
4. By diseased soil which may be
brought in on cabbage or tomato plants,
oi on farm implements.
. 5. By drainage water from diseased
fields.
Reports are beginning to come in re
garding corn ear’rot's. In general these
rots may be classified in two groups:
(1) Those lots resulting from parasitic
fungi which involve the entire ear, and
(2) those rots gaining entrance to the
ear as a result of insect troubles, which
are usually confined to the tip of the
ear. The rots of the first group are
due largely to either Diplodia or Fu
saria. Diplodia rot shows up as a
white, mouldy growth on and between
the grains, which are more or less dis
colored—often quite dark. This or
ganism lives over in the soil and on
diseased plants in the field or is brought
into the field on manure resulting from
diseased stover. The Fusarium rot
shows up as a pinkish or white mouldy
growth on and between the grains, which
ace discolered—often pinkish or yel
lo wsh in color. Whenever you find : :iy
discolored ears, note the percentage of
•he crop affected and send in a liberal
specimen for determination.

Storage disease, making its appearance
as roundish, metallic colored spots of
the potato, the adjacent flesh being de
cidettiy bitter.
The unbroken skin of the sweet -o
tato is resistant to most of the diseased
spores—especially under conditions 01
proper storage. A break in the skin,
nowever. furnishes an entrance for the
rot producing organism. For this rea
son, potatoes should be dug and handled
so as not to break the skin, and all
potatoes showing wounds or bruises
should be sorted out for immediate sale
and consumption None but healthy,
perfect potatoes should go to the stor
age house. Storage house plans may be
had upon application to the division ot
agricultural engineering. College of Ag
riculture.
Plans should be made for cleaning
the orchard trees of brown rot scab,
leaf curl and scale. When trees are
I severely infected two dormant spray
ings should be applied!' (1) During
November, (2) during February, before
growth starts. Concentrated limc-sui
phur gives best results. Spray mate
rials should be ordered at once and
the spray machinery overhauled to
make sure it is in working condition.
Last spring, the spray machinery man
ufacturers were requested to send cacn
vgent copies of his literature. If you
have not this literature on hand, please
advise and I will have duplicates sent.
Considerable “damping off” is show
ing up in the cabbage and seed beds.
New soil should, of course, be used eacn
vear in the beds, and. if possible, it
should be steam sterilized. After the
disease has made its appearance in a
bed not a great deal can be done in the
way of eradication. Thinning out the
plants so that there is no crowding
will help and the application of a layer
of coarse sand about the stems renders
conditions less favorable to the de
velopment of the organism.
From the experience of last season
it will be well to select a new piece
of land for the cabbage planting. Last
spring many agents advised that en
tire fields had been destroyed as a
result of “yellows," a fungus disease
which persists in the soil "for several
years. Infection of the field may tauc
place in the following ways:
1. Diseased seedlings.
2. Diseased material scattered over
clean fields, or diseased soil broug.it
in on agricultural implements, or the
toots of seedling tomato or other plants.
3. Infected seed.
A large percentage of the Spanish
peanut crop was affected with leaf spot
the past season. In many cases the
disease was carried down the stalk and
appeared on the peas themselves, in
selecting seed for next year, be very
careful not to select any peas show
ing disease —better select seed from
healthy vines only. The disease is
carried over in the soil on the diseased
vines or- is brought in on manure re
sulting from diseased vines. Crop ro
tation is an important factor in con
trolling the disease.
Powdery mildew showed up on many
varieties ‘of the cowpea during Sep
tember. Occasionally the disease proved
so severe that the leaves were killed
and dropped, thus destroying the forage
value of the plant. Fortunately, the
season was dry and the damage was
small.
In selecting seed Irish potatoes one
should discard any tubers with a scab
by or warty surface or any, which upon
being- cut. show a discolored vascular
ring (at the stem end). All suspicious
specimens should be sent to the pathol
ogist for determination. The good seed
should then be treated to destroy dis-\
ease organisms on the surface. The
methods of treatment are as follows:
(1) Corrosive sublimate, one part to
1,000 parts water. Clean tubers soaked
lor one-half hour; then washed and
spread to dry.
(2) Formaldehyde, one part (commer
cial 40 per cent) to 240 parts water.
Clean tubers soaked for fifteen min
utes.
Ab6ut one gallon of solution is used
per bushel of potatoes treated; thus for
100 bushels of seed there will be re
quired:
(1) Fourteeen ounces of corrosive
sublimate to 100 gallons of water.
(2) One pint of formaldehyde to 100
gallons of water.
Balling Hogs ou Forage Crops In the
South.
C. F. H., Camp McClellan, Ala., writes:
I would like all tbe information you can give
me on raising hogs on forage crops in Geor
gia to be supplemented with corn or soy
beans. Also would like some figures ou Jhe
cost of growing corn, mid the latest in
formation on growing alfalfa in Georgia.
A considerable percentage of the large
number of hogs raised in Georgia are
now produced chiefly on forage crops.
This ic particularly true of that great
section of the state which lies south
of the Fall Line, where the lands are
sandier than those of north Georgia.
On this account grazing may be prac
ticed at almost any season of the year
without danger of puddling the soil.
Grazing and forage crops suitable for
the maintenance of hogs for the great
er part of the year can, of course, be
grown successfully In all parts of Geor
gia, but In the northern section the
method of handling and mangement will
of necessity have to be somewhat dif
ferent to that followed in south Geor
gia. In this state winter cereals such
as wheat, barley, oats or rye, sown
either alone or in combination with crim
son clover or some of the vetches, af
ford considerable late fall and winter
pasturage. It is a good idea to have
an area of land devoted to alfalfa, which
can be used as a sort of in-between graz
ing crop. Then as early as practicable
in the spring rape should be planted,
followed by spring oats, sown singly
or in combination with Canada peas,
early maturing corn and cowpeas and
soy beans planted in succession. Pea
nuts should be seeded in May or June
to afford the primary grazing crop
from September until the first of the
year. Velvet beans planted In corn
will be found very valuable as a graz
ing crop for hogs. A combination of
the corn and velvet beans provides an
almost balanced ration.
Where hogs are grazed on peanuts
they must of necessity be fed some
corn for two or three weeks before
they are slaughtered In order to firm
up the flesh satisfactorily, as peanuts
produce a soft, oily nork. Velvet beans
are disposed to produce a rather dark
colored fat, though this trouble may
be obviated by the use of corn. Un
derstand. of course, that both peanuts
end velvet beans produce vigorous,
thrifty animals that are perfectly nor

indicated. i
In addition to the above there should
be a range of Bermuda sod and a semi
shaded wood pasture in which hogs can
range at liberty. Feeding paddocks are
desirable so that hogs may be turned
on first one crop and then another as
they become ready for grazing.
It is important that an abundance of
pure water be supplied. Under all. cir- ■
cumstances we advise the use of pre- i
ventive serum, or probably the simul
taneous treatment against cholera.
The cost of raising corn in Georgia
varies from 40c to SI.OO a bushel. Un
der good management the smaller fig
ure pertains and under the one-horse
Boy Dixie plow system followed by the
careless or indifferent tenant the lat
ter figure pertains. It is largely a
ouestion of son preparttion. fertiliza

cost of a bushel of corn will be in Geor
g Alfalfa may be grown successfully in
Georgia, as our tests here at the col
lege and in many other parts of Geor
gii» demonstrate. We have plats of al
falfa which have been iu continuous
pre luction for seven years and we are I
still harvesting from four to six cut-1
tings per year with a total weight of
cured hay of approximately five to six
tons per acre. The secret of estab
lishing alfalfa Is to prepare the soil
thoroughly, enrich it well with yard
manure or the green leguminous crops
turned under, lime very early, say at
the rate of four tons of crushed rock |
per acre, fertilize well before planting,
particularly with acid phosphate, sow in
the fall as near to the 1 >th of October
as possible, and properly inoculate the
seed before planting.
Suggestions on tho Marketing of
Products
W. g. R., Vnldcstn, Ga., writes: Tl>?
farmers in this county are complaining at
not being able to dispose of their corn,

ducing. ’Pile boil weevil has possibly none
greater damage in tuis county than else

this matter.
As you probably know, the College of
Agricuituie is only chaiged, in ma mat
ter ot marketing, witn handling the edu
cational side oi this proposition. w e
are required to disseminate information
relative to marketing advise about
standards and grades, prepare and dis
tribute bulletins on subjects of this
character, and so aid the people in ac
quiring that information wnicn will en
able them to grow and prepare the va
rious crops produced on their farms tor
the market fn the. most acceptable man
ner. If this can be done successfully
it is obvious that a mucn better price
will pertain for the articles produced
on the farm, and there will be much
less di fa ult v experienced in market
ing the farmer’s surplus than la now
experienced. The college is busily en
gaged along this line, as you know,
and has endeavored in every way to
stay in the field assigned to it, which :
is to promote tile educational propa
ganda campaign as It pei’ianis to mar
keting as vigorously as possible. Un- (
doubtedly some conrideralne success has ■
been attained in this direction, as the
results along many lines amply demon
strate. It is. of course, the privilege ■
and purpose of the college ena of the i
organization to disseminate such in- ,
lormation as the Inited States bureau:
of markets has gathered relative to the (
Market News service. As you know,
work of this . character has been car
ried forward -vigorously and success- •’
luliy.
Having accomplished these ends we
are restricted from going further by
the act of tne legislature and the ex-I
pressed wish of the various high off!-;
clals in the state, of Georgia having
charge of the reins of the government.!
No doubt you recall nhat two years ago ;
a bureau of markets was created as a I
part of the state department of agricul- I
• are, located in the Capitol building, At- ;
•anta, Ga. This bureau is. as I under- ;
stand it, under the supervision and gen
eral direction of the Honorable. J. J.
Brown, who bears the title of director
of markets. As I understand the law
and the plan of operation, this bureau
is charged with the commercial end of
all marketiiuj matters in Georgia. When ,
the farmer’s product is ready to be dis
posed of it is the duty and the privilege
of this buieau to find a satisfactory
market for the same, to aid in its wise
and proper dissemination, and so insure
the farmer of obtaining a satisfactory
return on what he offers for sale.
The proposition which you have pre
sented co my attention, therefore, is one
beyond the province of the College of
Agriculture and whidh belongs purely
to the state bureau of markets,* Atlanta.
Ga. In view of the large number of
incuiries vou are receiving and the com
plaints made to you relative to the diffi
culty of farmers finding an accentable
or profitable market for the surplus of
various crops which they have produced
in your section of the state, permit me
to suggest that you should advise them
to get in touch immediately with Mr.
Jackson, of the state market bureau,
who, bv reason of the responsibilities
Imposed on him by Ihe law, will be
glad to find a market Immediately for
their crops and dispose of them in a
manner which will best insure the larg
est return to the farmers of your sec
tion of the state.
Returning Serbs Tell
Stories of Suffering
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—An officii’
dispatch today to the Serbian legation
from Saloniki said Serbian prisoners
were returning home from Bulgaria in
a deplorable condition after three years
of suffering and that many had died en
route.
The number of prisoners had not been
determined, it was stated, because of
the great haste of the Bulgarian govern
ment to get them home as rapidly as
possible so that Serbian military and
government officials would not see the
camps in which they had been living.
"But unfortunately for the Bulgarian
government,” the dispatch added, “other
elements belonging to the allies lived
alongside the Serbian prisoners and
were eyewitnesses of the atrocities to
which they were subjected. These al
lied prisoners narrated stories that made
one shudder.”
In addition to prisoners of war, 200.-
000 civilians deported by the Bulgarian
authorities are struggling home.
Dash and Valor of
Americans Praised
’ WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. —American
operations north of the Argonne are re
ceiving the praise of the French and
British for their dash and valor. French
cables today declared.
The work of the Americans, it was j
pointed out, is rapidly forcing a crisis |
for the German troops remaining in i
northern France and west of the Meuse
in Belgium
Paris and London military critics are
of the opinion, according to the cables,
that the pressure now being exerted
against the Germans by the Franco-
British to the east of Valenciennes and
by the Franco Americans north of the
Argonne will make it difficult for the
Germans to put up resistance on the
line of Aveanes-Hirson-Mezieres.

the charge was connected with the mon

that If the monstrance were moved an

the church down upon the heads of the
worshippers would have taken place.
The officer commanding the American

I desire to return grateful thanks to
the dear, blessed readers of The Scini-
Weekiy Journal who promptly sent me
clippings on which the prescription was
printed. In one mail sixteen clippings
came to me. And better than all were
the loving, tender words of remembrance
to me personally. ’ln my old age I do
not often weep—rareiy for trouble —but
I do occasionally find glad tears creep
ing down my aged cheeks, and when I
gaw these dear letters, so full of k*nd
thoughts for me. 1 was aware that glad
tears are very easy to come —to an oc
togenarian.
In this place I desire to say that the
"fiu ’ has been severe in our part of
the state. We had some experience with
it and three ne:ghboring houses have
had from one to two cases. No death--,
however, right about us, for which the
Loid be praised!
There is one type of influenza that is
very stubborn and difficult to cope with.
1 allude to the sort that afflicts the
head rather than the throat. It seems
to concentrate inside the forehead ana
ears, above the eyebrows, extending to
the temples and ears.
That sort of influenza I know some
thing about. At one time, in 1884, I
was so ill with it that Dr. 11. V. M.
Miller, one of Georgia's great men and
great doctors, looked after me. The
pain became so violent that I could not
see. My eyelids refused to work. At
last the doetor procured Spanish leeches
and placed five at one time just over
my eyebrows and at the root of my
nose.
As the painful part could not be
poulticed or treated with mustard or
blisters, ho said it was necessary to
draw away the congested blood that
settled in these intricate frontal bones.
The leeches brought away an astonish
ing amount of this dark congested
blood, and I was able to sleep again
and my vision was restored. “The
most excruciating toothache could only
compare with what I endured when the
influenza got to going in full tide. It
was thus relieved.
Infamous Bolshevik!
Those of our Semi-Weekly readers
who read the official order of the pres
ent mob-rulers of Russia arc lullv
aware of the condition of things dver
there. But there are numbers who did
not see the printed report, and 1 am
writing for their information.
The mob rulers are not content with
executing the czar and looting and mur
dering the intelligent and well raised
people of that unhappy country, but
they have entered into a deliberate and
atrocious scheme-to beastialiEe the en
tire population. The oficial order Is
too long to print. I will try to give the
substance briefly.
All women over eighteen years are
required to appear before a registrar
in their section and give their names,
ages and places of residence. Then all
men so desiring, of any ago, can come
forward and choose. The women over
eighteen can choose out of the men who
appear. These women, of child-bearing
age, are compelled to live with such
men long enough to insure a result.
Then the children become the property
of the state. In fact, they are to be
the gun-fodder, the soldiers, for futura
wars, and the hapless women are con
tinned as beasts of burden, so long as
they can bear children for the state. I
was so indignant on reading this offi
cial order, and so helpless in my indig
nation that I could only pray: “Good
Lord, save these poor women, or take
hem out of the world by a plague."
“Anything but this.” I cried. Anything
in better than to be compelled to bear
children under such revolting and beast
ly conditions.
My mind goes back to the claim and
boast that Christian civilization was
extending over all nations of the earth
and to the islands of the sea, before
this war began.
It would appear that, Christian civil
izatlon is fast disappearing in Europe,
when we read of this official order of
Russian rulers, and the treatment ac
corded to helpless women in France and.
Belgium.
The terrible ravages of war. we see,
are not confined to the killng of human
kind by-the millions, or to the poverty
and misery of helpless men, women
and children, but the bestial appetites
of wicked people are preying on the very
lives of their own young women and lit
tle children.

Get Two Enemy Planes
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN

160 Hens —TSOO Eggs
Mrs. H. M. Patton, Waverly, Mo,
writes, "I fed 2 boxes of ‘More Eggs’
to my hens and broke the egg record. I
got 1,500 eggs from 160 hens in exact
ly 21 days.” You can do as well. In
fact, any poultry raiser can easily dou
ble his profits by doubling the egg pro
duction of his hens. A ecientific tonic
has been discovered that revitalizes* the
flock and makes hens work all the time.
The tonic is called “More Eggs.” Give
your hens a few cents’ worth of “More
Eggs,” and you will be amazed and de
lighted with results. A dollar’s worth
of “More Eggs" will double this year’s
production of eggs, so if you wish to try
this great profit maker, write E. J.
Reefer, poultry expert, 5178 Reefer Bldg.,
Kansas City, Mo., who will send you
a season’s supply of “More Eggs” Toni?
for SI.OO (prepaid). So confident ‘s
Mr. Reefer of the results that a mil
lion dollar bank guarantees if you are
not absolutely satisfied, your dollar
will be returned on request and the
“More Eggs” costs you nothing. Send
a dollar today or ask Mr. Reefer for
his free poultry book that tells the ex
perience of a man who has made a
fortune out of poultry.—(Advt.)

| Grind Year Feed at Home ;
the corn and grain you feed to your
I 1 stock. Ground feed is digested—it puts
on that solid flesh that comes only from proper
feeding—and none of it is wasted.
Use an International Feed Grinder, which grinds corn on
-Y the cob, small grain, or corn in the husk, to any degree of i c
M fineness, and costs but little for power. i*
There are three types of International feed grinders, each
type in different sizes to meet all requirements. Type B grinds '
corn on the cob and small grain, and is made with 6,8, and
10-inch plates. Tyne C, for small grain only, is a high speed, ji
a rapid-grinding mill, with 6 and 8-inch plates. Type D, the f
S heavy grinder, is made for corn in the husk. It has a spiral i •
cutter and 8 or 10-inch grinding plates.
All International grinders are strongly built or steel, rein
forced wherever necessary; arc provided with all necessary fi’
■J safety appliances to prevent injury and breakage, and with &
al! necessary attachments. When power is supplied by a
■ steady running, economical International Kerosene Eng ; nc,
you could not have a better grinding outfit, or one that would
do the work at less expense. Write us for catalogues. * , F
