Ends Decay of Fruits
LOS ANGELIib. —hollowing thir
ty-five years of scientific research.
I>r. Henry Barringer Cox, an in
ventor, has announced that he is of
fering to the world as a New Year’s
gift a method by which fruits and
vegetables can be preserved indefi
nitely without ice or chemicals and
at little cost.
The method prevents loss of odor,
flavor and vitality, says the scien
tist. The products are placed in a
can of tin or other metal and a
connection made between the can
and a gas or water pipe connected
with either earth or water.
‘‘By means of this connection with
the earth currents,” said Dr. Cox.
“the vital forces of the earth are
transmitted to the products in the.
receptacle which are thus kept in as
perfect a state as when on the vine
or the tree. The only necessity is
a little air supplied through small
holes and a vitalizer costing about
$lO placed in the bottom of the ves
sel to equalize distribution of the
earth currents."
Although what looked like ven
tilators were built by the Romans
in the roofs of their buildings, their
obpect was to regulate the tempera
ture ratjier than the air supply ot
the building.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
That Good Garden
Many people are interested in
gardening, and it is well that this
should be so. The garden can be
made one of the most important
assets of the home, and in our
supposedly well ordered civilization
this should always be the case. The
high cost of living has accentuated
an interest in the home garden. It
is to be hoped that it will have a
permanent effect and that there
wiil be an ever-increasing ratio of
interest in the garden.
There is an impression in the
minds of many that if we have meat
on the table and bread the chief
requirements of the dietary have
been supplied. There never was a
more mistaken notion, because we
require the mineral salts which veg
etables supply. The quantity of iron
in the human system may appear
to be infinitesimal, but it is none
the less essential to the health and
happiness of the human being.
Moreover, the green leaves of veg
etables supply vitamines, a sub
stance which is apparently hard to
define, but which physiologists have
clearly demonstrated is necessary
if the normal nutrition of men and
animals is to be * properly safe
guarded. Milk supplies the largest
quantity of these materials, and
next to that comes fresh vegetables.
So the garden is assuming a new
importance in our household econ
omy and we must encourage its
development and logic mainte
nance and use in every possiblbe
way in the interest of our own prog
ress and that of those who come
after us.
Now is the time to be thinking
about the garden, though most peo
ple will imagine that nexxt March
or April is the appropriate sea
son to give it consideration. A gar
den is not made in a day, and one
who has a satisfactory garden will
think about it 365 days of every
year. At this season of the year
the garden soil that is not occupied
by ' growing crops should be broken
deeply. Remember that an open sub
soil is just as desirable in the case
of garden plants as the deepest
rooting and feeding of the field
crops. Garden crops must be pro
duced in a short period and hence
a highly fertile, friable, deep, soft
soil is necessary. The garden is in
tensively cultivated and one crop
after another is planted frequently
on the same land. The soil gets
comparatively little rest so it must
be liberally supplied with plant
foo dand the most carefully planned
rotation of crops followed. For in
stance, turnips planted in one cor
ner of the garden may rust or de
cay from one cause or another. Do
not make the mistake of bringing
this crop on that same area of land
another year. Do not follow beets
with beets or carrots with carrots.
Garden Diseases
The very fact that various dis
eases may gain a foothold in the
garden makes it all the more impor
tant that we should plow it deeply
•in the early autumn and turn it
two or three times during the sea
son if possible. This practice does
not insure the destruction <sf fungus
diseases by any means, but at least
it will help to free the soil of some
of these to a certain extent, and it
will enable you to fight the insect
pests more satisfactorily. Many of
these burrow down into the soil to
hibernate, and by constantly turn
ing the land and bringing fresh
parts of it to the surface of the
ground you give the freezes a bet
ter chance to kill out and destroy
many hibernating insects. The
freezes also help to pulverize the
soil and the weathering hastens the
decay of vegetable matter, which
must be incorporated in every gar
den soil.
The best method of handling the
unoccupied part of the garden at
this season is as follows: If the
area is very restricted spade it
deeply: the deeper the better. Many
of the old gardens of Europe, where
labor was cheap, were trenched sole
ly for the purpose of aerating and
draining the soil, keeping it deep
and friable, and giving- the winter
I rains a chance to soak tn and the
frosts to do their share in pulver
izing the land.
If the area is larger plow it. A
bull tongue may be used behind the
plow to break up the subsoil. Do
not try to smooth the land down,
but leave it as rough as possible.
It will then catch more of the wat
er which falls as rain. Before
breaking the land any trash which
is growing on it, say the waste
from the tomato crop or from corn
or beans, should be cut down and
then turned under as deeply as pos
sible. In addition to the above it
will be the very best practice if
several loads of yard manure can
be scattered over the surface and
turned under. Now is a good time
to turn the manure under. During
the winter months it will decay and
yield up its plant food and make
the soil rich for the crops which
are to be planted in the early
spring. Os course the manure may
be put on as a top dressing. The
writer has followed both practices
with about equally satisfactory re
sults. Where one can secure well
rotted yard manure it is preferable
to use it in the spring. If it is rath
er strawy and long it is preferable
to turn it under in the fall.
Early Plowing
It will seldom happen that a
period does not occur sometime be
tween January Ist and February
15th when the land can be again
plowed. This time a part of it
should be laid off in rows for Irish
potatoes and an area of it should
be worked down and prepared for
planting to onions, carrots, beets
and greens. A little later lettuce and
cabbage can be set out. The earlier
these crops are planted, relatively
speaking, the better it will be. I
realize they could be planted too
soon in north Georgia, bqt I have
never yet lost any of them from
early planting, though I have fre
quently put all of these crops out
except cabbage and lettuce the first
of February. I think lettuce will be
seldom lost if planted in the open
in north Georgia after March Ist,
and cabbage will seldom be injured
if planted after February 15th. I
know that an exceptional cold spell
may occur later on, but I am speak-'
ing of the rule and not the excep
tion at this time.
By laying off the potato rows say
in January this crop may be plant
ed about February Ist and new
Irish potatoes can then be had from
the home garden around the first
of May. A great many people wait
until late March to plant Irish po
tatoes, and they find the crop does
not do well. This is not a warm
weather crop but a cool weather
crop. The same Is true of the other
kinds of vegetables mentioned above.
It is a great mistake to leave the
garden unbroken in the fall. If it
is covered with weeds and trash
the insects have the most favorable
for hibernating and they
will surely take advantage of it
and come out early in the spring
literally in hordes to attack every
little plant as it emerges from the
ground. In addition the weeds and
trasM along the garden fences Should
be removed and made to form the
basis of a compost heap. Vines
which may be growing on the fences
should also be taken down and han
dled in the same way. The leaves
from the trees in the front yard
should b? gathered up and com
posted, and not burned as is the
common practice. Burning is an ab
solute waste of good material and
lessens the ability of the shade
trees to do tlipir part next year, as
well as necessitating the purchase
of additional fertilizer by the own
'er of the home.
Compost and Insects
! Someone will doubtless say that
I the compost pile will form a favor
| able hibernating place for insects.
’lt will if it is not properly han
! died. If it is piled over three or
i four times during the year and kept
wet it is surprising how quickly all
the materials it contains will be
broken down and reduced to a
form of humus. There is nothing
better than this material to fill the
cold frame with each- ■Of
course, it is desirable to have some
yard manure in the ■cold frame, but
hundreds of householders are so
situated that they cannot secure it,
; hence they must depend oir the next
best thing. I have used the decayed
material secured from a compost
heap for years past in a cold fTarne
and have been able to grow lettuce
and such other winter crops as re
quire some protection successfully
i nthls way.
There is an* impression that fresh
ly worked soil immediately planted
constitutes the best way of insur
j ing large crops. My experience in
! gardening does not bear this theory
I out. Soil for garden crops must be
(loose and -friable, but it must also
'be reasonably compact. A firm soil
(in which to plant seed is much
(more desirable than a soil which is
too loose and likely to dry out
i too quickly, especially if there are
,a’ few days of hot, dry weather. The
more vegetable matter there is in
the soil the less likely it is to bake
and crust on the top and thus pre-
I vent the germination of the small
j seeds which characterize most gair
j den crops.
It is not a very difficult matter
to grow in one corner of the garden
some legumes such as soy beans,
peanuts or cowpeas. The vines of
these may be turned under and help
to enrich the soil and promote the
carrying out of that rotation of
crops which, as already pointed out.
is so essential. Os course, cowpeas
and beans should be grown in corn
and other crops of this type. They
help to enrich the land and they
occupy the soil at a season after
the other crop has furnished its
quota of food.
To many it may seem incredible,
bub the ‘writer knows whereof he
speaks when he says that a garden
of less than half an acre may be
made to provide every kind of vege
table needed for a family of sev
eral people and afford for sale veg
etables which, at present prices,
will readily bring SIOO to S2OO of
i additional revenue. If all the crops
in a garden of this character were
I sold at present prices the returns
j might be made to run as high as
! S4OO to SSOO. This is easily on the
! basis of SI,OOO of gross turn-over
I per acre.
Surely a garden is worth while.
1 And remember that now is the time
| to prepare so. it.
| THE ILERITS OF BASIC SB AG
PHOSPHATE
, F. H. VV.. Bolingbroke, Ga.. writes;
We are offered basic phosphate for
. .$23.50 per ton at Birmingham. It is
| claimed to be superior to acid phosphate
containing in addition to 18 per cent of
[ phosphoric acid about 40 per cent of
i lime. Have you had any experience
with this material and what do you
think of it for use on corn and cotton'i
We were thinking of making a mixture
of 100 pounds of.nitrate of soda and
j 200 pounds of 16 per cent acid or the
; same amount of the basic slag. What
! do you think of this plan?
i The material about which you in-
I quire no doubt contains a total' of
j IS per cent of phosphoric acid anti
i probably 40 per cent of lime as well.
! Presumably it will not lump or cake.
! in accordance with the claims made
for it. On the other hand, the phos
phoric acid is not availaljle, where
as in acid phosphate of a good grade
16 per cent of the phosphoric acid
is available and in position to fur
nish immediate supplies of this plant
food to crops grown on a given area
of land. The phosphoric acid and
basic slag will no doubt become
slowly available in the soil. It will
become much more quickly available
on lands which are rich in vegetable
matter or humus, or where one can
use it in association with heavy ap
plications of yard manure. Com
post obtained from the woods by
gathering decayed leaves together,
if put in the drill row will no doubt
be beneficial in helping the phos
phoric acid it contains to become
available.
Under the circumstances, there
fore, and in accordance with our
experience we cannot regard this ma
terial as containing as quickly avail
able plant food as acid phosphate.
Our idea is that about 8 per cent or
possibly 10 per cent of the phosphoric
acid might become available during
the first year under favorable con
ditions, whereas practically all of
that in acid phosphate ought to be
come available. We believe that
ac s phosphate is now an essential
element in the fertilization of cot
ton, because we must hasten the
maturity of this crop as much as
possible on account of the presence
of the boll weevil.
In our experience acid phosphate
has been demonstrated to be an ele
ment which hastens the maturity of
crops because it is primarily con
cerned in the formation and perfec
tion of seeij. Therefore, we believe
that its liberal use is advisable un
der cotton, and it is best to apply
it under existing conditions in the
•most available form.
Where one can establish crop rota
tion or where live stock farming is
practiced on an extensive scale we
would not hesitate to use consider
able amounts of basic slag phos
phate. This is good material under
such conditions, but we do not be
lievp we are ready to advocate its
use as a substitute for acid phos
phate at -the present time.
The lime in this material is, of
Course, of some benefit to the land,
but where one is using lime for
the improvement of the. leguminous
crop we would probably prefer to
apply a ton of crushed ram lime rock
per acre. Hence we hardly think
it would pay you to buy this ma
terial for the sake of getting lime.
We believe you will find it advis
able to use more nitrate of soda and
phosphoric acid than your letter in
dicates. We believe that under boll
weevil conditions an application of
thirty pounds of available nitrogen
per acre and as much as forty-eight
or fifty pounds of phosphoric acid
is desirable
■Farming Opportunities for Women
E. F., PARROTT. Ga., writes: Do
you liiiow of a farm fixed for the work
of women? Some of them would love
the work as well as men if they did
not have to work beyond their strength.
Would be glad to hear if you know of
such -a farm.
The article to which you refer
evidently eseftped my attention, as I
do not happen to know of any farm
which has been prepared for culti
vation by women in the vicinity of
Atlanta or elsewhere in the state. I
presume a considerable number of
Georgia women helped operate farms
during the war period and probably
it is' this to which you refer. Os
course, a great many women and
girls helped in the garden movement,
whielf was'inaugurated in this state
and Which has resulted in the pro
ductfdn and preservation of so much
essential food. Women also helped
to carry on many other farm enter
; prises and did their full part in a
most, admirable way. There is, of
j course, no reason why women should
' not operate truck farms, gardens,
i orchards, dairy farms, or any other
■ sort of agricultural enterprise in
■ which they might desire to special
' ize. This is one reason why the
■ state college of agriculture is offer*
( ing training to the women of the
: state. Not that they are to confine
■ their efforts to this field by any
: means whatever. It is our purpose
' to give them a broad and liberal
education and to fit them for serv
-1 ice in any field in which they wish
;to specialize. At the ( same time it
j is our wish to open up opportunities
ito /them whereby they might fit
th&hiselveA as specialists in floricul
i ture, horticulture, gardening poultry
husbandry, agronomy and bacteri
i ology. They will also, on the other
hdind. have an opportunity to special
! ize in human nutrition, food, chem
f is : try, institutional management,
' home economics, home decoration.
I art needlework, dressmaking, and
( various other lines in which women
! are specially interested.
Women educated and, trained in
the manner we are now fostering
wilj ultimately take a. noteworthy
position in the management and han
dling of our affairs as they pertain
to the home, the garden and the or
chard. Women who receive the
draining we are offering here will be
able to go out and take charge of
enterprises such as you have 'indi
cated, or will organize them if they
{ave funds of their own or can se
ure the interest of someone else in
giving them the opportunity they
need to demonstrate their ability.
I do not know that this answers
your question, but 1 have been try
ing to explain to you that your point
of view is appreciated and that the
college of agriculture and those as
sociated with it are endeavoring in
every possible way to give women
the opportunity to perfect them
' selves along the lines you have sug
gested.
i Should Wo Change Our Plan of Cot
ton Cultivation
B. S., La Mesa. New Mex.. writes:
The land we are going to plant to cot
ton has been in alfalfa for fifteen years.
[ We have been advised to skip every
third row of cotton and plant cowpease.
; plow these under when in bloom, and
to inoculate the cotton seed. Do you
think it will pay us to plant this way
i for this year's crop? We want to cul-
I tivate the land for two or three years
j and then sow to alfalfa again.
In Georgia we are advocating the
planting of cotton in the usual way

HEN’S TEETH ARE “SCARCE;”
THEREFORE, HELP HER “CHEW”
The old saw, “as scarce as hen’s
teeth,” would be quite as true if
“turkey” or any other member of
the bird family had been substi
tuted tor “hen.” The entire ornitho
logical division of the animal king
dom is toothless. No painful filling
of bicuspids in their young lives nor
crowning of mlars in their later
days! In the bird family there is
not a particle of need of screwing
courage up to the point where an
appointment with the dentist is made,
no enduring of anguish in the chair
for them, and none to be faced later
when the bill comes in. When a
hen’s “teeth” become inefficient she
simply discards them and picks up
some new ones. Truly, there are
many compensations in having been
born a bird.
How Hen’s Digestion Works.
Armed with a beak, the hen is able
to pick up food o£ fairly good size,
but she is provided with no way of
breaking it into smaller particles in
her mouth, for she has neither teeth
nor lips. Instead, the food is swal
lowed whole and. is stored in her
crop until needed by the stomach.
Then its walls contract and down
it goes into the stomach.
This stomach has ,two parts, one
where the food is soaked with a se
cretion of acid and ferment pepsin,
and the other where the grinding
takes place. The latter,,is commonly
known as the gizzard. Because of
this organ's work in pulverizing food
to small particles, the hen and every
other member of the bird family is
able to dispense with teeth. The
“teeth” of a bird are realy the “grit”
which it consumes with its food.

deemed “hereditary" has been prov
en beyond doubt not inherited but in
instances communicated by the par
ent to the child after birth.
Certain tissues weaknesses in the
body seem to be hereditary, for en
tire families will often all have a
tendency to digestive disorders, to
diseases of the respiratory organs
or even .to deafness. This sort of
hereditary tendency is of the same
character as that which endows
whole families with a certaip
shaped nose or with similarly col
ored syes. Nervous diseases also
seem to mark some families and
these disorders range all the way
from slight manifestations to out
right insanity. This class of dis
ease is the most difficult of all to
fight, but even diseases of the nerv
ous system may be prevented from
developing and if the tendency to

between the rows could be increas

leave two plants 18 to 24 inches
apart in the drill row, as we obtain
tlie best yields of cotton by thi»
practice.
We do not understand what you
mean by inoculating- the cotton seed.
We know of no practice of this char
acter which is followed in this sec
tion of the country. One could in
oculate cowpeas, of course, if one
cared to go to the expense. We have
seldom found any advantage in this
practice and do not recommend it.
On the other hand, inoculation could,
be used to very great advantage on
shiall-seeded legumes, and we strong
ly advocate its use with them. Par
ticularly is this true where one de

shell, and similar substances, in the
gizzard, assist in pulverizing the oth
er articles in its diet. In fact, this
gritty material accomplishes the
same purpose that molar teeth do in
other animals’ mouths. Until It be
comes useless as a digestive aid it
is stored in the gizzard.
The hard, callous pads of the giz
zard are contracted and expanded
during digestion by powerful mus
cles. This motion, together with the
grit, reduces the food to fine par
ticles. The grit is retained in the
stomach until it is smooth and the i
is discarded naturally and another
supply s eaten to take its place.
Grit for Confined Fowls
For this reason fowls kept in con
finement need grit at their disposal
quite as much as other kinds of
feeds. The grit already in their giz
zards, at the time a flock is penned,
might be all that the fowls will re
quire for three or four weeks, but
if more is not supplied digestive
trouble will soon set in. It is safe:
to supply it from the beginning.
Sand will do for the purpose, but
chickens seem to prefer a coarser
grit, one of a size between wheat
and corn. Oyster shells are com
monly supplied to the flock because
of the lime they contain, which is
necessary for shell formation, but
they also serve to some extent as
grit in the diet. *The pieces be
come smooth more quickly than a
harder grit and a fresh supply must
be eaten more often.
United States Department of Ag
riculture poultry specialists state
that a hen needs and will consume
about 1 pound of grit in a 12-
month period.
■weakness of any organs is noted and

Persons with a “family history ’
of tuberculosis should make everv
effort to breathe pure air, to avoid
public drinking cups, to guard them

known to be suffering from the dis
ease and otherwise to protect them
selves against the inrodas of the
tubercle baccilli which is harmless
if it attacks a strong organism and
deadly if it attacks such bodies as
have not developed sufficient re

The best way to fight tubercu-
Icsis, is to make the body strong
enough to fight the germs success
fully. The best way to make the
fcedy strong enough to do this is to
give it the proper food, to observe
the strictest cleanliness, to breathe
fresh, pure air. not only in the day
time, but at night as Well, etc.
