OF COTTON WM OF COLLEGE
By Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture.
One cotton manufacturer who took
a course in cotton grading at the Col
lege of Agriculture claims that it
has saved him $5,000 a year. Eleven
students have been placed in ware
houses and one in cotton breeding
work.
Sunbeam cotton which has been
bred at the College to become resis
tant to anthracnose, is now distribut
ed in 71 counties with about 5,000
acres planted in 1913. It is already
saving about $20,000 annually to the
farmers. Its merits are resistance
to anthracnose, grades high in lint in
market, is early and big boiled and
thus well adapted to boll weevil con
ditions.
Experiments show that a crop of
legumes plowed under gives better
ATTEND FARMERS' INSTI
TUTE THIS SUMMER
*
The State College of Agriculture
has planned to hold a number of far
mers’ institutes during June, July and
August throughout a greater part of
the state. Three teams of men will
cover as many different routes, hold
ing institutes each day at some place.
This is the summer work of the staff
of the college of agriculture, follow
ing the close of the school session.
Subjects will be discussed at these
meetings that touch the present and
future welfare of the Georgia farmer.
The men are sent out for the Informa
tion that they can carry to the farmer.
The farmer is invited to make use of
them to the fullest advantage by ask
ing questions and calling attention to
any local agricultural problems. Each
man in his line, will be glad to answer
every question possible, especially
those that are practical and have to
do with the needs of the locality in
which the institute is being held.
An increasing number of farmers
have been attending these meetings

A complete fertiliser 10-3-4, applied

2,680 pounds of seed cotton per acre,

each year. Wherever they have been
held the attendance is always great
er the next time, proving conclusively
that the lecturers have hit the mark
and have told the farmers things that
have panned out. One South Geor
gia farmer told one of the speakers on
the occasion of his second visit that
he had saved him S7OO by his speech
the year before. Such words of ap
preciation of the practical information
given, are being frequently received.
If any farmer thinks that what
these lecturers are giving to the far
mers is theoretical and not practical,
he is urged to go to the meetings and
prove it. While not Infallible, the
stafT members of the College of Agri
culture do know a good many things
for certain that have been proven with
painstaking care and by unquestionable
methods. It is these facts that they
are seeking to take to the farmer.
Nothing that has not been thoroughly
proven have they the right to advo
cate.
Go out to the farmers institute and
get further information. No one has
too much. It may mean the saving or
the making of many dollars where
none is being made or saved by you
at present.
ITS PREVENTION
Terrible Responsibility of Dis
eased Parents Explained by
State Board of Health.
Diseases of Childhood.
Atlanta, Ga. —The terrible respon
sibility of parents who are suffering
from some constitutional disease and
yet dare to bring children into the
world, is strikingly set forth in a
statement just issued by the Georgia
State Board of Health, explaining la
plain words the influence of heredity
on infant mortality.
People who refuse to face these
facts, says the Bo&rtl of Health, are
deliberately laying both themselves
and their offspring open to untold
misery and suffering. Parents af
flicted with tuberculosis, heart dise
ase, syphilis, kidney disease, epilepsy
or other serious constitutional dise
ases, cannot expect to produce a child
with normal resistance to disease
and unfavorable environment, any
more than a diseased plant can be
expected to produce a perfect flower.
Of all hereditary diseases, syphilis
is undoubtedly the one which works
the greatest havoc. The child may
never come into the world alive at all,
or if it does, it may be hopelessly af
flicted. Rickets, monsters, blindness,
hydrocephalus, insanity, are only a
few of the evils that may result.
A healthy, normal child, can be
produced only by healthy normal par
ents. Even then it is extremely
necessary that prior to the birth of
the inTant the mother be freed as
much as possible from worries and
cares, that her surroundings be sani
tary and cheerful; and that her diet,
exercise and clothing be properly reg
ulated.
Importance of Proper Feeding.
But even after the healthy child
has opened its little eyes to th sun
shine, the responsibility of the par
ents is equally great. No hothouse
plant is more susceptible to unfavor
able influences than a newborn
child. Proper food, fresh air, bath
ing and proper clothing, are the chief
essentials.
Improper feeding is the greatest
single cause of infant mortality. For
information concerning the proper
feeding of infants, the Georgia State
Board of Health has issued a circular,
No. 12, entitled “Keep Baby Well
During the Summer,’ which may be
had for the asking.
Above all, says the Board of
Health, do not get the erroneous idea
that there are some diseases of child
hood which the child is bound to
have, and which are so trivial that
the sooner they are over with the
better. This is altogether wrong.
Practically all the diseases of child
hood can lead to serious complications
and permanent weakness or death.
Children should never be exposed to
contageous ailments, if it can possibly
be avoided, and those suffering from
measles, scarlet fever, chicken-pox,
whooping cough, mumps, diptheria,
etc., should be isolated, quarantined
and attended by a competent physian.
Sanitary Precautions.
A light, airy upstairs room is pre
ferable. If possible, the bed should
be an iron one. The single, firm mat
tress should be entirely covered with
a rubber sheet or oil cloth, and on
top of this the sheets, blankets and
connterpane should be spread. Quilts
should not be used. The pillow
should also have a rubber or oil cloth
covering under the slip. Carpets, pic
tures, and all unnecessary furniture
should be removed. All clothing that
goes from the room should be soaked
in a disinfecting solution before It
is sent out to be washed. Vour phy
sician will tell you how. All other
sanitary precautions should be taken,
such as separate dishes for the
sole use of the patient. All dish
charges must be thoroughly dismiect
ed before they are taken from the
room. The nurse and physician
should be the only persons allowed
in the room, and they should cover
their clothing and hair with washable
cap and gown. Hands should be
washed and disinfected.
When the child :ecovers, it should
be bathed, disinfected, wrapped in a
sheet wet with disinfecting solution
and carried into an adjoining room to
be dressed. In event of dealth, the
body should be disinfected, sealed in
a coffin and given private burial as
soon as possible.
The room should be sealed up, with
paper pasted over fireplace, cracks,
keyhole, etc. Hang up bedclothes;
in water, in pan put crystals or pota
assium permanganate and over this
quickly pour formaldehyde out of
larger mouthed vessel. Leave room
immediately. Keep it locked and
sealed up 12 to 24 hours.

diphtheria, lockjaw meningitis, ty
phoid fever and hydrophobia tha

WAS HAMLET FAT?
With Hi* Own Word* Ha Doth Pro
claim the Fact Quite Pat.
The traditional Hamlet of our stage
Is a lean, ascetic young person, an
idealized, etherealized. heroic creature
evolved for the delectation of the mati
nee girl. He is a horrid sham. Is it
credible that such a 4ian would have
lacked the determination, the purpose
fulness, to put his revenge Into opera
tion pat upon the discovery? It Is all
very well to argue about tils mental
balance. It was his sluggish liver
that stayed him and hampered him
Hamlet's father was a fat and lethar
gic man by his own account.
Sleeping within my orchard.
My custom always of the afternoon
he says in his ghostly interview.
We may then look for some clew to
Hamlet’s character as soon as he is
Alone oil the stage. What are his
words?
Oh. that this too. too solid flesh would
melt!
It Is a keynote that may not be
glossed over as a beautiful thought,
for the same Idea bursts out some lines
farther on. where he says of the world;
Things rank and gross in nature
Possess it merely
Is it credible that such thoughts are
there for any purpose save to guide
us as to the nature of this prince?
They serve a double purpose Not
merely do we learn that Hamlet was
a fat man. but also that he was an an
happy fut man. Hamlet was a man to
whom his hulk was an affliction. He
was handicapped by it and knew that
he was. Some such Idea la discernible
in every one of the great soliloquies.
He scorns himself for a sluggard:
What Is a man
If his chief good and market of his tim
Be but to sleep and feed?
His mind, unhinged or not. Is ob
sessed by fatness, and in the mad tur
moil of emotions after he has slain
Polonlus his thoughts run:
We fat all creatures else to fat us, and
We fat ourselves for maggots.
It bursts out again in the “Oh. what
a rogue and peasant slave!” harangue
Ere this
I should have fatted all the region’s kites
With this slave’s offal.
And who but a fat. lethargic man
would have said in the "To be or not to
be" speech:
Who would fardels bear
To grunt and sweat under a weary life.
Does not the phrase bring to mind at

VARICOSE VEINS.
Their Causes and Effecta and tha
Traatment They Require.
A varicose vein is au enlarged and
twisted vein, generally in the leg. It is
caused by stagnation of the blood.
Often the patient has a hereditary pre
disposition to varicose veins or he has
a weak heart, with a consequent tend
ency to sluggish venous circulation.
Anything that interferes with the
flow of blood through the veins may
bring ou an attack. Pressure from a
tight garter and very severe muscular
exertion are often exciting causes. Per
sons who are obliged to stand for sev
eral hours at a time, like policemen,
washerwomen and saleswomen, are of
ten subject to this trouble Under or
dinary conditions the blood in the legs
must run up hill constantly in order to
regain the heart. In the case of thos
who stand most of the day the blood
has to work hard hour after hour in
order to overcome the force of gravity,
and as a result the veins gradually en
large and harden.
In mild cases of varicose veins, espe
cially in young and otherwise healthy
people, the symptoms are very slight.
There is a feeling of weight in the leg
and a dull ache toward the end of the
day. The ache is soon relieved by the
patient’s resting with the leg somewhat
raised so that the blood can flow back
more easily. Sometimes painful cramps
complicate the trouble, and the cramp
is likely to return again and again until
life becomes a burden.
More serious complications are throm
bosis (or the clotting of the blood in
the veini and phlebitis (or inflamma
tion of a vein). Often a form of ec
zema appears In the skin of the leg, or
an ulcer may arise. When varicose
veins are very troublesome surgical
treatment Is advisable, but the milder
cases can be much relieved by rest and
proper bandaging —Youth’s Companion.
