“IT IDEAL PE."
My ideal home is not a home to
eat and sleep in, but it is a home
kept lovely and beautiful by loving
hands.
No one in the home is a slave for
the ether, but all are loving helpers.
The husband and wife work to
gether in perfect harmony and neith
er tries to be “boss.”
Love reigns supreme in this home j
and each member is loving, patienti
and true, and lias a deep considera
tion tor the other.
The members in this home are not
ashamed of love, for they know that
true love is the sweetest tiling on
earth; the only thing that makes
life worth living. They know that
a loving smile into tired eyes, or a
gentle word, will mak9 the way
seem brighter. They do not think
that love is just for a little while,
but know that if properly cared for
it will live forever, and eacli one
cultivates and cares for this undying
love. £ach one has learned the
habit of looking on the bright side oi
everything. It is a happy, healthy
habit.
They know that home is what
they make it, and they make it the
most beautiful place on earth. It is
a lovely, cheerful place, filled with
love and sunshine. It is made so
bright and attractive that all who
enter it find rest and cheer, and the
hearts of all who pass are filled
with pleasure and admiration.
It is a scene of peace, harmony
and hospitality. The bond of love
between husband and wife is strong
and years to come willonly strength
en it. Their hearts are kept young
and fresh. Kindness, cheerfulness
and deepest thought are cultivated.
They never let an opportunity
pass to do a kindness for someone.
I’hey always think “any good thing
we can do, any kindness we can
siiow to any one, let us do it now;
we may never have the opportunity
again.”
There is no selfish ness in this home
and eacli one works for the other’s
happiness. Loved ones are shelter
ed from all outside care and worry.
The sacred flame of love is glowing
in eacli heart and the angel with the
apgel with the flaming sword guards
the home, carefully watching over
all.
This, dear reader, is my ideal
home. We should all strive to
make our homes our ideals. —Ella

Windmills as Newspapers.
In Holland births, marrlnges and
deaths, instead of being recorded In
newspapers, are Indicated by wind
mills. When a miller gets married be
stops his mill with the arms of the
wheel in a slanting position and with
the sails unfurled. His friends and
guests frequently do likewise with
their mills. In token of the ceremony.
To indicate a birth the wheel is
stopped with the arms in a slanting
position, but at a more acute angle
than for a marriage and with the
two upper sails' unfurled. Should a
miller die the sails of his mill are all
furled and the wheel is turned round
until the arms form an upright cross,
in which position they are left until
after the funeral has taken place.
Always Raining.
There Is a group of Islands to the
south of New Zealand called the Sis
ters. or Seven Sisters, which are re
puted to be subjected to a practically
constant rainfall. The same may be
said of the ishnids and mainland ot
Tierrn del f’uego. saving for the dlf
ference that the rain often takes form
of sleet and snow. On a line running
round the world from four to eight
or nine degrees there are patches over
which rain seldom ceases,to fall. This
Is cnlled the "zone of constant precipi
tation." but at the same time there
are several localities along it with very
little rainfall.
The Smallest Watch.
A rich resident of Moscow owns the
smallest watch in the world. It was
made in Geneva by the famous watch
maker. W. Goeglin. and cost more
than $20,000. It has a diameter of one
fifth of an Inch and is set in an arti
ficially worked finder ring, which is
studded with diamonds. Goeglin is
said to have worked three years on it
and permanently weakened bis eye
sight in the task.

State Entomologist Ready for 801 l
•Weevil and Black Root —Other
Important Work.
Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—By cross
ing Egyptian long staple cotton with
a domestic variety called Dixie, the
Georgia State Department of Ento
mology has produced an entirely new
variety, as yet unnamed, which will
meet boll weevil conditions, by matur
ing early, and will at the same time
resist the black root or wilt disease.
This new variety of cotton, which
has been developed under the direc
tion of State • Entomologist E. Lee
Worsham, Is an intermediate long sta
ple ootton, that will bring a prioe far
in advance of the ordinary upland or
short staple cotton. It is of a kind
that will bring about twenty cents a
pound on the regular market, under
normal conditions.
After a long and careful series of
experiments, under the direction of
Mr. Worsham, this cotton has been
produced with a combination of qual
ities never before possessed by any
one variety. It has three elements
which are of hundred-fold value for
the very reason that they are com
bined; it meets boll weevil conditions,
it resists the wilt disease, and will
grow practically anywhere in the oot
ton belt, whereas Sea Island cotton,
the only other long staple variety in
this country, Is confined to a narrow
belt near the sea coast.
This new strain of cotton was
evolved to meet the peculiar situation
which will develop in Georgia when
the boll weevil crosses over from Ala
bama next year. All specialists had
agreed that the best way to combat
boll weevil was to use early matur
ing varieties, but in Georgia it was
found that the varieties which ma
tured early were peculiarly suscepti
ble to black root and would only es
cape one post to be ruined by another.
In the light of this situation, the very
great importance of the State Board's
contribution to the situation becomes
at once apparent. , ,
More Seed Later.
For the time being the supply of
seed for this new strain will be small,
as the State Department has only
about an acre of it, but this is to be
distributed in small quantities to
farmers who will take a careful inter
est in the development of the new
variety and will cultivate it in ac
cordance with rules furnished by the
department. The seed will naturally
be distributed first In that section
of the state where the boll wsevil
will first strike, that is to say, in
Southwestern Georgia. In the section
which includes some twenty-five count
ties next to the Alabama line, Mr.
Worsham has already organized cot
ton-breeding clubs, composed of plan
ters who will cooperate with the de
partment in bringing about the fur
ther development of the new cotton.
The department, under Mr. Wor
sham’s guidance, is engaged in a
continual and aggressive warfare
against crop and fruit pests and dis
eases of all kinds. These diseases, it
is estimated, would cost Georgia’s
crops $25,000,000 or $30,000,000 a year
if no efforts were made to control
them. ► ■
The Red Bplder Scourge.
Mr. Worsham has issued a num
ber of bulletins, dealing with various
plant diseases and pests, which have
attracted attention all over the coun
try. His red spider bulletin in colors
is considered an authority on the sub
ject. These bulletins are sent free
to all applicants, whether Georgians
or not. Mr. Worsham’s experiments
have made possible the practical con
trol of the red spider problem. An
other free bulletin is about to be is
sued, dealing with the mole cricket.
It Is the controlling of plant dis
eases and Insects that has made pos
sible the growing of perfect fruit In
Georgia. Through their work it is
now possible to control at small ex
pense the San Jose scale, peach cur
culio, coddling moth of the apple,
brown rot, apple scab and other orch
ard diseases. In addition all nurse
ries and growing stocks are inspected
once a year, and a strict examina
tion is made of all nursery stock Im
ported from abroad.
Mr. Worsham is now planning for
his agricultural Institutes for next
year. He holds about one hundred
annually in connection with the State
College of Agriculture, and some
twenty-five of his own, dealing solely
with entomological subjects. In Feb
ruary he will organize cotton clubs
in 25 counties immediately east of
those already organized against the
boll weevil. Any citizen of Georgia
is at liberty to call on the depart
ment for special service or assistance
at any time without charge. The
appropriations made by the legisla
ture have been increased from SIO,OOO
to $23,000 annually, since he took
charge of the department.
Mr Worsham was elected presi
dent of the Southern Conservation
Congress in 1910; later he was made
chairman of the executive committee
of the National Conservation Con
gress, a permanent institution.
