Worms and Blossom-end
Rot of Tomatoes.
The tom'ato worm has been
rather severe in Georgia this sea
son. This worm is the same
species as the corn ear worm,
and often does considerable dam
age to corn also.
For a number of years the
Georgia experiment station hits
been conducting spray experi
ments for the control of certain
tomato diseases and has been
adding different arsenical poisons
in sol effort to control the tomato
wor m which bores into the fruit
and destroys such a large per
centageof it.
One of the difficulties of poison
ing this worm is that it bores di
rectly in the fruit and does prac
tically all its feeding on the in
side of the fruit. Thus it is ad
visable to use spray mixtures
with a high per centage of poison
and cover the fruit very thorough
ly with the spray so as to in
crease the chances of the worm
getting a fatal dose as it eats
through the skin of the fruit to
enter. The following spray mix
ture is recommended for this
purpose:
Powdered arsenate of
lead 1 1-2 lbs.
Unslaked lime 3 lbs.
Resin-fish oil soap 3 lbs.
Water 50 gals.
The fish oil soap in this mix
ture has been so .nd to make it
spread and adhere better to the
fruit.
In addition to spraying, it is
very important to pick off and
destroy fne wormy tomatoes, es
pecially during the early part of
the season so a-* to reduce the
number of worms in the second
brood.
The blossom-end rot has also
been severe- in the State this
year. This disease which forms
a circular dark colored spot on
the blossom end of the tomato
when it is hardly half-grown, is
not an infectuous trouble, but is
due to dry-weather, and can be
prevented by keeping the soil
well watered. H. P. Stuckey,
Director.

CALLING CARDS
Nothin* i* ho fittlhnit hut that It may
I be found out hy seeking. Terrence.
A WillTKit on social usage has
called attention to the fact that
in tli(> countries of Europe the eti-
I quelle of the calling card is clearly
laid down hy social law ; In this conn
| try It Is left In the itlr.
If there were hut a congress of cus
tom where some one could go and in
troduce a law setting forth flic occa
sions tut which ihc calling card can
with propriety lie used and the occa
sions on which it cannot be used how
much confusion cob Id be avoided! As
this caunot he done, ue can only do
our best with our calling cards, and
trust to luck and instinctive good taste
that we will not break such laws as
there arc.
In some sections of the country it
is customary for newcomers to make
the first call, and as cards are the em
blems of calls the rules regulating
them can he grouped with those regu
lating yard usage. In most sections
It Is customary for the old resident tb
make the first call. In still other
places It is usual for u newcomer to
send out ut-liome cards to such per
sons as she chances to meet and de
sires to become acquainted with.
It Is usual, however, in most places,
for the old resident to make the llrst
call. It is essential for the person
culled on to return this first call or
else rnn the risk of being culled rude.
The newcomer who waits for others
to call on her, no matter where she is,
|\ill do better than the newcomer who
makes tirst calls where this is not cus
tomary.
Here are a few hints which should
be observed In the etiquette of card
usage:
Always call or leave cards within
ten flays after a dinner, reception or
dance Invitation, whether It is accept
ed fir declined.
Call or leave cards after teas,
unless you arc sure that custom of
the neighborhood exempts you from
this duly. In swine of the big cities,
among many groups, cards are apt re
quired after teas. But an unnecessary
call or card can never he objected to.
Send cards when it is impossible to
attend u tea for which cards have been
sent.
Leave cards or call at the home of
Hie mother of a bride whose wedding
or reception at the house you have at
tended.
Married women leave a card of
their own for each woman of the
household, a card of their husband for
each married woman and another for
her husband. Young men or bachelors
of any age leave cards for the daugh
ter of the household and for her
I mother.
Here are live “dun’ts” about cards:
Never regret an irfvitatlon tut a
card. An Imitation sent on a card, if
it demands an answer, should be an
swered by note.
j Never leave a card without making
a call on any one's day at home.
l'o not return tirst calls by card
alone unless the hostess is not home
when you call. In that case a curd
may he left.
Never have anything put on the card
but the name, address and, if wunted.
the flay at home. ,

1 1 Common Errors in English and 1'

THE USE OF “ANY."

nr KNOW tlm family well, and the
1 youngest sou is brighter than any
of them." This sentence is incorrect
and should he changed to “I know the
family well, and the youngest son is
brighter than any other one of
them," or “brighter than any of the
rest of the family.”
When the sentence first quoted is
analyzed- -that is, taken apart and ex
amined critically—ii seems 'to say
tliut the youngest son is brighter than
himself; for. of course, he is one, or
any one, of the family. Such a state
ment is absurd, and to express clearly
the meaning of the writAr or speaker it
is necessary to insert some word or
words (such as “other” or “the rest
of) to show the comparison between
the member of the family under dis
cussion and the rest of the family.
If you say, "The blacksmith is
stronger than any man,” you imply
that the blacksmith is not a man. Say,
Iheivfi.re, “The blacksmith is stronger
than any other man.”

EXPLOSIVES.
i.V THE early days of warfare com
bustibles were hurled at the enemy
to help demoralize Ids ranks. Many
experiments wore conducted with the
idea of producing highly inflammable
material. Roger Bacon, a monk, in
the Thirteenth century, while experi
menting on this subject, happened to
too pun- instead of impure saltpetre,
with the result that he nearly wrecked
the plan*, hut from this discovery

Egg Strangely Marked.
A new-laid > gg was put in a pan to
boil and when the white began to
whiten, says an Ontario reader, she
noticed a dark spot appear. The dark
spot was so like a tiny mouse that
when she showed the egg mill in the
pan to three men they thought it was
a mouse.
