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.

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. , Purchase Dublin Store. Dublin, Ga., July i).

One of the most popular of the American “movie" stars is Pearl White. She is so well known to the patrons of the picture houses that lit tle or nothing could be said about her that is not already known. Miss White recently sailed for England and posed this picture on the railing of the steamship U_ : HOW DO YOU SAY IT? :j : By C. N. LURIE i : I 1 1 Common Errors in English and 1' | • How to Avoid Them .j THE USE OF “ANY." r 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.” (Copyright.)
