The following appeared in &
March issue of the “Georgla A
official organ of the Georgia W. C. T.
U., and will be of interest to our
readers: /
From Mrs, Furse,
Dear Superintendents and Local
Presidents:—
To those of you who have not-made
New Year ry{oiuuons. and to each
who have already made them, 1 ask
that you join me in helping to keep
this one: That we be “Steadfastly
in Prayer and Ministry” and “Labo:-
ers together with God,” that this will
be a great and victorious year in this
Department of W, C. T. U, Not that
we must forget the things that are
behind, for we had a real good report,
but let us reach forth unto those
things which lie before us in 1917.
“Pressing toward the mark for the
prize of the high calling of God in
Christ Jesus,” Thinking and talking
with God produces effects that are'
manifested upon the physical. A beau
tiful _thought makes a beautiful soul,
and a beautiful soul makes a beauli
ful face. Now the Health Depart
ment has embodied in it some very
strong terms for its efficiency. En
vironment, the circumstances and
conditions in which we live; then vi
tality, human “Life-Power,” Educa
tion, this should be three-fold, phys"-l
cal, mental, and moral; Eugenics, and
Euthenics. Euthenics deals with race
improvement through environment,
and Eugenics deals with race im
provement through “heredity,” the
first is hygiene for the present gen
eration, and the latter is hygiene for
the future generation. Each of these
calls for higher and better living con
ditions and we must begin today w
train the boy and girl to become Eu
genic gra‘parents until the idea is{
thoroughly inculcated that “marriaxe‘
is the highest, holiest of institutions
~—so holy that he who dishonors it
shall be counted as worse than an In»‘
fidel.”
Why not work for a bill to be in
troduced in the next Legislature for
this to be a law here in Georgia?
There are several states that have
this law. “Hereditary alcoholic dis
ease is one of the most hopeless.”
Plutarch said that inebriates produc>
imbeciles. Marriage sholld be re
nounced rather than produce mental
cripples. Life-long total abstinence
and other such guarding influences as
have been mentlone‘ are the only
chances to prevent ‘hopeless effects,
If parents realized this, what might
they not accomplish for their chil
dren? “The pure in heart shall see
God.”
Purity of thought and conduct, a
habit of self-control, a mastery of
evil ways produce a new creation
worthy of co-workers with God.
Please study the plan of the work,
be sure to ask your pastor to preach
a sermon on the “Right to be Well
Born,” observe Health Day in some
public wayw look after play-grounds,
either at school houses or in parks,
for the benefit of children, when you
find opportunity. Also observe Tree
Planting Day by taking a part in 1t
when it takes place. I have sent each
of you a package of literature with
program and plan of work, so please
carry it out as nearly as possible, and
don’'t forget your Supt. who is
ever anxious to get a-good and well
rounded report from you at the end
of the year.
With a heart full of love and best
wishes for a “Happy and prosperous
New Year to you all,” I am yours for
the success of the Health Department.
MRS. R. L. FURSE,
State Superintendent.
President’'s Letter,
THE UNEXPECTED is constantly
happening. For nearly fifty years
the W. C. T. U. has been drilling
trenches under the granite boulder of
the liquor traflic, and placing in them
dynamite of truth, waitifig for Oppor
tunity to light the fuse. Opportuni
ty's day has come, and the explosions
are frequent. The Nation was start
led last week by the passage of the
amendment introduced by Senator
Reed, of Missourl, to the amendment
of Senator Jones, to the Post Office
Appropriation Bill. This “amend
ment to the amendmein" prohibits
the shipment of liquors except for
scientific, sacramental, medicinal or
mechanical purposes into prohibition
states, even if that state has not en
acted a “Bone Dry” law. The Senate
vote was 38 for, and 28 againsty the
House 321 for, and 72 against. It i 3
sald that Senator Reed meant his
amendment for a joke—it was a good
one, Some of us are hilarious over
it. If other local optionists want to
perpetrate another good joke on us
total abstinence prohibitionists, let
them vote for the amendment to the
constitution giving us National Pro
hibition. '
It is a peculiar situation. Liquor
men and prohibitionists voting togeth
er on both sides of the case. In a
5 Ws’ rely Aliont. impossihle
for any one.not here on the scene to
understand all the shading in the
case. This piece of leglslation is
causing a big commotion in the ranks
of the liquor men as well as the tem
perance menr, On the whole, the dry
leaders feel that they are putting the
liguor men into a bigger hole than
’the one into which the liquor men are
‘mlnx to force the drys.”
~ Judge Crispof Georgia, said in the,
dining room of the Hotel Driscoll,
“If the liquor fellows want to get into
our boat, there is plenty of room for
them, but let us see to it that we
keep the oars.” To “sit steady in the
boat” with so many getting aboard,
is going to be difficult—but the tem
perance forces have had a schooling
in dificulties, so we shall continue to
puil up stream towards National Con
stitutional Prohibition, politely, but
watchfully, accepting the.help that
comes to us,
OUR MARY HARRIS ARMOR
completes her second route in Geor
gia for_ the fiscal year tomorrow.
She could give us only two weeks this
time and it was with deep regret I
wrote ten places she could not in
clude them. The places included are
Dawson, Richland, Cuthbert, Bain
bridge, Cairo, Thomasville, Tifton, Ca
milla, Pelham, Quitman, Douglas,
Terhille and Swainsboro. She or
ganized a fine Union at Pelham which
we welcome most heartily into our
ranks. There is no Unlon at Swains
boro, and we expect to hear of an
other Union organized there. Meet
ings have been fine everywhere; in
some places, the best ever. Mrs.
Armor goes to Texas next. Let us
covenant together to remember‘her
daily in our prayers that her going
to that state may be followed by state
wide prohibition.

mended, having been for sixteen years
Y. P. B. Secretary of Virginia W. C.
T. U., and having done most excellent
work as lecturer and organizer in her
own and other states. One of the
Maryland papers, in a notice of her
visit to the county, says, “Her lec
tures are strong, beautiful and con
vincing and the charm of her pei
sonality very great.” Then the
writer adds, “This is Mrs. Weech's
fourth visit to us, and it seems we
love and appreciate her more each
succeeding visit.”
MISS SARAH PHILLIPS THOMAS,
of Pennsylvania, comes to us for the
‘month of April finishing her engage
ment with an address b_etore the Ed
|ucational Association at Macon, May
3rd. My plan is to have her visit all
the colleges for women and girls in'
Ithe State, and address as many teach-j
ers’ meetings as possible. If there
is to be a Teachers’ Institute in your
town, or if you can plan a teacherfl'i
reception where Migs Thomas can
speak to the teachers of your com
munity, write me. Miss Thomas willl
also do regular organizing and lecture‘
‘work. Scientific Temperance is her
specialty, however, as she is Assocn-l

you, by sending one of these workers
to your community. ‘

HOW TO COMBAT GARDEN PESTS
IS TOLD BY ENTOMOLOGY BOARD
Atlanta, Ga., March.—(Special,)—ln
its recent campaign’s designed to pre
pare Georgia farmers for the fight rhey
must make against the Mexican' cot
ton boll weevil, the State Board of
Entomology and its representatfves
have urged as one of the important
factors, the planting of home gardens.
The value of the home garden was
urged in every one of the fifty or more
meetings held in various south Geor
gia counties this year. The campaign
has been taken up in almost every
town and city in the state; back yards
and vacant lots, wherever they are
available, are being converted into
home gardens in the effort to lower
the ever increasing cost of living, The
home garden is recogmized as indis
pensable on the farm, and along with
it truck farming as a business is re
ceiving more and' more attention and
growing Jdn importance throughout the
state every year. Georgians, particu
larly in the middle and southern sec
ticns of the state, should have home
gardens all the year around. There
are several vegetables which will stand
the winter climate and which can be
grown in the open during the winter
months.
To Control Garden Pests
Recognizing the growing value both
of the home garden and the truck farm
ing industry, the State Board of Ento
mology has made a special study of
insects and diseases which attack
truck crops and has prepared a buile
tin describing these and the best
methods for their control. The infor
mation oontained in this bulletin will
be found valuable to practically every
gardener in Georgia. A copy of it will
be sent upon request addressed to the
State Board of Entomology, State Cap
itcl, Atlanta, Ga.
Many truck crops are susceptible to
attack by nematode worms which
cause the formation of knots on the
roots of the plant. Among the plants
most severely injured by this worm
are beans, beets, cantaluupes, celery,
clover, cucumbers, egg plant, lettuce,
okra, potato, salsify, squash, tomatoes,
watermelon and others. On the other
hand, there are many varieties whlch‘
are immune to attack. The nemltode‘
can be eradicated only by cultural
methods or proper rotation of crops.
By planting immune crops in infested
areas for a few years, the nematodes
will die of starvation. There are va
rious ways of treating seed beds to
destroy the nematode, and the pur
chaser of plants such as tomatoes,
cabbage, egg plant, etc., should be rre

tables. This spider injures the plant
by sucking the juice from the leaves
and tender portions. All plants fur
nishing fcod for them through the win
ter, should be destroyed. Where infes
tation is found in the spring it is con
trolled by a spraying of one part of
lime sulphur to fifty or one hundred
parts of water.
Use of Trap Plants
‘ The harlequin cabbage bug, a blazk
'beetle with orange markings whigh
feeds- on collards, eabbage, mustard,
‘radishes, turnips, lettuce, ete., is con
trolled cnly by contact poisons. Thor
ough cleaning up and burning of trash
in and about the garden or-field dur
ing the winter will destroy many hiber
nating adults. Mustard is frequently
used with good effect as a trap plant.
If the bugs are found in numbers on
growing crops, a spray of a 15 per
cent kerosene emulsion can be applied
with success.
The squash bug, a dark brown bug
a little over half an inch long, shouid
be picked cff by hand when first seen.
Spraying with a ten per cent kerosene
emulsion or *“black leaf forty,” one
part to 300 parts water, will kill the
young bugs. Clean culture should be
practiced, ;
There are several varieties of plant
lice, or aphids, which attack cucum
bers, cantaloupes and cabbages, Spray
ing with “black leaf forty,” a nicotine
tobacco product, has been found the
best remedy.
The mole cricket, which is preva
lent in the southeastern section of the
state, par&{culnrly on the coast, where
it does extensive damage to tomatoes,
peppers, turnips, potatoes and other
growing plants, is best controlled by
plowing the breeding areas two or
three times during April, May and
June, thus exposinfi mun{ of the eggs
to the sun which kills them. Poison
baits of cotton seed meal with arse
nate of lead or Paris green, have prov
en very beneficial,
-Few gardens escape the destructive
activities of the cut worm. The best
method of getting rid of it is lhroufh
placing about the garden poison baits
made of corn meal, Paris green and
sweetened with molasses,
Arsenate of Lead Useful .
The pickle worm, the melon borer,.
and the squash vine bqrer which at
tack ‘c}xcumbera. melons, squashes and
simildf plants, are larfielg controlled
by using tl")? crops and dusting both
the main and trap crops with arsenaie
of lead mixed with air slaked lime
at the raté of one pound to five. The
green horn worm which attacks the
tomato plant is also controlled by
dusting with the arsenate of lead and
lime mixture.
The same remedy—one pound of ar
gsenate of lead to five pounds of air
slaked lime—is m?‘t effective u&nat

FORD SERVICE STATION /
We respectfully call your attention to the facilities we
have to offer for the proper care and repair of Ford cars.
Your patronage is solicited and all work entrusted to us
will be done efficiently and promptly,
As a general rule, outside of minor repairs and adjust
ments few garages are qualified to do the work which
falls within their scope. The proprietors do not seem in
clined to invest money in proper working tools. Then,
some cars are so built that the cars are very inaccessible,
which makes matters worse,
As an authorized Ford Sales and Service Station we
are naturally interested in the satisfactory operation of
your Ford car and you, no doubt, realize that it is to your
best interest to bring your car to us when in need of ad
vice, parts, or repair work.
We have not enough space to enumerate the many
reasons why you, as a Ford owner, should patronize our
Service .Station but we want to particularly warn you in
regard to the imitation parts made by various concerns to
fit Ford cars which are being used indiscriminately by ir
reponsible garages
We sell only “genuine Ford parts manufactured ex
clusively by the Ford Motor Company whose reputation is
ever at stake. Over 1,500,000 Ford cars are daily demon
strating the actual worth of the parts from which they are
made. This alone should induce you to deal with us.
