Never in the history of our country
• has there been a time for better meth
ods in the management of the _honoe
than the present. We may and we must
increase our production because we
are not producing what we consume
and the prospects are that w T e will not
be able to get front other sources the
supplies necessary for life, but greater
still than the increased production is
the better economy of those things
which we do raise. It comes back fin
ally to the housekeeper and we must
be better -able to meet it. We must
study the foods that we need, where
we get them in the most economical
form and how to use those foods to
the best advantage.
A course has just closed at the State
Normal school for the demonstration
agents of the state at which the ex
perts from the U. S. department tried
to teach us the use of flour substitutes
as well as other foods. We know that
flour is already above the reach of
many people. We must do something i
to lower this or get something that
will take the place of it. ,
Peanuts, soy bean meal, potatoes j
and corn meal may be used as very
palatable substitutes for wheat flour, j
The bread is delicious made from
these. We will readily see that the :
bread made from these will be much
less expensive If we will raise these 1
substitutes. Now is the time to do this. ;
Please get busy and get ready for the ;i
time that is already here for which !
we are not prepared. This is not only
cheaper but when you know the food j
value of peanuts, soy beans and pota- j

The Canning Club and Poultry Club
-Work in the County.
We are very much pleased with the
work that most of the boys and girls
and women are doing over the county
in the clubs. More interest is being
manifested by them than ever before.
The people of the county are more in
sympathy with the work and we ap
preciate their co-operation.
A larger numtfer of girls have been
enrolled. 105 girls have enrolled as
regular canning club girls, while many
others are doing some garden work.
40 boys and girls are doing good work
in the Poultry Club. There are in the
county today about 400 good thorough
bred chicks which would probably not
have been had the poultry work not,
been introduced. At an early date the
names of these club members will be
printed.
The premium lists for the county
fair in these departments have been
arranged and will be printed soon with
the names of the exhibits expected.
The prizes will be of value to each one
vho wins in that they are articles
-which can be used to advantage in the
work.
The matter of cans has been quite
a proposition but' we hope that It is
now solved. Information will be sent
to the girls and women demonstrators
at an early date. All containers are go
ing to be much higher.
WATERMELON DISEASE.
(
Georgia watermelon growers have
borne a very h*feavy loss during the
past few seasons on account of several
fungous diseases. These losses took
place in the fields aud while the mel
ons were on board cars in transit to
market. During the season of 1915
these losses were so large that it look
ed as though the watermelon industry
of Georgia would be seriously crippled.
During the past season losses were
heavy, but riot as severe as during the.
previous year. This variation from sea
son to season is natural and to be ex
pected. However, no grower or ship
per of watermelons can predict any
thing about the severity of such losses
for the coming season. He can, how
ever, take certain precautions which

( will insure against these severe losses
j Anthracnose: The losses In the
; field are due mainly to a fungous dis
ease known as Anthracnose. This at
tacks the stems, leaves and fruits. On
; the leaves it causes rusty spots, cut
ting down to vitality of the plant iff
| proportion to the number of leaves af
! fected. Sometimes 90 per cent of the
t leaves will- bfe affected, with a propoi -
| tionate lessening of the plant’s pro
| ductlve ability. On the fruit or melons
this disease appears as small, sunken,
' yellowish brown spots, which dlsfig
ure the mature melons and cause the
> ounger ones to decay. Anthracnose. I
as well as a number of other minor 1
fungous diseases attacking the foliage
or watermelons can be controlled by
the use of bordeaux mixture during
the first of June and again about the
third week In June in the wire grass
section. Bordeaux mixture is made by
the use of 4 pounds of bluestoue, 5
pounds of unslaked lime and 50 gal
lons of water. Dissolve the bluestoue
in 25 gallons of water, slake the lime,
and mix it with the other 25 gallons
of water, and pour the two together
simultaneously. In applying this spray
to the foliage of the watermelon, it
should be sprayed on to the foliage in
fine mist, covering the entire surface
of the leaf and as much of the under
part as is practicable.
Stem End Rot: Experiments made
by Dr. VV. A. Orton of the United
States Department of Agriculture dur
ing the past season in south Georgia
show that the stem end rot is due to
a common fungus found on cotton and
corn stalks, weeds and decaying mel
ons. As stated above, the losses from
this disease are mostly in transit. The
scores of the fungus are blown by the
wind and lodge on freshly cut
stems when they are being gathered
for loading. The spores germinate and
the disease grows down into the melon
as it is being carried to market. For
the prevention of stem end pot the fol
lowing methods are recommended by |
Dr. Orton:
1. Cut and burn a’l weeds around
the field and along ditch banks during
the winter.
2. From the time that the melons
set on the vines, all cull fruit should
b® hauled out of the field weekly and
fed to hogs, or deeply buried. Wash
the wagons used for-hauling culls with
a 2 per cent bluestone solution.
3. Spraying with Bordeaux mixture
for anthracnosd will probably help
control stem end rot. ""
4. Laborers harvesting melons
j should never cut or touch a decayed
i melon. •-*
5. Cut melons with long stems and
i load into cars with the least possible
j-delay and with the utmost care in
| handling, to avoid bruising. Open car
j ventilators. . ■ - —-
6. Most important of all, apply a
! paste made of common starch with 6
i per cent bluestone to the freshly cut
i stems as the melons are being packed
in the car. It has been found that dis
infecting the stems at other times is
less effective, as the paste is rubbed
off by handling.
As the packer arranges the melons
in tiers, have him place the stem ends
upward, while a reliable boy cuts off
a section of the stem and applies a
pavering of paste with a small, round
brush.
7. Freight cars that have contained
decayed melons or yard refuse should
be washed clean and sprayed with a
2 per cent bluestone solution.

tra strong, from your druggist, and a
few applications should show you how
easy it is to rid yourself of freckles
and get a beautiful complexion. The
sun and winds this month have a
strong tendency to bring out freckles,
and as a result more carpol is sold in
these months. Be sure to ask for the
extra strong, as this Is stfld under

remove the freckles.—Carpol Labora
