County Home Demonstration Department B> MISS JESSIE BURTON. 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 WHAT IS LAX-FOS LAX-FOS IS AN IMPROVED CASCARA A Digestive Laxative CATHARTIC AND LIVER TONIC Lax-Fos is not a Secret or Patent Medi cine but is composed of the following old-fashioned roots and herbs: CASCARA BARK BLUE FLAG ROOT RHUBARB ROOT BLACK ROOT WAY APPLE ROOT SENNA LEAVES AND PEPSIN IdLax-Fos the Cascara is improved by the addition of these digestive ingredi ents making it better than ordinary Cas- CARA.and thus the combination acts not only as a stimulating laxative and cathar tic but also as a digestive and liver tonic.

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 your own Linseed Oil, You obtain greatest durability and cover ing power.

YOU SAVE 75c. A CALLON ON EVERY CALLON THE BARTOW TRIBUNE-THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS, MAY 24, 1917 ( 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. J.
