FELTON An April Blizsard in 1849 After some tornado experiences and flood experiencee in this early springtime of 1920, we are now hav; ing an April blizzard to make our poor farmers very apprehensive as to a wheat crop or a fruit crop in Georgia latitudes. We surely are in 1920 going round in a circle, rather than in a forward movement. We had a small snowstorm in Carters ville on Easter Monday. If the wind abates tonight there will be a freeze all over north Georgia. We shall see what we will see and also be obliged to put up with it, whether “good, bad, or indifferent.” Away back in the year 1849 I re member a fatal April blizzard. Our family spent the school months in Decatur. The other months, in win ter, we lived on the river plantation. We were getting along bravely in the spring of 1849. It was given up that there was the finest wheat crop of very many years. There was no wheat shipped southward from the great west in those early days.) We had well-equipped grain mills and people raised their own wheat and corn, and these local mill owners ground the grain into flour and meal. My father owned such a mill and he devoted his farming operations to grain growing, and sold the grist to near-by towns, the surplus that the mill provided. Decatur was the county site and the courthouse and jail could be seen from our town house door. One day the word went around that smallpox had broken out in Atlanta, and it was also concluded that a bad dis ease like smallpox was discovered in the county jail of Decatur. Panic prevailed. we nad read about smallpox, but the fewest num ber of the people had ever seen a case of genuine smallpox—never in that vicinity. There was a great cry for vaccine matter. I remember well the day my arm was treated with some very scarce vaccine matter, ®. trifle of a scratch it was. It was so warm out-of-doors that fires were unnecessary in the house. We were all wearing summer gar ments. Garden peas were in full bloom. The fruit trees were full of tiny peaches and green leaves. It was a beautiful season, the world was beautiful. , There was a rain one Saturday, turned'cold in the night. Next morn ing the clouds were “spitting snow.” We returned to big log-heap fires. The smallpox extended and we were all bundled up to get away early in the week. The South river home found us glad to be there. And the blackness of desolation was spread over the wheatfields, the gardens, and the big orchards, and all the land. The wheat stalks turned yel low, ditto the young corn, and both drooped and died. , . We» had one field of a hundred acres in wheat that was in blossom— it was in ruin. Within a w.eek’s time, if a match had been applied, the fire would have swept over it like fire in d§ad grass, in late aut umn. Biscuits were scarce in old Geor gia in 1849. All <Air wheat land was replanted in corn and it was corn bread that pulled us through to an other year. With so much corn (and everybody had to raise corn), we had no market for meal, and wheat brought a fine price in 1849. Our people concluded to raise a big hog crop to use up the big surplus corn crop. We had to build extra rail Side dress your Cotton with GERMAN POTASH KAINIT 20 per cent MANURE SALT and NiTRATE OF SODA 100 pounds of Manure Salt go as far as 160 pounds of Kainit and have the same effect as a plant food and plant disease preventive— Neither one will injure your crop.

Have you ever heard the story that these cyold days make those lovely blossoms, the “snowballs?’’ Os course, it is hard to believe that they would bloom only in nipping weather like this, when we think of all flowers being more beautiful for warm sunshine. Lovingly. AUNT JULIA. Rebecca, Ha.. February, 1920. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you please admit another south Georgia girl into you happy band? I sure do enjoy reading the cousins' letters. I will describe my self. I hair, brown eyes, medium complexion, weight 105 pounds, height 5 feet and 2 inches and 14 years of age. I live 4 miles east of Rbbecca. I am in the Seventh grade. I go. to school at Emory school. My teagher is Mr. C. T. Smith. Sure hope Mr. W. B. is on the outside now. If any of you girls and b'oys want to correspond with a south Georgia girl, just let the letters fly. Will answer all re ceived. MATTIE PLAYER, Rebecca, Ga., Route 2. Ring, ring, ring. Here I come for ad mittance again, auntie. I have made ap pearance here before but suppose you don't remember me. To locate myself, I live be tween Jefferson Davis’ capture and DeSoto’s supposed famous march through this county (Irwin). I call my home “Exnesicity.” Let cards and letters fly. MOUNTAIN BILL. (E. T. PAULK.) Ocilla, Ga. Dear Auntie and Cousins: I have read many of the cousius’ letters and enjoy them fine. Well, as most new cousins describe themselves, I will do so, so here goes. Black hair, blue eyes, fair complexion; my age is between eight and fifteen. See if you can guess it. Let your mail fly to a new Georgia cousin, (MISS) MARGUERITE DOUGLAS. Nicholls, -Ga. P. S. —Will answer all letters received. Dear Aunt Julia: Here comes another Georgia girl to join your happy band of boys and girls. As all new cousins describe themselves, I will do likewise. Now, cous ins, stop laughing and be perfectly quiet; so here I go: Black hair, dark, complexion, brown eyes and my weight is eighty pounds. My age is ten years. I go to school at the Nicholls High school, and I am in the fifth grade. We have seven teachers. My teach er's name is Mrs. Clyde Kirkland. I like her fine. Now, cousins, some of you all please write me. Will ring off with a rid dle: What is it that is big at each end. little in the middle, flies in the air and plays like a fiddle. By a new cousin. DORIS ANDERSON. Nicholls, Ga., Box 115. Dear Aunt Julia: Here I come Again. I guess old Mr. IV. B. was hungry and Aunt Julia took my letter for food. Now, Aunt Julia, please send Mr. W. B. off fishing pens to hold the extra corn, and in the coming spring were proud to get fifty cents per bushel at the crib. The young ones attended a country school, until the summer term closed in the town school. Then we went back for the fall term to be told that young Atlanta was going to cut loose from us and in due course of time, there was a Fulton county, and it looked like poor, old Decatur had gone back to a small one-horse town and so it did. I have seen some other late kill ing frosts. On May 1, 1854, there was a sweeping frost all over north Georgia. Every cotton stalk above the ground was killed, “as dead as a door nail.” I saw another in the early ’9o’s that also cleaned up the growing crops. These April bliz zards are exceedingly difficult things to handle. till I get through chatting. How many of you cousins go to school? I do for one and I sure do have some more jolly time. Well, as I described myself before, I will ' not frighten you all again, for I bet some of you all have not gyt over your fright yet, so I won’t scare you all any more. Aunt Julia, I will send my bit for the baby next time. I am at school today and I haven't got the change. Well, I will ring off with a riddle: What is it that is alive at both ends and dead in the middle, plows up dirt and busts out the middle? Your niece, ALLIE WATERS. Nicholls, Ga., R. F, D. 3. Dear Aunt Julia: Will you admit two North Carolina girls Into your happy band? We have been silent readers of the Letter Box for quite a while, so decided to wake up.

Hoping this will escape the waste basket. I am MARY DYER. p. s.—My brother-in-law don’t believe this news is real. His name is Comer Allen. Dorothy Dix Talks on Paying the Price ONE of the greatest obstacles to human happiness consists in our unwillingness to recog nize the fact that everything in this world has a price tag on it, and that we must pay cash over the counter for everything we get. Something for something. Noth ing for nothing. Pinchbeck cheap. Fine gold, high. It is the immuta ble law of nature that never changes. We admit the truth of this so far as other people are concerned, but when it comes to ourselves we cher ish the fallacious hope that we shall escape the common facts. We think that, somehow, we are going to be able to graft our way through Hfe, that some miracle will happen to us so that we will get the sweet without the bitter, and gather where we have not sown, and reap where we have not planted. It is a fool’s dream. It never hap pened. For value received we pay, pay, pay. > And this is true equally of spiritual and material things. Do you want love? You must pay for it with your heart’s blood. You must pay for it with a million sacri fices, with a million anxieties; with a million fears. And after you have bought love you must keep on paying for it by cherishing it, and protect ing it, and nursing and fostering it, and preferring it before yourself. The people who never have love are those who are too stingy and selfish to buy it. They are too selfc-center ed and egotistical to pay the price that love demands. Those who lose love are those who grow tired of continually paying in little atten tions, and little considerations, in little kisses and caresses, on a debt that is never paid in full this side of the grave. And those who refuse to buy love because it lays upon one burdens and calls for self-sacrifice, they also pay for what they get. They escape the agony that tears at one’s heart strings when a beloved one stands in the shadow of death. They escape the slavery of toiling for a family whose needs suck up a man’s income as a sponge does water. But they pay in loneliness, in the silence of rooms in which no wom en’s laugh is ever heard, or where /’ ere comes the patter of little feet. iey pay in a desolate old age, bar ren of interest and lacking all hu manities. Do you wish health? You fnust pay for it with abstinence, with self control, with intelligent care of the body and by doing a thousand things you don’t want to do, and doing without a thousand things you great ly desire to do. Sometimes nature runs a long health credit account with a man or woman, but in the end she admits her accounts, and for every broken law of hygiene the offender must pay with compound in terest. The young man who drinks too much, the young man who burns the candle at both ends, the young man who is a roue, thinks that he can have his fling and sow his wild oats and get off scott free. But he doesn’t. He pays the price in shattered nerves; in premature senility, and insanity. There is no hospital, ho insane asylum in which they will not tell you that three-fourths of the men patients brought their fate upon themselves. The woman who lives on candy and sweets, who takes no exercise, who wears clothes that are first aid to pneumonia, who lives on hetv nerves and in a perpetual strain of gadding from party to party, thinks that she can likewise sin against nature and escape the penalty, but the price she pays enriches sanita- 1 riums, and puts nerve and lung specialists in the millionaire class. Do you wish success? The price of that is all that you have got. To buy success you must give ev ery ounce of strength in you—and then some more. You must give every thought of your head, and every aspiration of your soul. You must count neither sickness, nor weariness, nor discouragement in paying your bill. You must work while others play. You must save while others spend. You must take the hard road when the easy one lies invitingly before you. You must crucify your vanity and think only of your object, not yourself. You must stand the gaff, take criticism gratefully; endure insolence patiently; deny yourself the pleasures of both love and hat red. Perpetual sacrifice on the altar of one’s desire. Self immolation to one purpose. Ceaseless striving. Un ending labor. Dauntless courage and endurance. These are the coins with which one buys success, and it is because so few are willing to pay the price that there are so many failures in life. Men and women believe that there is some royal road to fame and fortune in which they can joy ride in a limousine, or that there is some magic carpet that will waft them to success without an effort on their own part. It never happens. There is no easy way to the heights. Every step of it must be taken with blood and tears, and faint hearts are not strong enough to pay so great a price. So many get weary and lay down their tools. They get fagged and drop out of the race. They d'> not like L*he company they are forced ' to keep on part of the journey and ; they turn aside to where the so- j ciety is more elegant and agreeable, j or they argue with themselves that after all success isn’t worth what i life asks for it,, and they content ! themselves with some cheaper bar gain. Every day of your life you see lonely, loveless, friendless people, -ick people, failures, who rail ■at the injustice of fate, but the fault i is their own, not fate’s. They could have had the thing they desired if they would have paid the price, but they would not. (Copyright. 1920, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc,). . . AWD SUCCESSFULFARWG ~Z7A.ru. Dy fi.HDFIEWK Sovle At this season of the year, num bers of inquiries are being received relative to which is the best variety of corn to plant and how seed corn should be selected. For a long time we have centered our attention on the improvement of our animals through selection and Intensive breeding. At first it did not occur to us that these same methods, if applied to farm crops, would show highly beneficial results. Recently, we have come to realize that plants can be improved through systema tized breeding just as animals. Hence, the choice of seed for plant ing purposes has now become a mat ter of general concern to our far mers. The conclusions presented are based on years of study and obser vation and coincide with the plan of procedure the Georgia State Col lege of Agriculture and its workers advise members of the corn clubs to follow. There is no ■ one factor that has more to do with the making of good yields of corn than the seed you plant. It matters not how rich your soil may naturally be or how rich you may make it by the application of barnyard ’ manure or commercial fertilizer, or how thoroughly you may prepare your seed bed unless you have perfectly sound, well ma tured seed, adapted to your own climate and soils, you cannot expect big yields. Poor seed means a poor stand, a poor stand means a small yield; a small yield means no profit; hence labor lost, or bad business. Every body who has had experience in corn .growing has also had experience in “replanting” corn. There is no rea son for having to replant and in nearly every case the reason is “poor seed.” But you did not know the seed were poor until you had planted and then it was too late. So every corn grower should use the utmost care in selecting his seed corn and in testing it for germination before planting. A simple method of testing seed corn is to take a box about the size of an ordinary cracker box, and cut it down to a depth of four inches; pack this full of sand or sawdust and divide it up into squares of about two and one-half to three inches each way by means of a twine string running each way and fastened to small nails in the edge of the box. This forms a sort of checkerboard arrangement. Each square should be numbered from one up, each ear of corn should be numbered to correspond with the square. Six kernels should be taken from each ear, two near the butt of the ear, two near the middle, and two near the tip, from different rows. Place these in these squares, the germ side up, and cover with a damp cloth and place in a room with a temperature between 50 and 60 de grees. Keep there for six or seven days. The cloth should be kept moist but not wet. The germination test may then be read. Those ears that do not show strong germination should be discarded. For instance, if two of the six kernels of any par ticular ear do not show strong germ ination, I would discard that ear. Get perfect germination and that will meair a perfect stand. A perfect stand of corn, with other conditions being right, means large yields and large yields mean more profit. There are a great many unnamed varieties in most communities that are good. The following varieties are well known and can be recom mended: Whatley’s Prolific, Hast ings’ Prolific, Marlboro, Cocke’s Pi lific, Shaw’s Improved, Batt’s Pro lific, Albermarle, Sparks, Yates’ Choices, College Cross and others. The first step to take in planting corn is to prepare a deep, well-pul verized seed bed. Good seed and proper cultivation cannot make up for the lack of a well-prepared seed bed. If the seed, bed is properly pre pared, the corn crop is at least half made when the corn is planted. Corn may be planted in checks or in the drill, but the drill method is most commenly practical, and is recommended. Whether you plant on a small ridge or the level, or in a “water furrow,” depends upon the drainage of your land. If well drained it should be nearly level, but if water is inclined to stand on the land, planting should be made on ridges just high enough to carry off the surplus water. If planted on land where damage is likely to occur from drouth, it is well to plant in a "water furrow,” provided the rows do not run up and down the hill. As a general rule, it is recommended that corn be planted as nearly on the level as possible in order that labor saving Implements should be used and by the use of which more Make*Short Work<of Short or- Long 'Grain TXZHEN. some of your grairt -comes up short and stunted, especially / * on dry, gravelly knolls, and some of it grows tall and heavy, so that it lodges and tangles— then you have a harvesting problem—unless you own a McCormick, Deering, or Milwaukee Grain Binder. With these binders it is possible to cut 124-inch stubble—get right down close to the ground. The curve of the guards and wide range of platform, adjustment permits doing this.

The names McCormick and Deering and Milwaukee are favorably known wherever there is agriculture. They are guarantees of high quality and operating efficiency.

The spacing of the rows and the distance the corn is planted in the rows must be determined by the strength of the soil. A distance of three and one-half feet apart for the rows and from 15 to 24 inches apart in the drill is recommended for bot tom land. Corn planted at this dis tance, three and one-half by two feet, should contain 6,222 stalks per acre. If each stalk produces one pound of grain, which it should do, a yield of 88 bushels will be ob tained. On thinner soils the rows should be about five feet apart, and the corn about 15 to 20 inches apart in the drill. A row of cowpeas or peanuts may be planted in between the rows about the second cultiva tion of corn, which may be harvested or turned under for fertilizing value. No one can say just what date is best to plant in any locality. Do not plant, however, until your seed bed is in good condition and the ground is warm. A safe way is to watch the best corn growers of your com munity and plant when they begin to plant. 1 See that your planter is well ad justed so that it will drop the corn regularly. Remove a few kernels from the butt and tip of the ear in order that all kernels may be nearly of the same size. Plant more than is needed, because it is better to thin your corn than to have to re plant. Remember the old saying “■One for the blackbird, one for the crow, one for the cutworm, hnd three for to grow.” Work to get a perfect stand. Know the number of stalks on your acre and help each stalk produce at least one good ear. A hundred-bushel corn crop will require from 1,950 to 2,600 tons of water to mature it. This amount would cover an acre of ground to a depth of 16 to 22 inches. The great est need for water by the corn crop is in May, June and July, and as the average rainfall for these months is only 12 to 15 inches, it is readily seen that every care should be used to cultivate the com well and save as much of the soil moisture as pos sible. Cultivation forms a “blanket,” or mulch, on the surface that pre vents rapid evaporation of moisture ifroin the soil. This mulch should be stirred eve’.y week or ten days through the growing period. Cultivation should begin soon after planting even before the corn is up. The objects of cultivation are: first, to conserve moisture; second, to kill weeds; and third, to keep the soil friable. Moisture, plant food and a good mechanical condition of the soil are important factors in making the crop. Weeds consume food and mois ture that should be saved for the corn and it is important that cultiva tion should begin early. The adjust able harrow is a good implement for the first cultivation, especially on the heavy types of soil. It breaks the crust and kills the young weeds and saves moisture by forming a shallow miilcn. It can be followed by the weeder as the corn begins to come up without fear of hurting the young plants. These implements, when used in this way, save much hand labor with the hoe and conserve the soil mois ure in the early part of the growing season. As stated above, the corn should be cultivated from the time it is planted until the growing stage is well passed, or until the ear is well made. An extremely heavy yield of corn requires large amounts of food and moisture, and every effort should be made to keep the soil in such con dition that the corn roots will have no difficulty in obtaining this food and moisture. After the corn has reached a height of three or four inches, larger imple jments should be used. These imple ments should not be fitted with larg er shovels. They should have a large number of small shovels in order that the soil may be completely stirred and yet no dirt thrown to the corn. The first cultivation should be deepest and, nearest to the corn plants. During early growth of the corn, roots do not approach the sur face of the soil, nor do they extend to the middles, and cultivation, can, therefore, be carried on close to the plants without injury. Later, the fine feeder roots spread to the “middles” and approach the surface, and will be injured if cultivated deeply. The last cultivation made should stir just the surface soil in the middles for the purpose of saving moisture and kill ing weeds. The old practice of “laying by” corn by digging out the middles and throwing the soil up in ridges around the corn with a “middle buster” does ,more harm than good. It breaks many of the feeder roots and causes a greater loss of soil moisture by TUESDAY, APRIL 13, 1920. evaporation. The soil should be level at the time of last cultivation. The kind of cultivator to use will depend largely on the choice of the one that is to use it and the supply one has to choose from. There is per haps no “best.” though some are bet ter than others. A cultivator should have more than one shovel. It should have many. They should be small. A “Planet, Jr., type, or a spring tooth, is a good one-horse cultivator, and wherever practical a two-horse cultivator of a reliable make should be used. It saves much time and does excellent work when properly handled. Cultivate with the idea of (a) kill ing weeds, (b) saving moisture for the corn and (c) keeping the soil 'mellow and friable. Procedure Relative to Fertilizers F. C. D., Savannah, Ga., writes: As some farmers will be unable to secure their fer tilizer promptly, would you ad vise planting the cotton without the fertilizer and applying as soon as possible as a side dress ing, or wait for the fertilizer as late as April 10th and put under the crop? We believe it desirable to put the fertilizer under the drill row, for cotton which is planted in boll weevil infested territory. If side applications are used, the/ should be put on as soon as the cotton comes out of the ground and is chopped to a stand. Even then, we do not believe you will find ah de sirable results from the use of fer tilizer as if it had been placed un der the drill row when %the cotton was planted or a few days pre vious to the time it was seeded. In some sections of the state the best time for planting cotton may be from April 10-20. We realize, of course, that this will be very late for south Georgia and undesirable on that account. We simply mention this fact to let you see that in a state as large as ours, planting time for cotton will vary materially according to seasonal, soil and cli matic conditions.
