The corn begins to lose its grip at once.
In a day or two it is so loose that you can
lift it off, roots and all, ’twist thumb and
finger. That’s the last of it, as millions
have found out. It is the simple, effective
and common-sense way to be rid of corns.

AbCD SUCCESSFUL FARMING
ANDREW K SOVLE
Encouraging Poultry Raising
We are not producing nearly
enough chickens and eggs to supply’
our local needs. In other words, a
part of the money we are deriving
from various farm crops is still be
ing sent out of Georgia for poultry’
products which we should raise at
home. This is a condition which we
must now proceed to correct because
the boll weevil has lessened the cer
tainty of the cotton crop and the
profit we will make therefrom.
Believing that the best way is to
encourage the development of a poul
try’ Industry capable of supplying all
our needs, the editor of these columns
presents below a summary of the
plans for organizing poultry clubs.
This type of work has not made as
much progress as is desirable due
to the fact that it was interfered
with more by war conditions than
.ny other phase of our club work. As
-a matter of fact, the club organlza
tions seem to offer the best way’ of
encouraging an industry of this char
acter. Noteworthy’ success in in
creasing the yields and the size of
our corn and other farm crops has
been attained through this agency.
Our live stock industry’ has been
greatly benefited through the organ
ization of pig and calf clubs. There
fore, a summary of what the poultry
club should undertake and the
method of procedure to follow are
outlined below. A constitution and
by-laws are also suggested, and val
uable data on incubation and the
feeding and care of chickens includ
ed. Every citizen of Georgia who is
interested in her welfare will certain
ly lend a hand in his community to
the encouragement of a club organ
ization of the character outlined in
this article.
The purpose of this article is to
give to members of the poultry’ clubs
some suggestive material by which
the practical work in poultry keep
ing may be carried on. It is hoped
that the women who are demonstrat
ors will feel that they are club mem
bers and use the article freely. It
is also intended for the use of teach
ers, county’ home demonstration
agents, parents of the club members,
and any one who is interested in the
production of more and better poul
try and its products.
In all counties where poultry club

work is taken up. the county home
demonstration agent will be respon
sible for the work and will collect
all reports and forward them to the
state agent at the proper time. In
all counties where poultry clubs are
not regularly organized, agents will
give only such instructions as will
not interfer with the other club ac
tivities. The reorganization of clubs
should be made in December and
the organization of new clubs should
be made in January.
Poultry club work may’ not be un
dertaken by a canning club girl until
she has had at least two years’ ex
perience with a tenth acre, when she
is better prepared to do this ad
vanced work.
All boys and girls entering the
poultry clubs must be at least four
teen years of age.
After two years preliminary work
with poultry, girls sixteen years of
age may undertake to make demon
strations in poultry raising along
with the women, using the farm flock
as a unit.
Where clubs are organized at
schools, teachers should give every
encouragement possible. There should
be officers elected and adopt
ed. The parents may help materially
by attending these meetings, visit
ing the flocks of the different mem
bers of the club, and aid the home
demonstration agent in arousing in
terest among the people who might
encourage the members by giving
pure-bred stock, incubators, or any
equipment.
Members who have not met the
requirements of the various years
will not be eligible to receive prizes.
I hereby pledge myself.
1. To study the instructions sent
me by my county and state agents.
2. To keep a correct record of
all work done, all expenses incurred,
air sales made, and to render a re
port of work to my county home
demonstration agent when she calls
for it.
3. To exhibit eggs and poultry at
some place in the community named
by the county home demonstration
agent.
4. To exhibit the best of the poul
try and eggs at the community ex
hibit at the county fair.
5. T’o attend club meetings regu
larly, and to feed and care for my
birds with as little assistance as
possible.
Each member must set three set
tings of eggs from pure-bred stock,
if possible, or buy twenty-five day
old chicks; raise all pullets to ma
turity for winter layers; keep the
best cockerels for breeders; keep rec
ords on the raising of these chick
ens; and make an exhibit at the
county fair. All chickens exhibited
must have been raised by and belong
to the club member exhibiting the
same. This exhibit is to consist of
the best pen of chickens raised (one
cockerel and four pullets). The best
of these exhibits will be taken to the
state fair at Macon and to the
Southeastern fair at Atlanta for
state competition.
Prizes will be awarded on the
work done as shown by the record
book and the exhibit. The exhibit
will count 50 per cent and the record
book will count 50 per cent.
Each member is expected to -write
a composition on “Poultry Manage
ment” and give it to the county
home demonstration agent when call
ed for.
To be qualified as second year
members, the first year members
must have at least ten females and
one male to carry over to the next
year and must have completed all
the first year’s work. These birds
need not have been raised by a club
member, but may be purchased if so
desired.
These females should be fed dur
ing the winter months for egg pro
duction and mated to the best males
in the spring to produce hatching
eggs. Each club member must keep
an accurate record in booklets pro
vided by the state college of agri
culture through the county home
demonstration agent.
The story of the year’s work must
be written in a composition, having
“My Experience With Poultry” as
the subject. Outlines for these com
positions will be furnished by the
county home demonstration agent,
and should be ready to hand in when
called for. The same rules for prizes
apply as for the first year.

a story on the “History of My Poul

Constitution and By-Laws for Poul
try Club
Article 1: Name
The name of this club shall be
Article II: Objects.
The purpose of this club shall be:
1. To learn the value and methods
of raising and breeding standard
bred poultry.
2. To carry on hatching, rearing,
feeding, housing and marketing poul
try.
3. To increase the supply of poul
try and poultry products in Georgia.
Early broilers bring better prices;
early hatched pullets make early
Winter layers; early hatched chicks
grow faster and are less harmed by
disease, insects and hot weather.
Use only strong, well-developed
breeding stock. Hens are better
than pullets for breeders. The male
bird should be young and active. An
early hatched, well-developed cock
• rel or a vigorous two-year-old cock
may be selected.
A building well protected from
wind, sun or rain is desirable. Make
the nest in a dark, quiet place, away
from the other herts.
The nest should be about fourteen
inches square and twelve inches deep.
Hay, straw, or something soft should
be used, and moisture should be sup
plied by means of dajnp sod in the
bottom of the nest. Burn after the
hatch is completed.
The breeds of the American class
as the Plymouth Rock, the Rhode
Island Reds, and the Wyandottes
make good sitters and good mothers,
fry a day or two with culled eggs
to see whether the hen is sufficiently
broody. Dust the hen well with
louse powders or apply blue ointment
to the hen before setting. A good
louse powder may be made by mixing
one-fourth of a pint of crude carbolic
acid with three-fourths of a pint of
gasoline to which is added two and
one-quarter pounds of plaster of
Paris to make a powder. This pow
der should be put in a can or a jar
to keep it dry. The blue ointment
may be used by mixing equal parts
of mercuric ointment and vaseline.
Apply this about one inch below the
vent and under the wings. The mer
curic ointment, crude carbolic acid
the plaster paris may be secured
at drug stores. Wood ashes may be
used effectively. Provide plenty of
grain and fresh water, but no egg
making food as mash or animal pro
tein should be fed.
Select eggs uniform in color, shape
and size. Avoid eggs that are too
large, too small, and those that have
imperfect shells. Keep your hatch
ing eggs m a cool, dry place. The
sooner you can set the eggs after
they are laid the better. If the eggs
are sent by parcel post, it will be
well to allow them to stand for a
day or two to allow the germ to set
tle. Turn each day the eggs that
are being held before hatching.
Provision for the hen and chicks
should be made before the hatching
■begins. The chicks should be thirty
six to forty-eight hours old before
they are removed to the coop and this
should be done at night. A coop
that will provide good ventilation,
yet make the chicks secure from en
emies, should be made. The hen
should be confined to the coop for
a week or more, but allow chicks to
run out when the grass is not wet
If an incubator is used, get a good
standard incubator and follow direc
tions of the manufacturer. \
Fresh, clean water is necessary for
growing chicks. It should be sup
plied twice daily in hot weather, and
the fountains or dishes, should be
placed in the shade to keep it cool.
Clean water fountains thoroughly
each day before filling.
Separate the cockerels from the
pullets and provide separate runs for
them. The pullets will develop fas
ter and better. Sell, kill or separate
from the hens all male birds as soon
as through hatching to produce in
fertile eggs.
Provide clean houses for your pul
lets and get them in these before
they begin to lay. Feed them a
good egg-making feed, green feed,
and fresh water and you may expect
eggs in return.
Dried and Canned Peaches
Make Delicious Butter
The fruit butter supply is likely
to be getting low at this season of
the year, particularly in families
which are very fond of the delicacy.
Where one has a supply of dried
peaches and some canned peaches on
hand it is easy to fill the jars again
with a peach butter which is almost
if not quite as good as that made
from the fresh peaches, say special
ists of the United States department
of agriculture.
To each four pounds of dried
peaches use two quarts of canned
peaches. Soak the dried peaches in
water several hours and cook until
tender. Add the canned peaches and
rub the pulp through a colander or
wire sieve. Stir 2 1-2 pounds of
sugar into this pulp and cook slow
ly, stirring often, for two hours or
until of the right thickness. Pack
while hot.

live on the farm and like farm life fine.
Well I will describe myself. (Here goes.)

eyes, I am through.
Don’t you cousins think Aunt Julia did
a wonderful deed when she adopted the
MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
We are two girls coming to you
for advice. We are two schoolmates
sixteen and fourteen years of, age.
I, sixteen, have been going with
a boy 21 years of age. He says he
loves me dearly and asked me to i
marry him, and I told him I did ;
not love him enough to marry. And i
if 1 did 1 would not because 1 was J
too young. Do you think I did
wrong? I have black hair and brown
eyes.
I, fourteen years of age, do rot
care for the boys much. Am I old
enough to have boy friends? Is there .
any harm in writing to a boy and
calling him sweetheart and darling?
I think so and I.have not done such
but there are some girls around
me that do.
Is there any harm in writing to a
boy one has never seen, who is in
the hospital, and has written Aunt
Julia’s letter box and is asking the
girls to write to him to keep him
from being so lonesome.
1 have light hair and blue eyes.
Thanking you for your advice, we
are two friends, BROWN EYES,
BLUE EYES.
The glamor of love seems to
hover over every girl between
the ages of thirteen and eight
een and romance plays a prom
inent part in her life during
those years. But my deir girl
don’t let your head be easily
turned. You are too young to
marry. Wait until you are old
er and more capable of taking
the' responsibilities of married
life upon your ft is
all right to have beaus/ but let
the Idea of matrimony stay out
of your thoughts until you have
gone to school a while longer.
I am eighteen, am 5 feet 6 inches
tall. I weigh about 135 pounds. Do
I weigh enough for my age and
height? If not, what should I do
to make myself gain? I have blue
eyes, light hair and fair complexion.
What colors suit me best? Am I old
enough to have beaus. I go to school
and am in love with a boy about my
age, who is coming to the same school
that I am. When he asks me can
he come to see me or can he walk
home with me or can he write me a
note, what should I tell him? Would
it be any harm to wink at one of your
school boy friends who winks at you
first? And what is a wink, that Is.
what does it mean? Is it any harm
to sit with a school boy in the
school room? Is it any harm to
correspond with girls who live in
another country whom you have never
seen? I have been corresponding
with some French girls. They say
they like the Americans and want
my pictures. Should I send it to
them ?
We thank you in advance for an
swer, for we are very, very anxious
to know, as we are two motherless
girls,
DAISY AND ANNIE.
I think your weight is suffi
ficient at your age. To gain
flesh get plenty of sleep and
eat starchy foods; also drink
milk if you can get it.
It seems to me that a girl of
your age would know what to
tell a boy whom you are in love
with and he asks if he can call
to see you. If he is a gentle
man there is no harm in having
him to call. Winking is some
times indulged in, in fun, and
then it is no harm, but if some
one does it in earnest, it is vul
gar and you must not encourage
it.
A lady can still be a lady. If
she wants to sit beside a boy at
school it depends on her conduct
whether it is proper or not.
If there £re other girls you
French orphan? Wake up Luther Huff and
come again with your interesting letters.
Arma Keiff. what has become of you?
Well, I must quit for fear the waste
basket devours this. Aunt Julia please
print this if it is worthy of printing.
Your Cousin,
MYRTLE GREEN.
Jacksonville, Ala. R. 2.
P. S. All yon cousins write to me. Will
answer all letters received.

Dear Aunt Julia: —I have been a silent
reader of the letter box for some time.
Though I have never asked for admittance,
I do not feel that I am a stranger. I live
on a farm about two miles from Walhalla,
about one mile from some small mountains.
I would like for some of you cousins to
come and see me. I am sure we would
have a fine time. I like all kinds of out
door sports, especially hunting. I also like
to read good books.
Florine Glendin, your age is fourteen, is
it not?
Well, for fear some of you cousins would
get scared, I will not describe my ugly
self. My age is between fifteen and eight
een. I guess I had better quit as my letter
is getting long and Mr. W. B. is coming.
If I see this letter in print I will come
again. If some of you good-looking cousins
want to correspond with a South Carolina
bov, just let your letters and cards fly to

The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
A LITTLE ADVICE TO A YOUITG
MAN ABOUT TO MARRY
Your expected wife thinks you are
a model of morality and decent be
havior. When you are courting her.
you are reasonably sure to be on
your good behavior. She sees odly
the bright side of this loving and
marrying business. When you lead
in conversation before the knot is
tied she thinks you are a hero. There
fore be careful not to give yourself
away, and you can do it by talking
too much about big deeds —and brag
ging exploits. Be sure your boasts
will find you out!
The maternal instinct is generally
prominent in womankind. A girl
baby leans to a doll, and there are
grown women who will nurse a wool
ly dog, and even kiss it. Your wife
will be apt to pet you to the limit, if
you give her a chance and can en
dure the petting. The objectionable
mother-in-law will also pet you—if
you keep on decent terms with her.
The mother-in-law will be a handy
person to have in the house, when
the advent of the baby accentuates
the family situation. If I was' a
young man and contemplating matri
mony I surely would pet my mother
in-law, and keep on good terms with
her, until our acquaintance had ripen
ed far enough to understand our mu
tual necessities and opportunities.
Don’t ever forget that your mother
in-law has been also married, and ac
quainted with matrimonial perplexi
ties. She will love you for your
wife’s sake until you win her affec
tion as a good son-in-law. It’s worth
trying.
When you set up housekeeping
your wife will be of the opinion that
it is as much her house as yours—
and if you desire to start off' right
be very sure you are according your
wife equal privileges if not legal pos
sessions in the home. •
Marriage Is a life partnership. If
you cannot accord to your wife the
confidence and respect that a busi
ness partner demands, then you had
better not experiment with matri
mony.
WHY AND WHEREFORE A VICE
PRESIDENT
Somebody has said, “Just sticking
around,” and doing a little as pre
siding officer of the senate. Per
haps that is all. but it is understood
that the “fathers” had an idea that
there would be confusion if the presi
dent died or became physically dis
abled, it would be hard to have a
supply or supernumerary in the
neighborhood to occupy his place.
Nevertheless a vice president
seems to be only a waiting supply,
and of no particular use, unless the
aforesaid death occurs or the presi
dent being otherwise disabled. A
good many people, even those who
sympathize with Mr. Wilson, have
indulged the opinion—that as Mr.
Wilson has had an eight-year term—
it would not add anything to his
fame to hang on, when his body was
afflicted', and sympathizing also with
a weary mind.
As 1 see it, he owed it to himself
to take a rest —and give his physical
system all he could get from skilled
physicians, without worry, cares and
aggravations, which perhaps caused
the collapse, and perhaps inflicted a
very tedious convalescence, by con
tinuing to try to manage a very diffi
cult and perplexing business, in an
unfit physical condition. And an
other query forces itself on one’s
mind. His family and friends were
evidently oblivious to the fact that
the country demanded and is paying
for the services of an active and duly
qualified executive —and had prepar
ed a substitute or supply—bearing
the title of vice president—yet the
supply has had to sit in a chair, and
be able to do none of the things that
would naturally be coming to a very
much needy and complex situation
—in the city of Washington.
So far as known or publicly under
stood. Vice President Marshall has
ability and intelligence sufficient to
understand the requirements of the
executive office —and with competent
advisers he could have done as well
for the country as any other presi
dent. that was made out of a vice
president. It appears to me that
Mr. Wilson’s family and personal
friends have been mistaken in hold
ing him on to duties that were more
than irksome and unnecessary.

placed In the drinking
< . X water, will positively
JT save your little chicks
from all such diseases.
Inside of 48 hours the
sick ones will be as lively
y as crickets; Avicol keeps
them healthy and makes
them grow and develop.
Mrs. Vannle Thackery, JR.. F. D, 3, St.
Paris, 0., writes. ‘‘l had 90 chicks and
they all died but 32. Then I commenced
on Avicol and haven’t lost any since.
They have grown wonderfully."

all bowel diseases of poultry,.tell us and
