SOME WORTH-WHILE GRASS AND
CLOVERS
Unless one studies a subject, one
is not likely to acquire much val
■ liable information relative thereto,
probably on this account we have
not made as much progress with
I grass and clovers as we should be
' cause the energy and effort of the
cotton farmer has hitherto always
been directed toward fighting grass.
From one point of view, this -was
no doubt quite proper, but now that
crop diversification has become more
necessary and essential than in pre
vious years, grass and clovers intel
ligently selected and planted are like-
Tv to prove the farmers’ most val
i uable friends. This being true, a
I good deal of worth-while data
i concerning some of our common
clovers and the better known of the
grasses adapted to general cultiva
tion has been ■ gathered together and
I is presented in concrete form for our
readers. This information is based
on the investigations made by the
division of agronomy of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture through
its field representative, Mr. Paul
Tabor. * , ,
Bur clover is our best annual clov
er, but is very hard to get started on
most of our lands. It also winter
kills sometimes, over most of the
state and disappears if grazed hard
during the spring. Normally it
passes through the winter unharmed
and reseeds itself during April and
May. With care, it yields well on
good land, furnishing plenty of early
spring grazing. It is relished by
hogs, but not so well by cattle or
horses, some refusing it altogether,
but the majority soon learn to like it.
Bur clover seed do not germinate
well. This is due in part to' hard
seed coats, in part to the protection
offered by the bur and to the fall
droughts so common in Georgia. For
this reason either heavy seeding or
special conditions must be provided
to secure a good stand of bur clover.
If seeded . broadcast, from four to
six bushels of seed per acre should
be used, but if put in rows a smaller
amount will suffice. Seeding in rows
is more certain, especially if stable
manure an<". acid phosphate are used.
Usually enough inoculating material
is carried in the dirt with the seed.
For late fall seeding clean seed are
recommended. To secure them the
burs are cleaned and ground slight
ly in a small feed mill. This will
shell the seed and make it possible
to separate them with a sieve. Cleain
seed require inoculation.
Black medic is a close relative to
but clover and alfalfa but smaller
than either. Its value lies in the
ability to grow on poor soils and to
produce a very high quality grazing.
It starts mere slowly than bur clov
er, but goes longer in the summer.
Most of our experience with it is
limited to moye fertile limestone
soils though it is really only a possi
bility under average Georgia condi
ti-ns. In oculation is necessary, but
soil in which bur clover or alfalfa
has grown recently will successfully
inoculate the black medic. From ten
to fifteen pounds of seed per acre
during the fall or late winter as suf
ficient for a good stand.
In extreme north Georgia Red Top
is considered the best hay grass
available. It is also used to some
extent for grazing. Over the re
mah er of Georgia it has good prom
ise as an early spring pasture grass.
In South Georgia it will succeed only
in the low places and sometimes
poorly there, but in the remainder of
the state it will add materially to the
early grazing, especially on bottom
soils. From four to ten pounds of
seed per acre seeded during the fall
are needed.
For early art late growing, or
chard grass is excellent. In north
Georgia it can be used to good ad
vantage on the fertile, partly shaded
spots. Its adaptation to south Geor
gia conditions is not definitely known
but is questionable. Orchard grass
should be seeded on a prepared seed
bed during the fall at a rate of six
to twenty pounds of seed per acre,
depending on the amount of other
grasses used. It is a perennial, so
will live for years.
Tall oat is similar to orchard
grass in the time of growing, but is
more exacting in its requirements.
Disease and drought will cause it to
succumb more quickly. On fertile
uplands, however, it can be used to
advantage. From ten to twenty
pounds of seed per acre are needed.
Rescue grass is an annual, fur
nishing grazing during late fall and
early spring. It is adapted only to
good soils and must be grazed with
care if reseeding occurs. Seeding
should be done during the fall at the
rate of twenty pounds per acre. Arc
tic grass or cheat is similar to' res
cue grass. It will grow on poorer
soils, however, and for this reason is
favored more highly by some.
Rye grass will make excellent pas
turage during the spring for one
year. Under our conditions, even the
perennial, rye grass, disappears, aft
er one season. Sometimes it reseeds

sufficiently for another crop and quite
often it does not. Twenty pounds per
acre during the early fall is the re
quired amount of seed for a full
seeding.
Kentucky blue grass can be uti
lized to a limited extent in north
Georgia on the fertile clay lands
partly protected from the sun. The
northern slopes and the spaces un
der occasional trees are the only
places in which it will maintain a
good sod through the summer. Five
to ten pounds of seed per acre sown
on unplowed land during early fall
will be suited to our conditions. Ken
tucky blue grass sod should be kept
well packed at all times.
The best pastures in Georgia are
on the low lands. These places are
moist and rich, consequently will
give an excellent growth of grass.
Much of the low land, in north Geor
gia especially, cannot be put in pas
ture because it is needed to grow
corn. There are, however, many
places where crops are destroyed by
overflow, or water-logging, but where
grass would survive. Thousands of
acres of bottoms in both north and
south Georgia now growing nothing
but bushes and timber of little value
could be put to grass. Some hill land
should be included also to furnish
grazing when the low lands are flood
ed. Hill lands only are not very de
pendable, due to summer and fall
droughts, but if they have not been
worn out a fairly good pasture can
be made. If the land is exhausted,
very little growth of grass can be
expected, yet the majority of Geor
gia farmers will turn to such places
first in trying to develop a pasture.
On poor uplands very little expense
should be incurred as the returns
will be small. If these soils can be
cultivated it would be best to im
prove them by growing several crops
of velvet beans or cowpeas before
seeding to grass. Enough grazing
can be secured to pay the expense
of growing the crop. Quite often
these soils cannot be cultivated, and
in such cases they must be used for
pastures in their depleted condition.
They should then be allowed to pro
duce the necessary shade for the ani
mals and as much Lespedeza as pos
sible.
Grass lands need to be prepared
differently from corn and cotton
lands. The seedbed must be very
shallow but finely prepared and the
sub-surface compact. Young grass
plants send down their roots much
more slowly than do corn or cotton
plants, hence cannot live so well in
a loose soil that dries out quickly.
After land for grass is plowed it
should be packed. This can be done
with or roller or with cattle tramping
over the area, or by several rains.
Clearing the land of native grasses,
bushes and trees is also important,
for much of the future pastures now
grow wild grasses and sedges or
bushes and trees. A lot of patience
will be necessary to clear these lands
most economically. If the under
growth be very dense one or more
judicious burnings during a dry time
in the spring will be of great value.
Then, by using goats to graze the
bushes or by chopping down the
bushes with hoes or bush hooks at
least once a year, the undergrowth
can be completely destroyed in a
few seasons. To clear the land of
trees is a more difficult problem, es
pecially if they cannot be utilized for
wood or timber. In such case the
smaller ones should be cut and piled
and the larger ones girdled and al
lowed to die. Seeding should be done
shortly afterward to allow the good
grasses to establish themselves be
fore the broomsedge and briers take
possession of the land. A used disc
harrow is very valuable in prepar
ing the seedbed in such places.
There are some grazing areas in
the state so large that the above
method cannot be used. They are
mostly cut-over pine lands, growing
wiregrass, broomsedge and light
wood-knot grass. To get these areas
in improved grasses the present
growth can be reduced and eventual
ly killed by very heavy grazing from
the time of burning in the spring
until fall. If the native grasses are
kept less than two inches tall they
remain tender enough to graze
throughout the season. A light seed
ing of carpet grass and lespedeza
without preparing a seedbed when
heavy grazing is begun will result
in these plants occupying the ground
in a few years. Care must be used
in providing extra pasture during the
droughts when such close grazing is
practiced.
In seeding grass a moist time
should be selected. For spring seed
ing the months of February and
March and for fall seeding Octobei’
and November will be the best dates.
The seeds should be evenly distribut
ed over the area by means of a seed
er or broadcast by hand and cover
ed lightly. If broadcast by hand it
is well to sow one-half the seed
across the field in one direction and
the other half at right angles to the
first. In covering the seed a spike
tooth harrow, weeder or a brush is
needed. If the land is not compact
it would be well to allow animals to
trample it.
Helping the Tobacco Crop Forward
R. B. Alpaha, Ga„ writes: I
am having trouble with my to
bacco. It is very small and
wants to button and is pale in
color. Would you advise using
nitrate of soda on it?
Weather conditions have Leen very
unfavorable for all crops. The cold,
wet weather we have had has un
doubtedly interfered with your to
bacco, and in spite of all you can
do, it is not likely to attain rapid
and vigorous growth until seasona
conditions improve. From what you
say, however, we feel certain that
your crop is not well supplied with
available nitrogen. It is esential
that you use considerable amounts
of this element as tobacco . must
grow rapidly -and develop vigorous
plants with uniformly developed
leaves to yield the most profitable
harvest. I suggest, therefore, under
the circumstances, that you use
nitrate of soda as a side-application
on this crop. I would apply one hun
dred pounds per acre, and I would
put it on very soon. It should be
put on when the plants are dry and
after a rain rather than before. One,
of course, cannot always prognostic
cate weather, but when nitrogen is
put on just before a heavy rain, part
of it may be washed away and lost.
It should not be covered into the soil
and should be put down alongside
the drill row. but not close enough
to touch the plants. The roots
spread over considerable areas of
ground, and if the nitrogen is ap
plied in the vicinity of the plants,
the root will reach out and gather it
un as fast as the needs of the
plants make it desirable.
Growing Onions on a Commercial
Scale
J. H. D., Unadilla, Ga., writes:
What months do you advise
sowing Bermuda onion seed for
transplanting in this section?
Onion sets may be put out from
January to April and from Septem
ber to November. They should be
placed at a depth of from one to
two inches. The rows should be from
fiften inches to two feet apart and
the sets should be placed from four
to six inches in the drill. It will
take about a quart of seed to fifty
feet of row, or eight bushels per
acre. Onion sets will mature in from
ninety to one hundred and twenty
days. Seed may be sown in October
in the open for transplating in Jan
uary to April. Seeding may be again
done in March or April to develop
sets for planting in September to
November. Bermuda onions are not
hardy except in the region of the
gulf and Atlantic coast. They might
occasionally go through the winter
at inland points, but there is danger
of their being destroyed or injured
by cold weather. The Yellow Dan
ver, the Prize Taker and the Silver
Skin are hardy sorts.
My onions planted about the
first of March are now ready so 1 ’
eating. I will not thin the row,
however, but let them grow and de
velop until they die down in early
August.. I will then save these sets
and replant them at any time after
the first of January when a good
season is in the soil. By this ar
rangement, onions may be had for
eating or for sale about November
1, and they can be used all winter
I even in this section. Seed sown

LETTER BOX
My Dear Children:
I have been going over some of our days spent together and
find that I have had most of the “say so” of our discussions; now,
we are«going to have a change—l want you all to send in some
topic to be discussed. Mark in the corner of your envelope “Topic
for Discussion.” I will write all the topics on a slip of paper and
mix them thoroughly and draw one out; will select four for the
month, one each week. I will give you a very short talk on it
myself and leave most of the room to you. In that way we will
really grow to know each other better, and our letters will be so
much more interesting. Lovingly, AUNT JULIA.

THE COUNTRY HOME
CONDUCTED BY MRS.W.H.FELTON
BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARIES
When the readers of this article
find it in print, the writer will have
passed her eighty-fifth birthday, and
started on a long lap towards an
other milestone. I was born and
raised in the country until I was
nine years old. On my seventh birth
day I had a party. Look at any
seven-year-old child in your vicinity
and see what a little tot I must have
been at that early day.
It was also an al fresco gathering,
which means an outdoor function.
Our schoolhouse was in sight and
the invited youngsters gathered in
my home yard at about 3 p. m.,
on June 10, 1842, when I was seven
years old. There was a famous cedar
tree between the front and back
yard and it gave a splendid shade.
The table was spread under the
cedar tree. My mother’s best table
linen and table ware were in use, and
the house servants (it was, of course,
in slavery time) were all dressed in
their best, and glad to see the chil
dren enjoy themselves. We were only
in the house awhile and it was the
fashion in those early days to have
the drawing room (we had no par
lors) in order for visitors, by wax
ing the floor and rubbing it in until
it was not only sleek but shiny. One
of the schoolboys, a trifle order than
myself, wore a pair of brand-new
shoes, and the soles were as sleek as
the floor. When he attempted to
catch one of his boy friends, his
heels flew up and his head struck
at the same time. We were candid
little folks, and we laughed until he
felt uncomfortable. So the dear
mother concluded we could play in
the big, clean yard and enjoy the
frolic without falling down on the
waxed floor. It was the eating time
that attracted us. We had everything
that a well-to-do family could get
prepared and served in that plentiful
era of my life. Every one had what
they wanted and then we were so
full and tired of excitement that the
children were ready to start on home
with the older school children that
had been in school the most of the
day. Dear readers, that has been
seventy-eight years ago, and I seem
to see everything clearly that I en
joyed on that happy occasion.
about October 1 will have sets for
transplanting in January as already
pointed out. These seed will make
large onions in first April and May.

DESTROYING BORERS IN PECAN
TREES
O. M. A., Tennille, Ga., writes:
t have a pecan orchard begin
ning to bear. Very small borers
have recently killed three trees,
and are now in the trunks of
three others. What can I do to
destroy them and prevent their
return?
The best way of controlling borers
attacking pecans is as follows: Take
a sharp, fine pointed knife and cut
the borers out. The wound should
then be painted so that it will heal
quickly. Trees Should be examined
at least twice a year for borers, and
every one which can possibly be lo
cated should be immediately killed.
Injury from borers is often encour
aged by careless laborers who
abrade or injure the bark of the
trees. Trees which are not making
a hearty, vigorous growth and those
which have been injured by sun
scald are most susceptible to this
trouble. Clean cultivation and liber
al fertilization of the orchard will
often minimize the damage which
might otherwise be done by pests of
this character.

I remember my pretty new dress
and the yellow sash about my waist
and I Expect we were all a droll
set of little ones, made shy by our
Sunday clothes on this dress-up oc
casion.
In all these intervening years it
has been pleasant to recall the happy
birthday party whenever I have seen
other children just as happy in my
later years. I have been the mother
of five dear children. All are in
the “better land” save one. and he
passed his fifty-first birthday four
days ago. The fifth of June was
also my only daughter’s birthday, and
she would have been sixty-four years
old today, if she had lived to bless
her mother’s home and life.
Because my mind is full of these
birthday anniversaries I am writing
to the dear Tri-Weekly Journal read
ers about my thoughts on my eighty
fifth birthday.
I am so thankful to the dear Lord
for His protecting mercies that I’
am glad to set down that gratitude
in print. He has led me a long way
in safety to this good day of grace
and gospel. In sunshine and storm,
my path has been cleared in front
of me.
I have often been very anxious—
have had all sorts of ups and downs
as to fortune, have lost dear ones
when the grief was heavy, yet the
Father* in Heavon has brought rhe to
the present hour, in normal health
and still anxious to do all the good
I may and be as happy as I can and
to serve my day and generation
faithful and loyal to the end.
I count among my privileges and
enjoyments the satisfaction of writ
ing to you dear readers twice a
week. I think about you a great deal
of what the present serious unrest
in the world will do for your future
and your progress, educational, re
ligious and commercial.
I's I could have my way you should
have a clear and open path to the
best things in all these lines of sat
isfaction and prosperity. But we
should never forget that God is in
His heavens and it will be well at
last with the world.”
My kindest regards and loving
hopes are yours—one and all.
phide. To accomplish this, place the
corn in a comparatively tight box or
bin. Next, secure a quantity of
carbon bisulphide and pour about
one-fourth to one-half pound out
into a shallow pan. This should be
placed on top of the box or bin con
taining the grain, and the whole
should then be covered with a heavy
tarpaulin or anything which will
cover the box satisfactorily. Carbon
bisulphide evaporates very quickly.
It is much heavier than air. It
penetrates rapidly to every part of
the box and effectively destroys
grain weevils. Grain should be
treated for about twenty-fowr hours’,
and you should use one and one-half
to two pounds of the carbon bisul
phid per ton of grain to be treated.
If you do not treat it for more than
thirty-six hours, the germinating
power of the grain will not be affect
ed. In open cribs or porous build
ings, it may be necessary to use
about twice the quantity ordinarily
found necessary. As the grain
weevil lays eggs which hatch and
permits of the development of adult
weevils in a period of about six
weeks, it is easy to see how there
may be as maney as six broods in a
given year in the south. It is desir
able, therefore, that the grain be
treated about once every six weeks
dr ing the warmest weather so as
to effectually kill out and destroy
weevils hatching from eggs laid pre
viously to any given treatment.

stone walls in China, uncovered to

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I want some advice please. No'
I’m not coming as the bigest portion
of girls come. I want some real
advice, not relating to boys either.
Can you tell me what causes the
hair to split at the ends? And is
there any cure for it and what is it?
What causes oily hair? And if there
is a remedy? Please tell me. What
causes black head pimples and what
will take them off? Thanking you
for your advice. Sincerely
MODESTY.
Modesty: The cause of hair
splitting at the ends, is dryness,
lack of nourishment. Oily hair
is caused by weakened hair
glands or ducts, and nervousness.
I have a recipe a subscriber sent
to me a few days ago, saying that
it would make the hair grow and
it seems to be all-round good for
the hair. You can try it if you
wish. One teaspoonful sulpher
and pure hog lard (not cotolene)
enough to make a paste. Rub
the scalp thoroughly and let it
stay on four hours. Then wash
off with rainwater. Be sure
and use hog-lard and rainwater,
or else you will not get results.
Subscriber guarantees this to
improve' the scalp and grow
healthy hair. Use once or twice
a month. For bumpy complexion
and black heads, cleanse the face
first with a good cold cream,
then scrub well with pure castle
soap, using the finger tips to
work the soap in, then bathe
freely in water hot enough to
stand on the face, so as to dis
solve the soap and grease. Then
finally cold or iced water, used
freely. That closes the pores.
Do not use creams or powders
of any sort until the face heals.
In meantime to be careful of
your diet. Keep the system free
of poisonous matter, drink plen
ty of water. And if what I have
told you won’t improve your
looks, nothing will.
I am twenty years of age and go
with a man of thirty-seven. When
our acquaintance first began I did
not like him. He was very nice and
good to me and I finally grew to like
him, from liking to what I thought
love for him. He detected the change
and proposed. I accepted. For the
last six months I have found I did
not love him and have told him so,
but he begs me to marry him, say
ing he will win my love back. But
I don’t feel that way. I don’t want
to be fickle- and break my promise.
I have tried to loye him again and
cannot. Please tell me what to do.
Eleven o’clock is my retiring time.
When a young man calls and speaks
of leaving at ten, must I ask him
to stay longer, or tell him he might
do so? If he only says “good-night,”
must I tell him I have enjoyed his
company? When I receive a note
asking for a date to call and they do
not mention the time, must I write
them the time to call?
Thanking you in advance, I am,
Your friend,
PEGGIE.
Peggie: You never really loved
the young man; you just felt im
pressed by his, love for you. For
if you had you would not have
been so changeable. I would not
marry him if I wete you unless
you are positive you can love
him. If you do not now, Ido not
think you ever will. Do not make
your life and his unhappy, unless
you love him, because it takes a
lot of love to sail through life’s
sea of matrimony together. Life
is not hard to bear when trials
come, when you love each other.
If a young man wants to leave at
ten, do not urge him to stay;
he may need rest, or have many
things to do, which he doesn’t
feel concerns you. When you re
ceive a note asking to call to see
you, answer it and say what
evenings you are free to have his
company, and if it is agreeable
you will expect him on that date.
I am a lonely girl of nineteen
summers, and am coming to you for
advice. I have been going with a
boy four months, whom I love very
dearly and am engaged to him to
be married, but my parents won’t
allow me to go with him. For a
while, they were not so bitterly
against him, but my brother had
told me never to go with him, he
also made me send back the engage
ment ring.
The boy knows that my people
don’t want me to go with him, but
he still tries to go with me, although
he doesn’t come to my home. I have
told him that I cannot go with him
any more any time soon. He says he
loves me better now than ever be
fore.
My parents say that if I marry
him" I can never come back home.
Do you think they will clFange after
we are married.
He hasn’t any bad habits, in fact,
he is really the nicest boy I have
ever been with. I cannot say how
he does around others, but he acts
with decency around me, I have
never seen him misbehave, and I
knew him about two years before I
went with him any.
They have said so many ( harsh
things about him, I don’t know
whether to marry him or not, but
I can never really be happy without
.him and he says he cannot without
me. What would you advise me to
do? Answer through the Journal
at once. And oblige,
GREY EYES.
Four . months is not long
enough to find out about a
man. I wouldn’t be too
hasty if were you. At the same
time I wouldn’t give him up just
because others dislike him. Just
be quiet and say nothing at all
about the young man to your
family, but try to find out the
real cause of their dislike for
him. They may have a very
good reason that you do not
know. I would wait at least six
months longer, and if you still
care for him and he is a gentle
man and you are positive he is
decent morally and honest, then
marry him. But go a little slow
just now, keep your thoughts to
yourself land see what is the real
cause of your family’s dislike.
Perhaps your mother thinks you
are too young to marry any
one. Live as peaceably home
as you can and try not antago
nize your mother and brothers.
Maybe you can win them yet to
your idea of thinking. Tact and
diplomacy can accomplish more
than all the arguments in the
world.

SATURpAT, JUNE 12, 1920.
Here comes a Noth Carolina girl
for advice. I was going with a
nice young gentleman regular until
one night he called to see me without
an engagement. At the same time
I was going with a boy just once
in a while, and that night the young
gentleman came the other boy was
to see me. Neither of them had
an engagement with me. The young
gentleman and I were very close
friends, but he has not been at my
home to see me since that night.
But I went away to his home town
to visit my aunt, and he came to
see me almost every day and night.
I still have his ring and a few very
nice presents he’s given to» me, and
he gave me his picture the last time
he came to see me. We’ve not had
any cross words at all. I wrote to
him since I came home and before
I went to visit, and he will not or
has not answered my letters. Tell
me what he means by acting so. He
says he loves me as dear as ever.
What would you advise me to do?
I’ve offered him his ring and all the
presents he gave me, but he will not
take them back. He says he has no
reason for wanting them, as he is not
mad with me.
Please answer this letter in the
paper. PET.
Are you perfectly sure you
did not make an engagement
with both the young men? I
know girls pretty well, and a lit
tle about boys. Girls are sweet
and dear, but they will tell little
fibs about their love affairs. If
you were innocent of any wrong,
your best beau took offense,
let him alone. Do not lose your
selfrespect or pride by catering
to a man who is so narrow as all
that. Let him alone. Keep his
presents and ignore him entire
ly. But secretly hold to him if
you care for him. He will event
ually come around, if he cares
anything at all for you. Give him
time. Then, if he does not try ,
to see you and make up with
you, and you have any presents
given in an engagement form,
return them, but 1 do not be
lieve in returning presents given
in any other spirit. Would you
give back the presents you get
on Christmas from any other
triend? A gift is a gift. And
men should not be so free with
their money and buy girls ex
pensive presents unless they
want them to keep them. It
may teach them a lesson or two.
Miss Meredith, as I am a mother
less girl and do not even remember
mother, 1 am coming to you for ad
vie>. I am a school teacher, age
twenty-four. 1 am fond of teaching,
too.
I have never cared very much for
boys only, as friends, but not as
beaus. Most of them claim, me as
their sweetheart, though. I am now
corresponding with a nice boy who
is just a little older than myself. He
says he loves me dearly and will
never be satisfied without me, and 1
am the only girl he ever has or ever
can love and that he loved me the
first time we met. How can I tell
whether he really loves me or not,
as I want a loving husband? Sev
eral have told me just such as that
before.
I have blue eyes, black hair, me
dium complexion. What colors will
suit me? How long should I wear
my dresses?
Now, if you were me, you
marry now or teach school awhile
longer?
I thank you for any advice.
A JOLLY GIRL.
If you have one grain of intui
tion, it seems to me your sense
would tell you whether a man
is in love with you. He will
prove it by wanting to be with
you, by trying to see you every
opportunity, to praise you, by
being thoughtful, by his face
lighting up when he sees you,
the object of his adoration com
ing toward him, “yea, in a thou
sand ways”—the way of man
ever since the time of Adam.
There is no set rule, but they
nearly always play the same
game. Heavens, don’t marry a
man unless you can reciprocate
some of lus affection. I should
say, a great deal. Teach school
all your life, and be independ
ent, but do not cheapen yourself
by selling yourself to a man for
his goods and chattels. I am a
great believer in love; love for
friends, for work, for play, for
music, and everything, and a big
believer in love for husband and
wife, for with such a firm foun
dation, the devil won’t be able to
get his horns edeged in any of
the crevices he sees about. And
I am not an old mai, either.
