==%- .—AWD SUCCESSFUL FARMING
~Z7»K By Andrew M. iSovle
Gardoiiing' For Girls
We are frequently requested by
teachers and interested readers to
advise members bf the girls’ clubs
about the nature and character of
the work they should undertake
from year to year. It is inadvisable
that the girl continue to do the
same things year after year. Let
her change her policy somewhat
each year. Add some new feature
to the work. By this arrangement
we give variety and add zest to
the undertaking. We also train and
develop the girls more effectually
and add greatly to her accomplish
ments.
With this end in view, I present
below, a summary of some of the
suggestions made relative to the
subject under discussion. We have
a large number of women county
agents in Georgia, and many of
them have now been at work for
several years. They are annually
called into conference that those
who supervise may be advised and
informed as to the problems of the
field workers. Out of these con
ferences have grown the summary
of suggestions set forth below.
These attempts to indicate the na
ture and character of the /work
a girl should do during the first
year of her enrollment in the can
ning club. This is followed by sug
gestions dealing with the work
of the first, second and fourth
years.
A girl who wishes to join the
canning club must, of course, par
ticipate in the gardening, canning
and sewing work outlined. She must
also purchase the necessary equip
ment and undertake to use club pro
ducts in her home. The handling
and marketing of any club products
she may put up will be undertaken
by the agent. This is necessary in
order that the output of a given
county may be standardized. Unless
this is done, the club work might
be brought intq disrepute by some
carelessness, oversight, or neglect.
In addition thereto, one girl would
seldom have enough of any product
to justify her attempting to market
it on an individual basis. A part
of the necessary, essential instruc
tion of the canning club girls is to
teach them the necessity of coop
eration and the principles which
underlie its successful institution in
communities where the workers are
separated as they are in the open
country.
First Year Work
Gardening and Canning. One
twentieth acre, chiefly tomatoes for
canning. A girl may, if she desires,
plant a full tenth acre. Club mem
bers may plant string beans for
home canning and the vegetables
necessary for making soup mixture.
Canning in tin to be undertaken for
the first time. Soup mixture, creole
sauce, string beans, and tomato
/catsup may be put up for home
use.
Equipment. Make cane packing
paddles. Purchase paring knife, tip
ping copper, capping steel, scales,
standard containers, canner, if pos
sible. , , ~
Sewing. Make cup towel, holder,
canning club cap and apron.
Home Use of Club Products. Make
cream of vegetables soup, cook veg
etables from girl’s garden and make
simple desserts from the fruits. This
work can also be stressed in utili
zation of club product in school
lunches.
Marketing. Products for market
should be limited to plain canned
tomatoes soup mixture or canned
peaches. Local conditions should be
considered in choosing products to
be marketed.
Second Year Work
Gardening and Canning. One
twentieth acre tomatoes and one
other vegetable, either pimentos or
string beans. A sufficient number
of vegetables may be grown to make
standard soup mixture or creole
sauce. Standardize canned string
beans, pepper products or soup mix
ture. Also fruit and berry jams and
marmalades. Peach preserves may
also be made for home use.
Perennials. Start perennial gard
ens not later than beginning of sec
ond year. Perennial crops shall con
sist of Thomas and Luola varieties
of muscadine grapes, asparagus,
dewberries, figs, peaches or pecans.
A girl is expected to select one or
two perennials for definite work,
looking toward the marketing of the
products. She may also choose two
or more other perennials to be grown
in small quantities so that she may
have a greater variety of products
for home use. Ten or twelve crowns
of asparagus will be found sufficient
for the average famly and a fraction
of the number of vines or trees
designated for a marketing 'demon
stration may be chosen for the pro
duction of fresh fruits for the home.
A demonstration in grapes for mar
ket should consist of from five to
ten vines of either Thomas or Luola
variety or muscadine grapes, while
six fig bushes should be planted, if
figs be chosen. By planting differ
ent varieties of figs, the season for
fresh fruit may be prolonged. If
JI
berries be selected, fifty vines of
the Eldorado variety of blackberries
or of the Lucretia variety of dew
berries should be planted. If a girl
in north Georgia wishes to grow
raspberries, the best variety of red
raspberries is probably the Cuthbert:
Cumberland and Farmer are the best
'black raspberry varieties and the
Cardinal the best purple raspberry
for the south. About fifty rasp
berry vines should be planted, the
greater majority should be of one,
variety. In the peach belt many
girls will want to plant peaches, or
in south Georgia the girls may
choose pecans. A demonstration in
peaches should consist of 6 to 10
trees while with pecans one should
set 6 trees. In many cases the set
ting of perennials can be promoted
by the purchase of nursery stock
with prize money.
Equipment. Make cane packing
paddle, paddle for stirring jams and
testing jelly. Purchase canner,
puree sieve, food chopper, standard
containers, spraying outfit, if pos
sible.
Sewing. Make emblems for cap
and apron and make canning club
dress. Stencil portfolio, book cover
or wall pockets.
Home Use of Club Products. Con
tinue cooking of vegetables; make
salad from fresh vegetables; make
salad dressings; cook dried and can
ned products when fresh ones are not
in season.
Marketing. Products for market
may be those taught for home use
in the previous year; only one or
two products should be chosen in
order that the girl may standardize
her products and be able to devote
enough time to the work to insure
success. A list of products from
which may be chosen one Or two
for market are tomato catsup, string
beans, canned pimentos, Dixie relish,
berry jams and fruit marmalades.
Gardening and Canning. One-twen
tieth acre to be planted in three
vegetables: tomatoes, pepper and
string beans. Other crops may be
cucumbers or chayotes for pickling,
corn for drying or vegetables for
making standard soup mixtures. Con
tinue perennial plantings. If the per
ennial garden is coming into bear
ing, the girl may plant such food
crops as peanuts or soy beans or
both.
Equipment. Make grape crusher
and press. Purchase standard con
tainers, thermometer, and good pre*
serving kettle. (Buy saccharometer
when needed.)
Sewing. Make uniform dress, cap
and apron, embroidering emblems.
May make napkins and square lunch
cloth embroiderin'g in cross stitch
with fruit or vegetable designs for
use at club entertainments. If these
are not completed in third year, they
may be finished in the fourth year.
Home Use of Club Products. Cook
vegetables making proper combina
tions of starchy and succulent kinds.
Make a loaf of dried beans or peas
to be served with tomato or creole
sauce Make sandwiches for supper
and lunches, using left-over vegeta
bles with salad dressing, peanut but
ter, or pimentoes with cottage
cheese, this work to contribute to the
school lunch. Cook poultry products.
Stress use of fruit juices and syr
ups.
Marketing. By the time the girl
has been in the club three years she
should have, developed skill enough
to have established a market for
certain products. These she should
continue to\ market. In addition she
may market jams, marmalades, fig
conserve or peach preserves.
Gardening and Canning. The per
ennial garden and its products may
consume the entire time or the girl
may in addition raise such vegeta
bles as may be used fresh or con
served dry. These vegetables may
occupy cne-twentieth acre and may
be peanuts, soy beans, or some spe
cial vegetables such as cucumber
and chayote < for use in a canned
product which the girl may have
adopted for marketing. Make stand
ardized grape, berry and fig products,
also vinegar. May continue twen
tieth acre if perennials have not been
planted
Equipment. Make sewing screen,
make baskets of pine needles, willow
reeds or oak splints for fancy gift
packages. Purchase oil stove if pos
sible and utensils suited to the wprk.
Sewing. Make uniform dress, cap
and apron if needed. Further work
in sewing may be done according to
problems outlined in bulletin on Sew
ing for Girls’ clubs:
Home Use of Cluo Products. Make
yeast bread, using peanut and soy
bean meal as wheat flour substitutes.
Make sandwiches, using home-made
.bread with peanut butter, pimento,
cottage cheese, grape paste and poul
try products. Cook poultry products.
Use fruit juices and syrups in whole
some and attractive ways.
Marketing. Cucumber, chayote,
fig, and watermelon pickles, fig ami,
watermelon preserves, grape jam. cold
pressed grape juice and vinegar.
KUDZU VINES FOB HAY MAK
ING
A. B. H., Keysville, Va., writes:
I Tiave been thinking of experi
menting with Kudzu vines, and
would like to know if you con
sider it practical as a hay crop
and a land improver.
The Kudzu vine can be grovzn
with considerable advantage on
galled acreas of land at times. It
will help to cover up such acreas by
shading the land and lessening ero
sion, and tends to enrich and improve
the soil. We have not found it to be
as rapid a grower in such locations
as the many claims set up for it
would indicate. On the other hand,
it will yield a considerable amount of
grazing in this climate, and some
classes of stock will eat it with a
fair amount of relish. We do not
think it -would be good to feed to
cows, as it glv<’s ii;e milk a very
strong flavor. Beef cattle would eat
i‘. to some a<'vantaire at timvs. We
do not consider, from our exier’-
ence, that it would be practicable to
make, it into hay in this climate.
TBBATMEJTT OF GARGET
W. C., Arcadia, Fla., writes:
When our milk begins to sour it
gets stringy. We have boiled
the bottles and done everything
we knew to do. Can it be the
water they drink or plants they
eat. Any remedy you can sug
gest will be appreciated.
Stringy milk is caused by fungi
developed in the liquid. The spores
which cause this trouble may be
present in the system of the cow.
Troubles of this character frequent
ly occur at this season of the year.
As a rule, it is a temporary condi
tion. Cows may recover in ten days
or a fortnight. Then other animals
in the same herd will be attacked.
These fungi are not evident in the
milk when it is first drawn, but after
it stands for a few hours, their pres
ence is easily detected. Troubles of
this character frequently occur from
cattie having access to water which
is not pure or which has become
infested with the fungi described. I
suggest that you keep your cow out
of low, swampy areas of ground and
see if this trouble does not disap
pear. Two drams of bi-sulphide of
soda daily may be given to affected
cows with advantage. Os course, all
measures for the control or suppres
sion of this trouble should be. car
ried cut as diligently as possible.
Bees As Producers of Sugar Sub
stitutes
R. G. 8., Cedartown. Ga.,
writes: Please tell me where I
can secure Texas sweet clover
as a honey producer for my
bees. Would also like to secure
some buckwheat seed. In the
world shortage of sugar I do not
think the bee industry should
be neglected.
You should not hahve any serious
difficulty in securing sweet clover
seed or buckwheat seed from any re
liable seedsman. There may not be
an over-abundant supply "of these
seed available, but I am sure you
can secure moderate amounts with
out great difficulty. I would sug
gest that you write to a number of
seedsemen immediately. Sweet clov
er, in our experience, is not as eas
ily established on our Georgia soils
as one migh suppose. It takes two
years, as a rule, to develop a good
stand. It has proven more satisfac
tory in our experience when seeded
in the late summer or early fall. We
rather doubt the advisability of seed
ing so late in the season. When
planting sweet clover, use about sis-
AUNT JULIA'S
LETTER BOX
Dear Children: My, but aren’t these warm days lovely after
all the.cold, rainy weather? The thing that worries me is that the
weeds grow faster than the plants in my garden. I want to ask you
young farmers a question. I know I could go to some garden au
thority and find out, but I’d rasher ask you. Why do you suppose
my turnip tops have whitish, faded streaks in them? Is it a form
of blight or is it my fault for too much watering or too little? I
will greatly appreciate some advice. Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins:—Will you
teen pounds of seed per acre. We
suggest that you purchase scarified
seed as they are much more likely to
germinate quickly than, those which
have not been treated in the manner
indicated. ,
Buckwheat is a valuable crop to
grow for bees. It may be planted
early in the spring in Georgia or rela
tively late in the summer. There
should be no trouble about growing
two Crops a year in this state. It is
not a difficult crop to establish. It
should be broadcasted or drilled into
the land. A complete fertilizer used
at . the rate of three hundred pounds
per acre can be used to advantage.
A good formula to use is 8 per cent
of available phosphoric acid. 3 per
cent of available nitrogen and 3 per
cent of available potash. Buckwheat
will also make a considerable yield
of grain which constitutes a valuable
food, while excellent hot cakes are
made from the flour. It is a good
soil improver and an excellent crop
to use on land where one desires to
smother out a heavy growth of
weeds.
DESTROYING WORMS ON TO
BACCO
R. H., Collin#, Ga.., writes:
Please tell me what kind of poi
son to use on tobacco to k ! ll bud
worms, and also the proper
method of applying it.
The best method of destroying bud
worms attacking tobacco is as fol
lows: Prepare a mixture of one pound
of arsenate of lead and seventy-five
pounds of corn meal. Mix together
thoroughly and apply as a dry pow
der, which may be put on the buds
with the fingers or sifted through
a baaing powder can with nail holes
in the bottom. Make two applica
tions a week. When the plants be
come larger, it is usually necessary
to open the bud with one hand and
drop a small portion of the mixture
with the other. Paris green can also
be used to control the bud worms,
but as it is likely to burn the leaves,
there is naturally a strong objection
to its use. If arsenate of lead can
not be secured, Paris green may be
used. In that event, mix one pound
of Paris green with 150 pounds of
corn meal. This mixture should be
applied at the rate of from twelve
to fourteen pounds per acre.
ABnormal Fermentations in Milk
W. M. C., Rome, Ga., writes:
I have a cow with her first calf
three months old. She' gives two
gallons of milk a day. The milk
before it clabbers has good
cream on it and when it clab
bers the cream turns to whey,
and it will not make butter.
Any assistance you can render
us will be appreciated.
Troubles such as you describe are
often met with. While this condi
tion may develop at any season of
the year, it is most commonly met
with in the spring than at other
seasons. This, no. doubt, is due to
the change from cool to warm
weather. The best method to fol
low to overcome ■ this trouble is to
first sterilize all of the utensils and
dishes used in the holding and han
dling of the milk. This should in
clude the churn. To accomplish the
end in view, everything should be
boiled several hours. The utensils
should then be spread out in the
sun to dry and air. Put boiling
water in the churn and let it stand
until cool. Replace it with another
lot. Continue this process for sev
eral hours. If you have been us
ing cloths in or about the utensils,
dispose of them and instead pur
chase a good, stiff bristled brush
to use in scrubbing and cleansing
the utensile. Sal soda may be used,
in the water with advantage. It
exerts a sweetening and wholesome
influence and aids in the destruc
tion of the bacteria which cause the
trouble about which you write.
Next, see that the udder of the
cow. has been carefully washed and
dried before milking. The milker
should also be sure that his hands
are clean. The udder can be soft
ened by oiling it after each milking.
Draw the milk from all parts of the
udder very thoroughly. If there
seems to be any congestion or in
flammation, bathe the affected part
with hot water. Rub dry, knead
gently and then cover with a cam
phorated-lard ointment to prevent
chafing. The thorough cleansing of
the udder by the exterior treatment
recommended and the frequent strip
ping-out clean of the milk are aids to
overcoming the difficulty you are ex
periencing.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here
comes one of your old cousins. I wonder
how many of you cousins remember me. I
wrote a letter to your Letter Box over two
years ago, and received many interesting
letters, more than I could answer, although
I enjoyed them all. Will not describe my
self this time as I did that before. My
age is seventeen. Wish some of your cous
ins were with me, for I am quite lonesome.
And it is raining. Say, what has become
of C. W., of M. G., and B. A., of L. G.?
Bet you haven’t forgotten me, have you?
Oh, cousins, isn’t Aunt Julia just the dear
est “auntie?” She helps us so much, es
pecially us motherless girls. My mother
died when I was a little girl, eleven years
old, so you see that left me to keep house
for my father and brothers and sisters. But
I enjoy the work very much, and I think
we should all do everything we can to
make our home more beautiful. Aunt Ju
lia, what do you think about a boy or girl
calling their parents, maw and paw? I
think it is awful. Well, as Aunt Julia
said not to make our letters too long, so
guess I had better run along. Would like
to hear from some of you “lonely sailors,”
especially from the sailor who likes the
southern girls so well. So let your letters
fly. I am your cousin,

Canning Powders Should
Not Be Used in Canning
In some communities there is a
Widespread use of canning powder.
Both boric and salicylic acid are
bought from the druggists for this
purpose. Large quantities of these
acids are also sold at a high price
under fanciful canning compound
names. „ x x „
The United States department of
agriculture warns against the use of
any preserving powder or canning
compound. Their use encourages
careless and uncleanly work, and
their excessive use may be attended
with serious effects upon digestion
and health. It is entirely practicable
to “put up” fruits and vegetables so
that they will keep indefinitely by
processing the products with heat.
There is no reason for taking the
risk of using canning powders.
The essentials in canning fruit and
vegetables are these:
Fresh products, pure water, care,
cleanliness, good jars, “live,” stand
ard rubber rings and sufficient heat to
process the products thoroughly in
the closed container.

Measureless itself.
Threescore and ten —
So that older men
Count their years
Like plunder;
So that younger men. who die,
Having lived a whole lifetime,
Feel cheated.
II
Day comes here, ‘
As though there were not time
enough for another dawn.
We seize it.
It is broken up into hours
As a city is broken up into streets.
And we travel wearily to the end of
them
As between narrow house-walls.
111
It starts with an alarm clock.
How can fchere be greatness in a day
That is led in by a bellwether,
A meek, God’s beast, to the charnel
house?
It is weighed on the clocks and ap
portioned:
Light, the tender white meat of the
day, to the masters:
The black meat, the gall and the
entrails to us—
So is the day slaughtered.
IV
So there shall be a time when the
day shall be like a meadow,
Open and free, with time like a
boundless sky,
And the pleasures growing like wild
flowers;
When life-spans shall be forgotten,
Where death shall be a ford across
a river,
When I shall not be crowded in be
tween hours.
When my sitting down shall not
have hanging over me the
shadow of my getting up.
For this it is worth laying waste
cities,
’And forgetting a civilization.

over other cakes of keeping fresh

which is excellent, is recommended
by food specialists of the United

% cup butter.
1 cup honey.
1 egg.
% cup sour milk.
1 teaspoon soda. »
% teaspoon cinnamon.
% teaspoon ginger.
4 cups flour.
Rub the butter and honey together:
add the egg well beaten, then the
sour milk and the flour sifted with
the soda and spices. Bake in a shal
low pan.

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
lam coming to you for advice. I
am a married woman of twenty-two.
Have blue eyes, fair complexion,
black hair and weigh 105 pounds. I
have been married nearly two years
and have one sweet little baby girl
ten months old. My husband is not
good to me only when he takes a no
tion. I am as good to him as I
can be except I fuss at him because
he goes to town every day and
stays all day, but don’t want me to
go but once or twice a year. He said
there wasn’t any sense in a woman
going to town every week or two.
All the other women go every Sat
urday. It is just two miles to town
from where we live, and he won’t
take me anywhere on Sunday except
to his people and I have to pec him
and treat him as I would a baby
to get to go anywhere else. We
live on a farm and have a car, and
don’t get to go anywhere hardly. 1
work and try to help him all I can.
He says he loves me, but I don’t
believe it. He don’t act like it
sometimes. I think lots of times of
leaving him, but have my baby to
raise. I left him one time and it
liked to have run him crazy, and I
came back to him, but it didn’t do
any good, so please give me good
advice on what to do. Please answer
this in the next paper, as I am
troubled. Please print this. Y mrs
truly, BRIGHT EYES.
• What you need is a shaking
up. The idea of letting your
husband tell you when you can
go to town, that is absurd.
Where is your womanhood?
Don’t you know he cannot have
much respect for you if you let
him browbeat you like that?
When you want to go to town
just say, Bill, Pete, George, or
whatever his name is, 1 am go
ing to town this morning and I
will be back at such an hour.
You have as much right as he
has. This is not the Stone age,
and your husband and every oth
er husband will look up to his
wife, and respect-her more if she
would assert herself. I think
married people can be happy if
they will only work out their
problems on a fifty-fifty basis.
Don’t be a nagger, and make
home unpleasant for your hus
band, and for goodness sake
don’t whine—anything a man
hates is a whining woman. Be
a sport and play the game to
the finish, you can do it. I know
what I am talking about. Do
you want to know what a vam
pire means this day and time?
She isn’t the terrible creature
who has been painted from time
to time, a creature who preys on
men, and sends them to perdi
tion by her sorcery. No, she is
the “woman who understands.”
The woman who has sense
enough to keep her mouth shut
at the right time, who has moral
courage and backbone, who isn’t
afraid to do right, who by her
womanly sweetness and good '
comradeship holds a man at her
side, who wouldn’t dc> any
thing to hurt another, a woman
who inspires confidence and re
spect. That is a real vampire.
For she is the kind men will
never forsake. Now, you just
take a grip on yourself, see.what
your faults are first, and try
to correct them, and little by lit
tle in a quiet manner assert
yourself and, my dear, you will
win out in the end-
Here comes a boy for advice. I
have been going with a girl for three
years and I love her dearly. And
she says she loves me with her whole
heart, but she seems to take up lots
of her time with other boys. We
are engaged and the last time I was
over to see her I went into the store
where she works when I was leav
ing to tell her good-bye and she was
talking with another boy and she
didn’t make any effort' at all to tell
me good-bye or give me a chance to
say anything to her. What do you
think she meant by doing so? Do
you think she loves me like she
says? She likes for you to hug and
kiss her, in fact, she will ask you to
do such and she never gets tired of
it. Do you think she means any
harm? Please give me your advice
on the question and nrint it in The
.Journal. BROWN EYES.
Three years is quite a long
time to be engaged. Why don't
you marry her? I do not believe
in long engagements. This girl
finds just being engaged to you
very monotonaus and as she is
young naturally she likes the so
ciety of other men. I really
think she is a little tired of you.
The noveltv of being engaged
has worn off. If you love her as
you say you do. then you should
make everv effort to marry he l "
without delay. Or else be a ma”
end release her from her prom
ise. I do not think she sholuld
ask you to kiss her, but if she
places that much confidence in
you then be a man and do not
talk about her faults to any one
else. You are rather an excep
tional case, for most men
the “kissing game” pretty well,
and get really angry with a girl
because she doesn’t, grant their
request. I do not think the girl
means any real harm. If you
love her, respect her. believe In
her, girls are not as bad as min
are led to believe. T would have
a plain understanding with her
thouah and find w’here you stand
end do not nut it off.

TUESDAY. JUNE 22. 1020.
I am a lonely girl of 17 summers
coming to you for advice after a hoy
has slighted me. Should I speak when
I see him? He tries to talk to me
and when I am with another boy why
he comes and tries to talk to me.
Should he do that way? He was the
cause of us busting up.
Do you think I am too young to
go with boys? I will be 17 years old
the Fourth of July. If a boy gives
me a wrist watch and then gets mad
at me should I give it back to him if
he asks me for it? What would be
nice to give a boy for a birthday
present? Please print this soon, for
I want to see it in print before the
21st of June if I possibly can. Am I
too old to curl my hair? Everyone
says for he to curl it. It suits me
Am I old enough to wear high heel
slippers and is drop-stitched stock
ings all right to wear? Are the girls
still wearing their hair in puffs?
Thank you for advice. Please print
before the 21st of June if you can
at all. ROSEBUD.
Rosebud:
When a boy has slighted you,
and afterwards tries to be nice
to you, accept him on the terms
he offers, that is be equally as
nice to him, but do not give him
another opportunity to slight
you in the future. Pay no at
tention to his nice ways, except
to always act the part of a lady
and treat him politely. I do not
think you are too young to have
boy friends. If a boy has given
you a wrist watch on a purely
friendly basis he has no right to
'want it back. That is the reason
I say that girls have no business
accepting costly presents from
boys, unless they are engaged to
be married, and when a boy gives
a girl a nice present he is a
sorry sort of a fellow to want it
back when he gets on the “outs”
with her. So girls be careful and
boys, do not be so foolish. I
cannot tell you what to give a
boy for a birthday present be
cause I do not know his tastes.
If he likes to read you might
give him a book, or some nice
hand-made linen handkerchiefs,
one or more if you desire. Find
out his hobby and taste for cer
tain things and choose your
present accordingly. You can
wear high heel shoes if you wish,
but If you have never had them
on, take la. little advice from me
and do not ever wear them. You
will never suffer with aching
feet or have foot trouble. The
drawn look on a woman’s face
is anything but attractive and
pretty when her feet are full of
bunions and corns. And high'
heels will do this and morfe if
you wear them. Young girls
pompadoured, brushed back from
the forehead and pompadoured
across the crown of the head and
seem to be wearing their hair
puffed out on the sides.
If a girl refuses a young man’s
proposal he thinks she doesn’t know
her mind, so he doesn’t mind, her
“no.”
There is no other race so easy for
the bookmaker as the human race.
