The place these crops should have in the rotation, time at which they should be seeded for planting, the'period, when the crops will give | the largest amount of grazing and the method of handling grazing crops of this character are matters of primary importance to swine raisers. Therefore, the information which has been collected on this subject .will be found worthy of care ful study' by the average hog grow er in Georgia. Many of the ideas suggested below are of great prac tical importance, and will enable our hog raisers to- lessen their produc tion costs, quite materially. It goes without saying that the facts pre sented are based on the experience of the field workers of the Georgia State College of Agriculture. It is not always possible to have permanent pasture for pigs when forage is needed for them, therefore great wisdom and judgment will be displayed by providing temporary forage, such as oats, rye, rape, millet, sbrghum, cowpeas, etc., to assist the permanent pastures In furnishing green feed for the pigs. These cereal forage crops when about 6 to- 10 inches high carry con siderable protein, a' muscle building constituent needed- particularly .by young growing animals. Analyses show that rye, oats and wheat when about 8 inches high carry more di gestible crude protein than the legume, alfalfa. As alfalfa is an out standing forage this comparison makes it evident that one or more of these cereals should find a place in the grazing crop scheme for hogs. Father than furnishing excellent feed for hogs the system of cereal forage in conjunction with perma nent pasture makes it possible to shift the animals from a field that has been grazed to exhaustion to a fresh field or pasture where green grazing may be had. Oats. An early fall planting of oats will come on in time to fur nish some winter grazing and will continue through the spring. Pigs and hogs of all ages do well on oat grazing if some concentrated feed is fed with it. Oats will not stand as close grazing and as much tramp ing as permanent pastures, so care should be taken not to graze too closely or to overstock the field. Rye and wheat. These crops are more hardly than oats and will also endure more severe winters. Rye as a hog grazing crop is more popu lar in Georgia than is wheat al though there is very little difference in their actual feeding .value. Vir tually the same principles that ap ply to the fall planting of oats may be followed with rye and wheat. Rape. This member of the turnip family is one of the best grazing crops for hogs. The habits of the plant are such that it stores its nutriment in the leaves and stems which are'the portions eaten by the hogs. Rape is a hardy plant and is suited for fall and early spring planting. About 6 to 10 weeks aft er planting the crop may be. grazed Its quick growing qualities together with its hardiness make it valuable as a late fall and spring forage for hogs. Dwarf Essex Is the best va riety for grazing purposes. It should , be sown in rows about 16 'to IS inches apart. For best results ir should be sown on good rich land which should be fertilized at time of planting. Millet.—This is a rapid -growing plant that develops rank forage and is a good spring and early summer grazing crop for hogs. It may be sown either broadcast or in drills. Millet requires fertile soil and the fields should be rotated freely, as the crop is rather exhaustive to the soil. A mixture of millet-and cowpeas is a good grazing combination for hogs and is not, so detrimental to the soil as is millet alone. Cowpeas.—ln pratcically all sec tions of Georgia this legume pro duces good grazing. Cowpeas thrive on land that will not in many cases support other leguminous crops. The fact that this crop is a soil builder adds td its value. In the grazing system for hogs, ’ cowpeas are most widely used as an early summer forage. Sorghum and Cowpeas.—The com bination of sorghum and cowpeas is very commonly used in Georgia as a hay crop, and as such it is valuable to the live stock farmer. It Is no less important and valuable as a hog grazing crop. Sorghum is a drouth resistant plant but draws heavily upon the fertility of the soil. Where the amount of sorghum is reduced by the addition <?f cowpeas' the crop is not so exhaustive to the soil as is sorghum alone, and the resulting forage is of higher quality. Not only does this mixture draw less upon the fertility of the soil, but the cow peas due to their leguminous prop erties are a decided benefit. It is true that cowpeas cannot stand drouth as well as sorghum, but their I soil-building tendencies overbalance this trait. This mixture of crops is I gaining favor among big raisers of. I Georgia on account of its ability to I furnish summer grazing. Corn and Velvet Beans. —Another Important combination of crops for grazing or “hogging off” is corn and velvet beans. The velvet beans are not particularly palatable to hogs, but on account of the soil-building properties of the plant, velvet beans are planted extensively with corn. Corn is a feed that is a great fat producer and is universally known as the great hog feed. The advan tage of “hogging down" corn is that a saving in labor of harvesting and feeding is effected and the waste in the manure produced is reduced to a minimum. Peanuts.—The principal use of peanuts as a hog feed is not that of a grazing crop, but as a fattening feed which is obtained directly from the nuts. Hogs relish peanuts, and when feeding on them fatten very rapidly/ The pork formed, however, is oily and of a dark yellowish color and does not stand in favor with the buyers at terminal markets. On this account it is well for the pro ducer of market hogs on a large scale to feed peanuts in limited amounts. The waste nuts left behind the peanut picker are, in numerous cases, allowed to be consumed by hogs turned into the field after the crop has been harvested for the com mercial peanut market. This is an economical practice, but in many in stances causes a soft condition in the pork and pork by-products pro duced which is difficult to eliminate oven bv later feeding on corn. Pea nuts which are not especially ex haustive to the soil are well adapted to the southern part of Georgia, as they require a Warrii sandy soil. Sweet Potatoes.’ —Abqut 68 per cent to 70 per cent of the sweet potato is water, so this tuber Is a bulky feed. It is high in starch and low in pro tein content, therefore its function as a hog feed is to produce fat rattier than muscle. In sections of Georgia where large yields are made, this crop may be used advantageously to reduce the amount of grain required in the ration. A common practice is to allow hogs to follow in the field after the potato'digger and feed upon the cull potatoes not suitable for commercial purposes. Potatoes re jected at the potato house may be utilized to advantage and profit by feeding them to hogs. z . n this practice it is not advisable, on account of their bulkiness, to feed more than two pounds to two and one-half pounds of, potatoes for each pound of grain in the ration. Other crops adapted to certain sections of Georgia and * ese ’’™ e °e consideration as forage for hogs are soy beans, bur clover, crimson clover,. white clover, vetch and chufas. Information About Field Crops H. W„ Blun, Ga., writes: Please send me bulletins on growing artichokes, chufas, sugar cane, and tell me whether cowpeas need manuring or not when planted for hay purposes. You can obtain much valuable data of the character you are necking by securing a list of the available bul letins published by .the United States Department of Agriculture and writ ing for those you desire to your con gressman, your federal senator, or to she S secretary of agriculture direct These farmers’ bulletins constitute a very valuable library for the farmer. Thev can be purchased at a cost ot a few cents if they cannot be secur ed in the manner I have suggested. Our state college of agriculture and experiment stations publish a great variety of bulletins. Cowpeas, as you doubtless know, belong to the leguminous family. They are credited with the power of extracting a greater part of the ni trogen they need from the air. If vou dig up a cowpea plant when it is six to ten inches high and look at the roots carefully, you will find a considerably number of little, white knots on them. Inside of these knots live certain microscopic organisms having the power to assimilate ni trogen directly out of the-air. Some times you will find that cowpeas do not prosper on land where they have not been planted before and on old soils that have become acid. The bacteria in question cannot live in an acid soil. Under such circum stances, the cowpeas have no power to secure the relatively large amount of nitrogen they need. Hence, they do not prosper. On new land, there may not be a sufficient number of the bacteria present on the seed to provide for the proper inoculation of the crop. Especialy is this likely to be true the first year after it is plant ed. The use of a culture for inocu lating cowpeas under the conditions described may, therefore, be good practice. On land where they have been grown successfully, we cannot say that it has proven profitable to inoculate cowpeas artifically. This crop makes quite a heavy use of the phosphoric acid and potash resources of the soil. It is good practice under existing conditions to use two to three hundred pounds of acid phos phate per acre under cowpeas when planted for hay. When potash can be purchased at a reasonable price, it will pay you to use enough of this material to supply each acre with from twelve to twenty-five pounds of readily available potash, » VAPrETTT.S OP PEANUTS FOR SOUTH GEORGIA R. 8., Bainbridge, Ga., writes: Please let me know the best va riety of large peanuts tp grow in this section. When is the best time to apply nitrate of soda to sugar cane and how much should be used? Some farmers claim they have had their crops burnt ana ruined by using it. Among the of peanuts which you can grow to advantage for the purpose you have, in mind are Valencia, the Virginia, the North Carolina and the .Tennessee Red. The North Carolina has been grown to some extent in Georgia, arfd it has done very well. You can probably secure seed from some growers in southwest Georgia. This would, no doubt., be an advantage, as the strains they are growing have probably be come acclimated successfully- by now, which Is quite a material advantage. There are some reliable growers in that section also who can, no <j° u ht, supply your need at a reasonable price. In so far as w r e know, you would have to purchase the other strains mentioned through-the agency of seed houses, of which there are a number of. large and reliable ones doing business here in the south. There is no reason why nitrate of soda should not be used as a top dressing on sugar cane. This is a gross feeding crop, and as our soils are rather low in this element, a liberal application is desirable. We would advise the use of 150 pounds per acre. Nitrate of soda may be put on after the crop is from fifteen to eighteen inches high. It may be used in one or two applications at the rate of about seventy-five pounds per acre. For a vigorous crop like sugar cane, we would put the other down the middles of the rows. There will be no trouble about its burning or injuring the crop provided it is distributed when the leaves are dry. There is an impression often that to secure proper benefits from nitrate of soda, one must put it very close to the plant. This is ndt true. The roots of plants, as one can readily find by a little examination spread over several feet of distance of the soil. Hence, the crop will quickly gather up and use the food put at some distance from the base of the plant. Seasonal conditions will in fluence the amount of nitrate of soda to use to some extent, but we do not. think two applications of the amount indicated made’ from two to three weeks apart will be -found too much to use. Our acquaintance with the soil and conditions in your section is such as to lead us to be lieve you will find it profitable to apply nitrate of soda to the sugar cane crop to the extent indicated. The poultry yard should be stir red or spaded up frequently f not in sod. This will not only tend to keep down any odors which might arise, ■but also law the droppings to be absorbed into the soil more readily and therefore kep the yard in bet ter condition fOr the hens. AUNT JULIA’S LETTER BOX Dear Children: I have been thinking of our Society for the Prevention of Cruel ty to Duinb Things and wondering what would be a good motto for us to adopt. How would you like this at the head of our column: “Help for the Helpless—Kindness to All Dumb Things.” That, you see, would take in our benevolent work and our work for dumb things, too. You see, all we will have to do about the dumb things will be to take a pledge to treat them kindly, where we can, fixing places for their care and protection and never allow ing anyone to mistreat them in our presence without bringing that person if we can to a realization that they are doing wrong. Why even when it is necessary to kill for food, it can be done humanely, arid no killing should ever be done just for sport. Os course, we are all too familiar with our benevolent work to need anything said about that. Let me know what you think of this heading to go just below “Aunt Julia’s Letter Box.” Lovingly, AUNT JULIA.

FELTON The Presidential Conventions One o£ the great parties has met and adjourned, and the other great party will be starting to Frisco when this article is printed in The Tri- Weekly Journal. It is a struggle among giants—and from all I can gather it is like a game of chance — more or less uncertain. We have all been spectators to a great undertaking with the Repub licans. General Leonard Wood start ed out among the first and it appear ed for a while as if he had secured a walk over. Then came along the Senator Johnson boom with immense enthusiasm and it seemed as if he had no rival in the west. It was a great demonstration, and also seemed to have a heart of sincerity behind it. Then Governor Lowden came to the front and he captured soon the solid south. There was a barrel of money exposed—more than in Valiant Mark Hanna’s time. But the convention sat nearly two weeks with committees and the convention proper, and final ly Senator Harding, of Ohio, one of the very quitest of the whole string of racers, dashed under the wire as the Among the cute sayings of Judge of pioneer Georgia days, was the following: “Nothing in life is certain, save degth and taxes.” In a big national convention to select can didates for president nothing is cer tain except campaign money and po litical trickery—more of the latter than the former —no matter how great the first may be. Around the booze the battle will be fought. The League of Nations will be indorsed most likely and the president is bound to have it indors ed—if his control is not fatally shat tered —therefore, there must be a bat tlefield set apart for “wets and drys.” That issue is virile and rampant if the Republican ticket is defeated it will be the result of dissatisfaction with this liquor prohibition. In both these conventions one thing is plainly apparent, namely, that the masses are not caring very much about the parties now-a-days. The war has made changes and the Re publican convention did not appre ciate the fact that the most of the voters are either indifferent as to voting or their heads are set to choose for themselves. A big contin gents pledging itself to a candidate in the federal prison. Another big con tingent is shaping toward a straight out labor party. Before the day of election in November the well-laid plans of both the two great parties may be shaken to pieces by unexpect ed uprising. Nothing has been cer tain or settled within the last two years in any direction, inside the state or-the nation. “I beam tell,” said Gap Johnson, of Rumpus Ridge, Ark., upon his return from the county seat, “that they are figgering on putting a pipe organ into the new church in town.” “Well, it may be all right for them that likes it that-a-way,” severely returned Mrs. Johnson, “but, as for me, I’m plum ag’in smoking in church." MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME I am coming to you for advice. I am a girl of fourteen, am in love with a widower of thirty-five. comes to see me every Sunday Rfto has asked me to marry him 'when school is out. Don’t you think we would be happy? I love him better than any one else and he says he loves me. Sign my name Brown Eyed Kate, so I will know my let ter. A widower and a girl of four teen, that is too much. It looks romantic now and you thrill at the idea of being* Mi's. So and So, but you may sing a different tune a few years from now. When he is a toothless old man, and you are just a young wom an, full with the joy of living, and when you gaze over at the fire place, or some other place, and see what-you are tied to, you will shed all kinds of tears of remorse and regret. Don’t do it. Take my advice and wait until you are' older, then marry some one nearer your own age. Y r ou will be happier. lam a girl of seventeen years. ] am five feet three inches tall, weigh one hundred and twenty pound. Is my weight about right. There is a boy of nineteen whq .seems to care for me although I do not want his company. What must I do to show him I don’t? There is another boy who acts indifferent at times. How should I treat him? What must 1 do when a girl tells things about ms which are not true? She seems to be jealous. I am BLUE EYES. The only way to act toward the young man who cares for you and you do not desire his company, jut do not encourage him at all, and if he asks you for an engagement, simply say that all of your time is filled up, and it will* be impossible for you to have him call. Be kind, but at the same time, firm, you can do this without hurting his feel ings. Treat the young man who acts indifferently toward you the same way he treats you. That is the best remejly. If the girl has a habit of saying spite ful things about you which are not true, ignore her, do not let her see she is hurting you. Con duct yourself so that other peo ple will know that what she says is false, and if you do this everything will be all right. Here comes a lonely girl to you for advice. I’m nineteen years old and have finished schdol. I am going with two boys. One I care for very much. I’m quite sure I can never love an other boy as I do him, but he doesn’t care for me, but treats me nice. This other boy loves me I'm sure, but I don’t care for him. He has a big car and shows me a good time, but he has told me he would never come to see me again if I ever let the boy I love have another date. But lie hasn’t even asked me to marry him. Please tell me if I must drop the one I love for him? Do you think the one I love would ever learn to care for me if I dropffed this other boy? Please advise me at once. Sincerely yours, ' L. W. You might try to win the one you love after awhile if you set about it right. Find out what he likes most in a girl, find out the things he cares most for and try to become congenial by let ting him see you are really in terested in his hobbies or sports. Let him see you understand him. Unconsciously he will turn to you as the flowers to the sun. I know of many cases like that. Do not be the thihg he dislikes. And as for the other boy, I would not punish myself by giving up the man I love just to please the one who loves you. He hasn’t the right to dictate to you about your other callers. And just tell him so. Men as a rule are selfish, and they want a girl to them selves, even if. they are not in love with her. Time enough when , you are engaged, and expect to marry I am coming to you for advice. I am a girl of seventeen and weigh 110 pounds. I have been going with a boy about three months, whom I have known all my life. He was going with my chum until they broke up and he has been going with me since. I didn’t like him at first and he proposed and I declined him. In a week he wanted to go with me again and I let him come. He de clared he loved me and could never nor had never loved any one else. I learned to love him and told him I loved him. Then he happened to meet this chum of mine again and tried to go with her. I think she encouraged him. He broke a date with me for her and hasn’t noticed me since. I wrote him a note and told him how I felt about and him, and I never expected to love him again. And as I board with his sister who lives in the sarrie yard that he does, I see him every day. I left the note in his room and he answered it, saying he was sorry he had done wrongff but he was off with other boys and they caused him to be with this girl. He asked me to please take him back and he’d never do -anything to cause me to mistrust him. He saw me and talk ed to me awhile and I told him he equid come back, for he seemed so much in earnest. I know lam young and shouldn’t think of things like this, but I know I love him and I can’t bear to see him do like he is doing.

Please answer in The Journal at once. HAZEL. Hazel: I do not think the young man cares as much for you as he pretends. You have let him see that yonj cared for x.. him. In my opinion he is string ing , you and your girl friend both, If I were you I would not let him see how very much I cared. Try to get a grip on yourself and find something to employ your mind besides this boy, and perhaps when he sees that you are a little more in different to him. he will think more of you. It seems to me that love thrives best on indif ference, that is we are always loving the one who • cares the least for tis. Men seem to pre fer pursuing than being pursued. I am not coming to you for ad vice about boys for I do not care anything about them. I am eight een years old, have red hair and light complexion. What colors' would suit me best? Can you give me the ad dress of a good place in Atlanta where I can send a coat suit and have it dyed and relined? Would ap preciate it very much. “RED BIRD.” Red haired girls cannot wear loud colors, like their blond or brunette sisters. Soft shades like pale green, cream, violet, tans, all shades of brown, dark green, midnight blue, and black, and white is always good. Do not mix too many colors together to wear at one time. One color is more pleasing to the eye and bet ter taste. Atlanta has several very good etablishments for dying clothes. The French Dry Cleaners, 168 Pechtree Street; Capital City Laundry, Troy Laun dry, and others. It is a matter of choice. I do not think any of them reline any garments. I am coming to you for a little ad vice.

Please let me know in the next Jour nal. Will thank you so much; “ROSY LIPS.” Cocoa butter and olive oil are both good as a tissue- builder, if you massage faithfully each , night before you retire. Use a rotary motion, after bathing the face in warm water to open up the pores and remove the dust. The best way to round out hollow cheeks and neck, drink plenty of milk and eat fattening foods. Rest will help you considerably te fatten up if you can get. it. The cocoa butter is about as good as any thing I know of.
