Plant Disease Control in Gardens
I At this season of the year a large
I number of letters are received ask
ing for remedies to be used against
! diseases which destroy garden crops,
i Most of these troubles are caused by
; fungi which are a low form of plant
i life and live as parasites on other
I crops. Then of cour.se, there are bac
terial diseases which affect plants
such as the wilt disease. In this
case, th ecirculation of water is stop
ped and the plants are, as it were,
choked to death. Then there is a
third class of disease which destroy
I garden crops. These are of a physi
: ological character and generally arise
from the improper management of
garden soils. Most of these plant
diseases are not difficult to recognize,
and, when their nature and character
. are known, a gfeat deal can be done
toward combating their spread or
I eradicating them altogether. This
; question is of such great importance
! at this time that a summary has been
’ prepared of the disease affecting gar-
I den crops. Our readers shoudl ex
> amine this record carefully. It con
! stitutes the best data available on
this subject. The facts presented
i bear the indorsement of the experts
: of the Georgia State College of Agrl
• culture.
I Club Root Cabbage. This is widely
known, very destructive, and easily
recognized. It is an enlargement of
I the main or lateral roots. The affect
led parts, as a general rule, break
I down, thus the cause of the trouble
is liberated into the soil, As this
! trouble can be noted on the seedlings
i before setting out, it is well to look
i closely to all plants, destroying
I those that are infected. It is a soil
condition, and, therefore, an infected
I field should not be planted succes
i sively to cabbage. It is said that 75
to 90 bushels of air slaked lime per
acre, applied some weeks before
planting, will give benficial results.
This disease affects cabbage, cauli
flower, turnips, rutabagas, collards,
radish, and most other plants of the
mustard family.
Potato Blight. This fungus ap
pears on any part of the leaf, but the
spots usually show first near the tip
or margin. It progreses more rapid
ly during rainy weather and may be
curtailed in growth during the
drouth. Under especially humid con
ditions a white down may be seen
upon the newly infested parts. The
spores of this disease are washed off
by the rains and go into the ground
where they affect the tubers, some
of them decaying before they are dug,
others while in storage.
Repeated spraying with Bordeaux
mixture will to a great extent con
trol this disease.
Potato Scab. This is a disease par
ticularly of the tuber. It lirst ap
j pears as small, reddish or brownish
I spot upon the surface. It extends
I outward and deepens in color and is
1 dented with a development of an ir
: regular scabby, corky tissue. A great
i los comes in the depreciation in the
I sale value of the crop. This trouble
iis more prevalent in alkali soils. It
: is found more or less in the soil, and
| and once land becomes infested with
it, potatoes should not be grown
thereon. It may also attack beet 4
turnips and cabbage, and, therefore,
one should be careful in choosing the
rotation. To be sure that it is not on
the seeds at the time of planting,
j the potatoes should be treated with
formalin, that is, they should be soak
td for two to three hours in a solu
tion of formalin composed of one pint
of strong formalin to forty gallons
of water, then taken out and thor
oughly dried before being out for
seed.
Onion Smut —This, is another soil
fungus, and is, therefore, hard to
control. It attacks the very young
seedlings through their delicate leaf
sheaths. If an onion can pass this
stage without becoming infected it
is all right. Therefore, onions grown
from sets are immune and it is only
I those grown from seeds that suffer.
: Another method of overcoming th*?;
I trouble is to sprout and grow the
seeds in uninfected beds and then
set the little onions in the field.
Where soil is known to be infected
a formalin solution composed of one
pint of formalin to 25 to 30 gallons
of water can be applied to the soil
at the rate of 500 to 700 gallons per
acre. Stone lime applied ay the rate
of 75 to 125 bushels pet - acre on
freshly prepared soil just before
seeding has also been found useful.
Corn Smut —This common affection
of our corn fields needs but little de
scription. It may enter the plant
through practically ariV yoi-ig grow-
| ing portion. If the manure used or.
i the crop was itself infected the corn
plant may become contaminated soon
after germination. The smut will
sometimes enter the young, succulent
' and rapidly growing parts of the
plant even after it has obtained
some size. No remedy can be given
except to remove and burn all af
fected plants and avoid" the use of
infected seed and infected compost.
This disease may be very serious
on sweet corn.
Mildews—Often one notices a light,
whitisl| or downy growth over the
leaves of various garden plants. As
a general thing these are fungi be
longing to a great group known as
mildews. They can be easily con
trolled by dusting with sulphur or
by the application of a fungicide like
Bordeaux mixture.
Damping-off—Every gardener has
noticed plants that seem to have
wilted just at the ground and fallen
over. Especially is this seen when
the little seedings are too thick in
the row. We also see it in hot beds
where the surface of the soil has
j been kept too wet and ventilation
j has been neglected. It Is an imper
fect form of a fungus and control
lies rather in the prevention than in
cure. Where it appears in a field
amongst thick seedlings they should
be immediately thinned out. In the
hot beds allow the surface of the soil
to dry out and look well after cen
tilation. Sometimes a light spraying
of the soil of the hot bed with am
monical copper carbonate will checK
the growth of this trouble. ,
Watermelon Wilt —This fungus not
only destroys the growing crop, but
prevents the planting of watermelons
on the land for several years follow
ing. The leaves first droop as if the
water supply was insufficient, then
wilt and die, the runner dying with
the leaves. If the plant is cut at
the surface of the ground one will
notice a yellow color in the wood,
which is quite distinct from the
color of healthy plants. Rotation of
cops is the main method of con
trolling this trouble. When the vine
becomes once infected nothing can be
done to save it and it should be
burned. Be sure that any stable ma
nure applied to the melon field is
not also infected, as old rotting vines
and materials thrown on the manure
pile will contaminate it.
Blossom End Rot of Tomatoes —In
the past several years this disease
has become x more and more prevalent
throughout the state and more seri
ous in its depredations. The blos
som end of the tomato will begin
to look as if it had been bruised.
This appearance continues until final
ly the whole fruit is soft rotten, and
if touched the skin will break and
a very unpleasant odor be given off.
No methods of control have been
found for this trouble. It is a com
mon plan to remove the rotting fruit
as soon as they are observed. Some
years this disease does not appear
to any great extent. In other seasons
it very nearly ruins the whole crop.
Recent investigations place this dis
ease among the physiological trou
bles.
Bean Anthracnose. (Sometimes
called pod spot.) This fungus ap
pears as dark colored spots and
sunken areas on stems and pods as
well as leaves. Those on the pods,
however, are much more noticeable
than on other parts of the plant. Va
rieties of the wax bean seem to be
more susceptible than the others,
while the lima beans appear to be
resistant; The fungus is carried
largely through the agency of dis
eased seed. Clean culture and remov
ing from the field all diseased stems
and stalks and the use of good seed
are the methods by which this trou
ble can be controlled to some ex
tent.
Wilt of tomato. This is a bacte
rial disease and widely spread in
the south. Either one leaf, a whole
stem or the whole plant will wilt
down. Growth stops and the plant
dies. The stem turns dingy green,
then brown and soon shriv
els. Where diseased plants have
grown one year the infection seems
to get into the soil and will attack
tomato plants set in the same place
next season. The trouble seems to
be spread through the agency of in
sects. Therefore, place a check on
insects in the garden and rotate
crops. This same disease is sup
posed to attack other plants of this
family, such as the egg-plant, pepper
and Irish potato.
Black Rot of Cabbage. This be
longs to the bacterial class of dis
eases and first appears upon the
leaves as a blackening of the veins.
The affected portion rapidly in
creases in size. The discoloration
extends downward through the veins
to the stalk. Soon the stem is in
fected and finally the whole plant.
The general infection of the plant al
ways causes death. Sometimes other
rots may set in and hasten the death
of the plant. The disease will con
tinue to develop in storage. The bac
teria that cause the trouble are us
ually found in the soil. It is sup
posed that they may also be trans
mitted through the agency of seeds
or manure. The disease may be car
ried from field to field upon tools
used for cultivation or upon the feet
of laborers. As yet no method of
control has been found except the
taking up and destroying of the dis
eased plants as soon as the trouble
is noticed.
There are many other diseases in
the garden besides those above men
tioned, but these discussed are the
most common.
Nematode Worms. The little nem
atode worm, neither an insect nor a
disease, inhabits many of our soils
tn the south. These little pests,
when once they gain foothold in a
field, are almost impossible of exter
mination. They attack a great many
of our vegetables as well as fruit
trees and other plants. When soil
becomes infected the best thing to
do is to rotate it with a crop that
they do not attack, making little
knots on them. As a rule they do
not kill plants, but seriously retard
growth. Where land is high in fer
tility and cultivation good, a plant
may overcome this trouble and pro
duce .profitably.
Bean, beet, blackberry, cabbage,
cowpea, eggplant, fig, gourd, melon,
morning glory, okra, parsnip, pea.
pear, peach, plum, potato, radish,
rose, spinach, sunflower, squash and
tomato are some of the plants known
to be attacked by the nematode.
These plants should not be put on
-infected ground and they should not
follow each other in the general ro
tation.
MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I am coming to you for advice. I
am going with a nice young man,
aged twenty, and I love him dearly.
He lives about eight miles from me.
1-low often should he come to see me,
and should he stay till after night?
I have been going with another boy,
aged seventeen, but my parents,
don’t want me to go with him. He
has tried to come back several times
since I kicked him. Would you let
him come back and which one would
you advise me to go with the older
boy or the young boy. When a boy
takes me to church how late should
I stay and should I come back when
the rest does? Would it be any harm
to kiss a boy if he loves you and you
love him? When I go to a play should
I play with the old widows or just the
young men? Do you think a girl
aged fourteen is old enough to go
with the boys for pastime? Would
you let your hair hang down your
back or fix it up?
Thanking you for your advice.
MATTIE C.
Mattie C.: Once or twice a
week is often enough for you to
have company. You are too
young to spend any more time
with or in the society of men.
You should have something in
your mind besides boys. Your
parents are the best judges as
to how long the young man
should remain in your home
when calling. And if they ob
ject to the boy seventeen, evi
dently they have a very good
reason, and you would do well
to listen to them. l"t is proper
for you to return from church
with*the others. Kissing is harm
ful because if indulged often it
will destroy a girl’s self-respect
and it Is not right to let boys
take liberties with you. I do not
quite understand what you mean
by playing with old widowers,
but if there is a frolic going on
and games are played you should
remain in company with the oth
ers and not leave them and go
off with a boy or man to your
selveb. That is not polite, and
it is better for you to remain
with young people. Fourteen is
very young, and I really do not
approve of a girl that young go
ing with young men. She isn’t
old enough to have any sense or
judgment, and is silly enough to
believe everything a man tells
her.
I am a lonely girl of sixteen com
ing to you for advice. I went to
a hospital for an operation and there
was a young doctor there that al
ways treated me nice and seemed to
care for me and I am sure I love
him better than he does me, but he
writes to me some times I don’t
guess I will ever see him any more.
How can I get him to care for me as
I will never be happy without him
as I love him better than any man
I ever saw. How long should I wear
my dresses? Do I write a good hand
to see but out of one eye. I have
black hair, broivn eyes, fair com
plexion, five feet tall, weigh 110
pounds. Do I weigh enough for my
height?
Thank you,
ANNIE M.
I do not know .what to tell you
to do to make this doctor you
are in love with care for you.
If he does not of his own ac
cord there is nothing to be
done. It never was intended for
us all to think alike. And you
will have to work out your prob
lem the best way you can with
out my help. Faith is a great
thing perhaps if you believe he
will, and try to make yourself
attractive in his sight (if you
ever see him again). He may
learn to love you, who knows?
Your hand writing is very good.
You weigh about enough for
your height.
The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
THE PATRIOT—AT HIS BEST
It is well understood that Ameri
cans can be relied upon to defend
their country—in time of invasion
from outsiders—but the citizen who
stands firm in a time of bad laws
and unfaithful public servants —is
the one that the country needs—to
keep the ship of state on an even
keel when the storm is beating hard
and the rocks are in plain view.
I have not patience with a man
who then goes into a dust hole and
pulls the hole in with him. Only
the other day I heard a full-grown
man with a full-grown son listening
to the conversation, use the follow
ing words: “I have made up my mind
not to vote any more. The bad men
of this country have got in posses
sion and I am determined to let the
voting proposition go by because it
is rotten and unjust.”
I could not resist the temptation to
say: “You are shirking your own
duty and I am more than sorry to
have you tell me you have been com
pletely whipped by bad men and
rotten politicians.’’
I could have said further (but I did
not): "Such as you are should be
disfranchised, because you have the
remedy at hand and are too lazy or
too cowardly, or too indifferent to
vote against the people who are de
stroying your liberties and mine.”
Nobody is forced to vote in this
country, either men or women, but
there should be a law that would
require the qualified voters to give
a reason or an excuse when such a
shirker or slacker is allowed to pro
test against evil-doers and prefers
not to stand up In his place and
refuses to be counted.
What Does a Vote Stand I*or?
In the abounding mercy of Al
mighty God this country—these
United States —have been allowed to
show to the world that freedom is a
blessing td all the people. The only
way we can select a ruler is by go
ing to the ballot box on a stated oc
casion and vote for qualified per
sons to represent our interests when
laws are made, to tax us for public
uses, and to defend us, when our
lives and property are in danger. *
It was presumed by our forefath
ers that ive were obliged to employ
such representatives in state and na
tional legislation. It was assumed
likewise that every voter would be
careful in such careful in such selec
tion. Therefore, there were no penal
ties set forth to prosecute and pun
ish the slackers or the shirkers in
this voting business.
Just for a moment analyze the de
cision of the man I here have noticed,
who cooly informed me, "I have voted
my last time. I am sick of the peo
ple who are elected. I retire and
quit.”
The law’s of the land are thus
turned over to the self-seeker and
the corrupt representatives who have
obtained a clear path to the destruc
tion of free govrenment by the slack
ers and shirkers among us.
Our republican form of government
is the wonder of the down-trodden
peoples of Europe and Asia. It is
the only republic that has survived
so long in the history of the world.
It relieves us of czars, kings, em
perors and crowned tyrants on a
throne. It is a great wonder-work
ing institution, where a poor boy can
rise to the presidency if he has the
qualities of a wise leader in his
make-up.
Oh, the pity of it, when welUedu
cated, well-situated and intelligent
voters can stand up and say: I m
done with voting. I will never vote
again so long as I live.” What a
tragedy. What a wealklng he is by
his own confession.
With the medicine in his hand to
cure his ailment he throws it away,
and shows himself to be unworthy of
the privilege of being a free man in
his own country! .
We need a revival of public interest
in this country of ours. We need
preachers who can discuss the bene
fits of civic righteousness. Again I
say, such people should be disfran
chised for failing to do their duty
as citizens.
By 0. B. Joyful
June is noted for other things than
June brides and June-bugs. It is the
only month that brings no legal hol
idays. Hence the bank clerks don’t
think much of the month of June.
Some people err in believing June
was named after Junius. The fact
Here comes a girl of nineteen years
to you for advice. Have come once
before, but failed to get my letter
printed. I have been going with a
boy for quite a while, and some
times I think he loves me, and then
he very often pouts with me, but it
doesn’t last him very long. Although
we are engaged to get married on the
4th of July, we have been engaged
to marry before and he put me off;
said he wasn’t properly situated. But
if he evei' puts me off again I don’t
expect to ever marry him. And so
if he wants to put me off again,
what should I tell him? I know I
love him better than any body on
earth, and I don’t feel like I can
live without him. And he has given
me an engagement ring. If he should
want to put me off again, what should
I do and say? Tanking you for
your advice. DELIA.
Delia: Did you ever stop to re
alize whether you are a little
bit unreasonable or not? Perhaps
the young man is a bit up against
it to support you. He realizes
more than you how much it will
take to support himself and
wife, naturally he doesn’t want
to place either you or himself
in a bad position, so that may be
the reason he asked you to wait
a while longer. Try to look at
the situation from every point be
fdre you act and accuse him
hastily. At least give him a fair
chance. But, on the other hand,
if you have good reason to be
lieve he doesn’t seem to care as
much for you as you think he
should, it is much better to re
lease him from his agreement
to marry you. Surely you
■wouldn't want to marry a man
who cares nothing for you. You
will only bring sorrow and
trouble upon yourself if you do.
Maybe you are inclined to be
bossy and exacting in your man
ner. Find out your trouble first,
and set to work to correct it,
then see what the trouble is with
him.
Here comes a lonely girl for ad
vice. I am sixteen years old. Am I
old enough to go with the boys? Is
there any harm to go with a man
who has been married and left his
wife and divorced? Is it right to go
with two boys at once? Thank you
for advice. Hoping to see this in
print.
A HONEYS UCKDE.
There is no real harm in going
with a divorced man, it depends
mostly on what sort of a man
he is. If you wish to go with
two boys at once there is no
harm in it. That is if you are
not deceiving both of them.
Play fair.
Here comes a troubled boy to you
for advice. I am 22 years old, have
brown eyes, dark hair, fair com
plexion and weigh 150 and am 5 feet
and 6 inches high. Am in love with
my first cousin. I have lots of girl
friends, but love my cousin best.
Would you advise me to marry her?
She says that she never can be hap
py without me and I know I will
never be happy without her. Thank
ing you for your advice. Answer
through The Journal. From wor
ried Tommy.
I do not believe in first cou
sins marrying, however, as the
boy once said, "It is none of my
funeral,” so if you cannot live
without her, and she cannot live
without you, then I suppose the
only thing to do is for you and
she to hnd I hope "live
happy ever after.” I trust you
will hot regret your step. I have
heard of cousins marrying and
living very happy together. May
it be the same way ih your case.

Girls’ Slip
Under fluffy summer dresses, lit
tle girls always need slips on the
order of No. 8142. This one in par
ticular is simple to make and can
be ornamented with hand embroid
ery. It buttons on each shoulder.
The girl’s slip, No. 8142, is cut in
sizes 1,2, 4,6, 8. 10, 12 and 14 years.
Size 8 requires one and three-quarter
yards, thirty-six-inch material.
Limited space prevents showing
all the new styles. We will send

azine containing all the good new
styles, dressmaking helps, serial
story, etc., for five cents, postage
prepaid, or three cents if ordered with
a pattern. Send fifteen cents for

Birds Best Insect Slayers
Os all the ways of ridding our
gardens, parks and farms of the in
sect pests that destroy fruit, grain,
and even trees, none is so effective
as the encouragement of birds. Most
birds are naturally insect eaters, and
it is really amazing to count the
number of beetles, bugs, caterpillars
and grubs that a small bird will de
vour in a day.
Andre Godard, a French natural
ist, remarks in a recent number of
La Nature (Paris), that agricultural
plagues invariably follow the disap
pearance of birds, and he notes that
the forests of Hungary were saved
by the placing of many artificial
nests to attract the feathered ene
mies of -the grubs that were de
stroying the trees.
It is true that a few birds eat fruit
and grain, but even these prefer in
sects, and it is probably true in
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
that the bird which seems to be ear
ing tli£ fruit is really pecking at an
insect inside it.
is that it came by the name so’s it
could rhyme with honeymoon. Ask
any hr fife.
June-bugs, by the way, are noth
ing but grownup fish worms of May.
AUNT JULIA’S
LETTER BQX
Dear Children:
In the last letters I opened I found a personal letter from one
of the Mothers asking me to use my influence against some of the
present styles. In one paragraph she said: "The outrageous puffs
at the sides of the girls’ heads and the affected pout which their
dear young faces wear are changing them from the most lovable
young things on earth to something repulsive. Can’t you, Aunt
Julia, talk to them about the way they look and dress.”
You know, of ocurse, I can’t let an appeal like that go by, for
I, too, think you are the most lovable young things on earth, and I
want everybody else to think so. Nothing makes a boy or girl more
popular than modesty, cheerfulness and good manners. DON’T,
PLEASE, just because someone, probably in a joke, started the stylo/
of girls deforming their heads with huge puffs at the side, think they
make for style or beauty. They would ruin the looks of the most
perfect face in the world. DON’T, PLEASE, wear your clothes too
thin or too low, there is nothing attractive about that method o f
dress, and please believe me, girls, no boy will like or respect you
if you do. You can have a lot of style, be as up-to-date as you please
and yet dress with DECENCY. Now, as to that pouting busin’ess,
you know a pleasant face carries you much further than a scowl.
Be as earnest as you please, but be PLEASANT.
Now, I don’t believe many of my girls do the things I’ve talked
about, but I just want to sound a warning and hope you will excuse
the lecture. Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Wonder
what you all are doing these cold days.
You cousins are going to school I guess.
I am not going now, our school has closed
on account of the influenza. Sure will be
glad when it starts again. Where did you
cousins go Sunday? I spent the day with
my friend, Louise Elmore, and we were
reading in Aunt Julia’s letter box, and I de
cided to write to her. Well, I guess you
all are wondering how I look, so I will tell
you. I am five feet tall, weigh 95 pounds,
light hair, blue eyes, fair complexion, age
between 14 and 18. I will leave this for
you all to guess. If any of you all care
to correspond with a North Carolina girl, let
your cards and letters fly. I beg to remain,
yours respectfully,
MABEL FREEMAN.
