B THE ATLANTA TRI WEEKLY JOURNAL. Eddcatkw AN>D SUCCESSFULFARMIKG 1 E>y Andrew H 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.

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.
