C.—The season j is at hand when the cotton farmer ! will watch his profits falling to the j ground in punctured “squares," the work of the boll weevil. Fortuntely, however, the farmer is less helpless than he used to be. It is possible to control the boll weevil, the United States department of agriculture has ■ found after long experimentation, by dusting the plants with calcium arse- I nate. An adequate supply of the i chemical is obtainable this year, and | considerable dusting machinery is | available, though not sufficient to i meet the needs. It should be borne in mind, the specialists say, that in poisoning for boll weevil control, extermination is not secured and should not be at tempted. The result aimed at is a sufficient reduction of the weevil in festation to permit maturing a full crop of cotton. About 60 per cent of the squares fall before reaching ma turity even in the absence of weevils. The present system of weevil poison ing is expected to ’keep the weevils controlled to such an extent that they will no more than offset the normal shedding—will puncture only about as many squares as would have fallen in any event. This means, usually, that the weevils are permitted to mul tiply unmolested until they become sufficiently numerous to puncture more forms than would shed normal ly. Poisoning is then started and continued until the plants have had time to develop as many bolls as they will be able to mature. Poisoning is then stopped and the weevils are allowed to resume multiplication. Remarkably large increases in yield frequently result from a compara tively slight degree of control for a short time. The effect is cumulative, however, and can only be secured by starting the applications at the right time and repeating them at the correct intervals. The specialists urge planters to conduct the opera tion thoroughly or not to attempt it at all. Have Polson Tested The right kind of poison is dry powdered calcium arsenate contain ing not less than 40 per cent arsenic pentoxid and having a density of not less than 80 and not more than 100 cubic inches to the pound. To be sure that It is right, samples should be sent to the department’s Delta laboratory, at Tallaluh, La. An im mediate report will be furnished shewing whether or not the material is satisfactory for cotton dusting. It is of the greatest importance to be sure that the material is right. If it contains too little arsenic, it will not kill the .weevils. If it contains too much water soluble arsenic, it will kill or injure the plants. Mixtures of all kinds are condemned. Calcium arsenate may be kept as long as four years if it is stored in a dry place. There is always the possibility of poisoning both men and horses work ing in calcium arsenate dust. Though no serious injury has ever been re ported, the specialists urge the tak ing of all reasonable precautions. Personal cleanliness is the most im portant. Operators should be re quired to bathe as soon as they have completed the dusting work, and under no circumstances should they be permitted to eat or drink without washing their hands and faces with soap and water. Horses and mules used to pull the dusting machines should be muzzled to prevent the possibility of poisoning by eating grass and weeds along the rows. Generally speaking, at least five pounds of calcium arsenate per acre should be used. The best time to dust is when the humidity is high, the air calm and the plants moist with dew. It is necessary that every portion of the cotton plant be covered by the fine particles of poison dust, and this cannot be done when the wind is high or the plants dry. It is usual ly necessary, therefore, to do nearly all of the dusting work at night, early in the morning or late in the evening. Three Applications Usually Sufficient The first application should be made when the weevil injury reaches 10 to 15 per cent of the bolls, and the effort should be to hold it below 25 per cent. The poison reaches and kills only the adult weevils and has no effect whatever on the immature stages developing in the bolls and squares. Three applications are usu ally sufficient to effect the desired measure of control. They should be about four days apart. Poisoning should not be attempted except un der conditions that will justify a sufficient machinery outlay to go over all the cotton poisoned at about four day intervals. It is advisable to re peat an application immediately if a drenching rain falls within twenty four hours after treatment. It is sometimes advisable to poison heavily infested portions of the field earlier in the spring. The heaviest in festation is usually near timber or other hibernation quarters, and early poisoning of a few acres may greatly reduce the infestation of the entire field and delay considerably the ne cessity for general poisoning. Weevil poisoning, the specialists say, is a plantation and not an in dividual field proposition. It is un safe to expect each tenant to poison his crop. Much better results are ob tained if the plantation management undertakes all poisoning operations. Three types of satisfactory dust ing machines have been developed— the hand gun, the wheel traction ma chine and the engine-power machine. A hand gun should not be expected to cover more than fifteen acres of cotton, and it is safer to figure on one gun for every two acres. Even on this basis, hand guns should not be relied upon when there is a con siderable acreage of cotton. The hand gun Is of great value for early season’ work on spots of high infesta tion and for use in conjunction with power machinery for treating spots that cannot be reached ith the pow er machine. The med.um or large planter, therefore, needs a few hand guns to supplement his power ma chinery. Cart Duster Covers 75 Acres A wheel-traction or cart duster can be made to take care of about seventy-five acres. Its operation re quires the work of a man and two mules. It is simpler in construction and easier to handle than the engine power machines. This type was de veloped by the department of agricul ture to meet the need for a machine between the hand gun and the engine power duster. ' An engine-power duster, theoretic ally, will take care of about 160 to 200 acres of cotton, but it is cumber some and difficult to handle success fully. A machine requires two or more mules and two men. i The department specialists are working now toward the development of a duster that can be attached to a saddle and operated from mule back, or a single wheel duster to be run between the rows and drawn by one mule. As most of the dusting is done at night, artificial light is necessary. The only lighting system that has given satisfaction is a special model of acetylene light using a compressed carbide cake for fuel. It is com pactly constructed and the cart is comparatively low. The cost of poisoning operations for the season may be expected to run from $7 to $lO an acre. Gains in seed cotton as the result of poison ing properly done will run from 200 to 1,000 pounds. The first question to be decided by anyone contemplating poisoning, the specialists say, is whether or not his conditions are such as to enable the operation to be profitable. The soil is sometimes so poor that, even if a complete normal yield were se cured, the crop would not pay the cost of poisoning. Regardless of conditions, it is ordinarily best , for a farmer to undertake poisoning at first only a portion of his cotton, se lecting the most fertile soil which is subject to the heaviest weevil in jury. A very accurate check plat should be conducted. Without this, the matter of gain or loss is likely to be problematical. Several fairly uni form cuts should be selected, subject to about the average degree of wee vil infestation, and only one-half of each cut treated. A little experience of this kind will soon make clear the conditions under which the grower can or can not poison profitably. Smut Fan Saves Money, Declares Mr. E. J. Doneen From an insurance rate amount ing to SBO per thousand to nothing is quite a drop, but Mr. E. J. Doneen, president of the Whitman County Farmers’ Union, of Oaksdale, Wash., asserts that the smut-collecting fan devised by the experts of the United States department of agriculture has done that for him. Moreover, his wheat, thrashed from very smutty grain, j, sold at a discount of only 1 per cent. Addressing a farmers’ meeting at Walla Walla. Wash., Mr. Doneen told his audience: “I started thrash ing on the worst place on my farm, where the grain contained from 17 to 20 per cent smut heads, and by using the smut fan ran the smut oui through a pipe 10 inches in diameter. At first the smut was simply scattered over the field, but later we pust the end of the pipe under the stack, thus preventing the spread of the smut spores. “We ran the machine for thirty one days and had no fires or explo sions, although there - were sixteen explosions in the district last year, r sold the wheat at only 1 per cent discount, whereas without the smut fan I would have been docked at least 10 cents a bushel."

The shortage of labor on the farms makes it necessary for the canneries to pay high prices for the commodities that will be canned later in the season. Labor in the canning factories is expensive and difficult to obtain. Everything, from cans to cartage costs, has increased in price, and transportation is slow and more expensive than it was in war times. All this increase must be paid by the ultimate consumer; and there is not even assurance that there will be enough canned products to go around. The solution is home canning. That sugar is higher in price than it has been hitherto is advanced by some as a reason for canning either less fruit or nothing but vege tables - but unless one intends to give up sweets altogether there seems no good reason for not using canned fruit on account of high- The Wrong Way; the Right Way; Operate Along Business Lines To secure the greatest results, co operative marketing enterprises must be organized and operated along sound business lines, say experts of the bureau of markets, United States department of .agriculture, who cite two instances to prove their point. A sweet potato co-operative mar keting association was formed in a New Mexico county that boasted sev en sweet potato warehouses. Six of these warehouses w - ere ignored in or ganizing the association. The owner of the seventh warehouse was per mitted to hold 51 per cent of the stock. With such a monopoly, this gentleman was able to control the business of the association, with the result that all the sweet potatoes were stored in his warehouse, and the other warehousemen faced the threat of being driven out of busi ness. However, the seventh ware house owner was finally made to see the error of his ways, and through the assistance of the field marketing agent of the United States depart ment of agriculture the association has been reorganized upon a truly co-operative basis.

Alabama Dairyman Believes in Cow Testing AUBURN, Ala., July B. (Spe cial). —Reports for the month of Apr! coming to the dairy department of the Alabama extension service, indi cate that 920 cows, representing thiry-six herds in Alabama, were un der official test during that month. The bulk of these cows are listed in the Canebrake Test association, with headquarters at Demopolis, and the Dallas County Test association, with headquarters at Selma, the bal ance of the cowds being listed in the Auburn herd. In the Canebrake association dur ing that month there were 461 cows, representing seventeen herds, and three cofs had records for the pro duction of more than 1,000 pounds of milk, according to J. W. Bolender, test supervisor. In the Dallas Coun ty Test association there were 399 cows, also representing seventeen herds, under test. Highest honors in this test went to a Holstein cow, “Mokenna Valeria Korndyke Segis,” whose name is not her only mark of distinction. Her butter-fat produc tion for the month was 69.8 pounds, and she is owned by P. S. Hain, re cently elected president of the Ala bama Dairymen’s association. Women Cull Poultry Slackers and Save In Missouri last year, 73,765 birds were eliminated from 1,593 flocks which were culled under the supervi sion of the home demonstration agents sent out by the United States department of agriculture and the state agricultural college. This re sulted in a saving of approximately $50,161 to their owners. In another state, 486 local leaders were trained, with the result that 717,478 birds were culled. Os this number, 274,399 were found to be non-productive. About 81 per cent of all the poul try in the country is cared for by women. For that reason special at tention is given to poultry by the home clubs supervised by the de partment of agriculture and the state colleges, and farm women are taught best methods of poultry se lection, breeding, raising, feeding’, housing, culling, canning surplus birds for home use, preservation of eggs and co-operative selling of poultry products. Lack of proper culling thus far has proved to be, in the majority of cases, the principal reason why a flock is not profitable. Forty per cent of the hens in the average farm flack today are non-productive, and should be sold or eaten. It costs about $2 a year to feed each hen. If she does not produce more than that amount in eggs she is unpro fitable. priced sugar. There are few des serts that do not take from one-half to one cup of sugar, and no dessert is more healthful than fruit. It is not necessary to use such thick syrup as was used in the days of plenty. A 10 per cent syrup made of one part sugar and nine parts water will make palatable any of the acid fruits. Such fruits as apples, pineapples, and the like can be canned without sugar. In fact, ordinary glucose or corn syrup may be substituted . for sugar in making the syrup. A palata ble syrup is made by mixing one half cup sugar, one cup glucose, and eight cups of water. It requires about seven ounces of sugar for a pint jar. One cup of sugar will make ten cups of syrup. A pound of sugar will make twenty cups. This last amount will be suf ficient for twenty pints of canned fruit. Where the 10 per cent syrup is used the cost of the sugar to can a pint jar is 1 1-2 cents with sugar at. thirty cents a pound. It is not so expensive after all. In the adjoining county were two men who had made a considerable fortune in sweet potatoes, largely through their ability to store their potatoes in their own warehouses. The other sweet potato growers were able barely to eke out a small profit, because they were compelled to sell their produce immediately. The two warehousemen finally were prevailed upon to interest themselves in the formation of a co-operative associa tion. The association was, thereby enabled to’ negotiate a loan from the bank for the construction of a ware house to take care of the pooled pro duce. This was such an encourage ment to the farmers that it was soon necessary to construct another build ing because of a considerable in crease in crops. The two leading sweet potato men in this association do not hold a ma jority of the stock. The organiza tion is a co-operative one in the full meaning of the word, Each member is on an equal footing with every other member. MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME I am another lonely girl of four teen coming to you for advice. I have been corresponding with a boy of sixteen, off and on for a year. I got mad with him once on account of him writing to another girl and I wrote to him and blessed him out, and he did not write to me any more, but a few days after that I was very sorry of the way I had treated him because he is such a Dice boy and is very timid, so I wrote him a real sweet letter. Then we made up and again we busted up for some cause like that and I was the cause of it, so I did the same way again. Do you think I did right? We are corresponding now as if we had never busted up and I love him very dearly and he seems to be very fond of me. He is about the only boy I care for. There is another boy that wants to go with me and I do not want to go with him. So will you please give me your advice as to getting rid of him with out hurting his feelings. Is there any harm in sitting out in the swing about eleven oclock at night with a boy after getting back from a party? Thanking you for your advice. PEGGY. You show rather a high tem pered disposition, and you ought to curb it now, as it may cause you a great deal of distress and real sorrow later. I do not think you should quarrel at the least provocation with the boy you say you care so much for. How i ever, you are young and your sweetheart of today may be your friend’s sweetheart next year. That seems to be the way i of girls and boys, and no one takes their love affairs very se riously. If you do not care to go with the other boy do not en courage him at all, and you can find some plausible excuse such as having some errand to run or a duty at home to perform or an other engagement. There are countless ways to get out of go ing with some one whom you do not care for, without hurting his feelings. Do not insult him, for he may turn out to be your best friend in later years. I am a girl of nearly seventeen. I have medium brown hair and blue eyes, fair complexion and am about 5 feet 6 inches high and weigh 136 pounds. Do you think I weigh too much for my age and height? There is a girl who has been a very dear friend of mine, but for about a year she hasn’t wanted me to write or have anything at all to do with other girls and if I did write to any others she would be so mad she would not know what to do. Then last spring she said some very hard things about my brother; they were so hard that I could not keep her as a friend any longer, but j she seemed to think I ought to. She doesn’t seem to think anybody else has any feeling at all. Now I she wants, me to go on as if nothing ’ has happened. She hasn’t asked ! me to forgive her or anything and i I don’t know what to dp. It seems : that all my lovefor her. has gone. ! especially since she said those hard i things about my brother. What do you think best to do? Please do not 1 forget to tell me about my weight. Please put this in the next issue. • Many thnaks. BLUE EYES. To learn to forgive is the ' greatest task we humans have. When some one has hurt us, wounded us it seems beyond en durance then come to us and ask forgiveness, shall we turn a deaf ear? No; but forgive them, as we hope to be forgiven by our heavenly father for what we do to him/ You can treat her kind ly, at all times, let her see the greatness that is in youby so doing; but never place confidence in her again. Do not tell her anything, and if she has talked about your brother, or you, the mere fact that you are nice to her will make her grossly asham ed of herself. Heap colds of fire upon her head. She will suffer more than you my child. Your weight is about right. You might reduce to 128 pounds or thirty pounds. You will lose some flesh as you get older. Will you please inform me of a good business college where I can learn to be a stenographer. Would prefer a smaller town than Atlanta, if not too far away. A place where it would not be so expensive. Do you think this would be a nice job? Hoping to see this in next issue. M. L. E. I do not know of any good business college outside of At lanta. In this city there are sev eu 1 ! very fine colleges, and they very reasonable, too. It will p..y you to take a course, because not only will you become inde pendent. but at the same time can command a larger salary than merely filling a clerkship posi tion. Even if it will be some what expensive now, you will be the gainer in the end. Here I come to you for advice. I and a lonely girl of thirty-six years. There are two men going with me, one’s age is forty-one, the other one a widower with three children, age is thirty-five. Which one do you think would suit me best? I love the oldest one best and he seems to love me. I am 5 feet 4 inches high, blue eyes, fair complexion. MARY E. Love the oldest one best and he You are old enough to know your own mind, without any advice from me, but you would be exceedingly foolish to mar ry the man you do not care so much for. if you really love the elder man and he loves you. there is no reason why you should not marry him. Decide the proposition for yourself. AUNT JULIA’S LETTER BOX “Help for the Helpless—Kindness to All Dtimb Things" RULES No unsigned letters printed. No letter written on both sides of paper printed.

Cousins, wouldn’t it be a great idea tor us to mention our ambitions? The things we are specially in terested in? Then others who have the same ideas might wish to correspond with us and exchange helpful suggestions; also inspira tions. Yes, let’s forget “illusions of love” and think of things really worth while. We can't “make love.” ’Tis a readq-made ar ticle. For instance, I’m interested in poultry, White Leghorns. Are there not other cous ins who are also interested and would like to exchange ideas on “how to manage for profit?” I imagine if we boys and girls would discuss “life work” instead of trying to make love, Mary Meredith would have less work to do. Do you all agree? Your cousin, PRIAR HURST. Talbott, Tenn. Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you admit another girl into your happy band of boys and girls? I live in the grand old state of Georgia. I am going to school and am in the seventh grade. Our school will be out in three weeks.

Help Plan Farm Homes Beautifying and improving the farm homes is the newest phase of home demonstration work in the south, yet more than 1,500 farm houses were built in the south last year according to plans advised by the home club agents; 2,736 were re modeled, 2,677 had lighting systems installed, 19,270 had kitchens im proved and made easier to do work in, 26,811 labor-saving devices were made or purchased, and .29,666 front yards were beautified. When exten sion work with the women was started 10 years ago, it aimed first to lighten women’s work and to lift it out of the realm of drudgery and to aid in food problems. As these problems were being solved the questions of clothing, home conven iences, increased poultry and dairy productions, sanitary improvements, food composition, food values, and practical arrangement and furnish ing cf the kitchen were brought up by the women. This led to demands for practical plans for the whole house and for information as to Its best location, drainage, water supply lighting devices, inside arrange ment and decoration. Will How Many Women Are Like This? Can anything be moie wearing for women than the ceaseless round, of household duties? Oh! the monotony of it all work and drudge; no time to be sick; tired, ailing, yet can not stop. There comes a time when something “snaps” and they find themselves “ simply worn out,” and to make matters worse, have contracted serious feminine disorder which almost always follows the constant overtaxing of a woman’s strength. Then they should remember that there is no remedy like I Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound-the expe- I rience of these two women establishes that fact $ Cedar Rapids, la.—“ After the birth of my last child I had such painful spells that would unfit me entirely for my housework. I suf fered for months and the doctor said that my trouble was organic ulcers and I would have to have an opera tion. That was an awful thing to me, with a young baby and four other children, so one day I thought of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and how it had helped me years before and I decided to try it again. I took five bottles of Vege table Compound and used Lydia E. Pinkham’s Sauative Wash and since then I have been a well woman, able to take care of my house and family without any trouble or a day’s pain.

How to Treat • A Torpid Liver 'the liver is the largest and most important organ in the body, and when the liver refuses to act, it causes constipation, biliousness, headaches, indigestion, gas, sour stomach, bad breath, dysentery, diarrhoea, pains in back and under shoulder blades and under ribs on right side. These symptoms lead to colds, influenza or other serious troubles unless cori’ected immediate ly. An inactive liver places an extra burden on the kidneys, which over taxes them and causes the blood to absorb and carry Into the system the impurities that the liver and kidney* have failed to eliminate. When -you treat the liver alone, you treat only a third of your trouble, and that is why you have to take purgatives every few nights. Calomel or other ordinary laxatives do not go far enough. If you would treat your kidneys and blood while treating the liver you would put your entire system in order and fre quent purgatives would then be un necessary. Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many years ago recognized these important facts, and after much study an(l research, compounded what is now known as Dr. Hitchcock’s Live?, Kidney and Blood Powders, three medicines combined in one. This was the Doctor’s favorite prescrip tion for many years, being used by his patients with marked success. It is a harmless vegetable remedy that will not make you sick, aitd you may eat anything you like while taking it. Get a large tin box from your druggist or dealer for 25c, under his personal guarantee that it will relief, tone up the liver, stimulate the kidneys to healthy action and thereby purify the blood.

Rub-My-Tism is a powerflf antiseptic; it kills the poison caused from infected cuts, cures old sores, tetter, etc.— ( Advt.) Sandusky, Ohio.—“ Aftertheblrth of my baby I had organic trouble. My doctor said it was caused by too heavy lifting and I would have to have an operation. I would not consent to an operation and let it go for over a year, having my sister do my work for me as I was not able to walk. One day my aunt came to see me and told me about your medicine —said it cured her of the same thing. I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and used Lydia E. Pinkham’s Sana tive Wash and they have cured me. Now I do my own housework, wash ing and ironing and sewing for my family and also do sewing for other people.
