Andrew M. Jovle
The Relation of Horticulture to Good
Health
The question of human nutrition
constitutes one of our most vital
problems. It has long been recogniz
ed that through proper or improper
nourishment we may change the
character, the function and the serv
iceability of plapts and animals. Dur
ing the war the Germans sent raid
ers out to prey upon the commerce
of the allies. One of these ships—
the Kronprinz Wilhelm, kept the
high seas for a period of nine and a
half months. Because of her high
speed she was never overtaken or
brought to battle. She destroyed a
large number of ships for the Allies,
but was finally forced to take shelter
in an American port because of the
appearance of a peculiar malady
amongst her crew; but for this she
might have kept the high seas for a
much longer period of time as she
was able to secure all the coal, water
and food she needed for her crew 7
from the ships she captured.
In spite of the fact that the crew
w’as abundantly supplied with w’hat
we regard as the most varied, whole
some and desirable dietary, they grad
ually became incapacitated, and when
the vessel made port at Newport
News, one-fourth of her crew was
prostrated and the balance in a very
debilitated condition. The affliction
from which they were suffering baf
fled the skill of the physicians em
ployed to treat the men. Finally, a
dietician suggested that the trouble
was due to acidocis, brought about
by the continued consumption of a
rich, abundant and presumably sat
isfactory diet, although it did not
contain fruits or fresh vegetables
and some other food constituents re
garded as essential to the welfare of
human beings and which they obtain
in larger or sfnaller quantity when
on land. These materials could, of
course, be carried on an ocean-going
vessel but evidently -were not avail
able in the stores of the captured
vessel or were overlooked. As soon
as an abundant .supply of vitamines
and alkalis w'ere provided from fruits
and vegetables an immediate im
provement in the health of the crew
took place, which is proof of the fact
that the trouble arose from a deficien
cy of these elements In a ration that
would ordinarily be presumed to be
cf the most healthful and desirable
character.
It appears, therefore, that a good
many ills from which human beings
suffer are traceable to dietary de
fects. and hence a means of supply
ing rations with plenty of vitamines,
alkaline salts and mineral matter and
fruit acids becomes a matter of the
utmost importance to the human
race. It is only since 1910 that wo
have known much about vitamines,
and unfortunately, we know compar
atively little as yet. There appear to
be three classes of vitamines; the
first known as fat soluble A., and the
second and third, as water soluble B
and C respectively. Vitamines are
most abundantly found In milk and
butter, in green leaves and vege
tables.
It is a noteworthy fact that milk
is not used as abundantly as it
should be in the average home, and
this is particularly true in the case
of young children. There is an im
pression abroad that milk is too cost
ly, and that other forms of food will
supply the nutrients needed in a
cheaper or more desirable form. This
is a mistake. There is more nutri
tion in a quart, of milk than in a
pound of beef steak which may cost
even at present prices twice as much
as a quart of milk. The consumption
of the meat tends to produce an acid
condition of the system. It Is much
more difficult to digest and assimilate
than the milk and it fails to supply
the individual with the all-essential
vitamines. We naturally do not eat
as much butter as we might other
wise because of its high price and
relative scarcity. The welfare of the
children of the nation and of the
population as a whole is far more
dependent on the development of the
dairy industry than the beef indus
try. In other words, If we concen
trate our energy more on the pro
duction of milk and butter we could
supply the needs of our population
and their dietary requirements more
satisfactory and economically than

! through the production of beef. Os
course, beef should not be excluded,
but its use should be regulated; in
other words, it should not constitute
as it does in so many of our homes
one of the chief articles of the menu.
f Most of our homes are without a
garden or orchard. Fruits and vege
tables are considered expensive and
non-essential in many instances; so
we eat, taken as a nation, relatively
small supplies of the green-leaved
vegetables and fruits which provide
vitamines, laxative qualities and the
essential salts as well. In the city
it may be difficult to have a garden,
yet those living In towns may
often enjoy a better dietary than
those living in the country. A
large proportion of the fruits and
vegetables we produce are rushed to
the towns and cities. A part of
the urban population has the money
to buy them, and in such families the
chances are that the amount of meat
consumed is minimized to a consid
erable extent, and hence the health
of the family is better safe-guarded
than where meat constitutes one of
the chief articles of the food con
sumed. There is no excuse for every
one in the country not having plenty
of fruits and vegetables. It is a
crime against the children thg.t we
should neglect these matters on the
great majority of our farms. It is
for the purpose of encouraging an
interest in orcharding and gardening
that this article is written. We can
not hope to have as vigorous and
progressive a people as we should
have unless we supply the growing
boys and girls and the mature men
and women of the nation with an
abundance of vitamines and mineral
salts. A deficiency of iron, for in
stance, undoubtedly favors the de
velopment of aenemia, a trouble
which is altogether too prevalent;
yet iron is chiefly taken into the
human system through the consump
tion of vegetables; only a very
small amount is just as essential to
the welfare of the human body as
the larger quantities of other con
stituents which we may think it nec
essary to provide.
As a nation we are disposed to suf
fer from constipation and all the
Ills that flow thereform. This is due
in. large measure to the fact that we
do not consume a balanced dietary
in which the elements associated with
a laxative condition of the bowels
are provided in proper proportion.
If we would eat more of the citrus
fruits and apples and cut out some
of the other things, we would all be
advantaged thereby; the daily store
of food required to feed and nourish
the individual or the family could
be reduced quite materially, and the
health ration of the nation be main
tained on an infinitely higher plane
than it is today.
Mineral salts of course are im
portant because they are body reg
ulators. They help to keep the
famework or the skeleton in good
working order; they favor a rapid
and complete circulation and promote
good digestion. Why spend so much
effort and energy, therefore, on the
purchase and use of meat when the
raw products of the orchard and
garden are so essential and' relatively
easy to have on every farm? A good
collard patch is literally worth its
weight in gold during the winter sea
son; yet, how comparatively few fam
ilies cultivate greens of this charac
ter in their gardens. Those who do
not like collards can grow what some
are pleased to term the more refined
type of greens. Almost any one can
have a little old frame in the back
yard, which should provide a beauti
ful head of lettuce for at least one
meal a day during the winter sea
son. The tomato, is one of the easi
est and most desirable of vegetables
to cultivate. A few plants will pro
duce a large amount of fruit. There
is far more truth than fiction in the
saying "An apple a day keeps the
doctor away."
It is not necessary that a dietary
should be costly in order to be health
ful. The Italian peasant of southern
Italy lives most economically from
our point of view. His primary food
is polento, which is made of corn and
beans cooked together. In addition
he consumes vast quantities of green
leaved vegetables. Thus, though his
dietary is simplicity itself, he and his
children grow into vigorous manhood
and womanhood, as is evidenced by
the hard labor they have performed
for years on public works when
brought to this country. This very
simple diet, on which a hardy and
vigorous race has been developed,
supplies, after all, the essential
vitamines and mineral salts. The
negroes of the south are credited
with living on a relatively restricted
diet,. but every one knows how fond
they are of greens and what vast
quantities of these they consume.
Again, they are supplying themselves
with the vitamines and the mineral
salts which may be lacking in a much
more costly ration.
The medical records of our army
show that one-third of the men draft
ed were unfit for military service be
cause of some physical defect, the
majority of which could have been
corrected by simple treatment in
youth. A considerable part of the
trouble seemed to be due to defects
in the dietary. In some instances
there has been a persistent over
feeding with meat and the loading
up of the system with undesirable
acids. In other instances, there was
an entire lack of vitamines in the
diet. In some cases the mineral salts
had been neglected, and in others,
comparatively little fruit had been
consumed. Very often cornbread
not a well-balanced food at best, con
stitutes the major portion of the
bread ration. These figures are
startling, to say the least, because
they indicate that one-third of our
manhood was unable to serve the
country satisfactorily in its hour of
need. The shameful loss and waste
involved by such a condition should
arouse us from our indifference and
lethargy relative to health matters.
People who are defective from any
of the causes suggested above can
not be normal nor can work or
perform the services which they
should be capable of rendering to
themselves and the community in
which they live. Aside and beyond
all this, think of the incredible
amount of sickness, lost motion and
unhappiness which such a condition
is bound to produce. The interests
of the nation and of the individuals
concerned demand that conditions
such as these be corrected.
It seems reasonable to suppose
that if thirty-three and a third per
cent of the men were found defective
that an equal per cent of the women,
if examined in the same manner,
would also be found physically defii
cient. When we consider that our
country is blessed with the most fa
vorable soil and climate, and that we
can grow in superabundance, when
ever we wish to do so, every variety
of fruit, vegetable and foodstuff
needed to give our people the most
completely balanced and desirable
dietary in the world, does not our
apparent neglect of this matter be
come of grave economic concern?
It seems to me that it is far more
important that the women of the na
tion be taught the principles involv
ed in the selection and preparation
of food and the serving of whole
some, properly balanced meals than
to give them a smattering of French
and music or some other sort of
training which does not add to their
efficiency, their charm or their abil
ity to serve mankind acceptably.
Let us have all the refinement and
grace possible, but let us not longer
neglect the fundamental and essen
tial things. A new generation of
children is being born each day that
the sun rises and sets athwart the
great plains and mountain ridges of
America. Are we going to see in fu
ture that they are nurtured and fed
as they should be and given a fair
chance to develop into normal men
and women? Or are We still going
to condemn one-third of them to be
inefficient, unhealthy and unhappy
and a menace rather than a blessing
to . society. There is no crime so
heinous as that against childhood.
To deny to children the enjoyment
of their birthright is unforgivable.
Let us correct through the adequate
use of the knowledge we already
possess the injustice done the chil
dren of past generations. To do this
will call for the united effort and
active and sympathetic support of all
our people, but once they sense the
issues involved and the gravity of
the situation by which we are con
fronted, I feel certain they will rally
to the cause in no uncertain manner.
Beggar Weed as a Potash Clover
A. N., Baconton, Ga., writes:
Does begger weed add potash to
the soil and how? How does it
compare with crimson clover or
hairy vetch as a legume? Does
it make a good pasture? Please
give formula for inoculating
clover and vetch seed.
Begger weeds do not add potash to
the soil. In fact, there is no plant
which will do this. Some crops feed
much deeper in the soil than others.
Alfalfa, for instance, sends roots
down into the ground to the depth of
several feet under favorable condi
tions. It can thus gather potash
from larger areas of the land than
some other crops. All legumes re
quire considerable amounts of
potash. This is one reason, no
doubt, why nature gave them such an
extenscive root system. Our expe
rience and observation would lead us
to select crimson clover, any of the
winter growing cereals or hairy vetch
as the most desirable legumes* to
plant and use as winter cover crops
in southwest Georgia. We would also
prefer these crops as purveyors of
humus to the soil. Rye, of course, is
not a legume and gathers no nitrogen
from the air on that account. Crim
son clover and hairy vetch are both
legumes and so will add something
to the sum total of the nitrogen in
the land on which they, are grown
and turned under. You will always
obtain a larger bulk of three pecks
and crimson clover in the proportion
of twelve pounds. You may, of
course, use hairy vetch in place of
the clover. Hairy vetch seed have
recently been more expensive than
that of the other crops mentioned.
Bermuda grass on red lands will
form a dense and virtually perma
nent sod. Beggar weed would only
supply at best a more or less tem
porary pasture. There is no formula
for inoculating clover and vetch
seeds. Seeds of these crops as you
know are relatively small. This is
particularly true of clover seed.
Hence, it has been found desirable
to inoculate the smaller seeded sorts
in particular for planting on soil
areas where they have not been pre
viously grown. There are many con
cerns which now manufacture these
cultures, and you can secure such
quantities as you may desire at a
reasonable cost therefrom. Full di
rections accompany all cultures, and,
if these are carefully and painstak
ingly followed, good results should
be obtained from their use under the
circumstances I have portrayed.
Winter liegnmes as Cover Crops
C. L. J., Sandersville, Ga.,
writes: I want to seed several
acres this fall to a winter legume
as a cover crop and for hay.
I have thought of bur clover and
vetch. Any advice you can give
me along this line will be appre
ciated.
You could seed either hairy vetch
or bur clover this fall as a winter
cover crop. The hairy vetch would
in our judgment make you the best
hay crop. We would prefer to seed
it along with rye, os.is, or wheat for
this purpose. Our preference is al
ways for oats, as they make an ex
cellent quality of hay if cut when
just passing out of the dough stage.
You might sow a bushel of oats and
a peck of vetch, say, from October
15th to November Ist. The hairy
vetch makes little growth or develop
ment in the autumn months, but
grows vigorously in the spring. Tne
oats give it the support it needs. Be
side being one of the most beautiful
combination farm crops, you will se
cure a good yield of hay of fine nu
tritive value. We have cut from one
and one-half to four tons per acre
from this combination, and it has
proved to be a most satisfactory hay
for work stock and beef and dairy
cattle.
Bur clover is an annual, as you
doubtless know, and we think more
valuable for grazing in your section
than for hay production. We would
prefer to seed it early as it germi
nates very slowly. In planting bur
clover it is best to seed it in shallow
rows about three feet apart. You
will need to use about four bushels
in the bur. When seeded in this
manner, it does not need to be in
oculated. We would use two hun
dred pounds of acid phosphate and
one hundred pounds of kainit for the
purpose of stimulating its growth.
You can graze it in the spring, but
would have to keep stock off in April
and May if you wish it to reseed
itself.

Say, cousins, what are your choice flow
ers? Mine are roses, vloletS and lilacs.
I wish some of you cousins would come
and visit me this summer. We sure would
have some time fishing and bathing and
camping out.
I am glad that it’s settled about what
child we will care for, aren’t you cousins?
Did you have a good time Easter? I hope
you did. I sure do enjoy the letter box.

brown eyes, medium complexion. Now you
know I am a beauty. Ha! ha! Age, be

my age please write and I will send my
photograph to them. /

baby all we can. I would like to hear

California and Florida.
With love to all and lots more to Aunt
Julia, then anyone else, by-by.

myself. Blue eyes, fair complexion, brown
hair, weight 120 pounds. 5 feet 5 inches
tall, and am sweet seventeen. How many

that’s my occupation. I like country life
very well, but like city life the best, for
there is more pastime in the city. I have
five sisters, one married and one of my
sisters is an army- nurse. We are proud
of her. Well, cousins, I guess I had better
hush before Auntie gets the broom after
me. Cousins, if you all want to write to a

MARY MEREDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I am coming to you for advice.
Will you please tell me what will
take dandruff off the head and what
will make the hair grow? What will
take sunburn off? What will take
blackheads out of the face? Which
is more suitable for a summer dress,
voile or some kind of silk dress?
This is" some questions to ask, but
please pardon me. I hope to see
this in print, as it is my second let
ter to write. Thanking you for ad
vice.
Respectfully yours,
E. M.
Dandruff comes from a dry
scalp. The hair should be kept
perfectly clean, then it should
get the sunlight and air. Wash
the hair in fresh rainwater. This
will make it grow, and just be
fore doing so rub. the scalp well,
say at least a half hour's mas
sage, with a mixture of one tea
spoonful of castor oil, a third
of a spoonful of powdered quinine
mixed with a little bayrum. This
used everytime before shampoo
ing the hair will help. But keep
the hair aired.
Here comes an Alabama girl to
you for advice. I’m nineteen years
old, and have finished school. I’m
going with two boys now. One I
love very dearly, but he doasn’t love
me. The other boy loves me and
has asked me to marry him, but I
don t care for him. He says he will
never be happy without me. He has
a college education, and the boy I
love hasn’t. Please tell me what to
do. I might be happy with the boy
I don t love, but I am sure I could
never forget the one I love. Will
appreciate any advice you may give
BROWN EYES.
Even if you love tbe young
man devotedly who cares nothing
for you, such devotion as you
feel now will dwindle away
after awhile, with nothing to
feed upon. And if you feel sure
he never love you, you
would be wiser to forget him.
And, another thing, if the other
man loves you, and has a col
lege education, at least you will
not be ashamed of him, and everv
woman likes to look up to the
man she marries.

Christmas he quit coming and did

this in The Journal.
WEEPING WILLOW.
There is nothing left for you
to do but let the boy go on the
way he has chosen. He is sim
ply tired of you, that is all. Lose
no time weeping over him, but
treat him with indifference.
There are others, and it is up to
you to find them. You may find
someone later whom you can
care for more than you do this
boy.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1920
The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
What About Prohibition?
Our tri-weekly readers will under
stand that the eighteenth amendment
of the federal constitution was not
only passed through the congress oi
the United States by a three-fourths
majority, but forty-five of the forty- -
eight states subsequently ratified the
amendment and Georgia was among
the early ones to ratify—by the gen-u
eral assembly—in session as the law
directs. That would seem to be quite'
enough to silence opposition and to
clear the United States of the mak
ing and selling of intoxicants. Pre
vious to the ratification of this pro
hibition amendment, the internal rev
enue system was hand-in-glove with
the bonded United States warehouses
where liquor could be stored for sev
eral years, to mellow with age, and
the United States government obtain
ed a revenue from this bonded liquor
when sold. When whisky could be.
retailed at $2 per gallon, the federal
authorities received something like
DO cents for its share—as a partner.
This alliance between the federal
government and the liquor makers
grew out of the devastation of the
civil war of the 60’s. It was only
tolerated because the Civil war
brought the United States to thq,
edge of bankruptcy. But it survived,
the Civil war. The prohibition
amendment was fought from start'
to finish by the makers and
of liquors.
The congress of the United States
voted out this lawful curse on the
lives of mothers and their children.:
The government was obliged to cut
itself loose from this wicked part-.
nership that debased the homes and
the lives and the happiness of the
children of our homes —inhabited by
the men, women and children—num
bering more than one hundred m!i->>
lions of people in this American re
public.
It was a long contest. It was a
very bitter one. The gains of the’
liquor sellers were immense. It
made these men more rich in money
and powerful in politics. They fought
to the last ditch! After the prohi
amendment became an integral part
of the supreme law of the United
states —a faction came forward to
ratified by the aforesaid forty-five
states, a faction came forward to
make the United States as wet as
the Atlantic ocean.
New Jersey presented tlie wet.
candidate to the national Democratic
convention, assembled as Frisco, and
the convention would not swallow
such a candidate “in the raw.” Nev
ertheless, there was a general upris-t.
ing of the liquor forces —jto control
the politics of this country.
There is a united effort to elect,
to congress, men of the “wet” va
riety. Therefore, we find liquor can
didates in many counties for such
offices as sheriff and those who caA
hinder the proper enforcement of,
this prohi-amendment.
We have all the law that anybody
could ask for, to prevent the illicit
making and vending of these dread
ful intoxicants. The law-enforce
ment is the place' where the con
spiracy prevails, by reason of the
failure of sworn officials to enforce
the law.
When I tell you that I have in
formation from reliable sources that
there are thousands of illicit stills
where corn and corn meal are turn
ed into sour mash (and corn sells
now at $3 per bushel) that syrup is
bought and sold to sweeten the 1
whisky mash: hundreds of persons
are hauling in hundreds of gallons
of this devil’s broth by night t,o be 1
sold and shipped at fabulous nrices.
I ask the readers of the Tri-Weekly
Journal to wake up—and look around
and see “where we are at!”
Value of Grading Proved
It has been demonstrated many
times that in the markets of the
world the seller with the best graded
products is the favorite, because
graded goods are standard and the
buyer knows what he will get when
he buys. Standardization establishes
a common language between the buy
er in one country and the seller in
another, which creates understanding
and confidence and prevents disputes.
A national grading system usually
provides for authorized national in
spectors to pass unon the goods and
thus puts into effect a uniform
standard application of the grades
established, whatever they may be,
that can not be maintained unless
the system is nation wide in its
scope. In fact, experience has shown
that the decisive factor in the devel
opment of foreign busines often
hinges on the proper standardization
and grading of the products to be
sold.
