AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Controlling Army Worm Damage
D. W. E., Gainesville, Ga.,
writes: “I have about fifty
■ acres of bottom land planted in
corn which the army worm has
struck. They have been in the
corn about four or five days
and have destroyed about one
fifth of it. They are eating
it down to the ground and leav
ing nothing but the stem in
some places. Please give me a
remedy for getting rid of this
pest.”
The army worm seems to be caus
ing a good deal of destruction among
the field crops this year. The dam
age appears to be especially severe
in corn fields. This worm is nearly
two inches in length. It is either a
dark or dingy color and has three
narrow stripes below and a smaller,
darker one at each side. It looks
very much like the cut worm, and,
as a matter of fact, it belongs to
that family. As a rule, there are
two or three broods a year. One
female lays as many as 700 eggs.
Ten days are required for hatching
and from three to four weeks for
the larvae to fully develop. This
worm, as its name indicates, travels
in large numbers. They feed en
tirely by night, and they do great
damage to grain fields before their
presence is discovered.
The best method of fighting this
pest is as follows: You may dust
the affected crops with calcium ar
senate by means of a hand sprayer.
You could also use Paris green or
lead arsenate. In case you use
either of the two poisons last named,
mix one pound of the poison
with from fifteen to twenty pounds
of slaked lime. This may be ap
plied to considerable advantage by
placing a man on a mule and putting
a considerable quantity of the poison
prepared as indicated in a gunny
sack. If he attaches one sack to
each end of a stick of the proper
length, he can dust two rows very
quickly, as the mule may be made
to travel at a relatively fast pace.
Another way of destroying this in
sect is to break the ground to the
width of four feet and scatter Paris
green thereon. Another plan is to
plow a deep, wide furrow into which
many of the worms will fall in
migrating from one section of the
field to another. They can then be
destroyed by using kerosene, crude
petroleum, or by throwing straw
over them and burning it.
Side Applications of Fertilizers for
Corn
L. L. W., Meansville, Ga.,
writes: I have my corn planted
in four and a half foot rows and
three feet in the drill without
any fertilizer under the corn.
The corn was planted the first of
June and I am now applying 125
pounds of a 10-2-2 guano, and in
tend to apply 100 pounds of ni
trate of soda later on. When is
the best time to apply the ni
trate, and would it pay to use
it on cotton?
There is no reason why nitrate of
soda should not prove a profitable
topdresser to use on both cotton and
corn under certain circumstances.
For corn it should be used strictly as
a surface or side-application, and we
would wish to put it on when the
corn is about knee high or as soon
thereafter as practicable. There is
an impression in the minds of many
that nitrate of soda should not be
put on corn until It is silking or tas
seling. Experience has proven that
this might augment growth but
would not benefit the crop to any
thing like the extent which would
be derived from an earlier ap
plication. It takes nitrate of soda
some time to be absorbed by the
plant and to perform its special
function on the crop of producing a
vigorous growth. So, early applica
tions are desirable on that account.
Corn is small and backward this
year. Under the circumstances, we
fee] that its application on the basis
indicated should prove desirable.
In a section where the boll weevil
is very bad we rather doubt the ad
visability of applying nitrate of soda
as a top dresser. Under such cir
cumstances we think it would be
best to put the nitrate of soda under
the drill row at or very shortly aft
er the time the . cotton is planted.
Where the boll weevil is found, one
should endeavor to promote the most
rapid growth of the plant in the
early part of the season as can pos
sibly be achieved. To this end. we
advise and recommend the procedure
outlined above in dealing with side
applications to crops. In sections
where the boll weevil has not yet
made its appearance, we should ad
vise the use of side-applications of
nitrate of soda on the basis of one
hundred pounds per acre put on
about the time the first squares are
beginning to form.
Fall Crop Irish Potatoes
J. G. N., Fort Gaines, Ga.,
writes: lam thinking of plant
ing four or five acres of Irish
potatoes. Would appreciate your
advice as to the best variety,
when to plant, how to fertilize
and cultivate.
Among the best varieties of Irish
potatoes to plant for the fall crop
are the Lookout Mountain and the
Green Mountain. Homegrown seed
Is the best. I always use the small
potatoes from my first crop. I in
variably plant Irish Cobblers. The
land intended for this crop should
be well fertilized. The use of three
hundred pounds of acid phosphate
and one hundred and fifty pounds of
cotton seed meal is a good formula.
Any carrier of nitrogen supplying
an equivalent amount of this ele
ment may be substituted for cotton
seed meal. Moist, bottom land is
good for second crop potatoes. Any
land that will make good cotton will
make potatoes, if properly prepared.
Land Intended for potatoes should
be employed, if this has not already
been done, and worked down to a
tilth. Keep harrowed and free from
weeds until August Ist in your sec
tion. Plant in two and one-half
foot rows and cover six Incnes deep.
One load of well-rotted stable ma
nure can be used to advantage with
the fertilizer. This should be well
mixed with the subsoil in the bot
tom of a deep furow. When the po
tatoes have been planted, draw the
earth together and leave it well
ridged. You may cut the potatoes,
if you wish, leaving tw oeyes to a
piece. Cultivate often enough to
keep the grass and weeds in check.
Should bugs appear, proceed to
fight them in the usual manner.
Fighting Insect Depredations In
Corn
A. J. R., Commerce, Ga.,
writes: Worms resembling the
roasting ear worm are destroy
ing my corn. They begin in the
bud and are worse in the young
corn. I should make about 1.-
200 bushels and my loss will be
great if I can not stop the worm.
Anything you can do for me will
be appreciated.
About the only thing you can do
in fighting the worms which are at
tacking your corn is to proceed as
follows:
Obtain a stick of exactly the same
width as your corn rows. To each
end of this stick attach a gunny
sack. Place therein a considerable
quantity of calcium arsenate or a
mixture made up of one' pound of
paris green to twenty pounds of
slaked lime. Put a man on a mule
and as the mule trots along enough
of the powdered poison will be shak
en out to cover the corn fairly well.
You may not find this a satisfac
tory treatment, but it is the very
best we can suggest under existing
circumstances. You should use the
poison at the rate of about five
pounds and upward per acre. We
de not think the use of over ten or
fifteen pounds would be necessary.
Some fairly satisfactory results from
dusting corn in the manner indicated
have been obtained in the past.
This pest is very difficult to con
trol or destroy even under the most
favorable conditions. You can, of
course, dust your corn with a power
spraying machine or with a hand
duster such as is used to apply cal
cium arsenate to cotton. The dust
ing may be done from the back of
a mule with a hand machine. A
power machine could, of course, be
used for the purpose provided the
corn is net already too high.
Data Side Applications of Nitrate
of Soda
L. N. C„ Rome, Ga., writes: I
bought a half ton of nitrate of
soda for use on my cotton, but
in view of the boll weevil situa
tion, I not not know whether to
apply it or not. I will appre
ciate your advice in this mat
ter. •
We consider it late to apply ni
trate of soda to cotton even in north
Georgia, and would not advise its
use under existing conditions at this
season of the year. There is only
about one thing that nitrate of soda
would accomplish if applied now: it
might stimulate the development
and growth of the plant and provide
the weevils other young squares and
immature bolls on which to feed.
In that event, the weevils might
leave such squares as have devel
oped up to the present time alone.
In that event, you would be able to
harvest whatever part of the crop
had been set on up to the present
time. The use of nitrate of soda
under weevil conditions should be
confined to the application of this
material either under the drill row
at the time of planting or as side
applications down the middles of the
cotton rows just as soon as the cot
ton is out of the ground. The early
stimulation and development of the
cotton plant under weevil conditions
is the end to be attained. Fertilizing
the plant later on in the season will
only result in the production of more
feed for the weevils. We hardly
think this is a desirable practice.
Destroying Bermuda Grass in
Gardens
A. C. M., Maxton, N. C., writes:
I have a lot of Bermuda grass
in my garden, and I wish to
know the best way to get rid
of it.
The very best method of getting
rid of Bermuda grass is to smother
it out. To that end, you might plant
immediately cowpeas in the section
of your garden infested with the
grass. The ground should be broken
to the greatest depth possible. Turn
under as much of the grass as you
can. Harrow and rake out all the
roots that remain on the surface.
Gather them up and destroy them
by burning. Plant the peas in drills
about six inches apart, covering to a
depth say of two and one-half
inches. Good varieties to select are
Warren’s Extra Early, New Era or
Whippoorwill. The peas may be
gathered and used for food and the
vines turned under to a good dpeth
in September or October.
You might then plant this land to
winter oats to be used as green feed
for your poultry. In the spring you
can plant the land to any clean-hoed
crop after the oats have been har
vested. This will help to keep the
ground well-shaded. You might plant
corn with peas between the rows.
The peas will help enrich the ground
and shade the land. You can thus
grow two profitable crops on the land
in one season. The persistent use
of shade crops will enable you to ef
fectively get rid of the Bermuda
grass.

WHEN IS THE HOUSEWIFE’S
VACATION?
I got a letter from a woman I
know. Usually she i s just a happy
home-maker, seeing a good reason
for all that comes into her life. But
this year she has been overworked;
she has had a house full of “Locusts”
as I call them, and it has turned her
attention more to the way the world
seems to be and less to how she
can make things at home work out
for the good of all concerned.
Do you want to know who I call
“Locusts”? They are the people who
go in droves and settle down on a
hardworking family and eat all the
fruit that the family had planned to
save for winter. The young Locusts
are bad, unusually so, for father and
mother are too busy visiting to care
h-ow the children behaye.
The children know they are where
they can do as they please, and begin
to “show off” as soon as they get in
the house.
I am thankful for the fact that I
have never been afflicted by any of
the Locust family. I have enjoyed
all the children that have come into
this home, but I’ve been sorry for
friends suffering from such visits.
I had a friend whose sister came

SABBATH SCHOOL
LESSON
For August 22—Fsa, 51:1-17
BY DB. MARION MYt. HULL
One year of David’s life was a
veritable hell. It was not when Saul
was persecuting him, nor when Ab
salam rebelled against him; but the
year when he was trying to cover his
sin. We learned last week that it
was the lust of the eye, the lust of
the flesh, and the pride of life that
was the background of the long train
of sins of which David was guilty;
the first two were quickly over; but
it was when David was trying to
save his sac the pride of life
was controlling his actions—that Da
vid suffered the tortures of the con
demned. He tells us aUout it him
self in Psalms 32. “When I kept si
lence, my bones waxed old through
my roaring; for day and night thy
hand was heavy upon me; my mois
ture is turned as with the drought
of summer.”
But God loved David too much to
let him continue to suffer thus; so
He sent Nathan, the prophet, to him
with his “Thou art-the-man” mes
sage, a message which David could
not escape, and which brought con
viction, and confession. Some have
supposed yiat Psams 51 was spoken
first the night Bathsheba’s baby died.
It could not have been long before or
after that. It seems an appropriate
time; for David was guilty of mur
der and according to the law should
have, died for it; but God accepted
the innocent baby’s life in David’s
stead.
It is a wonderful prayer he ut
tered. —Confession (vs. 1-6); Conver
sion (vs. 7-10); consecration (vs. Il
li.)
Confession
Confession was the first step and
the necessary step; nothing else was
possible until this had been done.
David had been trying to save his
face, as the Chinese say, for a year;
now he lays bare his innermost
heart, keeps back nothing, owns up
to the fullest and throws himself on
the mercy of God.
How many a heart is kept back
from blessing because of uhconfessed
sin? God can do nothing for such
a one until confession is made. And
yet that is music in His ears. He
waits to be gracious, but cannot be
until you confess; and yet He has
but a special message in His -word
to us about this (1 Jno. 1:9); was
not written to unbeileves, but to
Christians. It is a wonderful gra
cious promise: “If we confess our
sins, He is faithful and just to for
give us and cleanse us from all un
righteousness.” David made his
complete.
Notice the verbs he uses, “Have
mercy,” means in the Hebrew, to
bend over in kindness as a superior
to an inferior. “Blot out,” is to ob
literate everything, as one would
wipe away all the writing on a slate,
so there would be no semblance of
anything left. “Wash” is one of two
Hebrew words that arfe so translat
ed; this one here used comes from a
root meaning to trample upon, and
conveys the idea of getting a thing
clean if necessary by trampling upon
it, beating it, scrubbing it hard. Do
you remember a chorus like this:
So wash me now. without, within;
Or purge with fire if that must be;
No matter how, if only sin
Die out in me; die out in me.
That is what David asked God to
do —use any means just so this hor
rible stain be gotten out of his life.
“Cleanse” conveys the idea of wip
ing it off as you would dirt from a
dish. Think this over:
David recognized God’s superiority
and could cast himself on His mercy

only one child, but she was suf
ficient. She lay on the floor and put
her feet against her aunt’s mahogany
bedstead and scratched it with her
heels, “just to see how big aunties
eyes will get, when she sees.”
I was asked what would I have
done, and I had to confess that I did
not know. But let me tell you that
I believe her eyes would have been
bigger than mine. • Line upon line
and precept upon precept ig better
than showing temper and acting like
a furious animal.
Our county demonstrator, Miss
King, often says that she knows
what I am going to say when asked
why my chickens live, or my canned
things keep. She says in my reply
I always say: “Put your mind on it,”
and that is certainly necessary when
one is dealing with a bad child, a
guest in the home. This correspond
ent of mine was just in the mood
to criticize the paper she picked up.
It was one that both of us enjoy,
and she said: “I know you read last
weeks Guide. Did you notice the
self-satisfied smirk on the man’s
face and the patience of the woman’s
in the true stories of the successful
pioneers? All the way through the
man said ‘l’ and not once’we.’
You and I know about mar
ried life to know the wife was by
his side or a little in the lead all
the time. I’ll bet he lost his monkey
wrench and screw driver and file
1,000 times and she found them and
put them away for him. If she had
not had the meals on time and nour
ishing food for him he never would
have been able to do the work, yet
it was ‘l’ did this, that and the
other.”
I looked at the picture of the
horse, the calf and the family. I
read the article and saw that my
correspondent was right—it was the
man blowing his own trumpet. I
felt sorry for that pioneer wife, and
hoped that she really has a more ap
preciative husband than the paper
led us to think. But every woman
will bear witness that a word of ap
preciation soothes many a heartache,
and eases the harness of the w’orker
more than actual physical rest can
help one.
This thing also impressed my cor
respondent: The prize contest was
for farmers to tell how to make their
work easier. And she said, “What
I’d like to know is how many are
making the wife’s work easier?”
not possible for him to do this for
himself, particularly as it was not
outward holiness but truth in the in
ward life that God desired. The
standard was too high for any human
who had been born in sin to reach.
David was not offering this heredi
tary tendency as a reason why it
was necessary for God to get rid of
his sin for him, to do something
which he could not possibly do for
himself.
Conversion
Look at the other verbs which he
used in his request to God. “Purge”
•—wtih the hyssop, because it was
—with the hyssop branch that the
blood was sprinkled on the offerer.
What David was asking was forgive
ness on the ground of atonement, a
substitutionary sacrifice. The inni
cent babe had died in his stead, fore
shadowing the Innocent Son of God
dying for the guilty and making it
possible for God to be just and yet
the justifier of them that accept
Him as their substitute.
“Make me to hear”—the joy and
gladness had been there all along, but
the sweet psalmist’s harp had been
silent for a year; he had no ear for
the music of God. Sin had stopped
his ears—he wants them unstopped
so he can hear all the joy and glad
ness that God is giving to those who
have ears to hear.
“Hide thy face” for as long as
David’s sin was before God’s face
David was a condemned and isolat
ed man. He wanted his sin behind
God’s back, the only safe place for
his sin or ours.
•‘Create,” the same Hebrew word
used in Gen. 1. The heart that has
sinned has to be made over again
as an entirely new heart. The same
material may be used but a new
creation is necessary. Reformation
will not suffice; regeneration, re-crea
ation is necessary, so after that Da
vid wad a new creation.
“Renew” a right spirit within me—
make new the kind of spirit that will
not desire the wrong thing. And
this is what happens to the regen
erated soul. We become a new cre
tion so that the old things have pass
ed awawyw, and all things have be
come new.
“Take not away” from me thy
Holy Spirit. David must have had
in mind the fatal result of the spirit
of God leaving Saul; he didn’t want
to run the risk of having anything
like that happen to him.
Consecration
“Cast me not away from thy pres
ence—for a whole year David had
suffered banishment froip God. He
couldn’t stand that any longer.
“Restore.” Yes, he had known
what the joy of God’s salvation was;
he wanted to be back now, he got it
in larger measure.
"Uphold,” the idea is to let me
lean against you so as to hold me
up. If God grips you there is no
chance of you falling.
“Deliver me”—that is, snatch me
away out of danger, the danger of
blood guiltiness here, for as a result
of David’s sin—and he couldn’t get
away from this idea, yet Uriah and
the baby were both dead, and his son
Ammon was dead.
“Open”—unstop a mouth that had
been closed tightly, and praise would
follow. Anything that God required
he would gladly give—but that was
not anything material, it was a brok
en and a contrite heart, and that Da
vid was then laying on God’s altar.
I wonder if you have noticed that
David uses fifteen Hebrew verbs in
this prayer? Fifteen is three times
five. Three is the number of divine
perfection and five is the number of
grace. David led by the spirit of
God, in praying for forgiveness em
phasizes, in the very number of
words he uses that it is only by
divine grace that such forgiveness
can be had—not by works of right
eousness, but by the free grace of
God. Two of these verbs are used
twice—blot out, and wash. Two is
the number of incarnation. It was
only by the death of the incarnate
Son of God that your sin or mine,
can be blotted out, or washed so that
no vestige remains.
Furthermore, did you notice that
he uses three words to express his
sin, but uses them seven times —
transgressions (2) iniquity, sin (2)
iniquities, and son. He could not
have expressed more perfectly his
utter failure—sin is missing the
mark, transgression is running crass
God’s will (rebellion) iniquity is a
failure to kefep your life parallel
with the will of God. When he
uses the singular, he refers to his at
titude; when td the plural to his va
rious acts.
This Psalm will never be out of
date—it is one of the songs of the
heart that never grows old? Has it
ever struck yet a responsive chord
in your heart? Is there yet any
unconfessod sin there?
God waits to be gracious.
