Destroying- Weevils in Stored Grain
K. H. H„ Marietta. Ga.,
writes: I have some wheat sack
i ed in sacks holding a bushel
V and a half and it is fairly dry.
i I wish to know what to do to
i prevent weevils from getting
into it.
The best method of protecting
Wlibat from infestation by weevils
is through the process known as
fumigation. This consists of the ap
plication of poisonous gases of suf
ficient strength to kill the insects.
Various materials may be used for
this purpose, depending on the na
ture of the 'insect life to be de
stroyed. Carbon bisulphide is the
cheapest and most desirable mate
rial to use for the purpose you have
in view. It has a very disagreeable
and penetrating odor not dissimilar
to that observed in the case of bad
ly decayed eggs. The gas generated
when this substance is mixed with
air’ is highly inflammable. It is
dlso heavier than air so that it
readily sinks down into the grain
end penetrates every part of the
container in which it is stored. 'lf
It is inhaled for a considerable pe
riod of *time it might cause sick
ness and even death. No light
should be brought about where car
bon bisulphide is being handled. Or
dinarily, there is no danger to those
forking with. it and it will not
burn the hands or injure clothing.
.In treating grain it should be
Used at the rate of six pounds of
the liquid to every one thousand
cubic feet of storage space. Put the
grain in as tight a structure or bin
in the right proportion in shallow
pans. Place these on top of the
grain and cover with a heavy cloth.
The tegatment should continue for
about twenty-four hours. The grain
should .then be opened up and aired.
The disagreeable odor will disappear
end the grain will be found thor
oughly satisfactory for use. It may
•be necessary to repeat the treatment
.in a period of about thirty days so
as to effectively destroy any wee
vils which ■ may have hatched sub-
Bequently to the> time the first treat
tnent was made. •

representing our live stock value. In
1918, Georgia stood fourth in the
value of all crops with $589,858,-
000 to our credit. We stood sev
enteenth' in the value of our live
stock with $193,481,000.00 to our
credit. In 1919, we stood sixth in
the value of all of our crops with
$613,230,000 to our credit. I can
not state our rank in live stock
production, but it is, I think, con
siderably better than last year. At
this time we have made $201,840,000
to the credit of our live stock as
sets.
These figures, I believe, Will give
you the information desired and
make it self-evident that Georgia is
a progressive state and has climb
ed right close up to the top and
is successfully maintaining he"r po
sition there. ,
Protecting the Corn Crop by Dusting
M. H., Villa Rica, Ga., writes:
Worms are destroying my corn,
and I wish to know how to get
rid of them. I do not wish to
have to plow up my corn.
Presumably, the army worm has
attacked your corn field. In that
event, you should proceed as fol
lows:
Plow up a strip four or five feet
wide across the field beyond the
,edge of the area which the Worms
have already reached. Harrow and
drag this area so as to develop a
dust mulch. Plow a deep, V-shaped
furrow on either side. As the worms
make their way from the part of
the field they have attacked, many
of -them will fall into the first- fur
row. They can be destroyed with
kerosene or a light mulch of straw
which is set on fire and burned.
Many of the worms that get over
this furrow will fail to get across
the dry, dusty area, and those that
do can- be killed in the second fur
row in the manner indicated. This
is the cheapest and most certain
method of destroying this pest.
Where- this method is not practi
cable, you can dust the affected, corn
w.ith calciujn arsenate, or a mixture
rriadtf 4 up' of d’ne pound of Paris
green to twenty pounds of slaked
lime. This may be dusted on the
corn with a hand duster, or by a
power machine provided the corn is
small. In the event, you have neith-,
er one of these implements on
hand, secy re a. stick as long as the
width of your corn rows. To each
end of this stick attach gunny sacks
filled with a quantity of either of
the' poisons indicated. This may be
dusted on the corn by a man frgm
the back of a mule. Calcium arsen
ate arid Paris green are poisonous, i
arid, or course, the fodder should not
be used until several heavy rains
have drenched it. After, the occur-
rence of rains of the character in
dicated, we are not disposed to think
there would be any danger from
feeding the fodder.
Crops Suited to Overflow Land,
W. F. C., Maysfield, Ga..
writes: I have some land I
wish to seed for early winter
and sprung pasture for cattle.
The land has been in sod and
is subject to overflow. What
would you advise using and
when should it be sown?
None of the tame grasses will
stand prolonged overflow, but we
think a combination of Red Top,
Meadow Fescue and White Clover
would serve the purpose you have
in view. These grasses will do as
well on a moist location as any
we can suggest and they are not
likely to displace the Bermuda which
will grow and thrive vigorously In
the summer months. You cannot
expect to get much grazing from a
tame grass pasture the first fall
or winter after seeding, The best
■ time to plant in our judgment is
from October 1-15.
An Easily Digested Ration for Work
Stock
R. J. H., Dublin. Ga.,
writes: I have a mule eightyears
old and for the past two years
he has net been well. It seems
that he can not digest whole
corn or unthreshed oats and
bloats up. As long as I keep
y him on prepared feeds he is
all right. I have given him sev
eral different preparations but
they dp not seem to do any
good. Can you give me a rem
edy?
A case of chronic indigestion such
as you describe is often very diffi
cult to treat. In handling a matter
of this kind you should determine
first of all the cause as nearly as
possible and then proceed to its
correction. Digestive troubles fre
quently arise from the use of an
improperly balanced ration. Moldy or
dirty food will also cause this trou
ble in an aggravated form. Water
iifi? immediately after feeding is
also avoided. The use of eas
ily digested, laxative food will often
prove beneficial. The proper com
binations of food so as to supply
the requirements of the animal body
is also essential. You should also
examine the teeth and see that they
are in good condition because per
fect mastication is an essential of
good digestion. Af,ter having made
a survey of the situation, proceed
as follows: Take six hundred pounds
of corn and cob meal, two hundred
and fifty pounds of ground oats and
one hundred pounds of peanut meal
and mix very thoroughly together.
Secure a quantity of clean, bright
hay or fodder which is free from
I. dust and mold. Chop it up relatively
fine.. Moisten it with a lit fie water
containing some salt. Scatter over
this the amount of grain you ex
pect to feed morning, noon and
night. You should not give over
fifteen pounds per day of the above
mixture when your mule is per
forming hard, heavy work. When he
is doing light work, twelve pounds
per day will be enough. Give him
all the roughage he will eat up
clean. Keep the. manger free of
waste food and in an attractive
condition. Give a digestive tonic
containing the following ingre
dients: two pounds of glauber salts,
one pound of common salt and
one-half pound of baking soda. Mix
these materials together thoroughly
and give a heaping teaspoonful in
each feed. «
Dusting Cotton With Calcium
Arsenate
L. V. S., Forest Park Ga.,
writes: “I wish some information
in regard to applying calcium ar
senate. I have College No. 1
cotton which is fruiting fine and
about knee high. I used 500
pounds of 9-3-3 at planting
time and later applied 150 pounds
of nitrate of. soda. We have
weevils and I would like to know
• by return mail what to do.”
Calcium arsenate should be used
against the boll weevil when from
10 to 20 per cent of the bolls are
attacked. You determine this per
centage by counting the first 100
bolls you come to. On small areas
you can dust the. cotton with a hand
machine: on large areas a power
machine should be used. Power ma
chines do the work more thoroughly
and use less calcium arsenate. In
dusting cotton it is of the utmost
importance to see that the work is
thoroughly and effectively done.
Every leaf should be reached. Dust
the cotton every five to seven days.
Five to six applications will prob
ably be necessary.
Use only a high grade calcium ar
senate. Be certain that it contains
42 per cent of arsenic pentoxid and
not over .75 of 1 per cent of water
soluble arsenic pentoxid. If it con
tains more water soluble arsenic
pentoxid than the percentable in
dicated, the leaves are liable to be
burned and the plants damaged.

BT DR. MA BI 081 M’H. HULI
Golden Text: “The fear of the Lord
is the beginning of wisdom; and to
depart from evil is understanding.—
Job 23:23.
David's latter years were full of
trouble. In fact, his whole life was
a storm. But the troubles of the
latter years were due to his sin.
whereas those of the first part of his
life were not. One of the things that
made hjs last years burdensome was
his failing health. As life went in
those days, David was a young man
when he died. But at seventy he was
an old man. One of the things that
was done to make his last years more
bearable was to get him another wife
—a young buxom Shananite girl,
Abishag, who was strong and vig
orous. This was probably because
of the popular superstition that an
old person drawns strength from a
young person when the two sleep
together. There is nothing in the
superstition though.
Adonijah was one of David’s sons,
born after Absalom, also. Adonijah,
as the eldest son alive, thought the
kingdom would fall to him. And
since his father was in such feeble
health, he decided he would make
the matter sure. He was success
ful in gaining the 'Support of Joab,
the commanding general of his
father’s forces, and of Zerniah. the
priest. But the old guard of the
Cherethites and Pelethites had not
yet been gained.
Adonijah gave a big barbecue down
the valley of the Kedron. just south
east of Jerusalem, at Zapebeth. He
invited Joab and Zerniah and all the
king’s sons except Soloman. Nor did
he invite Nathan the. nor Abiathan
the priest, nor Benaiah the son of
Joboida, who was general next in
command of Joeb.
Nathan realized what -was up and!
adroitly managed the plan. He knew
the soft spot in David’s heart of
Bethsheba, so he sent her to tell David
of Adonijah’s plans and to remind
him of his promise to her that Solo
mon, her son, should succeed him.
As soon as she had finished Nathan
appeared and corroborated her story.
David was a man of action as well
as of his word, so feeble though he
was he *gave his orders to Nathan,
and Zerniah and Beniah.
Solomon was to be placed on the
king’s own mule, and followed
through the streets of the city down
to Gibon. Now Gibon was only a
few yards away from Zopebeth, where
Adonajah’s barbecue was in progress.
There Solomon was to be anointed
king and the trumpets blown as
the sign of a great rejoicing.
The matter was promptly carried
out; the procession was escorted b*
David’s mightiest warriors, and there
was great rejoicing as they came
back into the city.
David was too feeble to get out
of- bed to see it: but he bowed him
self in bed in gratitude to God who
had called him to the kingdom and
had established it, by giving him a
son to sit on the throne and let him
live to see it.
The noise at Gibon was heard at
Zopeleth, and all the guests of Adoni
jah wondered what he heant. A mes
senger finally gave them the news
m detail, and they scattered like a
summer cloud. Adonijah' ran for the
alter and caught hold of the horns
of it for protection. He believed in
safety first. Later Joab did the
same thing, but lost out, as Solomon
ordered him slain, to avenge the
death of Abnen, of Amasa, who had
been slain by him in cold blood.
Solomon promised Adonijah his life
if he would behave like a man; but
Adonjah got Bethsheba to ask Solo
mon to give him the young buxom
Shunamite girl who had nourished
his father in his last illness. Had
Solomon granted this request, Adoni
jah would surely have used it. claim
ing since he had married his father’s
youngest wife, he should have his
father’s throne. Solomon even then
was wise enough to see that, so he
ordered him slain.
Another's Choice
The point about this whole story,
aside from Its mere historical in
terest, is the way in which Solomon
came to the throne. He had no claim
to the throne. He was not the eldest
son, nor was his mother the earliest
wife. When we realize that his
mother was the co-partner in David’s
great sin, we would think that of all
others, he would be the last to suc
ceed to the kingdom. But he came
to the throne purely because David
chose him. It was nothing that he
did himself and it was outside the
bounds of the probable, as we have
seen.
Why David chose him we do not
know. It may have ben to compen
sate Bethsheba in a. measure for the
great wrong he had .done her, for
without a doubt he vzas the greater
offender. Possibly Bethsheba was his
favorite wife; if so it is strange that
she did not minister to him in his
last illness. But whatever the rea
son it was David’s choice rather than
Solomon s efforts that brought him
■to the throne.
In fact, Solomon seems to have
played a passive part throughout.
Everything was done for him—all he
aid was to receive it. David chose
him, Bethsheba and Nathan worked
for him, Zenejah and the army plac
ed him on the mule and led him to
Gibon and Zerinah anointed him. It
'Y as he had been placed on
the throne that h e himself became
active, and in whose strength he act
ed we shall see later.
It was by David’s grace that he
succeeded to the throne. And back
of David’s grace was God’s grace
for do you realize what grace it took
t ° r . G , od to choose David’s and Beth
sheba s son to the human ancestors
of David s Greater Son? That you
may get the full force of this look
geheology of Jeons in
Matt. 1; and ponder over the names
of Tamar, Pharez and of Rahab, and
?r f • f that had been the wife of
Uriah. Marvelous grace of God.
But there’s a further point to this.
Not only did Solomon come to the
kingdom because of the choice of
another and the grace of God, but
that is just why you and I are
kings and priests of God. “Ye have
not chosen me, but I have chosen
you, ’ said Jesus to His disciples
on that never-to-be-forgotten Thurs
day evening in the upper room. And
His words are ringing in our ears
at this moment. We only love Him
because He first loved us. We did not
choose Him but He chose us. And
there is nothing we can do to make
our position sure. Adonijah tried
and failed. Solomon just received
and succeeded. Which one will you
follow?
Nor oes God’s choice of you depend
on what you have been. There are
no limits to His grace. If He chose
Pharez and Solomon there’s nothing
in heredity when God’s grace is on
the other side ''of the scales.
The essential thing is just this:
Are you ready to receive, without
effort on your part, the place He has
chosen for you and in it to bring
forth fruit that He may be glorified?
When Zerubba completed the new
temple, so Zechquariah prophesied,
the work was to be accomplished,
“not by might, nor by an army, but
by My spirit, said the Lord of hosts,
and the capstone was to be put on
with cries of “Grace! Grace!” unto
it.
Some day we shall come into the
presence of the King Himself. The
strong pure light of His holiness
will reveal so much of sin in us that
w-e never realize that it was not be
cause of anything in us that He
chose us: that what has been accom
plished through is and in us has not
been by right or by power, but by
His spirit, and as we receive our
crowns from the Chief Shepherd we,
too, shall realize that it has been
because of the marvelous grace of
God, and our cry also shall be
“Grace! Grace!”

MARY MEREDITHS ADVICE
JO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I am an orphan girl coming for
advice. My mother has been dead
only a few weeks and I would like
for you to advise me as to what I
should wear the few times that I
will go out in company this summer,
as I have never had to select my
wardrobe before. I am thinking of
entering high school next fall, please
tell me what clothes I should get. I
can not spend so much for them but
wish to dress as the average school
girl. Please tell me how many and
what kind of dresses I should get,
also tell me about shoes and wraps
and how I should wear my hair.
Please print this as soon as possible
for I need your advice. Can you
tell me something to whiten the
hands? Thanking yott in advance'for
your much needed advice, I am
BETTIE JOE.
A black crepe de chine made on
simple girlish lines, is very good
taste for afternoon or dress
wear. Black voile is good and
inexpensive over a black soft
silk lining. You may relieve the
somberness by using white net
or organdy collars. A black
cloth plainly tailored suit, with
a couple of crepe de chine or
plain georgette waists and black
heavy coat. I wouldn’t pay much
for a black top coat, if I were
you, because you will not get the
good out of it. One doesn’t need
so many mourning clothes. It is
best to buy a few, simply made
and get the good out of them.
Wear dull black high shoes,
pumps and oxfords. The new
style of hair dressing seems to
extend back from the forehead
softly waved and puffed out over
the ears and on the back. Young
girls in society here seem to be
wearing theirs that way. Keep
aWay from the big puffs like
stuffed sausages, for girls who
haven’t any taste at all seem to
take great joy wearing their
hair thusly, but it has a tenden
cy to make them look cheap. A
bl?ick duvetyn hat would be very
stylish for you, the brims on the
new fall hats are soft and
frilly and duvetyn is very fash
ionable for autumn. Lemon
juice, carbolic acid and glycer
ine mixed, is splendid to whiten
the hands. Juice of one lemon,
ten drops of carbolic acid and
two tablespoonsful of glycerine,
shake well before using.
I am coming to you for . some ad
vice. I have been reading your col
umn in The Journal for a long time.
I am seventeen years old and in love
with a widower forty-five years old.
He says he loves me better than any
girl he ever saw, and wants to marry
me. I love him very dearly, but my
narents object to him. They say he
is too old for me. He also has two
girls about my own age. My parents
want me to finish school, but I don’t
know what to do, as I do not want
to live alone all my life. Do you
think he is too old for me and that
we could not be happy together?
Please print this in the next Jour
nal, as I am anxious to hear from
you.
BLUE. EYES.
I agree with your parents. I
think the man forty-five years old
is entirely too old for you. He
is twenty-eight years older than
you are. And when you reach
the age of twenty you will be
sorry you married him. You will
be discontented all the rest of
your life. You aren’t anything
but a child yet, and life is be
fore you. You will have oppor
tunities to meet younger men, and
will eventually fall in love with
one more suitable to you. Do
not make the mistake of marry
ing a man you will not be con
genial and happy with. May and
December are entirely different.
And so it is with “youth and
old age.” hTe man will not be
treating you fairly if he insists
on marrying you. Listen to your
parents’ advice in this. They are
wiser and their judgment should
be worth much to you.
I am coming to you for advice.
I am a girl of eighteen summers.
There is a boy nineteen years old
that liv&s close to me. I have known
this boy for four years, but lately
he has been coming to see me. He
says he has always liked me, but
has never told me till now. I am
sure I love him, but will tell no boy
I love him if I loved him ever so
much. I and this boy are aiming to
marry I believe we would be happy
together. He always comes when
he says he will. He has proved his
love to me in every way. . Please
advise me whether to marry this boy
or not.
BELL.
I haven’t the right to tejl you
to marry or not to marry. 1 It is
a question you will have to decide
for yourself. You seem to know
that he loves you and wants you,
and you have the same inclina
tion toward him. Any advice
from me might prove disastrous.

IOUR HOUSEHOLD!
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O.THOMAS
TWO LITTLE BOYS IST ONE
The good little boy and the bad lit
tle boy,
Both live in the house with me,
But it is quite strange —I can look
and 100k —
Yet only one little boy I see.
Just one little boy with sparkling
eyes
And the funniest pudgy nose,
All brimful of life from the top of
his head
To the tip of his ten little stubby
toes.
And yet there are two of them, I am
sure,
For one is a bad little boy—
And I am sorry he lives here,
To bother the good little boy.
Yes, pester and bother the good little
boy,
Till he sometimes drives him away,
And the bad little boy is alone with
me,
For the rest of the long, long day.
And I ask him to go for the good lit
tle boy
And bring him again to me:
But I take him up and hold him
close —
While I talk to him lovingly.
And while I am talking he sometimes
laughs,
But oftener far he cries—
And I see the good little boy is back
As I look in the bad boy s eyes.

August Recipes
August is almost gone, more than
half of this year has passed into
eternity and am wondering wheth
er Ze are better or worse, for we
are Tot exactly where wei were when
the New Year came to us. This time
last year there was a serious
ZZtr all over the country. This
farmer hid corn that he thought en-
ruined. That field of corn was
by the side of the road and he had
swelled with pride in Jua ®
was fine, he would have wanted fifty
bushels to the acre if he had been
given an offer for. it, later four would
have been a reasonable price, then
the ra/Tns came and he made twenty.
This year has been the oppositee state
of affairs. There has been rain to
spare. But the farmers have been
alert they got enough sunshine to.
plant' and y thly certainly put in good
work. There was enough
killing days to thoroughly do the job
and many a day they turned the
trass over only to have the ram
make it take root again. But crops
were fine, and their hearts almost
stood still for there seemed a
chance for the corn to fine. Au
gust 6th the rain came and from then

his crop
or his neighbor’s crop, ruined sex® r AJ
times and I regret the fact that the
worms have damaged many fields,
but at this time there is a prospect
of more corn than was raised last
year. And watermelons, oh rny! The
wagons have been scattering, not
many at a time, until the twentieth,
I began to hear them pass on the
pike before four a. m. July 5 the
Farmer and I went to Tuscumbia to
spend the dav at the beautiful park
the city has. We saw our first melon
and paid ninety cents for it. Just
as nice ones sell now for thirty
cents, but these are raised in the
mountains and come down in a few
hours, that traveled several days
and put some money in several men s
pockets, and right here I want to
ask why more people do not make
preserves or pickles out of the wa
termelon rind? I am going to tell
you how, this is the wav our moth
ers used to make up the preserves
and I hope you will add a few jars
to your collection of sweets. One
does not have to make the preserves
the day the melon is eaten, nor even
the next day. To preserve the rind,
peel and cut the meat away. All
sorts of artistic or grotesque de
signs may be carved out of the
rind. I once saw fish with pins and
scales, even the eye carved. Place
in lime water, using half a pint of
lime to each gallon of water. Let
the lime settle and drain off the
water before putting in the rind.
Let it soak in lime water twelve
hours. Then put in fresh water and
soak two hours. Make a syrup by
packing in sugar, pound of sugar to
a pound of rind, and after twelve
hours Iqoil until the rind is clear. If

you have a quarter pint of the best

Your grocer has the lemons and
any drug store or toilet counter will
supply three ounces of orchard

sweetly fragrant lotion into the face,

see how freckles and blemishes dis

It is harmless and never irritates.
