AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE 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. • Georgia As an Agricultural State ,A . correspondent writes: Please tell me if you can how .. ..Georgia stands in agricultural and live stock production, in ■'; comparison with .other states. .

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. I SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON August 29—1 Kings 1; 1 to 3; 15 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!” PEACH & APPLE TDETCe AT bargain prices I TO PLANTERS Small or Large Lots by Express, Freight or Parcel Poet, Pear, Plum, Cherry, Berries, Grapes.

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. I -lURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1920 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. GRACE C. CROWELL. 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 unril a tremendous rainfall August 18th the lowering clouds ■ eitner threatened or fulfilled their prom ises. There have been bud “army worms” and ’most any other 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.
