AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Th* Solution of th* Problem
What’s th* matter? Something Is
radically wrong. We are all busy
criticizing the other fellow. We
have finally created a vicious circle
of public distrust. The brotherhood
of mankind seems to have been lost
sight of for the moment. The fine
idealism which characterized us
during the war has sunk into oblivi
on. We need to wake up and crawl
out of the abyss of pessimism into
which we have fallen. The saving
grace of the Anglo-Saxon has always
been bls ability to laugh. It is high
time that we begin to do this very
thing. The end of the world has not
come by any means. We are hurt,
we are wounded, but after all it Is
a surface Injury. It has not as yet
struck home to the vitals of our in
dustries or our agriculture. It will
not reach the heart and nerve cen
ters of our country If we face to the
front and forward march.
The war is over, but we still suffer
from its effects. We have forgotten
already that which should ever be
sacred to the memory of Americans
and uppermost in their hearts—the
fine sacrifice, the splendid spirit and
the devotion of the soldiers who
fought, bled and died for us, on the
fields of Flanders and northern
France. The slogans of these men
were “Carry On,” "Over the Top,”
"Are We Down-Hearted?” and the
answer to the last sentiment in par
ticular was thunderous “No!” that
shook the confidence out of the Ger
man and sent him cringing back to
his own country thoroughly beaten.
If there ever were a set of men who
had a right to be down-hearted it

The “Charm of Alabama”
Calls the Farmer to Mont
gomery County
The “.LIME LAND BELT” of the
south la' the choice section of Ameri
ca and( Montgomery County, Ala.,
is not telly the most attractive sec
tion oflthe famous LIME LAND
BELT, hut it is a county where the
farm land owner pays less than 20
per cent of the tux levy, enjoys a
magnificent system of improved
highways, covering the entire coun
ty, and has six great trunk line rail
ways leading to the best markets.
In addition to fertile soils, long
growing seasons, numerous clovers
and grasses and the best pastures,
Montgomery County enjoys the best

was our soldiers at the Inception of
the conflict into which they were so
hurriedly thrown. They had had nei
ther experience nor knowledge sf
war. Their equipment was meager.
They were fighting more than 3,000
miles away from home, in a foreign
country, where every object was
strange. They were pitted against an
experienced, capable and merciless
foe. They waded through trenches
up to their thighs In muck and slush,
they lay out on frozen ground, they
met a veritable hail of fire from Ger
man guns such as men have never
been called on to face before, and
yet they sang “It’s a Long Way to
Tipperary.” “Pack Up Your Trou
bles In Your Old Kit Bag,” "Over
There,” “Keep the Home Fires Burn
ing.” And when the issues of the
war were joined in battle they cheer
fully laid down their lives for the
cause, that the folks back home
might live on in the even tenoi- of
their ways. I wish I could paint this
picture so that it would sink into
the inner consciousness of every in
dividual and make us know, and feel
and realize the true significance of
real sacrifice. If so. conditions
would change in our country and In
our state immediately.
We have not been called oh to face
any such issues as the boys who
wore the khaki. We have not been
called on to give up much of any
thing that is really essential to our
happiness or our welfare. Our in
flated money-bags have been broken
open and some of the evanescent
wealth they contained let out. Our
wild joy-ride of extravagance has
been curtailed in some measure, but
after all we have escaped very light
ly. What we need now is to recon
secrate ourselves to work and to
place duty and sacrifice above selfish
ness. We need to re-establish the
brotherhood of mankind, each to
bear the ills and afflictions of the
other. Let us all pull together for
the good of the qause. Confidence in
ourselves, in our countrymen, and
in our country is what we need at
this moment above everything else.
The time has come to about face,
eyes front, and forward march. A
great and glorious future Iffes just
yonder over the crest of the hill.
Let us be rational and normal. Let
us banish pessimism from our midst
and replace it with constructive op
timism. If we do d.his we will have
done more to solve the problems by
which we are confronted at this mo
ment than we can hope to achieve
by any other agency.
Do not gather from this conclusion
that I do not think the, situation is
trying and difficult, that It will not
call for the exercise of a wonderful
amount of patience, 1 forensic skill
and statesman-like efforts on the part
of all the interests of the individual
units which make up the United
States. We can accomplish nothing,
however, without co-operation, and
so I plead for the re-institution of
the principle of co-operation which I
know will Insure the attainment of
the results we seek to achieve.
The war has brought about new
conditions. The old world in which
we grew up has ceased to exist. Now
economic problems, principles and
relationships have come into being.
We must adjust ourselves to the
new situation which has arisen. We
are now a part of the world, whether
we wish to be or not. We will have
to meet and deal with all the na
tionalities of the earth. The time
has passed when the (farmer of this
country is unconcerned about what
the peon of Mexico, the coolie of
China, Japan or India, the fellah of
Kgypt, and the Hottentot of South
Africa are doing. Peoples of this
class are now producing many of the
crops with which we are concerned.
As an industrial nation we expect to
barter and trade with all of them,
and this in turn will affect material
ly the future of American agriculture
and industries dependent thereon.
I The peoples of the countries enum
-1 erated produced over 7,000,000 bales
of cotton last year, or about 45 per
cent of the world’s supply. We no
longer dominate and control the cot
ton crop. This is an economic align
ment •which vitally concerns and af
fects the welfare of every indivi
dual in the south, whether he lives
in the city or in the open country. It
represents a condition for which we
must find an adequate solution. r t
is to be brought about by trying to
force the price of cotton up, or by
such intelligent cultivation and han
dling of the crop that will enable us
to completely outdistance the pto
ducers of other lands and at the same
time materially enlarge the profits
accruing to the cotton planters of the
south? I imagine this last phase of
the situation will call for considera
tion which we have not hitherto
Lhought it necessary to give.
No doubt it will seem incredible
to many that we should be planting
strains of cotton on extensive acreages
in this state which produce a staple
ot less than seven-eights of an inch
in length and are not tenderable on
contracts in the cotton exchange on
that account. Why do we permit or
continue a practice that nullifies our
ability tc compete with people < f the
character I have indicated? We can
replace such cotton by varieties that
give a much higher yield, that pro
duce a satisfactory staple, and that
mature so early we can grow them
with success and profit in the face
of a severe boll weevil infestation.
Why, as a matter of fact, should we
grow a short staple upland cotton
where we can grow a long staple up
land co*ro:i that will yitio about as
much as the short staple cotton, ma
ture lint 1 5-8 inhees in length, and
sell for two to three times the price
of ordinary upland cotton? Why
should we permit our cotton to de
teriorate in th; fields? jjotton that

middling sold for 16.75 cents a pound.
The same variety o? cotton when al
lowed to stand in the field until No

When picked on December 15 it sold

When picked on January 5 it was
below grade and sold for 3 to 4 cents.
Millions of dollars worth of what
>vas once good cotton is allowed o
deteriorate under our present sys
tem of handling until its value has
depreciated as much as 400 per cent.
We also fail to classify our cotton
properly as we pick it. It is very
common for good middling worth
±2.75 cents to predominate in a bale
which also contains good ordinary
I worth 6.5 cents. The bale of cotton
is naturally sold at the lowest grade.
We have been so rich and pros
perous in this country that we have
not felt the necessity of giving at
tention or consideration to matters
ol this character. We also plant all
sorts of diseased cotton in our fields.
The annual loss in this state from
wilt disease, anthracnose, damping
off and root rot may be very conser
vatively stated at $25,000,000. ifSuca

abuses are to be corrected. When

Early Forage Producing Crops
T. 8., Suwanee, Ga., writes: I
wish to sow an acre ot' good stub
ble land to something that will
produce the quickest-growing nu
tritious forage. Please advise
as to what I can sow now with
out, danger of frost to have for
age by June 1 to 15? Do soy
beans make good winter feed
for both horses and cattle and
what is an average yield?
Millet would probably be one of
the most satisfactory crops you
could plant for hay at this season of
the year. It should be ready to cut
60 to 90 days after planting. We
think it is rather early to plant
millet yet. It should be safe to get
it in the ground, however, any time
after the 10th of April. What is
known as Tennessee millet or Hun
garian grass would be the best strain
to plant. This crop is grown very
extensively for hay in Tennessee. In
that state it is seeded with cow
peas. We hardly think It desirable
for you to plant cowpeas with it un
der the circumstances indicated In
your letter as this would delay the
maturity of the crop considerably.
Millet hay is objectionable if al
lowed to stand too long before it is
cut. The seed contain a principle
which sets on the kidneys of horses
and mules and over-stimulates them.
If cut in the dough stage, however,
this difficulty will not be experi
enced. It is well, of course, m feed
ing millet hay to watch the animals
and in the case objectionable re
sults are developed reduce the
amount or cut it out altogether for a
few days. If you follow our sugges
tions, however, we do not think you
will have any trouble of the kind in
dicated. . , X ,
Sudan grass might be planted any
time after April 15 in drills, say -4
to 36 inches apart, using frp™ » 8 -
pounds of seed per acre. This makes
a very good hay. It may be cut frpm
one to three times in a favorable
season. It should be fertilized if
you desire to secure a heavy yield.
It belongs to the sorghum family. It
is a non-saccharlne variety. It re
sembles Johnson grass very much
in appearance, but it is an annual
and therefore very easy to eradicate
You can sow it with cowpeas or
plant it by itself. Sorghum may al
so be used with cowpeas, however,
we prefer a crop that is finer stem
med than sorghum.
Soy beans make a good winter
feed for cattle. They are fair for
horses and mules. You cannot teeo
a legume though to this class of
stock with Impunity. They con
tain too much nitrogen for this pur
pose. A hay for work stock may
consist of one-tihrd of one-fourth
soy beans. The balance should be

grass, or anv other forage which is
bright and free from dust.
Soy beans will yield anywhere
from 10 to 20 bushels of grain in
north Georgia, and from one up to
three tons of cured fodder. rhe
variety selected is an important mat
ter in the cultivation of this crop.

Lime as an Amendment for Cotton
P. F., Summerville, G a.,
writes: A neighbor and myself
have burnt a kiln of lime of
about fifty tons. Is it worth,
anything as a fertilizer tor cot
ton and corn and how should it
be used?
Lime is a corrective of acidity in
the soil. It also brings about con
ditions in the land which permits
bacterial life essential to the wel
fare of legumes to thrive th erp’"-
It improves the tilth of heavy lands,
causes organic matter to decay, and
supplies an essential element of tood
in the form of calcium to legumi
nous crops. These are its principal
functions in the soil. It should be
used in the rotation, therefore, in as
sociation with legumes such as cow
peas, soy beans, alfalfa, beans, or
other similar crops. It will not bene
fit your corn or cotton materially
to use lime on the land where they
are to be cultivated. Lnne will ap
parently help cotton more than it
will help corn. ,
We would broadcast this material
on land where you desire to use it
at the rate of one ton and upwards
per acre, and harrow it into the
soil. It would not be a desirable
practice to use it under the- drill
row with the crops mentioned. Even
if you use lime you will find it neces
sarv to use comTYiercial fertilizer. A
standard formula suitable for your
section should contain about 3 pei
cent nitrogen, 8 per cent phosphoric
acid, and 2 per cent potash Under
existing conditions you might ’eave
the potash out. Any carriers that
will furnish these elements in the
cheapest form may be used with
advantage.
Trucking 1 Near a Large City
J. H. H.. Alpharetta, Ga.,
writes: I am thinking’ of truck
farming some this year. I live
twenty-five miles from Atlanta,
but there is a fine road all the
wav. Do you think it would
pay me this far away and what
should I plant?
The truck makes it possible now
to move the products of the soil
long distances at a comparatively
small cost. It is best,* however, m
the case of operating - a truck farm
to establish it as close to the con
suming center which will constitute
your primary market as possible, bo
I would advise you to get a location
as close to Atlanta as circumstances
will permit.
Lands for trucking should, of
course, be varied in character, -ou
need some rather sandy, light soils,
and some heavy red land. Crops are
adapted to varied soil types. More
over, the sandy lands will mean
much earlier crops than the red
lands and in trucking the largest
profits come from placing your prod
ucts on the market as early in the
season as practicable. I would not
think it desirable to attempt to es
tablish a truck farm at this season
of the year. Practically all the
spring crops you expect to sell
should now be out of the ground. If
undertaking an enterprise of this
character I would do so with the ex
pectation of putting out what might
be called a summer and fall garden.
To this end I would prepare my land
and get it in shape so I could seed
crops in July. August and Septem
ber that would mature and be ready
for market say in October, Novem
ber, December and then on through
the year.
You can, of course, plant sweet
potatoes now, and possibly corn and
beans. They will not come on the
market as early as those put on by
some individuals who have their op
erations well in hand, but if you can
secure a low lying piece of soil that
will retain well you could
probably sell these crops to good
advantage later in the summer.
One engaging in the trucking busi
ness should endeavor to establish a
line of customers and then serve
them throughout the year. To this
end you must run, as it were, an all
around farm. You can often get
friends and neighbors to grow some
crops which you can market. More-
• ver, they may have a surplus some
imes which you can buy and sell to
dvantage.
I have been told that the cost of
erating a truck varies from 12
•nts to 18 cents a mile. If this is
- ue you will see that getting twen
v miles nearer your market or there
- bout would be a greater advantage
•nd will save you a great deal of
money.
When Food Boils Dry
When the food you are cooking on
the stove boils dry do not add wa
ter to it. Plunge the dish imme
diately into cold water. Then after
a few moments your the contents

cooking. In this way there is little
danger that the food will taste, even
thought it has been badly scorched.

body near willi a had heart? Well, of course there was, so she took
her heartful of happiness an.d went a-visiting. There was a sick old
lady who couldn't see out of doors at all, she took her a bunch of
wild posies. She thought of a lonely little child with a gentle heart
and she took her a wee small kitten to cuddle, an<l so on through
the day, and what do you think, when she went home and sat on
her door step to think about the day, she found that she had more
happiness than she started with. Lovingly,

other letter. And thank you, cousins, for
the letters I received. I couldn’t answer
them all, but thank you just the same.

and I wish you could see some violets I
have. Say, Laura Belle Moon, what has be
come of you? 1 wrote to you last. Write
to me again.

I am coming to you for advice.
I am 22 years old, have black hair,
black eyes and fair complexion;
weigh 135 pounds: am 5 feet and 5

widower, 33 years old, and he has
two children. We have been going
together two years. He says he loves
me dearly, and says he can never be
happy without me, and his children
seem to be crazy about me. But my
parents object to my marrying him,
as he has the children. They would
rather I marry another younger man
that I have been going with for
some time. But I can’t love him like
I do the older man, although the
younger one has lots of money, but.
the other is a far better Christian.
I know this to be true.
Will you please advise me in the

Perhaps the girl doesn’t love
you as she once thought she did.
And if such is the case it seems
useless to pursue her in the hope
that she will regain her old af
fection for you. Be friendly to
ward her at all times, and let

I am 14 years of age. Am .1 old

a girl say when a boy tells her he
loves her, or asks her if she loves
him. if she loves him or not? Please

“CLTIE KID.
You may have a few boy
friends, but you arc still too
young to begin to have regu
lar beaus.” Socks belong only to
very young - children; 8 years
should be the limit. Love be
tween young boys and girls does
not amount to anything serious;
therefore, what they say to each
other doesn’t count, because, be
ing youthful, perforce they musi
be foolish, and all questions per
taining to love should be taken
lisrhtly, and answers in the same
vein. You are not serious, so
no advice is needed.

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
When Vicksburg; Fell
As Memorial day—April 26 is
near at hand, it is a timely opportu
nity to remember some of the great
crises in Confederate history.
When the news reached Washing
ton city that Vicksburg had fallen
—the victory for federal troops at
Gettysburg was also received.
General Grant sent the following
dispatch from Cairo, the nearest
point where a telegraph office could
be reached. Here is the dispatch
he sent to that point, by Captain
W. M. Dunn, of his staff:
"The enemy surrendered this morn
ing. The only terms allowed is their
parole as prisoners of war. This I
regard as a great advantage* to us
at this moment. It saves probably
(several days in the capture and
leaves troops and transports ready
for immediate service. Sherman,
with a large force moves immediately
on Johnston to drive him from the
state. I will send troops to the relief
of Banks and return the Ninth Army
Corps to Burnside.”
In his memoirs. General Grant
writes: “This news, with the vic
tory at Gettysburg, lifted a great
load of anxiety from the minds of
the president, his cabinet and the
loyal people all over the north. The
fate of the Confederacy was sealed
when Vicksburg fell. Much hard
.ighting was to be done afterwards,
and many precious lives were to be
sacrificed, but the morale was with
the supporters of the union ever
after.”
“Pemberton and his army were
kept in Vicksburg until the whole
could be paroled. The paroles were
in duplicate by organization, (one
copy for each. Federals and Confed
erates. and signed by the command
ing officers of the companies by
regiments.) Duplicates were madu
for each soldier, and signed by each
individually, one to be retained by
the soldier signing and one to oe
retained by us. Several hundred re
fused to sign their paroles—prefer
ring to be sent north as prisoners
to being sent back to fight again.
Others again kept out of the way,
hoping to escape either alternative.
“Pemberton, appealed to me in per
son to compel these men to sign
their paroles, but I declined. It also
leaked out that many of the men who
had signed these paroles intended
to desert and go to their homes, r*
soon as they got out of our lines.
Pemberton, hearing this, again ap
pealed to me to assist him. He want
ed arms for a battalion to act as
guards in keeping his men together
while being marched to a camp in
instruction, where he expected to
keep them until exchanged. This re
quest I also declined. It was pre
cisely what I expected and hoped
that they would do. I told him I
would see to it that they marched
out of my lines in good order. By
the 11th, just one week after the
sui-render, the paroles were complet
’ed, and.the Confederate garrison
inarched out. Many deserted and
fewer of them were ever returned to
the ranks to fight again, than would
have been the case had the surren
der been unconditional, and the pris
oners sent to the James river to oe
paroled.”
. It was a gloomy day for us in
Georgia when the news reached us.
General Pemberton was a disappvlnt
ment, to say the least that can be
said of him as a military command
er. He was openly accused by re
turned soldiers as disloyal to the
Confederacy. He is never exploited
on Memorial day as a hero of tlje
dead Confederacy. Such is life! And
such is war! And with such incom
petent officers the Confederacy went
out, into the depths of disaster and
gloom. Says General Grant again:
“At Vicksburg 31,600 prisoners were
surrendered, together with 172 can
non, about 60,000 muskets and a
large amount of ammunition. The
small arms of the enemy were far
superior to the bulk of ours.” We
were jjot taught that lesson in the
recorns which had been published.
“After the surrender, I author
ized all colonels whose regiments
were armed with Inferioi- muskets to
place them in the stack of captured
arms, and replace them with the lat
ter. A large number of arms, turned
into the ordnance department as cap
tured, were thus arms that had really
bee used by the Union army in the
capture of Vicksburg. . . Upon the
surrender of the garrison of Vicks
burg, there were three things that
demanded immediate attention:
First, to send a force to drive the
enemy from our rear and out of the
state. Second, to send reinforce
ments to Banks at Port Hudson to
complete the triumph of opening the
Mississippi river from its source to
its mouth. Third, to inform the
authorities at Washington and the
north of the good news, to relieve
their long suspense ad stregthen
their confidence in the ultimate suc
cess of the cause they- had so much
at heart. . . Johnston heard of the
surrender of Vicksburg almost as
soon as it occurred, and Immediately
fell back on Jackson. On July 4
Sherman was within ten miles sf
Jackson, and on July 11 was close up
to the defenses of the city and shell
ing the town. This siege was kept
up until the morning of the 17th,
when it was found that the enemy
had evacuated during the night. The
weather was very hot, the roads
dusty and the water bad. Johnston
destroyed the roads as he passed, aijd
had so much the start that pursuit
was useless, but Sherman sent
Steele’s division to Brandon, 14 miles
east of Jackson.” Again: “I wrote
to Sherman: ‘lmpress upon the men
the Importance of going through the
state in an orderly manner, abstain
ing from taking anything not abso
lutely necessary for their subsistence
when when traveling. They should
try to create as favorable an impres
sion as possible upon the people.’ ”
What a pity it was that Grant was
not in chief command when Tecum
seh Sherman crossed the state of
Georgia, from Dade to Chatham!
Again listen to Grant. “Sherman

was ordered hick to Vicksburg, and
his troops tool, much the same posi
tion they had occupied before from
the Big Black to Haines’ Bluff.” Gen
eral Grant endeavored to get permis
sion to go on to Mobile, but Halleck
interposed and he could not go. He
was so much impressed with the
importance of that movement that
Grant renewed his request about the
first of August, asking only the
help of the navy in the effort to
capture Mobile.
Both requests were refused. Said|
Grant, “So far as my experience'
with General Halleck went, it was!
very much easier for him to refuse 1
a favor than to grant one. But this;
was no favor. It was simply in my
line of duty.” It is not probable that
Pemberton got off with over 4,000
of his army, and those were in a
very demoralized condition.”—Count
up a little.
Thirty-one thousand, six hundred
were captured.
Four thousand were left to join
Johnston’s army after Pemberton
completed his final work for the poor
old Confederacy! How fresh in my
mind were the occurrences of that
fateful crisis! Dr. Yandell (who was
medical chief of General Albert Sid
ney Johnston’s army when the latter
was wounded at Shiloh and died from
a bullet on the battle field), wrote
frequently to his wife, who was
an inmate .of our house for ten
months after the fall of Nashville,
Tenn.
How well do I remerber our anx
iety to get letters from Dr. David
Yandell —the keen suffering of Mrs.
Yandell when letters were delayed,
and the deep gloom that fell upon
us when the bad newspaner story
was confirmed by Dr. Yandell’s pri
vate confidential letters to his wife
and three children, in our house at
the time!
General Grant was correct, the Con
federacy went down—when Vicks
burg and Gettysburg fell before the
federal armies.
All the loss in blood and treasure
after those defeats were sacrificed
in vain!

Lister, 608 Frank Street, Adrian, Mich.
It is said that middle age is the most trying period in a woman’s life, r !
owing to modern methods of living not one ■woman in a thousand passes throi
this perfectly natural change without experiencing very annoying symptor .
Those smothering spells, the dreadful hot flashes that send the blood rushi •'
to the head until it seems as though it would burst, and the faint feeling t
follows, as if the heart were going to stop, those sinking or dizzy spellsare
symptoms of a nervous condition, and indicate the need lor a special medic;: .
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is a root and herb medicine es; < •
cially adapted to act upon the feminine system. It acts in such a mam
as to build up the weakened nervous system and enables a woman to p;
this trying period with the least possible annoying symptoms.
Women everywhere should remember that most of the commoner ailmei ’
of women are not the surgical ones—they are not caused by serious display
ments or growths, although the symptoms may be the same, and that is wr ■
so many apparently serious ailments readily yield to Lydia E. Pinkham
Vegetable Compound, as it acts as a natural restorative and often prever j
serious troubles.
