When and How to Spray Fruit
Trees
N. E. H., Brooklet, Ga.. writes:
I wish some information in re
gard to spraying fruit trees. My
trees are badly infested with
blight and San Jose scale. Any
information you can give me
will be appreciated.
Spraying to protect trees against
injury from the San Jose scale
should be done primarily when the
trees are dormant, during the fall
and winter season. In cases of bad
infestation two applications should
be made, one in the fall and one
in the spring. The spring applica
tion should be made just before the
buds swell. When this is done it
will tend to prevent scab. Practical
ly all fruit trees should be sprayed
once a year with a lime sulphur so
lution testing 4.5 degrees Baume.
You can hardly spray effectively
against blight. This disease is best
controlled by the use of the pruning
shears and knife. A-ll infected twigs
or branches should be cut off at
least six inches below the point of
infection. During the dormant sea
son you should cut out all the
cankered spots on the trunk. These
wounds should be painted with Bor
deaux mixture and a disinfectant.
You should have a disinfecting solu
tion and thoroughly disinfect the
knives or pruning shears after each
operation. This is a matter of the
utmost importance.
Spraying fruit trees so as to ef
fectively prevent their being dam
aged by insects and disease is not a
very difficult matter. One must,
however, have a satisfactory outfit
with which to do the work, and
the work must be done very thor
oughly. A great many people imag

Potash for
Side Dressing
For side dressing cotton, corn and other
Southern crops,
200 pounds Kainit, or
125 pounds 20 per cent Manure Salt, or
50 pounds of Muriate of Potash,
furnish the same amount of Actual Potash
which is so profitable in preventing cot
ton rust and in increasing the yield of
cotton, corn and general crops.
These are the three Standard German
Potash Salts that have been used for gen
erations to great advantage in the South.
Having planted the crop, one cannot
afford to let it starve. A good side dress
ing may make all the difference between
success and failure.

; there is nothing further to be gained
■ by additional spraying. In this they
I are very much mistaken. One might
i as well not spray at all as to half
do the work. If you are not willing
to spray throughout the season it is
not worth while to begin the work.
Disinfecting sweet Potatoes for,
Bedding
J. K. E.. Milltown, Ga., writes:
I Please tell me how to disinfect
sweet potatoes that are to be
bedded for draws. I want to
disinfect several hundred bush
els and would like to know tile
quickest and best way.
In the spring of the year when
you get ready to bed out your sweet
potatoes, proceed as follows;
Make a solution by dissolving one
ounce of corrosive sublimate in
eight gallons of water. Only wood
en vessels should be used for disin
fection. Remember, that > corrosive
sublimate is a deadly poison. There
fore, it should be handled with the
greatest of care and kept out of the
reach of people and animals. After
the potatoes have been treated in the
manner indicated, rinse them off in
pure water and lay them in the sun
to dry. This treatment does not de
stroy the stem-rot fungus within the
potato, but it Avill kill any spores
which may be'on the surface. Do
not use the same solution of corro
sive sublimate more than two or
three times as it loses its effective
ness. If you cannot secure corro
sive sublimate, the potatoes may be
immersed for five minutes in a solu
tion of formaldehyde made by adding
one pint of commercial formalin to
thirty gallons of water. Remember
in conclusion, that you should pick
out for treatment only clean, healthy
potatoes that show no external evi
dence of injury or abrasion of the
skin. Pick out only potatoes that
are clear and free from dark spots,
the presence of mold or other .evi
dence of fungous diseases.
THE LASTING QUALITIES OF
NITROGEN CARREERS
J. M. A., Winston, Ga., writes:
How long does sulphate, of am
monia and nitrate of soda last in
the soil? What is the price fixed
by the state chemist for 1921 on
cottonseed meal, sulphate, pot
ash and soda? Will it pay to try
to poison the boll weevil for
cheap cotton
Sulphate of ammonia and nitrate
of soda will last long enough ih
guano to stipply the needs of aver
age Georgia crops. The fact that
the nitrogen they contain becomes
quickly available to plants when
placed in the soil does not mean that
they are immediately exhausted from
the soil, as many people seem to
think. We use more or less of both
of these materials in our fertilizer
formulas every year. We have used
them with satisfaction for many
years past, so we speak of their de
sirable qualities in the direction in
dicated from practical experience
and observation as well.
If any prices for fertilizing ma
terials have been fixed by the state
chemist for the year 1921, they have
not come to my attention as yet.
If situated in the middle of a boll
weevil district, I would try the
poisoning of cotton this year. One
must undertake the use of calcium
arsenate in an up-to-date, practical
fashion to secure the best results. Jf
it is properly used, it will prove
beneficial and will help in control
ling the depredations which the boll
weevil would otherwise commit in
our cotton fields.
USING GBEEn’mANUKE IN A
PECAN ORCHARD
B. L., Chicago, 111., writes: I
have a pecan grove ten years old
in Dee county. Georgia. I wish
some advice in regard to plow
ing under cowpea vines for fer
tilizer in this grove. Is it bet
ter to plow them under green or
wait until they have ripened?
In plowing under cowpeas, one
should be governed by the following
suggestions:
Do not turn them under except
when the ground is in good condition
to plow. Do not turn them under
until the vines are in good condition
to make hay. It is not difficult to
ascertain when this time has arrived,
as the leaves on the lower parts ot
the vines will begin to turn yellow
as well as the tips of the pods.
When this stage of development is
reached .proceeed with the work as
rapidly as possible. If they have
made rank growth and are in a tnn
gled condition, cross disking may
sometimes be necessary to cut them
up so the plow may turn them un
der satisfactorily. A plow drawn by
a tractor will generally bury the
vines most satisfactorily.
The cowpea is a legume and fur
nishes one of the best and cheapest/
means of supplying orchards with a'
desirable cover crop and a sufficient,
supply of vegetable matter and ni
trogen. When cowpeas are turned
under, you should roll the land im
mediately to compact it. This will
restore the movement of the subsoil
water to the surface of the ground.
Then harrow the ground so as to
provide a dust mulch. If you proceed
along the lines indicated, you will
find that you«can use the cowpea to
excellent advantage for manur
ing.
COTTON RETARDED

0. S. BBT SAYS
Crop conditions for the week end
ing May 7 are covered in reports
just received by the bureau of crop
estimates, United States department
of agriculture, from its field statis
ticians in the different states.
Corn. Planting has been checked
in the eastern and central states by
the cold, wet weather which has also
retarded growth in the southern
states, necessitated considerable re
planting and delayed germination of
late plantings. The soil is in ex
cellent condition in lowa and plant
ing will begin several days earlier
than it did last year.
Wheat: The growth of winter
wheat has been checked somewhat by
the recent wet, cold weather, but the
condition is still generally favorable
and the outlook for a good crop prom
ising. The cold, wet "weather has
diminished the danger of Hessian fly
damage, but there are some com
plaints of the crop taking on a yel
low tinge. The greenbug is unusual
ly active in Oklahoma, and cutworm
damage is increasing in Montana.
Harvesting will soon begin in Ari
zona. Early sown spring wheat is i.p
to a good stand and looks very
promising. Seeding is nearing com
pletion. Some damage from heavy
winds is reported from parts of lie
Big Bend district, Washington.
Oats: The seeding of oats is near
ing completion, but warmer weather
is needed for proper germination and
good growth. Some thin stands are
reported and considerable reseeding
has been necessary in the central
states due to frost. Some complaints
of the crop turning yellow are re
ceived from Wisconsin and Illinois.
Fall sown oats are being harvested
in Florida.
Cotton: The planting, replanting
and cultivation of cotton has been -e
--tarded by the cold, wet weather.
Many stands are poor and growth is
generally slow. Much planting still
remains to be done in Arkansas,
Oklahoma and Texas. Damage from
lice is reported in North Carolina.
Potatoes: The planting of' early
Irish potatoes in the northern section
of the country was delayed some
what by the unfavorable weather con
ditions, but it now in progress. The
cool, wet weather has also retarded
growth generally in the central and
southern regions, delayed cultivation
and caused some injury. Good seed
appears to be plentiful. The trans
planting of sweet potatoes is pro
gressing in the southern states and
|a good acreage is generally planned.
Fruit in General: The crop o,
stone fruits, pears and early apples
will be very small throughout a
broad, central belt of the country due
to the freezes. The crop of late up-
Iples will depend largely upon the
iJune drop, and a heavy drop is fear-
I ed. A fair crop of most fruits, ex
icept cherries and perhaps grapes, is
I expected in New York. The citrus
crop of Florida is deteriorating due
Ito drought. The crop of berries in
different, parts of the country does
not seem to have suffered much frost
injury, but strawberries are being
! damaged by the recent cool, wet
■ weather.
Live Stock, Hay and Pastures:
i Live stock are generally in good con
dition although some losses of young
pigs and lambs are reported due to
inclement weather. Some heavy
losses of cattle and sheep are report
ed in Arizona and New Mexico due
to the poor condition of the range.
Hog cholera appears to be increasing
in Illinois, but very little is report
ed elsewhere.
Clover and alfalfa are recovering
from frost damage and other hay
crops look well. Old clover is be
ng damaged by weevils in many
sections of Illinois. Harvest of first
.crop of alfalfa is completed in Yuma
I Valley, Ariz., and will soon com
'mence in Salt River Valley.
Pastures, with a few exceptions,
| are generally good. Rain is badly
j needed in New Mexico and Arizona.

I am going to marry in June and (
I want to know what would be suit
able for a bridal dress. White is
my favorite. We are going to run
away and go to a large city about
forty miles away ‘from home to get
married. Would white be suitable,
and then what color would you choose
for a traveling dress? We are going'
to Jacksonville for our honeymoon.
My parents know this and don’t ob
ject. We will run away as that is
stylish. Please advise me what col
ors would become me. I am a brun
ette, dark brown hair and eyes, a
clear but dark complexion. Please
advise, JOLLY JOE.
White won’t look very fresh
—after you have run forty miles.
But if lt’s yous favorite, of
course yop might wear it all
right. YoU can marry in white
if you like and for traveling use
a sport costume such as a dark
jersey coat and striped cloth
skirt to match, with a sport hat
to correspond. Or, you can wear
a dark taffeta silk dress, blue
or brown, or black, or you can
travel in a navy blue crepe de
chine or a dress of dark silk
material. Either will be appro
priate.
I am coming to you for some ad
vice. My husband ran away with
another woman and I have a di
vorce. My first cousin wants to
marry me. Do you think it right
for first cousins to marry and what
is the law about it in Florida? I
have two children. I am 23 years
old and he Is 22.
Sincerely yours,
EVELYN G.
If there isn’t a law against
first cousins marrying in the
state of Florida, it should be.
There is a law against it in
most states. Honestly. I don’t
see how you can do it. It is
much like marrying one’s broth
er. However, you should know
best what you wish to do, and
if the contract suits you, it cer
tainly ought to please others —
you are the one to live with him.
You might write to the city
clerk in any city or town in
Florida and find Out.
I am a lonely girl of fifteen, com

anyone else, and I know he loves me.
He has asked me to marry him and 1
promised to marry him in April. Do
you think it will be all right for us

Why don’t you write to the boy

Please print this in The Journal, and
thanking you for your advice.

Yes. your weight is sufficient
for your height. You will take
on more flesh when you have
grown older. Blue, in all shades,
is your color, also violet, and
corn color; lavender combined
with deft blue, or Alice blue, is
very pretty, also green, in all
shades would look well on you.
Try to be engaged in work,
study, or household duties when
he calls, let some one tell him
you beg to be excused. Or try to
be away from home when he
calls. Avoid him as much as
possible. Say, you are glad you
have added to his pleasure, or
it is nice of him to say so. You
may say you have enjoyed his
company also, and trust you may
see him again sometime.

Chick Problems
From the ends of Florida to the
forests of Maine, if one reads the
poultry journals, there is the cry
"What can I do to save my baby
chicks?” I have scores of letters
from readers of The Atlanta Jour
nal each one asking the same thing.
After they get chilled there is noth
ing to do, they may get over it, but
they will never be the same again.
Young chicks qan stand a lot of
heat, but they will not recover from
chilling and make thrifty young
sters. The only chicks that I have
lost have been in the brood that I
told you were almost drowned. They
seemed to do nicely for a week then
‘one by one they went until ten of
them left this cold bleak earth. The
others seem as hardy as any in the
yard, but they will go to the frying
pan as soon as one will make a dish
for two of us.
Did you ever have a chick to cry
out in pain? You may have ex
amined it and found nothing, but the
end of that chick was not far off
and if you had examined its bowels
when it died you would have found
that a hardened bit of the yolk had
never been absorbed into the chick’s
body as it should have been and that
caused congestion. Many times our
hearts run away with our common
sense and we think that we must
feed the little things, and some such
result is the consequence.
"There never was a flock how
e’er well tended.
But one dead lamb was there.”
And it is the same with young
chrcken’s, and the sensible thing to
do is to:
1. Keep chicks of a size in a run
by themselves, with their mothers.
2. Keep their drinking vessels
clean and in the shade.
3. Grease their heads every three
weeks, in the late afternoon.
4. Use a strong solution of stock
dip; mine is a quart of dip to three
quarts of water and a pint of coal
oil, with a spray or old broom wet
the coops inside and out once a
week. Saturate the ground under
the coop and then let the sunshine
do the rest.

rant little country girl and takes
her to the city, where his aris
tocratic mother gives her any
thing but cordial welcome. Char
lotte does not fit in very well in
the new life because she does
not do any of the things that
Tony has learned to enjoy, and
he is determined not to give up
anything that he has enjoyed be
fore his marriage. •
CHAPTER XIX
Charlotte Qoee Adventuring
TONY gave no more thought to
their meeting with Nick Fow
ler. He had told Charlotte his
opinion of the man and that
was sufficient in his, mind to take
care of any chance meetings. He
did not reckon, however, with the
fact that Charlotte was lonely and
very young. She longed for good
times just like any other normal
young girl, she wanted people to like
her and this forbidden acqi aintance
of Tony’s had seemed to like her
very much. Therefore, when she
met him by chance a few days later
she could not altogether disguise the
fact that she was glad to see him.
He smiled at her, that half-weary
smile of his, and the sun glinted on
his iron gray hair as he bared his
head to stand before
"Well, Mrs. Harriman, so you
haven’t forgotten mer”
"Os course not.” And her little
girl giggle showed small white teeth
like pearly corn kernels. Nick
thought he had never seen any
thing so fresh and young as this
girl, and yet he Jiad thought that
other day that her face in repose
was sorrowful. It had piqued and
troubled him, for he figured that
Charlotte could not be more than
nineteen or twenty, and she seemed
very much in love with Tony. Nick
did not know Tony very well. He
was, of course, aware that Tony was
active in the doings of the younger
set, and inasmuch as he had never
heard of Charlotte he suspected that
she didn’t belong. She hadn’t the
assurance that the girls in Tony’s
set possessed in such abundance.
She was apparently out of another
world, shy and sweet and girlish,
and he wondered if Tony appreciated
her.
Charlotte had no reserves, she had
shown her pleasure quite plainly
when she had spied him in the
crowd. Nick had seen. that. He felt
old and jaded beside her as they
walked along, and as for Charlotte,
she had thrown herself into the ad
venture with all her heart, forget
ting everything that Toney had told
her the other day in the pleasure of
the moment.
Nick laughed at the things she
said and drew her on carefully to
talk of herself. He made funny re
marks about the people on the
street and she responded with an
ese that surprised herself.
“But where were you going?” he
asked when they had walked a couple
of blocks.
“Adventuring!” she flung at him
gayly, glancing up at him sidewise,
then suddenly conscious of the fact
that she was speaking rather freely
to this man who was after all a
stranger, she flushed and said more
gravely, “Nowhere at all, just walk
ing. ”
“Suppose we have an adventure,
he suggested. “1 have an absurd
idea that I’d like to take you to the
circus, but unfortunately the circus
doesn't come to New York till
spring. Have you ever been to the
circus?” , . . -
She shook her head. No, but I
know I’d love it.”
Again Nick looked at her narrow
ly, thinking of the pleasure that
must be Tony’s in taking this girl
about for the first time, of watch
ing her eyes widen, of listening to
girlish enthusiasm. He did not stop
to think that a young man's Pleas
ure is nearly always selfish, that he
thinks of himself first, and can
rarely enjoy anything through the
pleasure of another.
“I know what we'll do, he said
almost eagerly. “I’ll take
something that is next best to the
circus.” . .
And so he piloted her over to Sixth
avenue and to the biggest spectacle
New York boasts. He shrewdly sus
pected that Tony had thought this
place too bourgeois for a sophisticat
ed New Yorker, and he guessed right
Charlotte had seen several drawing
room comedies and some polite, mel
odious musical plays, but the huge
spectacle of the biggest show in
New York thrilled her as Nick had
thought it would. She watched it,
enthralled, chattering like a magpie
between the acts and eating the
chocolates that Nick had houaht her
with the enjoyment of a child.

presence of pit game blood, the same
sign being present in Brown Leg
horn. and often in Silver Wyandottes,
which are known to carry this val
uable blood line. Do not attempt to
cull Reds for color until the chicks
are well feathered out.”
Every year I get letters from read
ers of this paper telling me what
some neighbor said. It reminds me
of the question one woman asked me
about her neighbor. It seems that
this neighbor has no chickens, but
when she did raise them she fed
twenty-five on the cold bread and
table scraps, that it is a shame to
waste money buying feed for them.
There were two solutions to hei’
statement, one that she was wasteful
in ordering her meals, the other
that she was not a success at. rais
ing chickens. In the Rhode Island
Red Journal some time ago, the
question was asked how to feed
chickens some cheap way, an<t the
answer was to swipe the feed and
not get caught. Mr. Harrison said
wartime economics are already being
forgotten, hut one can rbmember
that suspenders were saved by wear
ing belts. Some food saved by
cilhching up the belt occasionally,
but in his case after a few tight
enings the belt could be dispensed
with and a leg band used. Growing
chicks are the same; they require
nourishing feed and plenty of it at
all times.
Thievery Increases
As Begging Drops,
Paris Figures Show
PARlS.—There '8 80 per cent less
begging in France than previous to
1914, according to police statistics,
but theft has increased in about the
same proportion. The police explain
this phenomena by saying that the
temptation constantly held out to the
gayly inclined to enjoy themselves
appeals to those who cannot afford
it as well as to those that can.
Criminality arnqjig women and
children has notably increased.
Among a hundred persons found
guilty of crime before the war there
were twelve women and five min
ors; there are now thirty women and
fourteen minors in every hundred
convicted.
Besides the temptation to have a
good time, the police say sensation
al moving pictures have had a good
deal to do with the development of
crime among woman and children.
Cases of assault and battery and
other offenses which are largely
credited to alcoholism have decreas
ed. This is attributed to the suppres
sion of absinth and to abstemious
habits acquired when war-time res
ttrictions made it impossible to drink
at all hours of the day.

tite. At times I could hardly do my housework. I got medicine from the
doctor but it did not help me. I saw Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound
advertised in a newspaper and took it with good results, and am now able to
do my housework. I recommend your medicine to my friends and you may
publish my testimonial.”—Mrs. Chester A. Ball, R. 15, Fayette, Ohio.
An Illinois woman relates her experience:
Bloomington, 111. “ I was never very strong and female trouble kept ma
bo weak I had no interest in my housework. I had such a backache I could
not cook a meal or sweep a room without raging with pain. Rubbing my
back with alcohol sometimes eased the pain for a few hours, but did not stop
it. I heard of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and six bottles of ft
have made me as strong and healthy as any woman ; and I give my thanks to
it for my health.”—Mrs. J.A.McQuitty, 610 W.Walnut St.,Bioomington, 111.
The conditions described by Hrs. Cassen, Mrs. Ball, and Mrs. McQuitty will
appeal to many women who struggle on with their daily tasks in just such con*
ditions—in fact, it is said that the tragedy in the livesof some women is almost
beyond belief. Day in and day out they slave in their homes for their families
—and beside the daily routine of housework, often make clothes for them
selves and for their children, or work in their gardens, all the while suffering
from those awful bearipg-down pains, backache, headaches, nervousness, the
blues, and troubles whidh sap the very foundation of life until there comes a
time when nature gives out and an operation seems inevitable. If such
women would only profit by the experience of these three women, and remem
ber that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is the natural restorative
for such conditions it may save them years of suffering and unhappiness.
There is hardly a neighborhood in any town or hamlet in the United States
wherein some woman does not reside who has been restored to health by this
famous medicine. Therefore ask your neighbor, and you will find in a great
many cases that at some time or other she, too, has been benefited by taking it,
and will recommend it to you. For more than forty years this old-fashioned root
and herb medicine hasbeen restoring suffering women to health and strength.
