THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER AND THE MODERN HOUSEWIFE
AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR.,ANDREW M. SOULE k
A Native Spring Growing Vetch
R- L. J. s., Commerce, Ga.,
t Writes: I am sending you a
sample of a plant which has
about covered my lawn and is
crowding out the blue grass.
Some say it is vetch. If you
can tell me what it is and how
to get rid of it, I will appreciate
There are a number of native le
gumes which grow up in Georgia
and thrive for a short space during
the spring. Among these is the one
you have sent. It is sometimes dif
ficult to identify a plant of this
character after the specimen has
cried for several days or when it is
not in full bloom. However, this
looks very much like the partridge
Pea. This grows more or less com
monly in north Georgia. It does not
appear to have any special economic
value, but is often met with in waste
Places. It sometimes outcrops on
lawns to a considerable extent.
We do not think you should have
much difficulty in controlling this
legume if you clip it frequently. We
think this will kill it out, and that
your blue grass will eventually come
on and cover the land. Os course, it
is possible that the stand of blue
grass may have been lost by permit
ting it to be shaded by the partridge
pea for too long a period of time.
Broom Com as a Substitute Crop
for Cotton
C. O. P., Jefferson, Ga.,
writes: I wish to know some
thing about broom corn as a
# money crop to take the place of
cotton. How should it be pre
, . pared for market and should the
seed be threshed? Do you think
it will l a suited to this section?
Broom corn can be grown success
fully on ai> 4 land that will produce
field corn satisfactorily. The spac
ing: ar *. the cultivation should be
practically the same, planting
should b- delay'd until the ground
is thoroughly warm. The stalks
should be left about 5 to 8 inches
apart in , e drill row, and the rows
should be made about 4 feet apart.
It ordinarily tak .bout six pounds
of broom corn seed to plant an acre.
There are vu.ious strains of this
crop on the i..arket, But probably
what is known as the Illinois Stand
ard variety is as good as any.
The brush of this crop is used, as
you doubtless know, for making
brooms. Its value depends on its
being harvested when the color is
still a bright green. Curing it as
promptly us possible, so as to pre
vent its becoming stained, adds ma
terially to the market price of the
brush. It is desirable to tet it har
vested during a dry spell if possible,
so as to kc p the brooms from be

the brush becomes very brittle and
makes a broom of poor quality on
that account.
This crop has not much value for
feeding purposes, so you must ex
pect to secure your revenue from it
primarily from the harvesting and
curing of the brooms. There \ls a
very good demand for broom corn
and the prices have ben exception
ally good. There is no reason why
this crop should not be cultivated to

Growing Bur Clover After Tobacco
T. J. C. Fowlstown, Ga.,
writes: We have seven acres of
land that has been grown in
shade tobacco for about ten
years. This plat has been fer
tilized every year with fifteen
tons of stable manure, one ton
of cotton seed meal and one
half ton of 8-4-4 fertilizer per
acre. We expect to remove the
shade when we harvest the crop
about July 1, and wish to sow
the land in some winter clover.
What variety would you recom
mend and about when should it
be seeded?
Bur clover is undoubtedly one of
our best annual clovers. It is hard,
however, to get started on most of
our soils. It also winter kills some
times, especially in the northern
part of the state, and it is almost
certain to disappear if heavily
grazed during the spring. Normal
ly it passes the winter uninjured
and reseeds itself during April and
May. With care it yields well on
good land and furnishes an abund
ance of grazing for live stock. It is
relished by hogs and by cattle and
horses, though occasionally animals
of this class refuse to eat it.
This clover does not germinate
readily, due in part to the hard seed
coats. For this reason special con
ditions must be provided where one
wishes to secure a good stand
of bur clover. The best practice is
to broadcast four to six bushels of
seed per acre. If planted in rows of
course a smaller amount will suffice.
Seeding in rows is more certain, es
pecially if yard manure and acid
phosphate are used as well. Usual
ly enough inoculating material is
carried in the dirt on the seed to in
sure its being properly inoculated.
We recommend early spring seed
ing, that is, Just as soon as the seed
can be obtained. We think your
suggestion -relative to handling this
matter is excejlerft.
We see no reason why you should
not plant cowpeas in the manner in
dicated. We think it desirable to get
the cowpeas off the land as early in
the fall as practicable so as to give
the clover a ehance to make a sat-
isfactory development in the late
fall and early spring.
Keeping Recorls of Dairy Cows
W. H. C., Galloway, Fla.,
writes: We have a herd of forty
dairy cows—Jerseys, Guernseys
and Holsteins, and we wholesale
the milk. I wish any informa
tion you can give me in regard
to keeping records of the cows,
and testing and weighing the
milk. We are anxious to secure
the best results possible from
our cows.
It is of the utmost importance
that you keep a record of each in
dividual cow in your dairy herd.
You can do this quite easily by
ruling out a sheet by hand which
leaves space for each day of the
month and contains a sufficient num
ber of lines to enable you to set
down the weight of the morning's
milk and evening’s milk. At the
end of the month you have a com
plete record of the production of
the cow. It will be a comparatively
simple matter to get down the cost
of the feed and labor, and after
charging off all costs and compar
ing the sale price of the milk you
can readily determine what profit
you are making from your opera
tion. Regular milk record sheets
are printed by dairy concerns and
can be purchased at a relatively
small cost.
Next you should purchase a Bab
cock testing machine. A hand ma
chine will prove satisfactory, but
one operated either by a steam tur
bine or a small motor is more ef
fective. It is a simple matter to
take' a composite sample of milk
from each cow time to time and ‘reat
it for butter fat. Companies han
dling this equipment will give you
full directions as to operating the
tester and taking the samples.

POLIWBOSSES’
SCARBOROUGH, N. Y.—“ The one
man boss system in politics will
have to crumble away gradually be
fore woman suffrage.’’
That is one of the things women
may do in politics, says Mrs. Frank
A. Vanderlip, wife of the noted
financier, and New York state chair
man of the League of Women Vot
ers.
Mrs. Vanderlip laughs at the sug
gestion that woman suffrage has
failed because politics have not been
revolutionized overnight.
“I never looked for the mllleni
um,” she said. “Intelligent women
all over the state are waking up to
the fact that if they all study and
exchange their e: sciences with
each other, they can master the in
tricate and difficult subject of gov
ernment in a few generations.
“Choosing the candidates and get
ting 100 per cent of the women vot
c. ; '.o the polls are a very small
I art of the duty of women who are
willing to work at being good citi
zens. Women don’t rush for public
office. They have influenced the
national platforms a little.
“But this is coming. And slowly
th- p',..e.’ of political machines will
break down. Many women are go
ing into the parties too independent
of action to fit hito the machine
system well. Machines are species
of autocracy that, like all autocracy, I
is based on ignorance or indifference
or both. The League of Women :
Voters is accomplishing one of its '
great aim*: in penetrating this in
i'fference.”
Mrs. Vanderlip said there was ;
small likelihood of women trying to i
.1 uild their own p litical machine, or >
that a woman political boss would ;
rise, because women will always
look ultimately to the human eeds,
and will not go after selfish power
single-mindedly enough.
“Instead of fightr g the devil with
fire, we are fighting him with educa
tion,” she said.
“In opposing selfish machines, we
do not oppose the party system,
which we consider of the greatest
value. Two well-balanced parties
create wide dicussion of principles
which result in pu’.dic opinion based
on thoughtful consideration. Most !
of the members of the L. W. V. be- I
long to political parties.”
Mrs. Vanderlip thinks that worn 1 |
en will in time be able to improve j
the efficiency of government be
cause they have, perhaps, the cour
age of ignorance and they have nc'
tried political reform and failed, as
have many high-minded men.
“Besides,” she said, “we shall not
be hampered by political ambitions.”

SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON
For May 14. Il Chron. 30:1-27
BY DR. MARI ON McH. HULL
Golden Text: “God is gracious and
merciful, and will not turn His face
from you, if ye return unto Him.” 2
Chron. 30:9.
Hezekiah was one of the most in
teresting characters in the Old Tes
tament. His outstanding character
is attested by the fact that he is
mentioned by the Jewish historians
as being one of the three kings who
lived up to his privileges as a serv
ant of God; David and Josiah being
the other two. There are other in
teresting facts about his life, how
ever, that contribute to the fascina
tion of his story. His father (Ahaz)
was only twelve years old when he
was born, and his son was only
twelve years old when he (Manasseh)
came to the throne. If Hezekiah
was possibly the best king of Judah,
Ahaz was the worst—unless it was
Manasseh. Certainly Hezekiah had
the worst father and the worst son
known to the royal time. Not a very
potent argument for the influence of
heredity so far as spirituality is con
cerned. As one old saint put it,
however: “My father’s piety cannot
be entailed, and that is so much the
worse for me. Neither can my im
piety be transmitted by heredity,
and that is so much the better for
my son.” No, God means every
man to stand alone, and stand or
fall as his relation to Jesus Christ
may be. All we can do for our chil
dren is to teach them by precept
and example to know Jesus Christ
as Savious, Lord, and Life; and then
trust to the promises of God con
cerning them. The final decisioa
must be left to them. ,
Hezekiah’s reign was marked by
many notable things that contrib
uted to the making of his life as one
of the most interesting in history.
He was a contemporary of Isaiah
and of Micah; both of whom had a
great influence on his life. In the
sixth year of his reign the northern
kingdom of Israel held before the on*
slaughts of the powerful Assyrian
kings, Sargon being the final suc
cessful invader. Eight years later
was the invasion of his own king
dom bby Sargon’s successor, Sen
nacherin, whose complete rout has
been immortalized by the English
poet. In that same year his serious
illness was rebuked in answer to
prayer and the application of a fig
poultice, and its otherwise fatal ter- i
mination stayed. And in that same j
year also the embassy from Mero- |
dach-Baladan was received and be- ;
came the occasion for Isaiah’s proph- I
ecy that it should result in Judah’s i
captivity to Babylon (which came i
120 years later).
Another interesting fact in his i
life was that apparently he had no
son to succeed him; and that if this
is true, when he became so ill that
his death was foretold, the line of
David would have been broken, and
God’s promise of a Messiah as the
son of David would have failed.
course, he may have had a son who
died afterward. ,At any rate, his son,
Manasseh, who succeeded him, was
not born until three years after this
illness.
Hezekiah’s success as a construc
tive statesman also marks him as a
most interesting character. He in
herited from his father an impover
ished treasury; an undefended fron
tier; an oppressed peasantry, and
overburdensome taxation to pay an
nual tribute to his father's con- j
querors. Ahaz was so impious that |
the Holy Spirit has'pointed the fin
ger of scorn at him, saying: “This
is that Ahaz!”
He had broken down the altars of
God; had put ou the fire on the al
tar; had desecrated the temple, and
closed its doors; had degraded the
priests, and had gone so far into
idolatry that he had made his own
children to pass through the fires
burning to Moloch.
For Hezekiah to come to the
throne amid such surroundings and
then fortify his cities, encourage his
people, muster a great army, accu
mulate vast wealth; conquer the age
long enemies of his people (the Phil
istines), and throw off the bitter
yoke of the most powerful nation
in the w’orld then was no small feat,
and entitles him to a place in Ju
dah’s hall of fame.
The Great Revival
The event, however, that marked
Hezekiah’s reign as the most nota
ble of all was the great revival that
occurred in the early part of it.
The chronicler says that in the first
year, the first month, and the first
day of his reign, he began the work
of cleaning up the tmeple, consecrat
ing the priests, and establishing
again the worship of God in the
temple of God. The details of this
are given in the 29th chapter and
constituted the preparation for the
great passover feast about which
our lesson treats today. It took two
weeks to remove the filth from the
holy place. Then they offered a sin
offering for the king, the sanctuary,
and for the people.
The burnt offering represented
the complete dedication of them
selves to God. “And when the burnt
offering began, the song of the Lord
began also.” Then thank offerings
were brought in such abundance
that the Levites had to be called in
to assist the priests, the work be
ing too great for them alone. And
the thing was done suddenly.” It
was a coup d’etat. In newspaper
language, it was a scoop.
How did this all come about? How
could Hezekiah do all of this on the
first day of the first month of the
first year of his reign? Well, it was
because under Isaiah’s ministry he
had been preparing for it. If you
will compare 2 kings 16:2, 17:1, 6:18,
1, 19, you will discover that Heze
kiah was co-rex with his father for
at least two years before Ahaz died.
During that time he was making his
preparations, so that on the first day
of his reign as sole king he was able

to do suddenly an act that from its
nature and suddenness would arouse
the best that was in the whole na
tion.
The sudden move inspired the na
tion so that Hezekiah called for the
celebration of a great feast and what
one was more appropriate than the
Passover. Invitations were broadcast
over the whole territory of Judah
and as far north as Dan, urging the
people to come to Jerusalem and
keep the feast. The message was va
riously received. Some humbled
themselves to come to Jerusalem; the
majority laughed the messengers to
I scorn, and mocked them. But, never
theless, the messengers had done
their duty, and the fewest was kept.
So many came and so many offered
that they had to extend the time an
other week. The number of animals
offered seems almost incredible. But
there was great rejoicing, for there
had not been the like since Solo
mon’s time.
And why should there not be re
joicing, for Hezekiah had led his
people back to God in whose pres
ence there is fullness of joy. *
The revival, however, did not end
there. If it had it would have re
sembled too many of the modern
kind. It made the people realize the
evils about yiem and determine to
put them away. Ahaz had built an
heathen altar on every corner in
Jerusalem. The high places and the
groves were given up to the most
sensual practices in the name of re
ligion. All of these the people now
demolished.
For nearly 800 years the brazen
serpent which Moses had lifted up
in the wilderness had been an object
of respect. Recently it had been
made an object of worship. The peo
ple had fallen into ophiolatry, or ser
pent worship, one of the basest and
most degrading religious cults.
That Hezekiah should have had
the courage to break in pieces the
most ancient and valuable relic of
the people shows the genuineness of
that great revival. In the church of
St. Ambrose in Milan we have seen
what is said to be this self same
brazen serpent. The Romish tradi
tion says that the fragments were
collected and made into the brazen
serpent which is now regarded by
Romanists with veneration. This is
highly improbable, of course, since
the very zeal which caused it to be
broken in pieces would not have
stopped until these were totally de
stroyed.
Let us look back a moment and
see how Hezekiah brought the na
tion back to God, for truly our own
nation is in need of just such a
service. He cleaned up the temple;
he had offered a sin offering for him
self and the people; the burnt offer
ing—representing the complete dedi
cation of the offerer —followed, and
the song of the Lord began then.
A thank offering followed; and then
the invitation went out broadcast
and the great feast followed.
Are not these just the steps we
need today? Cleansing must begin
at the house of God—in your own
body as the temple of the Holy
Spirit; ah! how it has been defiled!
To accept Jesus Christ, who was of
fered once for all as the sin offer
ing. Then a complete dedication of
the life to Him —and the song of re
joicing begins. Thanksgiving neces
sarily follows. Too often it stops
here, but the next step must be
taken —a world-wide invitation to
come back to God.' What matters it
if some mock the messengers? Some
will come; and there will be great
rejoicing.

OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O.THOMAS
, CANNING VEGETABLES
“Mrs. Thomas: Please give us a
chat on how you can your tomatoes;
also kraut. lam not very successful
with either, and I’m sure others are
like myself. Thanking you for your
many good chats.”
Another letter writer tells me that
her beans are ready to be canned,
and her tomatoes are blooming. Our
beans are just out of the ground. A
beating rain came when we planted
most of our seeds a d we must plant
again.
First and foremost, there is a time
table for processing vegetable. After
you put your vegetables, or fruit in
your jar, or can, and put the top
on it you must, under no circum
stances lift that cover. There may
be a vacant space, but the air has
been sterilized and any fresh air is
sure to cause ruin. That is why we
blanch our vegetables, it causes
shrinkage, and then if they are prop
erly put into the jars there will not
be much more space than you allow
ed when you packed them. Blanch
ing means putting them in boiling
water and then into cold. Processing
means the cooking after things are in
the jars or cans.
Clean jars, clean covers that really
fit, new rubbers of the quality that
stretch apd do not break, carefully
prepared vegetables and directions
faithfully followed, and there is no
reason for failure. It is not luck,
it is nothing but faithfully looking
after the details.
Beans must be gathered and pre
pared just as one does for dinner.
Too young, they are insipid. Wash
clean, string carefully; I don’t cut
mine unless I am afraid they are a
little older than they should be.
Place in a clean flour sack and drop
into rapidly-boiling water, cover and
boil seven minutes; if a little old, ten
minutes. Take the bag out and
plunge into cold water, move them
around in it, and then rapidly put
them in jars or cans. Take the jars
out of hot water that they have been
in while you were blanching the
beans. Let each one be filled and a
sterilized knife run down the sides
to get the beans compactly placed;
give a good shake to settle them,
then fill with boiling water. A tea
spoonful of salt must be put on the
top of the beans before you pour
the hot water on them. Put on the
cover, take it and the rubber out of
hot water. If screw tops are used,

Questions Answered
1— Q. Is a bulge or ridge a sign
of oil?
A. A bulge or ridge is no indica
tion of oil except where such a fea
ture is due to arching or bowing up
of the rock strata. Commonly, ridges
or hills are due to the degrading ac
tion of streams whose courses may
or may not be determined by the
way the rocks are tilted.
2 Q. Is it true that the weasel is
useful to the farmer? If so in what
way?
A. Weasels live almost entirely on
live animals whcih are pests to the
farmers. Mice, ground squirrel?,
rabbits and chipmunks are favorite
food.
3 Q. Where is the Battle of Flow

A. While battles of flowers are
held in connection with many carni
vals, Villefranche sur-Mer, the great
French Mediterranean winter resort,
has an event known as the Battle

4 Q. What is the name of the
“little grandmother of the Russian
revolution,” and how old is she?
A. Madame Brsshkov«kia, who is
known as the “little grandmother of
the Russian Revolution,” is now
eighty-two years old.
5 Q. Who first trained wild ani
mals of different kinds to perofrm
together?
A. Karl Hagenbeck was the first
showman to train large carnivorous
animals of different species to per
form together. He also introduced
a new way of confining animals in
outdoor menageries. In his zoolog
ical garden at Stellingen, a suburb
of Hamburg, there were no gratings
nor wires about the space occupied
by groups of large mammals, broad
moats of water being employed to
confine them.
6 Q. What is a limequat?
A. The limequat is a cross between
West India lime and the kumquat
orange. It is very much like the
lime in quality and flavor and has
the hardiness of the kumquat. The
lime is sensitive to cold to a degree
that makes the production of the
fruit uncertain in Florida.

give one turn, and if the clamp sort
only one clamp. As fast as you fill a
jar put it in the warm water, keeping
the water only as hot as the jars
till all are in, then let them cook two
hours. If you have no canner, a
lard can with a wooden bottom with
holes bored in it and some coarse
cloth folded and put so that the jars
will not touch each other, and do not
count time till the water* really be
gins to boil, and it must come to the
edge of the tops. After two hours
take up and fasten as tight as you
can, turn them upside down and let
them cool, you can then screw them
tighter. Turning them up proves
the tops, and if one leaks, attend to
it, and process thirty minutes.
Tomatoes, peaches, beets are next.
The plunge in hot water, then in
cold, makes it easy to remove the
skin. Tomatoes are best canned
whole, and there may not be quite
juice enough, so have some cut
and pour that juice in, for the pure
food law will not let you sell them if
water is added. I put a heaping
spoonful of sugar or salt to each
quart packed. Blanch them only a
minute or so, just enough to peel
them. Place carefully in the jars
after you have taken out the core
or stem. I saw a woman spoil beau
tiful tomatoes by “gouging” out the
stems with a dull, round-bladed
knife. The real paring knife only
costs a quarter and is useful every
day in the year. Adjust the rubbers
and tops and process twenty-two
minutes.
Peaches need a cup of sugar to
the quart. They are merely dipped
in boiling water and are processed
fifteen minutes. Os course, they are
peeled and cut before they are
packed.
Corn, okra aiid tomatoes: Chip-the
okra in thin pieces and boil. Peel
tomatoes and cook. When both are
tender, mix two quarts of okra and
three of tomatoes, then add two
quarts of the tender corn, cut from
the cob as it is added, and a table
spoonful of salt to each half gallon
of the mixture. Let all boil fifteen
minutes, put in thd jars and process
another fifteen minutes. When cold,'
test all the tops to be sure they are
tight, and keep in a cool, dark place.
I put mine in the box the jars came
in. You can always have good soup
when you have this mixture.
If you like you may omit the corn
and serve the okra and tomatoes on
lettuce leaves with mayonaise.
