Planting Cotton After Hairy Vetch
M. N., Philomath, Ga., writes;
I have some land on which cow
peas were sown last summer and
cut for hay, and in the fall the
land was sown to hairy vetch.
About April 1 I expect to turn
the land with a tractor and
broadcast about 1,000 pounds of
guano per acre, and harrow the
land with a tractor, and then
plant cotton in the drill and give
it a sack of soda to the acre as
a aide application. Will the
cotton grow oft as fast if the
ec fertilizer is broadcast as if it
were put down with the drill?
In growing cotton under boll wee
vil conditions, the following points
should be taken into consideration:
The best results are likely to fol
low the planting of this crop on
ridge land. This will call for libernl
fertilization. But these soils dry out
so much more quickly than moist
bottom lands that weevil damage is
likely to be less severe on this type
■of land than on that which we for
merly devoted to this crop. The
cotton rows should be closer togeth
er than formerly, and two plants
should be left a hoe-width apart in
the drill. This no doubt is much
thicker planting than you have been
accustomed to follow in the past,
but We believe you will find it the
most acceptable procedure to inau-
Ufurate. Early preparation for the
■ceding of cotton under boll weevil
is desirable.
f It is important that a firm seedbed
be obtained. Therefore, .plowing
should be done as early in the sea
son as possible and the seedbed al
lowed to become firm and compact.
Personally, we believe a mixture
of 500 pounds of acid phosphate, 100
pounds of manure salts and a sack
of cottonseed meal or some other
carrier of nitrogen will prove satis
factory. We would mix these ma
terials together thoroughly and
broadcast them over the land. Our
observation and experience lead us
to think that possibly a little better
A BEDTIME STORY '
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS
Yowler’s Patience Conies to an End
He'll win who does not go too fast;
Whose patience doth the longest last.
---Danny Meadow Mouse.
Yowler the Bob Cat is nothing if
not patient when patience may get
him what he desires. Just as Black
Pussy the Cat at Farmer Brown’s
will patiently watch for the longest
time at a Mouse hole, Yowler w’atch
ed the old tin can in which he knew
Danny Meadow Mouse was hiding.
It was as still as if there w r ere no
living things near. Yowler was per
fectly still save for his stub of a
tail. That twitched from time to
time, but it made no sound. Danny
in the old can was equally still. It
was a question of whd had the most
patience.
Yowler was the one who gave up
first. You see, Danny knew that his
life might depend on his patience,
and that made all the difference in
the world. At last Yowler could
stand it no longer. He began to won
der if somehow that Mouse might
have got out without hie knowing it.
He walked over to the old can and
sniffed at the opening in one end.
That Mouse was still in there I
The very fact that Danny Meadow
Mouse had been more patient than
he upset Yowler. His eyes blazed
with anger. He suddenly lost his
tamper’, just as Gray Fox had lost
his. “Come out of there,” he growl
ed, “Come out and save me' the
trouble of getting you out!’’
Danny didn’t accept the invitation.
At the sound of that growl he knew
that Yowler the Bob Cat had driven
away Gray Fox. The knowledge
didn’t make him feel any happier.
But he didn’t give up hope. He
knew that it would be no easier for
Yowler to get him out than it had
been for Gray Fox, so he kept per
fectly still.
Now. Yowler’s paws are much big
ger than the paws of Gray Fox. He
couldn’t get more than his toes in
side that opening, as he soon found
out. Then .in a sudden burst of an
ger he struck that can and sent it
flying. Spitting and snarling, he
bounded aftejr it. Poor Danny
Meadow Mouse! He had been knock
ed about sadly by Gray Fox, but
that was nothing to the way he was
knocked about by Yowler. You see,
Yowler was so much bigger and
stronger than Gray Fox that he
knocked that can harder and further.
Poor Danny Meadow Mouse! He
wab rolled over and over until he
dizzy. Ho was thrown from
of that can to the other un-
. illWre had no breath left. He was
bruised and sore from his nose to
the roots of his little, short tail. But
he was still safe, and that meant
everything.
My, such a temper as Yowler did
have! He would spit and snarl as
he batted that old can about. Now
and then he would stop and glare at
that old can, trying to think of some
way of getting that Mouse out. Then,
failing to think of away, he would
give way to his temper again and
send the old can flying. By this

j result will be secured in a dry sea
son by putting the fertilizer under
the drill row at the time Os plant

the fertilizer is desirable on the char
acter of land we have described as
being best adapted for the cultiva

How to Meet Damage by Pecan
Weevil
J. T. 8., Mena, Ark., writes:
I have a pecan grove of 161
acres, the trees ranging in age
from five to twelve years. Last
year I lost fully 75 per cent of
my nut crop frem the pecan wee
vil. I would appreciate it if you
con'd give me some control
measure to prevent the further
destruction of my pecans.
The pecan weevil often does a good
deal of damage to mature nuts. The
eggs are laid therein, and when the
worm hatches, it naturally feeds on
the kernel. The hole, made in the
nuts is the evidence by which wee
vil damage may be recognized with
certaintv. Nearnes sto hicktory
trees is a cause of infestation.
The control of this insect is diffi
cult. The best suggestion which can
be offered at this time is to gather
the infested nuts from the trees and
off the ground and bprn theafri. They
can, of course, be treated with car
bon disulphide ofi the same basis as
grain is treated. Burning ‘the nuts
is not a difficult thing to accom
plish, however, and, of course, it is
a thoroughly affective treatment.
The difficulty involved in this sug
gestion is to get the damaged nuts
off the trees and off the ground. The
more that escape destruction the
larger the number of weevils to re
infest the orchard another year. It
is considered very good practice to
turn into the orchard after har
vesting is completed. In many in
stances they will clean up and de

Wilson Letter, Lauding
Robert E. Lee, Read
At Highway Meeting
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—One of
the last letters written in the White
House by President Wilson, dated
January 5, 1921, was read by Henry
Roberts, president, of the Dee High
way association, at the fourth an
nuai convention here Tuesday.
In indorsing the coast tn doast
paved highway as a memorial to
Robert E. Dee, President Wilson
wrote:
“It is certainly most appropriate
that there should be a national me
morial to General Dee. It is one ot
the happy circumstances of our na
tional life that the bitterness of the
Civil war has disappeared and that
General Dee is now recognized as a
man worthy of the admiration of
the whole nation. Certainly his
heart was true to the nation, and
he did all in his power to heal the
wounds, which were made by the bit
ter civil strife in which he was
obligeS to take part. It is a hapny
old saying that sectional lines are
obliterated only' by the feet that
cross them, and this great highway
should contribute to that much-to
be-desired result.”
Henry Roberts was re-elected
president by the board of directors
and Dr. S. M. Johnson, general di
rector.

father takes Tlip Journal and I enjoy read
ing it very much. I suppose most of you
cousins are going to school now, I am, and
enjoying it fine. My teacher’s name is Mr.
White, and 1 like him fine. What do you
cousins do for pastime? I have been read
ing gome good books, although “The Girl of
the Lumberlost” and “Aikenside,” are my
favorites. 1 would like to ask a favor of
you cousins, if any of you have the book
“When Love ffpurs Onward,” will you please
send it to me, the book was ■ written by
Mary J. Holmes and I would appreciate get
ing tlie book very much. How many of
you cousins were members of the Calf club?
1 was and won a prize at the Turner County

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
all. admit me into your Jolly band? I have
been reading the letters in The Journal for
quite a while, but have never written be
fore to see if I might be admitted. I have
lived on the farm all my life and don't
think I could be contented anywhere else.
One has no much privilege on the farm.
I guess you all have been going to cane
grindings, as that is the order of the day
here. It sounds good to hear rain falling
tonight, as it has been dry quite a while.
Well, it’s not long till Christmas and I
guess we all will be glad, for it is usually
the merriest time of the year. Cousins,
don’t you all think The Journal is a good
paper? I surely enjoy reading it, for it
has some sucl* good contributors to it, and
Aunt Julia is such a good aunt to conduct
the Letter and Question Box. Well, I will
let you all guess at my age; it is between
twenty-four and thirty. My birthday is Oc
tober Ist. Would like to correspond with
some of the cousins, as 1 get rather lonelv

Dear Friends of the Council: It is now
the holy twilight hour—my favorite hour of
the day. I am sitting at my west window,
where I can view the glorious west, whose
gorgeous colors are so enchanting. Slowly
the rich splendor of this lovely sunset
changes. Slowly the bright coloring—the
rich purple and red and gold—fades to a
more somber hue. A lone star appears. The
majestic pines stir gently in the late .after
noon breeze. All nature seems to respect
this quiet, peaceful hour. Who can de
scribe its beauty? Always at this time of
day I am happy, contented. God seems
nearer; life seems dearer. I would that
the quiet, peaceful, happy contentment that
at this holy hour fills my soul might ever
be present. Winter is here—generally the
dullest season of the year—but here in our
mild southern climate it is almost like
spring. It is true that many of the trees
are bare, but to. look at them I do not have
the impression that they look cold and life
less. For, without their dense foliage, can
the cheerful, friendly sunshine not more
easily penetrate their branches and warm
the chilled earth? And will not the fresh,
green leaves of early spring be more deeply
appreciated after a few months of winter?
Not all the birds have flown away. There
is never a day that I do not see some of
the little friends. Just now a tiny, timid
fellow is hopping about on the vine trellis,
giving me a small serenade with his sleepy,
half-interested chatter. But he is ever
watchful lest his enemy—Snowball, my black
eat—should approach too closely. Almost
every day I can see a stray butterfly or
two. They do not all seek a warmer cli
mate, but remain under cover somewhere
near on cooler days and on the days that
are warmer they never fail to come to the
pot plants tliat do not cease blooming even
in the coldest months of the year. Indeed,
winter need not be dull nor dreary, for what
is more cheerful than a room with flowering
plants and a cheery, crackling wood fire in
an open fireplace, with the whole family
gathered around?
Does dad ever appear quite so contented
as when, on a winter evening, he leans
back, half asleep, in his favorite chair,
with his feet stretched out toward a fire,
almost forgetting the pipe he has in his
mouth? Mother sits In a corner and reads,
or sews. Busy fingers that are never still,
yet never seem tired! There are books for
the big brothers, books of adventure or his
tory. that all hoys should read, or even
books treating of agriculture for the farmer
lads. Books or fancy work please the
young misses, while the small children play
with the tops that Santa lias latelv brought
them, or romp and play as they will. And—
what do we older girls enjoy more than
working on pretty things for our hope chest?
I wonder how many of the cousins have
begun one.
The new year has only begun. How many
of tiie folks made new resolutions? Like
"Hambone” said, “I jes’ dug up some o'
mail ole ragged las' ycah's ones!''
Through the council I have gained two
of the dearest friends a girl ever had, and
sincerely hope I may make others through
it. Folks, I shall be very glad to receive
letters from as many of you ns care to
write. I have written before and have told
my age. hut to the one guessing my age
and birthday, or the nearest correctly, I
will send a small reward.
Peggy, I enjoyed your letter to the Coun
cil very much, and. of course, found your
message to me. Thank you. Write often:
your letters are good. I shall be expecting
letters from many of the cousins, and hope
that I shall receive as many as one letter
from each state, anywav. Sincerelv yours,

A. C.—l have no recipe for cit
ron preserves, but have asked the
cousins to send one for this depart
ment, here is my rule for ambrosia:
Remove the pulp carefully from
I 6 oranges, add small package O‘s co
j coanut or half of fresh cocoanut.
I Mix lightly and sweeten to taste. A
small can of grated pineapple and
a few nuts makes this a delicious
dish. You must be careful in hand
ling your oranges or your ambrosia
will be too moist, also if you use
the canned cocoanut, drain it. Put
the cocoanut on top as well as in
your ambrosia, dotting the top with
blanched almonds.
Mrs. R. H. Harris, Roxboro, N. C.:
My rule for shaking potato salad al
lows a great deal of latitude. I mix
according to my crowd, when we
have our usual five for Sunday
night supper I use five medium
size potatoes, these I cut up rather
fine, generally I have a few green
peas left from Sunday dinner; if I
do I put these in; but it is not
necessary. One medium-size onion
cut very fine, three pieces of cel
ery also cut fine; this I mix with a
French dressing, remembering that
potatoes need to be salted to taste;
when this is done,l cut up a tomato,
adding it carefully, so as not to
bruise. Then I am ready for my
Mayonnaise. Be careful in adding
your dressing, so that your salad is.
not too moist; put your leaves of
lettuce on your platter, pile up your
salad, put a spoon of Mayonnaise on
top, and around the edge another
tomato sliced thin. You can add
boiled beets to this, and while it is
not necessary, it adds to its taste
and attractiveness. Will give you
rule for chicken salad in next week's

Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: May T'
come in for a short chat? I have been an
interested but silent reader of the Letter
Box for several years. I must say the let
ters grow better and better. May I say a
few words on the “Value of a 1'al?” A pal
is in tlie diamond, pearl and ruby class—
very rare and very precious—but different
in this way: fine and scarce as a REAL
pal is, intrinsic value does not enter into his
possession. A pal comes, homehow. and
then he stays and sticks and gives. A pal
loves, forgives, forgets, sympathizes, under
stands—above all, understands. You don't
have to explain or make excuses to tlie cne
who is your pal. A pal alwcys comes io
you when you need him most, and he isn't
scared away a bit if the whole world de
serts you. He (or she I >■> there to stay,
because, don't you see. he is your pal, and
you want him, and he wants you. And
that explains everything. A pal doesn't
keep things back. A pal Is honest, above
board, open and expressive. A pal can
make mistakes and they are just mistakes.
I but if he isn't your pal, then they arc
i blunders instead, and you may resent and
I be unhappy and sadly sorry, but* somehow,
with a pal, you love right through every
thing and are the stronger bound for the
very weaknesses that sometimes hide strong
feelings unexpressed. A pal is always
around—in spirit and In feeling. If it
rains, lie is your pal; if it cyclones, he is
just the same as when the stm shines
brightest and warmest. I shall ‘win all
things worthwhile because I have a pal
when I am most in need, and I am inspired
and spurred ahead. If you have a pal, you
have the world—and no one can take it
from you.
Dearest auntie, please print this and 1
will not call again until Mav scatters her
I blossoms here and there. Everybody write.
A >incere niece and cousin.

' DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
Husbands of the Future, Trained to
Cook, Sweep and Sew, Would Not
Be Such Matrimonial Prizes
—With the New Domestic
Knowledge, They Could
Tell Their Wives Where
to Get Off
THE American Home Economic
association recommends that
boys be taught domestic sci
ence in the schools so that when
they grow up and get married pa
will be able to substitute for ma in
the home in an emergency.
At first blush
this idea will
seem alluring to
women. When a

‘does. On the

her life. So the prospect of having
a soulmate who is also a working
partner and who will literally halve
her labors and double her joys is,
indeed, a dazzling one.
Certainly matrimony would have
a new lure if the wife could count
on her husband lending a hand with
the spring sewing and helping her
with the darning at night. When she
was in a hurry of a Sunday morning
she could leave him to bathe the
baby, secure in the knowledge that
he would do it scientifically instead
of washing it with mange soap as
he would a setter pup. She would
have no hesitation about staying
downtown of an evening because she
could phone hubby at the office to
hurry on home and get the dinner.
Undoubtedly, also, it would make
for greater sympathy between hus
bands and wives if men had had a
thorough training in household work
and knew from experience the end
less steps It takes to prepare a
meal and the never-ending toil it
requires to keep a house clean and
tidy. A little turn at the domestic
treadmill would give men respect
for woman’s work, which now in
their inexperience they regard as
a perpetual picnic. No man who had
ever tried scabbing for mother would
ever be guilty of making that an
cient and infuriating remark to his
wife: “I wish I had nothing to do
but to stay at home with the children
as you do.”
“All of these considerations would
make it seem highly desirable for
boys to be taught domestic science
in the schools. Undoubtedly, a hus
band who could sew on his own but
tons and get his own breakfast with
out mussing up the whole kitchen
would be a pearl of price. But the
matter is not so simple as it seems,
and there are many drawbacks to
the plan.
In the first place, it would be the
greatest possible discourager of mat
rimony and men are none too keen
over the holy estate as it is. The
reason why the great majority of
men marry is to get a home.
There comes a time when a man
sickens of even the finest club and
restaurant cooking, or his tummy
revolts at the sight ■of boarding
house prunes; when he finds, as he
is dressing in a hurry to go out,
that the laundress hasn’t brought
home his clean linen, and that he
hasn’t a shirt that isn't shy of ‘but
tons, or frayed at the wrist bands.
Then it is that he turns to matri
mony as his salvation, and heaven
delivers him into the hands of the
nearest woman.
Far otherwise would it be if he
were a trained home-maker and an
accomplished chef and a first-class
seamstress. Then he could make
his own home, cook his own dinners,
darn his own socks and save himself
the expense of a wife, and the worry
of getting along with her, and the
danger of losing his personal lib
erty. _
Take away men’s need of women
to make them comfortable and you
strike a solar plexus blow at mat
rimony.
To teach boys the domestic arts
would also be first aid to divorce,
because it would provide every house
hold with a critic on the hearth,

and not even Patient Griselda her
self could endure that affliction.
No woman knows why, but every
woman knows that It Is true that
nothing else on earth is as aggra
vating or makes her so mad as to
have any one find fault with her
housekeeping. She would rather
be told that her conversation was
heavier than her cake. She will sit
at the feet and humbly learn from
any one who will lecture about
health, beauty, dress, art, science,
religion, but woe to those who try
to teach her how to run her house
differently!
Hence no one can visualize the
dove of peace making its nest under
the roof pole of the home in which
the husband throws his own brand
biscuit in his wife’s teeth, and tells
her how light they always are, and
that his pie crust is always crisp
and flaky, and not like the feathery
compound that she makes, and that
he always doublefells his scams, and
he would be ashamed to turn out
the sloppy work that she does and
cal it a job.
Goodness knows, husbands are
prone to kick now about their wives’
domestic performances, when they
kick in the dark, as it were. And
what they would say when dinner
isn’t up ,to the mark and there is
dust on the mantlepiece, if they
knew what they were talking about,
it makes one tremble to think.
Certainly it is something that no
no woman of spirit would stand for,
while Reno is still on the map.
All of which is a solemn warning
to women to keep hem in their sa
cred sphere. Keep them ignorant
of the domestic arts. S’o shall they
be dependent upon us and marry us,
and eat what is set before them
’without making remarks upon it.
A word to the wise is sufficient.

farmers and Railroads
Must WorA Together
Next after Farming, furnishing Railroad Trans
portation is the biggest industry in the country;
and these two big industrial groups—-the Farm
ers and the Railroads—are vitally dependent,
one on the other.
What would your farm be worth to you—or any one
else, for that matter —if you did not have good Railroad
Transportation to haul the things you produce to profit
able markets, and to bring to you the many comforts
and conveniences which you now enjoy? And, on the
other hand, what would the Railroads be worth if the
Farmers did not give them sufficient traffic to make
operation of the Roads profitable?
Farmers who join in the unjust hue and cry against
the Railroads should remember that what hurts the
Railroads also hurts the Farmers. Common
self preservation demand that the Farmers ana the
Railroads get together and work together, to their
mutual profit.
The Louisville & Nashville Railroad appreciates its
obligation to the Farmers, and is earnestly striving to
furnish efficient and low-cost transportation from the
farms to the markets; and, from the factories and mar
kets to the farms.
Help us to better
serve you.
