A BEDTIME STORY
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS
L Worm That Could Bite and Fight
Beware of giving way to greed,
Lest later you repent the deed.
—Spotty the Turtle.
- Down through the water of the
Smiling Pool came a fat, wriggling
sarth worm. The bright little eyes
< Spotty the Turtle sparkled. He
yas hungry, and here was a treat,
fe began swimming toward it as
ast as he could make his legs go.
Dbwn went the worm until it was
almost to the mud at the bottom of
he Smiling Pool. Just before it
•eached the bottom Spotty caught
>ne of those wriggling .ends.
My, how good it tasted! He was
io. greedy that he couldn't stop to
pok at it closely. He just drew it
nto his mouth as fast as he could,
uid had begun to swallow that first
shd of it before the rest of it was
wholly in his mouth. And then sud
denly something happened that
Tightened Spotty more than any
hing had ever frightened him before
n all his life. There was a sharp
>ain in his mouth as if that worm
tad bitten him. And then he was
dragged upward!
Spotty tried to let go. but he
ihuldn't. It was just as if that worm
had caught him and was hanging
Ml. He plunged for the bottom and
swam with all his might, but in spite
Jf it he felt himself being drawn
ip. He plunged this way and that
S, but he couldn't get away. He
it all to that worm. He couldn't
jrstand it at all.’ .All worms he
ever seen before had been per
y helpless in the water.
To Spotty this was a worm that
?ould bite and fight and was strong
er than he. Oh, how he did wish he
:ould let go! But he couldn’t. Or
anyway the worm wouldn’t let go of
njrn. He struggled and struggled
irid struggled. Os course, thef more
struggled the more tired he'grew.
And the more tired he grew the
'aster he was drawn up toward the
surface. The nearer he drew to the
surface the more frightened he be
came.
His mouth smarted a little where
he thought that worm had bitten
FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Selecting a Good Variety of Cotton
W. J. S., Lexington, Ga.,
"writes: I have just moved in
here and wish to know what
kind of cotton to use on this
land for cotton and grain. The
land is covered with weeds; has
been lying out for tbout two
years. There is lots of lime in
the land and it gets tight in the
summer. I notice that peaches
rot here before they get ripe.
What kind of spray should be
used to prevent this?
We are inclined to think you will
And a 9-3-3 the most desirable type
of fertilizer to use on the land you
expect to cultivate in cotton next
two-thirds of the fertilizer under the
drill row when the cotton is plant
ed. We advise the use of 500 pounds
of the formula indicated. One hun
dred pounds may be reserved and
used as a side application when the
cotton is chopped to a stand. In an
unfavorable season for growth, it
may be desirable to use 100 pounds
of nitrate of soda in addition. This
should be put on about the time the
cotton is ready to square. Forcing
the crop to maturity as quickly as
possible is the most desirable prac
tice you can follow in the presence i
of the boll weevil. Os course, you |
should make a point of securing ;
early maturing varieties of seed
which will yield you a standard
quality of lint.
No doubt your peaches have been
attacked by what is known as
“brown rot.’’ This is a difficult dis
ease to control, and one which can
only be held in check through per
sistent spraying. Where one desires
to grow peaches for commercial pur
poses, the spraying should be carried
on for several months. For the pur
pdse of controlling San Jose’ scale,
a- lime-sulphur solution has been
found the most desirable. The first
spraying should be accomplished by
February 15 in this locality. A good
schedule for you to follow in the
spraying of peaches is detailed be
•lqw:
,1. During the dormant season, use
lime-sulphur solution diluted to test
4.5 degrees Baume. When trees are
infested with scale, make two
applications, one in the fall and an
other as late in the spring as pos
sible before growth begins. If one
application is made, make it in the
spr}ng.
gh».2. As soon as the shucks fall—
foout ten days after petals drop—
Use self-boiled lime-sulphur (8-8-50).
To each 50 gallons of this add one
pound arsenate of lead powder.
This is the Important spraying to
prevent wormy fruit.
3. Two or three weeks later re
peat No. 2 spray.
4. Use self-boiled lime-sulphur
alone four weeks before the fruit is
due to ripen. This spraying is very
important to prevent rot in ship
ment as well as on the trees. Never

of those other worms had done any

couldn’t understand this one at all.
For a moment the ixull stopped,
and Spotty once more plunged for

in his mouth, but it was no longer
dragging him upward. But just be
fore he reached the bottom that drag
began again. And although he
worked all four of his legs with all
hi s might trying to reach the bot

Poor Spotty! It really was terri

because he didn't understand it and
hadn’t the least idea, what it meant.
For the first time in all his life he
was helpless in the water. That
worm was stronger than he. “Oh,

use arsenate of lead with this appli
cation.
(Note: Varieties earlier than the
Greensboro need but the first three
applications and in the third the
arsenate of lead should not be used.
Varieties later than the Elberta
should have at least four applica
tions of self-boiled lime-sulphur.)
5. Lice on peach trees cap be con
trolled by the use of kerosene emul
sion, soap solution or Black Leaf-40.
6. The peach trees should be
wormed in the fall and spring and
the borers removed with a knife,
care being taken not to entirely gir
dle the tree. The wounds made in
looking for borers should be painted
with a white lead and disinfectant
paint.
Fair Monetary Value of Silage
E. H. H., Mount Berry, Ga.,
writes: What should silage be
worth a ton when grain is bring
ing $1.25 per bushel?
The value to place on silage
made from corn will depend on sev
eral factors. First of all, you should
determine the yield of corn per
acre, if this happens to be twenty
bus'hels, then the item to charge
against the grain would be $25. In
the matter of yield, a ton or a ton
and a half of cured, shredded corn
stover should be taken into consid
eration. I do not know what shred
ded corn stover would sell for in
the vicinity of Berry school, but you
should allow a fair price for the
same. Under the conditions of the
present hay shortage, it would prob
ably amount to $25 or more. I do
not know what tonnage of silage
you may expect to get from an acre
of your land. Eight tons, however,
would represent a value of $6 per
ton for silage, ten tons. $5, an i
twelve tons, $4. We do not utilize
corn for silage on the college farm
any more, but a combination of kaf
fir corn and sorghum. From th;4
combination crop we figure on ob
taining a yield of at least ten ton?
per acre. We think a fair price fo*
silage under the conditions which
pertain here would be about $4.
Peach and Apple Production in
Middle
A. A. 8., Atlanta, Ga., writes:
What varieties of apples and
peaches would you recommend
for commercial purposes in a
latitude forty miles south of
Atlanta?'
The Georgia State Horticultural
society has made 1 very careful sur
vey of the varieties of apples and
peaches best adapted for cultiva
tion throughout the different cli
matic areas of Georgia. According
to this organization the varieties of
apples best adapted for cultivation
in middle Georgia are as follows:
Yellow Transparent, Horse, Yates,
Terry. Winesap and Ben Davis. Tn 6
varieties of peaches best adapted to
this section arc: Mayflower, Greens
boro, White English, Hiley, Carmen,
Georgia Belle and Elberta.
Values of Laredo Soy Beans
G. C. S., Monroe Ga., writes:
Do you consider Laredo soy
beans a profitable crop to plant'.’
Is this climate and soil suitable
for a commercial apple orchard?
Thelsoy bean, as you doubtless
know, is a legume. I therefore,
under normal conditions, hes the
power of gathering nitrogen out of
the air and should help to improve
the condition of the land to some
extent on that; account. Legumes,
of course, do not necessarily enrich
; the soil much if they are cut off
and removed front it as a good part
of the nitrogen is in the leav-'s
I and grain. The Laredo soy- bean is
fine-stemmed, and the plants are
reasonably upright in their habit of
growth. This crop will do quite well
if planted with corn for grain or
silage purposes. A combination of
these two crops provides a very
good grazing area for hogs and cat“-
tle. It is the custom, as you doubt
less know, m the west to graze
down crops of this kind rather than
harvest them. This is a matter to
which we should give consideration
at the present time m this section
of the south on account of the high
price of labor and its relative scar
city. Soy beans, of course, may be
planted by themselves in rows four
to six inches apart. The seed is very
fine and therefore a small amount
will plant a considerable area. The
climatic and soil conditions of your
section of the state are very well
suited to this crop.
Commercial apple orcharding is
not likely to succeed in the vicin
ity of Monroe. You might raise
some apples with fair success. The
i best section for apple-growing, of
course, is in the northern part of
the state.

Dear Children: In less than six
months the country has lost two of
its leaders, first President Harding,
who died while holding the office of
president of the United States, and
ex-President Woodrow Wilson.
Both of these men worked in their ;
own ways for the peace of the world,
both really gave their lives for their ■
country. If two such men can make ■
such a sacrifice of self, it seems to I
me. that it is as little as we can do j
to try to be upright, law-abiding cit- |
izens.
There is a selfish side to our doing !
that, too, for if the country is filled
with such citizens, everything is just
that much safer for us;, but above
the thought of self, we should put
the good of the world. Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
Ileur Auntie and Cousins: Please open
the door for an Alabsma girl. I have been
a constant but silent render of the letter 1
box for a long while, and think it’s so in- !
feresting, don’t you all agree with me? i
I am a country girl but don't like it much.
Os course the country’s all right, but I think
I would like city life best. I have two
good books I’d like to exchange with some
of the cousins, they are “The Light of
Western Stars,’’ by Zane Grey, and
“Freckles,’’ by Gene Straton Porter. 1
would like to get "Wonder of the Waste
land.” by Grey and "Never the Twain Shall
Meet,” by Peter B. Kyne. If any one has
these hooks please let me hear from you
soon. For pastime I play the Victrola,
help mother with the house work, and
read. I am fond of reading and think ev
ery one should be. Now, come on, cousins',
and write me.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will yon
please open the door and let me in for
a little while? I have knocked at the
door three times before but was not ad
mitted. I believe in trying until you get
what you want, so I hope you will let me
in this time.
What do you cousins do for pastime? I
1 read almost all of the spare time I get, as
I I had rather read good books than do any
thing else. I am reading "St. Elmo” now
and it surely is a good book. I wish all
you cousins who like to read could read it,
because I believe you would like it.
How many of you cousins go to school?
I do, and like it fine. I believe we should
all get an education, ns we will need it
when we are. older. I think that all who
could, should go to school and learn to
make better citizens of themselves. How
many of you cousins agree with me?
How many of you cousins like the story,
“Her Worry,” that is printed in The Jour
nal? I do, and think It is getting better
every time. I also like Dorothy Dix’
talks and I think she gives us some good
advice, which would help us it we would
go by it.
Cousins, I am going to ask a favor of
you. Will someone who owns the books,
“Light of the Western Stars” and "The
Lonesome Trail.” please loan them to me?
I will take good care of them and will
return the favor any way I can.
Who can guess my age? It is between
14 and 18 years'. My birthday is July 12.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: It has
been quite a while since I wrote to the
Corner,’’ and I wouldn't be surprised to
know that many have forgotten that I ever
have written. Since I wrote last winter
I’ve covered quite a bit of territory, and
one of the many interesting places I've seen
is the battle fields at Gettysburg. I’a.,
which all the cousins have read of in his
tory. It is quite interesting to see the
historic places with your own eyes. I re
member, while studying history. I could
draw a mental picture of how things look
ed around the grounds, and while there 1
found that some were almost as true as the
original. There is "East Cemetery Hill,”
ami here occurred that memorable conflict
known in history of the Gettysburg battle
as the "Louisiana Tiger’s Charge. A monu
ment- was there of General R. E. Lee on
"Traveler,” the horse which carried him
from the beginning to the end of the war
five years with the exception of three days.
Traveler lived to be twenty-nine years old.
There was ".Spangler's Spring,” from which
the wounded soldiers of both sides drank
water. It is now inclosed by a neat struc
ture of granite. All people seem pleased
to drink from the historic spring. There
was the "wheat field,” where occurred
what is called the "whirlpool of the bat
tle.” It is truly said of the wheat field
that upon no other place of equal extent on
the American continent were so many hu
man lives lost and so much human blood
shed. Wars should be stopped. And there
are a good many other places of equal in
terest, hut space will not permit me to
speak of all. Wish to get a long letter
from all.

Os course, there was a time when
courtship was conducted according
to Hoyle. In those days a suitor first ;
asked a father for his daughter's
hand in marriage, and this having
been granted, fell upon his knees be
fore his lady love and, taking ‘her
lily white hand in his. said: “Adored
Clarissa, will you be mine? I swear
by all the gods, etc., etc., etc.”
Even as late as the early sixties
enamored swains still quoted poetry
and took Byron and Tom Moore for
guidance. But in these jazzy days :
they do it differently, and between a '
fox-trot and a tow-step Tom casually
remarks to Maisie: "Say, kid, you .
look good to m&. My flivver is at the
door. Let’s heat it to the parson and
joyride through life together. What
say?”
And Maisie says. “Surest thing,
vou know.” And all's well that ends
well.
For it doesn’t matter what you
say. It is just the way you say it.
Except, for the high-saluting and im
practical tips offered by novels, the
stage and the movies, there is ab
solutely no guidance for the youth
who wishes to sell himself as a mat
rimonial proposition to a girl. For
the one thing that no man ever tells
is what he said when he asked his
wife to marry him, and the secret a
woman carries with her to the grave
are the words her husband used
when he popped the question to her.
Probably this is because the man
knows he bungled the situation, and
that after spending weeks thinking
up lovely, soulful speeches, when
the time came, he swallowed his
Adam's apple hard two or three
times and gulped out a bald request,
unembellished by any flower of
rhetoric or jvoetry.
Certainly nie reason why the wom
an doesn’t tell is because she cannot
bear to even remember her disap
pointment over the shattering of the
dream of her life. Even since she
was a schoolgirl she has looked for
ward to her one great moment when
the man she loved would ask her to
be his in high romantic phrase, and
says things to her that she could
treasure in her heart as long as
she lived. And then when he pro
poses to her, as if he were asking
for a second helping of pie, it makes
her want to say, “No,” no matter
how much she loves and wants him.
It is a matter of record that when
a man asks a woman to marry him
and she accepts she invariably
throws herself into his arms and
'we\s on his breast. The man thinks
’she is shedding tears of joy because
he has come across at last, but such
is not the case. She is crying as if
her heart would break because of
the way he popped the question and
trampled her fairy story under his
number ten brogues.
No. I can’t tell you how to pro
pose to a girl, son, but I can give
you one valuable pointer, and that
is to choose the phychological mo
mentum which to do it if you want
to win out.
Most men are singularly insensi
ble to the effect that environment
and her moods have upon a woman,
and the result that many a lover
gets, the mitten instead of the glad
hand, is just because he didn’t have
sense enough to know when and
where to speak and when and where
to keep silent.

ning together before an open fire —
and any wompn will incline her ear
to love talk, and say “Yes” if she
has any affection at all for the man
who asks her to marry him.
But let the same man pop the
question, as men do, in the middle of
the day across a beefsteak-and-onion
dinner, or while they are dodging au
tomobiles on the street, or on a
crowded train, and the woman will
say “No” every time out of sheer
exasperation at his lack of tact, and
at his being such a bull in the china
shop, unless she feels certain that
she can't live without him and that
this is the last call he will ever give
her to the dining car.
Never propose to a woman when
she is gay and joyous and at the top
of her success. Then she is sufficient
unto herself and her thoughts are
not of love and home, but of further
pleasures and triumphs. Wait until
I idy Luck turns her back upon her
and she is needing sympathy and
consolation and a good strong prop
upon which to lean. Then “press
your suit,” as fortune tellers say.
Finally, don't propose by letter. It
is a cowardly subterfuge that every
woman resents.
Also it is a foolish throwing away
of all the potent weapons of person
ality, for it. is much easier to write
a refusal than it is to say it when
there pleading eyes and lips to
work their spell upon a wavering
heart.
The sum of all is, son, that you
she doesn’t, no eloquence avails,
can say it in any old way. And if
the girl loves you, it goes, and if
And that’s all there is to it.

Makes a Family Supply g
g of Cough Remedy g
Keally better than ready-made &
nJ cough syrups, and saves about $2. pj
Ln Easily and quickly prepared. Ln
If you combined the curative prop
erties of every known “ready-made”
cough remedy, you probably could
not get as much real curative power
ns there is in this simple home-made
I cough syrup, which is easily prepared
| in a few minutes.
Get from any druggist 2% ounces
of Pinex, pour it into a pint bottle
and fill the bottle with syrup, using
either plain granulated sugar syrup,
clarified molasses, honey, or corn
syrup, as desired. The result is a
full pint of really better cough syrup
than you could buy ready-made for
three times the money. Tastes pleas
ant and never spoils.
This Pinex and Syrup preparation
gets right at the cause of a cough and
gives almost immediate relief. Ib
loqsens the phlegm, stops the nasty
throat tickle and heals the sore, irri
tated membranes so gently and easily
that it is really astonishing.
A day’s use will usually overcome
! the ordinary cough and for bronchitis,
croup, hoarseness and bronchial asth
ma, there is nothing better.
Pinex is a most valuable concen
trated compound of genuine Norway
pine Extract, and has been used for
generations to break severe coughs.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for “2% ounces of Pinex”
with full directions, and don’t accept
anything else. Guaranteed to give

Way to
Win the Race
against the 801 l Weevil
Another year’s experience fighting the weevil in cotton'
states gives additional proof that the way to beat him ii ‘
the early planting of early varieties and the use of
Nitrate
of Soda
200 Pounds per Acre . .
,- A t ■
Where grass and weeds do not interfere with cultivation,
use all the Nitrate at planting time. Otherwise use half;
at planting time and half when chopping out.
This will force early bloom and will make the bolls
hard enough to resist attack when the weevils arrive in
force. Use poison, if you must, but don’t neglect the
Nitrate. »
One county agent in Georgia writes “People using
Nitrate of Soda are ‘sold’ on Soda and will use it next
year. Others who saw the tests will do the same.’* <
Alabama Experiment Station Bulletin No. 219 says
“Nitrate of Soda has returned better profit than Cotton
Seed Meal in all sections of Alabama. Nitrate of Soda
is therefore recommended in the formulas for each
section.”
My Free Bulletins on use of Nitrate of Soda for cotton
and other crops should be in the hands of every farmer.
