FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
What About Your Planting Seed?
The season of the year is at hand
when our farmers will undertake to
plant millions of acres of land to va
rious food and raiment-producing
crops. They are faced by a huge un
dertaking, and the returns by which
they will be rewarded will be deter
mined largely by the sagacity with
which they plant. Os course I real
ize that many factors enter Into the
production of every crop. These, of
course, should receive the attention
and consideration which they merit.
On this occasion, however, I am pri
marily concerned about the question
of planting seed. The kind and the
Veriet-v wfiicii we shall select, for
instance, and the ancestry which
i'.es back .of it. The Bible says, “As
sow, so shall ye reap.” No mors
important maxim was ever uttered
for the guidance of our farmers than
this. Os course, various interpreta
tions can be put upon this proverb;
but I take it to mean, in the sense
lii which I am applying it, that if
we plant infertile or scrub seed, we
should naturally expect to harvest
an inferior or scrub product, ft is
a beautiful theory that makes all:
men free and equal, but it has never
worked out to be true in practice. It
is exceedingly fortunate that such
has not proven to be the case, for,
if it had, we would have been quite
without leadership. As it is, the his
tory and progress which society has
made during the centuries since his
tory began has resulted from the
leadership accorded humanity by the
super-minds of a few individuals,
and it is likely that this will con
tinue to be the case through the
ages which are yet to come.
In the plant world, as in the case
of the human being there are com
paratively few dominating or very
superior types. "When mankind has
been lucky enough to discover one
of these by some fortunate com
bination of circumstances and put at
to work for his benefit,- substantial
progress has always been recorded. (
Hence, it is of the utmost impor
tance that we diligently seek out,
discover, and utilize only the best
kinds of parent seeds for utilization
as the progenitors of that which we
expect to multiply and use for plat -
ing purposes. • , e ~,o w
From an economic point of '* e •
I am certain that the character
seed selected may influence the
yield per acre of a given crop to a
very considerable degree. - _
sistance to disease and quaity ar
also matters greatly affec.ed ' -
choice of seed. Moreovei, uni A*
one obtains a good and pe j. • >
stand, the crop will prove a djsap
nointment at Harvest time. an.,
waste a whole year's effort there.oie
through the mistaken policy of sav
ing something on the cost of Aie
planting seed? It Jiterally a case
of stopping up the head of the bar
rel and opening the bung at the hot
tom and sti'l trying to delude ones
self into the fact that the precious
liquid stored in the barrel has been
retained, propertly preserved, and
safeguarded.
Os course I realize that there is
not purebred seed enough to go
around because we are still not em
phasizing the industry of seed breed
ing to anything like the degree
which is desirable. But it is certain
that practically every individual
concerned in planting a crop this
year can do something towards im
proving the seed he will plant, feuie
lv he can determine whether it is
liable or not by a very simple
process. I refer, of course, to the
use of the sand tray, in which
grains selected at random from the
sacks or containers as well as from
the ears of corn may be accurately
tested as to the readiness with
which they will germinate and the
percentage of living plants which
one may be expected to obtain there
from. An earthen ware saucer or
pan filled with an inch or so of sand
and kept properly moistened and in
which the grains to be tested-are
inserted will tell the tale in the
course of a few days. If 90 per cent
and upwards of the seed tested un
der these conditions do not sprout,
what can one expect to happen
under field conditions, which would
be much less favorable and where
many agencies might combine to
destroy a considerable percentage of
the best seed one could undertake to
secure for planting?
Let us not put into the soil this
year any seed which is not free from
disease in sp far as we can ascertain
that fact before hand or which is not
y/&b.le. I have seen fields planted
kind and description of
wop in which the stands was not
over 30 per cent and where this con
dition was chargeable more nearly to
the character of seed planted than
anything else. Does it seem rea
sonable that this could have hap
pened In our country? Is it true
that many of our farmers condemn
themselves to penury through the
use of bad seed? Is it possible that
a man will take an acre of land,
carefully prepare and fertilize it.
and then plant, an undesirable type
of seed therein? I regret to say that
this Is the rule rather than the ex
ception.
I believe the out-turn of crops In
Georgia this year could be Increased
$5.00 per acre simply through the
use of carefully tested planting seed,
and I am sure that in the course of

For »ale by druggists everywhere.
THE ATLANTA TRI WEEKLY JOURNAL
a few years we could increase the re
turns per acre, by $lO through the
agency of plant breeding whereby we
1 would provide ourselves with an
abundance of well standardized seed
for planting. The importance of this
matter cannot be over-emphasized,
as the following experiences graphi
cally illustrate.
In one small community in Geor
gia, the farmers were found grow
ing twenty-three varieties of cotton
Such an intermixture of these had
taken place that the staple produced
was being discriminated against be
cause it lacked length, strength, and
quality. A good deal of disease had
crept into the cotton fields, and no
two farmers were growing the same
variety. Through the agency of the
college, a very superior strain of cot
ton has been developed. It is large
ly resistant to anthracnose. It
yields a staple of to 11 1-16 inches
in length, and it is distinctly earlier
than the average of the varieties
which have been cultivated in Geor
gia for many years past. It has an
advantage in the matter of maturity
over most of them equivalent to two
week. This makes it a particularly
valuable type to cultivate under the
conditions of boll weevil infestation
where the quick maturity of the
crop is the end most desired. The
introduction of this variety into the
community in question has resulted
in two-thirds of the land devoted to
cotton being planted in College No.
1. It has reduced the percentage of
disease. The fiber obtained is dis
tinctly superior to that which was
formerly secured. The seed raised
by these farmers has been sold at
$2.00 per bushels. The fiber has sold
at a premium of 1 1-2 cents per
pound. Buyers are seeking this
cotton because of its uniformity and
quality. Nearly half of the cotton
harvested in one of our North Geor
gia counties in 1923 was raised in
this community.
Varieties of Cotton Suited to
South Georgia
J. E. T., Fitzgerald, Ga.,
writes: I wish to inquire from
your viewpoint what would be
the best cotton seed for us to
use through here under boll wee
vil conditions. I want to get the
best seed possible, not only for
my own use, but to get the
farmers in this vicinity interest
ed in this proposition.
A careful review of the situation
indicates that your land is likely to
be infested with the wilt or black
root disease of cotton. In that event
you should only plant strains which
are as strongly resistant to this
trouble as possible. We have made
a number of tests in south Georgia
wherein a relatively large number
of varieties of cotton were inclhded-
We have also made a survey of the
varieties of cotton adapted for cul
tivation in Georgia and have gath
ered together the best information
we could obtain on this subject from
our agents and field workers. The
data assembly point conclusively to
the fact that some of the Toole
strains of cotton are likely to prove
the most suitable for cultivation in
your section of the state.
Where it is certain that the land
is free from the wilt disease, you
can afford to plant College No. 1.
or a, well-standardized strain of
Cleveland. These varieties are not
strongly resistant to the wilt dis
ease, but we regard them as two of
the best strains for general cultiva
tion in Georgia out of all those we
have tested up to the present time.
There is a lot of seed being grown
and sold in Georgia that we do not
think is of very good quality. Os
course we are examining more and
more seed each year through, the
agency of the Georgia Breeders’ as
sociation. This seed is of good qual
ity, and we can recommend it, but
only a small part of that being pro
duced and offered for sale in our
state is being examined and certified
as yet. Good, reliable seed were nev
er of so much importance to the cot
ton growers as at this time, and in
no year In our history should this
matter receive more careful consid
eration than in that, of 1924. You
are acting wisely, therefore, in try
ing to find the best and most re
liable cotton seed which can be ob
tained for planting in your section.
Emphasizing Sunflower Production
in Georgia
J. 8., Bostwick, Ga., writes:
Believing that raising sunflow
ers for the seed is very impor
tant and necessary, 1 planted
150 acres to this crop last June.
On one field of thirty acres I
harvested at least 40 bushels to
the acre. I planted the crop to
show how easily it can be raised
and the enormous yields per
acre.
Sunflowers are not grown ex
tensively in any southern state
except Missouri. The United
States produces only about 20
per cent of the sunflower seed
used in chicken feed. Up to a
few years ago our supply came
from Russia, but it now comes
from South America. In my
opinion poultry raising will soon
be one of the most important in
dustries in Georgia, and the
problem of raising feed for the
chickens is the most important
factor in the business. I there
fore. think that everyone raising
chickens should raise enough
sunflower seed for their own
flocks.
Your experience with sunflowers
is both interesting and instructive,
and indicates that this is a crop
which may be grown with consider
able advantage by our people. It is
a good thing that you have made
an experiment in the cultivation of
sunflowers on a commercial basis in
this day and time when diversifica
tion is uppermost in the minds ot
’ our people. Your figures indicate
• that we might plant a considerable
! area in this crop in Georgia with
I satisfaction. Certainly we need to
i emphasize poultry production, and
! sunflower seed provides a. very fine
j food for chickens. The results you
■ have obtained .should encourage
; many other farmers to give atten
i tion and consideration to the culti
vation of sunflowers. Naturally, it
would be best for them to plant vela
j tively small areas until they learn
, more about this crop. Judging from
I what you say. there is not only a
I good local demand for sunflower
i seed, but apparently this crop may
I be handled with a considerable de
; gree of success on a commercial
basis.

Dear Aunt .Tulia and Cousins: As this is
my first time to write, I guess the girst
thing for me to do is ask Aunt Julia for ad
mittance inty the council. I am an Ala

have lived in Illinois several years. I have
lived in Alabama for six years and think
there is no place like it. But still I hear
those Florida cousins say that they’ live in
the Land of Flowers, and as I am very fond
of flowers I may give that state a visit
some summer, so you cousins watch for me.
I am a country girl and live on a farm five
miles from Greenville, the county- seat of
Butler county. How many ot you cousins
ever wonder if Aunt Julia over lived on a

ning to do this summer? I am planning to
raise chickens and pick strawberries. Wish
all you cousins and Aunt Julia were here
to help me. I am nineteen years old and

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins All:
May I come in for a short call?
I have been waiting outside the door
For quite a while —two years or more,
And I feel that I might venture near,
in out of the cold and dewey air.
I guess you cousins are glad that spring is
here;
That brings the song birds, hymns of cheer.
How many of you cousins go to school?
I do, and find it great fun as a general rule.
During the long summer days
I ramble with daddy through swamps and
bays.
Helping him hunt oak logs
And watching the oxen pull them out of
bos's
So the mules can pull them up the hill,
To be sawed into lumber at the mill.
Though filled with many joys and fears,
My age is now just nine years.
I am a little stout, iny complexion is fair,
With hazel eyes and light brown hair.
All the cousins write to a nine-year-old boy
And fill my heart brimful of joy.

good many other flowers. I would like to

good variety, and some periwinkle seed for
other flower seed, especially petunia, phlox
and pansies and any other you” have. You

to thank each and every one of you who

I enjoyed reading every letter I received.
I notice a few of the cousins have sug
gested we describe our ideal wife or hus
band as a subject in our letters to the
Council, so all you who are interested
(especially farmers’ daughters) read. First,
my ideal must be of good character, with a
mild temper and pleasing disposition. Sec
ond. site must know how (and not mind it)
to cook, sew and do the general housework
that is required of most farmers’ wives.
Third, she must be neat and clean at al!
tunes. Fourth, must not weigh over 140 or
less than 100 and not over 5 feet 7 inches
tall or over thirty years old. Fifth, 1 could
not specify any certain complexion or color
of hair if they came up to my wishes other
wise, but really prefer a brunette, long
hair or bobbed, but like bobbed hair. I
guess if you cousins knew my age you
nonld say it is getting time 'he stopped
being so choice? and took anyone he c an
get; but never mind; I am not thirty yet,

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
we.come a girl from Mississippi into your
happy circle of boys and girls? I've been
a reader of The Journal f or a long time and
thought of writing before now, but
was afraid of the wastebasket. I lire in
northern Mississippi, and this country is
very hilly. We hare some poor soil snd
some good. We hare lots of pretty springs
and lots of pretty wild ferns. Some of the
ferns stay pretty and green all winter, and
here are lots of wild flowers that bloom
here in the spring and summer. Now.
cousins, mother -wants to find some of her
relatires, her father's brothers and sisters.
Her father came from South Carolina. His
name was Jonathan M Swain, His brothers'
names, that she remembers, were Elijah,
David and John. Oqe sister, named Cather
ine. If there is anyone who knows them,
or any of their children see this, please
write her. Her address is Mrs. M .1. Cas
tleberry. Water Valley, Miss. Mother is
real anxious to find her relatives. Why
don’t more of you soldier and sailor hoys
write to The Journal? Wo like to read your
letters. I ant afraid I am taking up too
much of your time, dear Aunt Julia, so will
close. If there is anyone who cares to
write, address your letters to

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I have heard
of your Letter Box and would appreciate It
if you will publish this in The Journal. I
live in the little village of Burnt Corn. It
got. its name from some Indians who were
ramping there. One of them got sick and
had to remain. The corn which they left
him burned, and since that time it has been
called Burnt Corn. There is a creek near
here also by that name. A battle was
fought there between the whftee and In
dians. Hoping to hear from some of you
cousins, your friend.

Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: 7 won
der if you will admit an Alabama girl into
your happy circle? I have been a silent
reader for a good while, and as I've never
any letters from this part of Ala
bama I decided I'd try for admittance. I r
is too cii'd to do any thing much, but sit
Uy the fire. But I suppose most of the
cousins are in school non. I an) not in
school. I began taking a stenographic
course at Draughon's college, but bad to
come home on account of my mother's ill
health and haven't had the opportunity to
go back yet, although I hope to in the
rear future. I am taking my course in
Nashville. Tenn. I like Nashville very
much. I have two sisters there, the oldest
is a bookkeeper, the other, a milliner. I
have three brothers, all at home. How
many of the cousins like to sew? I do. and
make all of my clothes and sometimes
sew for others. T also tat and embroider,
but I do not crochet very much. I wish
you girls and boys were here to go kodak
:ng '■■ith me tomorrow. First I am going
to church and W. M. I*. Then a crowd

am secretary of our W, M. U , also ehair,
man of the personal service work associated
I with the W. M. U. I dearly lore ths

volunteering for life service for the Mas

may call ns into the unknown but He
promises to go with us, and bless us by
making us a blessing to others. I agree
with you, Horace Williams, of Alabama.
' I believe the other states are about to
’ get ahead of us. I live on a 36O.acre farm,
so you see I have plenty of room to ram

the great out-of-doors. We have lots of
, high hills here, some are “young moun

’ "how old is she?” Oh, let's see if you can

Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: I am
just a little "Tar Heel" asking to be ad
mitted Into your jolly band of boys and
girls. I have been a silent reader for quite
a while and I enjoy the letter box very
i much. I live in the beautiful "land of the
’ sky," seven miles' from the little town
ot Franklin, near the Tennessee river. The
scenery here is grand. I think that western
North Carolina is rightly called "The
Switzerland of America.” Tourists wonder
at the grandeur of the scenery, for in the
mountains nature Is always at her best
where the man-made scenery does not mar
the beauty ot nature. I will give you a
faint idea of my appearance. I have brown
eyes, brown hair, and fair complexion. T
am between sixteen and nineteen years of
age. Who has my birthday, August 10? I
am very fond ot reading and have read
many interesting books. I am a lover of
music and flowers, but above all things, I
love to go to school. I am a junior in high
school. I, too, live on a farm, and like
farm lilfe very much. Would be glad to
correspond with you girls and boys from
the different states. With best wishes to

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
Only Cruel Mothers Sacrifice Their
Children to Themselves^—Real
Mother Love Seeks the Child’s
Own Good, Even at Its
Own Expense
AMONG my acquaintances are a
rich old widow and her middle
aged son, whose devotion to
each other is a perpetual marvel to
all who know them.
They live, alonge together in a
landsome house.
Every day you
may see them
motoring around
in a gorgeous
limousine. They
go off on trips
together. Son
never take any
lady but mother
to tl>e theater or
any place ot
amusement. In
fact, wherever
mother goes,
son, like Mary’s
lamb, is sure to
go also.
“Isn’t such devotion beautiful?’’
exclaim their admiring friends.
Well, I, for one. see nothing beau
tiful in the spectacle of an old bach
elor tied to his mother’s apron
strings. I see in it nothing but sel
fish tyranny on one side and weak
slavery on the other. I see only a
morbid and perverted affection, that
has warped the life of a man.
Thera Is nothing beautiful in the
mother love that monopolizes a child,
that hampers and binds it and bars
its way to its own self-expression;
that makes youth conform itself to
the limitations of age, that makes
youth think old thoughts, cultivate
old tastes, look at things from the
viewpoint of the aged.
Beautiful mother love is the Jove
that effaces itself, that seeks the
child’s good, even at its own expense;
that strengthens the wings of the
fidgling, although it knows that its
flight will carry it far from the home
nest.
In this particular case, the mother
has kept hep son from marrying. He
began by being human and having
an inflammable heart. When he was
young he loved a girl and a 3-rl loved
him, and they planned to be married.
But mother broke all )f that up.
She wept a perfect Niagara of tears
and told him how it would break her
heart if he left her. She worked on
his sympathies by tragic descriptions
of her- loneliness without him. She
appealed to his gratitude by telling
him how she devoted her li“e to him.
And. at last, through mingled weari
ness, and pity .and a sense of duty,
he gave the girl up and settled down
to being mother’s slave and. lackey.
His mother is very proud of her
achievement In alienating her son’s
affections from the girl he loved, and
she proudly boasts that she had made
him promise never to marry as -ong
as she lives. And all the other wom
en who hear her cite this remarkable
proof of filial devotion murmur en
viously, “How wonderful!”
Yes, it is wonderful. It is marvel
ous that any mother who even pre
tends to love her child could be will
ing to take her happiness at his ex
pense, and to sacrifice him to her
jealous desire to have him to herself
alone.
This woman loved and married in
her youth. She had many years of
happiness in the companionship of a
good husband. She had the satisfac
tion of building her own home. She
knew the joys of parenthood, and she
has a son to sustain and comfort her
in her old age. But, in order to mo
nopolize him, she has cut that son
off from all of the experiences which
are the purest sources of happiness
that any man ever knows.
She blighted the romance of his
youth. She forced him to atrophy
his affections, until now his heart is
nothing but a stringy little bunch of
muscles, incapable of a. real, full,
throbbing emotion. For the compan
ionship of a wife of his own age she
has given him the dull society of an
old woman. He has never known
the fun of home-building. The only

TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
love he has had was the dry husks
of mother love. The only little feet
that have ever run to meet him of an
evening when he came home were ;
the feet of his dog.
It is only in dreams of what might
have been that he feels the thrill ot
little arms around lis neck and pic
tures to himself <lie interest Ef<i
might have if he had a pretty little .
daughter just budding into woman- ;
hood or a son about whose exploits .
at college he could boast.
As it is, what has life given him?
Nothing. What has life to give im
in the future? Lers than nothing.
He has had no companionship, for,
while his mother has been interested
in what he did and thought, he has
been bored to tears by her old wives’
tales. He has not made of his talents
what he should have made because
he had no incentive to struggle. A
man’s wants are few and .simple. It
is for wife and children that he girds
up his loins and fights.
And now before him stretches the
dreary age of the lonely old bachelor.
Mother is old and cannot live long.
When she goes he will begin living
around in hotels and clubs, with no
society save that of other lonely old
men; no one to care whether he is
sick or well; none but hired hands
to close his eyes when he is dead.
In the blighled geniuses whose
mothers kept them at home because
they could not bear to be parted from ,
them, in the lonely old bachelors and
maids whose mothers kept them from
carrying because they could not bear
to share their child with another, we
see the work of the monopolistic
mother—the cruel mother who sacri
fice their children to themselves.

Child Labor Measure t
Is Reported to House;
Committee Divided
WASHINGTON, March 31.-r>The
house judiciary committee today for
mally reported the constitutional
amendment providing for congres
sional regulation of labor by chil
dren under eighteen years of age.
Majority and minority reports were
submitted.
Representative Foster, Republican.
Ohio, author of the resolution, In
the majority report Indorsed the
measure a* necessary to protect chil- ’
dren “from the educational, physical
and spiritual losses” causes by pre
mature child labor.
Chairman Graham and three Dem
ocrats, Renresentatives Montague,
Virginia: Dominick, South Carolina,
and Weller, New York, opposed the
amendment as an unnecessary “in
vasion of state rights.” They said
it was “unwise to centralize all
power in Washington with its result-,

Mineralized Water
Routs Chicken Lice
No Dusting or Spraying—Birds Delouse
Themselves. Fine for Baby Chicks
and All Poultry.
A recent discovery promises to revolu
tionize all the commonly accepted meth*
ods of keeping poultry free from lice and
mites. This wonderful product keeps th*
poultry always lice-free without the poul
try raiser doing any work. It is th*
simplest, easiest, surest and best method
ever discovered.
Lie* Tabs, which is the nam* of th*
remarkable lice remedy, is dropped in
the chicken's drinking water. Taken
into the system of the bird, it comes out
through the oil glands and every lous*
or mite leaves the body. It la guaran
teed to help the hatchability of the eggs
and can not injure the flavor of the eggs
or meat; is harmless to chicks and does
not affect the plumage. A few days’ .
treatment at the start and then a little
added to the drinking water each month
is all that 1s necessary.
Send No Money—just your name and
address to Lice Tab Laboratories, Dept.
30, 845 S. Wabash Ave., Chicago, 111.
A card will do. So confident is the
Laboratory that Lice Tabs will get rid of
every louse or mite that they will send
you two large double strength SI.OO
packages for the price of one. When
they arrive, pay postman only SC.OO
and postage. Sell one to your neighbor
and get yours free. If you are not abso
