SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
For May 4th, 1924. — The Assyrian Exile.—2 Kings 11-17
BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
Golden Text: “I will delight myself
thy statutes; I will not forget the
ord.”
did a kingdom have bright
prospects than did the northern
ngdom of Israel. The prophet
ought God’s promise to Jeroboam
a great kingdom if he would but
true and obey. The shame of it
that of every king who succeeded
ril it could he said that “he did
11 in the sight of the Lord, and
liked in the ways of Jeroboam the
n of Nebat who made Israel to
l. Not one king of Israel was a
•od king.
The nation lost prestige and pow-
Dynasty succeeded dynasty,
nally Jehu usurped the throne,
it to him the prophecy was made
at his sons should sit on the
rone until the fourth generation,
is grandson was Jeroboam 11, in
any respects a great king. Israel
ospered under him in spite of the
ct that he did not depart from the
eked ways of his illustrious pred
essor of the same name. He’ built
> the kingdom wonderfully and
igned a long time. It seemed as
ough the prophet would fail, for
rely his dynasty would stand. He
is succeeded, however, by his son,
d at the end of only six months
hich was the fourth generation)
■ was slain by a servant, and Shal
m began a new dynasty. The
ophet’s word came true.
From now on, for forty-one years,
e record of Israel’s kings reeks
th blood. Shallum reigned only a
11 month when he was killed by
enahem, the captain of the guard,
enahem, with the military behind
m, was able to subdue all pretend
s or those who- might be, and ex
bited ruthless cruelty in killing
expectant mothers. He held the
rone for ten years, tn his reign
il (or Tiglath-Pilezer) the king of
isyria, invaded the north. Realiz
g.that he was not able to stand
ainst the trained armies of the
ghty Assyrian host that had con
ered all the easf, and was now
irching victoriously toward Egypt,
enahem settled with him on the
sis of a thousand talents of silver
lich he extorted from 200 wealthy
?n of Israel at the rate of 50 tai
ts each. Menahem’s power was
■ong enough to keep his son, Pe
hiah, in office two years, when he
is assassinated by Pekah, the son
Remaliah.
Pekah held the throne for twenty'
ars. In his days the Assyrian
ig returned—probably they were
t paying their yearly taxes
omptly—and they took captive
me of the most important cities of
3 north and carried them captive
the land of Assyria.
Down in the southern kingdom of
dah the great prophet Isaiah was
ing his utmost to keep the peo
s of Judah from entering unholy
lances with the king of Egypt and
ging them to return to God and
ist Him only. He used Israel in
! north as an illustration and as
warning. The Assyrian king’ was
d’s hammer with which He was
’ing to break the stony covering
out the heart of Israel. He was
)bably the author of the conspir-
V by which Hosea, the son' of
ih, assassinated Pekah and be
ne king in his stead. Hosea was
3 vassal of the Assyrian king for
; first six years of his reign. Then
refused tribute and entered into
alliance with Socaco, the power
king of Egypt. This brought the
Syrian king against him, who
ptured him, and shut him up
and, while he went on to besiege
i city of Samaria.
j'or three years the city with
>od his hosts, but finally sue-,
nbed in the ninth year of Hosea,
•sea means Saviour; it is the same
Joshua. It is rather a sad com
mtary that h e who should have
?n Israel’s saviour was the cause
their downfall. The nation was
ptured hnd deported to Assyria,
• ere they intermingled with those
tions and lost their identity as a
)ple—until Jesus, their rejected
ng, comes hack again and the two
cks, Ephriam arid Judah, will be
ned again and made one. The
ndage of Egypt, was the cradle of
* nation, and the Assyrian bond
e became its grave.
The Cause
What was the cause of the na
n's downfall after it had started
t with such brilliant prospects?
ell, it was the same that causes
deterioration—it was sin! The na
il sinned against Jehovah Elo—
■n who had brought them out of
e land of Egypt, and from the
id of Pharaoh.
They turned to other gods. They
rved. idols in direct disobediance
Jehovah's command. On every
sh hill, in every grove, idols were
iced, and worshipped in nameless
Fys'and by degrading practices.
ie worship of the Raalim and the
iherahs was the opposite of ela
ting to either the spiritual o’
>ral life of the people; it was det
nental to their bodily health even.
God sent prophets to warn .and to
>o them, and they would not hear
em, but hardened their necks,
tey would not believe in the God
their fathers. They caused their
ns and daughters to pass through
e; they used divinations and en
antmonts; they sold themselves to
evil. What else could God do

THF, ATLANTA TRI-WE
necked people? He was forced by
them to remove them out of His
sight—that is, away from the place.
He had prepared for and given to
them. To forsake Him, to displace
Him. to disobey Him, to engage in
all the abominations of the heathen
that appealed to the lower senses
and stifled the spiritual life, io
fail to trust Him—this was Israel.
What else could God do? “Right
eousness exalteth a nation, but sin
is a reproach unto any people.” Is
rael was ungrateful, forgetful, will
ful—and Israel fell.
Again we call attention to the un
changeableness of human nature.
Folks have not changed since Isra
el’s time. There are folks today
who have never been the recipients
of God’s marvelous kindness, and
who are just as ungrateful as Israel
was. There are people today who
have forgotten God’s statutes and
have not remembered God's word to
them and have turned ujide to other
gods and to the doing of their own
way, just as Israel did. There are
folks today who have had God's
servants warn them and do every
thing possible to woo them and win
them back to God who have been
just as resistent and just as rebel
lious and just as willful as Israel
was. And with that they have gone
into captivity. God has had to let
them be taken <;aptive because) they
would not hear Him speaking
through His servants. They live in
the same town, maybe; haven't been
deported as Israel was among stran
gers; but they are captives at home;
they are strangers among their own
people. They are bound hand and
foot by some habit, tied hopelessly
with cords-of sin—oh, no! not hope
lessly, for God is gracious and mer
ciful, loves them yet and longs to
deliver them, to' break the bands of
Satan as soon as they will let Him.
But He alone can do it—they are
hopelessly bound, apart from Christ.
Two Kinds of Folks
There are two kinds of folks to
whom we are speaking today. There
are those who have already gone
Israel’s way of ingratitude, forget
fulness and willfulness. To these we
give the most solemn warning and
the most loving word to woo them.
Turn now and let God break the
bonds of sin.
But there are others, many more
of them, who have’ not yet gone the
way of Israel. Let the words of the
Psalmist be the determining prin
ciple of our lives. “I will delight
myself in. thy statutes, and I will
not forget thy word.”
Ah! there is the real crux of the
situation. We have never seen a
backslider yet of whom it was not
true that the beginning of his back
sliding was neglect of his Bible. The
man or woman, ,the boy or girl, who
delights in God’s statutes, who does
not forget His Word, doesn't go
wrong. And there is a reason —the
daily study of God’s word is food for
the soul, and food taken regularly
and digested makes for strength. It
is the starving soul that is getting so
weak that one day the strain is too
great and the strength is insufficient
to mept it. The athlete keeps in the
pin kof oonddition all the time, by
the proper amount and quality of
food, taken at regular intervals, and
by using the strength he ha s regu
larly. -That is the way foi you to
keep strong and to grow stronger—-
eat God’s word regularly and in the
proper quantity; and exercise what
strength you now have, regularly.
Make David’s word your purpose
and practice—“l will delight in Thy
statutes; I will not forget Th”
word.”
LIOOOB INDICTMENT
ATTACK OVERRULED
BY COURT IN MOBILE
MOBILE, Ala., April 26.—Two
more attacks on the indictment
charging 71 persons with conspiracy
toi violate the prohibition law were
unsuccessful in federal court when
Judge Robert T. Irvin overruled a
demurrer filed by former chief of
police, Patrick J. O'Shaughnessy,
;»nd sustained a demurrer of N. E.
Stallworth, special prosecutor, to a
plea in abatement by Isadore Maisel
asking that his case be thrown out
of the blanket indictment.
The O'Shagnessy demurrer set tip
42 points against the indictment,
among them, that onljr the nature
of the alleged offense against the
federal laws were charged in the in
dictment; that no actual offense, or
conspiracy to offend, was charged,
and that th© indictment was vague.
Similar demurrers were filed by
many of the other defendants. The
demurrer was submitted without ar
gument and overruled.
Maisel, who is one of the 71 in
dicted, made a plea through his at
torney, Foster K. Hale, to have his
case thrown out because he was im
properly described. A demurrer to
this plea was filed.by Attorney Stall
worth, and the case argued at great
lengt h.
Maisel is described in the indict
ment ns “Isadore Maisel, alias Ike
Maisel. Attorney Hale declared his
client was known only as Isadore
Maise'; had never been known as
Ike Maisel, and consequently the
indictment was incorrect.
Unless pleas of abatement are
filed and granted, the conspiracy j
case will go to trial Monday morn
ing. ' I
Among those to be presented are I
Paul Cazalas, Mobile county sheriff; i
four of his deputies, William H. Hol- ;
combe, state legislator and former :
sheriff; Frank W. Boykin, business I
man; I’earcy Kearns, lawyer; Robert I
Holcombe, politician, and other Mo- 1
bile county residents.
Mrs. A. Moore, charged with sale •
of prohibited liquors. was found
guilty and firied £IOO. S. C. William
son plead guilty to selling, and was
fined SIOO. George Tood plead guil- I
ty to illicit distilling and sentence
was deferred to May 8.

Dear Children: Picnics are just
around the corner and I want to
talk to you about being careful about
building camp fires and leaving
them. I know just how much fun
picnics are and I wouldn’t have you
miss them for a lot. but I do want
you to be careful to put out your
camp fire before leaving, to be care
ful not to throw matches in the.
brushes. Os course I feel that you
will not play with the fire and
jeopardize a fellow picnicker’s life.

Dear Aunt Julia nnd Cousins: Will you
please admit an Alabama girl itjto your
happy hand of boys and girls? I have been
a silent reader of the Leiter Box for a long
time, and I surely do enjoy the friendly let
ters of the cousins. I wrote a letter once
before but for some reason was not admit
ted. I hope Aunt Julia will be kind to me
this time and give me a small corner in the
Letter Box. J.ike most of the cousins 1 live
in the country and I am a lover of music
and flowers. 1 have medium complexion,
blonde hair and gray eyes. I will leave my
age for you to guess, it is between eighteen
and twenty-four. Who is my twin, April

photos if you cnn. I will bid you all adieu.

Evergreen, Ala., Paul Route.
Hello, Aunt Julia! Will you please let me
in for just a few minutes? I want to thank
you for printing my other letter, and f hope
you will print this letter, as I want to cor
rect a little mistake I made in my other
letter. Big Creek is three-quarters of n
mile wide instead of three-quarters of a
mile long, as I stared in my other letter. 1
also want to thank all the cousins who have
written me. I have received several nice
letters and it will be impossible for me to
answer all, so, cousins, if you all don’t get
answers don't think your letters are not ap
preciated. I have received seventeen letters
and two post cards in one week, and only
two have guessed my correct age, which is
thirty-eight years. I will say to those ask
ing what county I live in that it z is Pierce
county and near the line of Appling. I live
on a large farm. Papa Owns two large
farms adjoining his home place and one
about six miles from here, in Appling
county. One of my brothers got both his
thighs broken by his tern running away with
him on last Christmas eve, and he has not
walked a step since. I surely will be glad
when he gets to walking again. With lots
of love for auntie and the cousins,

Pear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I have been
n silent reader of The Journal for some time
and I enjoy reading the letters for boys and
girls. I am a junior in Cherokee County
High school. Have blue eyes and fair com
plexion. I would like to bear from all our
cousins and the silent readers, too. My birth
day is the first of March, who has my birth

Center, Ala., Box .107.
Dear Auntie and Cousins: Here I come
once more to join your charming circle. As
this is a dark, rainy morning and I am so
lonely thought a chat with you cousins and
Aunt Julia would cheer me up. Cousins,
aren’t you all glad that spring is here? I
am. Tile farmers are preparing to make
their crops. I guess you all remember me,
as I wrote the first time in the spring and
then in the fall and am here again in the
windy month of March. Do I hear some one
say she comes too often? 1 guess I do, but
I just can’t help it for the letters are get
ting more interesting every day. Who is
that over there in the corner trying to hide?
Oh, I know, it. is W. M. B. Lovett. Hollo,
there, have you forgotten me? Come again.
Cousins, if any of you have the song “I’ll
Remember You, Love, in My Prayers,” will
you please send it to me. Will return the
favor anyway I can. 1 want to thank the
cousins for the many nice and interesting
letters 1 received and I think I answered
them all. I will not take a subject this
time for I have written once on a subject;
My school has closed and 1 am very lonely
and 1 thought I would just drop in a few
moments. All you cousins write to me, will
answer all the letters I receive, so every
body write. An old cousin.

Dear Auntie and Cousins: Will yon please
admit an Alabama girl into your happy band
of boys and girls? I don't see so many let
ters from our stale, but maybe most of them
are like myself—haven't, courage enough: so
here I make my first attempt and hope that.
I will he admitted. I will first tell yon a
little about myself. 1 will he eighteen June
12. Have I a twin? If so, I would highly
appreciate a letter with photo or a card. 1
have black (bobbed, wavy) hair, fair com
plexion and dark blue eyes. Oh, it doesn’t
matter if I’m pretty or not. 1 love friends
and I more than enjoy reading you dear
cousins’ letters, and I will agree with Aunt
Julia ou Miss Eldna Rimes’ letter; ’twas
fine. The subject of “Manners” is a great
subject, and I hope she will soon come again
with another good subject to talk on. 1
won't take a subject this time, but I think
“Help” is a good subject. When 1 think of
dear Aunt Julia, what a help she is to ns
children. We should help one another if we
expect to have friends. I know my life
would he a misery if I didn’t have some
good friend to cheer me at times. Cousins,
like most of you, I live in the country, ami
isn't, it a nice place to be in the new spring
days? Now the woods are becoming green,
birds are singing, trees budding. Oh,! So
many things to see nnd hoar. Mv father is
a minister. We liVe right near the church.
1 have n real good father, too. We go to
prayer meetings on Wednesday and Sunday
nights and Sunday school every Sunday
morning. J wish all you cousins were near
er, so we could be together some. My father
has had a small history of his life and other
things about the church to which he belongs

We have just got them off the press, 1,000
of them. We get 25 cents for the book.
For pastime I read, crochet and I’m real
fond of outdoor sports. 1 have two brothers
and two sisters younger than I, three sisters
and one brother married. Yes, there is a
crowd of us when wo all get together, and I
wish that we were all at home together yet.
I am afraid I am breaking dear Aunt Julia's
rule, so I'll he going. Remember, cousins,
to let your letters and cards come to a new

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I wonder
if you will admit another Mississippi lassie
into your happy Letter Box. 1 live on a
farm, but I like city life, if nty folks lived
there, but. can't stay there and leave them
on the farm. How many of you cousins
like courting? I moan court where sen
tence is passed on the unjust and some
times the just. I have been going to court
all this last week. I like it fine, I guess
you arc wondering who this sorry writer
looks like, so here goes: I have blue eyes,
blond hair and fair complexion; hair not
bobbed. How many girls ami bovs I■.k <»

Dear Folks:—Here, is the first of
my summer sandwich recipes. I
am giving you this first, because it
is one of my favorites.
1 bottle of stuffed olives (small
size).
6 or 8 slices of breakfast bacon.
1 hard boiled egg.
Broil bacon crisp and dry, chop
together the egg, bacon and olive,
moistened slightly with the fat
broiled out of the bacon, add just
enough mayonnaise dressing to
work smooth. Spread on thin slices
of bread that have been lightly
spread with mayonnaise, cut your
bread crosswise after sandwich Is
made, so two sandwiches from the
two slices of bread, this should fill
12 large sandwiches, or of course 24
when cut.
You will find these sandwiches
most appetizing and “different.”
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
Mary Lee: —There is quite an at
tractive pattern for a voile dress,
it is straight in front, and to the
medium long waist in the back is
joined three sections, of course di
vided into such width as to make
the last one come even with the
front of the dress. These sections
are slightly full, and are put to
gether with a cord. The neck has
a slightly boat line, and the sleeves
are quite short. I think you can
make .this dress by any one piece
dress pattern, the pattern I speak
of is rather expensive, sl. I think.
David: I will certainly be perfect
ly all, right for you to give a din
ner party to a girl from out of
town who is visiting one of your
girl friends if your mother is will
ing and is with you. I think that
would be a very nice thing to do
and I will be glad to get your place
cards for your table. Can, I think,
get very nice ones for 50 to 75c a
dozen and you say you expect to

orate dinner, send me a .stamped en

Mrs. E. T.: The bloomer dresses
for 3 and 4-year-old girls cannot be
improved on. Many of the dresses
are straight from the shoulders, no
I belts being worn, in fact that seems
i to be the favorite this year. Made
I of pongee, with smocking on the
j dress and a. finish of the baby Irish

I lovely, and as you already have the
lace, not costly.
Sub-Deb: Yes, I’m convert to
bobbed hair for young people and
for some older ones where it is be
coming, but I can’t honestly say I
think it is less trouble.
Blue Eyes: Please do not expect
me to write you to go against your

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
The Little Girl of Eighteen Who
Thinks Secret Marriages Are Ro
mantic—ls It Safe to Marry an
Organization Fiend? Why
Can't Men Understand Wom
en? That Ctune-llither
DEAR MISS DIX—I am a girl
of eighteen and am engaged
to a young man, although no
one knows it. My mother does not
approve, of my fiance, mainly be
cause he is of a different religion.
Now my prob
lem is this; We
are g2ing to run
away and get
married the last
of this month
end kept, it a se
cret until after I
graduate from '
h’gh school in
June. I dislike
to disobey my
parents, but they
i force me to this
by their opposi
| tion. The more
i they try to pre
Si
J
-nainw - .-*a«an
vent my marry
ing my sweetheart, the more deter
mined I em to run away.
Besides, I think a secret marriage
is romantic, don't you?
| EIGHTEEN.
Answer: No, my dear, I don’t
think a secret marriage is romantic.
I think it is pitful and tragic. It is
pitiful that any girl has little enough
sense to make a secret marriage,
and it is tragic that by taking one
such false step she can wreck her
life in its very beginning.
Because, my dear, the odor of
scandal invariably hangs around a
secret marriage. It may have been
as legal and honest as any show
wedding ever celebrated with the
boating of drums and pomp and
splendor and bridesmaids and ush
ers and ring bearers and all of one’s
500 friends looking on, but you will
never make ,the public believe it.
Mrs. Grundy -will always shrug her
shoulders and whisper behind .her
hand- and smile disbelievingly when
she peruses the date on your wed
djng certificate.
You see, my dear, marriage is sim
ply the public announcement that
a man and woman are going to live
together honorably, and when thi t
important information is withheld
and the thing is done darkly and
secretly, it gives people the right to
put the wrong interpretation on it.
People who should marry don’t have
to sneak off and do it on the sly.
In your own particular case, let
me entreat you not to do such an
idiotic thing as running off and get
ting secretly married to a boy of
twenty. Surely at your age you
have time enough to wait a few
months. There is no such tearing
hurry as all that, tor when people
are married they are generally mar
ried a long, long time, and when
you make as foolish a marriage as
you are contemplating it will seem
longer.
No girl of eighteen, no boy of
twenty, know what real love is, or
what they are going to be them
selves when they are grown up, or
what kind of a husband and wife
tney are going to want. Few boys of
twenty have any way to support a
family, and the result is that nearly
all early marriages turn out disas
trously. Listen to your parents, my
dear. Wait until you are twenty
one, and then if you still love the
boyand he loves you, marry each
other openly. Don’t cloud your life
with the murky romance of a secret
marriage.
Dear Misg Dix —What is your
opinion of a man who has the or
ganization bug? The man I am en
gaged to is so interested in organiza
tion meetings and goes to so manj’
tern xt our request? We love outdoor life
end wouldn’t exchange our country lite for
city life with any one. As this is our first
attempt, we'll not. describe ourselves, only
say we have our hair bobbed and belong to
the blonde type. We'll leave nut' ages for yon
to guess, it is between fifteen and twenty.
S<> cousins, let your cards and letters come
to two lonely girls.

B. S.—Please send mail separately.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I have
for a long time been reading the letters
of the cousins and enjoyed them all, and
cannot understand why many others do not
write, for it. is certainly one of the most
wonderful places to get acquainted with
other people and places. I live among the
sunny hills of south Georgia, and think it
one of the grandest places in the world. Os
course, it would lie a poor frog that, would
not boost his own pond. I notit' e that some
of the cousins write on some subject and I
think it just grand. If I should take a
subject it would be “Good Manners, or
Etiquette,” as that is one of the things
that we should think more of and that, is
often neglected. For certain sensible rules
of etiquette have come down to us from one
generation to another, today only those that
have stood the test of time are respected
and observed; they have been silently adopt
ed by the common consent of the best cir
cles in America and Europe, and only those
who have followed them faithfully can hope
to be successful in business and social life.
Will Miss Alice Rodgers, of Lyerly, Ga.,
write to me, please. All who have the

haven't, please write to me. With best
wishes to all.

Dea- Aunt Julia: Won't you please adtn”
two happy North Carolina girls ir.-q y- it
merry band of cousins? We hase been read
ing the Council for a long time, and enjoy
it greatly. We live on a farm, like most of
you cousins. How many of you boys ar t
girls like to go to church and Sunday scltC" ?
We go to Sunday school every Sunday. We
want to get a■•■p-a:nted with you all. Our

that when he does come to see me
he is so sleepy he is dull, and we
never have any fun. Now I try not
to be unreasonable about this and I
believe in men and women belonging
to clubs, but there is a limit, and
when it comes to a man devoting
two or three nights a week and
sometimes Sunday to them it is too
much.
Do you think there are any hopes
of changing a man who has this or
ganization fever? Do you think it
would be fair to ask him to choose
between giving up some of these or
ganizations or giving up me? I want
to be just.
PERPLEXED.
Answer:
I think for a man or woman to be
a constitutional "joiner” is almost
as bad as for him or her to be ad
dicted to dope, and one habit is just
about as hard tn cure as the other.
Os course, every one, man and
woman alike, should have some in
tare«t outside of their own homes and
their work, and this is probably best
supplied by clubs. These clubs are
often a source of inspiration and edu
cation. They enable men and women
to be brought in contact with like
m’nded people to themselves and are
often the means of their making
valuable business and personal
friends. Furthermore, clubs carry on
many useful civic, intellectual and
philanthropic movements.
In moderation, the club spirit is a
good thing, but nothing is more eas
ily’ overdone. We all know club wom
en whose whole time and energy are
spent on their clubs, while their
homes are neglected and their chil
dren run the streets. And we all
knpw men with the club habit whose
club dues are so big they absorb their
earnings and whose time is given to
their clubs instead of their business
and their families.
So I think that any woman is very
wise who hesitates about marrying a
man with a highly developed
of organization complex. When a
man joins a matrimonial club he
should resign from most of his other
clubs. His wife has a right to his
evenings and his money.
Dear Miss Dix—Will you answer
these questions for a group of girls
who read your column every night
in the paper?
Why is it that men do not under
stand women?
Just what do women mean when
they say that men do not understand
them?
What is the "come-hither look”
that some women are said to have?
Is it the color or the expression of
the eye. Give an example of it in
some woman of the screen?
ADMIRERS.
Answer:
Men do not understand women be
cause of the difference of sex. No
woman urderstands a man, either,
for the same reason. The two sexes
have different points of view, are
moved by different impulses, hav£
different standards of value, have
had a different training in life: here
tofore, no man understands why a
woman weeps for joy, while a man
registers his joy by getting drunk.
When a woman says that a man
does not understand her she general
ly means she can’t make him do her
way, or that he has criticized her for
seme fault.
Th© “come-hither look” Is what
Barrie calls “that damn charm.” It is
a lure, magnetism, the thing that
draws us to a woman, but it has
nothing to do with the color or beau
ty of the eye. Theda Bara is the
traditional movie vamp, but I think
the "come-hither look” in her eye is
too bold. I should pick out Mary
Pickford of the demure eyes.
stop for this time. We want to hear from
all the cousins and will answer all letters
received. Lots of love to Aunt Julia. From

Cover Crops Suited to the Peach
Orchard
H. 8., Greenville, Ga., writes:
We have a peach orchard three
years old, and wish some advice
on what, to sow in the orchard.
Which would be best to use,
Brabham peas or O-too-tan soy
beans?
There is no reason why you should
not use either one of the crops sug
gested in your peach orchard. The
Brabham cowpea is a good, stand
ard strain, largely resistant to the
nematode worm. It yields a good
quality of grain and makes a very
good cover crop for orchard pur
poses. An excellent quality of hay
can be made from this crop.
The O-too-tan soy bean is one of
the fine-stemmed varieties. It is
semi-upright in growth. It takes a
longer season in which to develop
than the cowpea or any other of the
standard varieties of soy beans. The
seed are small in size, therefore a
relatively small quantity will plant
an acre. The O-too-tan soy bean
makes an excellent shade crop and!
a very fine quality of hay. It is i
readily eaten by live stock because
of the fineness of the stem. In the
matter of grain and hay yields, we
are inclined to think the O-too-tan
will outyield the Brabham pea.
Such, at least, has been our experi
ence here on the college farm at
Athens.
Obtaining Good Seed Corn
J. R. S., Cochran, Ga., writes:
I wish to know where I can get
seed of Blount's 8-eared corn?
What do you think of it as a va
riety for Georgia conditions? Is
it a prolific variety?
Blount’s prolific corn in so far as
I. know, is not grown to any appre
ciable extent in Georgia. In fact,
I know of no one who is raising it
for seed purposes. This variety pro
duces a fair-sized ear and, as a rule,
two ears are produced per stalk. It
takes its name from Professor
Blount, who made some effort to
improve it through the utilization of
the principles of plant breeding.
Jt is an early maturing corn, mak
ing a. good growth of stalk and leaf.
It is fairly satisfactory therefore
for silage purposes, and I think it
may be regarded as what we call a
“prolific” type. It is a relatively hard
and flinty type and makes a good
meal. It probably will not do any
better in Georgia than some of the
other prolific types which have been
shown by tests to be well suited to
our soil and climatic conditions.
Fighting the Fungus Which Causes
Wilt.
W. J. 8., Swainsboro, Ga.,
writes: I have a piece of land
that is infested with black root,
and has been so affected for
eight years. Hardly anything
will grow on it. What treat
ment would you recommend and
what crops would grow best
on it?
By “black root” you probably re
fer to what is known as “wilt” dis
ease. This is caused by a specific
fungus which resides in the soil and
retains its viability for several
years-. It is a mistake to grow
plants of this character which are
subject to the wilt disease. It is
also good practice not to seed any of
the legumes which are subject to

With this thought in mind, we
suggest, that you plant velvet beans
on this land. We are inclined to
think that it will provide the bsst
crop for you to use under trie cir
cumstances. It. is as likely to prove
resistant to this trouble as any crop
we can recommend. The velvet bean
is a soil-builder. It. can also be re
lied on to make a fairly satisfactory
hay and a. good yield of grain. It is
well adapted for cultivation in your
section of the state.
The beans may be ground and fed (
in combination with corn and cob
meal and oats or cotton seed meal to
beef cattle or dairy cows. It is best
to plant, an early maturing variety
of beans, such as the Georgia or 90
Day. The beans may be planted in
five-foot rows, the grain being dis
tributed s foot apart in the drills.

BANISH CHICKEN LICE
IN 24 HOURS
An Amazing New Formula Seems to
Rid Fowls of Lice, Mites,
Like Magic—Quickly Doubles !
Poultry Raiser’s Profits—-Big I
$1 Package Free
Lice, chigger*, fleas, mites, etc., prob
ably steal one-third to one-half of the
poultry raiser’s profits by sucking the
very life blood from the flock. But,
there is no longer reason to dread these
foes of the poultryman since t r .ie per
fection ot a remarkable new mineral
formula by science.
Amazing as It
may seem, it is
now apparently
possible to bs rid
for all time of
profit - stealing
lice, mites, etc.,
and the bother of
i greasing, dusting'
and spraying, by,
simply dropping a
scientific little
tablet in the
fowl’s drinking water. The tablet quickly
dissolves and within a day or two after
the fowls drink the water, the lice.i
fleas, etc., seem to leave like magic,
according to the testimony of thousands
of users from all parts of the United
States. One poultry raiser says, “The
lice left my' flock like a swarm of gnats
on a sultry morning.”
Not only does this simple method seem
to be one of the greatest discoveries ever
made for the poultry raiser in banishing
lice and mites, but also appears to make!
all fowls healthier, lay more, and grow

compound produces an odor offensive to
lice, thus apparently causing them to'
leave the premises, you will find that
your flock actually like the water, als®
that neither the meat or eggs are
changed In flavor. Tha only difference
being that the eggs seem to be whiter
and of higher quality.
