FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Commercial Plant Food Needed by
Tomatoes
D. M. E., Nicholls, Ga., writes:
I am expecting to put out some
tomatoes, and wish to know if it
will do to put out sulphate of
potash as a source of potash?
There certainly can be no objec
tion to using sulphate of potash as
a garden fertilizer. This is a high
grade potash and freer from impuri
ties than the lower grades. Kainit,
for instance, contains a good deal of
chlorine. This element is supposed
to affect the quality of Irish pota
toes, tobacco and sugar cane. Sul
phate of armonia, on the other hand,
may be used with advantage in as
sociation with this crop.
A garden fertilizer should ordinari
ly contain about fl to 10 per cent
phosphoric acid, 3 1-2 to 4 per cent
nitrogen, and 4 to 6 per cent potash.
Excellent fertilizers for garden pur
poses may be made up of acid phos
phate and sulphate of potash, de
pending on the crop to be fertilized,
and an admixture of such carriers
of nitrogen as cotton seed meal,
blood, tankage, fishscrap, nitrate of
soda, and sulphate of ammonia.
Garden crops require liberal fertili
zation, and the use of SOO to 1,000
pounds of a formula carrying the
percentages of plant food indicated
are recommended for your section
of the state.
Ift The Easiest Way to Poison the
“ Weevil
•T. T. S., Bonaire, Ga., writes:
What is the best method of
poisoning the boll weevil? What
do you think of the syrup mix
ture as a poison?
Calcium arsenate is as yet the
only effective poison which has been
found for use against the boll weevil.
It may be applied in one of two
ways: 1. As a dust spray through
out the growing season. 2. In the
form of a molasses mixtures in the
early part of the growing season and
as a. dust spray in the latter part
of the season. Personally, we think
that the molasses mixture will be
found effective up to the blooming
stage. One or two applications should
be made previous to this time. A
good mixture may be prepared by
taking a gallon of water and dis
solving three pounds of calcium
firsenate therein. Then mix this ma
terial with two gallons of molasses.
Apply the mixture to the bud of the
cotton plant. After the cotton plants
attain some size, dusting must ’ j
resorted to. It is important that a
Y, er .v fine dust cloud be developed.
This will call for the use of the best
machinery attainable. Hand-guns
can of course be used, but they do
not constitute as good equipment as
the two-row power machines which
are now on the market.
It is very important for you to
secure only the highest grade of
Calcium arsenate. The molasses
mixture should- be made just before
It is to be applied to the cotton
plant, and any residue left over
should be buried in the ground. This
Is necessary due to the fact that a
chemical change takes place in the
mixture on standing, which would
result in the burning of the foliage
of the cotton plant, should it be ap
plied Jthereto.
Prolific Varieties of Corn are Best
Ij. P. C., Milwaukee, Wis.,
writes: What variety of corn will
do best in Glynn county, Geor
gia?
In southeast Georgia, we would
plant some of the prolific varieties
of corn. There are quite a num
ber of these which have been de
veloped in the state. They are
characterized by the production of
two or more relatively small .arg
per stalk. Some of these types are
quite flinty and, therefore, less sub
ject to weevil damage than the soft- i
er kinds which naturally contain
more starch. We have tested a great
many varieties of corn here at the
college for some years past. We
hav ■ also tried these varieties out at
various points throughout the state
Our conclusion is to the effect that
there are four or five strains of the
so-called upland varieties which may
be planted with a cons'derable de
gree of -at is faction. The names of
the varieties we suggest as best
suited to your conditions are the
Marlboro, Whatley’s Prolific Hast
ings and Cocke's Prolific and
Hickory King. The Marloboro is a
white-grained. white-cob variety
probablv a. little flintier than What
ley s Prolific. Whatley’s Prolific is
a white-grained, red-col) variety' that
originated in south Georgia and is
certainly well adapted for cultivation
on the upland soils throughout that
section of the country. Cocke's Pro
line is ft. taller growing variety than
any of th ©others mentioned. Hickory
Kmg is characterized by the de
velopment of a very large grain. We
do Ant think that there is a great
li ?,-choose between these va
n.s to general adaptability for
in the section of the state
|>Whieh you refer. It is important
mat you secure the highest grade of
seed possible.

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL
y i lands of north Georgia lead us to
the following conclusions: 1. That a
relatively high percentage of quickly
available phosphoric acid should be
supplied in the formulas. 2. A mod
erate amount of nitrogen will prove
beneficial. 3. You should provide a
fair supply of available potash. Our
s disposition would therefore be to rec
[• ommend for use in your section of
b the country formulas containing fl
to 10 per cent phosphoric acid, 2 1-2’
f to 3 per cent nitrogen and 3 per cent
l1 potash. You can probably secure
the available phosphoric acid most
• cheaply through the utlization of
acid phosphate. It makes no dif
ference from what source the nitro
gen is obtained, though probably sul-
b phat© of potash and nitrate of soda
| will provide available plant food of
1 this character as cheaply as it can
be obtained from any other source.
The potash may be derived from
muriate or kainit.
■’ _ It is our belief that at least 300 to
’ 500 pounds of a formula of this
3 character should be used under the
■ drill row. We have obtained good
results from using only a part of
the formula under corn at the time
r j of planting and using the rest as a
r side application when the corn is
I about a foot high. Our experience
1 with nitrate of soda as a side appli
cation has been very contradictory,,
and, under the conditions prevailing'
In your section of the state, we hard
ly think you will, find it profitable
to use side applications of nitrogen
alone. Several things of course gov
ern the application of fertilizers ’to
corn. If you have' rich bottom land,
less commercial plant food will be
B required. If your soils are old and
i have been cropped for a long time,
• and are thin, maximum applications
3 should be made.
“ Best Source of Irish Poiato Seed
j T. W. T., Vidalia, Ga., writes:
t It has bee nreported to us that
< you consider the Minnesota Red

We have not taken the position
thMt seed potatoes from Minnesota
were of any better quality than
those obtained from Maine or pos

We just can’t do without, it, for we just
think any home would be lonely without
such a fine paper. We go to Sunday school
every Sunday. We have some beautiful
flower seed and good books we would like
to exchange with the cousins. We will give
a short description of ourselves and bid

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Aunt. Julia,
please open the door and let two Georgia
boys come in and chat with the cousins a
short while. But, before we go any farther,
we want a seat by you. 1 am' sure, as this
is our first attempt, auntie will let us in.
Cousins, it is not a rule for the boys to say
much about Aunt Julia, but we must say
site is a sweet little aunt or she wouldn’t
have thia council for us young folks to get
acquainted, now. would she? I guess some
of you are wondering how we look. Well,
don't worry about that, for we are not what
you might call real good-looking boys, but,
then, we pass all right to go by in a burry.
Yoh understand, don't you? Well, to make
a long story short, wo will send our de
scription to all who write us. Would like
to exchange photos with some of yon girls.
I, Willie, am a carpenter, and 1, Layton,
am a farmer. We are just young mon, be
tween the ages of eighteen and twenty-four.
Come on, cousins, and guess our ages. We
will take a subject next time it we. are per
mitted. Now, cousins, do help us to keep
nur letter out of the wastebasket and we
will appreciate your help very much. All
of you cousins write us, as we would like
it only the better if we wore to get six
hundred letters from all over the U. S .A.
And if you want two jolly correspondents,
let your cards and letters come to your new

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins; We sub
scribed for The Journal and, after reading
the cousins’ letters in the first issue, I just
couldn't keep from writing. I think Aunt
Julia's Council is the grandest thing in The
Journal. I live on a farm, five miles from
town, and like farm life fine, except some
hot. day, when I am at work in the field
and got so hot; then, sometimes, I just wish
I wouldn't see the. farm again. Wltat have
you been doing those winter months for
pastjme? What time I wasn't in school I
was reading; but since spring lias come I
can't stay in the house any longer. How
many of you cousins belong to the Girls'
Canning eluli? I for one, and like it fine,
and I am sure the rest of you would if you
would only join. Since this is my first let
ter. I will tell you what I am like: I have
dark brown (bobbed) hair, dark brown eyes,
medium complexion. Will leave my age for
'you to guess; it is between thirteen and six
teen. How many of yon have my birthday,
November 21? I would like to lieitr from
all of you cousins, so write and send photos.
Love to all. Your new niece and cousin.

Dear Aunt and Cousins; Wonder what
you're all doing this dreary, rainy day. For
myself, I've been reading. I've read every
thing on the place that [ could find to read,
and, as I have nothing else to occupy m.v
“valuable'' time. I've decided to write to
'The Journal. Now, I didn't mean that I
took this as a last resort, but, you see. I
just had “reading” on my mind. So now
I'll try to describe the plkee where I live.
I live in tlie northwestern part of Georgia,
which. I think, should be noted for its hills,
ditches and poor soil. But wait. I forget
that I mustn't “run down” my community
this way, so I’ll not say any more about
where I live except that we have good
schools and churches here. I notice sev
eral of the cousins discuss some interesting
subject, as “Love,” “Mother,” “Father.”
etc., but I'm going to take for my subject
an entirely different one from these; it Is
“Modern Conveniences in the Farm Home,”
and especially the kitchen. What's the use
of unnecessary labor? It doesn't pay you
anything. Wouldn’t it be much better to
have tilings conveniently arranged, so that
that extra work you did would pay yon?
Now, for instance, take this; carrying water
from a well or spring a quarter of a mile
a«n.v, when the well could have been right
at tlie door. And, of course, there's just lots
of others I could mention, but I don’t think
it s necessary, as most everyone is person
ally acquainted with them. So now IT! give
you a brief description of myself and go.
1 have blue-grA.v eyes and medium brown
hair. I have a camera and will exchange
snapshots with anyone who cares to write.
1 will be seventeen the 30th of April. So
now 1 must go. 1 promise a prompt reply
to all letters I receive. Your niece and
cousin,

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I am going
to write just a few lines to the Council, as
1 have always wanted to write, but just
could not pick up enough courage to and was
afraid us Mr. Wastebasket. Well, cousins,
what are you all doing for yourselves? I
surely do get lonesome. I wish some of tlie
cousins would come and stay a while with
me. I am just a little country girl, and I
surely do get lonesome, too. 1 am keeping '
house for my dad. He is farming this year,
planting watermelons and cucumbers, and I I
give Aunt Julia and all of you cousins an ■
invitation to come and help eat seme when ,
they get ripe. I see most of you cousins ‘
take a subject, and I think it makes your I
letters more interesting, but I won't take I
one. I will leave tlie space for a more
gifted writer. Miss Blanch Alford, your i
ideal for a busband was good. 1 won't bt -
gin to tell mine, for it would take ton much
space, but he must be alt that it takes to be '
a good honest man. Miss Winona Smith. ,

find it a job, although I enjoy it. I have

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS OiN HEART AND HOME
Clothes Give a Girl the Chance to
Express Her Individuality and De
velop That Elusive Personality
—Make Most of Whatever
You Have
fTA HE girl who wishes to culti
vate that elusive something
that we call personality does
well to pay much attention to her
dress. This sounds like superfluous
advice to the sex whose brains are
mostly cut on the bias and shirred
in the middle,
and which is
more concerned
over the hang of
a skirt than it is
over the state of
its Immo rt al
soul.
It is not too
much to say
that three
fourths of wom
en’s thoughts
and interest in
life and heart
felt desires and
envies are con-
Sy
Kzi
.. maw Mt—
centrated upon , clothes, and the
marvel always is that they can put
so much effort on a subject and get
such poor results.
For the great majority of women
only think of dress in terms of fash
ion, and they follow the mode of
the moment as sheep follow their
leader over a wall. They wear blue
or purple, pink or green, short skirts
or long skirts, tight ones or full
ones, without any reference to their
complexions or whether their ankles
are slyphlike or like the legs of a
piano, or whether they are living
skeletons, or have feather-bed fig
ures.
The result is that thousands upon
thousands of women look as if their
worst enemy had bought their
clothes, and that their hats were a
premeditated insult to their faces.
But they go their 'way, serene and
happy, having done the worst they
could to themselves, but blissful in
the knowledge that they are wearing
what everybody else is wearing.
Apparently it never enters the
average woman’s head that by
clothing herself in the feminine uni
form of the hour she makes herself
indistinguishable in the mob, or that
she could call attention to herself by
breaking away from it, and dress
ing to suit her own particular type.
Still less does it occur to her that
her clothes offer her an Invaluable
mode of self-expression, and that by
them she can emphasize her good
points and camouflage her defects.
Yet every moving picture, every
play she sees, offers a girl an ob
ject lesson in the psychology of
clothes that she does not heed. She
never asks herself why the innocent,
trusting maiden, too artless for her
.own good, always wears a white
muslin and a blue sash; why the in
genue is always a. mass of fluffy
ruffles; why the betrayed heroine
always wears a slinky black dress;
why the adventuress is clothed in
crimson and spangles; why the vamp
invariably wears long jade earrings,

but am twenty years young. And if any

quite a lot of splendid letters from the dis- ;
ferent states, .but not many from Alabama.
I wonder what is tlie matter witli our splen- .

tors as the other states. I haven't been get- ’■
ting The Atlanta Journal but a short while i
but I certainly do think it is a good paper. I
especially the Letter Box. 1 will be glad j
when spring comes as tiiat is my favorite |
season, then the earth is covered with her I
green carpet and the little birds sing their
beautiful songs. As I bear them sing, I
often wonder wiiat this world would be
without t iie little bird* and their sweet
songs. If any one cares to write to mo I
v ■ .- . , e highly
appreciated and you will ger answers. A
n-w cousin. EAOLA POSEY.
Haleyville, Ala.. K. F. D. 1.
Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: After
gathering up courage enough to write, I will
try to do so. I will not take a subject, but,
if I were to. it would be on “Love. Kind
ness and Friends.” I live in the little town
nf Mount Vernon. We rent our house and
have only about an acre of land for garden
ing. Os course, I like the towns and small
cities, but prefer the country far ahead of
either the city or the town. I attend school
at Brewton Parker, better known as B. P. I.
I am fifteen years old, have light hair and
blue eyes and am in the ninth grade. I
love nature, out-of-door sports and out-of
deer life. I am a member of the Mount
Vernon ‘Method sr church "nd always try to
attend both ch'ir< h and Siindav s. hool. Our
preacher at present is Mr. L. E. B;ady. We
and a quart of beads, and very little
else.
Yet astute stage managers have
found that the surest way to make
an audience visualize a woman in a
certain way is to have her dress the
part. A girl might, of course, be as
innocent in a crimson dress as a
while one; a women might be as
heartbroken in a pink silk and lace
negligee as she is in a bedrabbled
black alpaca, but it would take a
long argument to convince us of it,
and we wouldn’t weep nearly as
freely over her woes as we do when
we get an eyeful of her in the clothes
that tell us at once just what a poor,
innocent, persecuted heroine she is.
Surely this would suggest to every
girl the wisdom of retiring to her
closet, and having a heart-to-heart
session with her wardrobe, and a
vivisection party with her character,
and thereby try to find out how to
drees her soul as her body, so as
best and most effectively to press
agent her individuality, so to speak.
If she is of the bold and dashing
type, Jet her flaunt herself like a
sunflower in daring costumes and
flaming colors, but if she is of the
quiet and gentle sort, soft fabrics,
chiffons and laces and pastel shades
belong to her, and make her look
like the traditional modest violet
that every man dreams of securing
as a wife.
Let the girl who is flat-chested
annd athletic rejoice in her sport
clothes. That is her note, and brings
out a certain piquant boyishness
which is her greatest attraction. But
let the girl who is plump, and gra
cious curves, make the most of her
feminity by decking herself out in
the frilliest frocks that she can find.
Each will lose in charm if she swaps
her- plumage for the others.
Dangling ornaments, floating rib
bons and jingling bracelets belong
to the bay and foolish and frivolous,
but they detract from the dignity
of the stately, thoughtful, serious
minded woman. A tailor-made suit
is equal to a certificate of virtue,
and when a girl is applying for a
job a plain, dark-colored suit will
do more to land her the position than
a gilt-edged reference. Nobody ever
believes that a girl in a low-necked,
no-sleeved frok can ever be a com
petent business woman. She doesn’t
look it.
Every woman knows that her
eyes seem twice as blue,, if she has
a. blue lining to her hat, and that
she can turn a spotlight on her ev
ery freckle by wearing a spotted
dress. In the same way she can
bring out her characteristics by the
way she dresses. If she wishes to
emphasize her cuteness, she can do
it by dressing like a baby doll. If
she wishes to be thought a goddess,
she can add to her divinity by long
trailing robes. If she wishes to be
thought a good sport and treated as
a pal by men, sport clothes are hers,
while if domesticity is her long suit,
she can turn the trick by wearing
ruffled little white aprons at home.
So study your type girl, and dress
the part, if you want to make the
most of whatever charms with which
nature has endowed you.

HOOSE UNO SEMTE
TO POSTPONF O!TE
OF JIP EXCLUSION
WASHINGTON, April 30.—With
indications pointing to an agree
ment by senate and house immigra
tion bill conferees for postponement
of the effective date of the Asiatic
provision until July 1, a renewal of
the Japanese exclusion fight, in the
senate at least, ppears certain.
The postponement is understood
to have been suggested by President
Coolidge to give time for diplomatic
exchanges between Washington and
Tokio that would, without giving so
much offense to the Japanese, at
tain the end sought in the exclu
sion provision.
The effective date was the only
point at which the exclusion provi
sions adopteu by the house and sen
ate contained any material differ
ence. The house provision left the
exclusion provision, like all others,
to become effective July 1, upon ex
piration of the present law, but the
senate adopted an amendment pro
posed by Senator Reed making it
operative immediately after enact
ment.
GRATITUDE AT COOLIDGE S
EFFORTS EXPRESSED AT TOKIO
TOKIO, April 30.—(8y the Asso
ciated Press.) —Gratiflcation for
President Coolidge’s efforts to effect
a compromise agreement on the
Asiatic exclusion clause of the
United States immigration bill was
expressed by Foreign Minister Mat
sui today in a conversation with
newspaper men.
“The Japanese government,” said
the minister, “is confident of the
president’s sincerity and ability to
find a suitable way out of the prob
lem.”
North Carolina Member
Sings Paen of Industry
To Congress in Speech
WASHINGTON, April 30.—Praises
of the “grand old state of North Caro
lina” were sung in the house today
by one of its representatives—Aber
nethy, a Democrat from the third
district.
“If all the cigarettes . made in
North Carolina were rolled into one,”
he said, “a young man could lean
against the south pole, light his cig
arette frotn the fire of Halley’s comet
and blow smoke around the seven
seas.
“If all the tables made in the state
were stretched into one festive board,
they would seat all the banquet
guests from the days of King Arthur
to the recent fiasco cf the arms con
ference.
“And if all the stockings were made
into one huge sock it would hold all
the toys of Santa Llaiis.”

25 PER CENT SLASH
IN TAX ON INCOMES
PARTLY ACCEPTED
WASHINGTON, April 30.—Secre
tary Mellon’s proposal for a 25 per
cent reduction in the tax on earned
incomes was agreed upon today by
the senate with modification.
The maximum amount of Income
on which the reduction could be ap
l plied was cut to SIO,OOO from the
$20,000 by the house. All
incopies of $5,000 or less, however,
would be Considered earned for pur
poses of the reduction.
The finance committee has turned
down the house proposal to increase
the estate tax rates from a maximum
of 25 per cent to 40 per cent and has
also eliminated from, the bill the
house provision for a gift tax.
Action of the house in opening the
tax returns to inspection by certain
congressional committees was broad
ened by the finance committee to
permit the committee to make pub
lic any details found in the returns
and several senators have introduced
amendments proposing complete
publicity of returns. *
