FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Handling a Corn Crop on New
Ground
J. F. C., Box Spring, Ga„
writes: I have five acres of
good land to plant to corn this
year. It has been cultivated
only two years. Please advise
me how to fertilize this land to
make the greatest possible
yield.
Your letter does not state whether
the land you intend to plant to corn
is upland or bottom land. Os course
bottom lands are richer than up
lands,. and heavy fertilization is
therefore not essential. If you ex
pect to plant your corn on the red,
upland soils of your section, then I
would advise you to proceed as fol
lows:
Enrich the land with any vegeta
ble matter you can secure. Yard
manure is good for this purpose.
Two tons and upward per acre
should be applied. Well rotted j’ard
manure or fertilizer may be put in
the row where the corn is to stand.
We prefer to plant in the water fur
row. It is best to mix the compost
well with the soil by means of a
bull tongue. The fertilizer may also
be worked into th© soil at the same
time. For your section, we advise
the use of a 10-3.5-4 formula. We
would put 200 pounds under the drill
row when the corn is planted. Two
hundred pounds should be applied
when the corn is about knee high,
and 100 pounds when it is bunch
ing to tassel. The fertilizer may be
distributed broadcast between the
-(♦ill rows and worked in with a cul
ftivator. It makes little difference
;from what source the plant food is
derived so that- it is readily availa
ble. Standard carriers of phosphoric
acid and potash may all be used in
your section of the state. We be
lieve you will obtain the largest
yields from using the prolific types
of corn. Frequent, shallow cultiva
tion will be the most profitable pro
cedure to follow after the corn has
been brought to a stand.
Authentic Yields of Coni in Georgia
J. G. 8., Mclntosh, Ga., In
quires as to the largest au
thentic yield of corn made by
the members of the Boys’ club
organization. Professor ,T. K.
Giles, of the extension division,
has gathered together the follow
ing data:
Ben Leath, Kensington, Walker
county, is the .state champion corn
grower. He succeeded in 1911 in
producing 214 bushels on one acre.
In 1910, Joe Stone, Center, Jack
son county, grew 130 bushels on one
acre.
In 1915, Ellsworth Watkins, Jack
son, Butts county, grew 166 bushels
ofie one acre.
In 1916, Hubert McCort, Cochran,
Bleckley county, grew 118 bushels
on one acre.
In 1920, Leo Mallard, Statesboro,
Bullock county, grew 14S bushels on
one acre.
In 1923, Marcus Mangum, Manas
sas, Tattnall county, grew 119 bush
els on one acre. Joe Mac Brown,
Dewey Rose, Elbert county, grew
13 1-2 bushels on one acre.
The corn grown by these boys was
harvested in a drj’ condition by dis
interested parties, who attested the
yields.
The following is a statement from
Leo Mallard, who lives in the Coastal
Plains- section:
“I selected one acre of black,
sandy loam soil with clay subsoil,
which was plantedjast year in corn
and watermelons. Beef cattle were
fed here for a while last winter. I
used a three-mule, sulky plow to
break the ground up with-. 1 did this
the twelfth of May. On the thir
teenth, I harrowed it with a disc
and hackney harrow. On the four
teenth, I barred off with a two-mule
Chattanooga and split the middles
with a two-mule Chattanooga lister.
The next day, I subsoiled it with a
scooter. This day, the fifteenth of
May, I planted the corn with a Cole
planter in five-foot rows, twelve
inches apart in the drill. My soil
was in perfect condition when I
planted. I cultivated shallow six
times with a harrow.
“The only fertilizer I used was
just one hundred pounds of nitrate
of soda -and five tons of compost
from cows. I had perfect weather
conditions. It rained plenty, and my
corn did not suffer very much for
want of water. We shelled and
weighed the corn, which showed a
yield of one hundred and forty-eight
bushels and eleven pounds to the
acre.
"Many people came to see my corn
while it was growing. *1 am now
going to sow this land in oats, and.
after the oats, will again plant corn.’’
The Value of Ashes as a Source
of Potash
.T. H. F., Cayce, S. C., writes:
I desire information in regard to
A using oak ashes under cotton
and corn. I have a good lot of
I raw oak ashes, and as I have
n/ftver used ashes before, I do
not know how they should be
applied or iq -what quantity.
Ashes constitute one of the best
sources of potash. They vary a
great deal in composition, owing to
a number of conditions.
I— The.character of the trees from
which they are derived. Hardwood
ashes contain more plant food than

Other Women Will Benefit

Skowhegan, Maine.—“l was sick
most of the time and could not get

so I would have

You have just read how Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
helped Mrs. Richardson. She gave
it a trial after she saw what it had
done for other women. For nearly
fifty years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound has been doing good.

those derived from soft wood, such
as pine.
2—The potash in ashes is readily
soluble, and, if they are exposed to
rain, a good part of it will be washed
out and lost.
An analysis of wood ashes shows
them to contain 2 per cent of pot
ash, 2 per cent of phosphoric acid,
and 32 per cent of lime. Leached
ashes, on the other nand, contain
about 30 per cent of moisture, 1.1
per cent of p’otash, 1.5 per cent of
phosphoric acid, and 29 per cent of
lime. Ashes are in such a finely di
vided state that the food they con
tain becomes almost immediately
available to plants. They also exert
a. very good physical effect upon
soils. The lime content is helpful
in sweetening the land and main
taining it in good physical condition.
Ashes should be applied broadcast,
as a rule, and at the rate of 500
pounds and upward per acre. They
should be put on some days before
the crop is to be planted. It is not
good practice to mix them with
other forms of fertilizer.
Ashes derived from hardwood
should be serviceable when applied
in the manner indicated above. I
would not hesitate to use the equiv
alent of 1,000 pounds per acre. Both
corn and cotton require considerable
amounts of potash, especially upon
our thinner and sandier soils.
Therefore, wood ashes should prove
very serviceable in supplying this
element to the degree which is nec
essary.
Eradicating Borer Damage From
Pecans
R. P. N.» Dover, Fla., writes:
I have some pecan trees that
are affected with borers. How
can 1 prevent them from destroy
ing the trees? 1 have plugged
the holes with wooden pegs to
prevent the sap from running
out. Your assistance in this mat
ter will be appreciated.
The tjat-headed borer to which you
’ refer has gained access to the pecan
■tree. The best policy is to examine
| the trunk carefully and remove the
larvae of the borer by means of a
knife. As a rule, it is not difficult
to detect the point of ingress. You
should examine the orchard at least
twice a year. In removing the
worms, be careful not to injure the
tree by cutting more than is abso
lutely necessary. *
Several types of insects may affect
the foliage of your trees. It is prob
able that the pecan leaf case-bearer
constitutes at least one of these. The
best method of procedure in this case
is to spray with arsenate of lead dur
ing the late summer. The solution
should be made up at the rate of one
pound of the powdered or two pounds
of the paste form to each fifty gal
lons of water. To this should be
added three pounds of slacked stone
lime. Do not use arsenate of lead
without the addition of slaked stone
lime, as more or less injury to the
foliage or the nuts is likely to result.
Controlling the Curculio and
H. A. S., Madison, Ga., writes:
Please give me formula for
spraying peaches and apples at
this time to prevent worms and
rot. My peaches all rotted and
fell off last year before they
got ripe.
Brown Rot
Now is the time to spray apples
for protection against damage by the
codling moth, scab and curculio. This
is probably one of the most impor
tant sprayings you can make on that
account. Thorough work in connec
tion with this undertaking is of the
utmost importance. The formula to
use is made up as follows: Lime sul
phur, 1 degree Baume,’ one pound ar
senate of lead powder per fifty gal
lons of water.
Peaches should be sprayed with
self-boiled lime-sulphur (8-8-50). To
each fifty gallons of this add two
pounds of arsenate of lead paste, or
one pound of powder. This is the
most important spray to prevent
wormy fruit. Two or three weeks
later, spray again, and then about
six weeks later use self-boiled lime
sulphur alone. This spraying is very
important to prevent rot in ship
ment as well as on the trees, but ar
senate of lead must never be used
in this particular application.
Jackson Appointment
On Cotton Statistics
Board Is Confirmed
L. B. Jackson, director of the
state bureau of markets, Tuesday
received confirmation of reports
from Washington that he had been
selected as a member a special
commission of five men from the
cotton states to supervise the issu
ance of cotton statistics by the de
partment of commerce and the cen
sus bureau of the United States.
The official appointment will be
made by Secretary Herbert Hoover,
on recommendation of Senator Wil
liam J. Harris.
In addition to being director of
the state bureau of markets, oper
ated by the state department of ag
riculture, Mr. Jackson is editor of
the Market Bulletin, issued weekly
by the bureau and sent to 100,000
farmers in Georgia. He has been
in close touch with the marketing of
farm products for many years, and
has been especially active in work
with the co-operative cotton, peanut
and syrup marketing associations of
the state.
The purpose of the new commis
sion is to coordinate statistics on
cotton conditions, in order that the
farmers may have accurate and re
liable information at all times, and
be protected against false reports
that would have a tendency to af
fect the price of cotton.
The other four members of the
commission have not been designat
ed but all will be appointed from
southern states where cotton is
grown. It was said.

Dear Aunt .Tulia and Cousins: Will you
please admit three jolly South Carolina girls
into your happy band of boys and girls for
a short chat? So many of the cousirts take
a subject, but we will wait until next time.
It has been several years since we wrote.
The letters have improved so much since
then. Yes. it would be nice to see auntie's
picture at the top of our page. We can
remember when it used to be there. Aunt
Julia, Louise has your birthday; November
if she was twenty-one. How many of you
cousins go to Sunday school? We do, and
also to the Epworth league. Annie Belle
was twenty-two the 23d of July, and Annie

Dear Aunt Julia; I wonder if you will let
me in for a little bit. I am a little girl,
still in my teens. My eyes are blue as the
sky. I have been keeping house six or
seven years. My dear mother left three
little girls thirteen years ago. I was the
oldest. The sweet baby was taken the year
mother died, so my sister, papa and I are
the family. I hope some day to meet moth
er and little Alma, never to part. My dear
old grandmother Lockwood is visiting us
now. She is very dear to me and my sis
ter. Florence. Cousins, why do you ask the
boys and girls to write to yon, then do not
answer their letters and cards, or do you
not get them? I have written and put my
address on the envelope. It wasn’t returned
to me or answered either. Hope you folks
who have received letters or cards from me
will answer them, as I get lonesome. Mr.
Arthur Fussell, Bolivar. La., why haven’t
you answered my letter? If you didn’t get
it, write to me again and I will answer.
Your letter of February 2, 1924, was good
Miss Vera Finch, of A. and M. school,
Barnesville, Ga., please write me about the
school there. Aunt Julia, why don’t you
have your picture at the head of the Coun
cil? It would be so nice to see your smiling
face every time we pick up The Journal.
Boys and girls, you ought to be kind to your
mother, so when she is called yon will not
think of things you could have done. Mrs.
Mamie Mazetnore, of Oliver, Ga., I know
how sad it is not to have a mother, but we
can live for Christ, and at. the call rise to
meet mother. My aunt Is very kind and
true. She surely is sweet to me. When
I want anything done that I cannot do she
is willing to do it for me. Girls, please
write and toll me about your home town or
country. Has anyone the book, ‘‘The Secret
of the Storm Country?” If so, please write
me, for I want to get it. Your little niece
and cousin.

Dear Aunt .Tulia and Cousins: Will you
please admit one more little Georgia girl
into your happy circle of boys and girls?
Cousins, I live on a farm and like farm
life fine; don’t think I would exchange
with any city boy or girl. It is raining
here today and I have to stay in the house.
I don’t like it much. I have written before,
but was not admitted. How many of you
cousins like to go to school? I do, and
went, every day last school term, and I’m
in sixth grade. All you boys and girls
write to a jolly Georgia girl. Your niece
and cousin.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: As I have
just finished reading the cousins’ letters
I in today's paper, and as I get so much
good, interesting information from them,
I thought I would try my luck. There's
nothing that affords tngre pleasure than
reading the cousins’ letters from different
parts of the country. Thus we learn the
ways and ideas of different people. Spring
is here, with all Mother Nature’s beauty.
The woods are full of pretty blue violets,
and the birds have come with their beauti
ful spring songs, it just makes one feel
glad to be here to share the blessings of
this dear old land of ours. I live near the
Mitchell Dam, and often go fishing and
kodaking on the back water las we call it);
my brother runs a motor boat and we take
boat rides of six to eight miles, which 1
enjoy very much. We had a cyclone Jan
uary 10. It blew our bouse down, and al
most ruined everything we had, but didn't
hurt any of us. I'm thinking of taking a
trip to Ohio this summer to see one of my
brothers; be hasn’t been home in nearly a I
year. I’ll write and tell you all about my I
trip when I get back. 1 would appreciate j
it if some one would send a recipe for I
making chow-chow and tomato catsup. I
Would also like some quilt scraps. Will j
answer all who care to 'write. Your cousin, I
(MISS) ZONIE M. DUKE.
Titus. Ala., Rt. 2.
Dear Aunt Julia and Little Friends: Please j
open the door and let us in; it is raining
out here. Wc are two little sisters from
Georgia, and glad we are. As we have ne'et
seen a letter from Collins, we thought we
would write, as there are so many writing.
Our mother takes The Journal and thinks it
the grandest paper ever, and we enjoy the
Letter Box very much. We are farm girls,
too. We live on a beautiful farm of 200
acres, and have a lovely home, a great big
eight-room house, so you see it keeps us all
busy to keep bouse. We do most anything
to help papa, and go to school to Collins
High school. We have a fine school: we
have eight teachers. We. also, love flowers, i
but the cold killed all ours. We kept them
in the house as we haven’t a flower pit. I
Would be glad for you cousins to send us |
some cuttings, and we will return the favor ,
any way we can. Eloise Findley, write to j
us. and tell us where your parents were I
raised. We may be some relation, as moth
er was a Findley. Two of grandpapa's j
brothers get killed in the war long ago. and i
left some children, and we mny be related. ,
Some of you cousins visit us this summer, I
and we will show you all hew to pick to- |
baeeo worms. »s papa is planting some this |
year, also about twelve acres of cotton. ;
So you all see we have work ail the year
round. We have one little brother and three
little sisters, and we nil have grand times
together. We have bobbed hair, of course,
and we love the powder puff, too. Os course
girls want to make themselves as pretty
as they can. We are not going to describe
ourselves this time. Will only say Lucille
is the oldest, but we will let you all guess
our ages. All you cousins write to us. We
will surely reply to all who write.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Please let
nie in for a little while. I am an Arkansas
girl. 1 haven’t seen a letter from this
part of tie country, so I thought I would
write. I live in the country and like it
fine, though I like the city. too. I do not
think it just nor fair the way the country
girls write about the city girls in some
papers. I know lots of city girls who are
just as good and sweet as they can be. I
How many of the cousins are fond of flow
ers? I am just crazy about them, and ex
pect to have lots of them this year. I like
the modest little wood violet best of all.
What do you cousins do for pastime? I ;
read a lot and ramble in the woods. I had
rather spend a morning or an evening in I
the woods than any place I know. I am [
nineteen years old. Will you cousins send ;
me something to read? Just anything, only
I like western stories best. Some of you '

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: As I have
been reading the letters in The Journal
so long, 1 decided I would ask Aunt Julia
to please give me space to become acquaint
ed with so many jolly girls and boys.
I am a girl of 18 years, have medium
brown hair, fair complexion and eyes be
tween a blue and gray. I am the baby of
nine children, but don't think I’m spoiled,
for I’m not. I think it's fun for us to
describe our ‘‘ideal husbands” and wives.
So I'm going to say a little on that line.
He must first be a church member, “a
Baptist,” be honest and kind hearted, have
j brown eyes, black hair, be aout 6 feet 6
' inches tall, weigh from 150 to ISO pounds.
I be a good worker and home maker and not
I desire town life, for I always have planned
| me a little love nest out in the country.
i and I want all kinds of flowers, a garden
; and plenty of chickens and a cow. I don’t
care anythting about the bank account, for
I’m like Dorothy Dix, I believe the couple
! that works and plans together are the
happiest couples in the world. Now some
peole may laugh at our descriptions, but
I wouldn’t be afraid to say there isn’t a
boy or girl living but who thinks of their
future husbands and wives, it's nature and
I believe we should be interested in looking
to that end. Now, don’t you? You cousins
write a lot about your books you wish to
swap. Well, I don’t care anything about
books, but I would be glad to exchange flow
er cuttings, poetry and little love songs
with any of you. I have a poem about
‘‘Women,” I’ll send to The Journal next
time, it Auntie gives me room this week.
I also one on ‘‘What a Sweetheart Is.” So it
j you cousins want it, drop me a few lines
I and send me just any little songs. I'll
i send you the poems. I’m sure I have
I stayed almost too long, nt, cousins, write,
I me all about your countries and yourselves,
i and send photos. I'll exchange with you.
i So here’s hoping for many letters.

J will take for our subject “An Ideal Wife.’
j As Cousins Ida Price ot Osceola, S. C., made
rhe suggestion. . I would like for her to be
a jolly girl, with blond hair and blue eyes:
not too large and not too skinny; always
wearing a smile, with natural rosy cheeks.
A little tan or freckles would not hurt; no
artificial paint. Bobbed hair will be all
O. K., but do not blame anyone but one's
self for bobbing the pretty tresses. A fair
education, not bashful in company, and no
j vamp. Ob, some of the girls will say. they
■ are too hard to please: but this would be
i the kind of a girl to make a man a good
I wife, to my way of thinking. But this is
Leap Year and all will have a chance to be
an "ideal wife.” Let’s all write on sub

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
Can a Girl Love Two Men at the
Same Time?—The Problem of the
Stepmother With Four Children
of Different Temperament.
The Husband Who Js
Always Underfoot
DEAR MISS DlX—Can a girl be
in love with two men at the
same time? Does a person ex
perience real love only once in a
life? Can a person be infatuated
with another person of the opposite
j sex and still not be in love will’
' him?
AN INTERESTED READER.
•MO'-... . raBBT ■■:.:.■ .«««
Answer:
We love dif
ferent people for
different quali
ties. Therefore a
girl may love
one man be
cause he is gen
tlq. and tender,
and chivalrous
toward her, and
she may love
another man be
cause he has the
opposite quali
ties and belongs
to the cave-man
type. Or a girl
might love the quiet dignity of one
man, and adore the rollicking high
spirits of another, but this is a sort
of half love. The perfect love is that
in which we find in one individual
all that we crave to satisfy body and
heart and soul.
As to how many times an indi
vidual may love in a lifetime de
pends upon the person. There are
those who never love but once be
cause they give all they have to
give, they empty out their heart’s de
votion on the one beloved one. And
there are others who are off with
the old Jove and on with the new as
often as occasicn demands. You see
men and women who have married
two and three times, and who seem
to be equally devoted to each wife
and husband. Generally speaking,
the human heart is an inn in which
there is always room for one more
and the latest guest seems to get
the warmest welcome.
Undoubtedly, we can be fascinated
by those we do not love. Many men
and women have a physical attrac”
tion for us, whose principles and at
titude toward life revolt us.

Dear Miss Dix —Three years ago I
married a man with four children.
No two of them are alike in disposi
tion, and no matter what I say to
them for their own good, they laugh
at me. It is a waste of time to tell
their father for he sides with them
and tells me that I take everything
too much to heart, and am worried
too much over their disagreeable
ways and hateful remarks. It seems
my lot is one of the hardest ever
put on a woman’s shoulders and 1
am about to give up.

i will not take from her the correc
tion that they would not dream of
resenting from their own mother
and generally the children’s moth
er’s people, and the neighbors incite
the children to carry on a perpetual
guerrilla warfare with their step
s mother.
! Besides all of this, it takes a lot
of love to enable any woman to en
dure ths faults of childhood, and
this the stepmother lacks. When a
child is born God puts in the heart
of its mother a mysterious affection
that enables her to be deaf to the
noise it makes, instead of having her
nerves rasped by it; that enables her
to see an Inventive mind in little
Johnny’s breaking up the parlor
chairs to make a, choo-choo train,
and that makes it sweet to her to
spend her life toiling for those who
repay with impudence and knocks in
stead of kisses and gratitude.
A hard job that of being a step
mother. One not to be undertaken
except by a crazy woman or a saint.
But remember, stepmother, that you
voluntarily undertook this vicarious
motherhood, and the curse of curses
is upon you unless you treat the
dead woman’s children as kindly as
you would treat your own. There
is no present remedy for your situa
; [ tion unless you turn quitter and
t leave it entirely. But if you do your
duty by these children who are so
unappreciative now the day will
come when they will arise and call
you blessed, and your reward will
be in having raised up worthy men
and women out of those who, lack
ing a mother’s care, might have been
wastrels.
Dear Miss Dix—l have been mar
ried twelve years, and I am a slave,
body and soul. My husband insists
on coming home to lunch, and I
have to cook him a big, hot meal.
Wherever I go he insists on going
also. He says that he loves me so
much that he is not contented with
out me. Never being able to get rid
of him even for a minute of an eve
ning; never having any chance to
do anything I want to do, or go any
place I want to go, or express an
opinion of my own, or have any
privacy, just never being alone, has
got on my nerves so that I almost
hate him, I am so fed up with him.
. Should married life mean this slav
ery? I ask you to tell me.
A MARRIED WOMAN.
Answer: I hope some of the wives
who are forever complaining about
their husbands wanting an evening
off now and then will read your let
ter, Mrs. Married Woman, and .e
--alize that your case is far worse
than theirs. For there is nothing
harder to endure in matrimony than
too much husband, and there is no
woman who has a man perpetually
underfoot ho doesn't want to kick
him out of the way. The secret of
husbands and wives keeping in love
is to take each other’s society in
broken doses.
Yours is a case where drastia
measures are needed, and you will
have to stage a rebellion. Remind
your man that the accepted ideal
husband is the man who goes to
work at 8 in the morning and
doesn’t come back until 5 in the
afternoon. And if he won’t leave
! you of an evening, put on your hat
i and go out and leave him.

SENATORS OF BOTH PARTIES
RAP JAP EXCLUSION DELAY
WASHINGTON, May B.—The
senate heatedly debated the immi
gration bill today, with both Dem
ocratic and Republiaan spokesmen
bitterly assailing the conference re
port postponing Japanese exclusion.
Senator Robinson, Arkansas, the
Democratic leader, opened the at
tack, and he was joined immediately
by Senators Borah, Idaho, and
Johnson, California, Republicans.
The provision directing negotia
tio nos an understanding cancelling
the gentlemen’s agreement, adopted
at the suggestion of President Cool
idge, was assailed as an abrogation
of the principle that immigration is
a purely domestic question.
Senator Harris, Democrat, Geor
gia, one of the conferees, declared
a poll of the house and senate had
shown that “there was no sentiment
for the president's proposal.”
“I am in favor of this bill and I
didn’t want to endanger it,” he
said. “I was afraid the president
might veto it if he didn’t get a vote
on the floor on this proposition. I

Every member of the conference

The conferees Tuesday agreed Up

date March 1. 1925.
Their decision, however, was not
unanimous, and Senator Shortridge,
