FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Marketing Eggs in Georgia
Is it not remarkable that some of
our people should be complaining
about the over-production of eggs in
a state that is still importing them
every day by the carload? Surely,
there is something wrong with the
way in which we are handling the
egg crop. The trouble lies in the
fact that we have not learned how
to market them acceptably. In spite
of the great progress which has tak
en place in this industry during the
past two years, we are far from be
ing on a quantity basis of produc
tion. In other words, there are only
a few isolated sections where there
is any surplus of eggs available at
this time. In these localities, eggs
are being derived from a great va
riety of chickens. They are not
Maiiorm in size or color or quality.
They are not being gathered every
day, properly assorted and graded,
and, therefore, they do not reach
the market in the best condition. On
this account, they are sold at a low
er price than might otherwise be ob
tained. Most of the people who are
complaining about a market for eggs
►only have a few dozen to sell. Not
much can be done to help these folks
until they get on a different basis
of production. However, the work
done along this line is bearing some
fruit, and there-is a “silver lining”
beginning to show through the
cloud which temporarily obscures
\the horizon. How can we dispel this
ojCud and place egg production on
/ more satisfactory and profitable
basis in Georgia? By giving more
thought and attention to the follow
ing suggestions offered by Professor
W. C. McCoy, the poultry specialist
of the Georgia State College of Agri
culture.
Eggs, eggs, and then some more
eggs, and it seems that the whole
state of Georgia is covered with
eggs- But not so, good, fresh, se
lected eggs are still not quite as plen
tiful as some people think. Os
course, it is true that the markets
have a large number of eggs on
hand, but when one stops to examine
these eggs, all classes of eggs, dirty,
smaAl, ill-shaped, 'etc., are found.
Most of these eggs are farm eggs,
coming from flocks that have no at
tention, no feeding, no houses, and,
in spite of all this, the hens have
laid, and the nests have been found
containing eggs from one to fifteen
days old. Yes, these are fresh eggs,
freshly found, but not freshly laid.
This type of eggs is the one that
hurts the market and causes many
people to say there is nothing in the
poultry business.
When talking about eggs, there
are two things to remember, if you
expect to make money out of them.
The egg game is a big one, and it is
a business that has rules and princi
ples that must be followed. To dis
regard these rules is as detrimental
to success as lending money with
out charging interest.
Oftentimes, people have approach
ed the writer and said, “Where can
1 find a market for n'iy eggs?” I
asked if he had a few thousand doz
en to sell, and he replied: “No, I
have only about ten dozen.” At once
I thought the problem very simple,
for disposing of ten dozen eggs was
only a. few seconds’ work, but when
he said, “I cannot sell at market
price, I must have GO cents per dozen
for them, or else I cannot make
money out of chickens.” Surely,
eggs are not worth GO cents per doz
en through the year when compared,
to other food products, and anyone
having to receive GO cents per doz
en through the- year in order to
break even or make a small profit
is surely in the wronj» game. No,
I should say he is right, but he has
failed in the essentials of poliltry
keeping, namely, good feeds at a
cheap price, constructive breeding,
»and selection for high egg produc
tion.
When you find that eggs are too
cheap, reflect back and see what
your cost of production was. It
may be that you could not. have
made money if you had received
one dollar per dozen for them be
cause of the high cost of production.
Remember, that the more you cut.
the cost of producing eggs by feed
ing good, cheap feeds by construc
tive, breeding and by proper methods
of culling, the more you will make
on eggs whether they be high or low.
The person who is ever complaining
about the selling price usually does
not worry or complain about the
coat of feeds, nor does he worry
about the average number of eggs
each hen produces. He feels that
he is in the business, and it is up
to the world to give him the price
of his eggs and then a little more
for profit. Remember, that every
time you sell an egg, you are in
direct competition with every pool
try producer in Georgia and every
ntmer state in the union. Someone
ejaft produce them cheaply, and it is
lt iun to you to find out how- it is done
and do it.
If everyone could just take pure
bred chickens and make a handsome
profit of from $1 to $3 per bird per
•year without giving any serious
thought to the cost of production,
then eggs would be so numerous that
they could be bought for several
cents per dozen. Individual efforts,
knowledge of the principles of poul
try raising, high egg production, con
structive feedings, are some of the
things that must be considered be
fore success will come-

.lust because you produce eggs, do
not’ think that you can create or
make a market. No, the market
is established, and it is up to you
to produce so that you can sell on
epeh markets.
A great deal of agitation been
going on In the state atynti storing
eggs until eggs are high again. That
is a very noble idea, but the aver
age Georgia eggs that must go into
storage Is not fit for storage, and,
too, by storing eggs, you are bound
to influence the fresh egg market
in the fall by bringing the stored
eggs out to compete with the fresh
eggs.
Before condemning the industry
and the market, be sure that you
have examined your methods of
handling and your r.iethods of im
proving average production. If you
find that after you have followed
constructive methods of feeding,
breeding and culling, and you do
not make money, then yell at the top
of your voice and maybe it will be
heard.
The greatest enemy to the poultry
raiser is the man who never figures
the cost of production.
Fighting Anthracnose In Water
melons
The watermelon crop is in jeopar
dy. An insidious enemy has made
its appearance in the fields. What
can we do about it? Instant ac
tion is necessary, and an effective
and economical remedy is at. hand.
How should the grower proceed?
What should he use to combat this
fungus? What will the cost of
spraying amount to per acre? When
and how should the work be done?
These are some of the questions be-
J ing propounded.
, Fortunately, Professor George W.
Firor of our extension service has
just come back from a trip through
the watermelon producing section of
Georgia. His familiarity with the
situation makes his advice worthy
of the most careful consideration.
He recommends the following meth
od of procedure:
Anthracnose is caused by a fun
gus known as colletutrichum lage
narium. Vines attacked by this fun
gus may be recognized by the nu
merous irregular black spots which
appear on the leaves. The foliage
tends to shrivel up when heavily in
fected, and after a period of heavy
rainfall when the disease has spread
rapidly, fields are often spoken of
as “burned over,” owing to the fact
that the leaves in large areas have
been crisped and blackened by the
fungus.
Spraying is one step in the meth
od of controlling anthracnose. Spray-*
ing is a preventive, not a cure,
and is effective only to the extent
that the entire surface of the healthy
plant is kept covered with a thin
coating of the spray material. The
following schedule is recommended
and serves as a guide for making
applications:
1. Make first application when
vines begin to run with a 4-4-50 Bor
deaux mixture.
2. Spray the second time with
Bordeaux ten to fourteen days later.
3. Make a. third application with
sam e material one week after main
crop is set.
4. Ten to fourteen days later, a
fourth application should be made.
In dry seasons, two to three ap
plications may be sufficient, while,
in a wet season, it may be necessary
and profitable to spray as many as
six times.
Method in making Bordeaux:
Place 50 gallons of water in a wood
en barrel and dissolve 50 pounds of
bluestone in it by suspending the
material in a gunny sack so that the
bottom is just below the surface of
the water. One gallon contains one
pound of bluestone. Place 50 gal
lons of water in a second barrel.
Use a sufficient quantity of this
water to slake fifty pounds of
| quick lime and add all the freshly
slaked lime to the water remaining
in the 50 gallon barrel, stirring thor.
oughly. One gallon contains one
pound of lime.
When ready to snrav:
1. Pour four gallons of copper sul
phate stock solution into th? 50 gal
lon spray tank and add water to
make 46 gallons.
2. Stir the stock solution of lime;
place four gallons of this in the
46 gallons of diluted copper sulphate
solution. The result will be 50 gal
lons of 4-4-50 Bordeaux mixture.
I The agitator should be kept, run
j ning while mixing the materials.
The stock solutions should he kept
in wooden barrels, and wooden buck
ets should be used for dipping the
copper sulphate and Bordeaux so
lutions. Th? barrels that contain
the stock solutions should be marked
j inside by driving nails to indicate
j the water line. To avoid spray in-
I jury, use excess lime water. Farm
ers’ Bulletin No. 1277, “Diseases of
Watermelons,” should be in the
hands of every interested grower.
Plant Food Needs of Soy Beans
S. S.. The Rock, Ga., writes:
What kind of fertilizer is best
for O-too-tan soy beans tp be
planted in the drill for a hay
crop?
The O-too-tan soy bean belongs to
the family of legumes. Under favor
able conditions, crops of this nature
can gather a good deal of the nitro
gen they need out of the air, and it
is seldom necessary to use nitrogen
in association with this crop. In
any event, the use of from one to
two per cent of this element should
be enough to give the crop a good
start. On the other hand, it is neces-
I sary to supply relatively liberal
rations of acid phosphate and
potash. Leguminous crops use con-
I siderable amounts of these two ele
ments of plant food. As a rule, our
soils do not contain an abundance
of these materials in a readily avail
able form. On that account, we ad
vise the use of two hundred pounds
; of acid phosphate, and one hundred
I pounds of kainit under O-too-tan soy
beans. These materials may be put
j under the drill row at the time the
i crop is planted. On thin, sandy
| soils we would advise you to use
! three hundred pounds of acid phos
phate and one hundred pounds of
manure salts. Another element
which can often be used in associa
tion with this crop to advantage is
calcium. To supply the amount of
i this element needed, it is generally
i best to apply one thousand pounds
! of crushed, raw. lime rock per acre.
‘ This material should be put on a few
i days before the beans are to be
j planted. It should not be mixed
with other fertilizing materials.

Dear Aunt Julia and All: Here I am
again seeking for admittance into your jol
ly circle of boys and girls. I have written
once before and I thank Aunt Julia very
much for publishing my letter. Do you
cousins like to go to school? I do. This is
my first year in high school. I also like
to read. My favorite authors are: Oliv*.
Curwood and Zane Grey. My subject for
this time is “The Golden Rule.’’ It implies
in the first place a total destruction of all
selfishness, for a man who loves himself
better than his neighbors can never do to
others as he would have other do to him.
We are bound not only to do but to feel
toward others as we would have others feel
toward us. Remember it is much easier
to reprove the sin of others than to over
come temptation when it assails ourselves.
A man may be perfectly honest and yet
very selfish, but the command implies some
thing more than mere beauty, it requires
charity as well as integrity. The moaning
of the command is fully explained in the
parable of the Good Samaritan. The Levite
who passed by the wounded man without
offering him assistance may have been a
man of great honesty, but he did not do
unto the poor stranger as he would have
wished others to do unto him. Guess I Jia<l
better bring my letter to a conclusion as it
is getting rather lengthy. But before I go.
I’ll describe myself, for 1 like that idea of
the cousins. I am a blond and have dark
blue eyes. I am wishing to bear from every
state in the union, so all you cousins write
to me. I'll assure every one an answer.
Sincerely,

Dear Friends: I hope I am not intruding
upon Aunt Julia's generosity by returning
so soon after my last visit. Spring is here,

eoat of ice and snow, has fled away and

The air is no longer sharp and pinching,
hut is soft and balmy. In other words, “the
annual miracle of the year’s reawakening
has come to past,’’ and wo welcome it. 1
will not take a subject, but T wish to say
a few words concerning “Daddy." Why
is it that dad is always loft out of praises?
Many songs and ixiems have been written
about? mother; and this is only as it. should
be. No praise is too good for her. but
what about dad? Shouldn’t he be remem
bered, also? Is he nothing but a back
ground or a casli register? Mother is the.
foundation of tire happiness o’ a family
but isn’t dad ,n it at all? We very often
see the phrase, or question, “What is home
without a mother?” Yes, what is it—no
home at nil. Still, no home is perfectly
complete without a kind and loving father,
and the child who does not feel his guiding
influence misses something front its life
Really, friends. I feel that we should praise
our dads along with mother. Lot him know
that he is loved and appreciated, also. IF
will brighten his life and till his heart
with a gladness that it would novel l know
without this praise. Suppose sr.mo of the
other cousins write upon this subject? How
about it? Express yourselves! f
Here are a few rules for '.ettor writing:
“Have you any unkind thoughts?

TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
Testimonial From “A Happy Hus
band and Father,” Who Tells
How to Make Marriage Suc
cessful—How Often Should
a Man Call on the Girl
Me Loves?—The Girl
Who Isn't Allowed
to Have Dates
D3AR MISS DIX—So many peo
ple write to you about unhap
py marriages that I want to
tell you of one marriage that has
been a great success, and of a home
where love, happiness, joy'and chil
dren abound. I married at the age
of twenty-nine a. very intellectual,
cultured, animated and attractive
girl of twenty-four. We had little
money, but by
working togeth
er we have ac
cum ula te d a
modest fortune
and have raised
a fine family of
children. But all
through these
20 years of mar
, ried life I have
seen a, strong,
intelligent, ani
mated and hap
py face across
the table from
me. I have seen
mJ
■ <SF
my wife always cheerful and hap
py, and busy with her family, and
never complaining, which has been
a source of inspiration to me while
at my office and made me feel that
I had something worth while to
work for. So I say, boys and girls,
marry for love and love only.- It is
the one permanent factor in happi
ness.
It is perfectly possible to marry
at the proper age and remain abso
lutely happy during one’s married
life, provided each partner to the
contract is ready and willing to
make sacrifices and do his or her
part.
A HARPY HUSBAND AND FA-
THER. ______
Answer: Thank you, Happy Hus
band and Father, for these words
of cheer. We need them in this col
umn, because we hear so much of
miserable marriages that we need
to be reminded that there is a re
verse side to the medal, and that
there are also successful marriages,
and happy homes, in which hus
bands and wives love each other, in
which there is companionship and
mutual consideration, and where the
dove of peace perches perpetually on
the roof pole.
Certainly the man and woman who
have made a. success of their mar
riage have found the greatest hap
piness on earth. When a husband
and wife are really mated, they
make a little heaven for theipselves.
No love is so satisfying as domestic
love. No comradeship equal to that
of those who have all thoughts and
interests in common, and who know
that nothing but. death can ever
separate them. Wife, husband, chil
dren, home —these make up the
cycle of the ideal life.
So great are the rewards of the
happy marriage that it is tragic to
think how few enjoy them when all
might have them, for there is no
marriage that could not be made a.
success if a man and woman, work
ing together, tried to make it one.
And it seems to me. Happy Hus
band and Father, that you offer
young people the formula for how
to be happy though married: Not to
marry until they are old enough to
know what they want in a husband
or wife and are ready to settle down.
To pick out an intelligent woman
or man of whom they will never tire
for a life companion. To be willing
to work and struggle together. To
have a common aim and object in
life. And. above all, to start out
with an unlimited supply of love.

ness, coated tongue ague, malaria,

caused by a torpid liver as quickly
as a dose of vile, nauseating calomel,
besides it x ill not make you sick or
keep you from a day’s work.
Calomel is poison—it's mercury—
it attacks the bones often causing
rheumatism. Calomel is dangerous.
It sickens—while my Dodson's Liver

Eat anything afterwards, because
it can not salivate. Give it to the
children because it doesn't upset the
stomach or shock th® liver. Take

her? Should he have his own way
all the time or give the girl hers?
P. W. D.
Answer:
I should counsel moderation in
calling on the girl. Go to see her
often enough to keep her interest in
you alive and prevent her from feel
ing neglected, but do not give her
an overdose of your society. No
matter how fond a woman is of a
man, she does not want him per
petually under foot.
And when you go to see a. girl,
don’t stay too late. No human be
ing can be interesting for longer
than two hours at a stretch. Most
of us say everything we have to say
inside of thirty minutes. Whenever
a girl begins to look at the clock, or
smothers, a yawn, or gets up and
walks around the room to keep her
self awake, take the hint and beat
it. You are beginning to bore her,
and boredom is fatal to love.
As to how far a man should trust
the girl he is in love with, 1 should
say all in all or not at all. There
is no half-way house in faith. You
have to believe that a woman is Sin
cere and honorable and discreet or
else that she is unworthy of trust.
I should certainly advise you not
to marry a girl unless you have per
fect faith in her. People who have
to be watched are not worth watch
ing.
It seems to me that neitner a man
nor a woman has a right to have
his or her own way all the time.
Certainly the bossing in a family
should be a. fifty-fifty proposition.
No one individual has a right to ex
pect others to make all of the sacri
fices and do all of the giving-up.
Generally speaking, a woman
should have a right to do as she
pleases about feminine affairs, and
men a right to do as they please
about their own personal matters,
and they should compromise on
things that affect them both. If
you expect to be happy though mar
ried, don’t let yourself be henpecked.
Neither be yourself a domestic ty
rant.
* * •
Dear Miss Dix—My parents are
very fond of me and give me every
thing I want, but there is one. thing
that they oppose very much, and
that is my going out with boys
alone. They let me go to dances,
but I must go with my brother.
Their idea is that a girl should be
twenty-five years old before she
thinks of having any beaux.
Now, I can’t see how I am ever
going to get married if they keep
on like this. How can I even get
acquainted with boys if I am not
permitted to have them come to the
house or have any dates? Mv father
says I must do as he says, but I
think that at twenty-five I will be
too old to attract men. What do
you think? DOTTY A. P.
Answer:
At twenty-five a girl is at her
most attractive age. She is a full
blown rose instead of the bud, and
she is generally more sought after
than when she was younger, but
that is only when she has been in
the running all the time; when she
has played about with men from the
time she was eighteen.
If a girl has never been permitted
to have any masculine attention up
to the time she is twenty-five, she is
not likely to ever have any, and
nothing short of a. miracle will save
her from being'an old maid.
She doesn’t know how to play the
love game. She doesn’t understand
the arts and graces with which wom
en attract men. She is stiff and
self-conscious in masculine society
and men pass her by.
Your parents are doing you a.
cruel wrong in not letting you live
the life of a normal girl of your
day and generation., and they are
certainly blighting your chances of
matrimony by not permitting you to
, have dates as other girls do.
Your father is a merchant. Make
him see that he can keep a. daugh
ter on the shelf too long, just as he
can the goods that he carries in
stock. DOROTHY DIX.
The March of Death
BY J. C. SOLOMON
(Dedicated to Southern Baptist Conven
tion.)
Tramp! tramp! tramp! and millions
are marching on—
Some to an awful doom —some to the
throne.
Tramp! tramp! tramp! human souls
are passing by. *
Passing quickly into eternity.
Tramp! tramp! tramp! a host of the
blood-washed there.
All clothed in white, immaculate and
| fair.
Hear their shouts of joy. O glad re
frain.
Farewell earth, farewell sorrow, fare
well pain.
But what means that army so black
and vast
'Long life's corridors? How long can
it last?
All sick and wounded and staggering
so.
The death-dart has struck and hell
hath her woe.
In dumb eloquence they're crying to
night.
Crying for heaven and crying for
light.
In the name of our God will men not
fly.
And rescue their fellows before they
die?
Silver and gold and chariots so fine:
And God's people declare: “It is all
mine.
And we'll do as we please with what's
our own.
And let the heathen be damned and
begone."
But one soul's worth more than silver
and gold.
And fabulous wealth undreamed and
untold.
Tramp! tramp! tramp! Men are
pressing to their doom.
Men of God. rescue them heaven
still has room.
Give what you have—yourself. Do it
now.
And let the light of heaven rest on
your brow.
For alas! So soon it will be ton late.
For angels will close the beautiful
gate.
Tramp! tramp! tramp! ( hear th®
funeral bell.
Armies alas! are marching on down
to hell.

leg over a heavy timber, hooking
his foot under the steel rail and
swinging over the river 100 feet be

TA MBA. Fla., May 17.—Salvator
FerJita, prominent Italian of this
city, is under $2,000 bond, charged
with being connected with an al- I
lesred “smuggling ring,” which was
held responsible for bringing many
aliens into this country along the
Florida, west coast. Ferlita was giv
en a. preliminary hearing yesterday
before United States Commissioner
Cone. Cffptf.in Antonio Bosch and
three members of the crew of the
schooner Barcelona also were tried
and held under $2,000 bond each,
but. only Ferlita could furnish bond.
Seventy-five aliens, the schooner,
three large automobiles, and Bosch
and his crew were captured off Tar- j
□on Springs recently by immigration !
agents after a number of foreigners '
had been landed. They were brought j
here, given a preliminary hearing '
and held for disposition of the fed- I

Bosch named Ferlita as heading the ;
organization that arranged for the I
shipment which he alleged he I
brought from Cuba. A member of j
the crew is under indictment in con

ed a safety stand, but the other two,
who were some distance behind, were
left in the middle of the trestle until
Hollingsworth's presence of mind

The train stopped after half the

Hollingsworth and Miss Arnold were
