FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW Al. SOULE
Resistant Strains of Cotton Must Be
Used
W. J, M., Zebulon, Ga.,
writes: I have a piece of land
on which cotton dies with the
wilt ors black root after it gets
three or four feet high. I will
appreciate it if you will tell me
what to do to prevent this trou
ble.
'She black root or wilt disease of
cotton is caused by a specific fun
gus which infests the soil and finds
its way into the roots of the cotton
plant. It grows up through the
water ducts and chokes the plant
to death. Nematode worms abraid
the roots of cotton and thereby this
fungus is enabled to gain easy ac
cess to the roots of the plant. You
should, therefore, not plant cotton
after cowpeas and particularly after
those strains of cowpeas that are
most readily attacked by the nema
tode worm. There are certain
strains that are resistant to damage
by tins insect, sucn as the Iron ami
the Brabham. Some of the soy
beans, like the Laredo, are also re
sistant. to |this pest. The Mung
bean on tha other hand appears to
be readily attacked by the nema
tode worm. Under the circum
stances, we would grow cotton on
land which has not been devoted to
the cultivation of peas for several
years. We also suggest that you ob
tain a resistant strain of cotton.
Ame of the Toole varieties are the
for this purpose. We think
Vou can secure good seed within
I the state. We believe if you will
follow the procedure outlined that
your losses from the wilt disease
will be greatly minimized this year.
Merits of Certain Strains of Soy
Beans
M. N. V., LaFayette, Ga.,
writes: Can you give me any
information about the Laredo,
Biloxi and O-too-tan soy beans
as a hay crop? Are. they plant
ed in rows with a planter or can
they be drilled with grain drill?
How much seed will be required
per acre?
We have grown all the varieties
of soy beans mentioned in your let
ter here at Athens for some years
past. The O-too-tan has made the
largest yield of hay, or an average
of 1.6 tons per acre. The Laredo is
a close second, with an average
yield of 1.51 tons of hay per acre.
The Mammoth Yellow made 1.40
tons per acre. We have only grown
the Biloxi for two years. The aver
age yield of hay obtained is two
tons. You will say, therefore, that
it is the best of the lot for hay
production. After it has been grown
for a period of six years, you will
probably find that the yield will
fall below two tons. For grain
production, the Southern Prolific
stands first. The Laredo stands
second in this respect; Mammoth
Yellow, third; Biloxi, fourth; while
the O-too-tan is further down the
list in this respect than a number
of other varieties.
These beans may be inter-planted
with corn or sorghum. Soy beans
do not stand shaded as well as
some other legumes. It is often
good practice to plant between corn
rows that a;e say five to six feet
apart. They may also be planted
in drills three feet apart. The seed
ing may be done with any average
planter. A plate suitable for sow
ing sorghum may be reamed out
just the least bit and used to plant
the smaller seeded varieties of soy
beans. It will take from four to
six pounds per acre of the smaller
seeded strains, such as the O-too-tan
and the Laredo. From ten to six
teen pounds of the larger strains
will be required. We regard the soy
bean as a crop' of great promise,
particularly the newer and finer
seeded varieties. It has the advan
tage of producing a number of fine
stems; of being relatively upright
in its character of growth, and easy
to cut and cure for hay. The quali
ty of the hay is excellent.
Controlling the Wilt Disease of Wa
termelons
C. N. M.. Rydal, Ga.. writes: I
wish to have a remedy for wilt
in watermelon vines. For the
last two years about the. time
my melons go to maturing the
vines commence swivelling up.
and the melons do not mature
properly. Is there anything I '
can do to prevent this?
The wilt disease of watermelons
is produced by a fungus which is
likely carried over in the soil from .
year to year. It is important there- I
fore not to plant watermelons on |
land which has become infested. In '
other words, a rotation of crops is i
one of the best means of combatting :
or controlling this disease. If the i
plant suddenly wilts and turns yel
hfctty at the base, it is an evidence of
presence of this disease. When
phis occurs, all plants affectefl should
be pulled up by the roots and care
fully removed from the field and
burned.
In the cultivation of watermelons,
it Is a. common practice to supply
a. part of the fertilizer needed from
yard mantire. It is desirable that
this practice should be continued be
cause this crop responds to applica
tions of this kind of fertilizing ma
terial. At the same time, yard ma
nure is likely to be infested with
the fungus which causes wilt dis
ease. This is due to the fact that
the waste from the watermelon field

is very likely to be thrown on the
manure <heap, thus resulting in the.
contamination of the whole pile. If
you use yard manure under your
matermelons this year, be certain to
see that it is not contaminated. In
the event it is. you must, or course,
rely entirely on the use of chemical
fertilizers.
It is important tha't you treat
your watermelon seed before it is
planted. To this end, immerse it in
a 1,1,000 solution of mercuric chlor
ide. The treatment should be. con
tinued for five minutes. Then the
exterior of the seed should be washed
off in running water. Jf you treat
the seed too long, you may injure
its germinating quality. Mercuric
chloride is extremely poisonous, and
should, therefore, be handled with
care and discretion.
Grasses Suited to South Georgia
Conditions
C. 8., Manchester, Ga., writes:
I wish to make a new pasture
and would like to know the best
grasses to plant. I have two
acres of good, well-drained bot
tom land and two acres of aver
age grade of hillside land.
Possibly the best pasture crops for
you to plant in your section of Geor
gia would be Ballis or Carpet grass.
Carpet grass likes a rich, fertile soil
and does best'on moist, bottom lands.
It has a creeping stem and forms
a complete sod, but it has no under
ground stems, therefore, it will not
become a pest. This grass will drive
out Bermuda grass on land to which
it is well adapted. From five to ten
pounds of seed are sufficient to en
able one to obtain a good stand in
a single season.' Seeding should be
don© early in the spring. The seed
is scarce and fiard to obtain, and,
therefore, high in price. One inter
ested in this grass can often find
a small area of it and Save the seed.
This grass is not quite as nutri
tious as Bermuda grSss, but it has a
great carrying capacity on land to
which it is well adapted. No grass
which you can .afford to plant will
prove more satisfactory in your sec
tion than Ballis grass. It endures
great extremes of drouth and cold.
It needs a fertile soil, however. Dal
lis grass seed is exceedingly difficult
to obtain because the seed heads are
attacked by a fungus. Close graz
ing obviates this difficulty and where
this is done, a better grade of seed
can be obtained. Ballis grass seed
germinate very slowly. The best
method of establishing it is to plant
in furrows 3 to 7 feet apart. Scatter
the seed in these furrows and leave
them uncovered.
A good mixture of grasses for you
to use on the clay hillsides of south
Gcorgjp. would be Carpet grass four
pounds, Lespedeza ten pounds; on
the moist bottom lands of south
Georgia, Lespedeza ten pounds, Red
Top three pounds, and Carpet grass
three pounds. We think it better to
plant Carpet grass and Dallis grass
on separate acres of land.
Growing Peanuts After Peanuts
Is Inadvisable
J. A. E., Buford, Ga., writes: I
have some land I planted to pea
nuts last year that I would like
to plant to peanuts again, but
I have heard that you can not
raise peanuts on the same land
two years in succession. Is there
anything to this contention?
It is best to rotate the peanut
crop. There is an impression that
because if belongs to the family of
legumes that it does not exhaust the
plant food from the spil, but rather
tends to' build it up. The peanut,
under conditions, can assimilate at
mospheric nitrogen, and so the land
on which it grows may show an in
crease in the content of this element.
On the other hand, if the peanut
vines are cut and cured as hay and
the nuts harvested and removed from
the land, it is a crop which tends to
depreciate the fertility of th e soil
unless it is grown in a. rotation and
liberal amounts of fertilizer applied.
We are of the opiniop of course
that you can grow two crops of pea
nuts on the same land in succession
provided you take proper steps to
that. end. First of all, we would
suggest that you apply a minimum
of 111,000 pounds of crushed raw
limestone rock per acre. We would
prefer to see you use a ton. The
finely ground material is the most
desirable. You can obtain crushed,
raw lime rock rather cheaply from
Gainesville. We would then advise
you to use the following fertilizer
formula: Three hundred pounds of
acid phosphate, 100 pounds of cot
tonseed meal, and 100 pounds of ma
nure salts. Mix these ingredients to
gether and put down under th e drill
row at the time the peanuts are
planted. You may use some other
carrier of nitrogen and potash, if
you prefer. The idea is to supply
the relative amounts of available
plant food these ingredients would
contain.

Fussy Parrots Found
MIAMI. Fla., June 16.—Two par
i rots, seated on perches and glaring
1 at each other, alone in a house, were
responsible for a “murder” call re
ceived at the Miami police station
i today. A new family that had
i moved into the neighborhood and
did not know of the presence of the
parrots, on hearing them swearing
at each other and threatening to
kill, sent in an alarm.
From the owner of the birds, the
police learned that they had picked
up a few swear words which they
occasionally exercised on each
I other.

Try, try, again.”
Cousins, isn't today a beautiful day. The
little birds are chirping and singing every
where. It makes me feel good to hear
thejn. Yesterday evening as 1 came home
from the cowbarn from milking, a mother
bird had her young trying to learn it to fly.
it did look so pitiful to. me. Cousins, have
any of you a dairy? We have and we sep
arate the milk and sell the cream. We sure
have a job at. home, since the separator came
in. I’m not. saying I’m lazy (which I expect
I am), but. I sure don’t like the work of run
ning a dairy. We haven’t a very large one,
only eight cows, but. are expecting more any
day. If you want to know a lots about,
dairying just come in home some time and
I’ll certainly show yon everything and when
you get through looking at the tilings J won't
ask you out either, for'that’s why I’m trying
to get you down here for to help me. Come
on, Georgia cousins, let’s not let the other
states get ahead of us. Aunt Julia, I think
you printed your picture in The Journal once
before. Did you not? But I have almost
forgotten how you look and the rest, too,
1 expect. I (and the rest, too), would be
glad to see it again, cousins, don’t you
think it’s nice of auntte to adopt a little
orphan? I surely do. Auntie, please print
this letter. I know it’s not much, but next
time I come I will take a subject, that is if
this letter is printed. We have been taking
The Journal’-ever since I can remember and
I’m noy sixteen, my birthday was the 7th of
May. Who is my twin? Jf I have one
please write me. Come on, cousins, to see
me. I don't get lonesome, but. I would en
joy some of you just the same. We are
looking for company tomorrow (Sunday).
One reason I don't get lonesome is because
I have lots of brothers and sisters. There
are eight children in the family, four boys
and four girls. My eroest brother is mar
ried and has two kids, a boy and a girl,
and my eldest sister is married, too, but
she hasn't any children. My next eldest
brother is single, he is twenty; he’ll be
twenty-one August. .19. He works in Colurn

sociation; he is assistant, secretary. In The
Journal the other day I read a letter written
by Remus Palmer, of Morton, Miss., he was
asking if he had a twin, he and my brother
I was just speaking about are twins. Ob,

Hello, Aunt Julia and Cousins: I just
wonder how you and the cousins are enjoy
ing life this beautiful weather. I presume
you Dixie cousins are enjoying the sport of
swimming by now', are you not? Aunt Julia.
I thank you very much for printing my other
letter. I would like to exchange koefek
views with some of you cousins, especially
those living in Florida. Just a word for
mother. You who still have the blessing of
mothers, honor, love and obey them while
they are yet living and when they are gone
you can feel you have performed your duty
toward her. Only those who have experi
enced the loss of mother ean fully realize
and appreciate the true love and devotion
of mother. I think the following rery fit
ting words for mother:
“Ah, mother, when I think of you,
A languid love begins to flow,
Sweet memories of long ago;
V bile thinking of your kindness true,
My somber skies turn brighter hue,
Your love I know,
Dear mother mine.”
I will answer all letters containing photos.

have one st Sermon Hill next Sunday, you
cousins come over and I'll assure you plenty
of dinner and good singing and I’ll take
you out for a spin in our new Ford. I'm
just learning to drive. I'll just say I'm a
brunette and haven’t my hair bobbed. Will
leave my age for you to guess, between sev
enteen and twenty-four. To the one that
guesses correctly I'll send a photo of my
self. All you cousins send me a letter show

It seems like I am talking with the cousins
and Aunt Julia to read it. I live on a farm
of forty acres, south of Oakboro. Some of
the city cousins talk like they would not
like to live on a farm, but when vacation
time comes, to the country they come I
have lived in the city and I like the coun
try best. Cousins, why don't you start the
subject. “What. I Am Going to Do When I
Finish College” and discuss it. as von have
the other subjects? As for mvself'. I want
to be a nurse. It is (I think l nice work
helping people to get well when they are
sick. And another thing I want to do is
to be an author. 1 have already written
three stories (not very long) and have been
thinking of writing one and sending it to
be published. Cousins, what do you all do
during vacation to earn pin money? I do
not know what to do and I want to earn
some. I am of the brunet type, and am
eleven years old, and in the seventh grade
My teacher was Miss Hattie Burleson till
Christmas, and then she stopped. Mrs. Q.

subject? 1 think it a good idea. I’ll take
my ideal wife” for my subject: She must
have a good character, dark hair, brown
eyes and fair complexion, weigh between
1-0 and 130 pounds, be kind and loving at
all Qmes. Now I’ll give you an idea of
how I look and go. I have dark hair, blue
eyes, medium complexion, will leave my age
for you to guess. It is between eighteen

Marriage Without Love Is Worse
Than Remaining Single Always,
Especially in These Modern
Days of Independence
YOUNG woman writes me!
“I am thirty years old. I
have an opportunity to marry
a pood man, whom 1 respect, but
do not love. Shall 1 take him or
drift into being a sour old maid?”
Do neither,
daughter. Mar
riage generally
lasts for a long,
long time, and
It seems longer
if you are lied

you do not care.

petrate upon the man—for no man
wants a wife who has married him
for a meal ticket or to save herself
from the Spinsters’ Retreat
consider how little you have to gain
and how much to lose by getting a
makeshift husband.
Consider how fed up you will get
with the perpetual society of a man
who does not interest you! Think,
how the little peculiarities of a man
you do not care for will get upon
your nerves when you have to ob
serve them day in and day out! Real
ize how bitter would be the sacri
fice if you did not love him! How
hard the road of duty is to tread
when no flowers of romance or ten
derness or affection bloom along it;
Believe me, daughter, the only
woman who finds that marriage pays
for all it costs her is the one who
is so rnadly in love that she sees
a Fairy Prince in some ordinary,
commonplace chap; who would rath
er marry him and do her own cook
ing and washing than be a, billion
aire’s bride and live in a palace, and
who asks nothing of fate but just
the privilege of serving him and be
ing near him.
So that's that.
As for the sour old maid stuff,
where did you get that? The idea
that every woman who doesn’t get
married is bound to degenerate into
a soup old maid, with a. prying nose
and a perpetual motion tongue, is
as extinct as the dodo. If there ever
were such creatures, they have been
evoluted out of existence, and you
will find no women more tolerant,
more genial, more lovable, than the
women who. for one reason or an
other, have not elected to take unto
themselves husbands.
Possibly in the old days when a
woman had to marry in order to se
cure herself support and a place in
society and any degree of personal
freedom, it may have been trying
on a lady’s temper and nerves not to
be able to land a husband. It was
a confession of failure that adver-
held on the beach of the Atlantic ocean. Be
tween these two cities a stretch of sand 30
miles long, varying in width from 300 to

tised to the world that, she was lack
ing in feminine charms and finesse.
Also it relegated her to the outer
darkness, socially speaking, and
forced her to eat the bitter bread of
dependence.
There is, however, a. vast differ
ence between poor Miss Jennie, of
the ’6os and even the ’7os, hanging
on to a. family that regarded her
as an incubus, and that looked upon
her a<? a failure because she didn’t
marry, and Miss Jean of 1924, with
her prosperous business or profes
sion; her good clothgs, her nice
apartment, her freedom, her latch
key, her million interests in a mil
lion interesting things.
There was some excuse for the
njilk of human kindness curdling in
Miss Jennie’s veins, but there’s no
reason at all why Miss Jean's dis
position should go sour. And, as a
matter of fact, it doesn't. She's
all sweet cream.
But don’t delude yourself, daugh
ter, with the belief that marriage is
any sort of a patent, soul-saving
device, and that it will SutomaticallY
turn you into a kindly, cheerful,
optimistic, amiable woman. When
it comes to making character, we roll
our own, and what we are depends
entirely upon how we react to the
hardships of life.
The married woman, no less than
the single woman, has her blighting
disappointments. She sees her
dreams torn to pieces, her ambitions
blighted and thwarted, her hopes
die. She must work and struggle
and endure. S'he must make sacri
fices. She must face loneliness and
despair. She must suffer loss, and
she can let these experiences ’ turn
her nature into gall, or she can rise
above them and achieve a sweetness
that is almost an invisible halo about
her head.
All married woman are not angels,
any more than all unmarried women
are devils. There are just as many
disgruntled wives as there are sour
old maids. There are plenty of wives
who have let their husbands’ un
faithfulness embitter them against
the whole world. Plenty of wives
who whine because their husbands
are not money-makers. Plenty of
married women who are filled with
malice and all uncharitableness to
ward every woman who is better off
than they are.
None of us can escape sorrow and
suffering and disappointments. We
can meet them with courage and
philosophy and keep ourselves sweet,
or we can rage against life and
grow sour nursing our little grudge
against fate.
For we are all like grapes crushed
in the wine press of life. After that
we go through the fermenting proc
ess of experience and some, come
out of it sweet and strong wine., and
some vinegar.
But marriage has nothing to do
j with it. The sour old maid would

MEHMITES
STRIVING TO HOLD
UFOLLETTE IN LINE
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(.Special Leased Wire to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1924.)
ST. PAUL, Minn., June 17| —Sen-
ator Robert M. La Follette, of Wis
consin, will be given another oppor
tunity to run tor the presidency on
the farrner-labor-progressive ticket.
His repudiation of tne communists
who are assembled here for confer
ence has led to bitter feeling, but
the extreme radicals in the farm
labor movement ate willing to abide
by the strategy ot their more con
servative comrades and present the
platform of this convention to the
Wisconsin senator for his indorse
ment. If he accepts, he must agree
to run on tne platform adopted here.
, The platform will not be commu
nistic, according to C. E. Ruthen
berg, secretary of the workers’ par
ty of America, and an avowed com
munist. He recognizes that his
group is in the minority here and
simply'says that if La Follette is to
receive the nomination of the dele
gates here be must agree- to take
the platform.
Hope For Third Party
“We are not interested in individ
uals,” said Mr. Ruthenberg, “but in
principles and parties. Out of this
conference, we hope will grow a
third party. It Senator La Follette
doesn’t accept, we shall probably
nominate Duncan. MacDonald, of Il
linois, former head of the United
Mine Workers of that state, and
William Bouck, of the state of Wash
ington, for president and vice presi
dent respectively. We expect to put
a ticket in the field in at least forty
states in the coming election. We
have already b?en organized and
have consideredable strength in Min
nesota, North and South Dakota,
Montana, Nebraska and Washing
ton, and this year we have organi
zations in Massachusetts, New York,
Connecticut, Indiana, Illinois, Mis
souri, California, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, New Jersey, Kansas, Oklaho
ma and Colorado.”
The platform to be adopted will be
along the lines of the farmer-labor
program, part of which demands so
cial legislation for the farmer and
the worker. To understand the situ
ation here, it is necessary to appre
ciate that in the Minnesota prima
ries, this week, the communists who
are really the left wing or radicals,
of the farmer-labor party, have en
tered a complete ticket and even a
man to oppose Senator Magnus John
son, who, I t the eyes of the commu
nists, is a conservative. The com
munists realize they are in the mi
nority and, of course, if the*r ticket
loses, they will support Magnus
Johnson and other candidates who
will win the farmer-labor party nomi
nation.
Factions Developed
It so happens that the farmer-labor
party is the dominant political body
in this as the Democratic party
has been virtually obliterated, while
large numbers of the Republicans
have joined the farmer-labor part. .
Under such circumstances, it is in
evitable that the farmer-labor party
should in turn develop a radical and
conservative faction.
Mr. Ruthenberg explains that while
the ultimate aim of the communists
which he represents is the ‘‘dictation
of the government by the proletariat
and the intr Juetion of the soviet
system,’’ such a goal is not readily
reached and it is wiser to follow the
methc . of political action through
the regular constitutional processes
until such time, of course, as the
coi munists gain sufficient strength
to overcome constitutional barriers.
The writer asked Mr Ruthenberg
how he defined the essential differ
ence between Senator La Follette
and the communists.
“Well,” he said, “to our way of
thinking. Senator La Follette is not
even a. radical. H>-. believes in the
•capitalistic system, but we believe in
the soviet system. He has always
been a Re blican. He did not even
bolt the Republican party in 1912.”
Cleveland Convention
This convention holds itself more
or less aloof from the conference for
progressive political action which is
to take place in Cleveland on July 4
and which is expected to indorse Sen
ator La Follette. Some of the lead
ers here are doubtful whether the
Cleveland conference will make any
progress. They have the idea that
William Gibbs McAdoo through his
friendship with the heads of the rail
way brotherhoods will have consid
erable following in that convention
and that if by chance he has been
nominated by the Democrats in New
York there will be a. determined ef
fort. made by his friends to # secure
an indorsement for him at Cleveland
in which case Senator I*a Follette
might not wish to run, for he is rep
resented here as believing he ought
not make the race unless he has the
united support of all the elements at
the Cleveland conference.
Asked for his comments on the
Republican ticket, Mr. Ruthenberg
said:
“Most of us feel that with a strike
breaker at the head of the ticket
(referring to Mr. Coolidge's part in
the Boston police strike) and a fas
cist! for vice president, the Republic
ans have done exactly what might
have been expected of them and made
it all the more necessary that labor
should be thoroughly organized.”

MEXICO WARNED
BT GHEJT BBITLIN
INCUWISE
LfZSmtC, . qne 16.—(8y the Asso
ciated Press.)— '"rime Minister Mac-
Donald stated in the house of com
mons today that the British govern
ment regarded the action of the
Mexican government against Her
bert C. Cummins, the British agent
in Mexico, as a grave breach of in
ternation.al courtesies.
The premier said he had informed
the Mexican government that in the
event of'its taking steps against Mr.
Cummins in which Great Britain did
not concur, the mission of Sir Thom
as Hohler to Mexico would be can
celled.
Mexico City dispatches Saturday
announced that the Mexican govern
ment had decided to expel Mr. Cum
mins from the country, the action
being explained in a foreign office
statement accusing the British repre
sentative of lack of respect and cour
tesy and even with having made wil
fully incorrect statements to his gov
ernment in reporting local incidents.
The statement showed dissatisfaction,
with Mr. Cummins’ acts on the part
of Mexico had existed for some time,
and that the government has sought,
to have him recalled but without
success.
G—B ’s reply to Mexico’s
protest was said to have stated that
Sir Thomas Hohler, recently named
by Great Britain to go to Mexico
look over the situation with a view,
to " c possible resumption of regular
diplomatic relations, soon would,
reach Mexican territory and that Mr.
Cummins would leave then. Mexico* 1
however, asked that the British gov
ernment disavow statements mad®
by Cummins, but, according to Mex
ican high office officials, Great Brit
ain declined to do so, and the Mex-[
ican government considered this an
affront to its dignity.
