SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
For June 29, 1924—Review: Rehoboam to Nehemiah
Golden Text: “Righteousness ex
»lteth a nation, hut sin is a reproach
o any people.” Prov. 14:34.
A rapid sweep of history is like
a mountain top view—you can see
all the windings of the road along
which you have been traveling and
its relation to the surrounding coun
try. We have been studying people
and events in the history of the
•Jewish nation during the period
from the disruption of the Kingdom
under Rehoboam down to the return
from the captivity under Nehemiah.
The pumose of this survey today
will be to discover God and His part
in the events of that period? What
was His purpose? What was He
trying to do? Did He succeed? If
He failed, what was the reason?
What effect would that have had
on the ultimate success of His plan?
To discover this we must take a
.glance backward, behind the period
of history. In fact, we ■ must go
back to the Garden of Eden, and
there we find that God placed a per
fect man, made in His own image
and after His likeness—not a crea
ture just emerged from animal
existence and in an incomplete de
velopment—God placed a perfect
man in charge of all His creatures
to have dominion over them. He 5
bad a reason for this; another crea- !
tion of God’s had usurped the an- j
thority given him and had wrought ;
disaster, and God was preparing tn !
back his lost dominion, and '
a man for the job.
Rut this man, exercising the right
of choice which his creation in the
likeness of God necessitated as his,
yielded to the subtle suggestions of
this other creature of God's, and
placed himself under Satan’s power.
God then began a series of efforts
to get man away from the power
of Satan and to get back the do
minion which Satan had usurped.
In the outworking of this plan, God j
(chose a people to whom and 1
through whom He might reveal I
Himself—His love. His mercy. His
righteousness and His grace. He
gave them a land and promised
f hem a. King, not that He loved
them more than any other people
(since He is no respecter of per
sons) but in order that He might
eventually give through them to the
world another Perfect Man who
would do all His will, and who
would not yield to the power of
Satan but. break it, and set all his
captives free.
As time went on God became more '
explicit in the outworking of His ;
plan—Abraham whs chosen; of his
sons it was Isaac through whom
the world should be blessed; of
Isaac’s two sons it was Jacob: of
-Jacob's twelve sons it was Judah;
of Judah's descendents it was Da
vid. With David He made a cov
enant and confirmed it with an oath
that his Son should reign forever.
And one. of the remarkable things
about this covenant was that it was
made in perpetuity—it could never
be broken (2' Sam. 7:14-16). If Da
vid's sons sinned, God would child
train them, but not cast them off.
“And thine house and thine king
dom shall be established forever be
fore thee; thy throne shall be es
tablished forever.’’
Well, Solomon sinned. His son,
Rehoboam, paid the price of it. The
kingdom was disrupted and part of
it given to a man of the house of
■Joseph. This northern kingdom was
a record of continued rebellion
against God. Os every one of its
kings without exception it was said,
“he sinned against Jehovah.” They
walked in the statutes of the hea
then; they did secretly those things
which were not right against the
UOrd thy God; they did as the
heathen did whom Jehovah had car
ried away before them; they would
not hear, but hardened their necks;
they sold themselves to do evil.
The history of the southern king
dom was some better, but in gen
eral it was the same as that of her
northern neighbor. There were nine
dynasties in the northern kingdom,
but. only one in the southern—Da
vid’s son was constantly on the
throne. Some of these were so in
fluenced by his life’s example, that
they walked in the ways of David,
t heir fat her. Some of them were
men devoted to God. other's followed
Him, but not. wholly; while some
turned from Him as badly or worse
than some of the kings of Israel.
The nation lasted 136 years longer
-han that, of the northern kingdom,
and then Nebuchadnezzar- took their
king to Babylon ancr destroyed their
city and temple.
During all of this time God was 1
at work. He was making every pos
sible effort, to keep them from sin
ning. He testified against them by
al! the prophets and seers, plead
ging with them to turn from their
I evil ways taLl keep His law which
• would the greatest hap
piness. Elijah was the first of these
prophets; Jonah the first of those
who have left us a record of the
pleadings and warnings. Even a
cursory glance at the warnings of
Elijah, the miracles of Elisha, the
graciousness of God as He dealt
with Jonah, the pleadings of Isaiah,
the startling visions of what might
he expected by Ezekiel the plain de
nunciation of sin made through

WOMAN AILING
FOR A YEAR
' - -
Took Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound —
Happy Results
Newcastle, Pa. —“I was all run
down and everybody thought I was
going into a de
cline. 1 had been
ailing for a year
with pains in my
right side so that’l
could hardly stand
on my feet. When
I walked I felt as
if something was
falling. I was not
I able to do any
I work and had a
I nurse most of the
Utime. She spoke
to me about Lydia E. Pinkham ’s Veg
etable Compound, so I gave it a fair
trial. 'Some women think one bottle
should cure them, but I did not stop
at that. 1 took more and got better
and am able ever since to do my own
housework. There was a time, when
I would complain of not feeling well,
that my husband would say, *Go to the
doctor?’ But now he will tell me to
get a bottle of Lydia E, Pinkham’s,
and it has always helped me. I have
had druggists tell me that they had
something better, but they don’t tell
me that now, for I take no other. I
have been taking the Vegetable Com
pound now for five years. Any wo
man who cares to call or write. 1 will
be glad to tell her how it helped
me. —Mrs. Mabel List Shf.rbahn,

THE ATLANTA TRI-WE
ences of Hosea, the burning words
of Micah and Nahum. Obadiah,
Zephaniah and Habakkuk, and fi
nally the tears of Jeremiah—even a
cursory glance at these will impress
one with the fact that God did every
thing that He could to keep this
people from sinning. When they
hardened their hearts and stiffened
their necks, there was but one thing
that He could do —and still be true
to the oath that He had made with
David—remove them out of His
sight until their bitter experiences
should bring to them their senses
and make them cry to Him in re
pentance.
When He It. them be taken into
captivity He did not forsake them.
Before they left He spoke through
Jeremiah, telling then, just how long
He would let them remain. During
that captivity Daniel and Ezekiel
still spoke for Him. He never left
them, but watched over them and
pleaded with them still. And when
God’s clock struck twelve, an heath
en king 'whom He had named be
fore his birth made it possible for
God's order to be executed, while
loyal subjects led by the prince of
the house of David came back to
the' land of their fathers and re
built the temple and the city.
All of this was in preparation for
the consummation of God’s plan —
to send a man who would perfectly
obey Him, who would make a choice,
and that choice Io do the will ot
God perfectly: who by doing thus
the will of God would have domin
ion and rule over God’s creation,
breaking down the power of him who
had usurped God’s domain, and til
timately destroying that power en
tirely.
We have not, during these three
months, been studying further into
the plan. During the next nine
months we shall be looking into the
life of God’s Man, the God-Man.
We know' that the same sin of re
bellion against God that brought
about the captivity and failure of
the Jewish nation was manifested
against God’s Mari when He. came,
and that He is now rejected. But
we are also confident, that, the God
who would not be blocked by re
bellion at first will not be blocked
by rebellion now, and that event
ually when God’s clock strikes
twelve again, the real Prince of the
House of Judah shall come to sit
on the throne of His father David,
and reign forever, for God’s oath
cannot be broken, ft may be de
layed, but not ultimately broken.
In the meanwhile we know that
we have One who has broken the
power of Satan and will break it
for you if you trust Him now.
Colquitt County Makes
Large Melon Shipments
During Past Week
MOULTRIE, Ga., June 21. —From
twenty to twenty-five cars of wa
termelons have been shipped from
Colquitt county this week, it was
estimated by local buyers. Prices
paid «re said to have, ranged from
$450 a. car to $650. These returns
are considered by growers as high
ly satisfactory.
Shipments from south Georgia
next week will total at least 200
cars, unless very unfavorable weath
er should develop. There is no rea
son to believe that there will be
any slump in prices before July 2,
distributors here state. It has been
very hot for several days in the big
consuming centers and the demand
for melons is said to be strong.
Next week will probably be the best
week of the season, melon men here
think. It is pointed out that fruit
loaded as late as Friday or Satur
day will have ample time to reach
eastern and northern points for the
Fourth of July trade.
The quality of the melons being
shipped this season is better than it
has been in several years, Moultrie
distributors state. Some sections of
the belt, however, are said to be
needing rain and unless showers
fall within the next few days dam
age to immature fruit will result.
On the whole, however, the melon
growers seem to be facing the best
season they have experienced in sev
eral years.

Dear Children —I know these sweet
summer days you do not really feel
much like housework, but does it
ever occur to you that Mother or
Big Sister, or Grandmother-does not
feel a. bit more, like it than you do?
If all hands do their share in the
work there, is not too much on any
one person, and I want to feel that
“my young people” are just the
most thoughtful, unselfish young
people in the world.
Lovingly,
AI'NT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia amt Cousins: As the
shade of darkness gently gathers over me,
not a sound to be beard except the call of
a whippoorwill coming from a distant
stretch of woodland, my mind turns to a
happy bunch of boys and girls. J. wonder if
they will welcome me for a short while. I
thought, there might be a vacant sent in
tlie cozy corner for a North Carolina boy.
I have been a' reader of The Journal for
some lime, and always enjoy reading the
interest tetters that appear in the better
Box. As this is my first letter, I will not
take a subject, but leave my space for a
more gifted writer. As most of you cous
ins’ schools have closed for this season, you
are, no doubt, looking forward to your va
cation. J have taken a course in bookkeep
ing, but haven’t started to work yet. My
favorite sports are hunting, fishing, swim
ming, boat riding ami gathering wild flow
ers. Why not all good cousins come and
go kodaking with me? We have some beau
tiful scenery in old North Carolina. I would
appreciate Letters and photos from all you
handsome high school girls and teachers
who care to write. To the first guessing my
age, I will send a photo of myself. It is
between 1.8 and 22 years. As it is most
time I was in dreamland, 1 will bid you
adieu. A new cousin.

Auntie Pear: Will you allow a girl from
the state of Mississippi to join your happy
nand of cousins tills sforniy-looking after
noon? I surely do enjoy The Journal, al
though we’ve only been taking it a fe-w
weeks. There are some extra good letters
on the page each time. What do you cousins
(Io for pastime these rainy days? I help
mother in the bouse and read a good deal.
I surely do enjoy reading good books. One
can derive so much pleasure and benefit,
too. H's my delight to get under a big
shade tree on a hot. summer day. With one
of Mrs. Georgia Sheldon’s books. I believe
tlie “Ideal Husband or Wife” is. the lead
ing subject being discussed now.' if I’m
welcome I'll come again some time and tell
my ideas on tlie subject. I see almost
every one enjoys going to school and gel
ling an education. I, for one. believe every
one should strive for an education. I'm
planning to attend a summer Normal at
Tupelo, Miss., this summer. I surely do
cnjo.v going to school. Mr. James Henry
Davis, I guess your age to be 23. Am I
right? My age is between 19 and 24.
Auntie, please print this for me and maybe
I'll not bother yon again for a long time.

Dearest Aunt Julia: 1 hope you will let
me join your I.otter Box club and have
this letter published in your next paper so
I may hear from some unknown cousins
real soon. I will first introduce myself with
a description. I am between sixteen and
twenty years, with fair complexion, dark
blue eyes, shaded with black eyelashes. I
hardly know how to describe the color of
my liair. Mother says it looks like gold
when the sun shines on it. but it is a little
darker in the shade. 1 like to read tlie
cousins' descriptions of themselves and imag
ine how they look. You might cull me a
half city and half country girl, for I spend
the summer in the country and the winter
in the city. I like both very much. We
have been here at our country home for
about a week now. Our home is on the
lop of a very high hill, so we can see far
away for miles around us. 1 like beautiful
/scenery, and we have It here. I agree
with tlie cousins on hiking, out-door, sports,
especially horseback riding and fishing. And
I like flowers and music' so very much. I
teach piano music in tlie summer. You see.
we have many country homes around us witli
children to take from rue. But I take
music myself in tlie winter. 1 am trying
to graduate in two more winters. I'll ciose.
Aunt Julia, but please publish this real
soon so the cousins may know I exist and
write. Love to all. from

Dearest Auntie and Cousins: , Will you
admit a South Carolina girl into your happy
band of girls and boys? I have been read
ing the Letter Box for some time, and like
it fine. I have written once before, but mv
letter was not printed, so I thought I
would write again. I will be eleven years
Old the first day of June. How many of
you cousins like music? I do. We have a
piano. I have been taking music, but am
not taking lessons now. J was in tlie Sec
ond grade in music. I have one sister
nine years old. Site and I are about tlie
same size and dress alike. I am glad to
say my mother and father are both living,
but my mother is sick. They have been
adding to our bouse, and when finished will
be a two-story, eight-room house, and sis
ter and I are going to llavo one room for a
play house. We have lots of dolls and doll
furniture, too. I made my doll a dress and
helped sister make one. I am in tlie sixth
grade. Our school has closed. We have a
nice four-room schoolhouse and a big audi
torium. Our school is one-half mile from
home. I live on top of a big hill, about a
quarter of a mile from the Dixie highway,
in an oak grove. We have lots of peach
trees, but they have not much fruit on them.
We also have a few apple trees. They have
lots of fruit on them. Like many of you
cousins. I live on a farm. We are trying to
raise White Leghofti chickens. Write me a

Dear Folks—lt is hard to realize
that on the 21st ot June our days
began to grow shorte. - . They seem
to grow longer so slowly and shorter
so quickly that it makes us hurry
during the winter to get things done.
My point is that it is a good thing to
do bits of fancy work during- our
long summer days and put. them
aside for Christmas Giving. You re
member how we rushed last Christ
mas getting things done.
Cordial I v,
AUNT JULIA;
M. L. T.—ls “my girl” seemed
offended and I didn't honestly know
a, reason why she should be, I’d go
right to her and ask flatly what
was the matter. Don’t let a friend
ship wither through misunderstand
ing'.
June: If you have a fine white
voile that you have hemstitched by
hand and will get a thin white hat
(I say thin because they are so much
prettier), and will have your hat
trimmed with dressmaker's tulle you
will have a. lovely white costume and
the dressmaker tulle will not stick
together and wilt in damp weather.
Os course you will want white slip
pers and stockings. A bride dressed
like that at an afternoon wedding
will be in absolute taste.
“Mrs. Elder”: I can sympathize
with your position fully. Os course
you do not want to "seem to run”
church affairs. You certainly can
not afford to be indifferent. You
will have more responsibilities than
before, but I suggest that you act
as any other woman who is deeply
interest in church, do your very best
to help in everything, but do not
make too many suggestions.
Mrs. T.: Thank you so much for
your letter. I felt sure that many,
many of my readers in small com
munities would feel the same inter
est as I do in their church beauti
fying. A man from another state,
who belonged to a Baptist church in
a. very scattered community, told mt
that his wife had been instrumental
in planting shrubs and roses near
their church building. He said that
they built a trellis over the front
and side doors, on these they plant
ed two hardy climbing roses, the
Dorothy Perkins, and one other, so
when the Perkins stopped blooming
the other rose commenced. He said
that they found it very little trou
ble to keep these roses trimmed,
and that at the sides of the church
they planted privet hedge plants
and that the result was very satis
fying.
Nell: Name your daughter Elea,
nor and see that she is called by
her full name. In this way your
husband’s wish that your little girl
be named so rboth you and his
mother will be gratified and you'll
be. spared the “big and little Nell,”
that you do not like. ‘
fine mountain scenery. I am not going to
describe myself, but will leave that to you
but please be reasonable. My age is be
tween eighteen and twenty-one. All yon
cousins write me, both boys and girls. I
will assure you an answer, so let your let
ters come on. and I will he running along
before Aunt Julia grows impatient with me.

Dear Auntie:& My! there are so many
calls for my photo 1 am Inclosing you one
for the paper. It's a snapshot, though not
as good as some 1 have had made, hut it's
the best in the last lot of this week's outs,
if it's too small, if you will return it I'll
send a larger one, or send you the amount
for having it enlarged up there. Can't sav
just now when I'll be able to outline the.
two reel plays I spoke of in one of the
April issues of tlie Council. First one and
then another appear to lead each week.
Everything here is dry and all crops are
short. Can't remember the time when tlie
weather was quietest in all the states for
thirty days. May I figure back? Refer
ence is some different than others and must
have been in 1880, with more than four
months, while valley and plain regions have
always been somewhat the center of fnrious
gales. Will also try and remember your
shells from the longest sand beach in the
world in Florida. Don’t know as it's neces
sary for my description, though I had better
give it; Fair complexion, without freckles;
5 feet 10>,a inches high, weight 140 pounds,

in tlie air to a one hundred thousand-dollar
necklace, though I'm a farmer. With much

Dear Aunt .Tulia: I have often thought
after reading the letters that 1 would Like
io write, but could never think ot anything
interesting; and felt that the space taken by
my letter would be a loss. I shall describe
my home, as 1 can think of nothing else.
It is situated on a hill in a beautiful grove.
At the foot of the hill there is a small
bridge from which you drive up the hill to
rhe house. On the west side there is a
small stream and the grove goes into woods.
The place is surrounded by water, one creek
ami the rest smaller streams. In the woods
you may find every kind of wild flower.
There are several small roads through these
woods that wind along the hanks of the
stream, and on ihese roads is where I ride
horseback. I have to ride alone, though, as
I am the only child, and there are not any
young people in this community. My birth
day is August IB: age 17. if any of the
cousins care to write I will be glad to hear
from them.

TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

( ;ive Woman Instinct—Why Is a
Man Suspected of Wrong When
He Is Just Polite so His Stenog
rapher? Shall a Sixleen-4ear-
Old Girl Marry a Boy She
Isn’t Sure Os?
DEAR MISS DlN—At* the ro
mantic age of twenty-one I
was engaged to marry the only
woman I have ever loved, or ever will
love, but two months before the date
of our wedding she eloped with a pro
fessional pugilist. He treats her bru
tally, but she persists in loving him,
although his only assets are bis pow
erful broad shoulders, his terrific
strength, and almost gorilla-like fea
tu res.
Why is it that '
women are more ■
attracted by phy- ■
sical strength .
'han a nythlng ■
else? Why are ;
they crazy over ;
athletes, boxers
and wrestlers in
particular? Why
is it that pretty

-A-mw■: gent men. to ;
whom nature has given almost every- ■
thing that is desirable except a
strong physique?
FORTY-TWO YEARS YOUNG.
Answer:
Probably a reversion to type, broth
er. We don’t seem to have gotten
very far away from our eave ances
tors when a man went out and wooed
his mate with a club, and dragged
her back into his dugout by her ■
lovely red hair. Most women still |
have a secret hankering for that :
type of courtship, and probably even j
the most advanced of her sex pre-1
fers a husband of whom she is a, !
little afraid to once who is not only >
too much a gentleman to strike her,
but even to assert his authority as
head of the house.
I get hundreds of letters from wom
en who write that their husbands
beat them, but that they love them
still, so evidently feminine admiration
for brute strength js great enough |
to survive personal suffering. And
there is the classic story of the wom
an of the tenements who weepingly
declared that she believed that her
husband had chased to love her be
cause he had not given her a black
eye for a month.
But the glorification of physical
strength is not confined to women.
Men also put brawn above brains, or
taleht. or anything else, as is wit
nessed by the fact that men will
travel hundreds of miles to witness
two brutes pound eac-h other into a
pulp and pay exorbitant prices for
the joy of beholding this gory spec
tacle. The greatest writer, the great
est statesman, the greatest artist
who ever lived, did not make in a
lifetime of toil as much as a prize
fighter makes in a few minutes. A
college football game will draw thou
sands of frenzied spectators, but not
a handfull of people will go to hear
an intercollegiate debate.
The reason th(at gentle, refined
girls are particularly attracted by :
brutal and rowdy men is because we
are instinctively drawn toward our
opposition. There is something al
luring in the unknown type. It is,
nature trying to adjust the balance
of humanity so that we will not
have at one end of the scale thdse
who are all animal, and at the other
end those who are all soul. But Na
ture thinks only of the good of the
race, not of the happiness of the in
dividual. and this difference which
draws people together before mar
riage separates them after marriage
and such unions nearly always end
in misery for both parties.

Dear Miss Dix —Why is it when a
married man pays a little friendly at
tention to a woman where he is em
ployed every one starts gossiping and
thinks he is in love with her, even
the woman herself?
Most married men are well an
chored and wouldn’t give their wives
for all the flappers in kingdom come,
so you see that is where I am laeking, hut
I guess my hair will remain long. Os
course holtbed hair is a personal matter and
everyone should do a« they please about t.
but ! don't think it is becoming to grown
ladies, as their hair is their crowning glorv
and beauty. It's pretty for young girls
under sixteen to wear bobbed hair. This is
merely my opinion. Well, I have politely |
left my subject on ideals, so 1 will now j
come back and tell you about mine. As to (
his person, I would prefer him having dark I
hair and eyrs. being tall, etc.; but all that J
doesn't matter so much if lie is a "real ,
gentleman," which my ideal is. to be n
“gentleman" he must be a true Christian,
respect and defend all forms of weakness,
have moral ideas, and that would include
leaving tilings alone, such as intoxicating
liquors, which would tear him down phy
sically as well as mentally. He should also
strive to bring liis country so a higher stand
ard of civilization. I would like for him to
be a Mason, because I believe they practice (
chivalry, i. e.. sacrifice on the par tof the ,
strong in behalf of the weak. My ideal I
must have an income sufficient to supply I
the needs of a common home. He need not
be rich, because happiness does nut come
through riches necessarily. Now. [ have
never seen this “ideal." but 1 will have
plenty of time to see him before I am an old
maid, 'cause I don't consider any girl an
old maid before she passes twenty-five, an!
I am only nineteen. Neither do I consider
a man an old batchelor before he passes |
thirty. I think young people should want ,
to secure a good education, enjoy single lite I
and do some special line of work or aceo n- ,
plish something else good before they settle |
down to a married life. They will be more i
ready to settle down then, and here would j
not he so many divorce cases. I did intend I
to tell you about my* good luck in painting |
our little runabout buggy, but I haven’t ’
rime. so. auntie, please pardon me and I'll )
not bother you folks again until another ■
school term has passed. Every body write to |

but every married man who is de
cently polite to a woman in his office
seems to be under suspicion.
MA RRIED EMPLOYER.
Answer: I suppose. Mr. Man, it is
another illustration of the old prov
erb, "Give a dog a bad name and
hang hinp.” There, have been so
many office Lotharios, and so many
employers have eloped with their
pretty stenographers, that the world
has come to look with a. suspicious
eye upon even the most casual kind
ness that a man extends to his fel
low workers of the female persua
sion. Especially when they are
young and good-looking.
For a, man to be seen out lunch
ing with a. pretty, little, hob-haired
i secretary, or to take her home in
i his ear, could set the tongues of
j gossip wagging, though his in
; terest might be as innocent and
i paternal as that of any grandpa who
| ever fed a hungry youngster, or
gave a lift to a tired one. But no
body would believe it, because the
movies and the lurid melodramas
and the sex novels portray the tired
business man as a wolf in sheep's
clothing, and every working girl as
either an abnormally innocent lamb
or as chief of the home-wrecking
■ crew.
All of which, of course, is tomrny-
I rbt. Less philandering 1 goes on in
| a business office than anywhere, else
in the world. Working people are
concerned with making money in
stead of making love. Flirtation js
a parlor game, not an occupation
that pulls down a pay envelope.
Furthermore, the men and women
who work side by side are not apt
to fall in love, because they see
each other too clearly and too close
i ly. They get al] the disillusions
i that matrimony would bring with
| out any of its compensations. The
I only thing that the average einploy
, er ever notices about his women em
ployes is their efficiency, and he is
j far more concerned about their spell
ing or their salesmanship than he
is about their eyes. And the aver
age woman employe does not see her
boss as a figure of romance. She
thinks him a grduch, and is sorry
for his wife, instead of wanting to
As for a woman’s mistaking the
nature of a man's attentions, that
is'the commonest thing in life. The
ability to believe that every man
who is polite to her cherishes a se
cret passion for her is God's great
est gift to woman. It salves the
wounds life deals her vanity. You
will always find that the less at
tractive a woman is the more con
vinced she is that she is a vamp
that no man can. resist.

Dear Miss Dix —Would you think
it advisable for d. sixteen-year-old
girl who has been brought up in a
lovely home, and with every ad-
ahead of her, to marry a
boy a few years older than she? The
girl really loves him. and is assured
of his affection, hut she loves an
other person almost as well, though
not exactly in the same way.
Do you think it probable that a
hoy who has given,up drink and
wild girls because he loves this girl
i would return to them after they are
, married? THE GIRL.
Answer: My dear child, any girl
; of sixteen who has a good home and
I thinks of leaving it to get married
I should be locked up in some safe
I place until her temporary insanity
; passes. And any girl of sixteen who
I even dreams of doing such a suicidal
thing as getting married when she
doesn’t know which of two boys she
likes the best should be put in a
padded cell. She’s violently crazy
with homicidal tendencies.
Why do you want to wreck your
life at its very beginning? Why are
you in such a hurry to plunge your
self into misery? Why «io you want
to marry any man when you are
not in love with him, for you cer
tainly have only a. passing fancy for
a. boy if you doubt your own af
fection for him. ' Think it all over
for the next five or six years, and
i then you won’t marry either one of
■ them, but you will choose a man
who won t have to be reformed and
whom you will know that you love.

The Time io Cut Oats and Vetch sot
Hay
R. E. A-. Monroe, Ga., writes:
I have oats and vetch planted
for a. feed crop, and would like
to know just when to cut them
to make the best feed crop.
Oats and vetch should be cut for
hay when the oats are passing out
of the dough stage. You may think
that the vetch will he somewhat
green when this condition pertains,
but not sufficiently so to be objec-1
tionable. if you let these crops ripen ]
too much, the hay will contain more
fiber and be less palatable. Much
more shattering will also occur un
der these conditions than when the
crop is cut at an earlier stage.
In making hay, two or three
things should be kept in mind: 1. To
cut the crop when it contains a ma
jority of digestible nutriments. This
will occur in the case of oats ano
vetch at the time of cutting sug
gested. 2. The next thing is to try
and handle the crop so as to mini
mize the Joss of leaves, because they
contain the larger part ot the read
ily digestible animal nutriments. 3.
To handle the crop so as to keep it
in a clean, bright, and palatable con
dition.
Feeding , Cowpeas on Mineral i
Elements
D. F. R.,. Hoboken, Ga., writes: I
I want to sow quite a large j
acreage, in peas this year and
some of the land is pretty thin,
and lam afraid the yield will not ;
be good, unless I use some ferti- I
lizer, I am going’ to sow them |
after oats. What fertilizer I
would you advise?
About the best fertilizer formula;
you can use for cowpeas consists
of a mixture of acid phosphate and !
muriate of potash. These two ele-/
ments are not found in largely avail- s
able form in most of our Georgia (
soils. We consider it good practice, ;
thetefore, to use a mixture ot two
hundred pounds ot acid phosphate,
and better, three hundred pounds, ■
along with a. hundred pounds of ;
kainit or one hundred pounds ot
man ”re’salts. This material may be
put down at the time the peas are
drilled into the land. They of course
can be broadcast over the soil and
harrowed in. When seasonal condl
tions are favorable, we have often
disked peas in and secured a good
stand. In many cases, we have had.
to plow the land. 5 In any event, we
have found drilling them in the
most effective method because ot
the better stand obtained and the
saving of seed effected thereby. Cow
peas belong to the family of legumes,
and, in nearly all inslances, respond
to application of crushed, raw, lime
rock. This material may be applied
at the rate of one to two thousand
pounds per acre and harrowed or
disked into the. soil previous to the
seeding of the peas and the applica
tion of the fertilizer formula sug
gested above.
Food Requirements of a Good Dairy
Cow
C. B. L., Atlanta, Ga., writes:
I am interested in what it costs
to feed a dairy cow a, balanced
ration in order that it will give
25 pounds of 5 per cent.-milk per
day, assuming that we have ear
corn, oats, pdavine, sorghum hay
and can silage. What else will
be necessary to.make up a bal
anced ration?
A cow which gives twenty-fiva
pounds ot 5 per cent milk a day
should be liberally and generously
ted because if she continues this
practice, for a period of three hun
dred days or thereabout, she will
yield 7,500 pounds of milk. No doubt
this is several times her body-weight.
An excellent ration can be made
up out ot the concentrated and
roughage you have on hand. Ear
corn should not be fed to a dairy
cow but reduced to the form of corn
and cob meal. The oats can be fed
to better advantage it they are
chopped. Equal parts ot corn and
cob meal and oats will make a very
good ration. Better results will be
obtained, however, if you will use
one-third corn and cob meal, one
third oats, and one-third wheat bran.
1 am not suggesting the use ot cot
ton seed meal or peanut meal tor
the simple, reason that you have
plenty ot peavine hay oh hand and I
this will supply a part of the pro
tein needed by your cow. You
should feed about twenty pounds of
silage morning and night. A rack
should he provided which is acces
sible to the cow at all times in which
a. supply of clean, bright peavine
hay or sorghum is kept. She will
eat what she needs of this roughage
ration. Then the grain mixture
should be fed on the basis ot one ■
and one-half to two pounds per each '
owe hundred pounds of live weight. ■
If you use a milk scale, you can I
quickly determine when'the use ot
additional concentrates will cease to
be profitable.
As soon as grass is available, let
your cow have the range of a pas- j
ture. The cost of feeding cows ■
varies widely, depending on whether)
you purchase all the feed or j
part of it at home. The grain part
of your ration will cost on an aver
age of from one and one-half to two
cents per pound or from eighteen to
twenty-four cents a day. The tough- i
age part of the ration will cost from |
ten to fifteen cents per day. The
cost of feeding your cow will vary
anywhere from twenty-five to forty
cents a day. Os course the animal
(o .which you refer specifically ic
your letter is producing a large
quantity *of milk and is therefore
consuming an unusually large
amount of costly feed. .

FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Varieties of Corn Suited to Silago
Production
J. C H., Cedartown, Ga.,
writes: I wish to know which is
the best corn to use for silhf©.
I also would like to have your
opinion on the Biloxi soy beans
as a hay crop. I am going into
the stock business next year.
What grasses would you suggest?
Parts of my farm are badly in
. fested with Johnson grass. Do
you think I should try to eradi
cate it?
Jt is difficult Id suggest the name
ot the best variety of silage corn.
In our experience we have used a
good many for this purpose, and a
number of them have proved them
selves to b° of about equal merit
for the purpose indicated. For a
number of years we used a corn
known as Virginia Ensilage. We
have also found Cooke's Prolific quite
satisfactory. In Virginia, we uted
Golden Dent. Here at Athens, we
have found the prolific, types to be
quite satisfactory for this purpose.
Among those we might mention in
this connection are Marlboro, Hick
ory King, Hastings Prolific, and
Whatley’s. You can secure these
varieties of corn from any reputable
I seed dealer or from any farmers who
I are making a speejaky of breeding
i these, varieties in Georgia.
I Some years ago we abandoned the
I use of corn for silage purposes al-
I together and now- depend on planting
5 alternate rows of Red Head or Suma<j
! sorghum and White Kaffir corn.
I This gives us a large yield of silage.
I which we consider equal for feeding
| purposes to that obtained from corn,
I These crops are also good drouth
: resisters.
I The Biloxi soy bean is a very good
'variety for grain and hay. It has
not given as large a yield in our
, demonstration field, however, as eith
er the O-too-tan or the Laredo. Wa
would be inclined, therefore, to give
preference tn these strains on so
count of the record they have made
here. The O-too-tan is best adapted
I for cultivation in south Georgia be
cause of the long season it requires
in which to properly mature. in
ease I could not obtain seed of the
Laredo soy bean, I would give the
Biloxi a. trial.
One who desires to go into the stock
business must naturally enlarge his
feed-producing operations. This is
one thing that, has tended Io hold us
back in Georgia. We must grow at
least our own roughage and certain
ly a part of the concentrates needed
as well. A fairly good pasture can be
prepared in semi-shaded woodland
areas. It is necessary to cut the
frees out to a. considerable degree.
In such locations, of course, Ber
muda. will only do fairly well. You
could not doubt use Lepedeza on
such areas to good advantage, an<*
so™ Red Top and Orchard grass
should also be sown. For the moist
bottom lands in north Georgia, a
good mixture to Use would be from
five to ten pounds of Lespedeza, threa
w’hu ds O , f Da,,is ffrass ' <wo pounds of
White clover, and four pounds of
Red 1 op.
It is difficult to eradicate Johnson

its spread in check.
