Seeding Wheat and Clover Together
in Georgia.
S. J. 8., Adairsville, writes:
I want to sow some wheat and
’clover this fall, flow much clo
ver seed should be sown per
i acre? What kind and how much
■ * fertilizer should be used on these
• crops? •
Bed May and Georgia Red-are two
varieties of beardless wheat which ;
we have grown here at Athens for
•' some years with considerable sue
, cess. Georgia Red made an average
yield for the four-year period of 29.1 ■
■ bushels per .acre, and Red May a '
yield of 28 bushels per acre. There ■
is little to choose between these two .
’ strains of wheat for growth in your
section of the state. Both I think
would prove equally hardy. The
straw is fairly long and stout enough
to answer all practical purposes
The heads are of moderate size, and
, the grains fill out quite well. We
> are inclined to regard these as two
X of the best beardless varieties of
wheat with which we are acquainted
for cultivation in Georgia.
On the red lands of your ’section
of the state, alfalfa does well. It is
by all odds the best crop for you to
plant for purposes of hay production
or grazing. When once well estab
lished, alfalfa will remain on the
land for a number of years. It makes
a good yield of hay. It can be cut
from four to six times in a season.
The hay is of very superior quality
i for feeding purposes. Alfalfa is a
1 rather difficult crop to establish, and
* it is not worth while planting it un
the land has been thoroughly
■ prepared and enriched with
heavy applications of crushed, raw,
limestone rock. Use uncleaned, in
oculated, western seed. Plant on or
about the fifteenth of October.
You may make a very good pas
ture in your section of the state i
‘ from Bermuda sets and Lespedeza. i
The Lespedeza should be sown at the ■
rate of ten pounds per acre. This
mixture is especially well adapted for
rich hillsides, or uplands. On the
bottom lands of north Georgia, good
pastures jitay be developed from
sowing from five to ten pounds of
Lespedeza, three pounds of Ballis
grass, two pounds of AVhite clover,
and four pounds of Red top. Les
pedeza should be sown in the spring,
say in March, or April. It is essen
tially a summer-growing legume.
The Ballis grass, Red top. and White
clover may be sown any time during
ths month of October. It is inipor
tant that a good season be in the
ground before the planting is under
taken. Covering the seed into the
«oil with q, bush harrow, or a weeder
• constitutes good practice..
Will Salt Benefit Asparagus Beds
W. M., Montezuma, Ga.,
writes: Is salt, beneficial to as
paragus, and if so, what would
be the proper amount to apply
per acre?
Salt han been used since the ear
liest historical times in. connection
with our agricultural practices. The
method of action or the benefits
, which it is supposed to confer upon
crops has never been fully investi
gated. nor are they as fully and com
pletely understood as they should be.
It is thought at present that agri
cultural salt, which is the refuse salt
too impure to utilize for commercial
Purposes, may induce the following
action in the soil:

FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
should be kept as free vs insect* and
fungous diseases as possible. To
do this, it may be necessary occa
sionally to spray them, when they
are defoliated, or even after the
leaves have fallen. They should be
pruned systematically So that all
dead wood and all unnecessary
branches may be removed as prompt
ly as possible. Naturally, they
i so should be pruned so as to keep
i rhe head in proper proportion to the
■ size of the body. A very shapely and
! beautiful tree may be produced
I through pruning. Nature of course
| will do a lot of pruning herself, but it
h's a slow and costly process. When
trees are damaged by wind stores,
they should be cared for immediately
so that wounds may not be develop
ed that will soon become centers of
decay, thereby shortly encompass
ing the destruction of the tree. When
the limbs are broken, they should be
cut off nicely and the wounds cover
ed with a. protective paint. Tn case
decay sets in,the sofe material should
all be removed and the hole plastered
up. If the work is properly done, the
bark may eventually grow over and
completely cover up the hole. The
life of trees cared for in this way
may be prolonged as much as fifty
years.
How Live Stock Farming Will Help
the South
R. S. C„ Raleigh, N. C.,
writes: 1 will appreciate it if
you will give me your idea of
the part which a systematic de
velopment of live stock produc
tion will play in bringing wealth
and permanent prosperity to the
farmers of the south. Bo you
think there is need for laying
special emphasis on this line of
work, due to the fact that the
south Jias been following a sys-
• tern of single crop production
; for so many years?
The people of the south are agi
tated and distressed by the presence
of the boll weevil. It has accom
plished an appalling degree of de
struction throughout the length and
breadth pf this great empire during
the last few years. Fortunately, I
believe we have reached that point
when we now understand how to
combat and control this insect with
a high measure of success, and so
I think we should be able to cut
down our Josses materially in the
future and still continue to produce
cotton-on an acceptable basis in so
far as our own needs and those of
a considerable proportion of the bal
ance of the world are concerned.
If we are to continue to grow cot
ton successfully, it is manifest that
we must proceed along new lines.
We have talked about diversification
for the last one hundred years. We
must now make it an actuality. We
have said that cotton must, be a
surplus money crop, but evidently
we did not mean what we said, for
certainiy we have failed to make it
such, though assuredly we can do
so.
To produce cotton on a profitable
basis in the future, it will be neces
sary to curtail the acreage and plant
only selected varieties on land of
much higher grade than has been
used in the past and fertilize and
cultivate the crop with an intelli
gence and skill not previously con
sidered necessary. Today we are.
possessed of millions of acres of
poor land. It is doubtful if we can
grow cotton thereon with profit or
advantage until it is materially im
proved. How can this be accom
plished in the quickest ami most
effective way? By establishing a
definite system of diversification.
What does this now mean or in
clude? The production of a greater
variety of surplus food and gram
crops. How shall these be disposed
of? Locally, of course. If we are
to build up the soil, they should
primarily be fed to live stock on
the farm. How is this to be trans
lated from a theory into a fact?
Only and solely through the develop-
* ment of our aSimal industries to
that point at least where we will be
self-sustaining in so far as our
home needs for beef, milk, butter,
cheese, pork and poultry products
are concerned. Can we raise and
maintain these classes of animals on
our farms to the extent needed at
a profit? Certainly, we can, with
the right kind of leadership. This
fact has been demonstrated over and
over again. To do this, we must
quadruple our attendance upon our
agricultural colleges and strengthen
and enlarge our activities in both
the research and extension fields
-as they relate to agriculture.
Unless we supply our needs for
! live stock locally, the money we ob-
I tain for cotton will go elsewhere for
these essential food stuffs, and we
will continue the agricultural prac
tice that has impoverished all the
j generations which have passed since
i the time of Oglethorpe.
It is useless to talk about making
. cotton a surplus crop until wo learn
!to diversify. If we diversify, we
■ must have live stock to consume
our surplus farm crops. There is
a great deal of idle talk at present
I about there being no market for
: what the farmer grows. There
; ought not to be a market except
for properly finished farm animals.
Our own experience here on the
college farm, from which we h.ave
, sold nearly $200,000.00 worth of live
I stock products, shows what can be
done in any other section of the
south, were the landowners so mind
ed. We have handled many of our
flocks and herds at a profit. We
have taken an old, abandoned cot
ton plantation and made it a pro
ductive live stock entity. We have
sixty acres in alfalfa. Some of this
alfalfa has been cut for ten years.
The average yield has been five tons
of cured hay per acre. At $30.00
I per ton. what is such land worth?
■ There are 5,000.000 acres of this
’ type of land in the foothills of north
1 Georgia alone.
England has been two thousand
years developing her generations of
I expert animal husbandmen. We
I have a long way to go and a hard
j and difficult road to blaze out and
follow. But it can anil will be done.
The future prosperity of the south
| and of the southern farmer depends
! absolutely upon the institution and
i carrying into effect of a stabilized
j program of live stock production.
This, and this alone, will enable us
to function independently of the rest
of the world in so far as the animal
food requirements of our local pop
■ illation is concerned.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousin*; I have just
finished leading the cousins' loiters, and so
plucked up courage to take my pen in hand
and try my luck. I enjoy reading all of the
letters, but especially was 1 interested in
the one written by Luther Huff. If there
were more men and boys like him there
would lie fewer flappers. Why don't more
of you Tennessee cousins write? I am from
that state, and think it a grand one. Well,
cousins, I know that each and every one of
you has an aim or ambition to which you
are. looking forward. 1 think it would be
interesting to hear more of these. tor my

drives her own car and sits by the fire at
night with her dog and cat at her feet, an.l
with her adopted children seated on each
side of her. Now who can paint a more
ideal picture of domestic bliss titan this?
Iteally. do any of you think there was ever
a married couple who were as happy mar
ried as they would have been single'.' Pos
sibly there are a few, but, as a rule, I
think not, and it seems to me that it is
nearly always the case that the woman gets
the worst end of the bargain when she
stands up and swears to love, honor and
obey her “good John.” So now. while T am
waiting for the bomb to explode which I
have thrown into camp. I'll tell you some
thing of myself and then I'll go. I have
light hair (bobbed), blue eyes and fair skin.
My birthday is December 2”. and if 1 have
any twin cousins I would like to henr from
them. 1 will leave my age for the cousins
Io guess, which is between seventeen and
twenty-one years. If nothing prevents I
will be a high school graduate in 1925 I
live about I’4 miles from the school which
I attend. That is the Chester County High
school, and I’rof. W. K. Montgomery is

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
How About Women Who Paint in
Public? Can You I.ove a Man, Yet ■
See His Faults at Same Time? (
How to Secure Peace in the
Home
DEAR MISS DIX—Do you think I
it is any worse for a. man to
shave or make his. toilet in
church or the theater than it is foi
a. woman to make hers? By this I
mean the applying of cosmetics and
other appliances
peculiar to wom
en.
I t has be
come su c h a
habit with the
fair sex that I
presume it
would take a
decade to abol
ish it. However,!
I think that if
ni e n would
shave in public j
it would soon;
make the worn-'
en sit” up and
take notice. If
|rj^ z J
women knew how men despise the
sight of an artificial face, they
might change their system. DOC.
Answer: I certainly agree with
you, Doc, that it is a cHsi , llu . slo "!”n
thing to see a woman calmly haul
out her rouge and powder and hp
stick and proceed to make up 1
face in a public place. And certain
ly nothing is more amusing tnan
the expression of perfect com
placency with which she fma 5
surveys' her artistic labors when the
job .is done.
But what T object to is the pub
licity, and not the cosmetics. Na
ture made a pretty poor, bungling
job of most of us females, and we
need whatever helping out we can
get, since it is the part of human
ity to be as easy upon the beholder’s
eyes as we can. Therefore, I hold
it is a virtue and not a vice to put
a permanent wave in naturally lan
ky. slinky hair; to paint a rose on ;
a' sallow’cheek, and to pluck _a|
wandering eyebrow into a thin, j
straight line.
Really, Doc, you haven't any idea ’
what a debt you owe to the hand-1
made complexion, for it has virtual-1
ly eliminated the homely girl. Beau- i
ty is only skin deep, you know, i
and every skin nowadays is so nice-1
ly kalsomined an ( ] tinted that it is j
the skin you love to touch.
If you should meet a girl au ;
naturel you would he like the man j
who thought he objected to rouge, j
When his wife came down dolled j
up for a party he said to her, stern-1
ly. “Madam, go upstairs and wash i
your face.” The obedient wife did |
as she was told. When she return- i
ed, as ugly as God created her, j
the husband said, “Madam, go up
stairs and put on twice as much j
rouge as you had on before.”
What I object to is not cosmetics, ‘
but their application in public, for i
I hold that a woman’s complexion |
should be a secret between her and ■
her mirror, and that no man should ■
be put wise to it. It destroys the I
illusion, it dissipates the charm, to
see how the trick is performed. A
very wise man once said to me that
his idea of a subtle woman was one
to whom a man could be married |
for seven years without his ever
finding out whether her hair was
her own or not. Same way with her I
complexion, say I.
As for men hating the sight of \
an artificial face, go to, Doc! The ;
painted woman always has had an j
allure for man that the simple,
natural woman never has possessed. 1

disgusted and discouraged with life, i
and yet I have only lived eighteen :

throw me into the same trap that
it has thrown thousands of others.
I opened my eyes wide and looked
about. At once doubt entered my
mind. Again, it is said that where
(here is any doubt in the mind of
lovers, it is not the real love that
possesses them. Now, I love a young
man very much, yet see many things
in him which I fear will detract
from our future happiness. Please
tell me what to do. DOUBTFUL.
Answer:
The only love that is blind is par
ental love. It is perfectly possible
sos mothers and fathers to honest
ly believe a homely child beautiful, a
dull child clever and to see an angel
in a little devil, but that is only be
cause the child is a part of them
selves, and our personal vanity keeps
us from realizing our own faults
and weaknesses.
The love of a man for a woman,
or a woman for a man, is never
blind, but real love is all-forgiving.
You do not have to think a man
handsome, or brilliant, or a perfect
knight in order to love him. On
the contrary, you can be perfectly
aware that he is no sheik as to
looks, and will never set the rivet
on fire, and that he is awkward
and gawky, and will need a lot of
polishing up by a good wife. Yet you
know that he is more to you than
a perfect paragon of a man would
be. The real slogan of perfect love
is, “With all thy faults, I love thee
still.”
It is the men and women who
know themselves and each other fnr
poor, weak, stumbling human beings
who know how to make allowances
for each other.
♦ ♦ *
Dear Miss Dix—My husband and
I have been married six years. We
began having trouble several years
ago, and as time passes we get along
worse. YVe cannot agree on any
thing, for we do not care for the
same things. He is one of the most
unreasonaole persons to be found
anywhere, yet when he was courting
me he appeared to be one of the
most congenial. I cannot stand it
much longer. What shall I do?
MISERABLE WIFE.
Answer:
If you cannot agree, why not agree
to disagree? Sit down and talk it.
out quietly. Tell your husband that
if he won’t interfere with your opin
ions, you won’t interfere with his.
Absolutely refqse to argue. If he
says black is white, let it go at that.
You can think what you please on
the subject. It takes two to make a
quarrel, and an argument drops flat
if no one controverts it. When your
husband begins to quarrel just walk
out of earshot. You can break any
one of the habit that way. Any
woman can have peace in her home
if she has the courage to fight for
it, and silence is always her best
weapon.

“FIGHTING RYAN” RETURNS
TO BATTLE OF WALL STREET
Third of Name Takes Up the
Fight for “Come-back” of
Father Caught in the Stutz
Motor Corner
BY MALCOLM ELLIS
(Copyright, 1924, by the Consolidated Press
Association —Special Leased Wire
to The Atlanta Journal.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—The old
blood tells. And that Is why an
other fighting Ryan is going back
to Wall street to resume the tight
of the Ryan klan against the butting
bulks and the choking bears.
The name of Ryan has been a
power in the “street” for two gen
erations. Now a third Ryan is about
to take up the battle. The old grand
father, Thomas Fortune by name,
beat Wall street and all its wily
ways. His son, Allan A. Ryan, went
“broke” in a spectacular attempt to
“corner” Stutz stock and crush the
brokers who dared to sell it “short.”
Thomas Fortune Ryan would not
help his son, so he was ousted from
the street. The name of Ryan was
dragged in the dust.
Now along comes Allan A. Ryan,
just out of college, starting out in
ti small way after a seat on the
curb exchange, but with his eyes
fixed on the “big board” and a de
termination in his heart to regain
his father's fortune and to make
'he name of Ryan once more feared
wherever the bulls and bears gathei
over a fatefiA ticker.
From his retirement, watching
Irn’ is the seventy-three-year-old
man whom Wall street called the
shrewdest trader of his time, the
man who organized the Southern
railway, the American Tobacco com
pany and the Seaboard Air Line
railway, built Chicago’s Elevated
loop and merged the traction compa
nies of New York into the Inter
borough, who purchased control of
the Equitable Life Insurance com
pany, in a bitter fight with Harri
man and held the five greatest banks
of New York in the hollow of his
hand.
It means more to Thomas F. Ryan
than to any one else to have the
name of Ryan back on the street,
because he was the original fighting
Ryan. He dared to fight Whitney,
Harriman, Belmont and others who
crossed his path. He was the most
powerful figure of the street when
he retired and the failure of his son
left him bitter, although the son
had teen estranged from him ever
since he called his father’s second
marriage twelve days after his first
wife died, “disrespectful and dis
graceful.”
“If somebody doesn’t stop him,”
William C. Whitney warned Wall
street, when he was fighting with
Ryan in the SO’s, he’ll have every
dollar in Wall street.” Remember
ing that, the street has already be
gun to watch the younger Ryan.
The beginnings in finance of the
grandson and grandfather are much
alike. A giant in stature, but only
twenty years old, Thomas Fortune
Ryan came to Ne? York in 1871 by
way of Baltimore, where he clerked
in a department store and begged,
jobs from door to door of the fa
mous brokers of the street. Ho had
no money, but he had cunning anti
vision and daring. Before h<* was
thirty, Eyan had married the daugh
ter of the man in whose store h«
had clerked in Baltimore, organized
the Seaboard Air I ine railway and
had his first million. Wrigley had
learned that Ryan couldn’t be stoppea
and was allied with him in a deal
that won control of the metropolitan
railways.
At the height of his turbulent
career, marked by an unsuccessful
fight with Harriman for the control
of the Union Pacific and a success
ful tight with Harriman for the con
trol of the EquitableLLisae—a fight
that brought about the Hughes in- '
vestigation and a clean-up of the
insurance business —Ryan held di
rectorates in and control of fifty
one companies, including the biggest
bank in the United States. He owned
three life insurance companies, a >
big block of American Tobacco, con
trol of Seaboard, of the Georgia rail
way, the eGorgia Bank and Trust
company, the American Surety com
pany, a big block of the Southern
railway, the Pere Marquette, the
Hocking Valley and in addition to
various other interests, was advanc
ing money to King Leopold for the
deevlopment of the Congo Free
State.
In return as a dividend, King
Leopold sent him twenty-seven unit
diamonds.
The Equitable fight won Ryan his
greatest notoriety. He and his as
sociates had almost a majority, Har
riman and his held almost a ma
jority. James Hazen Hyde held the
block of stock that gave control,
Harriman had tried for years to con*
iiol the Equitable; Ryan had only
recently turned his attention to it.
Rvan persuaded Hyde to sell him
the controlling block. Harriman
was in a rage. He threatened Ryan
and failing in that, cajoled him.
Ryan held cn to Eqlutable and or
ganized a. trusteeship headed by
Grover Cleveland, just out of the
presidency.
Ryan retired in 1908 with more
millions than he could count, his son
Allan taking up the fight. Allan or
ganized the Royal Tyepwriter com
pany to “fight the trusts.” He also
was a daring trader and the market
fo'lowed his movements. While he
was ill in 1920, bears began to drive
on Stutz stock and drove it low.
Ryan was angered and purchased
every share of stfick he coul&
get his hands on. He drove it from
about par to $319 a share and caught
brokers who had sold “short.” He
forced them to pay up, some of them
Dtfying the stock as high as S7OO a
share to deliver it to him upon his ■
demand. He had a paper fortune
of $35,000,000. but he had wiped
away the market for his stock. Two
years Jatfr, as a result of the Stutz
fight, he went “broke” with sl6 In ...
cash and $5,000,000 in unsecured
debts.
