FARM EDUCATION

The Cost of Making One Hun
dred Pounds of Pork
J. S. Y., Ty Ty, Ga., writes:
Can you tell me about what it
costs to feed a pig up until he
weighs 100 pounds?
The cost of raising pigs up to the
£ point where they weigh 100 pounds
is influenced by many things and I
do not presume I could give you fig
ures which would be very accurate
in anr event. Possibly the best way
for me *o answer your inquiry is
by proceeding along a different line,
» and advise you as to the amount of
grain required by hogs at different
weights and ages.
The average of many feeding trials
shows that hogs weighing 15 to
50 pounds consume about 2.2 pounds
of feed pei’ day, make an average
gain of .8 pound per- day, and re-
QUire 283 pounds of feed for 100
tfonnds of gain.
Hogs weighing 50 to 100 pounds
consume approximately 3.4 pounds
Aof fede per day, make an average
of .8 pound per day, and re
quire 400 pounds of feed for 100
pounds of gain.
Hogs weighing 100 to 150 pounds
consume about 4.8 pounds of feea
per day and make an average gain
of 1.1 pounds per da*y. They re
quire 437 pounds of feed for 100
pounds of gain.
Hogs weighing 150 to 200 pounds
require about 5.9 pounds of feed
S>er make an average gain of
per day, and require 482
pounds •of feed for l"00 pounds of
,-gain.
Hogs weighing 200 to 250 pounds
consume "'about 6.8 pounds of feed
per day, make an average gain of
1.5 pounds per day, and require 498
pounds of feed for 100 pounds of
gain.
Hogs weighing 250 to 300 pounds
consume about 7.4 pounds of feed
per day, make an average gain of
1.5 pounds per day, and require 511
’pounds of feed for 100 pounds of
’ gain.
Hogs weighing 300 to 350 pounds
consume 7.5 pounds of feed per day,
make an average gain of 1.4 pounds
per day, and require 535 pounds of
feed for 100 pounds of gain.
Blight: Its Cause and Control in
Orchards
G. P., Buckhead, Ga., writes:
Please tell me what to do for
blight on pear trees and for
young pecan trees about three
years old whose tops have died
down, but whose roots have sent
up new shoots. Will it injure
? fig bushes and fruit and shade
trees to saw out the dead limbs
now? Also tell me when and
how to plant fall Irish potatoes
for the market and give the best
method of cultivation. Flease
send me a recipe for making
sauerkraut.
Pear blight is an exceedingly diffi
cult disease to deal with. Practically
all the pears which have ever been
set out in this country have suc
cumbed to this disease!* The Kieffer
and the Pineapple pears appear to
’be exceptions to this rule. These
pears, however, have no value for
edible purposes, but, if properly han
'dled, make a fairly good canned
product.
The only means of fighting blight
in the pear tree seems to be that of
. cutting off the affected limbs. These
should be cut off well below the
point of disease. Burning consti
tutes the proper disposition to make
of these brancb.es. You should have
ar strong solution of corrosive subli
mate in which to dip the shears be
fore a fresh cut is made. Corrosive
sublimate, as you doubtless know,
. Is a deadly poison, and it should,
* therefore, be handled very carefully,
and when you are through with it,
pour it out in a hole in the ground
where it cannot possibly do any
' damage. The handling of blight in
/iny type of tree is carried forward
L on the same basis.
I am unable to say as to whether
you should try to save your pecan
trees or not. If they are just young
trees, it may be worth while. Prob
ibly, however, the shoots to which
you refer are coming out below the
bud, and, in that event, it would
be best to dig up these trees and re
place them with those known to pos
sees desirable qualities. It is a
great waste of money to allow the
. land to be occupied by an ineffi
cient strain of pecans. These trees
vary much as t o their ability to
tyear and yield. Therefore, the set
ting out of standard varieties of pe
cans is the practice for you to fol
low.
Sauerkraut may be made as fol
lows:
The outer green leaves of the cab
’bage should be. removed, just as in
preparation for boiling. Quarter the
heads and slice off the core on each
quarter. . Cut into thin slices with
i large and pack immediately
into a fWectly clean keg, tub, or
crock, salving in proportion of one
pound of salt to forty pounds of cab
bage. When the barrel or crock is
Aearly full, the cabbage should be
pressed down as firmly as possible
ind covered with a clean board. The
gait soon extracts the juice from the
tabbage, and a weight of clean brick
or stone should be added to cause
the brine to rise above the cover.
As soon as gas bubbles cease to rise,
the scum should be removed if
»ny has formed, and a layer of hot,
melted paraffin one-fourth to one-

half inch thick should be poured
upon the brine. You may use a
coating of octtonseed oil on the
surface instead of paraffin and ex
clude air from the brine in this
way.
In preparing sauerkraut for a
small family, it is better to use a
number of small crocks than just
one large container. This enables
the family to use only what is need
ed from time to time and lessens
the danger of spoiling.
The season of the year when fall
Irish potatoes should be planted is
at hand. The ground should be
broken to a good depth and stirred
frequently so as to produce a fine
tilth. Wide, deep furrows should
be opened. Plenty of fertilizer should
be put in the middles and well mixed
with the subsoil by means of a bull
tongue. You may purchase the
planting seed. The Lookout Moun
tain is on of the best strains
to plant at this Season. Small, un
cut potatoes may be used, if you
prefer. Whenever there is a sea
son in the ground, put out the seed.
Cover deeply into the soil, and keep
the surface well stirred so as to
conserve moisture. If you can mulch
the land planted to Irish potatoes to
a depth of several inches with straw
or partly decayed leaves, it will be
an advantage. In growing a crop
of fall Irish potatoes, it is necessary
to secure a good strain and get them
out of the ground in time to ma
ture before frosts occur.
Revamping An Old Peach Orchard
C. M. H., Anniston, Ala.,
writes: I have some peach trees
about ten years old on which
every limb is covered with gum
from borers, and most of the
fruit has worms in it. Is there
any chance of saving these trees,
and what procedure should I fol
low?
Your peach trees are so diseased
and in such a bad condition gener
ally that it is doubtful if you can do
much to improve them. Their age is
against their being resuscitated on
a very satisfactory basis. Os course,
on the other hand, you may try
the following procedure with some
considerable success:
Trim these trees out very severely
as soon as they are defoliated in the
fall. Rake the earth away from
around the base of the trees and
take a sharp wire and run into every
opening found for the purpose of
killing the borers. There is a chemi
cal material Which you can use for
this purpose which is quite effective;
but for treating a few trees, we
think the procedure indicated is the
best for you to follow.
The trees should be sprayed this
fall with a lime-sulphur solution to
destroy the scale. They will need
to be sprayed again in the spring
on or before February 15. You will
then need to follow the regular
spraying procedure for peaches as
laid down in any good spray calen
dar. The procedure which we recom
mend is as follows:
1. During the dormant season,
use lime-sulphur solution diluted to
test 4.5 degrees Baume. When trees
are badly infested with scale, make
two applications, one in the fall and
another as late in spring as possible,
before growth begins. If one appli
cation is made, make it in the spring.
2. As soon as the shucks fall —
about ten days after the petals drop
—use self-boiled lime-sulphur (8-8-50).
To each 50 gallons of this add two
pounds arsenate of lead paste or one
pound of powder. This is an im
portant spraying to prevent wormy
fruit.
3. Two to three weeks later, re
peat No. 2.
4. Use self-boiled lime-sulphur
alone, four weeks before the fruit is
due to ripen. This spraying is very
important to prevent rot in ship
ment as well as on the trees. Never
use arsenate of lead with this ap
plication.
(Note: Varieties earlier than the
Greensboro need but the first three
applications and in the third the ar
senate of lead need not be used.
Varieties later than the Elberta
should have at least four applica
tions of self-boiled lime-sulphur).
5. Lice on peach trees can be con
trolled by the use of “Black Leaf
40’’ or soap solution.
6. The peach trees should be
wormed in the fall and the boiers
removed with a care being
taken not to entirely girdle the tree.
The wounds made in looking for
borers may be painted with a white
lead and disinfectant paint.
No doubt these trees need to be
fertilized to restore their vigor and
vitality. We suggest, therefore,
that, you apply five to six pounds per
tree with one hundred bearing trees
per acre of a formula containing 3
to 3 per cent nitrogen, 10 pounds
phosphoric acid, and 5 per cent
potash. Scatter this material in a
ring around the roots of the. trees
early in the spring and work it. well
into the soil. You may grow a cover
crop between the trees this winter.
There is nothing better for this pur
pose than vetch or oats. A good
spring or summer cover crop would
be cowpeas, soybeans, or velvet
beans. .
Revolt Against Reds
In Georgian Republic
Reported Suppressed
TIFLIS, Georgian Republic. Sept.
1, —(By the Associated Press.) —An
attempt to overthrow the soviet re
gime in Georgia was made last Fri
day night in several towns and vil
lages of the republic, it is disclosed
in an official communique issued
by the Georgia council of commis
sars.
The communique announces the
suppression of a counter revolution
ary rising at Tshiatoury in the Ku
tais district, where rebels seized the
town but were dislodged by govern
ment forces. The announcement
says that the movement has been
fully suppressed and the leaders cap
tured.
The rising is ascribed to support
ers of the former government, who.
despite public announcement that
they would abstain from a struggle
against the soviet regime, were pre
paring for civil war.

My Dear Children:
The letter from Bettie Wilder
which leads our department this
week, explains itself, but I do want
to say to you that a practical joke is
abominable, and there is NEVER
any excuse for such a thing. I feel
sure that my children would not de
liberately do a thing to hurt an
other, but you must think before
you do such a thing as signing a
person’s name to a letter without
their knowledge or consent. That
is a serious matter.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: May
the real true Bettie Wilder come to
your corner? I am sure you are
not used to having people write you
under some one else’s riame, that is
what some one did to me. Wrote
a letter to your column, and signed
my name. The description of me was
right, but the letter was not one bit
like one I would write. I do like
friends and like to correspond, but
■not the way it was wrtiten. I will
feel it an extreme favor if you will
print this letter, for the benefit of
my friends in other towns who read,
and probably misunderstood the
other letter.
I don’t understand why one of
my friends, if it was a friend, would
want to forge my name to a letter.
It was a poor sort of a joke, don’t
you think? But I always like to
receive nice letters from you boys
and girls.
May I come again?
Your niece and cousin.
(MISS) BETTIE WILDER.
Trion, Ga., Box 63.
M.v Dearest Auntie, and Cousins: I wonder
if the space I shall require will ever be par
doned? Anyway, I hope you will give me
just a few minutes. I think of our ’•he
ories—complicated life—and our ambition;
yet, however good or bad, life is life and
cannot be molded or changed by man’s will
alone. God works His wonders in myste
rious ways. Sometimes it is like waves,
like love. Religion cornes to us in waves
and is unfathomable as an element, yet it >s
this very thing. When we are young and
happy we think merely of home, school,
clothes and good times. Then all of a sud
den we think of love or religion, whichever
may be the case. Man’s word is God in
man, therefore our loves. And remember,
ambition is the sin which caused the down
fall of the angels. Yet life requires a car
tain amount of ambition and our few tal
ents, therefore the evolution of one into the
other, executed in the right way, proves jur
fitness as human kind to be leaders in cur
duty to uphold honor, to lay aside false ap
prehensions, conclusions, misgivings and
wrongdoing, to eschew evil and fear Gon.
And pray who is it that leads and points
the way upward? Our dear parents. I can
remember the touch of my mother's hand.
It was a beautiful touch, for I knew so well
each finger had warned me through :he
years and worked through the days Os
anxious hardships that life might he just a
little easier for me, and if we touch lives,
moments and events we must touch them
with clean hands, consecrated to service.
Every time you bring a gift to some one
else your fingers touch the rays of immortal
light. You give, and that. Is really what we
are here in this world for. Auiit Julia, I
hope this is not too long and is worthy of
being published. Cousins one and all, write
to (MISS) JOHNNIE TYMON.

Dear Aunt Julia, and Hello, Friends! It
gives me great pleasure to write you alt
again. It has been over a year since 1
wrote my last letter to you, and I hope that
several of you will remember me. I have
received several letters asking me to write
again, but I had rather read the letters than
write. I surely get lots of pleasure reading
the Letter Box. It certainly is a great
thing, because so many of us get So much
enjoyment, from it. Now I don't want to
take up so much -room, but I feel that. I
must say a few words to the Letter Box
friends who wrote me over a year ago. You
remember I received over 600 letters in an
swer to one of mine, in which I promised
to arswer all that I received. It. seemed
impossible for me to answer them all, but I
kept at it till I got it done. I think I have
answered them every one, but if I haven't
or if any of you failed to get an answer and
"'ill write me I will answer yet, and in
addition I’ll send you a nice surprise that
you’ll like. That's to show you all that I’m
a good sport yet. But listen! I want to
surprise you all right here —you, too, Aunt
Julia. When I wrote you all last I was
single, but now I’m m-m-married. Now how
many of you are sorry for me? Please ail
of you write to me. I’ll surely be glad to
hear from all of you and all of the cousins
who have never written me before. I wiil
answer all the letters I receive. All you
old friends will notice that my address has
changed. I have been traveling about quite
a bit for the last year, but now I have set
tled down in the mercantile and printing
business here at Mooresboro, N. (’., with s
good little wife to help me in my duti.ja
and she will act ns secretary in answering
the letters 1 receive from you all, therefore
you will receive much prompter service. 1
have certainly enjoyed all the letters I have
received and all that enter the Letter Box.
and I want you all to write to me, and I
want to see more of your good letters in the
Letter Box, for that is what it takes to
keep it going. So good wishes to you all

If you like cheese sandwiches
there are several combinations. A
slice of red pimento—you can buy
the canned pimentoes if you do not
can them yourself—and enough yel
low cream cheese ground with it,
seasoned with a little salt and mash
ed to a cream and spread on thin
slices of bread that have been first
spread with either melted butter or
mayonnaise. Cheese and raisins,
cheese and nuts of any kind fixed
the same way as the cheese and
pimentoes, also cheese and dried figs
or cheese and dates. The cheese sand
wiches are always better if whole
wheat or Graham bread is used in
stead of the white bread.
Mary T., Alabama:
There are many ways that you can
use your surplus of ripe tomatoes.
Try this: Peel them and cut into
rather small pieces, salt and pepper
and add to scrambled eggs just be
fore they have finished cooking. To
broil for breakfast, cut in half with
out peeling, put in an aluminum or
pyrex dish, put butter, pepper and
salt on the cut side and slip in the
oven to broil. Serve in the same dish
in which they have been broiled-

time to write, so please let me in while
all is right. I live in the western part
of old North Carolina, the dearest place
on earth to me. I live in the country and
like it fine, though many prefer the city.
I find. I am fond of flowers. They look
very pretty these long sunny hours, but
if it would rain they might look better,
for we are having some very dry weath

have brown eyes and dark brown 'bobbed)

nor fair. My age, let me see, it is be

day. If I have a twin, please write to
me without delay. Come on. North Caro
lina and don’t forget, if we do not hurry
Georgia will get ahead of us yet. Pardon
me. Aunt Julia, if I've stayed too long.
I know it is time I was gone. I hope this

other states even if they are written on
states. I am no gifted writer, you see,

his income,” some one said in speak
ing of a certain man.
“Poor chap! JTe has never had
any real fun in life. It. is horrible
to think of a
parent being so
cruel to his only
child’’’ exclaimed
a self-made man,
who is at the
head of a great
commercial or
ganization.
“It isn’t any
fun to spend
money. All the
thrill, the excite
ment, the sport
comes in making
it,” went on the
man who had
made his own
hrl

fortune. “Any idiot can spend
money, but it takes brains and skill
and finesse to make money. Spend
ing money is child's play, but mak
ing money is the great game in
which you »pit all that is in you
against your adversary, and in
which you match your wits, your
shrewdness, your farsightedness,
your courage, your stamina, aganist
the world.
“There is nothing of which you
can so easily tire as spending money.
There is so little we really want.
Food, clothes, shelter, a comfortable
chair and a good bed. After we
have got these, we have got all that
money will buy for us. When we
have eaten all we want, millions
cannot purchase us an appetite for
more food, or the digestion to assimi
late it. We can wear but one suit
of clothes at a time, sit in but one
chair, sleep in but one bed. And
when we have got these our money
is counterfeit so far as getting any
more physical comfort is concerned.
“Moreover, it is one of the peculiar
ities of human nature that things are
desirable to us just in proportion to
the difficulty of obtaining them, and
the knowledge that we can buy any
thing we want, keeps us from want
ing things.
“On the other hand, making money
is a pastime in which your interest
never lags, not because of the money
itself, for the dollars soon come to
be nothing but counters in the game,
but because business is the great ad
venture, the great romance, and be

achievement and proves a man to
Don’t disappoint me. Every boy and girl
write me, as I am a new cousin.

Copperhill,- Tenn.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
let another Florida girl into your happy
band of boys and girls? I have dark hair,
blue eyes, medium complexion, and am ten
years old. The St. I.uice river is back of
our house. We live in an orange, grape
fruit and tangerine grove and I surely do
enjoy the fruit in winter. I have a little
brother five years old. We have three kit
tens for pets. Mamma raises lots of chick
ens. I go to school at White City and I
will be in the fifth grade next year. For
pastime, I play with dolls and my little
brother, and then I help mamma. I will
close for this time for it is the first time I
have written to the Letter Box. Tell all
the cousins to write to me.

Dear Aunt Julia: Seeing so few letters
from South Carolina, I will endeavor to
write. Come on, South Carolina boys and
girls. Georgia and the other states are
far ahead of us. There are just so many
gifted writers in our state as anywhere, I
am sure, even if I am not among them
Well, the subject of "Ideal” husbands ami
wives is being fully discussed, I see. I a'n
afraid if some of the cousins wait for their
ideal partners, there will be plenty of old
maids and bachelors a-waiting. Don’t you
think so. cousins? No one on earth is per
fect. We all have faults. T hava a few
qualities r prefer my life partner to have,
but 1 do not sa.v I will succeed in getting
him. I want him to be a gentleman and
Christian above all things. I do not want
him to drink any strong drink or chew to
bacco. I am sure if men and boys would
think what a bad habit drinking and chew,
ing is they would never start it. I would
like for him to have the following de
scription: Black hair, brown eyes, dark
complexion, height, five feet seven inches
and weight. 150 pounds. I see most cous
ins are in favor of an education . There is
no reason why any one should be without
an education, for just look at the xvonder
ful opportunities that are open to the boys
and girls of today. Cousins, I am going lo
ask a favor of each and every one of yon—-
I want you to send me a poem. I have a
book in which I want to put them. Now,
cousins, come on with your poems, and don't
disappoint m“. 'Well. I see most cousins
describe themselves. Will say that 1 am a
blonde, and 17 years old. My birthday is
November 30. Have T a twin? All of yon
cousins write to n jolly bobbed haired girl,
and send photos if can. 1 will bid you all
adieu with best wishes for the future and
with regrets that J do not know each of
you personally. Yo.ur new cousin.

himself. When he has been through
the battle in which he fought up
from the ranks where he was a poor,
little, ragged private, to being a cap
tain of industry, he can look himself
in the face and know that he was
no weakling, but a man.
“Every man who makes a fortune
knows all of this, and he knows that
nothing his money buys him gives
him the pleasure that his work did;
knows that nothing the world of
fers can give him the absorbing in
terest that his business or profession
did in the old days when he was
struggling for a start, and when a
dollar advance on a barrel of flour,
or a new client made his heart sing
for joy.
“Our happiest days are those in
which we are toiling with might
and main to build a foundation un
der our castles in Spain, not those
in which we 101 l about in the com
pleted edifice, bored stiff because
we have nothing to do and nothing
to strive for. All parents know
this, and the amazing thing is that,
knowing this, and loving their chil
dren as they do; they are bent and
determined to cheat them out of the
most interesting and delightful ex
perience in life.
“Furthermore, parents know that,
beyond a modest competence, just
enough to give them an education
and a small start in life, money is
a curse to their children. There is
no such safeguard against tempta
tion as the lack of the price and a
thin pocketbook is a better protec
tion against the wiles of Satan than
the ten commandments.
Every rich boy is a shining mark
for all the vamps in his community,
and if he escapes them it is nothing
less than a miracle of God. Every
rich girl is the predestined victim of
fortune hunters, and she hasn’t one |
chance in a hundred of marrying a
man who loves her for herself, and
who will treat her kindly.
“It is the misfortune of the very
rich that they cannot save their
children from what the movies call
“the blight of gold.’’ That is the
heart-breaking price that the man
who makes a big fortune pays for
his success, as you will see if you
observe how millionaires’ sons and
daughters nearly always turn out.
“But people in more modern cir
cumstances could avoid this terrible
catastrophe if they would, and that
is why it is so pitiful to see fathers
and mothers working their fingers
to the bone and denying themselves
every luxury that will not only de
prive them of the greatest fun in
life, but that nine times out of ten
will ruin them.
“Why do they wish to deprive
their children of the pleasures they
had? Why do they cut their chil
dren off from the experiences that
taught them endurance and patience
and grit and self-control, and that
made them the kind of men and
women they are? Nobody knows,
but they do. ______
“You will hear parents say, ‘We
don’t want our children to go
through the struggle we did.’ Yet
that very struggle developed the
strength of character that enabled
them to climb to the top of the lad
der, and the lack of any necessity
to struggle, and thereby to develop
the muscles of their souls, will make
their children poor, weak, flabby
parasites who will collapse just as
soon as the prop of father’s check
book is removed.
“So I say again,” said the self
made man, “that I pity the man
who doesn’t have to make his own
way in the world. He misses sitting
in the big game, and parents who
deprive their children of this priv
ilege and pleasure do them a great
wrong.” DOROTHY DIX.

BY JOHN COSBY
(Copyright, 1924, by the Consolidated Press
Assoeiaiinn—Special I,eased Wire
to The Atlanta Journal.)
NEW YORK, Sept. I.—The goal
now aimed at by most of the auto
mobile manufacturers is to furnish
a car complete down to the finest
detail. In some cases this means
that the manufacturers of motor
cars may themselves go into the
making of automobile accessories.
The Ford company already is sell
ing to its dealers bumpers, wind
shield wipers and rear-view mirrors.
There is a decided prospect that
Ford will go in for other accesso
ries.
The Hupmobile people are now
furnishing; what they claim is the
only medium priced car including in
its purchase price every commonly
used accessory. Other companies are
approaching similar claims in vary
ing degrees. The Jewett people
have both a standard and a “de
luxe” line, the former priced with
out extras on a basis of quantity
output, and the latter at a price
sufficiently higher to cover the cost
of accessories.
The Ford company has taken the
position that as yet only a moderate
number of buyers want the extras
when they buy the car. By fur
nishing the Ford dealers at a low
price with the extras most common
ly used, they figure the demands
of all classes of buyers can be met
with the ultimate cost in each case
in proper ratio to the cost of the
unequipped car. In the' field o’
higher-priced cars, the trend is al
most uniformly toward a car which
has everything.
In addition to the factor of costs,
few producers at present are enjoy
ing a volume of sales heavy enough
to permit low-priced quantity meth
ods of production. The number of
men employed in the Detroit facto
ries last week fell to a low point
for the season, with 194,490 employ
ed as compared with a high for the
year of 242,331.
It is.an acknowledged fact in in
dustry that below a certain volume
of production, prices must increase
as out-turn decreases. Herein lies
the reason for many of the recent
price increases.
Strenuous efforts have been made
to avoid increasing prices by chang
ing manufacturing and merchandis
ing methods. A few companies have
concentrated on a single chassis
For example, the Buick and Nast
factories have eliminated their four
cylinder lines entirely, to center on
a six-cylinder model. Another com
pany has cut down the number ot
its models from 14 to 7. Still anoth
er is planning to eliminate open cars

entirely and construct only closed

One of the interesting things about
the contrasting theories is that the
leaders of each opposing faction are
making handsome showings. The
Hudson Motor company with proba
bly the smallest number of models
of any quantity-produced except
Ford, is selling twice as many cars
as it was a year ago. The Buick

neighborhood of twefttV models, als®
