SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
For Oct. 26, 1924—The Stilling of the Storm. Mark 4:35-41.
BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
Golden Text: “I will arise and go
to my Father."—Luke 15:18.
The religious leaders of the day
were the bitterest enemies of Jesus
because He went in direct opposi
tion to everything they held dearest.
They were particularly critical of
Him when He allowed publicans and
outbreaking sinners to have any as
sociation with Him. He had come
to seek and to save that which was
lost; these were of the greatest need
because those who had the truth
held themselves aloof from them.
They considered themselves too good
to associate with them, and refused
to be contaminated by any contact
with them at all.
On the other hand, Jesus opened
His hand and His heart to them be
cause of their need, and naturally
they flocked to Him in great num
bers. He could not be contaminated
by them, and He had come to lift
them out of their low estate.
Th eclimax came when He actual
ly sat at the table and broke bread
with them. That is. He went into
their homes, for He had no home of
His own to which He might go. This
called forth the bitterest denuncia
tion of Him by the Pharisees and
the scribes who murmured, saying:
"This man receiveth sinners, and
eateth with them!"
The Rejoinder
This brought forth from Jesus in
rejoinder the threefold parable of the
lost sheep-lost coin-lost boy. . It was
His answer to this criticism of
theirs. Remember this carefully or
you will be led afield; for often with
so familiar a passage we are apt to
read too much into it unless we keep
it in its setting and recall just what
it was that brought it from the lips
of Jesus.
These are not three parables, but
one. “And He spake this parable"
unto them. And if you will note the
record carefully you will find noth
ing in verse 8 or verse 11 which in
dicates that He is telling another
parable. It is a continuous story to
illustrate one point and to answer
their one objection. Briefly sum
marized the three-fold parable sets
over in opposition to their unloving
exclusiveness the love of God for
’the lost, and His rejoicing for their
return in opposition to the Phari
see's sinful criticism of the One who
is finding those who have gone
astray. The picture of the elder
brother with which He closes is a
■true picture of the critics.
Let us, therefore, not separate the
parable, but consider it as He pre
sented it, as one, for each part ot
it presents one phase of the truth.
The lost sheep just strayed away,
grazing along the edges and befoi e
it knew it wa s separated from the
flock and the shepherd’s care. The
lost coin rolled into a corner when
the holding chain broke; it was in
active. The lost boy, however, went
away deliberately and wilfully.
In the case of the first two there
was an active search. The shepherd
left the ninety and nine who were
safe and went out over the wild
country exposing himself to all kinds
of danger, not stopping until he had
found tlie sheep that wa,s lost, ami
then bringing it home on his own
shoulders and placing it safely with
in the fold. That one sheep He con
sidered of sudh value that he would
risk his life to save it.
The woman searched for the lost
coin until she found it. The sheep
was only one of 100; the coin was
one of ten. But that was not its
chief value. It was a part of the
wedding gift. Instead of a wedding
ring the wedding gift was a neck
lace of ten coins. To lose one of
them was like a woman today los
ing her wedding ring, or even more
than. that in those days, for it might
even indicate that she had not been
faithful to her wedding vows, if
she was so careless as this with
that which sealed them. No wonder
then she moved every piece of furni
ture in the house and swept every
corner and stopped not until she had
found it.
In the case of the lost boy. how
ever, the thing was different. The
father didn’t, go out to seek the boy.
The boy had pre-emptorily demanded
his inheritance before it was due.
Nothing belonged to him until his
father’s death, but he demanded it
now—and the father graciously (he
didn’t have to) yielded to his un
usual demands. Then he left home
wilfully and deliberately. He was
lit Ad of the restraints which a lov
ing father had thrown around about
him; he insisted on going away
where ho could do as ho pleased.
And to be sure he would not bo
molested, he wont as far away as
he could; “and there wasted his sub
stance in riotous living." What, a
mighty heap the Holy Spirit can
pack into a few words! The steps
downhill are easy, and the descei.t
rapid. That young 'willful sport
"spent all.” and didn't have one
thing to show for it—-not. even a
friend: for the ones who had con
sidered him a. good follow and good
company as long as he h id some
thing to sjvend turned away from
him now that ho had nothing, to
look for another such sucker to
spgnd other money on them. “No
man gave unto him." His state was
indeed a pitiable one. Why he was
even driven to the job of being
a swineherd—the lowest possible for
any Jew. and his employer, even
drove such a hard bargain w’fh him

that not even his food was a part
of his consideration; if he got any
thing it was just part of the husks
that he could get like one of the
pigs!
The Father’s Love
Yet in all of this the father did
! not .seek for him, like the shepherd
! had for the lost sheep or the woman
for her lost coin. Strange isn’t it?
No, not strange when you stop to
think, for the father loved the boy
too much. He might have employed
detectives to follow him and report
to him the boy’s condition from time
to time; he might have sent to his
necessity as he received information
thus; he might have sent messengers
to bring the boy home—but that
■would not have been the wisdom of
love. The brty might have been
urged to come home or might have
been forcibly brought home and his
need supplied, but his heart was un
changed and he would soon have
! gone astray again. His greatest need
was a change of heart; he had to
! come to himself. You see he had
I not just wandered off like the sheep,
nor been carelessly lost by someone
like the coin. He had willfully and
deliberately gone away. He had re
sented his father’s restraint and had
intentionally left his father's pres
ence. In love, therefore, the father
had to hands off until the boy came
to himself and had a change of
heart. That was his greatest need.
So the father didn’t send for him,
but waited. Oh, yes, his heart was
ever with that boy! Not one mo
i ment was his mind off of him. He
i watched the gate every day; his eyes
i were way down the road that he had
j gone; his imagination was active in
wonder as to what he was doing and
where he was; his heart was break
ing for his boy’s presence. But he
didn’t turn a hand to bring him
back—he had to wait for the boy to
come to himself.
Finally that happened. The boy
had been stripped of his all. Mate
rially he had nothing, and then he
began to realize how' poverty-strick
en he was spiritually, as well. He
began to think—first it was about
how much better off the servants
were at home than the son was
away from home. Then came the
turning point in his life—his de
sire crystallized in two words “I will"
When that point was reached, the
rest was quickly done. “I "will arise
and go to my father, etc.” He be
gan to see the greatest truth of his
life —that to be with his father and
have nothing is worth more than
all the world if he is away from him.
It cost him a tremendous price to
learn that, but it was worth the
price.
The will made up, action was
quick. He arose and went to his
father.
Not a very attractive picture—
dirty, unshaven, smelling of hogs,
clothes tattered, sandies worn out,
feet sore and bleeding from the
rough stones of the long journey,
the lines of dissipation in his face,
bleer-eyed; instead of the springy
step, the tired drag. No, not a very
attractive picture; he would not be
recognized by the ordinary person.
But the father! Yes, he recognized
his son. When he was yet a great
distance off, that father who had
been watching the road every day,
whose heart had been yearning for
this moment, that father saw him
and recognized his son! Rags and
dirjt and sin-lines could not blind
that father’s eyes!
Throwing aside dignity and self
restraint, his heart moved with com
passion for that poor boy, he ran
to meet him, threw his arms around
his dirty neck and kissed him.
(You see now that Jesus l was re
buking the critical spirit of those
Pharisees and scribes who objected
to his eating with publicans and
sinners.)
The Restoration
The boy began his speech that he
bad determined upon in that far
country: "Father, I have sinned
against Heaven, and in thy sight,
I and am no more worthy to be
called thy son" —but he didn’t get
any further with it. That confession
was necessary and the father lot
him get that far, but no further.
He stopped him right there, and be
gan giving orders to his servants
to restore the son completely. Bring
out the “first” robe (for so is the
Greek), the robe he wore before he
went away, and put it on him —
thus restoring him completely to
the place he had occupied before
he left. Put a ring on his hand —a
■ symbol of authority; restored to his
place of authority as a son. The
j servants would have been loath to
I honor his commands otherwise. And
I put shoes on his feet —as one has
! recently suggested that he might go
' over the same journey again with
| out. harm. Bring the fatted calf—
| the family festival, that at the table
with his father he might have fel
lowship in the biggest way.
And the father tells the servants
the reason for all this—a resurrec
tion has taken place! The old boy
iis dead, a new boy is here in his
i place. The old one wanted to go
I away, this new one wants to stay
■ and bp with his father forever.
And so in each case—the shep
herd who finds his sheep, the wom
an who finds her coin, the father
who finds the boy—there is great
rejoicing over that which was lost.
What a terrific rebuke to those re-
I ligious leaders who were murmur-
■ ing because Jesus was finding lost
| souls, souls which these leaders
knew were lost and for that reason
were doing nothing to find them.
That Other Son
Jesus hasn't finished with these
scribes and Pharisees yet, though.
He concludes the parable with a
| picture of themselves. The friends
and neighbors came in and re
joiced with the shepherd and the
woman: but the elder brother had a
different attitude. He resented the
merriment; be was angry and would
not go in. He complained to his
father, falsely accusing him of never
having given him a thing, and as
serting his own righteousness. This
was the typical Pharisee or scribe!
But notice the father's attitude
even now. It seems to me to be one
of the most exquisitely beautiful
things in the whole ministry of
Jesus. The father comes out and
begs this angry, critical older son
to come in; and when he falsely
-accuses him of never having given
him so much as a kid. the father
replies gently and lovingly— not re
sentfully, as he might have done —
"Son. thou art ever with me; and
all that 1 have is thine." The
father's presence was vastly more
than any number of his presents
could have been. That was what the
younger son had just learned. Hav
ing him he had all!
Ah. do you catch it? Jesus was
showing these critical, cold, hard
hearted. unloving Pharisees and
scribes a photograph of themselves:
but at the same time he was show
ing them that God. the loving
Father, not only rejoices over the
return of a prodigal but anxiously
waits to have them see that He
would have them, too. desire His
presence most of al!, as He desires
their hearts most of all.
Have you learned that yet? That
to have God and to be with Uni.
. is life's greatest treasure?

do you cousins do for pastime? For myself,
I go fishing and hunting an read the dear
old Journal. My grandmother stays with us.
My mother has been dead ten years. I was
only four years old when she died, so yon

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins; Will you
please make room for me again in your
jolly circle? I'm just wondering if you all
are enjoying life as I am. I suppose some
of you remember me, as I have written to
your page before, and I can say I have
gained sopie very dear pen friends. The
winter season is approaching here and it's
almost time for ns to put our bathing suits
away and change them for winter wraps.
That’s disheartening to me, because I do
enjoy bathing, but I can change that sport
to something I like almost as well, and
that's bunting. How many of you like
kodaking? I think it great sport, and have
lots of good snaps from my camera. Boys,
let's not. lot the girls get ahead of ns writ
ing. Os course, they can write lots better
and more interesting letters than we do, but
why should we worry. Let’s write »s many
as they do. How many of you can boast e
woman governor for your state? I can
hardly do it yet, but I think and believe
that on November 4 they will elect a woman
governor for Texas. Mrs. Miriam A. Fergu
son will certainly be our next governor. With
oodles of love to all, 1 will ask for a card
and letter shower from all. My age is
twenty. Aunt Julia, here is 0 cents for

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’ chat with all of you
jolly cousins. I have written to the Letter
Box again since my letter was printed in
January, 1924, but it was not printed, so I
decided to try again. Auntie, I. thank you
very, very much for printing my other let
ter. and hope you will print this one. I
surely did appreciate all the letters you
cousins wrote mo, and I atn sorry to say I
could not. answer them nil, but. they were
appreciated all the same. Well, what are
you cousins doing for a good time? Going
to school, I suppose. For myself, I have
been working in the field, etc. Cleta Jack

Dear Ann' Julia: It’s just I. a littln
Alabama girl, coming in for a short visit.
As "ideals" are beinj discusseil I'm semi
ing in a little poem for the Letter Box.
Here it is, cousins:
Don't Marry a Man to Reform Him
Don't marry a man to reform him.
To God and your own self be true;
Don’t link his vice to your virtue:
You’ll rue it, dear girl, if you do.
No matter liow fervent his pleading,
Be not by his good promise led;
If ho can’t ho a man while a wooing,
He'll never be one when he’s wed.
There’s many a maiden has tried it,
And just proved a failure at last:
Better tread your life's path alone, dear,
Than to wed a lover that’s fast.
Mankind's much the same the world over,
The exceptions you'll find are but few;
Ami the rule is defeat and disaster
The chances are great against you.
Don t trust your bright, hopes for the future,
The beautiful crown of your youth.
To the keeping of him who holds lightly
His fair name, his honor and truth.
To ‘ honor and love" you must promise;
Don’t pledge what you cannot fulfill.
If he 11 have no respect for himself, dear,
Most surely you then never will.
Make virtue the price of your favor,
Place wrong-doing under a ban,
And let him who would win you and wed
you.
Trove himself in full measure a man!
This is just a little poem which I read
a few days ago, and liked it so much I
wanted the cousins to read il. Bill Show,
while 1 wouldn't expect you to give a rap
for my opinion, it I had space I'd like to
express the views of a great many girls,
ami boys too, concerning the "Modern Flap
per" and "Jelly-bean Roy.” I’erhaps it
is just as well for the "modern boys' ” and
"modern girls’ " peace of mind that they
cannot know what all boys ami girls think
of them. I’ll tell you a little about my
self ami give you another poem, then I’ll
be going. I have brown hair (no, it isn't
bobbed) blue eyes, fair complexion and IS

Dear Folks:
I neglected to put my "don’ts” in
last week, but am going to give you
a few here as requested by one of
our readers.
Now to some of you these “don’ts”
will, seem ridiculous, but you have
I nt> idea how unconsciously we/break
these laws of manners.
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
DON’T
Don't use a toothpick in public.
Don't make yourself conspicuous
in public places by’ loud talk or man
ners.
Don’t jostle people out of your

Don’t discuss people unless it is
pleasantly.
Don’t use. your fork as if it were
a gardei| tool.
Don’t start eating until the rest

some one please write her?
Worried Boy: A girl of sixteen is
surely too young to marry. If your
mother is willing to be sweet and

of your boiler and the boiler when
you are cooking cabbage you will

Norrie: Don’t “touch up” your
hair. It is the greatest mistake in
the world it will only make you look

be admitted this time, it has ‘been almost

ery one who wrote to me before to write
me a letter and I will assure you an an

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
Tired of. Baby-Tending?—Take a
Night Off Every Week —Is There
a Chance for an “Old-Fashion
ed” Bachelor Among the Cake-
Eaters?—Will She Fall in
Love After Marriage?
DEAR MISS DIX—I am a mar
ried woman about twenty-sev
en years old, and I have a lit
tle girl of two. Everywhere that I
go I have to take the child with me,
and, as she is heavy and gets sleepy
an d cross, she
destroys a n y
/. pleasure T might
c ' have in going to
\ places. N,o w
11 Oder stand
please, that I
-v’< am devoted to
child ami
!■ love to take
f \ care of her, but
, I am human and
young, and I
B would occasion-
a Ny a little
JgS care-free diver-
—tasx...... sion. My hus-
band, however,
holds that a. mother should always
lug her baby about with her wher
ever she goes. Don’t you think that
a young mother needs a night out
without her child once a week, and
that her husband should be willing
to mind the baby while she takes
a night off? L. M.
Answer: I certainly do, Mrs. L.
M., and I think there should be an
Amalgamated Order of Wives that
would demand at least the privileges
of a nursery maid’s Thursday eve
ning off, and who would go on strike
and a lockout until they got it.
Six days a week it is but fair that
the mother should toil and take care
of the children and relieve her hus
band of the burden of them as much
as possible, for that is her end of
the domestic partnership. But on the
seventh day she should have some
respite from her labors. Further
more, it is up to her husband to re
member that he is just as much a
father as she is a mother, and that
his turn comes to ride herd on the
kids.
The plan of givinga mother an
evening off every week presents
many admirable features. For one
thing it gives the father a chance
to get acquainted with his children
as he never would in any other way.
There is a 10l in a howling infant
besides the pain in its little tummy,
and the man who has walked the
colic rvhile mother was off at her
club or play finds out much valuable
psychological information about Ijis
offspring that later stands him in
good stead when he has to deal with
an obstreperous hobbledehoy boy or
flapper.
Taking care ot the children’ on
mother’s night off also would give a
man a lot of sympathy for his wife,
and forever keep him from saying
to her, as so many men do, “I wish
I could take things easy as you do,
and had nothing to do but just to
stay at home with the children.” He
would know that no other labor on
earth is so continuous, so monoto
ous and so nerve-racking as baby
tending.
Above all, for a woman to have a
right off every week would break
the strain under which she lives and
prevent thousands of cases of nerv
ous prostration. It would give her
something to look forward to, some
thing to enjoy rememebring. It
would freshen and rest her in every
way and make her a better mother
and wife because much of woman’s
unreason and irritability is nothing
but sheer nerves.
I honestly and truly believe that
half of the domestic misery in the
world could be cured by the simple
expedient of husbands and wives
freely and graciously granting to
light brown hair, brown eyes, fair complex
ion: her birthday ia August 28. Has she a
twin? If so, write to her. We will let .vou
guess our age, which is between fourteen
and seventeen. Gome again, (Mr.) Milo
Brantley; your letter was fine: and also
Bill Snow, wake up and come again. Now,
we wonder how many of you will give ns a

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you |
please welcome another girl from the dear I
old state of North Carolina into your band |

a wee bit and let me have a seat by our 1
dear Aunt Julia, please. I have been a i
silent reader of the dear old Journal for a I
long time, and enjoy it, especially the Letter ’
Box, but I just could not pick up nerve i
enough to write. How many of you cousins I
like to go to school? Ob. just look at the!
hands go up! j du , too, cousins, and this Is ,
my second year in high school. My greatest I
desire is to get an education, so that's what ,
I'm striving for. I hope some day I shall ;
succeed. I like to read the letters from the
cousins about their “Ideals,” so go ahead ;
and write them: but I'll not tell about mine'
this time, for I am not ready for a life
partner yet. I must say I like all the boys,
especially if they are of good report. I sup
pose you are wondering how I look, so here '
goes: I have light brown hair (bobbed, of I
course), brown eyes and medium fair com
plexion. I was about to forget to tell you
that I live on a farm cf 153 acres, and must
say I just dearly love farm life. Who has

Ruffin, N. C.. Route 3.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I have at
last decided to join your band. I have been
reading the letter- in the Letter Box from
time to time for a number of years, and I
enjoy reading them lots. I always like to
make new friends, and I think this is a fine
way to make them. I live on a farm of
one hundred acres, and think country life is
fine. So many boys and girls oppose country
life because it is so hard. I'll agree with
them that it is hard at times, but there is
nothing that is worth while that is not
earned by bard work. Life is just what we
make it. no matter where we are. I like
the ide* the poet expressed when he said
“Give to the world the best you have, and
the best will come back to you.” I enjoy
g- ing to church and suntlav school, and think
it is onr duty to go as often as possible. I
have always lived near a Bap’ist church, and
go every Sunday. I :radr,ated from the
State Secondary Agri tiltv.tsil school at A'-
hertville tn 19'-’3 and have taught one term.

each other the right, of a night off
once a week.
Dear Dorothy Dix —Do either men
or women appreciate intelligence, in
dustry and modesty in the opposite
sex, or do they prefer flippancy, for
wardness and flapperisgi generally?
I am an example of the former
class, and for that reason see~a life
of bachelorhood ahead of me, al
though I am not old, nor cold, nor
ugly, nor ignorant. I just cannot
make myself a silly, fawning crea
ture with no other aim than to chase
butterflies. A. A.
Answer: I think, A. A., that both
men and women really appreciate
intelligence, industry and modesty,
ajid certainly these are the qualities
that they expect their wives and
husbands to possess.
But the trouble is they are lured
by flippancy and flapperism. Their
eyes are snared by the outside glit
ter, and they never stop to inquire
whether what they are getting in
marriage is pinchbeck or solid gold.
All of us know men who possess
every good quality, whom girls pass
up for varnished-haired youths
whose brains are all in their heels
instead of their heads. And we all
know highly educated, domestic
women, tender, loving and sympa
thetic, who would make the most
wonderful wives in the world if they
had a chance, but who never even
have a beau to bless themselves
with.
And every day we see little fool
ish monons of girls carrying off the
matrimonial prizes.
Yet for all of this, it isn’t that we
prefer the flippant to the serious
It is only that somehow foolishness
seems more enticing than wisdom,
and perhaps the remedy for this is
for the stiff-backed to unbend a lit
tle and learn how to jazz and for the
highbrows to comb down a few curls
over their bumps of intelligence.
The graven flower upon the sword
makes not the blade less strong,”
and even virtue is all the better for
being wreathed with the charms' of
suavity and social graces.
Dear Miss Dix—l am sixteen and
am to be married very soon to a man
nearly ten years odler than I am.
Mother and father both love him as
a son, but I only love him as I would
a big brother.
Now here is the point of my letter:
Do we not find, and keep happiness
in bringing happiness to others?
Will not I, in seeing how wonderful
ly full I make the life of the man I
marry, find contentment ana peace?
As I grow older will not I learn to
love him?
Answer: A woman who marries a
man she does not lox'e may possiblj’-
fall in love with him after marriage,
but there’s not one chance in a hun
dred that she will. The disillusions
of matrimony, the conflict of wills
and clashing personalities, the re
straints and sacrifices demanded by
marriage all tend to make a woman
or a man fall out of love instead of
falling into it.
M hen a girl of sixteen marries
without being in love, tne odds are
that when she falls in love it will
be with some man other than her
husband.
The idea of finding happiness in
making your husband happy is high
faluting nonsense. You cannot play
a part and pretend an affection you
cannot feel.
Nor can any normal Noting girl
satisfy herself with pale self-abnega
tion. She wants something red
blooded and vital, the joy of life for
herself, love, romance, passion, and
these you do not get out of living
for others.
Believe me, my child, you do the
man you are going to marry without
love a great injustice and y ; o u wreck
your own life. Don’t do it.

I'll return it and pay postage both ways.
The “Ideals” seem to be the subject, so
I’ll fell you all how my “ideal” must be.
He must be kind to everybody, must not be I
a drunkard. I don't mind his using tobacco.
He must be about 5 feet 6 inches tall, have
black hair and I like blue eyes, but brown
eyes will do if he is the right man. I have
black hair, yes, bobbed, gray eyes and me

proud of nur Letter Box. particularly since
tlie special subjects are being discussed.
Somehow tlie “Ideal Husband" strikes my
fancy more than any. Some of tlie "ideals
are going to be rather hard to find, I'm
afraid, hut. girls, we arb willing to make
some alterations if necessary, aren’t we? I
don't know, though I believe if I were mar
ried to a good, congenial, jolly, home-loving
and. of course, wife-loving man, I would
claim him for my ideal regardless of former
descriptions and expectations. As for his
looks, that is of minor importance, for
“pretty is ns pretty does." Perhaps some
day I'U find mine, as I'm not so awful hard
t<> please. When I wrote before I got lo's
of nice letters. I got sonic awfully sweet
letters front girls, thinking that I was a
boy, and letters from boys, thinking I was a
girl. Don’t blush so. girls; I wouldn't em
barrass you for anything. I like to get
sweet letters too well for that. Now. hon
est —and don't misunderstand me—l'm a

FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Getting a Start Along Diversified
Lines
H. M. F., Ogflethorpe, Ga.,
writes: I have rented a tract of
120 acres of land ten miles from
Macon. The land is heavy sand
land with kaolin cropping out at
intervals; it is very hilly and
some little bottom land. I wish
advise as to how to manage this
.land and what to grow on it
for best results.
It is difficult to give you the in
formation you desire without know
ing more of the purpose you have
in mind. Your farm could be
handled along one of several lines.
The growing and shipping of truck
could be emphasized. You might
farm, or emphasize fruit growing,
if you so desire. The safest propo
sition for a new beginning is to di
versify production. There are some
crops which each year bring a good
price. Os course crops vary in their
yield according to seasonal condi
tions. If the bottom land is well
drained, it should be devoted to corn.
If too xvet for satisfactory cultiva
tion, then utilize it for pasture. Car
pet grass, Lespedeza, and Red Top
will make a good mixture to sow on
moist bottoms.
There should be no trouble about
disposing of the milk or butter from
a few cows to good advantage, as
Macon is nqt well supplied with these
products at this time, and an article
of quality should sell readily as a
good price. One, of course, can start
in the dairry business on a very
modest basis and develop and expand
as time and opportunity permit. The
land in question will grow very fine
crops for silage, thereby insuring
your having a very desirable substi
tute for grass at a season of the
year when grazing is short.
One should ne able to grow some
truck on a farm of this kind to good
advantage. Cabbage, English peas,
beans, tomatoes and turnip greens
can be produced and sold to ad
vantage if proper forethought rela
tive to the production, cultivation,
and marketing of these crops are ex
ercised. A small, home orchard
would prove an asset. Personally, I
would be disposed to plant a small
acreage to cotton each year, not
over, in any event, ten acres to the
plow, and probably five would be
better. One who is not prepared to
fight the weevil and does not under
stand his life-history js not likely to
raise very much cotton, but where
calcium arsenate is intelligently
used, a profitable crop of lint can
be harvested. You can no doubt
grow muskmelons and watermelons
to some advantage. A few acres of
the latter crop could do doubt be
cultivated to advantage. You should
be able to sell them through some
of the-co-operative marketing organ
izations now established in your com
munty. ' We understand that there
are some canning organizations be
ing operated in the vicinity of Ma
<con. Probably you could contract
to grow certain kinds of crops for
one of these concerns. It is desira
ble that you select and plant only
the best standard varieties of the
crops planted and that you fertilize
your land in a skillful manner. You,
of course, must expect to establish
and maintain a rotation of crops,
if you are to keep your land in good
candition for cultivation from year
to year.
BUILDING UP THE SOIL IN
A PECAN ORCHARD
J. A. L., Swainsboro, Ga.,
writes: I have recently pur
chased a pecan orchard in which
the trees are five years old and
have been well cared for. I want
to plant such crops in the or
chard as will put humus and ni
trogen in the soil. How would
it do to sow crimson clover this
fall and turn it under about the
first of May and plant it to corn
and velvet beans?
Crimson clover. will undoubtedly
be a. good crop for you to plant in
your pecan orchard for the purpose
of increasing the. nitrogen supply of
the soil. Under normal conditions, a
part of should be gath
ered out of rhe air by this crop be
cause it belongs to the family of
legumes. It is presumed, of course,
that you expect ot turn under this
crop. Immediate sowing should be
undertaken. Sow about 20 pounds
of carefully selected seed. On land
where this crop has not been pre
viously grown, inoculation of the
seed may be desirable. We
found it good practice to use 200
pounds of acid phosphate and 100
pounds of kainit in connection with
the seeding of crimson clover. It
is desirable that the land be limed
freely. This end is best accomplish
ed by the application of a ton of fine
ly ground, raw rock. The lime should
be put on before the legume is plant
ed, and it is important to see that
the seed do not come in contact with
any of the commercial fertilizer,
which may be applied to the land
later on.
You may, of course, use rye, oats,
and vetch alone or in combination
for a winter cover crop for a pecan
orchard. The !>?st summer crops
are undoubtedly the cowpea and the
velvet bean. It Is important to re
member that most cover crops
grown, however, are watery in na
ture and therefore some commercial
fertilizer should be used along with
them.
For young trees, we recommend an
application of from one to five
pounds of a formula that contains j
about 4 per cent nitrogen, 8 per cent
! phosphoric acid, and 3 per cent pot
ash. It makes very little difference
'what carriers of these elements ere
i used to prepare the formula. The
important thing' is to see that it con
tains the elements indicated.
Sowing Cereals After Spanish
Peanuts
.1. E., Stillmore, Ga., writes-
Please advise me about sowing
crimson clover and rye for graz
ing purposes. I intende to put it
< n ground that has been planted
in Spanish peanuts. Should I use
lime? Will slaked lime do? What
fertilizer shall I use? Is
Lindsey Johnson winter bean a
sure crop, and can they be grown
on peanut land?
It is considered very good prac
tice to sow ertmson clover and rye
together. This may be done for one
of several reasons:
1. For the improvement of the soil.
2. For grazing.
3. For hay production.
Crimson clover combines quite well
with rye under the soil and climatic
conditions pertaining in Georgia. It
is best not to sow the rye too thickly
st as to give the crimson clover a
better chance to grow and develop.
It is valuable in making what is call
el a good "bottom.”
These two crops tend to mature at
about the same time. Therefore they
can be grazed or cut for hay with
advantage. In our exprience in seed
! ing crimson clover and rye together
we have proceeded as follows: We
sow about three pecks to a bushel of
rye to fifteen pounds of crimson
clover. A good, standard type of
grain drill may be used for this
purpose. The rye is sown through
the grain seeding attachment. You
: can of course sow rye by itself if
you prefer, covering it in well with a
disk harrow and then sow the clover
after covering it into the soil with a
weeder or with a brush harrow.
W» have not found it necessary to
t
use lime to obtain a very good stand
of crimson clover. In sections where
peanuts are extensively grown, our
disposition would be to put the lime
on previous to the planting of this
crop. Finely ground, raw rock is
the cheapest form of lime you can
use. It does not act so quickly in
the soil; therefore, you should use
twice as much of it as you would of
freshly slaked lime.
For a combination crop of the char
acter you have in mind, we suggest
an application of 200 pounds of acid u
phosphate, 100 pounds of kainit, and
100 pounds of cottonseed meal.
It will not be good practice of
course to continue to grow peanuts
on the same land for any consider
able period of time. So we suggest
that you make arrangements at an
early date to rotate your crops.
The bean to which you refer has
only done fairly well at thte college.
We can not therefore commend it as
the equal of other beans which we
have tested. We do not consider it
so valuable as some other crops
which may be made to occupy the
land during the winter season.
Improving Sod Land for Winter
Grazing Purposes
C. H. V., Sasser, Ga., writes:
I have a fine lespedeza and car
pet grass pasture. Is there any
thing I can sow on it to have a
pasture through the winter; in
other words, to make an all-the
year around pasture of it. I
have a flat bottom heavily sod
ded in carpet grass that over
flows sometimes. Is there any
thing I can sow on it that will
grow in winter?
You are fortunate to possess a
well-set lespedeza and carpet grass
pasture. There is no better combi*
nation which you can undertake to
establish for pasture purposes in
your section of the state. The
length of the grazing season may be
increased to some extent on damp
soils by adding' three pounds of Red
Top and two pounds of White clover
to a mixture of ten pounds oi
lespedeza and three pounds of car
pet grass. We suggest that you
sow the two varieties named this
fall. Any time from now on until
the fifteenth of November should
answer very well in your secetion
of the state. White clover, as you
know, is a seasonal plant. Its value
for grazing is chiefly in the earlj
spring. It would be of considerable
advantage in a pasture of the kind
you describe, because it would be
available for grazing before les
pedeza is available. Lespedeza would
also furnish later fall and earliei
spring grazing 'than you would be
able to obtain from carpet grass.
The land should be free from
standing water, though the combi*
nation suggested is well adapted t«
low, moist bottoms. Red top wil!
do best on clay soils, and white
clover on the more fertile areas
For the high lands of south Georgia
the best combination we can recom*
mend is carpet grass four pounds
and lespedeza ten pounds. Bermuda
grass has not given very good re
suits irt your section of the state
except on the better grade of ret
lands.
