FARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Damage Wroughmt By the Texas
Cotton Flea.
E. N. E., Ringgold, Ga., writes:
I have a field of cotton that was
almost a failure this year. The
stalk is very rank, but when
the first squares began to form
they dropped off. The land has
Tmen in cotton every year for
four or five years. The cotton
was worked nearly every week
and grew very fast. Many of the
stalks have scarcely any cotton
on. Can you tell me what is the
. trouble and how to remedy it?
From what you say, your cotton
was evidently attacked by what is
known as the "Texas flea.” This
insect appears to have made its
entry into Georgia for the first time
during the season of 1924. How it
got here, no one seems to know.
The nature and extent of the dam
age it may do in the future is prob
lematical. Its attack this year was
very sporadc, but seems to have oc
curred at many points scattered
a'bout throughout the state.
'eh’s insect attacks the squares
when they are very small, and they
apparently drop off in large num
bers. Its work is done in such a
manner as to make the average
cotton grower believe that his cot
to.x plants are simply shedding to an
excessive degree. Some fields at
tacked by this insect in the vicinity
of Athens were severely damaged.
We made an investigation of this
trouble, but have been unable as yet
to find any effective remedy by
which its depredations may be les
sened or controlled. We are dis
posed to think that greater damage
may be done in some seasons than
in others. Possibly the weather con
ditions favored the development of
this insect last season. An effort
will be made to determine as soon
as practicable some means by which
the ravages of this insect can be
lessened in the future.
Proper Distance to Space Cotton
D. P. M., Cobbtown, Ga.,
writes: I want some informa
tion on spacing cotton plants
under boll weevil infestation.
The largest yield of cotton we ever
obtained here at the college on Cecil
clay land in a good state of fer
tility resulted from planting the
crop in four foot rows and leaving
two stalks eighten inches apart in
the drill. If there were no boll wee
vils in Georgia, this is the policy
we would continue to pursue here.
Now that the boll weevil has come,
however, the whole bent and purpose
of the cotton grower is naturally di
rected towards hastening the ma
turity of the crop. This can be
done by planting the cotton in nar
rower rows, say three and one-half
to four feet apart and leaving two
plants of cotton in the drill a hoe’s
«width. This is very much thicker
planting than we have been accus
tomed to follow. Naturally, there
are many more plants per acre and
they are much smaller in size.
Strange as it may seem, however,
who obtain a larger percentage of
bolls from this procedure because it
makes the struggle- for existence
more keen. Hence, the plants tend
to set on their fruit more abundant
ly and earlier than where they are
left at greater distances apart. Thus,
by the policy outlined, we are able
to hasten the maturity of the crop
to .a considerable degree. Every boll
that we can get two-thirds grown
early in the season is almost certain
to be safe from weevil damage.
Hence, the importance of planting
cotton-rioser'than in the old days.

T. J. L., Pleasant Hill, Ala.,

There is none of this variety

College No. 1 cotton seed may be
obtained from a good many growers
in Georgia. We have the Georgia
Plant Breeders’ association in this

of the producers of seed and the
purchasers thereof as well. It is our
'custom each year to send one of
our cotton experts into the fields of

College No. 1 cotton has been
grown for a number of years in
various parts of Georgia. It is more
extensively cultivated in northeast
Georgia than in any other part of
j the state. I know of one county

; lan ever-increasing number of our
i farmers are growing College No. 1

sire to secure standardized seed for

Cultivation of Broom Corn in
Georgia
1 W. 8., writes: Please give me
Information concerning the
growing of broom corp and Irish
potatoes in Georgia. Which are
the best varieties of these two
crops?
Broom corn can be grown with
considerable success in various parts
of Georgia. The yield varies consid
erably with the season. We had an
unusually dry summer, and the
yield of broom corn was therefore
. lower than it should have been, or
approximately 100 pounds per acre.
The quality of the brush -was very
. excellent, however, and compares
; favorably with that produced else
where. As a rule, broom corn sells
at a fairly good price. There are
enough local factories to consume a
. much larger amount of the brush
than is produced in our state. The
price varies from $250 to S4OO, de
pending on seasonal conditions, the
size of the crop, and, naturally, the
demand which follows.
In planting broom corn it is impor
tant to remember that the land
should be selected, with care and well
if any, money will be made out of
if any, money wall be mad eout of
> this crop on the basis of 100 pounds
per acre, but if the yield is double
. or treble that amount, a fairly good
profit will result to the landowner.
This can certainly be done as I have
learned from observation and expe
rience.
The Tennessee Evergreen Stand
ard broom corn seems to be the best
strain to cultivate in Georgia. The
crop is planted, fertilized and culti
vated much the same as corn.
’ You do not say whether you are
interested in growing spring or fall
crop Irish potatoes. Under good
management and in a season when
the rainfall is fairly well distrib-
> uted, two crops of Irish potatoes
. may be harvested in Georgia each
year. The first crop should be plant
ed anywhere from January 15 to
April 1, depending upon the location
and the elevation above sea level.
The second crop should be planted
from June 15 to August 1. The pota
toes should be planted in rows three
1 feet apart, and the sets should be
, placed twelve to eighteen inches
apart in the drill. Cover to a. depth
, of four to six inches. It will take
[ seven to ten bushels of potatoes to
plant an acre.
The best varieties for early spring
planting are the Early Rose, Bliss’
■ Triumph and Irish Cobbler. The
Lookout Mountain appears to be one
of the best strains to use for a fall
crop. Potatoes will mature in from
sixty to ninety days after planting.
It is important that only sound seed
be used, and that the crop is spray
ed to protect it- from damage by
blight and injury by the potato bug.
Irish potatoes in this state should
be liberally fertilized. A formula
containing 3 to 4 per cent of nitro
gen, 8 to 10 per cent of phosphoric
acid, and 5 to 6 per cent of potash
1 will be found the most satisfactory
for general use. One thousand
’ pounds of fertilizer should be used
per acre. The early planting of the
' spring crop cannot be emphasized
‘ too strongly.

- Controlling Tre<r Borers in Farm
> Orchards
, I. B. L., Turnerville, Ga.,
• writes: Please tell me the best
; way to control peach and apple
• tree borers.
s. The peach tree is very susceptible
to borers. The adults appear dur
ing August and September. Egg
laying soon takes place. When these
hatch, they develop into the borers
that are so commonly met with in
the. peach t ree.
Several ways of combatting this
: pest have, been followed in the past.
, j The newest and best method is to
use paradi-chlorobenzene. This is a
I j white, crystalline solid, which is not
I (soluble in water, but vaporizes read
ily at ordinary temperatures. Far
trees five years of age and older,
use one ounce per tree; for trees
two or three years of age, use one
; half ounce, and, for trees four to
; I five years of age, use, three-quarters
.jof an ounce. Break the soil around
• 1 the tree, and remove all grass and
weeds. After the soil has been
, smoothed out properly so that it
• covers the topmost borer tunnel,
you are ready to proceed with the
■ j treatment. The paradi-chloroben
, I zone should then be scattered in a
' circle around the tree at one-half
1 I inch from the trunk of the tree.
I This circle should be about one and
1 one-half inches wide. Cover with
1 several shovelfuls of earth which is
I free from stones, sticks and trash.
, I Pack this earth down around the
; base of the tree. The treatment is
[ best done in central Georgia be
; tween October 10th and 15th. In
t the northern and northwestern part
t of the state, between the Ist and

■ ! gla. between the 15th and 20th.

Dear Chidron:
This little verse was clipped and
sent to me by one of the cousins,
and it is a. mighty good thing to re
member, so 1 am quoting it for you. i
“We live, njost of us, in belief
' That if we were possessed of
wings
We’d fly away from toil and grief,
And all that work and worry
brings;
But If we were and if we flew
To those far fieds, no doubt we'd
find
More worry than we ever knew,
More trouble than we left be
hind.”
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
Pear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Although I
have never written before, I believe Aunt
Julia will let me in. We have been taking
The Journal for almost a year, and like it
just fine. I am a farmer’s wife, and think
there is no place like the farm. I surely
like to raise chickens. I have raised about
150 this year. Listen, cousins! I want to
ask a favor. Will some one who has the
books, “The Call of the Canyon” and the
“Light of the Western Stars,” please lend
them to me? I will pay the postage both
ways and return them in good condition,
and will return the favor in any way I can.
As Aunt Julia says be brief, I will describe
myself and go. 1 have dark brown hair and
eyes and medium complexion; my birthday
is November 18. Who is my twin? I would
be glad to hear from those who care to
write. (MRS.) MAUDE AKEAIAN.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
admit a Tennessee boy to your happy band
of cousins? I enjoy reading the letters so
much, but have hesitated about writing, as
I’m not a gifted writer like some of the
cousins; but if 1 could get, the whole bunch
of cousins together I would surely show
them 1 atn some sport. I would like to take
you all car riding, but guess I would have
to get a carload of tires before we got
through riding. 1 am a farmer, and like it
fine. Now, cousins, be quiet; I’m going to
describe myself, and hope you all don’t
come running, for I'm a little bashful and
might hike to the mountains. I am 5 feet 9
inches low, have gray eyes and chestnut,
sorrel hair; am eighteen years old the first
day of December. I believe in old time re
ligion. I hope this will escape the waste
basket. I would be glad to hear from the
cousins. I will answer all letters. Love

then went to business college. Right after
finishing business college I got a steno

like my work just fine. I have been here I
about four months now. I also took teach- ■

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
Don't Rush to Mother With Your
Matrimonial Woes, Young Brides,
Because I.ong After You Have
Forgotten Them She Will
Remember—and Blame Your
Husband
IF T were to give one piece of ad
vice more earnest than another
to a young bride, it would be
this: Don't tell you mother all of
your troubles. Don’t run to mother
with all your little
disappoint ments
and worries and
anxieties.
Thig will seem a
hard saying to both
the bride and the
mother, and they
will cry out that a
mother is a daugh
ter's natural confi
dante, the one per
son in the world to
whom she can al-
I ways go, secure of
(sympathy. But that
i is just the trouble.
■s&'
5 ( t because moth .
er always ready to pity, instead of
judge, that makes her the most
dangerous confidante that a young
wife can have, because it leads hei
into continually exaggerating every
pin prick of her new life into a
deadly wound.
No human man is the impossible
conglomeration of charms and vir
tues of a young girl’s imagination.
Nobody could be the combination of
Romeo and Mr. Rockefeller and Job,
and the latest jazz dancer, that ev
ery girl in love thinks that she is
marrying. Nor is matrimony merely
a state in which a girl is emanci
pated from the control of her elders,'
has the spending of her husbands
monev, wears beautiful negliges, and
is continually flattered and made
love to.
So, naturally, when the bride finds
out that she has married a very
human man, full of faults and weak
nesses, instead of a godling, and
when she ascertains that her hus
band is selfish and opinionated, and
has ways that irritate her, she is
bitterly disillusioned.
Also, she gets another shock when
she discovers that marriage calls
for perpetual self-sacrifice from a
woman, that there are quite a few
thorns among its roses, and that,
generally speaking, the holy estate
falls far short of what poets and
romancers have press-agented it to
be.
Follows a time of adjustment,
when the little bride is trying to
swallow her bitter pill of disillusion
without making too /nany faces over
it and attempting to fit her dream
to reality. They are not hannv days
for her. Her castle in Spain lies in
ruins about her. She is hurt, be
wildered, despairing.
Then it is that she longs to run
to mother and weep out her sorrows
on her breast. Then it is that she
vivisects her husband for mother's
benefit and turns the spotlight on
his every blemish. Then it is that
she makes husband’s hasty word
sound like a. premeditated insult,
when his careless act becomes a
crime, when a necessary economy
turns into miserliness.
The young wife who thrashes over
all of her husband’s shortcomings
with her mother doesn't really in
tend to do her husband an injus
tice or misrepresent him. But she
is angry with him, and still smart
ing from some domestic scrap, and
the temptation to tell it all to some
one who will “poor dear” her and
pity her and never even think of
looking at the other side of the case
is more than she can resist.
So every time that John complains
about the coffee or refuses to buy
Mabel a new car, or says he is too
tired to go out of.an evening, Mabel
chases over to mother's and cries
into her best handkerchief while she
tells mother all about it, and is com
miserated on how unreasonable John
is. Or else she writes mother a tear
stained letter in which she pours
out. her woes, and mother gels a pic
ture of John firmly fixed in her

mind as a close-fisted brute, who
takes a delight in torturing her angel
child.
And she hates John accordingly.
In the. meantime Mabel has forgot
ten all about her accusations against
John. She loves him and he loves
her, and in her heart she knows
that in their quarrels she is just
as much to blame as he is. So they
kiss and make up and all would be
well if only Mabel hadn’t told moth
er about it.
But the thought of Mabel's martyr
dom rankles in mother’s mind. She
magnifies John’s every weakness
into a terrible sin. She throws a
sinister light on his every shortcom
ing and she either reduces Mabel to
a pulp of self-pity by her sympathy,
or else eggs her on to getting a di
vorce.
Many a man who considers him
self a model husband, who adores
his wife, and spends his life to make
her happy to give her everything
she wants, and who has never sus
pected but that his wife is also hap
py and contented, wonders why his
mother-in-law dislikes him and looks
upon him with a suspicious eye.
The explanation would amaze him.
It is because every time he and his
wife have had a disagreement she
has told mother all about it while
she was still in a rage. She has let
her anger color her story and long
after she has forgotten all about rt
mother still remembers.
The woman who rushes to tell
mother every time she and her hus
band have a little spat justifies her
lack of loyalty by saying that she
has told nobody but mother. But
mother is not always discreet. In
fact, mother is so sloshing over with
sympathy for her poor, persecuted
child, that she is just bound to weep
over Mabel's sad fate with her
cronies. That is the way that, nine
times out of ten, the scandal gets
started about the John Jones’ fight
ing like dogs and cats, and Tom
Smith being a brute who actually
beats that poor, pretty, little wife of
his, or Simpson being so stingy that
his wife has to get every nickel out
of him with a corkscrew.
Therefore, I say, don’t tell your
troubles to mother, little bride. When
you and your hsuband have family
squabbles, referee your own fight
without calling mother in. And don’t
tell anybody, not even your mother,
about your husband's faults. That
is something you have learned in
confidence and that you are honor
bound not to reveal.
Don't tell your troubles to any
one, least of all to mother. The less
we tell, the less we have to be sorry
for - DOROTHY DIX.
