“THE TEARS AND THE VOTE”
Wou\an’s first vote in tne Ameri
can Congress weas bathed in tears.
And almost suggestive of a pecu
liar coincidence, or a decree of Fate,
it was cast upon the one issue most
near the material heart of woman:
The issue of war or peace!
Men furnish the money for war;
but women, the sons who do the
fighting and tne dying!
Naturally, then—quite naturally
—it i 8 the woman’s heart tnat
is touched closest by war,
And when Miss Rankin’'s name
was called in the house voting in
the small hours of Friday morning,
taoe “lady from Montana,” put to
the fire test of casting her maiden
vote in congress, arose in her place
andrsaid through sobs:
*“l1 want te stand by my country,
but I cannot vote for war”
Of course, Miss Rankin cried.
“"And why showldn't she nave done
s 0!
The fact that she shed tears when
sme cast her Pirst vote as the first
woman who ever sat in congress,
with the eyes of the whole house
and the whole republic upon aer,
at the end of an extraordinary long
and strenuous sitting, a nerve-rack
ing ordgal. and such a stupendous
question at issue-—the fact that she
wept does net prove her weak.
Indeed, the ordeal was enouga to
make a strong ma weep. It simp
ly proved her womaniy!
After all, behind those tears was
a woman's heart! )
Back of them was the sacred ma
ternal instinct; the womanly senti
ment; the inherent feminine love of
peace, tranqguility and the devotion
to the fireside.
Some good day, somewhere, some
how, the very seantiment back of
taose tegrs and which prompted
them is going te control the world !
And when it dees, there will be an
end to war; there will be no mors
bloodshed. on the battlefield: no
more calling of mothers’ sons to gni
down inte blcod-soaked trencnes.
and engage in the death grapple
with other mothers’ sons!
Unsortunately, up to this time
the world——civilization — has not ‘
reached that stage—but it is coming
amd the women are going to helpl
bring it about. ‘
The tears that moved Miss Ran- |
kin will some day move the womonl
of all the world—at a time whei
they will demand taat they be oon-l
sulted before tdieir “war lords’ tear
their sons frem their bosoms.
And whea that day comwes there

lmmox HALL WRITES ON
‘ THE FOOD SITUATION
| “Never before ia the lfetime uf
!the present generation has a more
serious situation confronted us taan
faces us now. It is the cuestion
of providing an ample food supply.
| The old, happy-go lucky, ait or
miss policy to which we have be.n
so long aaccustomed will not do
'now. We are entering a war with
!the greatest military nation in the
| world and the struggle may be long
and desperate.
The world’s supply of food is low
er tnan we have ever known it, ow
ing to bad crops and the wihdrawal
of millions of men from farm work
all over the world. ‘
' The food supply of a nation in
!war is as important as its munition
supply. The army of food produe
‘ern in‘the fields renders a service no
less valuable than the army of sol
diers in the trenches. And, as a
matter of plain common sense and
self protection, it is the manifest
duty of every individual to produce
his own food supply as nearly as
possible, The planting season is
here. The weather conditions have
been very unfavorable, and that is
all the more reason why adequate
steps should be taken when the op
portunity for farm. work does ar
rive,
| “Our farmers should provide for
an ample corn crop ang in ad
dition there should be an abundance
of cow peas grown. They are good
for the land and, notwithstanding
the prejudice against them, they
are one of the best balanced foods
known. We can live on peas if we
have it to do and we certainly ought
to have an ample supply of them at
home. Peas and beans combine the
qualities of beth bread and meat
and if we have them we will not
starve. Our land is well adapted
to peas and beans of all kinds. We
need all these things we can get
Therefore plant all the peas and
beans you can manage. Everyone
this year should not only have a
largd garden but should give special
attention to potatoe§—they are an
other wholesome food— sorghum
and anything else that can be used;
as a food. |

“The national government at
Washingvon' is urging city people
to utilize their lots and all availa
‘ble vacant ground for the growing
of food:crops.

[there should be a big increase in
our acreage and yieids per acre of
food crops,’ the statement says,
‘then the nation as a whole, ang
not the farmers as a class, showd

during the coming summer More
over, the average small farmer and
his family owe it to their country, |
as well as to themselves, to raise at |
least 100 cnickens, to Kkeep one cow
or more, at least enough hogs for
home consumption, and perhaps a
little bunch of shtlep. !
“*The cheapest, most profitable, |
dnd quickest known means of in-!
creasing general production is by
the use of lime. There are a fo\\'l
sections in tne United States with
out some lecal supply of limostm:e.!

mer in the country would apply
from®two to four tons.of crushed
limestcne per acre to all his sour
land, our 11at§onal supply of bread

ed by a surprising number of mil- |
lion bushels.’ ‘
“A high official, experienced in |
the distribution of food supplies in |
tne warring countries inm Em‘opei
says: f
“*‘The first and necessary thiu,s:!
iss to plant potatoes, turmips, carrntsz

European wapr saould end this year.
It is absolutely certain that this
country cannot stand a reducticn in
crops so enormous as was the short
age last year, without serious re
sults in the way of high prices. We
will go into the new crop year prac
tically bare of food stuffs, as com
pared with the surplus/ which we
have through all the past carried
from one year into the next. It
’would therefore take exceptionally
’big crops of grain and potatoes and
vegetables generally to fill up the
vacuum which pas been created, in
order to bring about normal food
conditions. llf, through unfortun
ate weather conditions, or through
failure to plant a large acreage, we
‘should have another snort crop year
in 1917, we would face what might
practically be called famine eondi
tions of food. It is absolutely es
sential to the nation’s welfare that
these facts should be emphasized
and reiterated so that the people
may understand the causes whicn
are affecting prices and the neeessi
ty of raising larger supplies.””
—J. A. HALL, in DeKalb New Era.
Athens, Ga., Aptil 6, 1917,
To the People of Georgia:
Now, that we as a natiop are
pledged to wage war against the Ger
man Empire to a victoylous\ conclu
sion, it is well that wé look to our
agricultural resources. As ene in
terested in Poultry Husbandry, I de
sire to urge that every Georgian
aid in supplying the poultry pro
ducts needed by our country.
Poultrymen, farmers and people
dwelling in the city where space is
available cannot show their pa
triotism in any better way than by
increasing the food supply of the
country, especially of eggs and
poultry products.
With our War Department mak
ing plans for putting 3,000,000 men
in the ficld and our navy brought
to full war strength, together with
our pledge to help the supporting
of the armies and navies of France,
England, Russia, and Italy; the
need of a greatly increased produc
tion of poultry and eggs in Georgia
and the Sout), is apparent.
To the recuperating soldier in
the hospitals at the front, an egg
of good quality forms one of the
things most needed to aid him in
recgvering nis health and strength.
The poultry World (England) for
,January 12th says:
“A minimum of 250,000 eggs a
iweek are needed for the Base Hos-
Tpitals in France. The men out
there are largely dependent upon
'an egg and milk diet. They must
‘have a good supply of new-laid
‘eggs. It is the bounden duty of ev
ery man and woman in tais country
to see that a good supply of éggs
reaches each man.”
This illustrates only a small pro
portion of our neéds. We must not
only aid our friends in France but
we must also prepare to provide for
our own 'wounded. Georgia’s task,
hawever, must be even greater. At
the present time the large cities of
this state receive 50 per cent of tae
eggs tiey use from the states to the
north and west of us. During the
winter months as higg as 90 per
cent of the eggs used by the largest
cities of Georgia are produced out
side of the gstate. In order not to
be a drain upon the pest 6f the na
tion during the present crisis, we
must double our egg production in
tais state. But if we desire to pro
vide our soldiers with our propor
tion of egzs and poultry, we must
do even better than that. -
Due to the higa prices of food
stuffs and the high prices that
could be obtained for poultry dur
ing tihe last winter: large numbers
of chickens have been sold off and
we nave a coasiderable shortage o:
poultry. This will result in cven
greater scarcity and higher pricss
during the next vear,
Every back lot can be made to
produce eggs or vegetables or both.
Every farm in Georgia can care for
twice as many chickens as are on
them at the present time. It i
already late to seot e2g3 to preduce
layers for the next fall. Only two
weeks remain before it will be too
late to set eggs and have them hateh
belore tie warmest weatner that is
so hard on the baby chicks. Our
duty in this respect is plain and
quick respense is necessary.

STATE BOARD OF ENTOMOLOGY
~ TELLS ABOUT PEACH SPRAYING
Atlanta, Ga., March.—(Special,)—
Peach growers throughout Georgia are
urged by the State Department of En
tomology to make immediaje prepara
tion for their summer sSpraying
against curculio, brown rot and scab.
The department has prepared the
following summer spray schedule
which, if carefully carried out, with the
right mixtures, and the right kind of
spraying “machimery, will afford a
practical and sure control against
these three enemies of the , Georgia
peach: .
The first spraying, which is for cur
culio, should be done just as the
shucks are shedding. TUse 8% of a
pound of powdered arsenate of lead,
or 1% pounds of paste, in a milk-of
lime solution made with 50 gallons
of water and three pounds of lump
lime. Use a wide-angle nozzle throw
ing a fine mist, and cover both fo
liage and fruit lightly but thoroughly.
Do not drenck the trees,
The second spraying, whieh is for
brown rot, curculto and scab, should
ocecur four weeks after the petals drop,
which is usually about three weeks
after the first spraying. Use self
cooked lime sulphur and powdered ar
senate of lead 8-%-50; or use atomic
sulphur according to thne directions
Oon container. If paste lead is used,
the amount should be one pound.
Spray lightly but thoroughly so that
the peaches will be pebbled on all
sides with the spray. Use the same
wide-angle nozzle as for the first. If
you do not know how to make sel
cooked lime sulphur, the Department
of Entomology will furnish free di
rections on request.
The Third Spraying
The third summer spraying, against |
curculio, brown rot and scab, should
be._done onea}ncnth before the ripen-]
ing period, ‘and the same materiaisl
and formula should be used as for|
the second summer spraying. But this!
time the dise opening of the nozzles
should be larger, so as to give a|
coarser spray and a heavier coating‘
to the fruit. ‘
It is extremely important to use the |
right type of nozzle in this summer
spraying, as results are greatly influ
enced by this factor.
The schedule given above is for ali
varieties of peaches ripenine in mid
season. Early maturing varietiesi
should receive only two sprayings, and |
fall-ripening varieties four, i
This is a complete sehedule of the |
spraying still mecessary for the 1917]
peach crop, as it is_assumed that the |
winter spraying for Sam Jose scale |
has already been done. l

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 7, 1917,
well known to Georgia peach growers,
as to require little description. *
The curculio is a beetle, the larva
of which is nothing more nor less than
the familiar white worm that you
sometimes bite into when eating
peaches. It is the greatest insect
enemy of the peach.
' Brown rot is a fungus disease, whichk
attacks blossoms, twigs and fruit, and
which was a destructive and baffling
malady until the proper spraying con
trol was discovered.
Peach scab is a very common dis
ease, particularly in late maturing va
rieties. It is also caused by a fungus,
growing in the skin ef the fruit, and
appearing in small rcund, smoky
brown or black spots. It also attacks
the twigs.
Spraying Must Be Thorough
While spraying, when efficiently
done, is a sure-and practical control
of thgse three pests, it is important
that the spraying be thorough, and ac
cording to directions. Adequate spray
ing machinery, to suit the size and
conditions of your orchards, is a ne
cessity. The State Department of En
tomology will furmish a bulletin on
request giving specifie infermation as
to just what machinery you need and
how to procure it. This bulletin by
Assistant Entemologist W. W. Chase,
also goes into detail as to treatment
against all Peaeh inseets and dis
| eases. |
If you have any trouble with terra
pin or “turtle back” scale, an insect
scale that has to be reckoned with in|
some localities of the state, some sol-|
üble oil like Scalecide should be ap
plied in the spring just before the buds l
open, in a solution of 1 to 15. |
Remedy for the Borer
~ But there is one arch-pest of the‘
peach tree that spraying cannot reach,
and that has to be eombatted by an
other method. It is 'the peach tree
borer which ig the greatest €ause, di
rectly or indirectly, f mortality among
peach trees. As soon as growers fully
understand and apply the proper meth
ods of control, the peach tree borer,
however, will cease to be the menace
that it is today, for there is an ef
fective method, namely, mounding and
worming at the right time.
While the adult msect is a moth,
the thing which canses the trouble is
the larva or worm. It has eight pairs
of legs, a body sometimes an inch
long, white or muddy-white in color,
and is armed with a pair of pewerful
jaws. It feeds on the bark and sap
wood of the tree,
Washing the trunx, wrapping with
paper, exposing the roots have all fail
ed. The trees shovN be mounded late
in July to a height of ahout 10 inches,
and the latter part of October thel
mounds removed and the trees scraped
with worming hooks, threwing the |
gum and dead bark several feet from |
tiie tree. Most of the larvae are on
the outside at this time and can be
removed by scraping. If worming is
too long delayed, it becomes necessary

wWOorms.
