A well-known physician says
that he would rather look ata
patient’s garden than to feel his
pulse or look at his tongue., The
garden will often tell him more
about the health of a family than
anything else. The family that
has a good garden will most
likely be enjoying good health. i
“Every time a Southern farm:
er plants nothing on his farm but
cotton year after year, and the
Northeruner nothing but wheat or
corn, why take a hammer and
hit him twice right between the
_ eyes, You may dent your ham
mer——but it will do more good
than all the Farm Relief bills you
canupassinayear.'—Will Rogers
A CALAMITY CRY
In a recent sermon, a New
Jersey pastor made a statement
that sounds quite famihar, as
follows:
“There is lawlessness every
where. Children no longer obey
their parents. It is eyident that
the end of the age is at hand.”
Then the pastor told his con
gregation that the words were
not original with him, not even
an utterance of the present day.
They were translated from an
inscription on a brick found in
the ruins of ancient Assyria,
dating centuries before the time
of the patriarch Abraham.
Records which have been pre
served during all periods of re
corded history give evidence of
~ similar conditions existing in the
« world, Sometimes an improve
ment is noted; again lawlessness
. and violence become more pre
valent than ever,
While present day conditions
are bad enough, it seems that on
the whole they are better than in
the past. 'There is more thought
. given to the relief of suffering, to
. the betterment of industrial con
ditions, to mutual helpfulness
and like matters of benefit to
"humanity than in former times.
' Althongh the world war gave
civilization a severe set back in
some respects, we must remem
ber that war has marked the
history of every generation of
mankind. The same is true of
lawlessness, oppression and ev
ery other manifestation of im
morality.
+ These will always exist in
greater or less degree, so long
&8 good and eyil struggle for
mastery in the hearts and minds
of men, '
~ SECTIONS WHERE
, SAVINGS DECREASED
A reglonal analysis of the drop In
the nation's savings deposits in banks,
. a8 recently reported by the American
‘Bankers Association’s Savings Bank.
" Dlvision in {ts annual compilation for
1929 showing the first recession lo
national savings in the twenty years
during which it has published this
data, reveals that all sections except
the New England and the Pacific
States groups recorded losses.
The published figures showed that
on June 29, 1920, the total savings de
posits in banks and trust compaunles of
continental United States stood at S2B,
217,656,000, which was $185,805,000 be-
Jow the similar total for 1828, when
there was an increase of §2,300,000,000.
The regional analysis by state
groups discloses, however, that the six
New England states as a group geined
more than $88,800,000 in savings and
152,984 in savings depositors, while
the seven Pacific states as a group
gained over $79,000,000 in deposits
and nearly 278,000 in number of depos- |
ftors. The gains in these two sec
tlons, however, were smaller than the
gaing recorded there for 1928, The
sections which showed losses are the
Middle Atlantic States, Southern
States, East Central States and the
West Central States.

l GOOD FARM PRACTICES
REDUCE WEEVIL LOSS
: Close spacing of cotton combined
with the judicious use of fertilizer is
'; helping thousands of farmers to out
| smart the boli weevil. These two
practices make it possible to hurry
the development of a large number
of boils 80 that they are out of dan
| ger when the weevil bogins to do its
worst damage.
. Where weevil infestation is heayy
it is always difficult to mature the
bolls on the upper half of the stalks
.| Experiments have shown,: however,
| that a full crop of cotton may still
.| be grown by spacing the stalks closer
and by leaving two stalks per hill in
stead of one,
- An abundance of plant food is
necessary to form and develop the
| bolls on the two stalks in half the
| time as was formerly required to ma
ture the same number of bolls on one
| stalk, The hest way to supply this
| food is to side'dress with quick-acting
| nitrogen fertilizer at the first or sec
ond cultivation after chopping. The
| extra plant food speeds up the forma
.| tion of squares and the development
: of holls before the heavy weevil at
tack begins. Although the weevil will
likely destroy the bollg at the top of
the stalk the large bolls at the bot
tom, set early in the season, are safe
ly out of danger,
| The side-dressing is applied 85 to
40 days after planting or at about
chopping time, The common applica
tion 1s 100 to 200 pounds of Chilean
nitrate of soda per acre. The nitrate
dissolves in the soll just like sugar
and is absorbed at once through the
roots of the plaut,
Dixi¢’s Corn Yields
Rival Nation’s Best
The Corn Belt, long famed for
its economical corn production, is |
in danger of losing some of its |
laurels. ,
For instance, a Dixie farmer, |
W. Y. Thrash, of Walnut Grove,
Migs.,, might well contest the honor
of producing the highest yield of
corn during 1920, In an official
contest his average yleld on a 3-
acre fleld was 180.62 bushels of
shelled corn an acre, In making
this exceptional record, Thrash
made liberal use of fertilizers,
He side-dressed twice with Chilean
nitrate of soda during the season,
asing 200 pounds an acre at each
application,
A striking illusiration in eco- |
nomic crop production was fur- |
nished by another southern grow- }
er, Paul Simmons, 18-year-old boy |
of Plant City, #la, who won the i
4I Club corn contest of that
state. He produced corn at a net
cost of 18 cents a bushel. His yield
on a one-acre plot was 111 bushels,
The only fertilizer young Simmons
used was 200 pounds of Chilean
nitrate, which was applied as a
side-dressing when the corn was
knee-high,

\
Noted Planter Tells How
He Side-Dresses Cottoni
i
Every acre of cotton from East|
Texas to the Carolinas which did not |
receive 200 to 400 pounds of nitrogen
fertilizer at planting will make a
larger yield if it is side-dressed during |
the early growing season, says B. L. f

Side-dressing cotton on Moss farm, Soso,
Miss.
On his own farm, where as many
as 750 acres are planted in Cotton,
Moss side-dresses with 200 pounds of
Chilean nitrate of soda, in addition
‘to using ahout 100 pounds at planting
time.
“The safest rule to follow in side
dressing,” declares Mr. Moss, “is to
make the application any time alter
the cotton is chopped out and put in
a cloan state ot cultivation, but not
later than the time the first blooms
appear.”
He scatters the material in a shal
Jow furrow aiongside the coiton row,
on one side only, and lightly covers
it by running a broad-sweep or heel
sweep once.to each middle. The ap
plication is made by hand, and the
nitrate dropped from 2 to 6 inches
away from the plants. Fellowing this
system one man can side-dress about
8 acres a day.

Many a Cook’s Renown
Rests Upon Her Sauces
By JOBAPHINE B. GIBSON
Director, Home Hcenomics Dept.,
H, J. Heinz Company.
MUCH of ths French cook's
reputation for excellent food
has been gained chrough the use
of skilfully blewded sauces, And
Americanl women are coming to
learn that the <uccess of almost
any dish—whneher it be meat,
fish, entree or desscrt—depends
greatly upon its accompanying
condiment.
Sauces which lend this delight
ful piquancy to food may be
divided, roughly, into two general
groups: Those which we serve
with meat, fish, vegetable and ezg

dishes; and those specially suited
for puddings and desserts. |
In baking meats, many women
use the famous Barbecue Sauce
to lend a delightful flavor. The
recipe given for this below is for
a quantity sufficient to prepare a
large roast for picnic or church
supper use. The sauce, however,
may be safely kept in the family
ice-box for several weeks if care
is taken to keep the container |
elosely covered.,
Hollandaise Sauce is another'
great favorite for caulifiower, as
paragus, fish and other dishes.
Since many women find this sauce
extremely difficult to make, how.
ever, the recipe for Mock Hol
landaise—~which scarcely can bhe
distinguished from the regular
sauce—should be welcomed.
It you will clip out the following
recipes for sauces and put them!
