Atlanta, May 1S.-An appeal, ad-

out the United States, has been issued
in behalf of the Negro Young Peoples
Christian and Educational Congress by
Prof. 1. Garland Penn. corresponding
secretary of the movement
The congress will be held in this city
Aug. to II, when 10000 delegates and
visitors are expected to be in attend

80 large a gathering of the repre-
sentative element of our race should
mean great results for our future, and
for that reason the movement will need
divine guidance. To this end the fourth
Sunday in May has been designated
as day of prayer, and when our min
listers of the Gospel are requested to
preach on the care of our young peo-
pie. The SundAy-sehools and various
church societies are also asked to OBJ
serve the day with prayer and suppl

"All who are interested in the work
are requested to contribute 81 toward
the expenses of the congress. These

Shedding Corn Fodder.

The practice of shredding fodder has
1901 than ever before. The question
whether or not the increased value of
the fodder due to the shredding would
compensate for the extra expense in
Cured in the process has been an
swered in favor of using the shredder
says the Farmers Review. The test
has been applied eXperimentally in
many feed barns; a satisfactory con-
clusion has not been reached in all
cases. Every one is of the opinion that
too much of the stalk is left as refuse
and must go for bedding 1t is true
this refuse is a good absorbent to place
under the animals but is it not too
valuable to be used for that purpose?
The chemists tell us that about one
third of the food constituents of a stalk
of corn is in that portion from the ear
to the ground that in the natural
state the palatable portion-the blades,
husks, etc.-contains a rather small
amount of the total food value of the
fodder, and that by mechanical means
the portion which in it's natural state
is distasteful to the animal can be
made into a palatable food, which is
valuable and worth saving. The
blades, husks, etc, do not need to be
shredded. Then THE efficiency of the
shredder depends upon its ability to re-
duce the stalk to fineness, while the
ears are freed from the husk without
the corn being shelled from them.
The shredder is certainly in the line
of progress, but it needs further i'm
provement. 1t should be made to cut
finer and shorter pieces. The shred
ding knives should be such that the
fodder in passing through them should
be torn into fine Sits having the APP
pearance of hay. Then with a cutting
knife behind to receive this hay-like
mass the shredded fodder in the NOV
has more the appearance of cut hay.
The great armful of short stalks from
four to ten inches long could, by the
process described, be converted into
eastable material. At present after al
most every feed. the managers must be
cleared of refuse material, which
amounts to enough to bed the animals
we'll. This is too much refuse because
of coarse material that could be pre-
vented.
Shedding fodder has many advan-
tages aside from reducing the tough,
fibrous stalk to a more nutritious and
palatable food 1t enables the farmer
to shelter his food early, thus prevent
ing waste through exposure. 1t makes
the handling of fodder when disagree
ably damp and wet no longer neces-
sary. thus lessening the dangerous at
tacks of grip" and pneumonia. The
great loss to time due to handling ma
nure containing long stalks is also pre-
vented.
1t is not the feeders province to
recommend. to advocate Improvement
rather than condemn or discard be-
cause the work is not wholly satisfac-
tory? The shredder is educating the
people to see the need of saving the by
products of the farm. 1t is converting
urpalatahle material into a condition
fit for animal food. Let every farmer
encourage the movement and by pat
roniZing the shredder induce would-be
purchasers to invest more capital in Il
machine that will better perform it's
work of giving a greater quantity of
valuable food from the fodder of the
corn plant.-W. 3. Anderson.

ready become so small that it cannot
be reduced without injuring other agri-
cultural interests. Comparison shows
that other countries have no more for

Crops of all kinds are suffering greatly.
Vegetables will be almost a complete

well, but the crop will be late. Straw
berry season is over. and the growers
have not made much The weather
conditions were not favorable. The
acreage in cotton is less than last year,
farmers painting more velvet beans

the advice given by the Morning News
and raise more of these crops and fat

The orange groves are in good con-

E. Cochran of Waycross spoke here
Saturday at l o'clock in the interest
of Col. J. H. Estill and made a good
impression on those who heard him,
though the crowd was not large, owing
to the fact that it was a busy day
with the farmers and many did not
know that he was to speak. During
the few moments time that he had
he touched briefly upon the life and
character of Col Estill, speaking of
him as a self-made man, a soldier, a
philanthropist, a successful business
man and a true Democrat of unswerv-
ing principles. He showed clearly that
Col Estill was well qualified in every
way to make a good Governor and
urged that the people of South Geor-
gia stand solidly by him and show that
they were in earnest about wanting to
furnish the next governor. Col. Estill
has many supporters in this county
and is growing stronger each day as
the campaign progresses.

In all parts of this country the farm
er has to maintain an unceasing war
fare against insect enemies. In some
varieties Florida is more troubled than
the states further north; in others,
less, says the Florida Agriculturist.
Grain in Florida is more subject to in
sect attack than in the colder states,
that is, in the granary but in the field
there are probably not so many insects
threatening the plants.
There are some discouragements to
new Corners in the multitude of cut
worms that attack the plants in the
wiregrass sod, all the white grubs of
the hammocks and reclaimed swamps,
and in the weevil that destroy the
corn, the cowpeas and other seeds III
the granary. But experience and mod
ern science have discovered ways of
protection so that the farmer now
adays can claim and defend his own.
The green worms on cabbages are a
great source of trouble sometimes.
Paris green is a perfect protection
against these, as has been demonstrate
ed at the Florida Experiment Station,
where Director DePass himself, to
prove its harmlessness, ate freely of
the cabbage busted with the green, for
several weeks extending into July,
=
a person has fears on this score, he can
generally accomplish the purpose by
busting freely with air-slaked lime. 1t
is said to benefit the cabbage itself, be-
sides killing all OF the worms, even
those webbed up. 1t has tendency to
cause the cabbage to head better. Two
applications are generally sufficient
For Strawberries suffering from cut
worms, try Paris green sprinkled on
lightly two or three times, just before
a rain if possible. The rain will wash
it OFF completely and it would take, a
bushel of berries, under ordinary con-
ditions to retain enough of the poison
to do any injury. Strawberries will
soon be out of season-the shipping
season is done alrcady-but it will pay
to kill off the worms two or three
times thoroughly to prevent the pro-
pagation of the species another year.
1t is best never to plant a virgin
wiregrass sod in any crop which is
delicate and easily ravaged by cut
worms. The land should be cultivated
a few years in robust crops which are
proof against insects, such as cowpeas
and velvet beans; by this time the
eggs of the cutworm and the white
grub are measurably destroyed.
Paris green works like magic as a
protection against IA bbits where they
are eating cabbage. beans, eac. Sprin-

The old fashioned way of protecting
corn against weevil-used by careful
farmers before the introduction of BIZ
sulphide of carbon-was effectual when
properly carried out. The corn was
pulled from the stalks and thrown in
