Mrs. E. H. Patterson presented the idea
of having cooking and domestic sciences
taught in the rural public schools as we'll
as the city ones. Miss Jacobs, Director
of the Department of Cooking in the
Washington schools, has been going out
to College Park school, where they have
one teacher and seven grades, one after
noon in the week. with such materials as
she can carry in hand bag, to show the
children the "why and wherefore" of
various domestic matters, and there is no
reason why one teacher could not go from
school to school in a county, at very little
additional burden upon the school system,
but with the ultimate result of greatly i'm
proving the conditions and comforts in
many homes.
Director Patterson read a very interest
ing and valuable paper on "What the

Brother E. P. B. Margerm read a paper
showing the feasibility of Postal Savings
Banks where they have been started and
he was asked to tell at the next meeting
what necessity there is for them among
farmers and why we should favor their
establishment.
WOrthy Lecturer Taliaferro was asked
why he selected some ears of corn for
seed out Of Brother Maloney's crib, and
said because the grains were long, wedge
shaped and much more compact on the
cob than the round grains of another ear
apparently the same size and weighed 3
ounces more. He wants grains that show

Condition Of Crops.

The Weather Bureau Taesd ~ issued
the following weekly summary of crop
conditions:
"The Ohio Valley, Middle Atlantic and
Southern States have experienced an
other cool week. and while the tempera-
ture has been above the seasonal average
in the more northery districts, the re-
port generally indicates the need of
warmth. In the Lower Missouri, Central
Mississippi, and Ohio valleys, and Allan
tic coast districts, including the northern
portion of the East Gulf States, rains
would be of much benefit. Rains
would also be in the Rocky
Mountain and Pacific Coast districts
Much needed and abundant rains have
fallen in the West Gulf States and
Florida. La Oklahoma, Kansas. Nebraska,
Iowa, the Dakotas, Minnesota and
Wisconsin the conditions have been
generally favorable.
Corn planting continues very late,
but is now in general progress through
the central valleys, and has begun in the
extreme northern districts This work
has been carried on under much difficulty
in the Lower Missouri, Central Mississippi,
and Ohio valleys, and portions of the
Middle Atlantic States, owing to hard
and cloGdy ground. termination and
growth have been very slow in all dis
tricts; in the West Gulf States, however,
the crop has made satisfactory progress.

Look Out For Melon Plant Louise.

We have received the following cir
cular from Mr.. Thomas B. Symons, act
ing State Entomologist.
From the fact that the melon growers
of the state have suffered immensely in
the past from the attacks of the melon
plant louise, as in many instances the mel
on crop has been reduced one-half to
two-thirds in quantity, besides being
greatly impaired in quality, we particular
ly advise them to he on the watch this
spring and summer for the first appear
ance of the insects in their patches. The
eggs that were deposited late last fall on
weeds and other plants that will afford
nourishment in the early spring will
hatch with the return of the warm days,
the young developing into adult winged
viviperous females. By means of these
winged forms the species is transferred
from the weed patches and other situa-
tions to the melon fields, where their off
spring, like their winged mother, con-
tinue to multiply rapidly by bringing
forth their young alive. In the mean
time the winged insect has left for other
parts of the patch to start more colo
MES.
"Since these melon aphids feed upon
a large variety of plants, including many
of our common weeds, in addition to
cucubitious vines, clean cultivation will
do much to lessen their chances Of rapid
development in the early spring.
''As soon as the young vines get four
to six leaves til should be carefully and
frequently examined for the lice, and at
the first appearance of the winged females
they should be fumigated with carbon
bisulpbide This is accomplished by
covering the young vines with tight boxes
or other covers, ~ or eighteen inches in
diameter, the same in length, and intro
ducing under each box vessel contain
ing one or more teaspoonfuls of carbon
bisulphide. One teaspoonful should be
be allowed for every cubic foot of space
under the cover, and this will easily kill
all the plant lice in three quarters of an
hour, though it will do no harm to leave
the cover in place for an hour. A cheap
tin cup, clamshell or other open dish
will answer to hold the carbon bisulphide.
This chemical is a colorless volatile liquid
with disagreeable odor. Its vapor is
heavy and about as inflammable as gaso-
line, spark from cigar or pipe being
sufficient to ignite it. The vapor is also
very poisonous to all animal life, but no
one need fear inhaling small quantities of
it in the open air.
kerosene emulsion at the rate of Is
per cent. may be applied to the vines in
the form of spray against the melon
aphis, but it must be remembered that
the solution must hit all the plant lice in
order to kill them. Any further informa-
ton in regard to treatment for this or
any other insect pest or plant disease will
be gladly given by the state horticultural
department, College Park, Md"

THE BOOKER WASHINGTON FAD.

Senator Ben Tillman OF South Caro-
lima evidently has no sympathy what
ever with the Booker Washington fad.
In a lecture at Macon few nights ago
the able and versatile South Carroll
pian said that Washington's idea offers
no solution of the race problem, and
that it's principal consequence is to
turn out hordes of skilled negro work
men TO compete with southern white
men. Continuing, the senator said
that, education or no education,
whenever the negro came in contact
with the white man on an equality
there would ultimately be an appeal
10 the shot gun.
And Senator Tillman is eminently
correct. Washington did al unwise
thing when he chummed with our re
doubtable president. He not only sub
iected both Mr.. Roosevelt and him
self TO severe and we'll deserved crlu'
cism, but he placed dangerous idea
off social equality in the craniums
his race. The spectacle Of Booker
dining asa guest of honor at the table o.
the president of the republic is i'll cal
cuiated to decrease the Inherent ego
t.sm,and imDudence of many OF his race
who have a smattering of education.
From every viewpoint Senator TIL
man is unquestionably right in his
views and expressions. Booker Wash
lugton, the Booker Washington fad,
and the negro laborer are all right in
their proper places; out OF it they JUS
tify the senator's Impotence aud as

Georgia Taking Its Proper Place as Fruit

State EntomolOgist Scott has given
out some very interesting data con
corning fruit growing as an occupa-
ton in Georgia.
Entomologist Scott states that al
present large number of peach trees
are being set out all over the state and
large orchards are being laid OF on
ground formerly planted in cotton.
In Crawford county 10000 young
peach trees have been received ana
planted this fall, in Jones county l0,OOO
and an equal number in Habersham
and Ebert counties.
Mr.. Scott says that while fruit
growing is comparatively new vent
ure in Georgia it is rapidly growing 10
popular favor.
Last year there we're shipped from
Georgia 1,7G0 cars. which represents
IS. 600 crates of peaches, and II the

DAwsoS,s PROSPERITY DURING 1902

A careful retrospect of 1902 will be
satisfactory and pleasing to every Daw'
sonian who has the interest OF the city
at heart-and there are none who have
not.
Dawson has grown in size, popula
tion, prosperity, wealth, enterprise
and consequent prestige, power and
popularity.
One proof of this which, after all,
tells the whole story, is that it is i'm
possible at this time to secure such
a thing as desirable residence with
in the corporate limits, and this condl
ton of affairs has practically prevail
ed for months and months past
New enterprises have been estao-
lished, old ones remodeIed and enlarg-
ed. new business blocks erected ana
occupied, new banking institutions
placed in operation, many handsome
homes built and other improvements
made.
Dawson's scitizenry is composed OF
thatclass of people who make for them
selves and their town peace and pros
perity-business men whose reputa-
tion has gone abroad and carried the
citv's with it. AS a result, Dawson is
known and esteemed throughout the
state and beyond its borders.
Nor are things at a standstill. The
same relentless pride and enterprise
is still here, and will be. Dawson's
growth is to be thing OF certainly
and continuous one.

WHAT ARE WE COMING TO:

Miss Alice Roosevelt, the daughter
of the president, in issuing invitations
to her New Years reception included
among her guests young lady VINO
was herself to be hostess at an enter
tainment on the same night. Natural
ly desiring TO be present at her own
home, she wished TO decline the white
house invitation, but was not allowed
to do so by her mother, who evidently
considered it would be unpardonable
lese majestic to forego the Roosevelt
honors. So the young lady attended,
urwillingly, forced to do 80 by moth
err whose taste, under the circum-
stances, might we'll be termed mon
archisl.
The false zeal and unhesitating am
bitlou of the mother seems strange to
us of free, liberty loving country,
where there is no royalty and democra

evidently knows little and cares les'
of the very groundwork of our system
of government, which is personal lib
erty and that all men are born free ant
equal.
The News extends it's hand for girl

democratic spirit and Independent
mind. and hopes that but few NOR,
strenuous ambitions like her mother
will come into evidence.
