ANSWER by Prof. W. f. Massey

My advice is to let the suckers
alone. 1t will do no more harm
to the plauts to let them grow
than to pull them off. | tested
this matter years ago and found
that It was labor worse than
wasted to pull off the suckers.
Last summer at one of the
Mecklenburg institutes a young
man asked me the same ques-
ton and replied as | have
here. At the next institute he
brought out two stalks of corn.
Each stalk had two suckers and
each sucker had two ears of corn
and the main stalk had two ears

The rot In tomatoes can be
prevented by spraying the plants
with Bordeaux mixture. But
the spraying should begin be-
fore there are any signs of rot.
Spray the plants at once and
then repeat it once week un-

Facts on Which the Campaign for

necessary to those who have the
pest to contend with in order that
they may wage their battle more
intelligently and at the same
time secure better and greater
results. A knowledge of the
manner in which the tick propa-
gates can not fail to be Of value
IN the war of determination now
being carried on against it in the
South.
Only part of the development
of the tick takes place on the
host (animal), while the remain
der occurs in the pasture. The
female tick, which is attached to
the skin of the host, increases
enormously in size as a result the
drawing of liberal quantities of
blood, and when fully engorged
drops to the ground, where she at
once begins to search for suita-
bic hiding place that will serve
as protection from the sun and
enemies. The female ticks may
be devoured by birds, destroyed
by ants, or may perish as the result
of unfavorable conditions such
as, for example, low temperature,
lack of moisture, etc, go that
many may be destroyed without
having laid any eggs.
Egg laying begins during the
spring, summer, and fall months
in 2 to 20 days and during the win.
ter months in 13 to 9S days. The
eggs are small, elliptical-sh aped
bodies, of a light amber color
] that later changes to dark brow n,
one-tiftieth of an inch in length,
coated with sticky secretion
that causes them to adhere In
clusters and keeps them from
drying out. During egg laying
the tick gradually shrinks to
about one-third or one fourth her
former size. The egg-laying pc
riod continues for from 4 days in
the summer to Isl days beginning
in the fall, and during this period
from several hundred to 5000
eggs may be deposited. The
mother tick then dies within a
few days.
In from ID days I'm summer)
to lSS days (in fall or winter
after the eggs have been deposit
ed they begin to hatch. From
each one issues a small, oval, six
legged seed tick, at first amber
colored, later changing to a rich
brown. After era Wing slowly
about the she'll it usually remains
quiescent for several days; then
it displays great activity, espec

Since each female lays her eggs
at one spot. thousands OF newly
hatchel ticks or larvae will ap.
pear at the same place and later
VIII ascend nearby grass stems
and collect on the blades. This
accounts for the brown masses of
larvae observed clinging to vege-
tatiOn IN pastures or fence posts.
This upward instinct of the ticks
increases their chances of reach
ing a host, for when the vegeta.
ton is disturbed they become
very active, extending their long
legs violently upward in an at
tempt TO seize hold of a host.

One of the very best ways i u
which our Union people can get
into a position to profit by the
Union enterprises and plans is to
plant peas. There are few, if
any, OF our Southern people who
have any conception of the eco-
nomic Importance of The cowpea.
AS ga prophet is not without
honor save in his own country :"
so the cOwpea is not sufficiently
appreciated in its own home.
Our Northern brethren who live
where the pea will not mature
seed are as rule more apprecia
tive of this plant than our own
home folks. Fervld oratory lauds
the "God given monopoly" of
cotton, but is usually silent re-
garding that other monopoly of
cowpeas.
Plant peas on every possible
occasion. Ii you have a poor
stand OF cotton replant it with
whippoorwill peas. 1t will not
hurt the cotton, will give you a
paying crop which can be gath.
cred before the cotton opens, and
will benefit your land more than
an application of commercial fer
tilizer in the usual dose. When
you lay by corn plant a row or
two of peas 10 each middle. They
will mature seed unless your crop
is very late. Peas planted in
North Georgia July 10Th last
year matured good crop. and
often mature crop planted much
later. Varieties lite the whip
poorwill mature rapidly as the
season advances. 1t is possible
to plant this variety early, ma
ture seed and plant another crop
with this seed in one year.
Above all sow peas. Ghous-
ands of alleged farmers in Geor.
gia pay $4,000 to $25 90 per ton
for a mixture of foxtail grass ard
Timothy when they can grow
pea hay for less than $500 per
ton. The ton Of Pea hay for farm
stock has twice the feeding value
of low grade Timothy. A bush
ell of cowpeas sown on an acre
0: land will add more nitrogen
to the soil than is contained in
ton of 1922 fertilizer, beside
adding humus to the soil. The
resulting hay if properly cared
for will keep mules fat through
the winter months without any
corn being fed and the manure
by these mules will be Of about
twice the value of that obtained
from "corn and fodder"
If by chance you have more
forage than you need ii will still
pay to plant the peas and let
them rot on the land. There is
no quicker or cheaper way of re-
storing fertility, except that of
feeding Lhe hay and returning
the resulting manure to the land
By this plan you get fertility, as

A RUSH OF BUSINESS.
It Came Just at the Time He Wanted
to Sell His Place.

to Sell His Place.
One of the leading men of Louisville,
reported to be one of the richest, got
bad start in business. He began by
being a photographer, but found that
the business didn't come up to expec-
tations. He therefore wisely decided
to sell out and start at something else.
He finally interested some people In
the proposition and appointed time
when they should come and look things
over.
He now has the reputation of being
shrewd, and that this is not a COM
plimentary designation only Is indi-
Gated by what happened then. He in
serted an advertisement in the daily
papers In small enough type not to at
tract everybody's attention and yet
conspicuously enough to win consid-
Grafton from those who make point
of looking for bargains, announcing
that on certain day he would take
pictures free of charge. By coin
cidence the day he set was the day
when the prospective purchasers OF
his business were to be there.
The adj, as usual, paid, and that
afternoon his gallery was crowded
with visitors. They thronged In and
out, and he could not take care Of
them rapidly enough, even with the
aid of several assistants. When the
folks he intended to do business with
came he greeted them with crown
of disappointment, explaining that he
was simply so busy that he couldn't
see them then and asked them to come
back in the morning, when things
would likely have slackened up. They
agreed and went away duly impressed.
He sold out to them next day, and it
is perhaps superHuous to add that he
got more for his outfit than he would
have done If it hadn't been for the
modest little advertisement Louisville

The Weather.

For most of us the weather Is still
one of those minor unaccountable pow
ers, too capricious to be either quite
divine or quite devilish, whom our saw
age ancestors used no doubt to placate
with offerings. We no longer do that.
partly because we have learned to dis
tinguish between religion and super
stition. partly because we do not be-
ieve that the weather would care for
any offerings of ours. But still we
keep that primitive lingering idea Of
the weather as something with per-
sonality enough to make us angry with
it, and we still get some satisfaction
from telling it what we think OF 1t.
The poets pay their tribute to good
weather and talk about the sun and
the rain and the wind as If they had
a wonderful and beautiful life of their
own, and their poetry makes us love
sun and rain and wind as If they were
indeed living creatures. But there are
many prosaic people who would de-
spise such poetry for its unreality and
yet who personify bad weather just
Is much as the poets personify good;
to whom the rain. when they have no
umbrella, is as much an enemy as the
cloud was a friend to Shelley. We
can all abuse bad weather so well that
It is a pity we cannot learn to praise
good weather better London Times.

HOW INSECTS BREATHE.
System of Tubes That Run the Length
of Their Bodies.

System of Tubes That Kun the Length
of Their Bodies.
Landlubber animals have lungs, and
sea creatures have gills. But insects
have neither one nor the other. They
have a complex system of tubes rum
ming throughout the whole length Of
the body by means of which air is con-
veyed to every part Of the system. As
they are destined to contain nothing
but air, they are strongly supported to
guard against collapse from pressure.
This support is furnished by means
of fine thread running spirally with
In the walls Of the tube. much in the
same way that a garden hose is pro-
tected with wire. There are generally
two Of these tubes which run the
whole length Of the insects body.
Many flies, as larvae, live in the wa
ter. Arranged along each side OF their
bodies is a series of exceedingly thin
plates. into each of which runs a Sc
ries of blood vessels. These plates act
and absorb the oxygen contained in
the water. The tail ends in three
feather-like projections. By means OF
these the larva causes currents Of wa
ter to flow over the gills, and thus their
efficiency is increased.
The gnat also lives in the water as
a larva. But it has no gills; there
fore it cannot breathe the oxygen in
the water, but must breathe air. This
is done by means of spicade situated
at the tip Of it's tail. Indeed, the tail
is prolonged into little tube. The
larva floats along head downward In
the water with this tube just above
the surface to enable it to breathe.
After some time it is provided with
two little tubes, which act in the same
