WHAT A TENTH-ACRE OF TOMATOES
CAN MEAN TO A COUNTRY GIRL


inclined to think that her goal can
be attained only at work in the city.
The little tomato patch also teaches
its lessons of the nobility of labor,
the value of exercise in the open, the
lovable secrets of nature, the recon-
pense of honest endeavor.
BY all means the girls should join
the girls clubs of Georgia 1t pays
in every possible way. The girls are
esteemed and honored for it. Fran
els Hodson Burnett began her liter
airy career by picking blackberries to
get a start, and who would not say
that as much can be obtained from
work in growing tomatoes or raising
poultry? 1t is the start at achieving
things early in life that has meant
so much in achieving success in after
life. Why not let the girls begin with
the tomato patch?

Insects that eat leaves and swallow
them are killed by arsenate of lead.
made by mixing two pounds arsenate
OF lead, two pounds of quick lime and
90 gallons of water. For small appli-
cations an ounce of arsenate of lead
one ounce OF quick lime and one gal
Ion OF water will serve the purpose.
Insects that suck their food like
plant lice, may be killed with soap and
water, using one pound soap to six
gallons OF water They may also be
destroyed by boiling one pound to-
bacco dust in a gallon Of water for
one hour, dilutjng with water to the
color of ordinary tea, and applying
with spray pump. Soap may also be
added to the tobacco fluid.
For plant diseases the most general
ly used fungicide is Bordeaux mixture
made of one ounce copper sulphate
mixed with two quarts of water. two
ounces of quick lime slaked and made
up of two quarts with water, the COP
per sulphate and the slaked lime mix
lures are poured together through a
fly screen which gives a gallon of the
Bordeaux mixture.
In combating plant diseases it is
important that the same crops should
not grow on the same ground year af-
ter year. A minimum amount of dam
age will result if rotation is practiced
and sometimes a disease can be en-
tirely overcome in this way.

Inc most common forms of collie are
indigestion and impaction or clogging

Inc following suggestions, if careful
~ carried out, will do much toward the
avoidance of these troubles:
l. Furnish a variety of feed stuffs
all the time.
:. Feed only perfectly sound feeds.
3. Divide the daily grain ration into
three feeds, morning, noon and night.
4. Provide roughage of good quality,
not too woody and give it to work ami
mails only at night.
o. DO not feed grain nor give large
amount OF water to animals that are
overheated or very tired. Allow them
10 rest and cool a short while first.
g. Water frequently during warm
weather and always before feeding
rather than afterward.
Z. Keep salt where the animals al.
ways have access to it, but do not mix
it with the feed,

animals are in good condition. for

acre has meant $3.50 profit. SO much
money can mean, when rightly spent,
great deal for any country girl. A

MAKE A SCHOLARSHIP THE GOAL
OF THE BOYS CORN CLUB WORK
NJ soule, Georgia College Agriculture

Instead of a trip to Washington, the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture will offer as it's chief encourage
ment to the corn club winners scholar
ships in agricultural institutions.
Greater knowledge of farming is bet
ter than a trip to Washington, and
even the distinction of shaking hands
with the President of the United
States.
At the last short course in agricul-
ture held at the State College of Agri-
culture, there were 106 corn club boys
to enroll. They remained at the Col
lege for ten days, took the course es-
pecially provided for them and went
away better farmers than when they
came Many of them acquired a
thirst for knowledge which will bring

them again to the College to take the
long courses.
The Short Course for the boys is
planned to excite their interest, in
crease the information and give the
boys an inspiration and vision of
farm life that will make them love
it more and strive to be progressive
and successful farmers.
Any of the 106 boys who were pres
ent at the last short course will tell
you what fine thing it has been for
them, how it proved both enjoyable
and profitable.
1t is the popular thing to belong
to boys corn club. Those who do
not join are mot in it, with the boys
who do. 1t is the opportunity of every
farmer boy in Georgia to join.

TURNING UNDER WINTER COVER CROPS
Fan Professor Agonomy State College Agriculture.

Generally speaking rye, vetch and a
clover such as crimson or burr, is the
best winter cover crop for green
manuring. In Georgia it should be
turned under about the middle of
April. If it grows too long it pumps
too much moisture out of the soil,
leaving the land dry and lumpy when
1t is broken.
Though Georgia soils are in great
need of vegetable matter, it is bet
ter for the growing season to follow,
that less vegetable matter be turned
under than too much moisture be re.
moved by waiting the full develop
ment of the rye. When turned under
