the things we have been accustomed
to buy from them.
Furthermore, Europe will not be
able to provide us with capital for
the development of our industries to
the same extent as before the war
In fact, she may quit sending us
capital and actually demand that
we pay back what we owe, or even
ask us to begin lending to her.
The governments of Europe are
bidding high to attract that capital
away from us and they will bid high
! er still as the war goes on. The last
British loan was sold to yield four
and one-half per cent to the investor.
Other nations are paying as much
and even more in most cases. AS
cold business proposition OF Doth
sides it will be hard for our railroads
and industrial corporations to COM
pete with such an interest rate as
that. But it is not a cold business
proposition. The nations of Europe
will add to the attractive rate OF their
loans an appeal to the patriotism and
pride of their people.
| believe they will be able to secure
large proportion of the available
capital in Europe, and that they Will
pull away from us a large part OF
what we have borrowed unless we
are willing to pay much higher rate
of interest than in the past, when
the renewal date comes.
Then Europe will probably sue
coed in reducing American capitalists
to invest over there.
If these things take place-and
fear they will, because capital new
tabIy goes to the highest bidder II ne
is safe-some of our own capital
needs may have to go unsatisfed.
Some of these needs will be press
ing. In 1915 at least half a million
dollars of railway securities are ma
turing in this country. The railways
in the United States, Mexico and Can
ada will need at least 81, 900, 900, O0O
of new capital during the next flve
years. How much will be needed tor
industrial corporations cannot, OF
course, be estimated, for their needs
will depend upon market condltlons'

COMMON WASH RAG MORE
DANGEROUS THAN TOWEL
Family Bath Cloth Said to Be Alive
With Disease Germs.

With Disease Germs.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The United
States public health service and the
various state and local boards Of
health have taken adequate measures
for the abolition of that distributor
Of disease germs, the common towel.
Now comes the news. that the COM
mon washrag is a greater menace
to health. The hotels and public hos
telries have recognized this for some
time, and have supplied their guests
with sterilized wash cloths in indi-
vidual sealed packets. The damp,
sour" smelling Washrag still exists,
however, in many private bath rooms.
Imperfectly washed out after use,
frequently not wrung out at all, it is
often hung over a rack or a radiator
near an open window, there to col
lect dust and dirt. Frequently the
same washrag is used by the entire
family, thus affOrding an easy means
from person to person.
In the Investigations the United
States public health service is con-
Quoting in regard to the prevalence
Of trachoma it has been found that
common towels probably acted as a
medium of distribution of the germ

MAKING READY FOR THE
INVASION OF BOIL WEEVIL

A. VI. SOule, of the Georgia State Col
Iege of Agriculture, Talks.
The fight against the boil weevil
itself, of course, belongs. essentially to
the State Board of Entomology and
the State Department of Agriculture,
where the quarantine and general reg
ulatory power resides for the control
of insect pests, but the State College
of Agriculture, through its extension
and demonstration agents, is ready to
do its part in meeting the problems
arising.
At meeting held at Macon for the
purpose of organizing campaign for
better farming, the College enlisted
it's forces and is in accord with the
resolutions passed, which are as fol
lows:
Resolved: That we approve the
campaign on boil weevil inaugurated
by the State Board of Entomology, and
urge the active cooperation of the
State Department of Agriculture, the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, the State College of Agricul-
ture, the State Agricultural Society,
the Farmers Union and other farm
ers' and business organizations with
in the state.
Resolved: That this committee rec
ommend that the State Chamber OF
Commerce furnish the expenses Of
business man from boil weevil terrific
ry to organize and instruct the bust
ness men of their duties in fighting the
boil weevil This man to be selected
by the directors of the campaign.
Resolved: That under the leader
ship of the Extension Forces in CO.
operation with all other state agen-
cies engaged in farm Improvement
work, better farming campaign be in
augurated in the counties Immediately
in advance of the boil weevil, gradual
ly extending this to all sections of the
State. This campaign to begin as soon
as pTdCJlCdDlS, dlI6I IuC CloOC "a ChS
boil weevil campaign, in which better
farming, adequate markets and better
credit be urged.
THAT the agricultural forces of the
state take charge of the better farm
ing campaign, and in connection there
with the Chamber of Commerce and
bankers and business mems organiza-
tions take hold of the campaign for
markets, credit and organizing the
business interests in this work"
The effectiveness of the Smith-Lever
and demonstration funds become very
apparent in emergencies like this. The
demonstration agent who is on the
ground is prepared to put into effect
the best advice that the campaigns,
or expert scientists in general have
to offer, in fact they are very pres
ent help in the time of trouble.

NUSICPUPILSARE TRIED
INTEREST RAN HIGH IN COURT
OF FAMOUS MUSICIANS.
Mrs. Sherman's Pupils Organize Club,
and Have a Most Enjoyable At
ternOOn. Officers Elected.

/
The music pupils of Mrs. w. F
Sf.erman's class met Friday evening
IN her studio to organize club. II
was thought advisable to have two
clubs, the older members of the class
belonging Done, which is known as
the ST. Cecilia Club, and the begin
ners another, called the Little Folks
Music Club. Officers of the st. Cecilia
Club were elected as follows; Ruth
Finn president, Willie Chappell vice
president, Carolyn Geise secretary,
Sarah Jones treasurer.
Each member was given the priv
ilege of inviting a friend to join, and
these new members were Initiated
Friday night. Each went through a
trial at the court of famous must
clans. Without giving away the Sc
crets of the initiatory chamber suf-
flee it to say that each trembling APP
plicant was satisfied with his or her
degree, and the only pleasure for
them in the meeting was the antlcl-
patton of initiating some of their own
members in future. After the merri-
ment had subsidized the club was call
ed to order by the president, who told
them something of the work that had
been planned for the year, and gave a
synopsis of the life of st. Cecilia.
The officers of the Little Folk
Club are: Virginia Hollingsworth
president, Katherine Davis vice pres
ident, Emma May Baldwin secretary.
and Frances Rauch treasurer.
Each club will meet once month
on Saturday afternoons. A we'll ar
ranged program will be given, thus
giving the children an opportunity
to accustom themselves to playing
before audiences. After the program
an hour will be devoted to playing
musical games, which will be in
structive as we'll as entertaining. The
parents of the children are honorary
members of the clubs, and will al
ways be welcomed.

TREATING SEED OATS
FOR THE SMUT DISEASE
II. II. ChiIds of Georgia State College
of Agriculture Tells About 1t.

II. II. Childs of Georgia State College
of Agriculture Tells About 1t.
Through the cooperation of the
county farm demonstration agents, an
estimate has been compiled showing
an average loss of ten per cent of the
oat crop of Georgia due to loose smut
The forecast of the government
monthly crop report for Georgia OH
June list was 16,416,OOO bushels of oats.
Figuring on this basis the loss to the
state was 1924, 900 bushels from smut.
This disease is caused principally
by smut spores which are upon the
seeds when they are planted. any
treatment which kills the spores upon
the seed without materially injuring
the seed itself results in a clean crop.
The most economical and satisfactory
treatment is the formalin treatment.
Formalin can be purchased from any
druggist at a cost of from 40 to so
cents per pint. One pint is sufficient
to treat from rs to 100 bushels of
grain. This formalin should be used
at the rate of one ounce to three gal
Ions of water or one pint to 1880 gal
Ions of water. Stronger mixtures than
this may injure termination.
Spread the grain in thin layer on
the barn floor and sprinkle with the
diluted formalin. A common watering
pot can be used fer this purpose. Be
sure that all parts of the grain are
evenly and thoroughly sprinkled, then
shovel the grain over several times
until the seed are all dampened with
the solution. Heap into a pile and
cover with a canvas sheet or sacks to
keep the fumes of the fOrmalin within.
The pile should stand for six to ten
hours in this way, when it should be
spread out to dry, stirring frequently
until dry. Put into bags that have
been disinfected with the fOrmalin so
luton. The drill should also be dis
infected before sowing.

ALL NATOINS MUST PAY
WAR WILL COST UNITED STATES
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS.
Ultimately This Country Can't Profit
BY the ImpOverishment of Its
Foreign Customers.

The European war will probably
cost the people of the United States
several hundred millions of dollars
We shall pay the bills, as it were,
unconsciously. And we cannot evade
the cost by keeping out o fthe con-
fict, says Joseph French Johnston,
dean of the New York University
School of Commerce.
The first year of the war is now
ended and Europe has spent in di-
rect war costs about 100000, 000,-
600. Add to this sum the many 9th
er billions that have been lost
through slackened production, and
you get a sum greater than any man
ever dreamed could be destroyed in
so short a time.
The belligerent nations are rails
ing the funds necessary to prosecute
the war through increased taxes and
through enormous public loans. With
their productive agencies crippled
they have not been able to realize
much from taxation. The loans have
been made, for the most part in two
ways-by initiating the paper money
circulation and by selling bonds or
short-time treasury notes. Some of
the great central banks of Europe
have more than doubled their paper
circulation.
During the last three months Eng
land alone foated a $4,000, 900
loan. Russia, Germany and France
have been plunging into debt on the
same grand scale. Before the war
is over and paid for there will be
imposed upon the shoulders of each
man, woman and child living in bel
ligerent countries debt of from $50
to $3.50. At the same time their
barns and factories will be burned,
their best artisans killed and their
fields and vineyards torn with ruts
and trenches.
1t is clear that they cannot buy
from us as much as they have in the
past and that they cannot produce
and sell to us so cheaDly as before

EARLY SPRING CABBAGE
SHOULD BE SOWN NOW

Should Be Transplanted When the
Plants Are Three Weeks Old.
For early spring cabbage the seed
should be sown not later than October
1. When the plants are three to four
weeks old transplant them. Do this
again the following month if possible.
Set into the field from December on
for early spring heads.
In south Georgia it is customary 70
plant several seed in the hill in the
open field in early October and thin
when the plants have started growth.
Generally speaking it is better, how.
