THEIR LIFE TOO SIMPLE.

The lotus-eating life of the
islanders of Annobon is described in
his annual report by Mr.. Bernays,
British vice-consul for the Spanish
possessions in the Gulf of Guinea
THE island" he says, ''has a white
population of two or three priests
and a Spanish official. The natives
appear to lead a peaceful, sunny life,
in which work plays but small part,
They find good fishing along their
coasts and have little difficulty in
growing sufficient food for their own
requirements. They are fond of the
sea, and the men sometimes spend a
few years as sailors on ocean-going
steamers. Among these sailors the
writers met one who had been resi-
dent in Liverpool for space of four
years. He wore a loin cloth and a
necklace, and there was nothing but
his fluent English to testify to the
civilization he had known. All the
natives of Annobon profess and cal
themselves Christians. The infant
mortality among them is very high
and they are gradually dying out

NOT ANY WAY IN HIS LINE
Chinese Doctor a Specialist in One
Form of AiIment and Would
Treat Nothing Else.

The Englishman knows how to
serve and he knows how to be served,
says Mr.. Isaac Taylor Headland in
Home Life in China" but in the
matter of service and serving even
the Englishman must take a second
place, for the Chinaman has special
lied service as that has never been
done in Great Britain.
We sometimes think we are special
lists in the West. We have our eye
specialists, kind of servant, of
course, although 1 simply use them
to illustrate what 1 wish to say here
but they often combine with the
treatment of the eye that of the ear,
the nose and the throat. They have
not got down to a last analysis of
specializing as the Chinese doctor
has.
A man had been shot with an ar
row, the head of which was buried in
the flesh. He tried to pull it out, but
the skin had closed over the head,
and he was not able to do so. He
went to physician to get him to
remove it. The doctor promptly
sawed the shaft off close to the skin,
and then demanded his fee. "But,"
said the sufferer, ''the head of the
arrow is still inside"
"Quite right" said the doctor. ''I
am specialist. I deal only with out
side diseases. If you want the head
taken out you will have to go to an
other specialist who cares for inside
ailments. youths Companion.

EFFECT OF SOIL ON WHEAT.

The influence of different soils or
the composition of wheat is the sub
ject of an investigation undertaken
by the United States bureau of chem
istry. The effects of several kinds of
soil will be tested under identical at
mospheric conditions. The program
contemplates transporting to the Ar
lington experimental farm 1890 of
an acre of soil, three feet deep, con-
sisting of about sixteen tons each of
sandy clay, mari, muck and good
agricultural soil, and in each Of these
plats the same kind of seed will be
grown.

CLOTHES AND THE MAN.

An amusing incident occurred last
week in certain British government
Office during the medical examination
of members of the staff eligible for
military service. The men disrobed
in an anteroom, and on entering the
presence of the doctors one of them
was found to be suffering from govt,
whereupon one of the medicos, no
doubt having in mind the traditional
high salary and easy time of the az
erage civil servant, solemnly adjured
him to give up port and high living.
The funny thing about it was that
the person lectured happened to be
the office coal porter, whose meager
salary barely provides for the necessi-
ties of life!

DEVASTATION IN CHINA.

Flood and famine conditions in
China are most serious, according to
reports received at the state depart
ment. 1t is said that 30 districts
in the province of Kwangtung are af-
fected by the floods and the losses
are known to amount to more than
$44,0O0,000. 1t is estimated that
$4,000 houses have been destroyed
and 100000 people are suffering.
1t is also estimated that $500 per-
sons have been drowned. The first
harvest has been destroyed, and there
is no prospect of a second. bikes
are broken and fields inundated.
Flood sufferers will need help for
months to come, and the mission
aries are already arranging for re-
lief work.

STATE AND NATIONAL

tbs returned the fire, and Oscar Hen
derson, son, of Tom Henderson, was
killed. Curtis claims that he barely
escaped with his life.
Yesterday a deputy sheriff from I'm

warrant charging Curtis with murder,
and placed him under arrest. Imme-
diately the United States district at

SOUTH INCREASES IN THE

"The report of the census bureau on
the consumption of cotton in the month

May 81, shows that for May, 1916, con-
sumption in the South was 324,444
bales as compared with 250,42S bales
In the mills of all other states. The in
crease in the South over May last year
was 1928 per cent, as compared with
1865 per cent. in all other states.
For the ten months the consump-
ton in the South was 2,934,903 bales,
as compared with 2,4OO,e7O bales in all

over the corresponding ten months last
year was 1898 per cent, as compared

Live Stock Progress
Being Made In Georgia
Tick Eradication And The lntroduc.
ton of Pure-Bred Animals First
Steps OF Greatest Importance

(ANDREW M. SOULE, President Ga.
State College OF Agricultural
Remarkable progress has been made
in developing animal industries in the
South in the past few years. This has
been brought about by the general
campaign of education carried on by
the State Colleges of Agriculture and
their extension divisions and the vari-
Gus bureaus of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. / recall quite
distinctly when the proposition to Grad
icate the cattle tick was considered
ties free of this pest in Georgia alone,
and in a comparatively short time the
whole state will have been cleaned
up. The prosecution of this campaign
by state and federal authorities
means a saving and an addition to the
average wealth of the state of Georgia
of fully one million dollars year.
The introduction of pure bred sires
is changing the character and quality
of our beef cattle, not only in Geor-
gia, but in the southeastern states as
well. About 1900 pure-breds, mostly
of the beef types, were brought into
Georgia last year. You can appreciate
what levening influence they are ex-
erting on our live stock industries.
Several years ago the College pur-
chased scrub cows at $17.60 each and
crossed them with pure-bred sires.
The progeny from the third cross have
made steers weighing 1,400 pounds at
about thirty months. We have been
offered 10 cents a pound for some of
these animals, or $142.50 each. Com
pairing this with the original price of
the dam, the infinite possibilities of
live stock production in the south are
we'll illustrated, provided we use the
right type of sire and develop pastures
of bermuda grass, bur clover, Italian
rye grass and Japan clover, and util-
ize our forage and hay making legumes
such as corn and sorghum, and alfalfa,
cowpeas, velvet beans to proper ad-
vantage. When our cotton lands are
devoted to the production of winter
oats and other cereals to supplement
our cotton seed meal, the state of GeOr-
gia will have two or three times its
present carrying capacity of live stock.

inexpensive Cotton Cultivation
UOY E. RAST, Cotton Industry Dept,
Ga. State College OF Agriculture
cSbolIor, cultivation IF oot.

(LOY E. RAST, Cotton Industry Dept,
Ga. State College OF Agriculture.)
Shallow cultivation of cot
ton is economical, it con-
tributes most to the growth of
the plant, it conserves the moisture in
the soil better than deep cultivation.
Deep cultivation with pillow common
ly used throughout the cotton grow
ing belt, means unnecessary loss of
the moisture needed by the plants; it
means the disturbance of rootlets
through which the plant is feeding,
thereby robbing the plant of some of
its food, and it means blowing one
furrow at a time when the same en-
ergy might be used to three or four
burrows at time as deep as they
ought to be plowed.
Shallow cultivation not only means
rapid and inexpensive cultivation, but
it means that the planter can cultivate
more often. The oftener the cultiva-
tion--if it be shallow-the more the
moisture is held for the plants and
the more they grow and the heavier
the fruit More frequent civilizations
thus justify themselves with more
profitable returns.
During the past spring there was a
drouth. Springs drouths are coming
to be common. Al very harmful prac-
tice generally used in the cotton field
OF Georgia is to bar off the cotton
before chopping it out This means
that the cotton is left on ridge with
deep furrow on either side. 1t
means that the. ground under and
around the cotton dries out in a
dronth and leaves the young plant in
poor shape If it does not die outright
Had the soil been narrowed only, this
heavy loss Of moisture would not have
occurred, the plants would have con-
tinued to grow and so much replant-
Ing would not have been necessary.

Die-BaCk Disease
Severe On Peaches
Many Georgia Peach Trees Seriously
Affected BY Disease This Year,
Especially Less Thrifty

ture, State College OF Agr.)

II. II. Mcf1A1ION, 1TOL. VI tut llCuI-
ture, State College OF Agr.)
Die-back, fungous disease has be-
come more serious in Georgia peach
orchards this year than usual. 1t gets
its name from its characteristic way
of attacking tips of branches, causing
them to die back as the disease pro-
crosses. Unchecked it often kills
trees. At this time it is felt with
special severity because of hardships
which the trees have suffered during
the last year or two from unseasonably
early and late freezes and by reason
of heavy demands upon the trees vi
tality by unusually large crops. The
weaker trees are suffering in many
orchards from the disease while the
more vital ones are resistant.
Pruning away infected parts is rec
commended. The pruning tool should
be disinfected after each severance
of diseased limb. When very seri-
GUS, three sprayings with self-boiled
lime-sulphur should be made, the first
about September l and the last in
October.
