BELcIANs FOR THE SOUTH

The Belgian relief movement ha'
been resumed with renewed energy,
and there can be no charity more
worthily bestowed. The suffering
over there among old men, boys,
women and children must be ter
rible. How long it must be con-
tinued is beyond our knowledge.
These people, honest and hard work
ing, must sit idly and perish unless
something is done for them in the
way Of getting them employment
From all appearances we will soon
be in an active state Of war and
contributions from us viii be i'm
possible.
These people are the worlds best
farmers. The labors OF the farm
and garden are not confined to the
men, but women and children do a
large part Of this work
The Southern states include a
large portion Of The worlds best
farm lands, and these lands are,
in 1 great measure, lying idle for
want Of laborers,
We have the negroes, and will
continue to have them with US be-
cause they can thrive in no other
section, nor are they appreciated
and understood as well in any other
section as here. But they are not
sufficient. The laborers are too
few.
What can be more um me, more
mutually acceptable than to inn
part some of these objects Of charity
and make them self sustaining, and
at the same time furnish the South
with intelligent, willing workers
for our idle farm lands and the
factories and foundries that are
now inevitable?

Of Others have been and will be.
By this distinctions, Ee mean the
rice-eating Japanese folk AT the
present time, when a dollar almost
means lOl cents to the most Of rs,
we nave to consider the various nu-
tritive values Of food as well as its
palatable qualities. All over the
country, there is a great plea
spreading to eat rice, instead Of
the golden-priced potato, the costly
bean, and the almost impossible
peal
When you spend your dollar, you
want the outside most for your
money, of course. In spending for
food, we should think Of this more
than once. A dollars worth Of
Irish potatoes will bring you 1874
pounds, and 6, 1879 Galleries Of nu-
tr we value. On the other hand i'm
vest your dollar in rice. This will
bring you l4,5 pounds, and %, 1863
calories IF nutritive value. Notice
the wide differences in tile number
Of calories thus obtained. Ii you
get riceinstead Of potatoes, don t
you feel doubly repaid? When
some people think of rice, they
have vision of a double-boiler,
white grains, and possibly accom-
panied gravy or butter That is a
very narrow-minded view, for there
lis no dish that can be fixed in more
delicious ways than the little white
grains from the rice fields.
Many Northerners think rice a
dessert, and care for it only III that
way. If that IS their idea, let them
be, for we are all free to our own
tastes and ideas. But for our
southeyland, where the rice fields
flourish, and where we need only
an hour Of time to prepare even The
most elaborate rice delicacy, let u
cling to oar own individual tastes
and revel in the rice potsl

2. Save and apply to the land

HOW TO COMBAT GARDEN PESTS
is TOLD BY ENTOMOLOGY board

Atlanta, Ca, Mareh.-(S Especial. lin
its recent campaigns designed to pre-
pare Georgia farmers for the fight they
must make against the Mexican cot
ton boil weevil, the State Board of
Entomology and its representatives
have urged as one of the important
factors, the planting of home gardens
The value Of the home garden was
urged in every one Of the fifty or more
meetings held in various south Geor-
gia counties this year. The campaign
has been taken up in almost every
town and city in the state; back yards
and vacant lots, wherever they are
available, are being converted into
home gardens in the effort to lower
the ever increasing cost of living. The
home garden is recognized as indis-
pensable on the farm, and along with
it truck farming as a business is re-
ceiving more and more attention and
growing in importance throughout the
state every year. Georgians, particu-
larly In the middle and southern sec
tons Of the state. should have home
gardens all the year around. There
are several vegetables which will stand
the winter climate and which can be
grown in the open during the winter
months.
To Control Garden Pests
Recognizing the growing value both
Of the home garden and the truck farm
ing Industry, the State Board Of Ento-
mology has made a special study of
insects and diseases which attack
truck crops and has prepared a bulle-
tin describing these and the best
methods for their control. The infor
nation contained in this bulletin will
be found valuable to practically every
gardener in Georgia. A copy of it will
be sent upon request addressed to the
State Beard of Entomology, State Cap
itol, Atlanta. Ca
Many truck crops are susceptible to
attack by nematode worms which
cause the formation of knots on the
roots Of the plant. Among the plants
most severely injured by this worm
are beans, beets, cantaloupes, celery,
clover, cucumbers, egg plant, lettuce,
okra, potato, satisfy, squash, tomatoes,
watermelon and others. On the other
hand. there are many varieties which
are immune to attack. The nematode
can be eradicated only by cultural
methods or proper rotation Of crops.
By planting immune crops in infested
areas for few years, the nematodes
will die OF starvation. There are va
rious ways of treating seed beds to
destroy the nematode. and the pur-
chaser of plants such as tomatoes.

they are grown in a soil which is free

nishing food for them through the win
ter should be destroyed. Where infes-
tation is found in the spring it is con-
trolled by a spraying of one part OF
lime sulphur to fifty or one hundred
parts of water.
Use of Trap Plants
The harlequin cabbage bug, black
beetle with orange markings which
feeds on collards, cabbage, mustard,
radishes, turnips, lettuce, etc, is con-
trolled only by contact poisons. Thor
ough cleaning up and burning of trash
in and about the garden or field dur
ing the winter will destroy many hiber-
mating adults. Mustard is frequently
used with good effect as trap plant
II the bugs are found in numbers on
growing crops, a spray of Is per
cent kerosene emulsion can be applied
with success.
The squash bug, dark brown bug
little over half an inch long, should
be picked off by hand when first seen.
Spraying with ten per cent kerosene
emulsion or BLACK leaf forty" one
part to 800 parts water, will kill the
young bugs. Clean culture should be
praeticed.
There are several varieties Of plant
lice, or aphids, which attack cucum
bers, cantaloupes and cabbages. Spray
ing with BLACK leaf forty" a nicotine
tobacco product, has been found the
best remedy.
The mole cricket, which is preva-
lent in the southeastern section of the
state, particularly on the coast, where
it does extensive damage to tomatoes,
peppers, turnips, potatoes and other
growing plants, is best controlled by
blowing the breeding areas two or
three times during April, May and
June, thus exposing many of the eggs
to the sun which kills them. Poison
bats of cotton seed meal with arse
nate of lead or Paris green, have prov

Few gardens escape the destructive
activities of the cut worm. The best
method of getting rid of it is through
placing about the garden poison bats
made of corn meal, Paris green and
sweetened with molasses.
Arsenate of Lead Useful
The pickle worm, the melon borer,
and the squash vine borer which at
tack. cucumbers, melons, squashes and
similar plants, are largely controlled
by using trap crops and busting both
the main and trap crops with arsenate
Of lead mixed with air slaked lime
at the rate of one pound TO five. The
green horn worm which attacks the
tomato plant is also controlled by
busting with the arsenate of lead and
lime mixture.
The. same remedy-one pound Of ar
senate of lead to five pounds Of air
slaked lime-is most effective against
the common Colorado potato beetle,
and is used with success against the
various varieties Of cabbage worm.
The bulletin prepared by the board
not only describes the method of con-
trolling these various insects which at
tack garden vegetables, but tells how
to make the various mixtures that are
used to eliminate them.

Police today are looking for three

shots at Special Policeman james A.
sheaffer. at Eighth and " streets
northwest last night. sheaffer was
less than twenty-five feet away from
the negroes when they began firing.
but he was uninjured.
Trying the eafront door OF the Unit
ed Dry Cleaners Store. and looking
through the glass, sheafter was
amazed TO see three negroes at work.
Calling to them. he got no response.
and the policeman ran to the rear
entrance just in time to see the
thieves making their escape. Com
manding them to halt. he drew his
revolver. A shot was the only an
swer.
Sheaffer hred once. and all three
negroes then fired at him. Ducl<ing
behind a barrel. he kept firing until
his pistol was empty. The negroes
made a break, and he ehased them
as far as Ninth and P streets, where
they disappeared around q corner.
An examination OF the store showed
that several articles Of wearing ap-
parel had been stolen.
