to place, hence in fighting the red spider,
wide planting of the cotton is advised.
Also the frequent stirring of the land
should be practiced, thereby destroying
those mites which try to migrate from
one plant to another.
The best method or fighting this pest
is through the use of a spray mixture
made up of 1 pound of arsenate of soda
dissolved in 20 gallons Of water. This
spray should be uniformly distributed
over all affected plants. At the same
time it should be remembered that it is
deadly poison, therefore it should be
handled with skill and care, and the
field of cotton to which it is applied
should be sufficiently well fenced to keep
livestock out of it, otherwise animals
eating the sprayed plants viii certainly
be killed. The method of treatment
however. is the most effective that you
can follow in dealing with this pest,
which unless promptly and efficiently
controlled may multiply and spread
throughout your field with sufficient
rapidity to destroy considerable part
of your crop.

What you should do, therefore, is to
make a plan to have this land drained

There is a good deal of land Of the
type you describe now being cultivated
in Georgia with little profit or success
due to the fact that the water table is
so close to the surface of the ground
that the roots of plants cannot develop
satisfactorily in this land. AS result,
the plants make a restricted growth and
are subject to one or another form OF
disease. Draining the land will result
in your ability to control many Of these
diseases. After it is drained, it may
need to be lined in order to sweeten
il. Soil of this character is often de-
ficient in phosphoric acid and potash

existing conditions you use not less than
800 pounds Of acid phosphate under

We rather suspect that what you call

The German empress is continually re-
ported as being seriously i'll. Sometimes
afflictfon of this sort softens the hearts
of those who are anxious and dread
the darts of death. Indeed, why should
any human heart be anxious to continue
the killing of anybody? The casualty
list that we read every day also tells
of the grief that prevails over there.
1t is an anxious time for homefolks-
mothers especially. When L seek out
the names of Georgians killed. wounded
and missing, l never fail to THINK OF
the mourning mothers first.
But there is a duty that we owe 10
these dear ones-these anxious mothers
namely to keep a cheerful couhte
nance in trying to console them. Noth-
ing is so bad that cannot be made worse
by INDUCING in gloom.

Peanuts

Peanuts will be one of the main crops
with corn in the sander regions of the
state. They can be used as a grazing
crop for hogs or as a money crop. When
gathered for the market their tops will
furnish a fair yield of hay. In north
Georgia they can be grown to large
extent but as a rule cannot be grazed
by hogs.
Two varieties seem best adapted to
our conditions. For grazing the North
Carolina or running should be the prin-
cipal variety as it's nuts will not germi-
nate during the fall or winter if left in
the soil. The Spanish variety should
be grown largely for selling to the oil
mills and for early grazing. 1t yields
well on the thin, sandy soils in south
Georgia as well as on the cIays of north
Georgia. The North Carolina does best
on the better classes of sandy soils
Both of these varieties have been grown
in the state for a number of years.
Peanuts are usually planted in a row
in the corn middles and quite often veL
vet beans in the drills with the corn
while a few want only the peanuts in
both places. The Spanish variety can
be successfully planted either shelled
or IN the pod by machinery, but the
North Carolina gives better results if
shelled. Several kinds of cotton plant
ers, such as the Cole and Ledbetter,
have peanut attachments and will plant
the shelled nuts successfully. Spanish
peanuts should be planted from six to
eight inches in the drill and the North
Carolina from twelve to fifteen The
latter should be planted in April or
early May, while the former can be
planted as late as July /. However
planting during the last of May and the
first of June are most successful. If
the land'is poor an application of from
one 10 two hundred pounds of acid phos-
phate will increase the yields materi-
ally.

The production of vinegar is due to
the development of certain fermenta-
tions in apple juice which gives it the
characteristic flavor and other deserv-
able qualities of vinegar. The flavor
and quality Of vinegar varies according
to the nature, and. character of the fer
ment predominating in the cider. In
some instances one ferment may obtain
the dominance and in other instances
one of different character. AS cider
was formerly made the so-called mother
or desirable flavor was transferred from
old casks into new casks. This addi-
ton of predominating characteristic
flavor produced a cask of vinegar Of
the same flavor and quality as that
from which the mother was derived
Some years ago Investigations of this
matter were made on quite an elaborate
scale at the Virginia Experiment sta
tiOn at BlacksDurg. Various types of
cultures for the production of cider
were separated and developed At one
time these were distributed in the state
and quite extensively used. They nat.
urally hasten the fermentation and tho
obtainment of the desirable flavor ana
quality in cider which is to be made into
vinegar and thereby lessen losses and
delays which might otherwise occur
Presumably this station is still making
and distributing these cultures In any
event it will do no harm for YOU to
communicate with them. If they can
not provide you with what you need they
can no doubt indicate the source from
which you can obtain the same
The cost of the cultures you will re.
quire will in any event be comparative-
ly small.
