fense sends to the Bismarck Loyalty rally to be held
at the Auditorium this evening. on the eve of his

'The time has come for us to know the facts.
We must nut the case in stark and naked words The
millions Of complacent Americans to whom
the war as yet has real meaning must be aroused
They must be made to realize that their lives, their
liberty their happiness are at stake. They must be
piven to understand that whether this is won
or lost depends upon their realization Of their per-

Dear Mrs. Thomas: We have both
been silent readers of The Journal
for while and think it is a good
paper, because it has so many diff
ferent good parts, both for children
and grown-ups. We decided to write
you that we have got several good
points on saving from your good
letters, and others that have writ
ten you.
We are like the rest, we think
this war is awful and do all we can
to help win and trust the good Lord
Will watch over every dear boy in
France, for every one is dear o some
mother and his home was once like
the scng: When prattle and smile
made home a JOY and life was a
merry chime.
Please let us join Mrs IRVINE. for
there are lots more children ruined
by letting them do as they please
than by whipping. Spelling them S
what has filled so many evil places.
Mrs. Kegg, your letter was fine.
Come again, and all the rest, for you
write so many nice letters. Tell us
what you are doing and your plans
for next year. This is the place for
all of us to meet. So come again.
Sincerely,

The Personal Appeal

Dear Mrs. Thomas:
have read so many of your good
pieces until l am persuaded to write.
l have just been thinking about this
cruel war, the great bloodshed and
then the scOurge CT influenza. 1t
seems to one that God has laid his
hand IN the people for their wick
edness. So many called to pay the
price that were not prepared They
are gone, gone to the realities of
prepared to meet your God, should
stop and ask yourself. Am / prepar-
ed to meet eternity? If not why not
and where am / going to spend my
eternity. Stop and think, if it is only
for a moment, and think seriously
This life is short though it last a
hundred years. 1t is only a few mo-
ments compared with eternity, for
eternity is on and on for thousands
of years and then no nearer the
end--for eternity has no end. You
are giving up so much future happi-
ness for only few days of social
ed pleasure here. Each closing year
each setting sun, each tick of the
clock is shortening your days on
earth and swiftly, silently but sure
ly carrying you on to eternity and
to God. The day, the year, the mo-
ment will soon arrive that will close
your life on earth and begin your
Today your hands are busy at
work, your eyes are beholding, your
mind is thinking, you are planning
for your future. Tomorrow all is
still. The folded arm, the closed eye
remains. But you are gone, gone to
eternity. Others were once busy as
you are, healthy as you. They are
gone, gone to eternity. The merry
voice, the painted clown, the talent
ed artist, who's epresence made the
theater and the pantomine an at
traction for you, are gone, they are
removed far from the region of fic-
ton: to that of reality.
The shrewd merchant whose voice
was so familiar to you is hushed ana
he buys and sells no more; he has
entered eternity. And, reader, your
own time to enter eternity will soon

or+ vat7r3. by blowing about the
dust containing the spores. by ami
mails trampi-g over infected fields
and then on to unaffected areas of
land, and through the use of farm
implements. All these points should
be guarded against, therefore, in
fighting this trouble. The best and
it lies in the planting of resistant
strains of cotton. You know, of
course, that in case there is an out
break of say typhoid fever in COM
munity or any other disease certain
individuals seem to be able to re-
sist it. In other words, they pos
seSs complete or partial immunity.
This is also true of plants. Even in
the worst infected fields you will
find those plants which survive an
atteck of the wilt disease even
though all the plants surrounding it
may have been killed out. BY Sc
Letting from these resistant plants
it has been possible to develop
strains which have high immunity
against wilt diseases, and these va
rietics of cotton should, of course,
be planted on soils where this crop
has previously blighted.
One of the very best varieties of
cotton for you to plant for this pur-
pose is the Covington Toole. 1t is
a relatively early cotton, well adapt
ed FOR growth under DOLL weevil con-
ditions, produces quite a satisfactory
type of staple, yields pretty well. and
possesses the highest power of re-
sistance to the wilt disease probably
of any strain which has been deyei-
oped as yet, and the seed of which
may be obtained at a reasonable
Cost. There should be no difficulty in
obtaining good seed Of Covington

Georgia who are specializing in its

Black rot of cabbage is disease
which is well known. 1t is rather
widely distributed and is one of the
most destructive and difficult of all
the disease of the cabbage to con-
troll. Infection apparently takes place
through the water pores of the host
plant. Climatic conditions also lntiu-
ence the development of the organ
ism. Conditions which encourage It's
development are sufficient moisture
in connection with warm days and
cool nights. This. as you know, IS
characteristic of the weather we
have during the fall and early win
ter. Cool weather, warm dry nights
and a dry soil offer a check to the
disease. Evidences of the presence OF
black rot are shown first along the
margins of the leaves, which be-
come yellowish in color, except the
veins, which become decidedly brown
or black. The leaves appear to have
burnt edges. The Progress of the
disease is inward and downward
through the stem. After a while ~
spreads up through the center OF
the head. 1t affects all of the COM
mon varieties of cabbage. Control
measures as yet are not satisfac-
tory.
When this dangerous disease ap-
pears in a garden or field the affected
plants should be Immediately pulled
up and burnt so as to completely
destroy them Roots and all should
be included. The seed bed should be
watched very carefully and any plant
which shows a suspicion of disease
should be pulled up and destroyed
This is very important matter. \
thorough rotation of crops should
be followed. Unless this is done
there is no hope of checking or eradi-
eating the organism from the field,
where II is once established. Insects,
nails and implements may spread
the disease to a certain extent.
Where the leaves only have become
infected picking them off and burn
ing them will be of service, although
this in most instances will not pre-
vent a spread of the disease. The
treatment of the seed before planting
is advised. Muriate of chloride in the
proportion of one part to 100 parts
of water is a good formula to use.
The treatment should continue for
fifteen minutes. Formalin may also
be used in the proportion of 100 to
200 parts water. The seed should be
immersed for twenty minutes. Re
member that these are poisonS and
should, therefore, be used skillfullY
In conclusion, therefore, we ad-
wise the treatment of the seed in
the manner indicated the rotation
of crops, and the burning of infected
plants. These are about the only
practical suggestions that can be
made with reference to the control
of this disease at the present time
