THE HOME MERCHANT

In the d 'spatch Sunday appeared a
O communication signed Trader
which complained at the local mer-
chant for permitting so much bust
ness to so out of the community
through the mail order house. The
chief complaint was against local
prices. II was argued that local mer-
chants ought to be able to sell goods
at lower prices than the mail order
house.
Trader" was wrong. Local mer-
chants are able to sell goods at low
er price than the mail order houses
and the buyer here is permitted to
see what he is buying before he has
to pay for il. Numbers of people bite
at the all ordeer house. but they
bite generally very few times before
they learn that in every case they
have something of an inferior quality

FOR SMUT PREVENTION

FOR SMUT PREVENTION
Considerable loss is caused each
year in Georgia as well as in other
states by smut attacking oats and
wheat. Smut is fungous disease
and is carried over from season to
season on the kernels. Thousand of
spores are produced on each smutty
stalk. and when the grain is threshed
these spores are seated over practi-
callv all the kernels, where they will
remain until the grain is planted, I'M
less killed by treating the seed with
some good disinfectant just hafore
planting. If these spores are allowed
10 remain on the kernels, they will
terminate when the seed is planted
ond infect the plant as ii grows. This
will result in the stalk being full of
smut when matured
The only means of preventing at
tacks of smut is to kill the spores
which may be clinging to the seed
lust before the grain is planted. This
may be accomplished by treating the
seed with a 40 per cent solution of
fcrmaldehyde known as and sold I'M
der the name of formalin. Use the
solution in the proportion of one pint
of formalin to 80 gallons of water.
Solution of this strength have given
coed results at the Georgia Expert
coded by all experiment stations to be
about the best strength to use.
A very practical and satisfactory
method of applying the treatment is
outlined as follows:
Provide two tubs of half barrels.
Make a pinch hole through the side
of each in such a way that the bottom
of the hole will be on & level with the
bottom of the tub Tack small piece
of wire screening inside the tub over
The hole in order that the grain will
not run out when the plugs are remov
ed
Place one tub on a small table or
pair Of wooden horses with the plug
directly above the tub on the ground
CT floor.
Prepare the formalin solution Zone
pint of formalin in 80 gallons of wa
teri and fill the upper tub one-half
to two-thirds full
Pour into this solution about bus
hel of grain
Stir the grain thoroughly so that all
all the smutted kernels and sm"t
balls may rise to the surface.
Skim off the smut BAL, ard light
kernels that FLOAT on the surface and
destroy them.
Allow The grain to soak for five
minutes and then pun the plug and
allow the solution to drain into the
lower tub.
Dump the grain on clean floor,
canya u. huriap sheet
Lii. The lower tub upon the table.
Add enough solution to replace that
removed by the grain and repeat the
operation.
When five or six bushels have
been treated ana poured in a pile,
cover VITA Iurlap or bags for about
TWO hours
Then uncover ana spread out the
grain SO that ii will dry quickly. II is
advisable to stir the grain several
times during the drying process So
that ii viii all become thoroughly
dry. Do not place the grain in bags
that held it previously unless the
bags have also been disinfected. It'll
is also very necessary that the grain
he thoroughly dry before it is taken
up as it will mold in a short time.

Great Shortage
OF Farm Labor
In Florida
Supply Only rs Per Cent, While De.

April report.
Farm Labor
The supply Of farm labor in Florida
ia only 76 per cent of normal. Last
year there was a per cent of nor.
NAL supply.
The demand for farm labor is 10e
per cent Of normal requirements and
was the same last year.
These figures, which are based or
information obtained from hundreds
Of the best posted farmers in the
state, show that it is possible to OBJ
tain only seventy six farm laborers
for every 100 that were available in
normal times and that with the eff.
fort which is being put forth for in
creased production this year the
farmer needs 1O6 helpers where he
only needed 100 under normal cir
cumstances.
Conditions are somewhat worse
than in 1918 when seventy-seven la
borers were available for every 100
available in normal times and the
need of extra help was no greater
than at present.
The supply and demand for farm
labor for 1919 varies in the different
sections Of the state.
Northwest Florida has about IS per
cent of its normal supply and re-
quires 4 per cent more than under
normal conditions. Central Florida
has II per cent of its normal supply
and requires about IL per cent more
than under normal conditions. South
Florida has only 81 per cent Of its
normal supply and requires per cent
more than under normal conditions.
In some Of the trucking sections Of
the state the situation is much more
acute temporarily.
The farm labor situation for the
United States as awhole is greatly
improved over last year, the supply
being S4.4 per cent. Of normal against
1913 per cent. year ago. and re-
quirements 1913 per cent of normal
against 1914 per cent. a year ago.
Breeding Sows
The number OF sows for breeding
purposes has increased per cent ov-
err a year ago for the state. A very
large part Of this increase is in the
form Of registered stock.

| More than the usual amount Of at
tention is being given groves all over
the citrus belt and heavy bloom is
reported in all sections.
The condition of bearing trees for

lines. s. per cent.
Irish Potatoes
The condition of the crop on April

wonderful physicians, and get we'll!
No place for bed! Oh the pitiful
tragedy of it, that Mississippi, in it's
affluence and prosperity, Haunting
it's wonderful crops, it's magnificent
stock, it's handsome plantations and
happy homes to the world, should
turn a deaf ear to the cries and pleas
of her own people.
In the office of the Mississippi
State tuberculosis Sanatorium filed
away in orde-, there are over eight
hundred applications for admission,
each with it's pitiful history, telling
tales of failing health, and begging
for just a chance for life. Just think
of it, you people with your happy
homes-only fifty-fve beds to care
for the thousands within your borders
who are face to face with certain
death, and yet you sit in your COM
placency and lift neither hand nor
voice to remedy this condition. Stories
that would break your heart are un-
burdened to sympathetic ears in the
little white examination rooms In
the Administration building, but the
doctors are powerless to hold open the
door of hope without the aid of the
people.
In a distant county of our fair
state there is wealthy home where
father and mother dwell with an
only soma lovable little fellow of
min eyears. This fair haired child is
the centre of every ambition, about
whom is woven dreams Of happiness
for years to come, but over their
home is a grim shadow. The wise
men Of the stethoscope dealt them
a cruel blow when they told them
the boy had tuberculosis in both
lungs, and must have treatment. This
he cannot get in his own home, and
they are powerless to keep the sha-
dow away from their darling for there
is no place in the state for tubercu-
lar children.
From a neighboring county comes
an appeal from a young girl, eigh-
teen years old, full of the love of life,
and clinging desperately to the hope
Of getting into the Sanatorium, where
she could rest and lie in the sunshine,
and reveal in the joy Of the know
ledge that she is starting on the up
ward road that leads to health, but
life looks black to her. for hope is de-
MED her. Why? Because there are
many applicants from her county,
which lready has it's quota in the
Sanatorium, she cannot hope to be adj
mitted until Mississippi goes down in

to it's pocket and provides more room
for it's sufferers.
From a north Mississippi county
comes call for help from a poor
mother whose life has been one long
sacrifice for her brood of six children,
who stares grim death in the face, and
wonders why her state to which she
has given the best years of herlife,
should carelessly 60 it's way, neither
knowing nor caring that she must go
down into the valley of the shadow Of
death because there was no room for
her.
It isn't so much a lack Of thought,
and the greatherarted men and wo-
men of our state need, but to have a
realization of the situation brought
home to them, in order that funds may
be placed at the disposal of the work.
erS.
What are you going to do about it?
May God grant that you listen to
the appeal as sounded by the Red
Cross, and the faithful men and wo-
men who are giving of their time and
talents and money that the people at
large may be taught that Tuberculo-
sis may be cured by food and rest and
air under proper conditions. Will you
deny these stricken ones the right to
life and love and happiness? You
have always been interested in cas-
ual way, of course, as all us have, and
may God grant that you are not rudely
awakened as some have been, to find
that the mother of your babies is
stricken, or perchance that your baby
daughter whose golden hair has
woven it's tendrils into the very warp
and wool of your life, Isl beginning to
droop and fade before your very eyes;
wouldn't you then move heaven and
earth, if possible to provide a place
where the roses could be brought back
to her cheeks and the rounded curves
to the little wasted figure. When you
see the little life slipping, you'll
wake up then, get busy, buy Christ
mas Seals, give to the Red Cross, Sc
cure pledges from your senator and

morning where he was examined, and
