WHEN IS THE HOUSEWIVES
VACATION?

got a letter from a woman
know. Usually she is just happy
home-maker, seeing a good reason
for all that comes into her life. But
this year she has been overworked;
she has had house full of "Locusts'
as 1 call them, and it has turned her
attention more to the way the world
seems to be and less to how she
can make things at home work out
for the good of all concerned.
Do you want to know who I call
"Locusts"? They are the people who
go in droves and settle down on a
hardworking family and eat all the
fruit that the family had planned to
save for winter. The young Locusts
are bad, unusually so, for father and
mother are too busy visiting to care
how the children behave.
The children know they are where
they can do as they please, and begin
to "show off" as soon as they get in
the house.
I am thankful for the fact that I
have never been afflicted by any of
the Locust family. I have enjoyed
all the children that have come into
this home, but I've been sorry for
friends suffering from such visits.

The best method of fighting this
pest is as follows: You may dust

You could also use Paris green or
lead arsenate. In case you use
either of the two poisons last named,
mix one pound of the poison
with from fifteen to twenty pounds

placing a man on a mule and putting
a considerable quantity of the poison
prepared as indicated in a gunny
sack. If he attaches one sack to
each end of stick of the proper
length, he can dust two rows very
quickly, as the mule may be made
to travel at relatively fast pace.
Another way of destroying this in

width of four feet and scatter Paris

Controlling Army Worm Damage

Late side Applications Of Nitrate

~"S~ 9A"0 @~pp 1 @ssoAS va ANA'A'o
L. N. c., Rome, Ga, writes: I
bought a half ton of nitrate of
soda for use on my cotton, but
in view Of the boil weevil situa-
ton, / not not know whether to
apply it or not. I will appre-
ciate your advice in this mat
ter.
We consider it late to apply nj
Georgia, and would not advise it's
use under existing conditions at this
season Of the year. There is only
about one thing that nitrate of soda
would accomplish if applied now: it
might stimulate the development
the weevils other young squares and
immature bolls on which to feed.
In that event, the weevils might
leave such squares as have devel-
oped up to the present time alone.
In that event, you would be able to
harvest whatever part Of the crop
had been set on up to the present
time. The use of nitrate Of soda
under weeviI conditions should be
confined to the application of this
material either. under. the drill row
at the time of planting or as side
applications down the middles of the
cotton rows just as soon as the cot
ton is out of the ground. The early
stimulation and development of the
cotton plant under Weevil conditions
is the end to be attained, Fertiliztng
the plant later on in the season will
feed for the weevils. We hardly
think this is desirable practice.
Destroying Bermuda Grass IN
Gardens
A. c. NJ, Maxton, N. c., writes:
[ have a lot of Bermuda grass
in my garden, and I wish to
know the best way to get rid
OF it.
The very best method of getting
rid of Bermuda grass is to smother
it out. To that end, you might plant
Immediately cowpeas in the section
Of your garden infested with the
grass. The ground should be broken
under as much of the grass as you
can. Harrow and rake out all the
roots that remain On the surface.
Gather them up and destroy them
by burning. Plant the peas in drills
inches. Good varieties to select are
Warren'S Extra Early, New Era or
Whippoorwill. The peas may be
gathered and used for food and the
vines turned under to a good dpeth
in September or October.
You might then plant this land to
winter oats to be used as green feed
for your poultry. In the spring you
can plant the land to any clean hoed
crop after the oats have been har-
vested. This will help to keep the
ground well-shaded. You might plant
corn with peas between the rows.
The peas will help enrich the ground
and shade the land. You can thus
grow two profitable crops on the land
in one season. The persistent use
of shade crops will enable you to eff
fectively get rid of the Bermuda
grass.

Side Applications OF Fertilizers for

three feet in the drill without
any fertilizer under the corn.
The corn was planted the first of
June and I am now applying 1875
pounds Of a 1922 guano. and in

the best time to apply the nj
trate, and would it pay to use
it on cotton?
Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1920-08-19

About the only thing you can do
in fighting the worms which are at.
lacking your corn is to proceed as
follows:
Obtain stick of exactly the same
width as your corn rows. To each
end of this stick attach a gunny
sack. Place therein a considera bic
quantity Of calcium arsenate or a
mixture made up of one pound OF
paris green to twenty pounds of
slaked lime. Put man on a mule
and as the mule trots along enough
of the powdered poison will be shak-
en- out to cover the corn fairly well.
You may not find this a satisfac-
tory treatment, but it is the very
best we can suggest under existing
circumstances. You should use the
poison at the rate of about five
pounds and upward per acre. We
dc not think the use of over ten or
fifteen pounds would be necessary.
Some fairly satisfactory results from
busting corn in the manner indicated
have been obtained in the past.
This pest is very difficult to con-
troll or destroy even under the most
favorable conditions. You can, Of
course, dust your corn with a power
spraying machine or with hand
buster such as is used to apply cal
cium arsenate to cotton. The dust
ing may be done from the back of
mule with a hand machine. A
power machine could, Of course, be
used for the purpose provided the
corn Is net already too high.

assured him that there was nothing
to be upset about. We began again
to pull in our fish just as three
blasts came from the boats whistle.
1t was the signal to return to port,

Whether the fish heard the whistle
or not, he made one last desperate
stand. We could not tell whether
he had braced himself against the
bottom of the boat or what, but IL
became impossible to cake in more

breaking it. We stopped Of necessity
to await developments. By this time
the news of our catch had spread un-

that the two days had been entirely

line through our aching fingers. We
jerked back. The swordfish yanked
again. With a tense, even pull we
began to pull him in.
Although we couldn't see it, we
knew that there was the cold light of

would it be said that we couldn't

in installments, but when we caught
fish we caught fish! From the re-
