the rind in the tea before you pack

Here is the government way:
Watermelon Preserves: Cut one
pound of water melon rind into inch
squares. Allow to stay over night
in salt water a tablespoonfuls or
salt to a quart of water). Drain
and freshen in clear water for one
hour, then cover with a syrup made
of two cups of sugar and three
pints of water. Boil in this for half
an hour, then set off the fire and
soak for several hours. Add the
juice and three slices of lemon for
each pound of rind. cook until clear,
about an hour. Then put in the jars,
cover with the syrup and partially
seal, process bv standing in SIM
mering water thirty minutes, then
tighten caps and invert to see that
the seal is tight.
I make q sweet pickle by taking
the rinds out of the brine. adding a
cup of vinegar and a cup Of sugar
to water enough to cover and boil
ing until the rind can be pierced with
a straw. Molasses and vinegar
make nice6Ssweet pickles of water
melon rinds or beets. but I would
have to buy the molasses and it is
not any cheaper in the long run than
sugar. ..
To add to your variety make May
pop jelly. Use seed and pulp of ripe
Maypops. Boil Is minutes and

sugar and boil till it jellieS.

1918, Georgia stood fourth in the

600 to our credit. We stood sew
enteenth in the value Of our live
stock with 193,4S1, 100000 to our
credit. In 1919, we stood sixth in
the value of all of our crops with
1913, 100000 to our credit L can

production, but it is, I think, CON

this time we have made S201, $4,000

Protecting the Corn Crop by busting
M. H., Villa Rica Ga, writes:
Worms are destroying my corn,
|. and wish to know how, to get
rid of them. do not wish to
have to pillow up my corn. ."
Presumably, the army worm has
attacked your corn field In that
event, you should proceed as fol-
lows:
Pillow up strip four or five feet
wide across the field beyond the
i GuSS Ol ILle area WHICH the worms
have already reached. Harrow and
drag this area SO as to develop a
dust mulch. Plow a deep, V-shaped
furrow on either side. AS the worms
make their way from the part of
the field they have attacked, many
Of them will fall into the first fur
row. They can be destroyed with
kerosene or a light mulch of straw
which is set on fire and burned.
Many of the worms that get over
this furrow will fail to get across
the dry, dusty area, and those that
do can be killed in the second fur
row in the manner indicated. This
is the cheapest and most certain
method of destroying this pest.
Where. this method is not practi-
cable, you can dust the AFFECTED, corn
with calcium arsenate, or: a mixture
made up Of, one pound Of Paris
green to twenty pounds of slaked
lime. This may be busted on the
corn with a hand buster. or by a
power machine provided the corn is
small. In the event you have Meth
er one of these implements on
hand, secure a stick as long as the
width of your corn rows. To each
end of this stick attach g!unn!y, sacks
filled with a quantity of either Of
the, poisonss indicated. This. may be
busted on the corn by a man from
the back Of mule. Calcium arsen-
ate and Paris green are poisonous,
and, of course, the fodder should not
be used until several heavy rains
have drenched it.. After the occur

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION

Destroying weevils in stored Grain

and a half and it is fairly dry.
! wish to Know what to do to
! prevent weevilS from getting
into it.
The best method of protecting
wheat from infestation by weevils
is through the process known as
fumigation. This consists of the ap-
plicatlon of poisonous gases of suf-
ficient strength to kill the insects.
Various materials may be used for
this purpose, depending on the ma
ture of the insect life to be de-
stroyed. Carbon bisulphide is the
cheapest and most desirable mate
rial to use for the purpose you have
and penetrating odor not dissimilar
to, that observed in the case of bad
1y decayed eggs. The gas generated
when this substance is mixed with
air is highly infIammable. 1t is
also heavier than air so. that it
readily sinks down into the grain
and penetratcs every part of the
container in which it is stored. If
1t is inhaled for a considerable Pc
Rod of slime it might cause sick
ness and even death. No light
should be brought about where car
bon bisulphide is being handled. Or
dinarily. there is no danger to those
working with it and it will not
burn the hands or injure clothing
:. In treating grain it should be
used at the rate of six pounds of
the liquid to every one thousand
cubic feet of storage space. Put the
grain in as tight a structure or bin
In the right proportion in shallow
pans. Place these on top of the
grain and cover with a heavy cloth.
The treatment should continue for
about twenty-four tours. The grain
should then be opened UP and aired,
The disagreeable odor will disappear
and the grain will be found thor
oughly satisfactory for use. 1t may
be necessary to, repeat the treatment
in period of about thirty days so
as to effectively destroy any wee,
wills which may have Matched: sub
sequently to the time the first treat
ment was made.
