 NIT. Kenyon confessed he had short Holsters in his possession, but he did not know it until the deputy commissioner came alongside and found them in the bottom of his boat. He was engaged in hauling his lobster pots, and placed the large Holsters in his boat and three that he knew to be undersized over board Had he stopped to measure the smaller Holsters he would have drifted off quite distance and would have diff ficulty rowing back against a strong head tide.
 When the deputy commissioner came alongside and asked to see his Holsters, he emptied them from the ccntainer in to the cockpit of the commissioners boat. It was then discovered that three short Holsters had crowded beneath the container.

What to Use and Avoid
 On Faces that Perspire

Skin, to be healthy, must breathe. It also must perspire-must expel. through the pores, it's share of the body's waste material Certain creams and powders clog the pores, interfering both with elimination and breathing, especially dur ing the heated period. If more women understood this, there would be fewer self-ruined complexions. If they, would use ordinary mercolized wax instead of cosmetics they would have healthy com plexions. This remarkable substance actually absorbs bad skin, also un- clogging the pores. Result: The fresher, younger under-skin is permitted to breathe and to show itself. The exquisite new complexion gradually peeps out, one free from any appearance of artificiality. Obtain an ounce of mercoliZed wax from your druggist and try it. Apply nightly like cold cream for a week or two, wash ing it off mornings.
 To remove wrinkles, here's marvel ously effective treatment. which also acts naturally and harmlessly: Dissolve an ounce of powdered saxolite in half pint witch hazel and use as wash lotion.

age, character of the damage, and
so on.
The seriousness of the forest fires
menace in the south is shown by the
following figures: In each of the past
three years nearly 10000 forest fires
destroyed property in North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, and Mississippi, valued at
nearly $5,000,000; the total for the
three years was 35,700 fires and a
less Of more than $14,641, 900. In the
states of Missouri, Arkansas, Okla
homa, Louisiana, and Texas nearly
5000 fires have annually destroyed
S2,000.000 worth OF property; the to-
tai for the. three years is 1888
fires, entailing a loss of $500, 900.
Thus in these two groups of south
ern states, fires and fire losses for
the past three years have reached
the stupendous totals of $4,000 fires
and $20,000,000 loss. With the eXcep-
ton of North Carolina, Louisiana
and Texas, no organized effort is
made to control such fires, and even
In these states the effort is far from
adequate. The proposed enrolment of
a large additional number of CO.
operators will, it is hoped, be a step
in the direction of more widespread
conservation.

Will Cost U. S. $1,000 to
Paw for Mans False Teeth

United States Senators Calder and
Wadsworth are willing to pass the
buck in the matter of putting
through the senate a bill paying
Michael McGarvey, of New York
City, $50 for his false teeth. 1t has
passed the house and under Gus
tomary procedure one of the New
York senators must handle it. A
compromise has been suggested
whereby Senator Morris Sheppard,
OF Texas, prohibition leader, would
handle the measure, but the New
York senators are doubtful as to
what their friends would think of
permitting an outsider to steer d
New York matter.
McGarvey had his false teeth
knocked out while working on Gov
ernor's Island in 1918. Uncle Joe
Cannon, who iB a member of the
house appropriations committee, and
handy with a pencil, calculates that
passage of the bill by congress will
cost something over $1,000. That
does not include the expense of duly
filing it with the secretary of state.

4 new call has been issued for
for military duty, but
for the important task of reporting
forest fires in the southern states.
The forest service of the United
States department of agriculture
complies reports regarding forest
fires throughout the country which
are invaluable to the conservation
movement, and is in need of addi-
tional coopera tors+' in the south, in
order that it may have complete in
formation regarding the frequency
of fires in this region and the ex-
tent of their damage. In the north
and west similar data are obtaina BILE
from state forestry officials, but in
the south it is necessary to rely
upon volunteer reporters. Already
several hundred persons are cooper
ating with the forest service in this
but it is desired so to enlarge the
force that much more complete in
formation may be secured. Conse-
quently the service desires to get
in touch with any person in the
southern states who will be willing
to assist in supplying this informa-
ton. The duties Of a cooperator do
not require much time, the work
consisting in making out an annual
report as to the number of fires,

Ching l can do to correct the trouble?
There are 4 number OF animals of
all types which are shy breeders.
In such cases, there is very little
which can be done to overcome such
c defect. Sometimes changing the
male will be found an advantage.
Liberal feeding is also to be rec
commended. Occasionally, animals
which fail to breed have been in
jured in some way. At other times,
the passages may be found to have
closed up. Occasionally, an opera
ton may prove helpful, but this
would only be worth while where
valuable animal was concerned.
We have troubles of the character
indicated occurring in our own herds
and flocks from time to time. If
the method suggested does not af-
ford relief, we proceed to fatten
the animals concerned and dispose
of them as this appears to us to
be the best method of procedure to
follow.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW Nj. SOULE

l used what I had. I used ninety
six pounds of Navassa 1920 guano.
Part of it was used i nthe drills.
and part around the plants.
The First Sowing
The first seed I sowed was my
wilt-proof tomato seed, which
put in box on March IS. I put
this box on a shelf on the back
porch, and the chickens got up
there the next day after l sowed
the seed and scratched them all
out on the floor. 1 picked them up,
dirt and all, the best 1 could. A
few Of the seeds came up, but the
cold weather killed them.
sowed some Stone tomato seed
April 10 in a bed. [ framed my
bed with planks two or three inches
high. Then I dug up the soil good,
carried two or three buckets of
good, sandy loan soil and manure
and poured in there. Then I mixed
it we'll, poured in another bucket
of soil on top, and took a block
and pressed it down about one inch
of the top. 1 next laid off rows
two inches apart across the bed,
using a thin board to make impress
sions. 1 sowed the seed thinly, about
ninety seed in each row, and covered
them one-fourth of an inch deep.
When the weather was dry l wa
tered my plants every evening.
l did not transplant my tomato
plants, as 1t was so late when they
came up that I thought it was
not necessary.
Cultivation was poor in my garden
this year, for it raincd SO much I
could not work it. On this ac-
count the grass got such a start
that I had to dig it up and throw
it out with a pitchfork. 1t was
clean at that time, but the grass
soon came again. AS the rain
continued 1 plowed My garden only
twice and hoed it twice.
I had four rows Of tomatoes. I
staked three rows of them and
would have staked the other one if
could have gotten the stakes. My
stakes were about four feet high.
1 drove them along each side of
the plants, about two weeks after
the plants were put out. L then
took Irvine and tied them up.
I pruned my tomatoes by going
over them once a week and pinch
ing out the side shoots.
A Disaster Occurs
My plants were not diseased and
no insects bothered them except the
Irish potato bug. But the greatest
disaster came when the chickens
ate my ripe fruit. The remedy I
used for the potato bug was
spray solution. l also went over
them every morning and picked off
all L saw.
/ had to gather my tomatoes just
little before they got ripe on ac-
count Of the chickens eating them.
AS L gathered them I placed them
on a grading table to finish ripen-
ing. Then 1 canned the best ones,
and made sauce and ketchup out
of the remainder.

Don't Plant Inferior Seed

With all kinds OF seed as high as
they are, the use of inferior seed is
most expensive form of careless
ness. Careful testing of practically
all kinds of seed has long been urged
by the United States department of
agriculture, and special stress IS be-
ing placed on it, now that prices are
so unusually high. In the matter
of clover seed, for instance, attention
is called to the fact that compar-
atively cheap seed may be actually
higher than those that cost more
money, because of low termination.
The department, CT various times,
has issued advice in bulletins and
other forms Of The best methods of
testing seeds. This information may
be had free on appI,cation.

Stories From Real Life

The canning club work has been
in progress in Georgia for some
years past. During that time it has
been heartily supported and pro-
NOTED by the Georgia State College
of Agriculture. This institution has
had the sympathetic cooperation of
the U. S. department of agriculture
in developing this essential work.
At the present time there are near
ly 100 women employed in Geor-
.gia who are giving their time to
the service of considerable num-
Der of our counties. A part of their
duty is to encourage girls to take
up gardening, poultry raising, can
ming and home improvement gen.
orally.
This work has had a transform
ing Influence on the lives of a
large per cent of our girls. This is
shown by the following stories TAX
en- from some of the reports sub
mitted to the college in connec-
ton with the work done by these
girls. These stories speak for
themselves and 1 only regret that
our readers do not have an oppor-
tunity to enjoy the acquaintance
ship of these splen%.l young wom-
en- who are rising up t. do their
full part in making Georgia truly
great and prosperous.
These stories are all submitted
with illustrated covers, and in many
instances the girls have drawn
pictures descriptive. of the imple-
ments used, the fruits cultivated
and canned, and the insect enemies
they have had to meet. and over
come. 1t is a great privilege to be
permitted to read and study these
reports and see what !. wholesome,
splendid uplifting influence this
work has brought into the lives
of these young people. Those who
are not familiar with what is be-
ing accomplished have missed "a
phase of development work in Geor-
gia which is worthy of Sheir best
attention and consideration. l there
fore direct the special attention of
our readers to the stories printed
below, which are typical of the en-
deavor put forth last year by some
thousands of Georgia girls scat
tered throughout the length and
breadth Of this great commonwealth.

my age will permit.
The size of my garden is one
tenth of an acre, one hundred and
fifty feet long and twenty-nine
feet wide. 1t is located in a low,
flat place The subsoil is red and
the top soil is gray, sandy loan.
1 selected it there because it was
sowed in rye last fall and I
thought the stubble would be an adj
vantage.
My garden was broadcasted with
BILE manure, turned and Sowed in
rye last fall. Last spring after the
rye was cut the land was narrowed
with a spring-tooth harrow. But I
think the best way to. have done
this would be to use a cutaway har-
row, because it pulverizes the soil
better than. the spring-tooth har-
row. L could not get this kind, so

lands? have a ten-year-old mule

a permanent cure?
College No. L, cotton is not re-
garded as resistant to the wilt dis
ease. An endeavor is being made
to perfect it along this line and con-
siderable progress has been made in
the last two years. We do not rec
ommend it for cultivation as yet
however, in sections where the wilt
disease is pronounced. The varie-
ties best suited for planting under
such conditions are Pettys Toole,
Council Toole, Lewis 63, and Cow
ington Toole. Well selected strains
of these varieties should do quite

gus which produces wilt. They are
all relatively early strains and are
quite well adapted for growth in Sec
tions of the state infested with the
boil Weevil. We do not recommend
their cultivation, however, except
in localities where the wilt disease
is bad.
College No. 1 has a big boil, is
an early maturing variety and pos
sesses many excellent qualities. 1t
has been developed here at this in
stitution with the idea of supplying
the farmers of Georgia with a strain
adapted for cultivation under wee

perfecting and improving it from
year to year.

Oh, the good times we have had.
Several times our demonstration
would tell US she would come help

Then one day all of us (club mem

After lunch we had several good

We recommend the purchase and
use of all modern types of farm i'm
plements that will enable the planta-
ton owner to reduce his labor costs.
Horse and mule labor successfully
combined with the employment of
large types of machinery will enable
US to cultivate more land cheaper
than we can do with the present I'M
reliable colored help through the
agency of the methods formerly en-
ployed.
A two-horse corn cultivator will
give you satisfactory results on
sandy land. On soils of this type
somewhat deeper stirring of the land
is both advisable and necessary in
order to preserve a proper dust
mulch. With an implement of this
type, you can cultivate as much
land with one farm hand as you
formerly cultivated with two. On
sandy, level land on which a crop
like corn is more or less subject to
injury, we would advise the planting
of this crop in the water furroW
and then working the soil to 1t
throughout the growing season. Land
planted to corn in the manner indf-
Gated will often yield a profitable
crop; whereas, if planted on the level,
it may prove altogether unsatisfac-
tory in so far as yields and profit
are concerned
