MARY MEREDlTHS ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

I've beben going with a boy for
a long time, and we were engaged
to be married after Christmas. I
haven't had any more company
since we were engaged, neither did
he, though he had lots to say to
other girls. I never did anything
about it. One night we both were
at church and another boy was
there. This other boy didn't ask
me for my company, and after I
left the church he came up to me
and asked me to let him see me
home. I thought the boy I had
beeni going with put him UP to it
so I let him take me home. The
boy I was engaged to called later
and quarreled because Of it. I
laughed at him and said: II, too,
have something to tell you" I
haven't seen this boy since. Must
consider our engagement broken?
Would it be proper to write to him
or not? I was not in the wrong in
tentionally. Is it wrong to keep
company with a divorced man?
(SigneO TRUE FRIEND.

you to write the boy you were en-
gagged ,to-a note, ask him to come
to see you. Thrash the affair out
let him see, you didn't Intentionally
hurt his feelings. If he then per-
sists in being angry with you, you
might as well understand he doesn't
care anything for you and wants
the engagement broken. There is
nothing improper about receiving
the attentions of a divorced man.
Provided he really is divorced.

upon on the dance floor by man
young or old, who reeks liquor who
reels and totters and like the old
three-gaited horse--Walks, stumbles

from a bleary-eyed partner who
hardly knows where he is or what
he came for. This is the average
man at the average drinking dance.
They aren't fit to see q girl home |
after the dance, and it certainly jars
the sensibilities of any self-respect-
ing girl. Long waist dresses will be
worn this coming spring and sum-
mer I feel certain. You will have
to be the best judge Of the hat you
need. You should be able to wear
most any color if your complexion is
good.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
81 DR. ANDREW NJ SOULE
Increasing Our Output of Beef.

Increasing Our Output of Beef.
The farmers of the southeastern
states have come to the conclusion
that a greater diversification of
crops than is now practiced is es-
sential. This change in attitude has
been brought about by the depreda-
tions of the boil weevil We have
grown too much cotton for too
long. We could not be induced to
change this practice to the extent
and degree desirable until Nature
has come along and forced our hand.
Now the pendulum is swinging IN
the opposite direction. There is a
chance that it may even swing too
far. though that is rather remote
and doubtful proposition. Certain
it is that the average farmer be-
heves that a portion of his land
must be devoted to some other pur-
pose than that of cotton cultivation
We can no longer plant as much as
so per cent of the cultivated land
in Georgia in cotton and hope to
maintain a profitable agricultural
practice. If we persist in doing this
financial disaster, food shortage and
general bankruptcy are destined to
follow. 1t is highly commendable,
therefore, that many of our think
ing people are viewing the situation
as 1t actually exists, realizing the
menace and danger by which we
are confronted and taking steps to
put themselves in condition to meet
the new conditions by which we are
confronted.
One of the ways in which we can
most certainly offset weevil dam
age is through greater diversified
ton and extension of our animal
industries. We have considerable
amount of idle land which is capa-
BILE Of producing larger amount of
grazing than is now utilized. We.
have much land which we have
for years devoted to cotton which

fir corn,' or Sudan grass for sum-
mer and fall grazing. We can make
a very acceptable quality Of silage
cheaply. This will supply the most
desirable form Of roughage to use
in the winter. At that season some
grain should be fed. There is moth
ing better to feed beef COWS which
have sucked calves from four to
six weeks old UP to as many months
OF age than mixture Of equal parts
by weight Of shelled corn, whole or
ground oats, and peanut meal. At
the end Of say months these
calves may be fed on a mixture of
equal parts by weight of shelled
corn, whole oats and cottonseed
meal. At the end Of the year they
may be put on a mixture Of equal
parts Of corn and cottonseed meal.
Peanut meal may be used in asso-
citation with this concentrated diet
If desirable. Velvet bean meal can
often be used to advantage as well,
though this should probably not con-
stitute more than one,third of the
grain ration. AS the animals be-
come older and approach the fin
ishing period more cottonseed meal,

may be fed in association with O.
smaller amount of corn. The fact
that we are extending the area de-
voted to corn and increasing our
yields Of this crop means that we
nave a larger amount of this basic
food available at reasonable cost
to feed to beef cattle of all ages dur
ing the winter months. If we COM
bine this corn with the various 9TH
er concentrates mentioned a very
cheap and efficient grain ration is
obtained. The amount of silage we
can secure and the cheapness with
which we can preserve it makes it
possible for us to provide winter
roughage ration which costs us as
little as that essential to the main
tenance of beef cattle in any Sec
ton of the country.
