A Word About Nurses for Little
Children


Once upon time when I had a
! little child about fifteen months old,
| and the child had been seriously i'll
| for many weeks from teething, / had
an experience with a colored nurse,
that taught me lesson, and that ex-
perience / am willing to pass along
to you. During all those tiresome
| weeks of serious and critical illness,
| l had given my entire attention night
and day to the sick baby. The
nurse was general helper in the house
and to her grandmother who was my
! servant.
| l had to begin to lcok into house
hold needs. and the colored girl had
! to be more closely confined to the
be left in her care, after conval-
escence. She was not allowed to
leave thu house with him. The nurse
decided Git afterwards appeareO that
| it was very nice to have the little
child sleep a good deal, and attempt
ed to give it a quiet little dose of
| laudanum as helper to slumber.-
She gave too much and the child
strangled and my husband was read
ing on the piazza and overheard the
| strangle, and screamed for me to
come and I discovered by the smell
and the vomit that laudanum had
been given-Eow much I could not
!
We gave some ipecac as quickly as
possible and the thing was soon
made plain. The nurse had done it,
and in excuse said she wanted to go
to the wash place and help her grand
mother (and talk to farm hands, and
the restless little one Just wouldn't
go to sleep"
1t was a very close call and from
noon until sun up next morning II
was not decided whether the little
one would ever wake again--in life.
But the little boy pulled through
| and the nurse was sent home to
! her mother. and I resumed constant
nursing. as my part of the business
| for a good long time afterwards.
| remember also that my uncle had a
colored nurse for a little boy of two
! or more years, and the little one was
brought in one day very pale and
stupid after the nurse had been roll
| ing his baby carriage on the side
| walks of the town we lived in, and
| illness followed and also death
The family did not know for some
time after the little one had gone
away that the careless nurse had
| overturned the baby carriage and
| failed to tell that part of the story

acquaintance and the real cause of

as my plants are badly infested.
Lice on cabbage can be most eff
fectively destroyed by spraying them
To this end you might use one OF
several materials. Nicotine sulphate
might be applied at the rate of one
part of the extract to sixty parts
of water. You might also use any
good laundry soap at the rate OF
one pound to three gallons of water
Whale oil soap applied at the rate
of one pound to six gallons of water
will be effective.
In using these sprays it is of the
utmost Importance that they be care
fully prepared and so applied as tC
reach every part of the AFFECTED
plant. Sometimes the attack of this
insect causes the leaves to curl. In
that event the spraying does not
reach them and hence the lice are not
injured. Remember that the spray
must come directly in contact with
the lice to destroy them.
1t is very important that you pro-
tect your field from infestation by
making certain that the cabbage
plants when set out are free from
lice. You should also destroy weeds
or trash in Or about the garden as
they provide favorable alternating
places.

Soy Beans for Hay Production

I wish some information in re-

Would you recommend it for hay

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR.. ANDREW M. SOULE

! moist soils, it should be grazed
| heavily, but on dry soils, particularly
| in south Georgia, it should be pro-
| tected by light grazing. On rich
! soils, Bermuda makes a good growth
year after year, but on medium to
! poor soils, it becomes sod-bound and
| should be ploWed occasionally. "A
| gooG practice is to go over the pas
| ture with scooter in the early
| spring, blowing at intervals OF about
eighteen inches and following with
| harrow.
Lespedeza has a high place in all
| pasture mixtures because it grows
| with other plants so well. In clayey
| hills or moist bottoms it succeeds
in all mixtures and improves their
| fceuing value materially Some hogs
| are slow in learning to like les
pedeZa, but the majority OF them eat
it readily. It's worst faults are its
| lateness in the spring and It's IN
ability to grow during very dry
weather.
Carpet grass is found principally
| in southern Georgia and although 1t
does best on moist loWlands, 1t Will
succeed on some highlands that are
fertile and we'll packed. In feeding
value, carpet grass ranks below
| Bermuda grass, but from the stand
point of producing tender and non
/ woody pastures it eXcels Bermuda
grass. Carpet grass will stand very
heavy grazing, but is easily destroy
| ed If hogs are allowed to root 1t.
J Dalls grass is found most eX-
tensively in Georgia on the most fer
i tile soils of the northern part. 1t
| rarely succeeds on poor land. Dali1s
grass begins growth early in the
spring and furnishes grazing well
inte the fall. Its combined assets
make it a satisfactory permanent
, pasture for hogs, ranking with car
pet grass.
White clover is adapted to rich
moist lowlands mostly in north
Georgia. 1t is valuable in furnish
ing early spring and late fall graz
ing. 1t now occurs in many of the
permanent pastures and is gradually
spreading.
Other plants that can be used in
permanent pastures for hogs are but
clover, red top, Carolina and hop
clovers and Augusta vetch. Red top
requires moist land, fall seeding and
medium grazing. Carolina and hop
cloverS are volunteer growthS in
many pastures, but seed of neither is
available. Augusta Vetch will volun-
teer from year to year in heavy
growth if grazed carefully during
the seeding period All of these
plants are useful in furnishing early
spring grazing.

ficult to say which one is affecting
your crop without more data on which
to predicate an opinion. We are in
Clined to think from what you say
however, that it resembles the club
root" more than anything else. This
is a fungus introduced from Europe
and now spread over the greater part
of tbs United States. 1t appears to
thriV best on a rich warm soil which
retains moisture effectively. Seeding
plants affected by this parasite may
show a lack of vigor. Soon after
setting they become stunted and UNI
healthy in appearance and may grad
ually die. Very few of the plants
affected by this disease ever reach
maturity. This parasite attacks the
roots of the cabbage plants and even
tually gains entrance into the It's
sues. An examination of the roots
of the plants will frequently show
all sorts of abnormal swellings as
ISOLATED Herewith. Practically ali
members of the mustard family are
subject TO this disease.
No very effective method OF fight
ing this disease has been discovered
DIS yet. The best recommendation we
can offer is the use of lime at the
rate of 100 bushels per acre. The
lime may be applied, say once in
five years. The finely ground raw
lime rock will answer very well. You
can, of course. use Slaked builders
lime. 1T is of the utmost Importance
that all diseased plants be taken up
as carefully as possible and roots
and all burned. Do not throw them
on trash heaps or allow them to lie
on the ground and decay. Whenever
you do this it simply means that
millions of spores are left to propa-
gate and infest the ground more
thoroughly than ever before. All
trash and refuse from a crop which
shows evidence of disease should be
gathered up and burned.
