THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. w. H. FELTON,

ture-and the help to production
amounts to about 33 cents per cap
ita, but the army requires 1920 per
capuita-$3.70 for the navy, $2.4O for
pensions and $11 per capita for the
interest on our war debt and the
sinking fund that is obliged to come
to meet it. Just compare this outgo
with the aid the federal government
is giving to the production of the
country. (There are more than $780,
600 disabled soldiers from the World
war that are now being paid nearly
S175 per month just at this crises.)
And again, we are being taxed
right now on debts that were con-
tracted at enormous figures-and
millions, yes, billions of what was
bought at those cruelty eXtravagant
figures, is worth very little to any
body at this present time. We are
taxed on debts that are enough to
bankrupt a less solid nation than
our own.
We spend less on the department
of agriculture than we spend on a
single battleship-just one of those
great vessels-that German sub
marine could send to the bottom Of
the ocean inside of thirty minutes.
And we still continue to build (and
to finish building) these enormous
battleships! Oh! the wasted money!
Oh! when will we be able to con-
vince the authorities That this enOr-
nous expense must be curtailed? We
are grinding ourselves down with
taxes to continue war preparations
and we are training hundreds OF
thousands of our young men for
slaughter, rather than the nobler
activities Of business anG education
on the line of making the world hap
pier with the arts of peace.
The mothers of this country should
wake up to the seriousness of oul
situation. If their vote is rightly
appreciated and used for the good OF
our nation, this curtailment of wal
expenses should materialize, very
soon. 1t is necessity to stop! AL
these questions are self-answering
Granting that war might come from
invasion, and granting that every ma
ton should promptly rise up to repe
invasion, still the fact remains thai
all these billions spent for military
equipment is money absolutely taker
away from the nations producing
capital. It is money sunk for dam
age and ruin. Let us not forget thai
great ornaments do not insure vic
tory to nations History tells an
other story.
Germany is a case in point. This
country cannot follow Germany
steps without ending up where Ger,
many was so soon made to stop anC
to end. We seem to be initiating al
these things, and more than that
impoverishing ourselves as nation
to follow these bad examples so late
ly exposed to our view.

Inside Of fifteen days from this
writing We will see the members OF
the legislature hurrying to the state
capitol in Atlanta to begin another
term of service, under the direction
Of a new governor and his new ad-
ministration and officials.
The people became so worn down
with heavy taxation and the flood OF
extravagant appropriations that made
the last Legislature so unpopular they
will give close attention to the &C
tions of the next general assembly

the oath of Office on June 25.

the time will soon arrive when the

economy in neceSsaries will fit the

or go to smash. If the drastic tax
equalization law, in full force, can
not provide sufficient money to fur
nish the fripperieS, not to mention
the follies, of a sovereign state,
hopelessly in debt, we must decide
on one of two things, namely, change
the method to common-sense plan
or move to another section, where
there is less expected of the taxpay-
ers and more intelligence in the use
of the peoples money by its officials.
1t is just preposterous to go on
deeper in debt, paying out millions
of borrowed money, and Fastening
the day of final Judgment.
Grown men should do better than
foolish children in public matters.
Otherwise something is certain to
drop.

Tax Assessors Busy
In Wilkinson County

IRWINTON. Ga, June 16.-The
tax assessors of Wilkinson ,coun-
ty, Messrs. r. L. Stubs. chair
man; J. T. Davidson and T: H.
Hardie, together with Lawrence
Butts as clerk. have now begun their
annual work. Most of those giving
in their property this year are doing
so at lower valuations than last year.
However. the assessors are giving
the same valuation to the land, that
is, four dollars per acre as a min
imuIn.
Last year the assessed valuation Of
the property Of the county outside
of the public service corporations
was little over three million dol
lars, the largest valuation in the his
tory of the county. This valuation
was made possible by the large num-
Der Of kaolin and bauxite mines with
their expensive crushing plants, and
the large paper mill at Gordon, the
Pinetree Paper company. 1t is not
expected that there will be a great
reduction in the aggregate value of
the taxable property, and the lowered
rate of taxation will be most likely
made by the board of county COM

Easy Now to Rid
Your Farm of Rats
Wonderful Discovery by Noted
Scientist Kills Every Rat With
In a Weeks Time-Not a
Poison.

Rats cost farmers over two hundred mil
lions of dollars a year, through the destruc-
ton of grains, poultry and buildings Farm
ers need no longer suffer this loss because
they can now kill off all the rats on their
farm in less than a weeks time. This is
possible through the remarkable discovery
of E. r. Alexander. a Kansas City chemist,
who has perfected a virus which kills rats,
mice and gophers as though By magic. This
product is not a poison--it can be eaten by
human beings or any animal on the farm as
safely as their regular food, but means
quick, sure death to rats.

apart. The fall production of pole
beans is not for northern markets,
but for home and local use. Some
good varieties are Kentucky Wonder
and McCasland.
There are two sorts of the 1lmas,
the pole and the dwarf. The pole
lima is excellently adapted to north
Georgia. Plant in the spring after
the soil has been thoroughly warmed
up. Rows should be four feet apart
feet in the row. The dwarf lima
should be planted in rows with
plants every eight to ten inches.
Bean anthracnose, or pod sot, is
a fungus which appears as dark col
ored spots and sunken areas on stems
and pods as we'll as leaves. Spots on
the pods, however, are much more
Of the plant. The varieties Of the
wax bean seem to be more suscepti-
BILE than the others, while the lima
beans appear to be resistant: The
fungus is carried largely through
the, agency of diseased seed. Clean
culture and the removal from the
field of all diseased stems and stalks
and the use of good seed are the
methods by which this trouble can
be controlled to some extent.
The common bean-weevil is the
principal enemy of the bean. In the

known of preventing injury in the

must be applied to the insects IN

sulphide of carbon is the remedy
mostly relied upon. When ready to
plant, seed should be thrown l1ghtly

and destroyed.
The bean leaf beetle is a species
which occurs throughout the United
States but has been chiefly injurious
in the middle and southern states.
They are small, yellowish or reddish
beetles, marked with black spots,
from one-seventh to one-fiftieth inch
long. They usually become quite nu-
merous before they are observed, but
during most Of the day they rest or
feed on the under sides Of the leaves.
They are sluggish and seldom fly
and, when disturbed, often drop to
the ground, though they soon crawl
back on the plant. Large round holes
are eaten in the foliage until finally
nothing but the vines and midrib Of
a leaf is left.
Spraying with arSenical poi3ons is
the most effective means OF con-
trolling this pest. For making small
quantities, use one-half ounce of ar
senate of lead, two ounces of lime
and one gallon Of water. Soap added
will help the mixture to adhere better
to the leaves.
