ATHENS, Ca. Jan. 10.-Farmers
be held by the Georgia State College
of Agriculture, January "a to 20.
1t will consist Of ten practical DEM
constructions which every Georgia
farmer will find useful on his own
| farm.
The work Of the school will be d.
vided into two parts, the direct and
indirect fight on the boil weevil. The
direct fight on the boil weevil is
made by planting an early variety
Of cotton and picking up fallen
squares and by the use of calcium
arsenate.
One Of the features Of the short
course this year will. be a big dem
onstration in busting with calcium
arsenate in which all successful and
improved types of hand and power
| busters will be demonstrated and
1 explained
The indirect fight on the boil wee
vii is possibly more important to
Georgia than the direct fight itself.
1t consists in a more diversified
farming and in the finding of the
new money crops we'll adapted in
the state along this line.
! There will be demonstrations in
the killing and curing of the farm
meat supply, production, finishing
and grading a lot Of market hogs;
another demonstration in the judging 6
of beef and dairy cattle. This will
be in the form of contest open to
the members of the farmers course
only, and suitable prizes will be
awarded the winner.
Demonstrations will be given on
pastures and forage crops, in soil
fertility problems. in the spraying
pruning and the care of the home
orchard, in the estimation of timber
on the farm wood lot and its care
and also there will be a big tractor
demonstration in which number OF
tractors will be demonstrated and ex-
planned.

New-York tribune., 1921-06-19
BY James Sanderson
OF Cement Finish Company

In my opinion, the following items of
Importance in connection with cement
finish work are often neglected.
Too often the dirt floor of cellar is
coated over with about half inch of
cement mortar. This floor will crack
within a few months, letting dust and
dampness into the house.
The cellar floor should be laid as
follows: After the earth is levelled
up, lay four inches of concrete, mixed
with one part Portland cement, two
parts sand and fve parts of three
quarter inch broken stone. Gravel or
hard coal cinders may replace the
three-quarter inch broken stone if local
conditions warrant it. Before the con-
crete is hard, one inch top of cement
finish, mixed one part cement and two
parts clean sharp sand, should be ap-
piled, then foated with wood float to
bring level and trowelled with steel
trowel at least twice, giving a hard,
durable surface. This may be blocked
off in three or four squares if desired.
Guard Against Dampness
In case Of dampness an integral
waterproofing compound may be added
to the cement finish. The cost of this
material is only few cents per square
foot and the extra labor involved is a
small item. If water is found when
excavation is made, the cement finish,
with waterproofing compound incor-
porated in it, may be turned up on
inside face of exterior wall to height
conditions make. necessary. The wall
coating should be applied in two coats
each three-eighth inch thick to total
thickness of three quarter inch. If
this work is installed by reputable
contractor, q watertight cellar will be
obtained. This is something that every
house owner appreciates in the spring,
water is seeking an outlet.
On the outside of the house use con-
crete steps to the yard. These should
be built in good substantial manner
to avoid settling and cracking, and if
soil is unsettled a few steel rods should
be embedded in the concrete. The YER
tical surfaces of stairs, called treads,
should have q cement finish similar to
that used for the cellar floor. The walls
at the sides Of the stairs may be of
concrete or brick and top may be fin
ished off with concrete to initiate stone.
Hints on Exterior Work
Exterior work must be of a different
construction to withstand climatic con-
ditions. The yards, paths, walks, etc,
should be excavated twelve inches deep
Lay cinders to within five inches of
finished level, then install concrete and
finish similar to cellar.
In exterior work the cinder fill will
prevent the earth under the concrete
from freezing. In the spring when the
frost is coming out of the ground the
earth cracks and heaves; the cinders
act as a cushion and relieve the stress

By Edwin A. Jackson

Whenever there is threatened cpl
demic the Board of Health treasures
the residents Of New York that the
safety of our city lies in our pure
water supply, in the healthful breezes
that sweep the city and in the cleanli-
ness of the bodies and homes of New
York's population.
All germs and all insects that arc
harmful to human beings have their
original home in decayng matter or in
stagnant pools.
The family that enjoys comfort and
health lives in the house which is kept
absolutely clean. And this is most
easily secured in the house which IS
built with no hiding places for vermin.
A serious menace to the househol
lies in the garbage pail. This attracts
reaches, flies and rats, all Of which
spread disease and are not only dis
agreeable but are also an actual dan
ger to our families.
1t is neither difficult nor expensive
to have the garbage can either in a
recess in the wall or where there is

house buried under ground
In either case. the contents are Sc

well as being protected against

on the concrete, preventing cracking in
the surface of the work.
The porch floors may be laiI on
earth, same construction as walks, or
it may be laid over wood forms. In
the latter method the carpenter lays
in wood floor between the floor joists
or beams. This roughing is kept down
to allow about three inches of con
crete, and then the one-inch top is
applied, as described above.
If waterproof floor that is pleasing
to the eye is desired an imitation red
tile floor may be obtained as follows:
After the cement finish is laid, but be-
fore it becomes hard, sprinkle sixty
pounds of mixture of cement and red
metallic hardener( thirty pounds OF
cement and thirty pounds of hardeneyl
over each 100 square feet of floor sur
face. This red finish may be ruled in
squares. The joints between the
squares may be made wide by the use
of the proper too, and the joints filled
with black asphalt or black cement.
The Kitchens, pantry. hearths or
toilets may have similar tile effect, but
the concrete underneath will require
the wood foundations as mentioned for
porches.
The cement finish may be turned up
on walls to form a cement base in
rooms, porches, etc.
Cement Grows Hard With Age
Imitation stone window and door
sills, front steps, chimney caps, etc,
may be cast in cement. This is cheaper
than stone, particularly when an irreg-
ular shape is required.
Concrete has beea used for hundreds
Of years. Bridges in Europe which
were thought to be stone were found
to be cement upon closer examination
The great advantage of concrete is that
when properly installed it grows
stronger with age

which may be heated to a very high
degree under the direct rays of the sun
on summer day. Unless this heated
air has free circulation it will trans
NIT Its heat to the rooms below. For
tins reason ventilators should be placed
IN all locations where they are re-
pockets.
The simplest form of ventilator is a
louvred opening cut in the end walls
OF such spaces as near to the rafters
as possible, and these louvres arc usu-
ally all that is required.
Having all these requirements in
mind, it is reasonably simple to obtain
house which is cool in summer and
warm in winter and where no leaks oc.
cur to damage the interior painted and
decorated surfaces. Neglect of these
conslderations usually is certain to
