My brother hung his head and said:

Wet shoes would tell of wilful dis

to stay from school because lessons
have been neglected or rules broken.

excuses to keep them at home.
The compulsory law is good, but
there are so many officers who are
not enforcing it. The law that a
child must be over fourteen to be
exempt is not enough. Make them
also graduates of the grades. Let
the certificate tell both facts before
the child can qualify for any job

SOWING COVER CROPS IN CORN
AND COTTON

B. r., Gainesville, Ga, writes:
Please give me information on
sowing rye, hairy vetch and
crimson clover on land that is
they be sown before the corn is
gathered? How much seed of
each should be used? also wish
information in regard to apply
ing raw ground limestone. Where
can I have this material tested?
Rye, hairy vetch and crimson
clover can all be soWn together if
you consider this plan desirable. In
our experience it has proven good
pounds Of hairy vetch and 10 pounds
of crimson clover. The crimson Glow
er gives bottom to the mixture. The
hairy vetch climbs UP on the rye
and thus obtains desirable medium
of support. The combination crop
is rich in nutrients and makes a
very excellent hay. There is no bet
under for the enrichment of the
land. Our idea would be to Craze
an area of this crop down as COM
pletely as possible and then turn
the balance under. The land in
your section of the state should pre-
sumably be turned not later than the
first of April; probably by the 18th

would give you anywhere from so to
80 days grazing. If you get these
crops in the soil early enough in
the fall and the season is relatively
dry you may get some pasturage dur
ing December. To Craze red lands
in wet weather, however, is inju-
rious not only to the soil but to the
crop as we'll.
AS rule we seed vetch and rye
in open burrows between our cotton
rows. Sometimes We put two rows
and at other times three rows. A
good deal depends on the spacing of
the cotton. Too thick planting is
to be ~voided. You could not plant
crimson clover seed in the manner
indicated, as it would be buried too
deep. On the other hand, it could
be scattered over the cotton land
and covered into the soil with a
shallow urface-working cu1tivator,
which may be run between the cot
ton rows. The same method of plant
ing it in corn may be followed. We
do not think you would obtain very
good results from planting rye and
hairy vetch on corn land before the
crop has been harvested. In some
seasons it might be good practice,
but our best results in growing these
crops after corn have followed the
cross disking or blowing of the land.

FORSAKEN GIRL.
Frankly, I believe the young
man you like SO well has found
some other method of entertain
ing himself, the reason he hasn t
written to you. Distance lends
enchantment' when one is truly
in love-otherwis the old saying
that "out of sight. out of mind,
is all too true" I'm afraid the
young man has allowed himself
to be beguiled, by another of the
"fair sex" either that or his
studies are so strenuous he
hasn't time for letter writing.
Waste not your time on him but
make hay while the sun shines.

Just now there are many Wom-

tell you what to do. 1t seems
such a pity your father loses his
temper so easily. 1t does him no

work. One cannot turn out good
work when the nerves are shot to
pieces, and being fused at don't
help things along.
You might try canvassing for

meantime do not worry over the
conditions too much; but i'm
prove all you can in your work.
1t may be Of great benefit to you
later.
You must be very nervous and
rundown if your hair is thinning
out. Bodied hair is very attrac-
tive on some girls; it looks SIM
ply awful on others. Brush the
hair well, twice a month rub the

ger tips. Don't wash it often, but
brush it and air it each day.
Washing the hair often Weakens
the roots and oil ducts.
L am a girl sixteen years of age
and in love with boy nineteen years
old. He has been coming to see me
for almost a year and doesn't go with

better than anyone he ever saw. DO
you think he really cares for me, or
is just fooling me? He wants to hug
and kiss me every time he is with
me, and I tell him it isn't right to
hug and kiss unless we were en-
gagged to marry. He says no other
boy can go with me as long as he
still go with him If he were tc go

There are other counties no doubt
| which are growing some tobacco, and
presumably vary considerably from
| those presented in this letter. The
data sent, however, will likely be suf-
ficiently accurate to meet your needs.
In a general way I might say that
tobacco is grown in from forty to fif-
mately $4,000 acres of land. The area
will change and expand somewhat
next year if the boil weevil continues
his depredations, and thereby cuts
down the yield Of cotton.
The price of tobacco is not good,
however, just now, and this may pre-
vent the farmers from extending
LllSlI dCISdSS uSNOlGu 10 IIllS crop.
We are supposed to have grown about
10000 acres of tobacco in 1919. The
average price at that time was about
20 cents, and the crop sold for about
S2,250,000.
We grow a very excellent quality
of tobacco in Georgia. We have soils
admirably adapted for it's production
on very extensive scale. We can
also secure very satisfactory yields
in this state. Liberal fertilization
with high-grade formula is desir-
able for this crop. In many instances
an S-3-3 formula used at the rate of
SOC to 1900 pounds per acre will be
found most desirable. The pebble
lands of south Georgia should receive
500 pounds and upward, while poor
sandy lands will require 1000 pounds
and Upward.
Dried blood, cottonseed meal and
fish scrap are all good sources Of am
monia for this crop. Sulphate Of am
monia is good source of nitrogen.
A fertilizer containing a liberal per-
centage of nitrogen derived from
several sources will likely prove more
satisfactory than the use Of a formu-
la in which all Of this element is
supplied from one source

that she cares for me? Once asked
to see her home from party; she
refused me and went with another
fellow, so l don't know what to think
of this, for she has told me that

do you think she loves me. [ will
be glad for any advice you can give
me, THOMAS X.
1t seems rather strange the
young lady in question does not
care to have you call on her at
her home. Especially so when
she has told you she loved you.
Tell her plainly you do not
care to be treated in such man

her at her home, and if she will
not let you do the proper thing,

Cover Crops for the Peach
Orchard

cover Crops for the Peach
Orchard
A. c. F., Macon, Ga, writes:
1 have a peacN orchard two years
old. The first year cotton and
peas were planted between the
rows of trees. Last year we
planted crimson clover, which
vas turned under in May and
the land was then planted in
peas. Some of the vines will be
cut for hay and the balance
turned under. We are then think
ing of planting the orchard in
bur clover. When would you adj
wise seeding the bur clover, and
should the trees be worked
around for some distance?
Bur clover could be planted in a
peach orchard for the purpose you
have in mind. This is an annual
clover, as you doubtless know, and
Is hard to establish on most of our
lands. 1t winter kills sometimes over
q good part of the state and wiz
disappear altogether If subjected to
hard grazing, especially during the
spring. 1t passes through the aver
age winter unframed and furnishes
a good deal Of grazing in the spring.
1t also reseedS itself in April and
May, so that the middles between
the peach trees could then be broken
turned under to insure the clover S
establishing itself another year. 1t
seems to US this would be good prac-
tice.
Our observation is that many of
the peach orchards in Georgia are
not sufficiently well supplied with
nitrogen. OF course, one can overdo
the use of this element, but as it is
the most expensive TO purhase and
one of the most essential in sue
cessful peach production, we are in
clined to think that the more Of
1t which can be supplied from the
use of leguminous crops the larger
will be the relative profits of the
orchardist.
If you undertake to use bur clover
plant the seed in the burs and sow
Immediately Cover the seed into the
soil as rapidly as possible. Seeding
In drills is an advantage in the mat
ter Of saving seed and insuring a
more uniform stand. When bur clover
is broadcasted you should sow about
six bushels of the burs. If planted IN
rows about four bushels will answer.
If the hulled seed is used, much
smaller quantity will do. Where
hulled seed is planted, it is generally
necessary to inoculate the land.
When planting in the burs inocula-
ton is not necessary.
Your orchard will no doubt look
rather ragged and unkempt during
the spring months If you seed bur
clover and secure a good stand. There
is no reason, however, why you
should not fertilize the trees as IN
years past and work about them
with implements which will stir the
soil very lightly, but still keep 1t
free Of weeds and trash. After the
clover has reseeded itself you can
then plow it under and work the
land as a fallow during the sum-
mer.
