SATSUMAS AND
HOW TO BUD
AND GROW
THEM
County Agent o. G.. Price
Tells a Lot Of Things
You Should Know
ST. TAMMANY SOIL
RIGHT FOR GROWTH
How to Grow Trifoliata for
Stock, Treatment of
Diseases, Etc.
(By o. G. Price, County Agent

(By -. ". Prlce, County Agent)
The Satsuma trees are at home in
the soils and climate of St. Tam.
many parish because they are budd-
ed on a hardy root stock, the citrus
trifoliata. This root stock, the tri-
foliata, is at home in our cutover
pine lands that have sandy, silly
soil, rather light in color and a light
yellowish crumbly clay subsoil This
tree is very hardy and can live and
produce some fruit in the wild state
That is, it is found growing wild as
the pine, oak, etc, yet it responds
well to good cultivation, fertilizer
and treatment. Root diseases have
not done harm to this shrub in this
parish. The disease and insects
that attacks the trunk, branches,
foliage and fruit are very easily con-
.trolled.
The Satsuma is propagated by
budding on this citrus trifoliata root
(mock orange or hedge orange)
stock because it will grow, yield
fruit, etc., in our climate and the
majority of our farms where the
drainage is good enough to prevent
the roots from becoming water
soaked.
The oranges of the trifoliata are
gathered as they ripen in October,
November and December. The
oranges are opened and the seeds
are squeezed from the orange into
the soil. The oranges average forty
seeds each. The seeds may be taken
from the oranges as they decay but
the seed should not be permitted to
become dry enough to crumble nor
should the oranges be placed in SO
great bulk that they will heat
enough to kill the germ of the. seed
II the seeds become dry and crumble
they will not germinate.
The soil for the trifoliata should
be prepared as for setting straw
berries or planting of any small
garden seed. plant in rows about
IL to feet apart, planting the
seed very thick, say about IA to 1-2
inch apart in the row. When the
seeds are in the row cover them
about l to 1-2 inches deep. A lit
tie cotton seed meal and acid phos-
phate mixed well in the soil before
planting the seeds assists the plants
in their growth and development.
When the plants are up, weed and
cultivate them just as one would a
vegetable garden. AS the trees
grow to a height, of 8 or 4 inches
they are trensplanted to rows 3 feet
apart and set inches apart in the
row. Here they stand until they
are as large in diameter as a lead
pencil when they are budded with
the satsuma buds and then cut down
just above the bud, after the bud
has been in the plant ten days.

and cooks, and automobiles, but surely we
might also entertain a passing thought that
these purely personal subjects are of int lest
only to ourselves.
The outside world does not care a WhoOp
about our personal affairs unless they are OF
scandalous nature. Nobody wants to hear
the stories of our lives. Nobody cares wheth-
er our daughters are bellies or wall flowers
at parties, or whether our sons make their
classes in college or not. Still less does any
one want to hear of the smart things our
infant prodgies say and do.
Then why should we not cut it out when
we realize that we ere falling into the bad
habit of talking about our children and our
selves? What boredom we should save our
acquaintance! What lies and deceit we
should preserve our friends from, who stifle
their yawns behind their haLds and try to
look interested as we maunder on and on
with the dreary annals of our households!
Another bad mental habit that we fall into
is that of interfering in other peoples af,
fairs. This is the besettiag vice of age, and
it behooVes us to 7atch out for the first
symptom of this deadly habit as we grow
older.
Every family has in it the chronic inter
ferer. You cannot rise up or sit down, or eat
or fast, or sleep or wake, or walk or ride, or
read book or put on a garment, or do any sim
gle thing on earth that the 1nterferer does
not want to know why you didn't do it the
other way, and involve you in long explana-
tions and arguments.
There is no other one thing that would dc
so much to promote domestic harmony
make happy homes, and prevent divorce as
for us to break ourselves of the habit of but
ting into the purely personal affairs of those
with whom we live For the eternal nag
ging that makes most homes a hell on earth
is nothing but silly habit founded on 6
tyrannical spirit.
Most wives don't really care whether theil
husbands smoke or not, or whether they
wear plaid necktie or striped one. MOI
do husbands care whether their wives go tt
picture shows, or w : blue or pink dresses
Nor do parents really consider it a matter o!
importance whether their children do any one
o. hundred things they are forbidden to do
It is just that husbands and wives, and par
ents have formed tn bad mental habit of In
terfering in matters that do not concern
them, and they ignore the fact that the one
thing that is most precious in all the worle
to each of us is our individual liberty. Give
us that, and we will forgive any other Of
Tense towards us.
Let's all take careful survey Of oul
mental habits, and cure ourselves of the baC
ones.

A Call to the Legislature 5
Sense of Right and Humanity
r was sixty-five years ago that great and
noble Georgian, Governor Howell Cobb,

r. was sixty-five years ago that great and
noble Georgian, Governor Howell Cobb,
declared in a message to the General
Assembly: "The State cannot be consider
ed to have done her duty until she has made
suitable provision for every insane person in
her midst
It is the pity and the humiliation of to-
day that with vastly larger resources and
more imperative needs Georgia still lags far
behind that enlightened and humane ideal.
In the drift of the ensuing decades the world
has come to see the social problem of the in
sane more and more truly; has come to I'M
iderstand that failure to care for the mental
ly i'll is an even graver wrong than neglect of
the sick in body, and that society dare not,
as it values its interests and reverences its
conscience, slight this urgent province of its
duty. Yet, how grievously short Of the
higher standard does Georgia fall
Consider single instance. In the depart
ment for white female patients in the State
Sanitarium at Milledgeville, small rooms
originally designed for one "are occupied by
two, three and ofttimes four patients; and,
even so, some must sleep on the floor" This
is not rumor, but the official statement of
the president of the institutions board of
intolerable situation" he adds, with which
the management long has struggled, and the
State should allow it to exist further"
The remedy for this particular i'll is simple.
A building under construction, to serve
as home for the nurses, requires one hun
dred and eight thousand dollars for it's COM
pletion. When it is ready for occupation the
quarters now used by the nurses will be va
Gated, and thus can be provided the room SO
desperately, so ptiably needed for female pa
tients. Surely, the Legislature will not hest
tate to provide funds to meet such situa-
ton!
Further, the 5anitariums ice and cold
storage plant, originally of ten-ton capacity,
is worn out to the extent that it now pro-
duces only about four tons, which amount is
far below the needs. Think of a hospital
without ice! Moreover, the last appropria-
lions for the Sanitarium were so inadequate
that there is a current and forthcoming def
cheney of some one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars. Reduced maintenance, as Mr..
Brantley points out, made severe measures
of economy imperative" $50 that much hard
ship to patients and to counties has necessa-
rily followed" There can be no question that
this condition of affairs should be relieved ere
it reaches a crisis in which the State will
stand convicted of downright inhumanity.
The Journal joins President Brantley and the
board Of trustees in appealing most earnest
ly to the members of the House and the Sen
ate mot to cripple this great charity by fail
ure to supply its pressing needs

the ceremony. Unfortunately, he came upon
another church. where another wedding was
in prospect MechGl ically he turned in, took
his place among the guests, still murmuring

It is pleasant to read further that his

THE CHRISTIAN CONCEPTION
OF EDUCATION
BY PRESIDENT RUFUS w. WEAVER,
or Mercer University in the Current
Number of The Christian
Index.

IN DUCATION is a process the object of
n. which is to direct Alright all human
thinking. Its realm includes two
fields: One of fact, the other of appreciation.
When education is limited solely to the
realm of fact it takes the form of impartng
information When education includes the
realm of appreciation then the knowledge
of all facts, whatever may be their kind or
character, is so impaired to the student as to
make surer for him the meaning of the uni
verse and thus to quicken within him the
conviction that every duty must be perform
ed because he lives in moral universe over
which there ever reiPns holy and righteous
God.
The peril of science in the field of educa-
tion is not so much in it's theories as in it's
tendency to exclude everything except the
physical facts under consideration. True
education seeks to develop in the student the
purpose to Use all the knowledge which he
has acquired regarding the facts of life so as
to express more fully and more perfectly his
appreciation Of all that is true, beautiful and
good; for out of his appropriations are the is
sues of life. The culture of true and holy
appropriations is fal more important than
tho mere acquisition Of collected and system
atized facts
The school which is free to encourage and
to develop the appreciation of that which
is best in life is the school where the truest
education can be So cured. The institution
which gives pre-eminence to the apprecia-
lions of Jesus Christ as revealed in the New
Testament and which is able to inspire stu
dents to think in harmony with his divine
mind, provides for the next generation the
men and the women who are destined to be-
come 1.-The salt of the earth and 'the light
of the world"
The Baptists of Georgia have built and are
now supporting group of schools which are
imparting the type of education in which the
process and the goal CT learning have their
inspiration in a faithful appreciation of
Jesus Christ To these schools all and
far-seeing parents who appreciate the truest
and the best education, will choose to send
their children.
