pear in considerable numbers. We
10 not think you should use it, of
course, before the squares begin to
set on. Then make the applica-
tions say three or four days apart,
and make them as many as three or
four days in succession. The idea
is to try to kill out as completely
as possible one brood Of the weevils.
This gives them a setback and gives
the cotton a chance to set on and
develop a very considerable number
Of bolls before further depredations
become serious. If this can be &C.
complished and you can continue the
throughout the remainder of the
season you should be able to make
fair crop Of cotton.
There is a great deal to be learn
ed about the application of calcium
arSenate. 1t is useless to turn this
material over to an ignorant negro
and expect him to apply it salts
factorily. There is only one way to
apply it, and that is as a fine dust
spray. This should be put on early
in the morning, or when the dew
is on the plants. Calcium arsenate
is the only material with which I
am acquainted that is likely to
prove of service to the farmers of
Georgia in combating the boil weevi1.
The government has spent a great
deal Of money at Tallulah, La, in
investigating the use Of calcium
arsenate. I suggest that you write
to the director Of the Tallulah EX-
pertinent Station and ask him to
furnish you with a copy of his
latest publication relative to the
use of calcium arsenate.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR.. ANDREW NJ SOULE ~~~~~.->,

when a square or boil is attacked
and falls to the ground its exposure
to few hours Of hot sunshine will
effectively destroy many Of the lar
vac it contains.
These are about the only changes
we are in position to suggest at this
time relative to the spacing Of the
cotton crop.
Handling Milk in the Summer Time
J. M. Newman, Ga, writes: L
wish some advice in regard to
my cow. When the milk is ready
to clabber it just turns to whey,
and when it is churned it does
not look like buttermilk, and all
settles to the bottom Of the yes
sci and is not fit to use. The
COW has a good appetite, but is
thin. I would be glad if you
can tell me what is the trouble
and a remedy for the same.
Troubles such as you are exper-
fencing with your milk are not un-
common, and they generally arise
from the invasion Of the milk glands
Of the COW or some Of the utensils
used by an undesirable form Of bac-
terra ferment. This trouble is diff
cult to overcome, because one can
never tell the source from which
the invasion arises. A persistent cam
paign, in which hot water and the
scrubbing brush are extensively
used, will often enable one to control
this trouble.
In the first place, would begin
by cleaning up the stable and white
washing it. If there is litter in the
stalls and about the COW lot, remove
this. Wash off the under of the
cow and see that she does not have
access to low grounds or sWampy
places. The hands of the mixer
should be carefully washed. The
udder, of course, should be oiled from
time to time to prevent it's chatting.
Strip the udder out very thoroughly
when the milking is done. Boil all
the milk utensils for several hours.
Place them in the direct rays of
the sun during the hottest part of
the day, and in place which is free
from dust. If you have been using
cloths to wash or cleanse the dairy
utensils throw them away and Sc
cure good, stiff brush. Be care
full to clease all the seams and han
die sockets. We have had trouble
of this kind occasionally and, our
method of controlling it has been es-
sentially that described. We have
never failed to secure results through
lnstituting and carrying forward a
campaign Of the kind indicated.
You should see that your cow has
some green feed whenever it is pos
sible to provide her with the same
Perhaps you have AL area of cereals
on which she can Craze. Give her as
varied ration as possible. If you
are feeding cottonseed hulls exclu-
sively cut these out of the ration
for a little while and feed only wheat
bran, with the alfalfa hay. Feed
your COW regularly and see that she
is we'll supplied with water. We have
had a long period Of damp, dark
weather with a super abundant rain
fall. This always favors the devel-
opment of troubles such as you de-,

I don't know who is busiest at
this season, the farmer or the farm
er's wife. In the fields the work is
calling for every man, woman and
child, and at the house there is
work enough for two or three.
If the gardens are not carefully
looked after and worked, weeds and
bugs will make them worthless; the
setting of hens, baby chicks and
those that are in their first feath-
ers must be watched and fed. Spas
modic attention does not pay in the
garden or poultry yard any better
than it does in the fields. Then
there is the butter and milk, calves
and pigs. 1t is such an easy thing

all lice and mites leave them. The tablets
also act as a tonic conditioner. The health
Of the fowls quickly improves, they grow
faster and the egg yield frequently is
doubled. Little chicks that drink freely of
the water never will be bothered by mites or
lice.
The method is especially recommended for
raisers of purebred stock, as there is no risk
of soiling the plumage. The tablets are
warranted to impart no flavor or odor to the
eggs and meat. This remarkable conditioner,
egg tonic and lice remedy costs only trifle
and is sold under absolute guarantee.
The tablets are scientifically prepared, per-
fectly safe, and dissolve readily in water.
Any reader of this paper may try them
without risk. The laboratories producing
Paratabs are so confident Of good results
that to introduce them to every poultry
raiser they offer two big 81 packages for
only 81. Send no money, just your name and
address, card will do-to the Paratab
fabora tories, Dept. S32, HOO Coca Cola
Bldg, Kansas City. Mo-. and the two 81
packages, enough for 100 gallons of water,
will be mailed. Pay the postman 81 and
postage on delivery, and if you are not de-
lighted with results in 10 days-if your
chickens are not healthier, laying more
eggs and entirely free from lice and mites
YOUR money will be promptly refunded.

Francis M, Bishop, of Salt
Lake City, Tells of Thrilling
Experience Party Had in
Navigating Stream

SALT LAKE CITY.-Last survivor
of the Powell expeditions through the
Colorado river canyons, Francis M
Bishop, of Salt Lake, is eager to see
the seven basin states form a COM
pact for unified use Of the stream
which he helped map in 1870.
Such a proposal is now before the
Colorado river commission, headed
by Herbert Hoover, secretary of
commerce, looking toward speedy de-
velopment Of agriculture and power.
When Major J. w. Powell, of the
United States geological survey and
his party braved the wild river in
small boats, it was thought impas-
sable. Tradition had it run under
ground for miles, and the Indians
peopled it with grisly phantoms.
""These tales" said Bishop in re-
counting his adventures, "cost the
life of three men in the first party
and appalled, even the intrepid
Powell.
THE 1869 party of nine men had
reached the great south bend Of the
Grand Canyon where the stream APP
parently disappeared into the chasm
wall Powell held a parley, and aft
err calling for volunteers determined
to go ahead.
1.-THE Harland brothers and Will
liam Bell, trappers, refused the risk.
There were hard words, taunts Of
cowardice and threatened gun play.
Only men tested by hard adventure
can apprC ciate the tension Of the
occasion.
THE boats, provisions and instru-
ments were divided and signals ar
ranged in case of survival. Powell
and his hardies showed off, straight
for destruction, it seemed, but the
rapids veered sharp from the cliff
as he had surmised, so that a few
moments brought them to smoothe
water again a mile below.
Signals were fired for days, and
attempts made to scale the walls.
but to no avail. Powell continued
on to the mouth Of the Virgin, and
thence to Washington overland.
Months later he learned that the
trio had reached a Shevwitz Indian
village where they told of having
run the Colorado in river ponies
A renegade Colorado buck caused
| their death in ambuscade when he
persuaded the Shevwitz that no Iiv-
| ing creature could negotiate the rap
| ids and that the whites had come
to steal their squaws.
"Thus unfounded tradition took
it's toll.
"And, similarly, ungrounded fears
of water shortage and state jeaI-
ousies may take their economic toll

Getting Something

Entering a grocery store in a
great hurry, a man walked up to a
clerk and asked for five pounds of
butter. The butter was prepared
for carriage, and the man, taking it,
started for the door. The clerk

Here, mister, you didn't pay me
for the butter"
Alphabetically, the man return

so sorry to make you extra trouble,
but it wasn't butter 7 wanted! My
wife asked me to bring her home
twenty-five pounds of sugar. I don't

The clerk returned the butter to

Hugo SHINES Effects Merger
of Vast Industrial Interests
Without Watering Any of
the Stock
BY MILTON BRONNER


BERLIN, May 25.-One after
noon Hugo SHINES, the business
colossus Of Germany, en- route from
his home in Mulheim to Berlin,
spent the time on the train reading
| his favorite light literature-the
| financial reports of big German cor
| pOrations.
The oane he had in his hand was
| that of the Siemens and Halske
| Schuckert concern. 1t is one Of the
two great industrial electrical trusts
Of Germany. Its history is the typi-
| cal German one of law protected
| and approved successful combina-
ton of big successful corporations
into super business. In this it re-
sembles the manner, in which
SHINES himself combined all his
various coal and iron enterprises
with those Of others and brought
into being the vast Rhine-Elbe
union.
"Himme1!' SHINES is reported to
have said to his secretary after look
! ing over the figures of the electrical
trusts report. Those people use a
vast lot of coal, iron and steel in a
years time. And they can't ever
be sure of their supply. Why not
build a new combination, a trust OF
trusts, bigger than anything Ger
many has ever SEEM"
He Acts Quickly
With SHINES to think, to dream,
| is to act. He got into touch with
the electrical concern. He showed
them how his coal and iron and
steel. added to their technical skill
and inventions and patents, would
make a more successful business
| than before.
It was not long before he brought
about a combine Of the Rhine-Elbe
union and the Siemens and Halske
| Schuckert concern. It is known as
the Siemens-Rhine-E lbe Schuckert
union. It is so big it makes one dizzy
to contemplate it's size and its multi
farious activities. It has a capitaliZa-
ton of about a billion marks. And
there is very little if any water in
this.
Therein it differs from our gigan-
tic trusts. This German capitaliza-
ton is honestly represented by ac-
tual properties in superabundance.
The agreement SHINES drew up
locks these united concerns together
until the year 1000, all of which
shows that SHINES is building for a
long time ahead, for a time when
he hopes Shines grandsons will be
Industrial princes in a Germany that
will more than have fully recovered
from her defeat in the great war.
In a previous article l outlined
the many activities Of the Rhine
EIbe union. The Siemens and Hal
ske-Schuckert concern, even before
SHINES stuck finger in the pie,
practically entered the life of every
German. It built and controlled sub
ways in Berlin and sold every kind
of electric light globes. One could
order from it small electrical tool
or complete lighting and motor
plant with the very latest thing in
dynamos or turbines. If you want
ed to shop for wireless telegraph
outfits or telephone systems or any
one of a hundred ingenious electrical
devices, this concern could and
would deliver the goods.
1t had grown great because of the
genius of two men. Theirs is. as
much fairy story of business life
as that of George Westinghouse or
Thomas A. Edison in similar fields
in America
The Siemens concern. for instance,

You do not advise as to the stage
of development of your potato crop,
therefore, it is rather difficult to
answer your questions with the de-
gree of intelligence which you prob
ably anticipate.
Irish potatoes, of course, are best
planted in to 3.5-foot rows. They
should be planted nj rather wide,
put a part of the fertilizer under
the rows before the potatoes are
planted. Drop the potatoes, with
two eyes to the piece, about IS
inches apart in the drills and cover
to a depth of several inches by run
ming around the rows into which
the potatoes have been dropped with
a turning pillow.
When the potatoes begin to sprout
and reach up toward the surface of
the ground knock off the top of the
ridge with a light harrow. Then
cultivate shallow and frequently.
AS soon as the potatoes have come
to a stand put on as much fertilizer
as was put in the drill row.. We
prefer to use 500 pounds of formu-
Ia containing say 4 per cent nitro
gen, to 9 per cent phosphoric
acid, and 8 to per cent potash.
AS soon as the potatoes begin to
set on thro wthe earth freely to.
wards them until they are thor
oughly well hilled up. so the tubers
will be well buried beneath the soil
and so protected from sunburn.
Spray the potatoes from the be-
ginning with Paris green or some
other poison that will effectively de-
stroy the potato bugs. A good way
to accomplish this is through the
use, say, of low grade of flour
and Paris green. Mix in the pro-
portion of one pound Paris green to
Is or 20 pounds of flour. A gunny
sack may be used for sitting the
poison on the tops of the potatoes
when they are covered with dew.
After the potatoes are mature,
and it is important to wait until
they are firm and dry, then dig
them as promptly as possible. Put
them up in bushel-box containers if
they are to be held for any length
of time. Dry them in a dark cool
place from which the light has been
excluded. A sweet potato storage
house will be good for this purpose,
or they could be stored in cool,
dry cellar, or underneath the house.
If the potatoes are properly gath
cred and handled they can be kept
in the manner indicated for period
of 80 to 60 days. You will then
have an opportunity to market them
gradually and at time when the
market is likely to be relatively bare
of this crop. In this way you stand
a better chance Of getting a good
price for them.
