leaves unguarded in the hopes that
the right man will have the gump-
ton to guess the combination of it's
lock one day, and walk in and take
possession of the premises.
80 1t IS up to you to find the key,
and do little porch climbing, and
here are few suggestions about
how to do the trick:
First, get her really interested in
you. Spend less time in making
love to her than you do in talking to
her about world affairs, and books,
and the PHILOSOPHERS Of life. I'm
emotional girls generally have as
much head as heart, and they are
more apt to ask themselves, "Will
this man bore me to death if I marry
hlm?' than they are to inquire
Of their souls whether he will al
ways thrill them or not.
The girl who is just a bunch of
throbblng nerves and senses never
looks beyond the moment. 1t is
enough for her that she palpitates
at the touch of hand, or the sound
OF footstep, or that some man S
kisses fill her with ecstacy. The
girl of colder temperament looks be-.
yond the chills and ague' state of
courtship to the placid days of matri-
mony where her happiness is going
to depend on how entertaining as
a daily companion her husband is.
If you can get a girl so interested
in what you think that she saves
up subjects to discuss with you, you
have got her going. You're as fasci-
mating as a to-be- continued-in-our
next serial, and she will marry YOU
to get some intelligent person with
whom to talk, and to whom to listen.
If the quiet girls eyes brighten
when you come, press your suit
with vigor. But If she yawns, and
says that mother does not approve
of callers after 1880, waste no more
time upon her. She has found you
tedious, and you haven't touched
either her heart or her brain cells.
Your second play is to convince
your quiet, Unconditional girl that
you need her. Ordinarily, a man
who is counting a girl piques her
interest by keeping her guessing,
and the more uncertain she is that
he wants her, the more she wants
him. But with the cold type of girl
these tactics must be reversed. She
never falls in love with man until

some turkeys from Paris green that
the wind had blown off the potatoes
on the grass. 1 wondered if the
bugs had not killed the turkeys.
Once more I ask you, have you
planted any rye. or dwarf Essex
rape? There has been a long, dry
season here, the rye that was plant
ed six weeks ago and the rain on
the seventeenth has started it to
coming. Another field has been
planted since then and one of the
chicken ranges will be planted Men
day. 1t is late, but there will be
green stuff for the flocks later on,
and if nothing happens I hope to
have plenty of sprouted oats for
them.
Three rows OF rape planted where
the ground is rich, and worked just
as you do turnips, rows thirty feet
long, planted so thick that you can
thin it out from the time there are
four leaves, will give the table, the
poultry and the pigs all they need
every day. I know, for we tried it.
In cooking it for the family some
prefer to parboil it. We generally
mix it with turnip salad, Or with
mustard salad.
If your fall potatoes are where
they can be left in the ground try
some that way. We never dig ours
until they are needed. They freeze
and thaw all winter and keen firm.
while those in the house get watery
if they freeze. L can't say what eff
feet it would have where the ground
does not freeze.
Plant some onions now. They will
be delicious about February, and il
you have any that were too small to
enjoy them early in the year. It's

awful not to have something
green all winter.
Two of this years pullets ap-

much rather see them with their

These were unhappy days for Old
Mr.. Buzzard. Almost every day an
aeroplane, which the little people of
the Green Forest and the Green

over the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows. AS soon as it was out OF
sight some one would be sure to
happen around where Old Mr.. Buz

times it would be Sammy Jay.

would exclaim. ibid you see that

''Do you really think so?' Sammy

Old Mr.. Buzzard would draw him

of us sell all that we can in the fall.
1t makes room for the youngsters,
and we can afford to sell cheaper If
we do not have to take care of them

to be needed in the spring, and one
can get it now, that one cockerel

as much as charged now, and as u
rule a better selection can be made.
/ do hope that as many as pos
sibly can will get tight houses for
their poultry. [ do not mean that
the house must be alright. The
best kind for the south is the open
front house. Three sides tight and
the other, the south side, should be

she could not use the wire on

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

he Is abject before her. He has to
stir her pity before he does her
heart
Therefore, naks yourself pic
turesquely wretched before your
quiet girl.
Threaten to commit suicide If she
says no." or convince her that you
will pine away and die of a broken
heart. Tell her all the hard-luck
stories you can conjure up, and make
her realize that all the comfort you
have in this sad and sordid vale OF
tears is her understanding and sym
pathy.
The poet who said that "pity is
akin to love- said it all in regard to
the quiet, Unconditional woman. Her
real passion Is the maternal, and
she loves only the man who will let
her mother him, and treat him as II
he were a bad little boy that she had
scolded, and then kissed his tears
away.
If you have past, do not hide 1t
under a bushel when you go court
ing the quiet, Unconditional woman
Above all things else, she adores re
forming people, and if you can make
her believe that all you need is her
sweet, womanly influence to lead you
to the higher life, and that with hel
by your side you will never listen
to the voice Of the bootlegger again
or play another card, or see another
skirt, she is yours for the taking.
She will lecture you, oh, so gentle
and pray for you, oh, so fervently
and when a woman undertakes to be
a mans guardian angel, it is all over
but sending out the announcement
cards.
Your third play is not to be weary
of we'll doing. Have patience. Camp
on your lady loves doorstep. Become
a habit with her.
Let her get used to depending or
you for most of her pleasures anG
entertainment, and then, if she still
persists in telling you that she car
only be a sister to you, suddenly
tell her that you accept her decision
as final. That will give her a shock
that will make her sit up and take
notice. Then begin giving her dear
est rival a grand rush, and it is nine
chances to one that your lady love
will discover that her feelings to
ward you are not so platonic, after
all.
Finally, son, do not put too much
faith in the theory that a girl is I'm
emotional because she does not fall
in love at first sight, and broadcast
her feelings to the world. Because
girl does not wear her heart upon
her sleeve is no sign it isn't doing
business at the old stand in her
breast.
Often the quiet people who have
lee to say about their elections
love the truest. Still waters run deep
you know, and there are volcanoes
masked with snow.
And these quiet people, who are
tco shy to show +'-nir owl affec'
tons, are the easiest to sweep off
their feet with violent and tempestu
o"s lovemaking. they yearn to be
loved, tt be flattered, caressed, ca
joled. They lon. to be told that a
man can't live without them, and
there's not a mothers daughter OF
them who can resist the man who
sets the wedding day, and tells her
that he is going to marry her wheth
er she will have him or not.
So, if l were a young man in love
with a quiet, Unconditional girl, I'd
just step on the gas, and break the
speed laws going to the parsonage
with her.

FARM EDUCATION
Tobacco Cultivation in South Georgia
BY DR.. ANDREW M. SOULE

Tobacco Cultivation in South Georgia
B. u. c., Pelham, Ga, writes:
The farmers of our county are
thinking of raising gold leaf sun
tobacco, and I would appreciate
any information you can give
me on this subject.
Tobacco proved to be a profitable
and desirable crop for our farmers
this year. This is not true of every
individual planter in Georgia be.
cause the mistake was made by
quite a few of planting tobacco on
soils not adapted to this. crop. AS
you doubtless know, We have made
a careful survey of the state with
reference to the growth of tobacco
and fanliliariZed ourselves thorough
ly with the soils adapted to this
crop. Tobacco is one of the mosc
sensitive plants cultivated, and if
the soil and climatic conditions do
not suit It exactly. a grade of to
bacco will be produced which has
little market value. The loss to the
grower then is, of course, excessive.
Troubles of this kind can be avoid
ed by selecting tobacco soils with
the utmost care and by familiarizing
oneself thoroughly with the process
OF planting and cultivating befor:
undertaking the work on a large
commercial scale. There is much to
learn about any new crop, and I am
only offering these suggestions in
the way of advice in the hope that
your people may obviate the costly
mistakes which have been made else.
where.
The best soils on which to grow
tobacco in your section of Georgia
are the Orangeburg sandy loan and
the Norfolk series. The Triton OF
pebble soil ranks next to the Norfolk
series as tobacco soil, but there
are phases of this soil which pro-
duce much better tobacco than
others. It is the light or sandy phase
OF the Triton or pebble soil that
produces good yields of first-class

Dear Children: Am so glad that
you are enjoying the story of the In
dams. You will be glad know that
Mabel Mason Carlton gives us some
of ongfellow's beautiful Indian
poems. We will have one of these
verses in next week.
Although the various tribes were
practically sufficient unto them
selves, each administering it's own
| government, providing it's own food
clothing and shelter, possessing its
own ceremonies and religINIs be-
liefs, speaking it's own language, ana
consequently developing its own life,
customs and culture; yet all Indians
had many characteristics in common.
All the Indians were superstitious, be-
lieving that animals as well as nat
ure influenced their lives, and Ike
all primitive races, they accompa-
MED their activities of food gathering,
war and worship with eXtravagant
ceremonies. All the Indians lived in
groups or villages rather than as iso-
lated families. All had their chiefs,
who obtained their position by bYav-
cry rather than heredity. There were
no written laws, no written histories,
no books. Although the tribes used a
sign or picture writing to convey
messages, the laws, beliefs and old
tales passed from one generation to
another by the spoken word. In gen
eral the Indian men did the hunting,
fishing and fighting; the women not
only cooked the food and made the
clothing, but they usually TILED the
fields, made the houses and the
household utensils. The Indians had
no stores nor markets as we now
have; neither did they possess horses,
COWS nor othe domestic animals save
the dog. In physical appearance the
members of the various tribes, re-
sembled each other; they had straight
black hair, reddish brown skin, dark
eyes, high cheek bones, thick lips,
broad faces. Although some groups
were more savage than others, in the
main they were all hospitable, gener-
Gus, devoted, yet envious, cruel and
treacherous, almost beyond belief"
Next week we will have traditions
and legends. Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
