CHANCE
And he said unto her, Thy sins
are forgiven :. thy faith hath
saved thee, go in peace!-St. Luke
7:4S, so.
This unfortunate woman thought
her life was ruined, and so did ev-
erybody else but One in the Phari-
sees house where she had crept in
to weep at Jesus feet.
But Jesus said, Not so; your great
love shows your many sins are for
given; you have a new hope; go in
peace!
Christianity is the gospel of an
other chance.
Though you have tried, trusting in
yourself, and failed and fallen often,
all is not lost.
Try again. trusting in the Divine
mercy and power, and God will bring
you through.
If you can still be sorry, you are
| not hopeless; and if you know your
| own weakness. you can obtain
strength from heaven.
DO not give up, but look up.
| If men are hidden to forgive even
unto seventy times seven, shall not
God do more?
Forgiveness means the opening OF
! a closed door.
This good news lies at the very
heatt of the Christian religion; anc
when the church proclainis it as
simply as Jesus told it to the faller
woman, then her pristine power will
be regained.

FARM EDUCATION
BY DR.. ANDREW M. SOULE

, better adapted for cultivation on
thin, poor land than either wheat
or oats. It Is an excellent cover
crop, and may also be used to ad'
vantage for winter grazing and IN
combination with crimson clover and
vetts2s> for hay production. 1t can
also s.. Sswn with advantage be-
tween The rows of cotton or corn
which has been planted later.
It will respond to the use OF re"
tilizers. particularly acid phosphate
and potash. The seedbed should pe
carefully prepared. After cowpeas'
all that is necessary is to disk the
seed into the soil. In planting rye
between cotton or corn rows. 1t Is
generally best to put the seed IN
with o. drill. The time OF seeding
in north Georgia is from the first
to the fifteenth OF October. In south
Georgia, from the fifteenth or &C.
tober to the first of November. From
three to four pecks per acre nave
given best results when rye is sown
for grain. If intended for a cover
or grazing crop, higher rate Of
seeding Is desirable than when in
tended for grain.
According to our experience, the
best varieties to cultivate In Gecr-
gia are the Abruzzi and South
Georgia strains. The Rosen rye doas
not seem to have done az well as
the varieties mentioned. There is
a. strain Of rye known az Virginia
which does very we'll in our state
but it is slow in developing and
has a spreading habit Of growth

times she is overlooked just because
the men about her are so familiar

lthey have ceased to notice them.
In such cases, if a woman is wise,
she betakes herself to fresh fields

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

Dear Miss Dix-Is it possible for
a widow Widowed her husband with
a great love, and who has four chill,
dren to remind her constantly OF
him, to marry again, and make a
success of it? Her mother-ln- aW
feels bitterly toward her for even
considering a second marriage. and
the widow loved her husband so i'll
tently that it hurts her to cause pair
to his relative Yet she Is deeply
attached to the second man, and he
to her, and she feels that they would
be very happy together, and she
knows that she will be very lonely
without him.
Does a woman in any way dis
honor the memory of her first hus'
band whom she deeply, truly loved
by marrying again? WIDOW.
I Answer: Certainly not. If it is
anything, it is a compliment to the
memory of the first husband for a
woman to wish to marry again, as
it indicates that her life with No. !
was a pleasant and agreeable ex
perience. 1t is not likely that those
who have gone hence concern them
selves with the doings of those left
behind, but surely in heaven hearts
are purged of all jealousies, and il
dead husband can look down upor
his poor, helpless. bereaved wife, he
must be glad to know that she ha!
the protection and affection of some
good man.
The only possible argumen
against q, widow marrying is th'
danger of giving a cruel stepfathel
, to her children. But if she is Ger
tain she is not doing that, and tina
the man she is placing over hel
| children will be good and kind tx
them, there is no reason why SHIT
shouldn't take a second husband.
After all, she has her own life t.
consider and a lonely, old age t.
provide against, for it does not take
| long for children to grow up ant
leave the home nest. Then she will
have nothing if she has sacrificed
herself for them. She will even bt
a burden upon them and in fal
worse case than if she had home
of her own. Old people need com
partnership more than the young do
and they are wise if they can secure
it for themselves by a second mar
riage. ,-..
AS for a woman giving up the mai

Dear Children: ! want TO tell you
story heard the other day ABOUT
some white rabbits.
A little boy friend Of mine won
lovely white rabbit at an Easter egg
hunt. His parents bought him two
more as companions for this one'
and he bought rabbit house from
a boy friend for his pets to live IN.
do not know much about rao'
bits, but it seems that there was no
place for them to burrow in TINS
house, so when tho little rabbits
came, the little boys mother went
out to see them, and there in one
corner of the house were the little
ra bbits, all warmly covered with the
white fur that the mother and ra-
Their rabbit had plucked from their
own bodies, and in an opposite cor
ner was a nice clean ball OF this fur
that they had provided for more
and clean covering.
1t would be hard to believe this
story if 1 hadn't had 1t from the lips
OF this woman who is strictly truth
full. She said the coverlet OF white
fur was like a lacey quilt, and very
beautiful. 1t brought tears to her
eyes to see the care that these
dumb animals gave their young.
Lovingly,

Why Diversification Becomes

J. L. B., Soperton, Ca, writes:
The boil weevil makes it SO nara

my chief money crop to be
butchered and cured. for bacon.
DO you think it would be diff
cult to find a market? Your
advice in this matter will be
appreciated.
1t is certainly very inadvlsaole
for farmers to continue to put all
their eggs in one basket. The boil
weevil has certainly taught us the
undesirabiIity of this policy, TOR ne
has seriously dana ged our cotton
crop for three years in succession.
Az a pest, he is destined to be with
us always. and so we must be pre-
pared to fight him in the most et'
fective way possible il we are TO
continue to grow cotton.
The best policy to pursue unoer
the circumstances is to diversity our
production, as you suggest IN your
letter. Fortunately, in your sectloH
of Georgia, there are several crops
YOU can grow for this purpose. One
of these would be peanuts. AN as
ISOLATION is now being formed In the
state for the purpose Of marketing
this crop on a. satisfactory basis.
The peanut, as you doubtless know,
is a producer of a very fine Oil ana
concentrate as well. AS our oil mills
can crush peanuts, there should pc
a reasonably good market for inns
crop at fairly remunerative prices
You can also raise hogs in your
section with advantage, because you
can produce so many and Verleo
grazing and forage crops. Thefs
are several packing plants in Geor-
gia where hogs which are properly
finished can be sold at fair prices.
AS YOU doubtless know, some coun'
ties which have been seriously in.
tested by the weevil for several
years past have gone largely into
fhe raising OF hogs: They have
made a. decided success of the bust
ness. Where you go into the hog-
raising business you should nave

What the Boil Weevil Mas Done to
Georgia

F.. A. F., Waycross, Ga,
writes: Please give me some
statistics regarding the boil
weevil in Georgia and the
southern states, especially how
it has been a drawback to farm
prosperity.
The depredations Of the boil
weevil have cost the south more
than anI other insect of which g.
consistent. economic record is avail.
able. In the case pertaining in our
own state for instance. we find that
the average cotton crop for the past
twentythree years has been 1,752,-
1877 bales. The average yield per
acre has been 1877 pounds Of lint
cotton, The area devoted to the
crop, 4.666,23s acres. Last year.
we harvested less than 10000 bales
OF cotton, and some people do not
think We will harvest that much
this year. Our cotton crop has ap-
parently been reduced by the boil
weevil to the extent OF million
bales year. At hundred dollars
bale, this totals 100000, 900.
Surely, this is tremendous price
to pay for the damage wrought by a
single insect. There are, for in
stance, $4,000 farms in Georgia.
Weetil damage has reduced their
income by $500 per farm. Is it any
wonder that people complain Of
hard times and that money should
be scarce and economic conditions
unsatisfactory. Our farmers, in
spite of the damage wrought by the
ha oct cAuArdI
continue to plant cotton extensively
while failing to produce q sufficient
amount of field and food crops to
supply our own people and the live
stock which should be ma stained
in our state. We are sending out
of Georgia annually about 100000.
900 for food crops, consisting of
such things as meat, flour, butter
and poultry products.
The thing to do to make Georgia
prosperous is for every farmer to
become a self-sustaining unit to pro-
duce surplus of some OF the food.
stuffs that our towns and cities
need and then make cotton an Incl
dental crop. This means to reduce
the area devoted. to this crop to
about five acres per plow. 1T would
then still remain one of our chief
money crops, and, if the weevil did
eat it up, we would have other crops
to fall back upon, and it would not
paralyze us economically as it has
done for the past two or three
years. We have a soil and climate
suited to the production of a variety
of crops. 1t is a case Of getting out
of the rut into which we have fallen
and organizing and putting into
practice a program Of diversified
production. Just as surely as we do
this will our economic condition inn
prove and prosperity again return
