FARM EDUCATION
BY DR.. ANDREW M. SOULE

{ disease has been very carefully and
| thoroughly investigated, but no very
satisfactory treatment has been de-
vised yet. Drs. Cole and Hadley, of
! the Rhode Island Experiment Sta
| ton. have made g. very thorough
study of this disease. l do not think
can do better than to record their
findings.
| 1. Protect the yards and flocks
which may have the good fortune
to be uninfected with the blackhead
organism by a thorough eXamina-
! ton of all new stock, whether tur-
keys, fowls, geese or other domestic
birds.
2. Keep the turkeys on grounds
which are as fresh as can be OBJ
tanned. and above all, keep them iso.
lated from fowls and other domestic
birds.
8, Keep every turkey in the flock
under close observation in order to
separate and at once isolate any
bird which gives evidence Of the
disease. To facilitate such obserVa-
tons, it is helpful to leg band each
individual, and to record its weight
from time to time. Such a course
makes it possible to learn whether
any birds are losing weight. and if
this is the case, these birds must
be regarded with suspicion, and
separated from the rest of the flock.
4. If it is known that blackhead
is present in any of the poultry, the
yard, should be kept free from Eng
lish sparrows, and the poultry houses
and grain boxes from rats and mice,
which have been shown to carry
the causative organism.
5. When it is desired to fatten
birds for the market, begin to in.
crease the rations gradually. Never
attempt to fatten birds which, in
successive weighings, show a loss
of weight. Overlooking does not
cause blackhead but frequently
causes the sudden death of birds in
which blackhead is present.
8. When birds have died of black
head, their bodies should be prompt.
ly burned or buried in order to pre-.
vent the dissemination of the COG.
cidia, either through the ravaees
or rats or skunks, or consequent to
the natural processes of decay.
Nebraska Potash as Fertilizer fo,.
Pecans
w. ~ w - savannah, Ga,
writes: Please advise if I can use
Nebraska potash as a fertilizer
for pecan trees, and what
amount shoLid use?
We do not consider that the tyne
of potash which you propose to use
under your pecans is satisfactory
for the purpose you have in mind. It
will be infinitely better for you to
use potash derived from some other
source. The grade of the material
may or may not be all right. One
could not determine this without
making chemical analysis. Much
of the potash derived from the
source indicated in your letter con-
tains borax, which is detrimental to
the growth of our principal crops. If
you could buy this material under a
that it is free from this
element, 1 do not believe there
would be any objection to its USE
Much potash derived from other
sources is known to be free from
this or any other deleterious element
to plants. 1t is probably safest and
wisest to confine yourself to the
use of potash derived from sources
that are known to be absolutely all
right.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
complished the woman at the head
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

! complished the woman at the head
of it is.
Thousands of young chaps, like
my sons. who are ambitious and
energetic but who have their own
way to make in the world, marry
charming and educated girls, eX-
| pecting to be happy ever after. And
they would be and the marriage
would be a success il the girls had
only been taught how to cook and
sew. But they haven't. They feed
| their husbands out of tin cans and
paper bags. They waste their money
in buying readymade things, and
when a tired man comes home to
a wife who is hysterical. because
she has burnt the roast and scorched
the soup, and the darns in his socks
hurt his feet, and he has to begin
lodging the bill collector, it doesn't
take long for loves young dream
to get busted to smithereens, and
for him to decide that matrimony is
a failure.
"Of course, the burden of teaching
girls how to cook and sew should
not be shunted onto the schools.
Every mother should begin her
| little daughters education along
those lines in her mud pie and doll
playing days.
But mothers are too lazy, are too
Indifferent, are too tender to do it.
They don't want to bother with
teaching their girls how to do things
or else they want to save them
from doing anything that looks like
work
My girls will learn how to sew
and cook after they get married.
That's the way I did, they say, and
never stop to think what an injus-
tice this is to the poor young hus-
band who has to be, the victim of
his brides experiments in the cul
mary art.
Nor do the mothers consider
what a needless cruelty they are in
fIicting on their own daughters by
chucking them, unframed and I'M
prepared, into the hard job of be-
ing a poor mans wife. For there
is no more pathetic figure than that
OF the wife who wrestles ineffec-
tually with the pots and pans, who
bupgles her sewing, and who can
never make ends meet in her house
hold accounts,
perhaps the reason mothers do
not teach their daughters how to
cook and sew is because they all eX-
pect their darlings to marry million
aires. But, even so, knowledge is
always power. The woman who
knows how to do things herself can
always get better service than the
woman who doesn't know, and she
is never in the power of servants as
is the woman who is helpless if the
cook leaves.
"a final reason why every girl
should be taught how to cook and
sew is because it gives her a sure
way Of making living if she is
ever called upon to support herself.
Everybody has to eat. Everybody
has to have clothes. No woman who
can supply these demands need ever
starve. And if she has the ambition
and industry to make herself an eX-
pert in either line, she can make
her fortune.
That's why every girl for her
own sake, for husbands sake, and
her children's sake, should be
taught the domestic arts. For
whatever else a woman may, or
may not need to know, she is dead
sure to need to know how to cook
and sew"

hogs. I am new at the farm
ing game, and want to begin
right. Any suggestions will
therefore be appreciated.
For your section Of Georgia we
would recommend the planting o.
one of the wilt resistant varieties
of cotton. Among these will be
found the strain known as Mathers
Toole, Petty's Toole, Councils Toole
Lewis 63 and Dixie. The Dixie is
a later strain than the other varie
ties mentioned, and, for this reason
we do not consider it quite so de-
sirable. You understand, of course,
that in growing cotton under con-
ditisns of Soll weevil infeStation
carry maturity is q very great ad'
vantage. You should not find it diff
ficult to secure seed of the varieties
enumerated at a reasonable cost.
The Georgia State College of Agri-
culture is producing various types
of cotton seed as we'll as acceptable
strains of different cereal crops. We
have no seed of the type desired,
however. on hand. We would advise
seed per acre.
You are to be commended for di-
versifying your farm practice. Also
for emphasizing the production of
hogs. Hog raising can certainly be
followed with profit in Georgia pro-
vided grazing crops are utilized to
the extent which our soils and eli
matte conditions make desirable.
We have slaughter houses located
within the state that can handle and
pack a very much larger number OF
hogs than we are now producing.
Therefore, we should carry forward
the business of hog production on
the most up-to-date manner practica-
bic so as to insure ourselves against
the loss of our hogs by preventable
diseases. We should also study the
subject of feeding and finishing hogs
very carefully, so that we may pre-
pare these animals for market in
the shortest possible time, and at
the least outlay for feed and labor
Some counties in Georgia where the
wd@vil has proven destructive have
shipped as many as twenty thousand
head of hogs this year. This shows
pansion, and can be forwarded with
profit and success when rightly
managed. 1t also demonstrates the
fact that the farmers in the coun-
ties indicated have been able to re-
coup themselves for the losses which
the boil weevil may have inflicted

Mother Bear.
Littlest Bear was not only lone
some, but she had begun to feel
strangely uneasy. It was az queer
feeling. She didn't know what to
make of it. She felt as if something
was going to happen, but what could
happen she hadn't the slightest idea.
This feeling made her even more
lonesome. Never in her short life
had she known such stiffness. There
wasn't sound in the Green Forest.
Not a leaf moved. Littlest Bear be-
ban to whimper. She whimpered
softly, as if afraid of the sound Of
her own voice.
~"T want my mother. want my
mother. I want my mother" whim-
pered LittIest Bear, and began to
run. This strange stiffness fright
ened her more and more. She
couldn't keep still. 1t was easier to
run. She tried to think that she
was running back to where she had
last seen Mother Bear. But she
wasn't. You see, she hadn't any idea
at all where she was. She kept on
running, and as she ran she kept on
whimpering, 81 want my mother. 1
want my mother"
Suddenly there was a deep, low
growl, the biggest growl Littlest
Bear ever had heard. She sprang
to the nearest tree, but before she
could start to scramble up it she
remembered that she couldn't find
Mother Bear if she was up in a tree.
With her heart going pit-a pat, pit-a-
pat with fright, she waited to see if
that dreadful rumbly, brumbly growl
would be repeated. 1t was getting
very dark. although it was not yet
time for night. After waiting a mo-
ment or two, she started on again.
She had taken but few jumps
when that dreadful rumbly, grumbly
growl was repeated louder than be-
fore. Once more she bolted for the
nearest tree and waited. What ter
riblN creature could it be that

MUST NOT be included in letters for
Aunt Julia's Letter Box. The ques-
tons must be sent separately and
must be addressed to Aunt Julia s
Question Box, The Atlanta Tri-Week-
ly Journal, Atlanta. Ga.
Dear Folks: Two personal ques-
tons about making picnic sand
wiches made me think about giving
you a couple of recipes that we use
for such occasions.
1. Cut loaf of sandwich bread
lengthwise, using care not to break
the bread. Spread each side of the
slices with dressing. Between the
first and second layer put sliced
chicken. Between the next put a
mixture of hard boiled eggs, pickles
(sweet), a few drops of worcester
shire sauce and little French mus
tard and enough dressing to spread.
Between the next put a light spread
ing of tomato sauce and slices of
crisply fried breakfast bacon. Now
put On the Gid" which, of course,
means the upper crust. I forgot to
say that you must not cut off crust
when you make these sandwiches.
Press the loaf firmly together, wrap
in WaXed paper and wheen you
reach the picnic grounds, hold care
fully and slice through with sharp
knife. These sandwiches will look
like layer cake and taste like club
sandwich. 1 prefer the chicken
ground and prepared as for chicken
salad. 1t cuts better.
2. Chop together crisply fried ba-
con and stuffed olives, a hard boiled
egg may be added if desired, mix
with a little salad dressing, work to
a paste, spread on thin slices of
bread that have been previously
spread with salad dressing.
Do hope you will enjoy these some
time this summer.
