Making Side Application to Water
melons

melons
Fl. p. W., McRae, Ga, writes:
I wish information concerning
applying the second application
of fertilizer to watermelons. My
melons are up and being worked
out. / put some fertilizer to
them when planted, and am
thinking OF applying some more,
and would like to know what
would be the best to use now.
We are inclined to think that If
you fertilze your watermelon crop
literally when it is planted that the
use of additional amounts of COM
plete fertilizer are probably not
necessary. If this material is used,
however, it should be scattered over
the soil at once and worked we'll in
by means of a harrow, or a cult
Vator to a depth of at least a couple
of inches. \ side application of
complete fertilizer should carry not
less than 4 per cent of nitrogen, 10
per cent of phosphoric acid, and 5
per cent of potash. We would think
that from two TO three hundred
pounds was a sufficient amount to
apply per acre. If nitrate of soda
is used, it should be put in circle
around the hills say at a distance
of a foot or so from the plants.
From two to four teaspoonfuls will
be enough to use, depending on the
character of the soil and the rate Of
growth the plants have attained.
Side applications of nitrate of soda
are not advisable after the vines are
running freely. \ couple of appG
cations made two or three weeks
apart would be a good practice to
follow in the fertilization of water
melons. We think that the use of
nitrate of soda at the rate OF fifty
pounds per acre would be beneficial
The rate at which the plant food
contained in cotton seed meal be.
comes available would be rather TOO
slow to meet the requirements of the
melon crop. especially when the
vines are out of the ground, and the
vines are probably ready TO run.

| Oh lIlc way -
red with the blood, and salt with the
tears of the poor unfortunates who
| tread it.
The Japanese have a truer vision
of fallen women than we have. They
| call them the sorrOWfuI sister
hood" Well may we pity those who
| have bartered their birthright for
! a mess of pottage, and who for the
sake of a passing infatuatiOn, or for
the qualification of their love of lux
ury and pleasure, have made of
themselves outcasts among women
and the playthings of brutal men.
There are many different paths
| that lead down to the hell Of fallen
women. One of these is misplaced
| love. Sometimes a woman loves not
wisely, but too. WELL and becomes the
victim of some constituencies villain
who betrays her. This does not hap
pen very often. Nor does the woman
who sins through love alone often
reach the level of the streets. Nearly
always she repents of her error in
sackcloth and ashes and fights her
way back to righteousness.
The chief of police in New York
more girls go astray through lone
illness than through any other cause.
He said that the women of the
streets were recruited from the
country. Country girls came to
| town, allured by the bright lights.
They got work in stores and fac
tories and offices, but they lived in
dingy and dreary hall bedrooms,
They were lonely of evenings. They
had no companionships They had
no family restraint and they longed
| for fun and amusement.
| So they went Outh and found it
on the streets. They picked up ac-
quaintance with the men who lay in
wait for just such unsophisticated
klittle girls as they. They were the
ones who accepted a strangers inVi-
| tation to have a drink and go to
| dance, or show. or who hoped in
! the automobile of the man who sang
out, want a ride, girlie?" and took
| the joy ride that ended for them in
| perdition
My own observation is that the
! love of dress, the desire for fine
clothes is responsible for the down
| fall of more girls than anything
else. They literally sell their souls
for a yard of chiffon and an eve
ming in a cabaret. The poor girl who
| spends her days handling rich
! fabrics and selling costly garments
| to other women not half as beautiful
as she is gets obsessed by mania
for luxury. She can never hope to
make the money herself to BUY i'm
ported hats and gowns, and so she
| gets them in the one way that is
| open to her without counting its
| final cost.
And girls. rich and poor, are pleas

of men and the good times that men
! give them, and when they find that

Relation of Moon to Crop Production
j. o, S.. Ty Ty, Ga, writes:
Is there any scientific basis for
the beiier that prompts at least
two-thirds of the farmers to
plant and cultivate their crops
according to the moon and signs
of the zodiac.
[ regret to say there is no scien-
tific basis upon which to predicate
the belief that crops should only be
planted during certain phases of the
moon. This is nothing more or less
than a superstition which has come
down to us through the years that
are gone. l do not know where it
originated nor why so many people
hold to it with such tenacity.
know that our negro population try
to live in accordance with the tenets
of this theory, and sometimes | am
inclined to think that if they paid
less attention to it and more to the
cultivation of crops the harvest they
reap would be greatly increased.
know from long personal experience
and consideration of this question
that the best crops we have ever
raised have been produced under
conditions which opposed the theory
that the moon and the signs of the
zodiac have an important bearing
upon crop production

writes: Please tell me how to
treat watermelon seed to pre-
vent anthracnose.
Watermelon seed should be treat
ed as follows before they are
planted:
immense the seed in a 1900 mer-
curic chloride solution. The treat
ment should continue for five min
utes. This will free the exterior of
the seed from disease. The seed
should then be washed thoroughly
in running water. If this is done
promptly and effectively. their ger
minating power will not be adverse
ly affected. Mercuric chloride com
monty passes under the name Of
corrosive sublimate. 1t is an ex-
tremely dangerous poison. When in
solution, it should therefore be kept
in a glass bottle, an earthen ware
jar, or wooden receptacle. Avoid
the use of metal in connection with
the handling of this material. The
container should also be kept closed
to prevent the evaporation of the
solution. If evaporation occurs, the
stock solution will increase in
strength and hence might kill the
seed

CuItivating Spinach and Asparagus
N Ganro.io

in Georgia
E. r. c., Albany, Ga, writes:
I wish to have information on
how to grow spinach and as
paragus. What soil is best suited
to these crops? How should they
be sown and cultivated, and
what varieties are best for this
section?
Spinach may be planted in Geor
gia from January to April and from
August to November. In your sec
ton of the state, you should be
able to raise two crops a year, one
from the fall seeding and one from
the spring seeding. The seed should
be covered to a depth of about one
inch. The land on which this crop
is planted should be rich, free from
weeds and trash, and literally fer
tilted. Sow spinach thinly in rows
eighteen inches apart. 1t takes about
one ounce of seed to one hundred
feet, or from ten to fifteen pounds
per acre. Good varieties to plant
pre New Zealand, Curled Savoy and
Aragon. 1t takes this crop from
sixty to seventy days in which to
mature.
Aspara gus may be established
from seed or from roofs. A Sreal
deal of time may be saved by plant
ing out roots. 1t costs much more
to establish asparagus in this man
ner. The time to plant in Georgia
is from November 10 to March
Cover the roots to a depth of five
to seven inches and plant in rows
three to five feet apart. The hills
should be two to three feet in the
row. 1t takes about one hundred
roots for two hundred feet. The best
varieties are the Palmetto, Colossal
and Tim, The crop may be cut about
ono year from the time the roots
are planted. Asparagus requires q
RICH loose soil, which must be lib
orally fertilized. 1t is essentially q
truck crop and therefore needs &C
be forced rapidly. 1t is a crop which
can be grown with satisfaction and
success in Georgia both for home

ASSESSORS CHECK
 UP ON MACHINES
Will Penalize Owners Who
 Failed to Declare Them

Appralsing of automobiles Is now occupying the attention of the board of assessors, valuations being fixed on those reported during the month of October. this work to be fol- lowed by appraisal of those report cd by the state motor vehicle com mission and not reported by their owners. A penalty of 10 per cent for failure to file a tax list will be placed upon all cars coming under the second heading.
 Appraisals made yesterday ranged 1 from $25 on 1912 "hivVer" to | S2,O00 which was the valuation fixed on an expensive sedan.
 In fixing automobile assessments, | the board of assessors Is governed by the official United States second hand automobile valuation book, which Is in use In most of the coun- try's insurance companies. Through use of thls book. 1t Is possible 10 fix an equitable assessment since all automobiles of a certain type and year of manufacture will be as- sessed the same amount. This has the effect Of blocking appeals to the board of relief in many case since there can be no claim of inequit- able assessment.
 Present indications are that this years grand list will show several hundred more automobiles registered as personal property in the city than last year.

 "Velvet brocaded chiffon is an ideal material for the negligee be cause of Its softness and the beauty of designs and colorngs," Bende says.
 This material needs little trim mings, but 1t is frequently height ened in beauty of soft ostricl fringe or a plain fabric to accen the figure. Black chantilly lace ant white chiffon make robes of ex quisite loveliness.

BALTIMORE POST
 IN INCOME FIGHT
Lawyers Argue for Right to
 Print Lists

Baltimore, Dec. s.-Arguing in the United States court today in support of the demurrer of the Baltimore Post company to its indictment for publication of income tax returns, w. Calvin Chestnut of defense counsel contended that the written publica- tion of this information was entirely lawful for the following reasons:
 "The information published did not constitute part of an income tax return within the meaning of that expression as properly con- strued in the law.
 If the law should be construed to the contrary of this proposition, then, as so construed, 1t would be contrary to the constitution, relative to freedom of speech and of the press"
 "The question involved" said Mir. Chestnut, 'is merely this:
 When the Information is made available for public inspection by special mandate of congress, can congress at the same time prohibit the press from publishing such in- formation?"
 To that question he submitted there could be only one answer and that Is that congress could not valid ly pass such legislation because of the first amendment.
 If congress, the attorney, declared. makes it duty of government of- ficial to make available certain in- formation constituting either a part of the income tax return or informa- ton taken from the return, theG there "can be but one thought, that 1t Is to the public interest and con- venience and advantage hat such in- formation shall be made public. The practical method of making public lawful information in modern times Is through the press"
