BROWN SPOT OF CORN

High temperature combined with
moist weather favors the develop
ment of the disease known as corn
brown-spot, which first appears as
slightly bleached or yellow spots on
the corn leaves.
The disease is caused by minute
fungus parasite, which attacks the
leaves, leaf sheaths and stalks. The
light colored spots, first noticed, turn
darker in few days until they be
come brown to reddish brown with a
lighter margin. They are small, and
when numerous give the blade rusty
appearance.
The treatment for the disease con-
sitst solely in preventive measures,
as no fungicide has been found that
will penetrate the spore walls and
kill the spores, according to DR.. O.
F. Burger, of the Florida Experiment
Station. The methods suggested for
control where the disease has oc-
Cured are the complete removal of
all diseased stalks from the. field /;
crop rotation, and the use of seed
corn that is free from the spores of
this disease.
Where the corn is used for silage
or slower the plants should be cut
early and as near the ground as pos
sible, in order that as many as pos
sible of the spores be removed.
In order to obtain seed corn free
form spores, pick ears from disease
free plants. Gather the ears without
husking and husk after they have
been carried to some place where
spores will not be blown on them af-
ter the husks are removed.

Farmers Sons Large
Per Cent of Students
at Southern College

Macon, Ca, June 1S,-Are South
ern colleges being filled by farmers
sons and young men whose fathers
never had chance to get a college
education?
Such is true if statistics gathered
concerning the fathers of Mercer Uni
versity students apply to the parent
age of a majority of Southern col
legians.
Out of the 1000 students at Mer-
Ger during the past year, records
show that the parents of 1876 per
cent were farmers. Coincident to
this is the fact that the fathers rep
resented, SIS per cent never wen to
college,
Next to the farmer, ministers lead
in the number having sent sons to
Mercer, with physicians and lawyers
following close behind.
The leading clasifieations of the
thousand father represented during
the past year are:
Farmers, 1916 per cent; ministers,
s.4 per cent; physicians, Ga per cent !;

BEETLES this season. Some are using
Cal-Sulphur while other are using a

are perfectly harmless. Don't be
afraid to eat beans Immediately after

Cobb county farmers are planting
larger acreage Of soy beans and
other forage crops this year. More
would be planted were it not for the
fact that seed are scarce and high.
Why not grow your own seed for next
season? A very small patch will pro-
duce enough seed for the average
farmer. If it is not convenient for
you to thresh them you can beat them
out very easily.

he asks as the family sits for meals
especially when there Is company.
Two children were playing on d
fire escape, overlooked from the par
rot's cage. Watch your step" was
the admoniton he shouted.
If the door bell rings the bird
cries. Come in. Who is it?"
He refuses TO leave his cage on
any pretext. The last time he was
taken from the cage ne was moved
to Chicago. He didn't like the west
FERN city and fears a repetition of the
Journey. But every time his cage
is placed under shower bath, he
flaps his wings and squawks Alta

When the birds master leaves for
the office each day, the bird wakes

SKETCH SHOWS THE CoNsTELLATION OF sCORPIO THE


named, with the exception of the
/ Great Dipper.
You will have no difficulty finding
the constellation because Of its po-
sition close to the southern horizon
and also because 1t contains the
brilliant first magnitude star. An
tares.
Antares has a deep rudy color.
In hunting for this constellation
you must pick a station where build
ings or trees do not interfere with
your view Of the southern horizon.
Supposed to BE Heart
The fiery red Antares is supposed
to mark the heart Of the scorpion
and is sometimes called Cor Scor-
pionis," which IS Latin for the heart
of the scorpion.
Antares is a particularly beautiful
sight in the telescope. for the tele-
scope reveals it as a double star, a
seventh magnitude companion OF
/ emerald green color contrasting
beautifully with the rudy color Of
the principal star.
Antares is 50 far Always that 1t
takes its light 112 years to reach
| the earth.
| Astronomers believe that the star
gives out 800 times as much light
as our sun.
Two small stars CT the third mag
nitude, known 10 astronomers by
the Greek letters Sigma and Tau,
are situated one on each side of An
/ tares.
The head and claws Of the scor-
pion are marked by a group of third
and fourth magnitude stars.
These include Jabbah, a fourth
magnitude star, Grafflas. a third
and Dschubba, also a third magni-
tude star.
Graffias is a pale white star. The
derivation Of its name is unknown.
Refer to Position
The other two names refer to the
position of the stars. Jabbah means
crown of the forehead" Dschubba
means the front Of the forehead. q"
| The telescope shows that Grafias is
a double star and Jabbah a triple
one.
| The tail Of the scorpion IS formed
by a number Of third and fourth
magnitude stars which sweep
through the Milky Way in a ~
\ shaped curve.
Two stars, Shaula and Lesuth,
mark the sting at the end of the
up-turned tail
The name, Shaula, means "the
sting" Lesuth. though derived from
different root, also has the same
meaning.
They are both third magnitude
stars. Shaula, however, is a little
| brighter than Lesuth
Two beautiful star clusters are
situated just northeast of Shaula
and Lesuth. They are family visi-
bic in good pair Of opera glsases.

Teaching Religion

Certainly the Protestant children
should be taught the Bible the same
as our Catholic, children. but as +
attended a public school 7 must
agree with Mr.. Black that I never
heard the Bible read there. OF course.
teaching religion in the public
schools would have its difficulties,
as so many different denominations
attend. each understanding the Bible
in a different way.
The Khan says Catholics are I'M
American because they place God
above all things. Catholics are taught
to love God first and then our coun-
try, but Klansmen object to this.
Imagine that for a Christian organi-
cation! Who were our 100 per cent
Americans in the World War? We're
there not as many Catholics at the
front as any other denomination?
The negroes and Jews were also
there and many a foreign-born boy
gave his life for this country.
The Catholic Church always was
and always will be prosecuted, and
yet she thrives on 1t. When Christ
founded the Catholic Church he said,
"The servant is not greater than the
Master. AS they prosecute me so
they will prosecute you He also
promised to be with us until the end
of time. So you see we who believe
in Christ's promises have nothing
to fear from the Khan. The Catholic
Church existed for sixteen hundred
and fifty years before there was any
other church and will continue to ex-
ist long after the Ku-Klux Khan has
faded to nothingness.
Blessed are they which are per-
secuted for righteousness sake; for
theirs is the kingdom of Heaven
I am a 100 per cent American
Catholic who believes in Gods COM
mand, Love your neighbor as your
self"
