OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O. THOMAS

year others got some seed from him,
and the first experience taught all
of them not to try to transplant it.
That fall a man came through the
country that had some experience
with cotton. They fixed two roller s,
like a wringer, | think, fed it care
fully, and in some way got the cot
ton ginned. Don't ask me why the
seed were not crushed; you may
know more than l do about ginning.
Anyway, the men around the fire
place seemed to understand, for they
only said "uh-huh!' and did not in
terrupt, so on they talked.
Next the conversation drifted to
trapping, and that same grandfath-
er's experience with a skunk was
told. 1t seems that there had been
strange noises in the smokehouse
for several nights. There was a hole
in the door for the cat to go in and
out. The smolehouse joined the
house, and was a general storage
place. The grandfather decided that
he was going to get the intruder.
SO one night he set for it," and as
the head was put through the cat
hole the gun banged away The
Well that ruined full barrel of
flour that had never been opened,
one of meal, and everything that was
IN reach of the atmospheric wave
that the SUNK had anything to do
with. You couldn't eat the food
after it was summed.
Inc people moved out of the house
for two weeks, went back everyday
,i,
all to no purpose as far as the food
was concerned. The old man decided
that if the skunks wanted to catch
rats in his smokehouse they had his
consent. He never meant to try to
kill one that near the home again.
The sun is shining today. the first
time, with one exception. this week

the fields this time. Monday morn

that day, will see plenty of people
cutting oats, and then preparing the
land for beans and corn, So much
or the cotton was plowed up, and
the land taken for beans that the
price has almost doubled aroun
here. The decision of the bankers
this year has also made some of the
cotton planters think it safe not to
put all their money in cotton. We
planted Irish potatoes three times
they rotted in the ground. but now
some are beginning to be ready for
the table and only q housekeeper
tlVlng in the country knows how glad
we are to have them.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE

the Fairy Prince, and that they were
going to live happily ever afterward.
And Jane is so thin and worn now,
and so spiritleSs, and so shabby,
and she tries so hard to please a
grumpy and grouchy husband, who
never notices how she looks, or
praises anything she does for him,
and who never takes her anywhere
Or tries to bring any pleasure or
amusement into her life.
THANK God / haven't got that"
says Maud piously. John is a good
man, but he is a poor husband and
there doesn't seem to be any way
you can tell 'em on the safe side
Of the altar"
And Betty, who works downtown
among men, and who knows men
and their tricks and their manners;
who has had married men try to
flirt with her: who sees elderly phi
landerers having affairs with girls
the age of their own granddaugh-
ters, who hears the lies men tele-
phone their wives and sees the
smoney spent on chicken feed that is
needed to keep a mans family COM
Portable; we'll, Betty looks at each
ShNO'O -
red lantern that warned her of the
abyss of misery into which she
might fall if she got married.
The principal reason why men
also fight shy of matrimony is be-
cause they, too, see plenty of Awful
Examples.
When Tom goes 20 see his mar
ried chum and finds Il messy house
cluttered with the children's play
things and old clothes and newspa-
pers; when he sits down to a dinner
that would poison an ostrich, and
looks at Toms sloppy wife across
the table. there is nothing in it that
makes him want to establish a home
of his own.
When Sam sees the man next to
him worn and harassed, working
himself to death to pay the bills of
an eXtravagant wife who, like the
daughter of the horse leech. cries
More! more" he doesn't feel like
selling himself into slavery to milli-
ners and dressmakers to crafty any
WOman'S vanity.
When Henry goes out with the
Joneses, and Mrs. Jones whines and
lfetS ana Is peSFeQ ABOUT every
thing, and knocks poor old Jones
for everything from the state of the
weather to the menu at the restau-
rant, Henry chuckles to himself as
he lets himself into his bachelor
apartment, and says "Not for me!
No matrimony for me. l have had
an Awful Warning that has put
me off of it for life"
And these 'fraid cats forget that
there are also Good Examples, that
there are peaceful, happy homes and
husbands and wives who love each
other. who put each others happi-
ness before their own, who find joy
in companionship and who count
even sacrifice sweet when they
make it for each other.
ror marriage is what we make it.
We take out of it what we put
into it, and there is no marriage
that would not be a success if a
husband and wife, working together,
really tried to make it one.

There has been so much rain in
May that very little field work has
been done, often the men have got
ten damp and had to sit around the
fire for hours at a time. That has
been the time to hear them spin
yarns" and quote my Grandfather. -
Much of it would make interesting
history of the early days Of this sec
ton of the country.
Cotton chopping should be in full
r--t-g, some OF the fields are so
grassy that the chopper has to look
for the cotton. The farmer said
that to first give two good workings
wit hthe harrow would beat all the
hoes. He is working a piece of corn
in new ground field that way.
Some one said that he never did
get the grass out of his middles last
year. and the cotton was light; he
expected to make bale and only
nt2tae 400 pounds. The man is a
good farmer and it was because the
wet weather would not give him time
to kill the grass.
From that some one started the
soy bean subject, and the story was
told of the first soy, or as they were
about them in a farm paper. it was
at least twenty-five years ago; he
sent for a bushel, and without in
curing anything about their habits
<he planted them in the richest sort
pr ground. OF course they made a
tremendous crop: he waited too long
10 &ut them, and the consequence
was he had row all the way home.
Snhnnl MI
some planted them in their gardens,
some used them for slingsnots, and
in the promiscuous handling they
got pretty well scattered. That
brought the conversation back to the
urst of many things. One man sent
off and got velvet beans He planted
them with his corn in a rich basin.
The beans covered not only the face
OF the earth, but all the corn. There
was no chance for one man to gath
err that corn, so he called in his
neighbors and had q neighborhood
corn-pulling. He got about half of
the corn. some of the beans. and left
the fence down and had the neigh
'borhood floclls and herds in there for
a winters feast.
Next came the story that about q
hundred years ago there was no cot
ton in this part of the world One
man went south, and when he came
back he brought a bushel Of seed.
Next spring he planted it. Thought
1t must be planted in a bed and
transplanted. He heard the man he
bought the. seed from tell him how
to prepare the seed bed. SO he
sowed them in the right place, and
when they came up he had all the
negroes on his plantation Setting
out cotton plants" OF course not
one lived. He saw how they were
dying, so he let them alone. Those
IN the seed bed Gid well and he gath
ered the cotton, put everybody on
the place to pulling the cotton, cut
Off the bolls, and then with their
fingers they pulled the seed from the
lint. Even with all that trouble they
were delighted with the idea of spin
ming cotton cloth at home. Next

per acre. We have actually raised
that amount OF corn on limited areas
here on the college farm. 1t is
practicable to do it by proceeding
in the manner indicated. In the
attainment of this yield, we institute
ed and followed a plan Of procedure
similar to that described below:
First, the land was enriched with
ten tons or more of yard manure
broadcast over the soil and plowed
in. We used in addition 700 pounds
of fertilizer containing 10 per cent
phosphoric acid, 4 per cent Mir.
gen, and per cent potash. Mos
Of the fertilizer was put une%r ,ne
drill row. Two hundred :s5unds
were used as a side application when
the corn was about knee high FIRE.
auent, shallow cultivation was prac-.
ticed. Selected seed was used and
a virtually uniform stand obtained.
The cultivation was continued un-
til the crop was practically mature.

L. c., Nichols, Ca, writes:
Sudan Grass AS Hay Crop
/ wish to plant something for
hay this season, and wish to
know what to use for greatest
yield and best quality of hay. |
have been thinking about Sudan
grass. What do you think about
it as a hay crop? Is there any
thing else that would be better?
Quite q variety of crops may be
used for hay production in Georgia.
Among these are the cowpeas, the
velvet bean, the soy bean, sorghum,
millet, and Sudan grass. The cow
pea is one of our best known hay
crops, but the hay is somewhat diff
ficult to cure. 1t is, however, very
nutritious and palatable. In seed
ing this crop, use a grain drill. Sow
the seed at the rate of one bushel
per acre. We recommend the Brab-
ham and the Iron as the best va
rieties to use. 1t is good practice
to use a mixture of one-third to
one-fourth Of the amount Of sorg
hum or Sudan grass with the peas.
, This tends to support the mass of
vines and makes harvesting and
curing somewhat easier. The velvet
bean is not primarily a hay crop, yet
it can be used to some extent for
this purpose. This crop is more
valuable for soil enrichment and for
grain production than for hay
making
Sorghum may be planted by itself
or in combination with cowpeas or
soy beans. The hay is coarse in
quality and rather low in nutritive
elements as we'll. We think it best
to plant this crop in drills and cut
and shock until cured in the field.
The Amber and the Orange are two
of the earliest varieties. Cutting
should be delayed until the heads
mature. The yield will vary from
two to five tons per acre. Soy beans
belong to the family of 1egumes.
They are rich in nutrients. The
Laredo, the Otoo-tan, and the Mann
moth Yellow are probably the best
varieties for general cultivation.
They should be seeded at about the
same rate as coWpeas. In the case
of the small seeded varieties, how
ever, one-half to one gallon of seed
will be sufficient to plant an acre.
Soy beans may be cut and cured in
the same manner as cowpeas.
Millet is an excellent catch crop
and makes a fine yield of hay,
though the quality is not all that
could be desired. The best varie-
ties to plant in Georgia are the Ger
man and Hungarian. Millet should
be broadcasted as a rule and seed
ing should be done at the rate of
thirty to forty pounds per acre. 1t
is often good practice to SOW cow
pease with milIet.
Sudan grass makes a very good
quality of hay. 1t can be sown
broadcast or in drills. We prefer
the latter method. Seed only on
moist ground and use thirty pounds
of seed per acre. Early seeding is
preferable, but in your section, this
grass may be sown up to the fiji
teenth of July. Cut when the seed
are half out of the shuck. This crop
combines readily with cowpeas and
the combination makes a wonderful
ly fine hay. The yield will vary
from ono IN fbroa tone nov.

Raising Large Yield of Corn i'm
North GEORGIA

Raising Large Yield of Corn in
North Georgia
c. r. M, Canton, Ga, writes:
I am thinking of entering the
corn contest, and am anxious to
raise a large yield. / am going
to plant in rows five feet apart,
and wish to know how close to
leave the stalks in the drill?
What fertilizer would you adj
wise.
One wishing to raise an unusually
large crop of corn must be certain
to fertilize the land very generously
in order that there may be enough
available plant food therein to sus-
tain a large number of stalks per
acre. In planting prolific corn, we
have always pursued the policy of
making the rows four to four and
one-half feet apart and leaving the
stalks in the drill about foot
apart. When you do this, and oh.
tain a perfect stand there will be
approximately 10000 stalks per
acre. These should yield two ears
of corn each or 10000 ears per
acre. 1t takes about 100 ears of
prolific corn to make a bushel. You
would thus predicate your yield on
an outturn of 200 bushels per acre.
1t may frequently be impossible to
obtain so large a yield, because you
can not obtain uniform stand.
Neither will every stalk produce
two ears. There will be some stalks
that will fail to fruit. There will
be others which suffer from dis
ease. Some of the stalks will pro-
dIIon not hing much h1It pIlhhipe in,
place of ears. Insects may destroy
some of the stalks and seasonal con-
ditions of course will play an i'm
portant part in the yield. When all
these matters are taken into con
sideration, one would do exceeding
ly we'll to raise 100 bushels of corn

SALE Of MEDICINAL
INTOX|CANTS BARRED
BY SUPREME COURT

WASHINGTON, June 9.-The Will
lis-Campbell law prohibiting the sale
or importation of Intoxicating malt
liquor for medicinal purposes was
today delared valid and constitu-
tional by the supreme court.
The law known as the Evil
lis-Campbell beer act" was attacked
in appeals brought by the James
Everard's breweries, New York, and
by Edward and William w. Burk,
brews of Guinness Stout.
1t was contended that the national
prohibition amendment limited the
power of congress to legislation deal
ing with the use of intoxicating
liquors for beverage purposes and
that the states alone had authority
under their police powers to regu-
late the use of liquors for medicinal
purposes
The federal government and 25
states urged the court to interpret
the prohibition amendment as ieav-
ing discretion to determine what
constituted a legitimate use of in
toxicating liquors
