F ARM EDUCA TON
BY DIR. ANDREW M. SOULE

pletely as to exclude other crops,
or, il they are grown alongside OIL
it, then a good part of the food which
they might naturally expect to as
simulate goes into the nut grass. 1t
is a very good illustration, / think,
Of the seeding of tares in a Guilt
waited crop.
One should struggle as consistent
ly and effectively as possible to de-
stroy this grass. The best way to
accomplish this end in so far as our
knowledge goes is through the me-
dunn of smother crops. We suggest
that you plant the area infested With
this grass to velvet beans. Ordina-
rily, we would space them in wide
rows, but for the purpose you have
in mind, in checks not over five
feet apart. Probably it would be bet
ter to have the vines only two and
one-half feet apart in the drill.
The velvet bean is a soil-enriching
crop and produces a valuable grain.
1t spreads and covers the land up
completely and constitutes one OF
the best smother crops we can rec
ommend for use in your section of
the state. At the end of the season.
the velvet beans may be harvested
for hay or for grain. Then the land
should be Immediately planted to
hairy vetch and oats. Continue this
practice for a period of three years.
and I think you will be surprised to
find how much Of the nut grass you
have destroyed. We have been able
to clean up some infested areas on
our farm by following this proceed
ure for a period of from three to
five years.

SuIphate OF Ammonia for Use In
dor Corn

SuIphate OF Ammonia for Use In
der Corn
A. M. A., Newborn, Ga,
writes: Is sulphate of ammonia
as good as nitrate of soda for
use around corn, or is it too slow
acting? If soda is worth $50 per
ton. what would you value the
sulphate of ammonia?
A standard grade of sulphate of
will contain approximate
ly 81 per cent of nitrogen or APO
pounds per ton. A standard grade
of nitrate of soda will contain about
Is per cent of nitrogen or 800 pounds
per ton. The nitrogen contained in
either one of these carriers of this
element will be found useful to
growing crops in Georgia. The nitro.
gen in nitrate of soda is presumed
to become more quickly available
than that in sulphate of ammonia.
There is not much difference, how
ever, from a practicable point of
view, as to the availability. Nitrate
of soda is more extensively used for
topdressing purposes than sulphate
of ammonia.
When nitrate of soda is worth
$50 per ton, a pound of available
nitrogen costs approximately nine
teen cents. Applying this price to
the amount of nitrogen contained
in a ton of sulphate of ammonia
we find it will be worth about $50
per ton. If you can buy it at the
figure indicated, or a lower price
we think you can use it in connec
ton with most farm crops with the
same advantage that would accrue
from the use of nitrate Of soda.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

to marry her, that she wants to put
silencer upon them.
"No business woman objects to
hearing people say that her en-
ployer considers her a marvel Of eff
cheney, but she doesn't like it when
they whisper that she is having an
affair with a married man.
mo married woman is peeved be-
cause the neighbors talk about what
model wife and mother she is. 1t
is only when they shrug their shout
ders and look at her askance, and
she knows that her comings and
goings furnish forth the feast for
the Babies Welfare Sewing circle
that she wishes that every female
on her block had been born blind
and dumb.
"Of course, you may know that
you are innocent, but other people
can't know that They can only
judge by appearances, and If you
give a iifelike and convincing ap-
pearance of wrong-doing, they are
not to blame for drawing a logical
conclusion from your actions.
'The girl who looks. and dresses,
and acts like woman Of the streets
has no right to complain if men
insult her and people take her to be
what she seems to be. Nor has the
girl who goes out with married men
just cause to be offended If gossip
credits her with leading an irregu-
lar life, Nor need the giddy married
woman be astonished when other
matrons draw their skirts aside from
her mud-spattered ones.
Every woman's good name is in
her own keeping, and if she does
not think enough of it to guard it,
she certainly can't expect the gen
eral public to undertake the job. 1t
is asking a little too much of a sen.
sation-loving world to cover up our
wrong-doing with the mantle Of
silence.
80 it isn't enough just to be good.
You must look good and act good
You must register virtue, as Our
movie friends say. Then you won't
object to what people say about you
You will simply lap it up. 1t Is only
when we are afraid of what they
will say about us that we hear the
tongues of our neighbors."

Varieties of Sorghum Suited for
Silage

A. L. r., Milledgeville, Ga,
writes: Please give me the name
of the best variety of sorghum
cane that will give the largest
tonnage of silage per acre. How
should it be planted, and how
much seed should be usel per
acre? What is an average yield?
A number of varieties of sorghum
can be grown for the purpose you
have in mind with satisfaction and
advantage. The variety we have
found the most useful from our point
of view is the Red Head or Sumac.
This is a stocky variety. but never
theless makes a good development
and reaches height of eight to ten
feet in favorable seasons. We plant
this crop as rule four feet
apart. On thin land, the spac-
ing should be even wider. We plant
rather thickly in the drill so as to
have the stalks stand not over four
to six inches apart. We use a gal
lon and upward of seed per acre.
We plant with a drill in which q
special plate for seeding sorghum
is inserted We have obt lined as
high as fifteen tons of sorghum
silage per acre. Sorghum should not
be cut for silage until the seed
heads are mature. Even then, we
allow it to wilt for a few hours be-
fore cutting.
