FARM EDUCATION
BY DIR. ANDREW M. SOULE

more of corn per acre In Georgia.
Good farmers average thirty-five to
forty bushels.
You must remember that in this
state there are a good many cotton
farmers. With themI corn is r1aN-
ter Of secondary Importance. T1Gsr
best land is planted to cotton: their
poorest, to corn. Their cotton Is
planted and cared for first. Their
corn occupies second place in their
minds. ALI this being true, you can
readily see that the attention which
has been given to the growing OF
corn in Iowa has often been lack.
ing in Georgia.
On the college farm here, which
was once. an old, wornout, cotton
plantation, there are now growing
sixty acres of alfalfa. From this
land we harvest from twelve to fiji
teen tons of silage per acre. We
are also obtaining three-fourths Of a
bale of cotton and upwards per acre
even under boil weevil conditions,
and from thirty-five to sixty bushels
of corn per acre. We also grow
cereals to excellent advantage in
the winter and a greater variety Of
grain and forage crops than you
could possibly raise in Iowa. This
is a state in which leguminous crops
may be made to predominant and the
soils can thus be enriched through
the establishment of a good rota tion
system of farm crops. Melilotus alba
or sweet clover has not been grown
to any appreciable extent as yet in
this state. Lime and incubation
would no doubt help to establish
this crop in Georgia in a compare
tiVelV short time.

very level-headed young person, Jo-
seph, and that she is making no mis-
take in choosing you. L think that
any girl who gets a husband who
admires her, and looks up to her,
and considers her happiness before
his own, is getting the very best
bargain that is in the matrimonial
market and that Lady Luck is her
twin sister, for most men in these
days seem to think that they con-
fer a favor on a woman by marry
ing her, and that she should be
down on her knees in gratitude to
them ever after.
You don't see why the girl loves
you because YOU are poor and fat
and homely. Well, you know wOm-
en- have more sense in love than
men have, and a woman doesn't just
look at the outside of an individual,
as a man does, and marry for that.
Any pretty face can catch a man.
All that a man asks before marriage
is that the girl have a peaches-and-
cream complexion and a slim, will
lowy figure. He doesn't even try
to find out whether she has got any
sense in her head or any love and
tenderness in her heart.
But women look into a mans SOUL
and if that is beautiful 1t doesn't
make any difference to them wheth-
er he looks like a sheik or has won
the ugly mans medal. Nor do they
care, if he is intelligent and inter
esting, whether he has got varnish
ed hair or a head as bald as an egg.
AS for keeping the girls love after
marriage, that is a chance that
every man takes on the one they
marry. But it isn't hard to Tetain
wife's affection. Just be good to
her and keep burning incense at her
shrine and you can't lose her.
Dear Dorothy Dix have been
keeping company with a man for
two years. We dearly love each
other, but this man has never asked
me to marry him, although he
speaks vaguely of our being happy
together some time. Would you con-
slider yourself engaged in a case like
this? This man is amply able to
marry. He is in business for him
self, is we'll off, and we are both
twenty-siX years of age.
l do not like to ask him what his
intentions are, as l am afraid he

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

would throw it up to me after we
were married. What do you think
Of this situation?
A DAILY READER.
Answer; Certainly you are not en-
gagged to the man. Before a wom-
an Is engaged to a man he has to
make a definite open-and-shut matri-
monial proposition, and this man
has never asked you to be his wife.
I should say he was a trifler, and
that he merely wanted some woman
who would love him and flatter him.
and entertain him, and whom he
could monopolize without burdening
himself with her support or having
to stand for any of the restrictions
Of married life.
The old story about the French
man who refused to marry the girl
to whom he was engaged because,
if he did so, he would have no pleas
ant place in which to spend his eve
nings has many counterparts in real
life. Many men enjoy feminine So
ciety that they can have in broken
doses to suit their taste and for
which they do not have to pay with
their vanity tickled by being loved.
They like to do a little lovemaking
themselves if it commits them to
nothing.
Your own common sense must tell
you that this man, who is able to
marry, does not really want you, or
else he would name the wedding day.
An ardent lover doesn't dilly-dally
and talk vaguely about future bliss.
He grabs the girl he desires and
rushes with her to the altar.
Certainly I think you should ask
this man what he means to do and
make him either put up or shut up.
He will respect you more for it than
he will for being an easy mark.
Dear Miss DiX-Among my ac-
quaintances is a man who has al
ways seemed to be a gentleman. Re-
Gently he extended an invitation to
me to so away for a weekend with
him. To me there is only one mean
ing in a proposition such as that,
and [ Indignantly refused. When |
told him I considered it an insult he
said that L was evil-minded, and that
he never intended anything that
wasn't perfectly proper. Don't you
think l was right? HELEN.
Answer: Absolutely, and it isn't
an evil mind, it is common sense,
and common prudence and decency
that makes a woman look upon such
an invitation as a gross affront.
Such excursions are simply the
thing that are not done by respecta.
BILE young women.
OF course, to the pure all things
are pure, and it is perfectly possible
for a man and woman to spend an
entirely proper weeke together
platonically discussing Shakespeare
and the musical glasses, but it would
take a great deal to convince a cyni.
cal world of the fact.
"Be thou pure as ice and chaste
as snow, thou shalt not escape cal
umny." Especially when you give
cause for Mrs. Grundy to suspicion
the worst, and as long as hotel reg
listers are admitted evidence in the
chronicles of scandal, a young wom-
an needs a chaperon when she goes
week-ending with any man outside
of her own immediate family.
For this is a censorious world, In
which aAgirl has to watch her step.
1t isn't enough for her just to be
good3 she has to act good,

Why Pecan Trees Shed Their Fruit
V. A. N, Ashburn, Ga, writes:
7 lave ten or twelve pecan trees
and three or four of them are
shedding all their fruit. Would
like to know what the trouble is
and remedy to apply to save next
years crop. They were fertiliZ-
ed in December with about three
hundred pounds stable manure
with some oat and wheat straw.
In February, I dug in twenty
five pounds of SD truck fer
tilizer to each tree. The nuts do
not show any signs of insects, so
figure there is some elemor+
lacking in the food the tree Is
getting.
Presumably, the nuts on your
pecan trees have been attacked by
what is known as "scab." This
trouble arises from their infestation
by fungus which attacks not only
the leaves and sprigs. but the nuts
as well. In case of a severe infes-
tation, the nuts may be rendered
worthless, Sometimes they fall pre-
maturely to the ground. or they may
leaves have fallen. This disease is
evidenced by dark spots which ap-
pear on the husks and cause them to
harden and crack. Some varieties
are much more subject to this dis
ease than others. Damage from this
source is much greater during wet
seasons tran in an average year.
The trees are also subject to this
disease when they are planted on
poorly drained lands. One of the
best ways to obviate Joss from this
source is to propagate those strains
of this tree that are most resistant
to this disease.
The best method of fighting this
trouble is through the use of Dor.
deaux mixture. This spray may be
prepared as follows:
Take three pounds of copper sui
plate and dissolve in twenty-five
gallons of water. Next Stake siz
pounds of stone lime and make ur
to twenty-five gallons with water
Pour the two solutions simultaneous
ly into third barrel through, q
strainer. This will give you fifty
gallons of Bordeaux mixture. Keer
this solution agitated and apply
promptly to the trees in the form OF
a fine spray or mist. The thorough
coating of the trees is necessary.
Apparently, you fortified these
trees quite literally, and they should
respond to the treatment you have
accorded them. You should exam
me your trees carefully to make sure
that they have not been attacked h,
borers In case they have. DESTROY
the borers. You should also make
observations as to tie presence NJ
The pecan case bearer, and, if vo,
lind evidence of their having attack
ed your trees, spray them at once
with arsenate of lead. No doubt vor
are acquainted with this formula anl
also understand how to use it So q,
10 secure the best results from its
application.
