True Story Accepts the Challenge
Today, with brutal callousness never before
known in this countrys history, the powerful
forces of sin are challenging the very existence Of
every moral standard every sacredtradtion, every
cherished ideal of human conduct and thought.
The avowed purpose of this evil monster is to
inaugurate reign of RIGHTEOUSNESS and wicked
ness that will rival the moral corruption and
wickedness of ancient Rome. To uproot and
destroy our long jeaously guarded institutions of
marriage and the home; to wreck young lives
to blast young souls-to crush every trace of the
spiritual in mad, worldwide orgy of sensual
pleasure and wantonness this is the end and
aim of the forces opposed to Right, to Good, to
pure love and true human happiness.

of them? Mrs. N, Gadsden, Ala.
 A. All the various sorts or types may be set out after frost. Nearly all roses do better when set out in fall because early plantings establish root system more promptly, produce more and bet ter flowers the first season and are generally more resistant to various dis eases.
 Q. read in a magazine that many common Towering annuals may be planted in the fall. Won't the winter kill them? Miss D., Tnlladega, Ala.
 A. It is fact that many annuals can be planted in the fall and where the beds or borders are protected with q light mulch but little danger exist. Most of the seeds are slow to germi- nate and will rarely attain a size in time for the cold to injure. Some, as an example of the common ones that succeed, are peoples, pansies, snapdrag- ons, marigold, corn flowers, candy tuft. alyssum, etc.

 0, Is September the proper month to SOW the seed of perennial Towering
 plants? Miss O., Northport, Ala.
 A. The seed of nearly all perennials
 should be planted either in September or October. Perennial plants, especial 1y those that root deeply and flower
 early, should be put out. c. What is the best fertilizer to use
 in planting turnips when cultivated in
 drills? Mrs, L., Warrior, Ala.
 A. A liberal quantity of any well
 routed animal manure always gives fine results but if this is not available one
 must resort to bigh grade complete
 commercial fertilizers, such as is gener- ally used by truckers. Four hundred or more pounds, according to the natural fertility of the scil, should be used to the acre. o. When the blue or black musca-
 dines are used for making jams or jel- | lies are they to be treated the same as
 scuppernong grapes? Mrs. H., Fit. De-
 posit, Ala.
 A. Muscadines and various scupper-
 nongs belong to the same family and may be treated the same. o. In putting up home made vinegar is it necessary to boil it to keep and would sugar be essential? Miss T.,
 Leeds, Ala. A.Correct directions for making home
 made vinegar depends much on what you used to make it. Boiling is not necessary. The addition of some sugar to the fermenting material does greatly add to the quality of the finished prod uct. O.sDo plants produce any root growth
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-09-07

Preparation of the soil, always an important factor for a sccessful issue, should be attended to at the earliest possible moment. The great impor- tance of planting things at the proper time cannot be too strongly stressed. The fall months pass quickly and thou sands annually rush in at the last min ute in a frenzied haste to plant some thing after it is really too late to se- cure the greatest measure of success. Even farmers and professional truck growers who know better are proned to put off fail operations and thus pocket a monetary loss easily avoided. Perhaps the majority of people are al- ways going to be late. To be too late Is disappointment that all mortals and dread and most of us have expe- rienced the bitter anguish occasioned by putting off things that should have been done in season.
 What To Plant In Fall.
 The Age-Herald gets many letters which boiled down amounts to the re- peated question What can I plant now? There seems to be a curious idea that only the spring months are made for planting things. It is impossible to enumerate in these columns the great number of things that one may plant in any given month, but brief sum mary may help those who really need such information. It should be under- stood that all recommendations are based on climatic conditions that gen. orally obtain at Birmingham and those further north or south should make due allowance. Snap beans, beets, carrots, cabbage and collard plants, celery plants, endine, kale, mustard, lettuce, onion sets, English peas, parsley, rad ish. Spinach and turnips should be planted as early in the fall months as weather conditions will permit. Most

when they are in a dormant state? O. T., Cordova, Ala.
 A. Most plants do produce more or
 less root growth after top growth has
 ceased. This is why it is generally de sirable to set out in the fall, so the plant can begin to establish, R root sys. tenn to quickly support top growth mani fested later on.
 Q. I have had very. good luck with peonies but my plants, have. become too thick and need dividing. Can you tell
 me the best method to pursue? Mrs. S., Florence, Ala.
 A. In this latitude, peonies ought to
 be divided about frost time. The clump
 of tubers should be carefully uncov-
 cred, cut apart with sharp knife, bv- ing careful to leave as many as three
 to five eyes to the plant and then reset

all of the quick or early spring flower
 ing bulbs should be planted. Many
 perennial Towering plants, particularly
 those that flower in spring and early
 summer, should be planted in the fall, | whether seed or plants are to be used.
 There is much shrubbery; in fact, the
 bulk of it, that does better when planted
 in the fall months, Fruits, nuts and
 berries of nearly every sort generally
 succeed best with fall planting, As a | general rule, when at all permissible, l fall plantings will give better results in the south than spring will afford All
 growing plants demand and consume | food just as man or other conscious | creatures do, yet some people assume that the soil is an inexhaustible store- house of plant food and that only oc-
 casionally does it need to be replen-
 ished. No one would think of fatten- ing pig in pen from the leavings of
 predecessor, yet we expect plants to grow, produce and fatten us when we
 offer or give no aid in the way of an | adequate ration. The truth of the mat
 ter is, we demand and expect too much | from the soil that is nearly always neg lected and on a starvation ration.
 Planters in general assume that If he feeds the soil in the spring there will
 be enough left over to support fall or
 successive crop. Thinking men must
 know that this theory is the direct
 cause of many disastrous failures, A l curious idea seems to prevail that fall
 is no time to fertilize and this doctrine
 is correct when applied to trees and
 other plants that are going into dor nancy, because a dormant plant, like
 man asleep, cannot very we'll make
 use of food. Any plant in an active
 state of growth, no matter what the
 season, requires food and unless pro- l vided where the soil is deficient, repro
