should marry under twenty-one, so

able age. instead of being beyond it..
I set thousands upon thousands
of letters from miserable wives and
at least 80 per cent of these begin
by saying, 81 married when I was
sixteen or seventeen years old when
I was too young to know what was
doing. NV husband and I have moth
ing in common, and | have fallen In
love with another man who IS my

That is the almost inevitable Sc.
quence Of early marriages. BY the
time the girl-wife is grown up she
IS tired of the boy Of her youthful
fancy. She is tired of the drUdgery
of matrimony, thrust upon her too
early. She is disconnected, peevish.
She longs for love and romance, and
she is pretty sure TO meet some man
who satisfies her mature taste. SO
congratulate yourself that at tWen'
ty-one you are still free and that
you are not in danger of making the
mistakes that your friends who mar
ried too young probably have made.
Above all, don't get in a panic about
not being married and settled, and
rush into an idiotic alliance just to
save yourself from being an old
maid.
Marriage ages woman. Your
friends who are matrons with babies
are, in effect, five years older than
you are. So I would advise you to
get out of the married crowd and go
with the younger set, where you be.
long. Otherwise you will be classed
as a spinster Instead of the young
girl you really are. Perhaps going
back to college will be as good q way
as any to do this, but it is hard to
resume interrupted studies, so why
not take up a business course or a
domestic science course at home?
At any rate, thank God that you

1t will be seen from these analyses
that Napier grass is richer in pro-
tein than any Of the other hays
named. An analysis Of the other
grasses when quite young would
probably show them to be as rich
as Napier grass in protein. AS Ma
pier grass becomes more mature, it
is quite certain that the per cent
of protein will decrease while the
fiber will show an increase.
Napier grass will make some
growth on any well-drained sol.
However, it is best to select good
land for it. Land such as would
be used for sugar cane will be about
right. If it is to be fed green, it
is important to locate the field as
near the place of feeding as possible
so as to avoid undue handling Of the
bulky. green material.
Yields of forty to sixty tons of
green material per acre have been
reported. On unusually good land,
with a favorable season, such yields
might be obtained. Ordinarily, less
than half the above amounts will
be the yield.
Napier grass is sometimes start
ed by sowing the seed in flats and
later transplanting the resulting
seedlings to the field. This is n
rarely used method. The usual
method Of starting a new field Of
Napier grass is to use canes that
were bedded and carried through
the winter.
If the canes are plentiful, they
may be put in burrows and covered
just as is commonly done with SUI
gar cane The canes should be COW
cred four or five inches in sandy
land and somewhat less in clay land
If canes are scarce, they may be
cut in pieces with one "eye" on
each piece The cut is made just
below each joint. A long slanting
cut should be made. The pieces
should then be stuck slantingly in
tn eground, eye part downward. In
the ground, stick so the eye will he
four or five inches deep; on clay
land, somewhat shallower planting
must be used.
After some growth has been made
the root clumps may be taken up
and divided and other areas may
be planted or those hills failing to
grow from the canes may be re-
planted.
Inc rows TOR Napier grass SnOulu
be fixe or six feet apart, and if sec
tons of the cane or divided roots,
| are used for planting, the hills
should be three or four feet apart.
No fertilizer tests have been con-
Quoted with Napier grass. Hence it
is impossible to state definitely just
what mixtures will be best if it is
desired to use fertilizers. On such
crop as Napier grass, especially
when planted on good land, 1t is
doubtful whether commercial fertil-
izers will pay. Nitrate Of soda
would greatly stimulate growth for
one year at least, but the use OF
| nitrate OF soda alone would, in all
probability, in the end be disap-
pointing. A fertilizer carrying a
| high percentage Of nitrogen bal
anced with acid phosphate will be
| more desirable.
Stable manure is An excellent fer
tilizer to apply to Napier grass. A
broadcast application of manure on
any but the richest soils is highly
desirable.
Napier grass to be profitable,
must as a general rule be grown on
land that is fertile enough to pro
duce good crops without CONNER
cial fertilizers, or it should be grown

Do all men accuse their wives of be-
ing jealous when their wives try to
keep them from doing silly things?
MRS. A. S.
Answer:
Alas, Mrs. A. S., for I fear that
your case is that Of woman without
a sense of humor who is married to
the village cutup, which is always a
pity because the woman gets so
many unnecessary and unintended
wounds. Also, alas. most husbands
like to maks their wives the butt OF
their merry iests, and the oldest and
| most common husband joke in the
! world is for a man to tease his wife
about being jealous of him and to
represent himself as a gay Lotharlo
VINO is a perfect devil among the
women. If the wife is dark, he is
always describing the charms OF
Some imaginary blonde. If the wife
| is fair, he invents a ravishing bru-
! nette.
Run over the list Of your acquain-
I tauces. You will recall half a dozen
men whose favorite dinner table
story is about how green-eyed their
! wives set every time they look at
another woman. And sometimes the
wives bite their lips to keep from

women.

NOR and meet the situation as it is.
! There is nothing to be mortified
about in it. And don't imagine that
! it belittles you in other people s
! eyes.
They have heard the same old
cracks so many times and they are
Just as bored by them as you are.
They also would like to burst into
tears when a husband starts out on
the ancient wife jealousy wheeze.

FARM EDUCATION
BY DIR. ANDREW M. SOULE

On land that has been enriched with
stable manure.
Just as soon as the young shoots
Of Napier grass get a few inches
above the surface, cultivation should
start. The cultivation should be
about like that given corn. Each
ar, Napier grass should be given
enough cultivation to keep down
weeds.
Napier grass is used in Georgia
for about the same purposes as cat
tail millet, namely, temporary pas
tllre and cutting to feed green. ~
makes an abundance of green reed
which, judging from chemical analy-
sis, should be- excellent.
Very little Napier grass has been
CIT and cured for hay. 1t should
make at least fair grade of coarse
hay, if cut while young and tender.
The comparatively high yields of
Napier grass have naturally given
rise to the idea that it is good
silage plant. Little has, so far, been
made into silage.
Experimenters report that cattle
refuse to eat anything but blades in
the silage made from mature Napier
p w.
hard an dwoody. No one so far as
the writer knows has tried enciling
young shoots of Napier grass and
whether good silage could be made
from the young shoots is not known.
However, a good grade of silage
cannot usually be made from inn
mature plants of any kind.
| Composition Of Barn Lot Manure
S. II. S., Bonaire, Ga, writes:
Please tell me the analysis Of
| barnyard manure.
Yard manures vary a good deal
in composition, depending upon the
treatment to which they have been
| subjected, the class and age of ami
( mails from which they have been
| derived, and the character Of food
fed The amount of nitrogen varies
from a to 8 Of 1 per cent. This
| is equivalent to from eight to six
teen pounds per ton. The phos-
phoric acid content varies from 2
to a per cent per 100 pounds, which
is equivalent to from four to eight
pounds of this material per ton. The
percentage Of potash is just exactly
the same as that of nitrogen, the
| gross amount in a ton of manure be-
ing from eight to sixteen pounds. An
average ton of yard manure will
probably not contain more than ten
pounds of nitrogen, five pounds of
phosphoric acid and ten pounds OF
potash. You will thus see that 1t
is relatively speaking, a low-grade
material, but it eXerts an influence
in the soil quite out of proportion
to its composition. This is due to
the fermentation it induces and the
| favorable action it seems to exert
on the bacterial life of the soil.

Introducing Napier Grass to Georgia
Tell us about Napier grass. We
hear a lot about it these days, and
we would like to know all the facts
pertaining to it's growth and use
in Georgia. Thus commanded by
insistent correspondents, the writer
has done his best to secure and in
terpret the situation relative to the
merits OF this grass correctly. For
tunately for all concerned, Prof. IL.
c. Appleton, field crop specialist. has
just completed a study Of Napier
grass and, its adaptation to our
state. Thus, first hand information
of the most dependable type is avail
able. If you are interested in this
grass, read what he has to say con-
corning it.
Napier grass is tall, coarse
grass greatly resembling japanese
sugar cane in appearance. If allow
ed to grow for the entire season,
the canes may. on good land, reach
a height of fifteen feet or more.
On ordinary land, the growth will
be less.
When young, the plants are ten
der. If, however, the canes are al
lowed to grow too long before cut
ting, they become harsh and woody
During the growing season, it can
be cut as often as desired. After
cutting, the roots will send out new
shoots, and a continuous supply OF
feed may be harvested from early
summer until the topgrowth is kill
ed by frost in the fall
1t is not necessary to plant Ma
pier grass every year. When once
established, it will continue to come
back each year from the roots. Wher
desired, it can be killed, and is there
fore not likely to become a pest.
Just how far north the roots will
survive the winter cannot be def
nitely stated. For the past two win
ters they have apparently not beer
injured at Athens.
The following table gives a com
parison of the green fodder from
Napier grass with that of other well
known plants:

mental congress moved ito invite
John Paul Jones, Esquire, gent, of
Virginia, master mariner, to lay be-
fore the committee such information
and advice as may seem to him use
full in assisting the said committee
to discharge it's labors." John Paul
Jones' response marked the begin
ming of his services to the colonies
services so important that Jones
was henceforth known as the
founder of the American navy"
