Watermelon seed are treated in
order to kill the spores of injurious
fungi, such as the anthracnose and
the wilt fungi, that may be attached
to the surface of the seed and thus
prevent the early infection of the
young seedlings. The process is so
simple and inexpensive that the
grower can hardly afford to plant
seed that have not been treated.
In a wooden or enameled vessel
dissolve solution of 1-8 ounce of
corrosive sublimate (bi-chloride of
mercury in 1 gallon of water. At
ter the chemical has dissolved, pour
IN the seed and stir for five minutes.
Then pour off the solution and wash
the seed thoroughly in clean water.
If the seed cannot be planted at
once, they should be spread out and
dried quickly, and then store in a
clean bag. Corrosive sublimate is a
violent poison. Precautions should
be taken, therefore, to prevent ami
mails from drinking the solution.
X. l.. Vansant, County Agent,
states that he has just received a sup
ply of bulletins on watermelon Gull

ton on seed treatment, spraying va

INTERESTING MEETING
HELD WITH AUSTELL
FARMING INTERESTS
County Agent Vansant and Prof
Mobley Talk to Farmers on
Insect Control in Crops

A very interesting farmers meet
ing was held at Austell on Monday
night with a good representation of
the different farming interests pres
ent. R. L. Vansant, County Agent,
and Prof. M. D. Mobley, Agricultural
Teacher in the Austell school, were
present and made talks on co-opera-
tive community works and insect con-
troll. After the talks, all farmers
present took an active part in dis
cussion on insect control and the
value of a farmers club for Austell
community. So keen was the inter
est that club was organized with
r. c. Cousins as president, j. A.
Nahum v:ce-president, and /. A. Ba-
ker secretary and treasurer. The of
ficers made an appeal to the farmers
for assistance in making the organ
ization function to the best interest
of all concerned.
With the assistance of Messrs.
Vansant and Mobley the officers of
the club will formulate some definite
plan of work for the organization
and present this plan at the next
meeting.
The County Agent states that the
farmers of Cobb county are begin
ming to realize the Importance of
community cooperation and that if
the interest in this work can be con-
tinued some outstanding results will
be seen in years to come.

Mells Station Resi-
dents Ask For Car Stop

The Georgia public service COM
mission on Wednesday of last week
heard a petition from residents of
Mells Station, between Atlanta and
Marietta, asking that cars of the At
lanta Northern railroad be stopped
there.
Preston S. Arkwright, president of
the Georgia Railwa and Power COM
pany, appeared in opposition to the
request, declaring that there are al
read too many stops on that line.
The large number of stops, he said,
was the principal cause of the com
pany's inability to maintain sched-
ules on the line and said patrons were
asking that some stops be eliminated.
Lee Fowler, Pat Nell, Lindsey
Camp and others appeared in support
OF the petition. Mr.. Nell, answering
Mr.. Arkwright, said the slow service
was due to use of cars equipped with
motors intended only to pull one car
and that one car and two trailers
were often pulled 1t was shown
that If the new stop is granted, the
distance between Miles stop and Nell
will be 900 feet, and the distance be-
tween Nell and Motley 889 feet.
Others appearing against the petit
ton were F. L. Butler, vice-president
and general operating manager of
the company; Motorman j. W. Gar
ner and Conductor T. L. McBrayer.

possibly it might disrupt the gold
standard of the world, upon which
commerce and industry depends. Any
great cheapening of gold certainly
would render 1t much less adaptable
as a standard of value.
The practical side of science during
the year has been demonstrated by a
number of revolutionary Inventions
which still are in the experimental
stage. One Of these is the mercury
steam boiler, where mercury Is vapor-
lied instead of water. 1t is claimed
that this will prove a tremendous ad-
vance in power plants, due not only
to the great expansion powers of
mercury vapor. but also to the fact
that all the vapor used can be recov-
cred and used over again, thus cheap
ening the process. If 1t were not for
this the engine would be worthless
for practical purposes, due to the fact
| that mercury costs a great deal more
| than water.

increasing or regulating the growth
of plants by time exposure to diff
ferent kinds OF light. The principle
behind this are not yet very clear.
but 1t means a possible revolution in
agriculture in the future.
Archaeology and anthropology have
gained considerable impetus during
the year.
Perhaps the most notable excava-
tions have been those of the Carnegie
institution in unearthing the buried
civilization of the Maya people.
The Near East, with the conclusion
OF the war, has been opened UP to ex-
cavators, with the tremendous posi-
bilities of new discoveries on the sites
where human civilization first devel-
oped and where Christianity was
born.
Excavations have been pushed by
European scholars on the sites of the
