TO THE BOYS' AND GIRLS' 4-H CLUBS OF AMERICA The occupation of the farmer is a noble one, and 1 know of no higher service one can render to mankind. The 4-H clubs of America are per forming a splendid work. Whatever strengthens the agricultural class of any community enhances the glory of our nation. JAMES J. DAVIS, U. S. Secretary of Labor. BE SURE YOU ARE RIGHT, THEN GO AHEAD That's what Lindbergh did when he gave his plane, the "Spirit of St. Louis," his own final, personal in spection before he stepped into the cockpit ' in New York previous to crossing the Atlantic. Four-H club work is right. Every body is saying . so. The psychologist, the economist, the sociologist and the educator approve it. The business U LP,....

I think that pretty good. Don't you? And then, too, 1 have sold about 30 eggs to other people for sitting eggs. J kept six pullets and one cock but I think I will sell them and my hens and by a pig for my club work next year. ' Don't you think that would be alright. Well Mr. Harris.we had our club meeting last Saturday and we certain ly did have a nice time. We played basketball and served cake. There wasn't anybody there but me, Boyd, and Elmer Southards. We decided to have the next club meeting qt Elmer's house. We said we would have to get after the boys and girls and get them to stirring about. Well I will close. Your friend, ELBERT CARPENTER. LOOK TO THIS DAY "For yesterday is already a dream, And', tomorrow, is only a vision ; But L today, well lived, makes every yesterday a lrianof happiness And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day." Such is the salutation uf the dawn. August 25, 1928, Dillard, Ga. Dear Mr. Harris : I will write you a few lines to let you know that 1 am just, getting along fine with my club work, or as well as expected. Well Mr. Harris, my fall chicks did not do so well. I set thirty eggs and hatched twenty-four baby chicks. Part of them. "died, but what did not sure are pretty.

Brannon, Extension Entomologist) In treating small amounts of seed, a water-tight barrel should be used, or some other - container that can be made air tight. The barrel (or other container) can be filled within a few inches of the. top with seed. Carbon disulphid should then be poured di- l rcctly on the seed, using at least one- halt cupful of carbon disulpmu to a barrel of seed. If the seed are heav ily infested usev a .fui! cup of the carbDnd.isulphid, Thr barrel 'sluudd be covered with a .double thickness of heavy wrapping .'. paper, tied tightly around the top -.and left !uv at least two days. The treated seed should then be examined. If any insects are still active, repeat the treatment, using a stronger dose. The barrels must be kept covered with the paper or insects will reinfest the seed. This treatment, will not injure seed for planting, feed or food. When ready for use spread the. seed out in the air and the gas will quickly disappear. The temperature should be above 75 degrees Farcnheit for best results. Fumigations should be done in the middle' of the day to take advantage of the warm temperature. If bins can be made fairly air-tight, iced can be treated in storage by using 20 pounds of carbon disulphid per 1,000 cubic feet of space. Pour the carbon disulphid on the seed and cover the seed with sacks to help hold the gas. If the bin has been made very tight less carbon disulphid can be used. NOTE: Carbon disulphid is, in flamable, therefore, lights of any kind should be kept away. Carbon tetrachlorid is a liquid used the same way that carbon disulphid is used, but it should be used twice as strong as carbon disulphid. Car bon tetrachlorid is non-inflamable. Use of Air Slaked Lime Air slaked lime has given good results in preventing damage of seed pests. In treating less than 1 bushel of seed, use 4 parts of air slaked lime to 1 part of seed. In treating 1 to 5 bushels "of seed, use 3 parts of air slaked lime to 1 part of seed. In treating .over 5 bushels of seed, use equal parts of air slaked lime and seed. The -lime should be thoroughly mixed with the seed before placing in storage. When seed are removed from storage they can be sifted from the lime or washed for food or feed purposes. Regardless of, bow well seed have been treated for insect they will be come re-infested if not properly pro tected. Jn treating large bins, apply a,, sec ond treatment two or three weeks af ter the first to insure control. Those who plan to use carbon dis ulphid or carbon tetrachlorid should go in together and buy the material in large quantities as the price is much less when bought in larger quantities. Mir. -J. H. Long of Norcross, Ga., and his son, Don, are visiting relatives in this county. Mr. Long moved from Macon nine years ago to get rich, so he states, in growing cotton. The bottom dropped out about the time of his first crop, so this year, he is raising no cotton. ' "IN ,UN IXXJTHERE IS STRENGTH?.. "7 - T -tj ,T,f.
