Remedy With Watermelons FIELD SANITATION IS GOOD PRACTICE Watermelon Crop Grows in Im portance as Boll Weevil Advances. It is easily possible to prevent fitem-end rot of watermelons in transit by treatment at time of loading, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Losses in watermelon shipments from Georgia and Florida last year were extremely heavy, according to reports received at the Bureau of Markets through its inspection service. By far the greater part of the wastage was due to stem-rot, though the disease is subject to control by a simple method of stem disinfection at loading time. Disinfect Stems with Bluestone. Properly applied, the treatment con sists of two steps?recutting the stem of the melon at time of loading in the car, so that a firm green surface may be obtained, and application of a homemade or commercial disinfeci Cl tl f nucfn i r\ flin nnf iu 11 V |y?^vv IU HIV I I v vi I I This should contain <> per cent bluo-| stone as a fungicide. Such a paste; is now available on the market. The) treatment is not elective when mel-i ons are loaded with dead stems, a* the fungicide is of service only when it forms a barrier between the freshly cut surface of a healthy green stem and infection from without. As the melons are packed in the car, have the stem ends turned outward; while a second man or boy with a sharp knife cuts off a portion of the stem and with a small brush applies a dab of paste to the fresh surface. One man can accomplish this treatment without interfering with the speed of loading and can keep up with two packers. A quart of paste, costing only a small amount, will be needed for each car. This treatment, first recommended in the four Southeastern States in 1919, was fairly well applied in Georgia and Florida that season. At) that time the United States Department of Agriculture was able to maintain agents in the field for the pur-' pose of demonstrating the correct method of disinfecting the stems, and the results of the work accomplished were very satisfactory.

This year the State colleges of aggriculture at Athens, Ga., and Gainesville, Fla., are prepared to give advict and assistance to the melon grow ers in the application of the stem treatment. As a contrast to tho many reports recivcd last year of cars curtaining wastage amounting in many instances to as much as 50 and occasionally 1 JO per cent of the load, the uepartment ot Agriculture lias on 'iiol a series of reports obtai md in UUi) on cars shipped from stem-en !rot territory and treated imler Mioci vismn of an agent in the field with axei Hge losses of lesr than '2 per cent. Additional Precautions. Field sanitation is an important practice. All rotting melons should be collected at least once a week and removed from the fields, after which the carts used for hauling shnuld be washed with a 2 per ce.it solution of bluestone. Melons should be carefully handled to avoid any possible , bruises or cutting, especially the slash ing of fruits that often occurs when cutting them from the vines. The cutters munt never touch or cut into a decayed melon. Knives may be disinfected with a 2 per cent formaldehyde solution. Melons should be cut with as long stems as possible when harvested, and they should be loaded within a few hours after cutting. Before loading, the car should be thoroughly cleaned and provided with bedding of| dry straw. The sides of the carl should be lined with so,no heavy pa-! per, and care should be taken to see j that the ventilators are opened. Attention to details of handling, loading, and treating melons will materially reduce losses in transit from stem-end rot, and it is evident to anyone famil-i iar with conditions at the market that these losses must bo reduced if the farmer is to continue to have a market for his produce. ?. o FEAR CAUSES FAILURE. Many a merchant has failed in I business when it was not necessary, j Others have taken failure as a supposed road to success in money get ting, only to find out that it is any* J thing else but a money-making way.! In the course of twenty years ex-| perience at the bar, the history ot i j those who failed, some with apparent j these men still bad off as to finan-1 cial condition, and many of them gain as things turned out, shows! finally down and out. It does not pay to fail. It does pay to have the backbone and nerve to pull the business out in the face of the most trying circumstances; for. in the same way we study the his-1 tory of those who have toiled early and late, and made ends meet in some way arid went on and they have sue- j ceeded. Therefore experience wiil show that it does not pay to fail in business, although it is an easy way out of tlie perplexing problems that will best even the smallest operator. The old saying is always true, to :he effect that honesty is the best policy. Not only in the strict sense ,)f the word honesty, but in the sense that it is best to so act that all the world will have to know that you arc honest. In many cases of failure where creditors lose nearly all they have I r? \ m 4 r?/l " ? - * - 1 - ~ uMcnvt-u, me midjccus were iorced mof what the creditors might do to to failure mainly by unfounding fea* them. Some cannot stand it to he dunned for money when they have none just then to pay. They will not treat for still another extension or pray for some kind of a compromise. Fear eats them by day and by j night. Finally they can stand the stress no longer and at once make an assignment, or file a petition in the court of bankruptcy. Fear i.- a good .thing in a way. It warns a man of (danger, lie can then take -lops to [protect himself. Therp is a kind of | fear, however, that leads the sub: iect too far. Under such stress as this kind of fear can oeate, a man is ready to get rid of everything he can and at once. Time is usually what clicy need. Some will not ask for it. They seem to be afraid to ask it. Here igain is where fear comes in to work its injury. * Perhaps it is a good, really strong ! nerve that a man needs to get him L rhro?gh successfully. ?- v ' ' . i . . I \ o . I ?'#*. THE HORRY HERALD, C THK HEIGHTS. By Klla Wheeler Wilcox. I cried, "Dear Angel, lead me to tlu heights And spur me to the top." The Angel answered, "Stop And set they house in order; make it fair For absent ones who may he speeding there; Then we will talk of heights." I put my house in order. "Now lead me on!" The Angel said, "Not yet; Thy garden is beset By thorns and tares; go weed it, so all those Who come to gaze may find the unvexed rose; Then we will journey on." 1 weeded well my garden. "All is done." The Angel shook his head. "A beggar stands," ho said, "Outside thy gates; till thou hast given hood And soothed his sorrow and supplied his need, i.

He lacks thy courage; cheer him through the day. Then we will cry 'At last!'" I helped my weaker brother. "Now the heights, O guide me, Angel guide!" The presence at my side, With radiant face, said: "Look where we are now!" And lo! we stood upon tho mountain's brow?

Walhalla. | I note that you say the corn was planted rather thick on well manured ground. Suckers usually form badly on land that is well manured or is rich in nitrogen. The suckers will be of considerable value if you want to put the corn in a silo. If not, they will do no injury to the yield of the corn. In fact, it always injures the corn More than it helps it to pull suckers. No matter for what pur pose the corn is grown, it will pay to leave the suckers alone. This has been the results in numerous experiments in different states. I would like information in regard lo keeping onions during the winter months.?J. W. H. Winnsboro. Well-matured onions may be easily kept throughout the winter by placing1 them in slatted crates or slatted shelves and storing them in a cool, dry place. The trouble is usually in keeping the onions in good condition^ during the months of July, August! and September. If you can Iceepj them throuirh these months there is usually little trouble in keeping them through the winter. My Horse is aflVcted with the heaves; please advise treatment.? J. FT. A. There is no cure for this condition, but the symptoms can be greatly relieved l>v feeding less hay and more oats. Feed the hay in the evening and sprinkle it with water. Give the j'tretced animal one table spoonful of Fowler's solution of arsenic with the feed twice a day. Can you jrive ine advice on harvesting and curing sage??,T. J. M. Meriwether. The best ime to harvest sage is soon after the plant begins to bloom or when practically all of the leaves have reached maturity. The entire plant may be cut and hung up to dry; or if you do not care to destroy the plant you may remove about onehalf to two-thirds of the branches. Where sage is grown in a small way the leaves are sometimes picked by hand while green and placed in trays and allowed to dry in the shade. It is better to cure the sage in the shade, as the leaves become parched and crumble badly when placed directly in the sun. After the leaves have become thoroughly dried they may be placed in bags, packed tightly and hung on the wall where they will get a free circulation of air.

It rarely happens that the queen will go through an empty super to reoch the brood chamber above it.
