ATLANTA VICE COMMISSION J ORDERS SPEEDY CLEAN-UP (Continued from page 1) of the subject and consider the question of an industrial course in the grammar schools. "There is another class of children that are neglected, whose parents do < not have to work, but who permit ? their children to roam the streets, and 1 go to place of questionable amuse- i ment, thus forming habits that will < almost certainly lead to immorality. I "Another deplorable fact is that < large numbers of children of both I races are allowed to roam the streets < without parent, guardian or chaperon, ' until late hours of the night, frequent- i ing places of questionable amusement, i and we believe that this should be < remedied by proper police regulation. ! Recommend Schools as Community Centers. "We believe that more attention ' should be given to helpful amuse- 1 ments for the children and young people of our city, and to this end would suggest that the board of education be requested to allow public 1 school buildings to be used as com- 1 munity centers, where the children, with their parents, can congregate in ' the afternoon and evenings. "We believe it would be a Rood idea for the board of education to elect ' one or more male instructors on sex- * ual hygiene for the boys of the seventh and eighth grades of the gram- : mar schools and in the high school, to visit these various schools at stat- 1 ed periods, having the boys segre- ' gated to themselves, and lecture and ' instruct them on this subject. "There is a class of women who fre- ; quent our prominent streets, accosting men and young boys, inviting ' them to a life of shame and degrada- ' tion, and, owing to the increasing population of our city, this form of vice 1 is becoming a serious menace and ' should be obliterated, and, we believe can be done without evil effects, and ' we recommend that our police com- ' mission take proper steps in this direction. ' "From a careful investigation we ' are led to doubt that what is known as 1 tne 'white slave' traffic is being conducted to any considerably extent in this city, but we have information ' that there are some men and women ' operating within the state of Georgia 1 along similar lines who are enticing ! young girls to the cities from the ' smaller towns in the state, and we recommend that our city authorities take this matter up with our repre- ! sentatives in the legislature with a view to having enacted laws similar to ' those now enforced by the Federal government, to stamp out this 'white 1 slave' traffic, as the Federal laws do 1 not apply to offenses within a state. 1 "Furthermore, we have information ' that girls of respectable families in ' this city are being approached on the streets in an attempt to lead them 1 astray. Men and women meet on the 1 corners of our principal streets, where girls are waiting to take the cars for their homes, and we recommend that the police hoard take such steps as will bring to justice and punishment all such persons as may be engaged in this inamous attempt and insult to innocent girls. "Eliminate Double Stardard of Morality." "We should do away with the ( double standard of morality, which winks at sexual immorality in men, . but condemns it in women. Let the women insist upon morality in men? HATYIQIIH if TnofKo Kait fV*nf uw..?w<?V* <V> Vllt tliat ACAliai contenence is urgently necessary from both a moral and physical standpoints , "There is every reason why restraint should be exercised in grant- , ing a marriage license or in perform- , ing the ceremony. The stand taken , recently by a minister in Chicago, who declared he would henceforth demand a certificate of health from a reputable physician before he would perform the marriage ceremony, should open the way for a crusade that could do an immense amount of , good. j "No reasonable person could say that the romance of marriage would ( be affected by such a certificate de- , manded for all. It would not cast a reflection upon either party. If all f Ka *? ? ? - - ? 1 * v?? nuiiioici.1 ui tnv country would demand a premarital certificate of health, we soon would have a state of affairs far better than any legal , measures could ever provide. Strong Suppression Policy is Urged The commission then urges homes ( for unfortunate women and girls and separate parks for negroes and con- < eludes: i "Your commission does not approve ] of legal segregation, but earnestly de- < sires the absolute suppression of the evil. We fear, however, that it is impossible to absolutely drive it out? \ and are, therefore, led to believe that i in addition to the enforcement of law, < a strong policy of repression should be i the policy pursued by us. 1 "What we mean is to commence and i continue a campaign of education, not < alone in the schools but in the homes, i \ by driving from our midst the assig- i nation houses, which if let alone, will 1 seriously made inroads on the residen- t tial portions of the city; by repressing 3 the evil as seen in the "street walker', < SOUTH CAROLINA EXPERIMENT STATION Press Bulletin No. 89. rhe Growing of Alfalfa in South Carolina. Recently there have been a number yf inquiries in regard to alfalfa received at this office. Our experiments with this crop will not warrant our recommending it as a safe one for this state. Our soils can be made to grow it, and it is being done in several sections of the state, with fairly good results, but the large number of failures and the cost of producing it are drawbacks to success with more certainty on cowpeas, sorghum and peas, and oats and vetch. With these crops he can secure better results, and with less cost. For those who are contemplating the growing of alfalfa, one of the best ways of getting results is to start preparing the land at least one year previous to the time of sowing the seed. Unless the land is rich, well drained, and free from weed and grass seed, it will not be profitable to sow alfalfa. In the fall, break the land deep, and apply a ton of lime per acre, harrowing this in well. In about one week apply stable manure at the rate of from five to ten tons per acre, and harrow this in. Then, during some moist period in September, or October, the earlier the better. sow bur clover, crimson clover or vetch, inoculating the seed when sown or use soil from the field where the crop has been grown successfully. Use a liberal amount of complete fertilizer at this time. In the spring as soon as the crop is taken from the land, plow it deep and thoroughly again and apply 1,000 pounds of lime. Sow cowpeas broadcast, and give a liberal application of a complete fertilizer. Do not apply stable manure at this time, as it will serve to spread weed and grass seed. The stand of peas should be thick in order that the weed and grass will not get started. In the fall cut the peas for hay and plow the land shallow, or if it is a light sandy loam, discing is all that is necessary. Apply lime again at the rate of 1,000 pounds per acre, and harrow it in. Alfalfa should not be sown on a loose and dry seed bed. Sow the seed during some moist period between the last of September and the middel of October, at the rate af 25 pounds per acre broadcast, and harrrow them in ligntly. Inoculating will be necessary and can be done 2ither by inoculating the seed with Farmogerm before sowing, or by applying two hundred pounds of soil from an old alfalfa field broadcast per acre. Farmogerm will give good results if used properly. Use as fertilizer at the time of planting about 200 pounds of complete fertilizer, harrowing it in with the seed. If one wishes to plant alfalfa without going to the trouble of starting one year early and getting the land in good condition, we would suggest that land which has been in cowpeas, or some clean cultivated crop, be used. Break the land deep and thoroughly, and apply lime at the rate of 200 pounds or more per arce. Do not apply any stable manure unless it is thoroughly decomposed and free from weed and grass seed. Otherwise the sowing of the seed should be done in the fall, the same as in thn ahnvc described method. In the spring if weed and grass get started in the field, it should be mowed as often as necessary in order !hat they do not get ahead of the alfalfa. Under no circumstances should weeds and gras$ be allowed to mature seed in the field. Where there are no weeds and grass to give trouble, cuttings should be made as often as the plants are in full bloom or a little before. F. G. Tarbox, Jr. Asst. to Agronomist Fire at Greenwood. Greenwood, Oct 8.?Fire last night at 10:45 o'clock totally destroyed the automobile barn and several cars of Mr. John I. Chipley, near his home on Cambridge street. In addition to the above the automobile house of Mr T B. Meacham and its contents, consisting of coal, etc., was burned to the ground . Mr. Chipley's loss is estimated at about $2,500 and Mr. Meacham's at approximately $500. and in the rooming houses, and we recommend that our grand juries be called upon to use their best judgment in repressing the evil in every way passoble, with the ultimate hope of complete elimination." Something of a surprise has been thrown into Virginia camps by the announcement that Detroit has weak;ned on the draft of Bert Gardin, the ;outhpaw, who pitched good ball for Roanoke for two years. Of course, the reason for this is not known, but it is certain that Gardin is ripe for faster :ompany. Some class AA or A team vould find a very clever twirler in ;his South Carolina lad, and it is not it all improbable that Roanoke will ret get a piece of money for his Iraft.?The Atlanta Journal.
