j Befo e the days of window and door

among the most beaded of summer
pests As we look back* it saems
strange that the nations of the earth
. should have endured this annual plague
of flies as they did. It hasn’t been
many year, ago „_______ that it was no uncom
mon sight to see some one standing
guard at the dinner table with fly brush
i n c cntinual motion driving away the
flies that those eating might do so in
peace and safety. Even in this
lightened dsy may be found hemes
which the fly has unlimited freedom,
but we are glad to note these ■ homes
are becoming exceedingly few in
land. The health officers and sanitary
committees have done so well
in the cities that the flies have
* 3ee eliminated from their
borders, and as a result the epidemic
of ccntageons and infectious diseases
have almost come to an erul.
The fly can be driven from the coun
try . just , as effectively ' as it can from „
the city, and no country home . should , ,,
permit »ts presence this ...* with

Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture. j
The less vegetable matter there is
in soil the more readily It will crust.
Southern soils are notably deficient in
organic or vegetable content by rea¬
son of the long period of single crop¬
ping and clean cultivation. A hard
crust prevents a uniform stand of
any crop and a lack of uniform stand
means a materially reduced yield.

GEORGIA SHOULD RAISE .COLTS :t\ -

PERCHERON COLT RAISED ON COLLEGE FARM—TYPE OF COLT
-THAT GEORGIA FARMERS SHOULD RTAISE.
According to the last census Geor¬
gia owned 120,067. horses, oniy 30 pep
cent of these being on farms, Geor¬
gia farmers holding bottom place
among states for number of horse's
owned by farmers. Of the 36,020
horses on Georgia farnys, perhaps one
half were mares. The census reports
only 3,918 colts. On the basis of a 60
per cent, breeding record,, the 18,010
mares should have produced 10,8(16
colts, but it will be seen that Georgia
farmers have been very indifferent
about raising colts when’ they have
raised only about one-third, as many
as they could be expected to raise. A
very deplorable state of affairs. Think
of driving through a farming section
an<$ passing 99 farms that did not
raise colts before you came to one
that did, this too in face of the fact
that Georgia is paying approximately
$12,000,000 annually for mules.
If one farmer in a given territory
were to raise a colt, ninety-nine of his
neighboring Georgia farmers would

be in the market for it. Georgia is
paying more per head for mules than
practically any other state in the union
and she is raising fewer colts per
farm. Is there any valid reason for
this?
But conditions are changing. Heavy
farm mares are being substituted ,or
mules. In every case the change has
proven profitable. The mares have
shown their ability io plow the land
better than the light weight mules.
The awakening interest is manifested
by numerous inquiries coming to the
college for inforamtion about getting
Percherons and the college has been
able to start some on the right course
and it has been able to provide breed
ing service as far as facilities would
permit. Co-operative breeding asso¬
ciations are being formed among
farmers who are turning to the col¬
lege to negotiate for a reliable stud,
thus giving the investors the middle
man’s commission and making sure
to get a good animal.
