There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put- together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a’local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constancy failing
to cure with local treatment, pronoun¬
ced it incurable. Science has proven
Catarrh to be a constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Hall’s ^Catarrh Cure

Death of Rev. David Mulkey.
Rev. David Mulkey. one of
Gilmer county’s oldest and best
beloved citizens, passed to his
reward last Monday morning af¬
ter an illners of many months
His vitality was most remarkable
during his last illness, several
times in the past year he was
thought to be dying but would
rally and get better.
Mr. Mulkey was nearly 88
years old* and- was for many
years a local preacher in the
Methodist church and was al¬
ways a devout Christian worker.
He was one man among a thou¬
sand that no one spoke evil
against His life was a sermon
louder than any that can be
preached by word of mouth, in
*jj a ^ jjv e( j through a long fife
the principles of Christianity ■ id
taught, them by example. He
leaves a large family of descen¬
dants to mourn his death, but
they mourn not as those who
have no hope fei they know his
devoted- life was but a prelude
to the eternal fife to come. He
was buried at Oak hi 11 churrh
yar d on Tuesda-v, followed to the
tomb by his sorrowing family,
friends and neighbors. We sym
pathixe with hi.: aged, companion
a nd all the relatives
1 he funeral services were con¬

the timorous journalists of that day.
It was Anne Itovall She dared to tip
ply at the White House for a confer
ern e with the,, president, the avowed
object of which was to learn from him
his intentions enucendng the bill.
I’ooi Anne, however, was kept at a
discouraging distance. Day after day
she waylaid the preside*, only to be
toiled by his attendants. But she did
not . grow discouraged. , She ,, learned , .
that every morning, immediately after
rising, the president walked to the
hank ot the Potomac, some half a mile
in Die rear ot the White House, aud
there, after- taking off his clothes.
plunged nit** the stream for a swim.
One morning when the president.
after swimming far our into the stream.
turned . . to make , tns way ... hark toward ,
the Shore tie was astonished to see.
silting upon his clothing, which he had
left upon a stone on the hank, a spec
tai led female with a look of great de
termination. It was Anne Royall, and
beside her were a pen and bottle ot
Ink. and in tier hand was- a sheet of
papet.
"Woman, depart!" sputtered the
president as he swam up into the shal

"It's scandalous,” Anne (s reported frie

measures to find out what their serv¬
ants are going to do. You give me the
information that I am entitled to; then
I'D give von your clothes Otherwise
I’ll stay here -and you’ll stay there!”
There was only one outcome to such
a struggle. The shivering president
told Anne what ne expected to do and
why he would do it. Then, and not
until then, did Anne, armed with copi¬

bad made famous and hasten to her

FROM EXPERMENTS WITH
SEEDSJND FERTILIZERS
By Andrew M. Soule. President Georgia State College of Agriculture.
Same of the more Important work
accomplished in the Department of
Agronomy of the Georgia State Col¬
lege of Agriculture may be summariz¬
ed briefly. Fertilizer plats have been
established in fourteen counties on
.sixteen types ot soil, the purpose of
which is to determine the fertilizer
Deeds and the system of crop rotation
to use. Corn selection work is in prog¬
ress in eight counties, oat selection in
five counties. Crop improvement as¬
sociations have been organized in five
counties.
Wheat tests carried on for four
years at the College farm show an
average to date of 24.9 bushels Ful
caster wheat per acre, 25.6 bushels
Blue Stem, 26.4 Georgia Red. The
winter oats tests average as follows:
Appier, 68 bushels; Rust Proof, 67.6;
Bancroft, 63.3; Fulgam, 60.3, Virginia
Gray, 59; Culberson, 47.7.
The average of four year tests of
corn varieties have resulted as fol¬
lows: Whatley’s Prolific, 72.4; bush¬
els; Hastings Prolific, 67.7; Marl¬
boro, 66.4; Cocke's Prolific, 56.3;
Shaw’s Improved, 54.3; Henry Gray
50.5.
Two thousand pounds of lime to
an acre Increased the yield of corn at
the College 16.1 bushels per acre.
PRACTICAL RESULTS
IN HORTICULTURE
H. McHatton, Professor of Horti¬
culture.
Some of the practical determina¬
tions in the department of horticulture
made during the year which are of
service to the farmer are given below.
The College has demonstrated the
value of spraying a north Georgia
sipple orchard. As much as 90 per
cent, of the fruit taken from sprayed
trees was salable, while 90 pijr cent,

HOW TO SAVE GLOOM IIS
LARGE MW FOB HAY
By Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture.
On the average farm where fifteen
to twenty acres are* devoted to hay
crops, it is desirable to have some
permanent pasture, and for this pur¬
pose, timothy, red top, tall oat grass
and Bermuda should be chiefly relied
upon. Some of the others may be
mixed with these crops whenever they
can be grown to advantage. For spring
feeding the farmer should sow oats
.and vetch. This combination makes
an excellent hay and yields well. The
land may also be employed to advan¬
tage in the production of millet and
cowpea liay the same season. Where
cowpeas and soy beans are used for
bay, the crop should not be cut until
the pods begin to ripen at the lower
end. Soy beans should be cut earlier,
relatively speaking, than cow-peas be¬
cause of the tendency of the pods
to open and shatter out the grain. This
crop can very often be handled to the
very- best advantage with the corn
harvester, especially if the large vari¬
eties are grown. However, the large
varieties are not quite so satisfactory
FAVORABLE REPORT OF THE BOARD Of VISITORS.
What the Board of Visitors Brown,! ap- I
pointed by Goverrior Joseph
„„ College
culture, is information to which the
public is entitled whether it is favor-j
able or unfavorable. The following is'
taken from the report:
A visit to the College of Agriculture
and Us various departments, an inspec¬
tion of the grounds, ‘barns and out¬
houses, was a revelation and an in¬
spiration to ,t!ic Board of Visitors. Too
much cannot bo said in commendation
of President Soule and his corps of
assistants. We would that every citi¬
zen of the state could and would read
the report of President Squle for the
year just closing.
Thc Board does not wish to go on
record as favoring any school or de¬
partment of the University as against
any other department, but for the rea
son >hat Georgia at this particular j
time, stands so greatly in need of the
Dili development of the agricultural j

NUMBER 27
It has been found that 1,000 pounds
of lime increased the yield of cow
peas 770 pounds per acre. Alfalfa need
inoculated and limed yielded 1.88 tons
per acre, not included nor limed slight¬
ly less than half a ton per acre.
In testing relative merits of floats
and acid phosphate. It was found that
37.4 bushels of corn were grown
where floats were used and 4g,3 bush¬
els where acid phospate was usedf
These are results of three years tests,
The results of three years’ tests on
nirtogen carriers on corn are as fol¬
lows: No fertilizer 38 bushels, nitrate
of soda 53, sulphate of amonla 43 bush¬
els, calcium cynamid 60 bushels, cot¬

52 bushels.
Influence of high and low nitrogen
in complete fertilizers is shown as fol¬
lows: No fertilizer, 31 bushels; 630
pounds acid phosphate 30 bushels; 630
pounds phosphate and 140 pounds

Valuable data bas been obtained in
corn breeding experiments, showing
relation of germination tests to high
yielding plants, also the effects of
breeding up varieties from seed selec¬
tion.
perlments are in progress to develop
a reliable' method.
Over 50 varieties of apples have
been found in North Georgia closely

Where the pea can be cured success¬
fully, it affords one of the best of ail
the legumes to employ for hay mak¬
ing purposes in the south.
On every farm some provision
should be made for curing hay, and to
this end hay caps should be used.
Itay caps are not expensive and they
can be used for a long time if prog
erly caved for. They are best mads
of a heavy type canvas similar-to that
used in the manufacture of tents.
They should be hemmed to prevent
fraying and there should be large
eyelets in each corner. Strings should
be attached to these eyelets and to
large sticks which are stuck In th«*
vines, thus preventing the caps from
blowing off in a gust of wind. Th.t
investment on caps will probahty no*
exceed the cost of purchasing one
ton of mixed hay, and the farmer who
says he can not afford to take the
trouble involved has not properly cal¬
culated the advantages to be derived
from making and curing his own hay”.

tardy in paying the debt that she owes
her sons of the soil. For generations
they have paid to the state the lar¬

flowed into her treasury. Georgia is
but discharging a debt that she owes
these men when she makes large ap¬
propriations for the advancement of
agriculture. Georgia is an agricultural
state. If she is ever rich and truly
prosperous, she must become so be¬
cause of the scientific development of
her farming interests; Georgia has
many charitable and educational In¬
