Early Maturing
Varieties Of Cotton
By Roy E. Last, Junior, Prof of Agron.,
In Charge of Cotton Industry, Geor
gia State College of Agriculture.
In the following table varieties of
cotton are given which are classified
as early maturing, according to the
yield of seed cotton obtained on the
College test farm at the first and sec
ond pickings combined, which was
5 1-2 months from date of planting.
Those classed as early produced at the
rate of 1,000 pounds or more per acre.

CALLED HELL FAMILY

Six Years Ago, Thinking She Might Die, Says Texas Lady, But Now
She Is a Well, Strong Woman and Praises Cardui For
Uzt Recovery.
Royse City, Tex. —Mrs. Mary Kil
man, of this place, says; “After the
birth of my little girl.. .my side com
menced to hurt me. I had to go back
to bed. We called the doctor. He
treated me.. .but I got no better. I
got worse and worse until the misery
was unbearable.. .1 was In bed for
three months and suffered such agony
that I was just drawn up in a knot...
I told my husband if he would get
me a bottle of Cardui I would try it...
I commenced taking it, however, that
evening I called my family about
me... for I knew I could not last
many days unless I had a change for
Velvet Beans.
You will find velvet beans

This is the early variety that
matures in 100 days. Some of
these beans were planted in
June last year on very poor
land and matured by Oct.
These beans are most recom

Watson Sosebee,
Cumrning, Ga., route 2.
Don’t forget that Noah Mont
gomery will rent you a good
bottom pasture for your cattle
at 50c per head.
Mr. Bradford Knapp of Washington, D.
C., constitutes one of the strongest ar
guments against an all-cotton crop for
1917. It will be noted from this table
that a bale of cotton at 18c per pound
in 1917 vill buy no more h me and
farm supplies than would a bale of cot
ton at 12c per pound in 1914.
It is interesting to note the distinct
correlation between early maturitr
and early fruiting. In only one instance
was there a difference of more than
ten days in the appearance of the first
bloom on the varieties tested. As they
all began blooming between July Ist
and July 10th and were all picked cn
tha same day, it is obvious that the
varieties which produced the most co
- at first picking set its fruit most
rapidly! A most striking difference in
this respect was shown between two
varieties, College No. 1 and Webber’s,
a variety which did not qualify as early
maturing, both of which produced
their first bloom July 3rd. Y r et when
the first picking was made ten weeks
later, the former variety prcduced 907
pounds of seed cotton per acre, where
as the latter produced only 107 pounds,
In other words, College No. 1 produced
exactly 800 pounds more seed cotton per
acre at first picking than did the other
named variety, although they both
started blooming the same day. It is
not impossible that some of the bolls
on the latter variety were partially
grown and not open on date of picking,
but if it had been true, it would be of
no advantage to the variety since it
would increase the chances of injury
from disease and insects, and would
be very objectionable from the farm
ers’ standpoint sincesjt would delay
picking until late in the season and
probably prevent the early destruction
of the stalks in the fall.
These facts are of incalculable value
to farmers who are growing cotton in
the presence of the boll weevil, and
should be considered when choosing
the seed of a variety to plant under
these conditions. The table also shows
the percent of the total crop which
was matured at the time of the second
picking, 5 1-2 months from date of
planting.

and I.am still here and am a well,

The misery in my side got less... I
continued right on taking the Cardui
until I had taken three bottles and I
did not need any more for I was well

day to this.”
Do you-suffer from headache, back

weak, nervous and fagged-out? If so,

WHAT SOME GEOR
GIA AND ALABAMA
LANGS DID IN 1318
By Andrew M. Soule, Pres. Ga. State
College Of Agriculture
Reference has been made to the work
cf the lost farms conr.uCted cooper
atively by the Central of Georgia Rail
way : n l the State Colleges of Agri
culture at Athens, Ga., ar.d Auburn, *
Alabama. This work has now been In
progress five years, and in 1916 ihe
area embraced was 992 acre '. The ob
ject cf these test farms, brief y stated,
is lo show that the application of sci
entific principles lo the cultivation of
the land in Georgia and Alabama would
increase the yields ordinarily obtained
by the average farmer,, and that it is
possible through a rotation of crops to
increase the fertility of these lands,
secure a larger re’urn per acre, reduce
die amount of man labor and increase
the horse labor.
It appears that a net profit of $21.30
per acre was made on Ihe total area
cultivated last year. Man labor, h vse
labor, fertilizers, rent of land, cost of
sec and and all costs of making the crop
were charged against it.
It is noteworthy that Ihe longer
these farms have been operated tho
greater has became the average in
crime and the less the average cost of
the crop per acre, showing that by
following the system of farming out
lined by Ihe Colleges, the lands have
been built up. Some of (lie !c I farms
in 19J6 show a loss, bu: every one is
familiar with the conditions v. hich ob
tained during that season. The exces
sive ft ods were responsible.
Credit for the large profit obtained
last year is due in pait to the abnor
mal price of cotton, which sold on an
average for 17.7 cents per pound, and
the seed for $56.00 per ton. However,
even if cotton had been selling at
prices which have ruled for several
years past, Ihe profit per acre cn the
best managed test farms would still
have bee%vcry substantial. Farmers
who desire to study in detail the re
sults here briefly summarized can easi
ly sqc tire a copy of the tesi farm report
on application to the Agricultural De
partment, of the Central of Georgia
Railway, at. Savannah.
STEER FEEDING IN
NORTHEAST GEORGIA
By M. P. Jarnagin, Pfof. Of An. Hus.,
Georgia State College Of Agri.
That cattle feeding can profitably be
dene in northeast Georgia is amply
f h:\vn by a demonstration just con
cluded on the farm of -Mr. J. K. Con
well in Ilart county, G -htgia.
. On November 8, 1916, he received
39 two year old steers from the moun
tain section of norlli Georgia. These
3!) steers weighed 25,2:13 pounds and
cost delivered on Mr. Hon well’s farm
$1348.24 or an average ■ [ $5.34 per 100
• peimd*. Tims it iJrS&tiritiat the steei*
averaged approximately 647 pound
each at the beginning and cost $34.57
per head. The different steers showed j
an evidence of Red Poll Shorlhorn and j
Hereford blood. The total gains pry- '
duced showed that they were capable
of making economical use cf the feeds
consumed. They were fed 91 days and
sold February 9th, at which time they
weighed 37,297’ pounds, showing a to
tal gain of 12,069 pounds or 309.46
pounds per steer for tha feeding
period. This is 3.4 pounds per head
per day.
For the first 16 days the cattle were
allowed to clean up corn fields in
which velvet beans had been sown.
After that they were fed cottonseed
meal, silage and corn stover. For the
first feeding period from November
Bth to December 6th the ration was
20 pounds of silage, 3-4 of a pound of
cottonseed meal, and 5 pounds of
stover. For the sec nd period from
December 6th to January 3rd they
were fed 30 pounds ot silage, 5 pounds
of cottonseed meal and five
pounds of stover. From January 3rd
to January 31st they were fed 33 1-4
pounds of silage, 6 1-4 pounds of cot
tonseed meal, and 2 1-2 pounds cf
stover per head per day. During the
last period from January 31st to Feb.
7th they were fed the same ration.
During the entire period of 01 days the
39 steers consumed 90,986 pounds of
silage which was charged at $4.00 per
ton. 14,810 pounds of cottonseed meal
at $36.00 per ton and 14,332 pounds cf
stover at $6.00 per ton, making a total
feed cost of $509.54 plus $16.00, allow
ing for the 16 days the cattle ran on
stalk fields or a total feed cost of
$525.54.
The following condensed financial
statement i. interesting:
Cost of cattle $1348.24
Labor 91-dtry at SI.OO per day 91.00
Cost of feed . 525.54
Interest on money invested
in cattle, 91 days, at Bp. c. 27.26
Rent for buildings anti
interest on equipment . . . 50.00
Total cost $2042.04
The better cattle were sold at 8c
per pound and a few of ihe more info
rior cattle were sold at 7 l-2c. The
manure was estimated to be worth
>3.00 per ton, there were 250 tons,
making a total of $750.00 The cattle
were sold for $2935.00, plus the
manure, which would make, the lotal
cl uins $3685.00. Deducting the cost
f cattle, feed, labor and interest of
a net profit of $1612.96 is
hrwii.
