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. Name of Variety | Yield Per ] | Acre in | i Pounds.

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 for sale at Allen & Harrison’s ware house and at M. J. Hoop ers residence. 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 mended by the government in this great need for food stuff. Every farmer should have some on his farm.. We are selling them at actual cost to us, at $2.50 per bushel. Hooper Gin and Seed Cos. Lumber for Sale.

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. the better. That was six years ago and I.am still here and am a well, strong woman, and I ow r e my life to Cardui. I had only taken half the bottle when I began to feel better. 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 and never felt better in my life... I have never had any trouble from that day to this.” Do you-suffer from headache, back ache, pains in sides, or other discom forts, each month? Or do you feel weak, nervous and fagged-out? If so, give Cardui, the woman’s tonic, a trial. J. 71 Automobile Repair Work. Ha\e your automobile repair work done at the Gumming Gar age. All work guaranteed.

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. For Service. One Registered Duroc Jersey Male Hog. I will charge $2.50 for his services to insure. J, M.
