The man who invents a new
stitch for a sewing machine is
entitled to a monopoly of the
profits that can be made out of
his invention. The patent laws
of all countries protect him to
the exclusion of all others.
But the creator of new plants
gets no protection from any coun
try. / 3
If Luther Burbank had devoted
his inventive genius toward the
perfection of new machiney, as
his early youth:gave evidence
that he might, he could be worth
millions for his legally protected
royalties.
' But, having chosen to become
an inventor of mew forms of ‘
plant-life, he gets no permanent
profit, no protection, is entitled,,
by law, to none. oo |
His Burbank potato, which the
United States Department of Ag
riculture authorities have said in
adding annually seventeen and
and a half million” dollars to the
farm incomes of America, alone,'
brought Luter Burbank, its cre
ator, only $175.
Other creations, through theirl
sale to nurserymen and seeds-{
men, have enabled him to enjoy
a comfortable living, but some
of the most important of his cre
ations, more important fiom a
standpoint than the Burbank po
tato, have brought, and will
bring, him nothing.
Luther Burbank’s mind is not
a commercial mind.
No man could put his hours,
his enthusiasm and his almost in
finite patience into any work
which produced only money.
Nowwith more than forty years
of his daily experiment behind
him, Luther Burbank has retired
from all business, retaining only
his experimental grounds, and
has freed himself from all cares
in order that he may devote him
self to giving the whole result of
his work to the world.

Burbank Society, an organization

men and women, chartered by

FEED COTTON SEED MEAL
By President Andrew M. Soule.
'When the pastures begin to shorten,
there is nothing cheaper or better
to use than cotton seed meal to keep
up milk production. The meal may
be fed in the stable manger at milk
ing time along with a small amount
of cotton seed hulls or other dry
vroughness. The added roughness in
sures a better admixture with the di
gestive juices and keeps the meal
trom adhering so freely to the man
ger.
Feed from two to three pounds of
eotton seed meal to any cow .weigh
ing from 800 to 1,000 pounds and giv
ing from one and a half to two gal
lons of milk per day. The amount
should be increased or decreased ac
cording to the size of the cow. A
FOREST GROUND FIRES VERY IN
JURIOUS.
Alfred Akerman, Professor of
Forestry.
Inquiry—Are forest ground fires or
leaf fires very injurious?
Unquestionably ground fires are
very injurious. Compared to the hu
man family, the ‘injury to the seed
lings and seeds of the forest by
ground fires, is equivalent to killing
the babies. No new generation of for
est growth can be started so long as
forest fires prevail.
Second to the slaughter of the in
fants of the forest, the greatest in
jury comes of scorching the larger
trees. The fire wounds thus made
will show up in the lumber in the
form of splotches or irregularities de
preciating the value. The wound
lowers the vitality of the tree and
hence retards its general develop
men?. The injurious insects prefer to
attack an injured tree and the fire
wound invites the attack of fungi or
rot.
Next in the degree of injury in
fiicted by the fire, is to the soil by
reason of humus being consufmed
along with the litter in process of
turning into humus. Soil without hu
mus is, of course, poor soil for supply
ing plant food to growing trees.
After the fires, weeds, briers, sum
ach and other growths thrive and tend
to choke out reproduction.
A community should turn out to
fight a forest fire as they would a fire
consuming & neighbor's house. The

larger .amount than indicated would
‘not be’ advised because of ills that
come of surfeiting ‘'a cow with too
‘much nitrogen.
- A farmer will make a serious mis
take if he -permits his beef cattle to
run down during the winter expect-
Ing to make up for the loss during
the suoceeding spring and summer.
Beef cattle cannot be successfully
maintained on Georgia farms without
supplmental feeding when the pas
tures begin to fail in the fall. Cotton
seed meal may be fed to yearlings
at the rate of from one to two pounds
per day, for two-year-olds from two
to three pounds per day. If they are
to be fattened for sale during the fol
lowing winter they can be given a
{arger ration.

' COLLEGE NEWS NOTES.
' President Andrew M. Soule has
‘beefl elected vice president of the as
)sociation of agricultural colleges .of
‘the United States. :
i Dr. H. M. Burson, professor of vete
rinary science is issuing a special
‘bulletin on hog cholera telling of the
lpreventive serum now being used so
effectively, and the results obtained
!in Georgia this year.
t The annual bulletin on corn club
'and tomato club work will be out in
a short time, giving the various win
ners, names of those who went
tl}rough the year and did the work
assigned and also the data about
yields, etc.
From all reports, there will be the
biggest turn-out of farmers at the
short course of the College this year
than ever. While the .cotton crop has
been poor and money is short, farm
ers are awake to the fact that if the
next year is to be a belter one, they
had better come up to the college
and learn how to grow other crops as
well as what to grow. .
