pVpUCATION ■ \ QUESTION AND ANSWER DEPARTMENT The Journal desires to increase the usefulness of its agricultural pages in every possible way. For this purpose, the department of inquiries and answers is to be greatly enlarged. Any information pertaining to agriculture, the proper tillage of the soil, the proper use of fertilisers, seeding for crops, stock and cattle breeding, poultry raisin.? —and in fact, all subjects pertaining to the farm upon which information may be sought or practical suggestions offered, will be published in these columns. We request our readers to use these pages freely. We will endeavor to furnish information, if ths questions are asked, tetters addressed to Dr. Andrew M. Soule. President State Agricultural College. Athens. Ga.. will receive prompt attention, and the replies will be published in The Semi-Weekly Journal. If 9,896 Farmers and planters told you that their yields per acre of cotton, corn, tobacco, wheat, fruits, peanuts, nee, sugar cane and truck crops were greatly increased and even doubled By Using V irginia-Carolina Fertilizers and which they thought the best and biggest crop pro ducers on earth —wouldn’t you feel that you should, in justice to yourself, try these fertilizers and get the same increased yields on your own farm? We have many thousands of un-asked-for letters from farmers blessing the day they bought Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers. Many of these letters are in our 1910 Farmers’Year Book, which can be had free of your dealer,or by mailing us the coupon SALES OFFICES I Richaoad. Va. Atlaata, Ga. Mail a« tbi« Coapoa Norfolk, Va.

Peaches and tomatoes were first shippea by rail from Crystal Springs, Miss., in 1866; strawberries from west Tennessee in 1875. and from these initial efforts the strawberry industry spread to Louisiana and Arkansas. In the early days the shipment of a single carload of fruits or vegetables was regarded as something phenomenal. From many of these same sections. It is now not unusual for from 75 to 100 cars to be shipped a day. while | the aggregate runs into the thousands a , year. The substantial development of the | truck and fruit industries of the south 1 dates from 1872 when the first refriger ator car of strawberries reached Chica go. It had taken years to evolve a type of car now more or less familiar to every one. but at last success had crowned the efforts of the patient and Industrious pioneers, and what a revolution has fol lowed in the wake of their achievements. Florida shipped its first carload of straw berries to Chicago In 1888. It is reported that six refrigerator cars were in opera tion tn 1887. and over 60.000 in MM. though of course it should not be concluded that all of these were used in the south. Questions Answered FEEDING CROPS ON SANDY LAND. | J. D. 8., Bristol, Flat, writes: I would like all the information you can give me in regard to fertilizing corn, cotton and sweet potatoes, the kind and amount to use on stiff sandy land. • • • It Is difficult to give you the informa tion sought in your letter because of Its ' indefinite. The fertiliser needed on i ccrn, cotton and sweet potatoes will vary considerably with the nature and condi tion of your soil and its previous crop ping. If you follow a rotation and had legumes on the land Intended for corn and cotton so much nitrogen tn the fer tilizer will not be needed as where legumes have not been grown. While a great variety of fertilizers may be used, we believe you will find a 3-8-4 very satisfactory for cotton; on rich land a 2-8-4 will probably answer very well. For sandy soils we should say a 3-8-5 or a 3-8-6. For corn you will find from 3.5 to 4 per cent of nitrogen, 10 per cent of phosphoric acid and 4 to 6 per cent of potash a desirable fertiliser. For sweet potatoes we would advise about 8 to 4 per cent of nitrogen, 10 per cent of phosphoric acid and 8 to 10 per cent of potash. A 3-8-4 fertiliser may be prepared as follows; Mix together 460 pounds of dried blood containing 13 per t cent of nitrogen; 160 pounds of muriate of I potash, 1.000 pounds of high-grade acid phosphate and 380 pounds of dried earth. The nitrogen in this fertiliser may be increased by the use of more blood, or nitrate of soda as a top dressing. By cutting out some of the earth you may increase the acid phosphate sufficiently to bring the percentage up to 10, and the same would be true of the potash. With this information before you, you should be able to adjust this formula so as to meet the needs of the various crops you desire to grow. YARD MANURE FOR COTTON. G. C. L, Villa Rica, Ga., writes: I have ten acres of red gravelly land that made a half bale per acre last year, and would like to know haw to fertilize it to get thebest results. I have 14 two-horse loads of manure that I expect to use. • • • Prepare your land thoroughly by plow ing. It would flJe a material advantage if this work has been done already, as the freezes this winter have had a most ' beneficial effect in pulverizing the soil. Deep and thorough preparation in any case, however, is the first essential In securing a good yield of cotton. We Would bed up this*land as soon as possible and put the farmyard manure In the drill row. Donot make a high bed, as a low bed will be more satisfactory after you get the cotton up and well started off. We only advocate the use of a bed be cause of the difficulty of securing a stand in an unfavorable season. Along with the farmyard manure we would use at least 600 puinds of a 3-8-4 fertilizer. We would be inclined to put all the fertilizer under the drill row at the time of plant ing. A fertiliser such as we have sug gested may be prepared by mixing to gether 1.000 pounds of high-grade acid phosphate. 460 pounds of high-grade THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11.1910.

W.,‘ Milton, Fla., writes: We have been taking The Journal for years and can not get along without it. I would like some information in regard to sheep raising. Which breeds do best this far south, and which are best to cross with • the scrub ewes? Who in the south have [fine stock for sale? The risk is too great when one has to buy from the north. Any of the Down breeds should suc- I ceed in your section. We would prefer a 1 medium wooled breed for southern con ditions, and believe that you will find the Southdown, Shropshire or Oxforddown very desirable breeds of sheep. Rams of these brands are utilized extensively throughout the south for the purpose of crossing with native ewes and producing early lambs for shipment to eastern mar kets. You can secure the Southdown sheep from R. P. Hite. Gallatin. Tenn., and T. M. Hinkle, Springfield, Tenn. RAISING HOGS ON GREEN CROPS. T. W. R., Vienna. Ga., writes: What kind of seed corn should I use op my gray soil here for a big yield? I have three separate places fenced off that 1 ' want to sow in something for hogs to graze I on. What would you recommend me to sow? How about sorghum- I already have a fine Bermuda pasture. I have a grove of mulberry trees. Are they good for hogs? I have a nice young grove of paper shell pecans. Do you favor a little or large cotton seed cotton? V • • We believe for your conditions there is nothing that will give you better results i than one of the so-called prolific varieties of corn. There are a number ot strains on the market, such as Marlboro, Cocke’s Prolific, Rockdale Prolific and Whatley’s Prolific. We have tested the latter in our I demonstration field, and It has given us good results. This Is not a one-eared varie ty or big-eared corn, but almost every stalk will produce two or more ears of medium size, and our experience covering about 15 years indicates that we secure larger yields from such varieties- than from a single-eared, big stalked variety on lands of only moderate fertility. For your hog pasture we would suggest that you sow some rape just as soon as possible. This can be grazed early in the season. As soon as it is past its prime the land should be plowed up and sown to cowpeas. We would seed one plat to soy beans and one to peanuts. This will give you a fair sucoesslon of grazing in con junction with yoXr Bermuda pasture. Sor , ghum If cropped closely makes a fair (grazing crop for hogs, but not so deslra |ble in our opinion as rape. We would prefer to sow spring oats to sorghum for grazing purposes. We think you will find the Mammoth Y'ellow the most satis factory variety of soy bean. Spanish pea nuts answer well as a grazing crop for hogs. Mulberries will furnish some food to your hogs, and you are fortunate in having a nice grove of paper shell pecans. We have found such varieties of cotton as Cook's Improved, Cleevland’s Big 8011, Russell's Big 801 l and a number of others that might be mentioned as among the most desirable varieties for general cul ture. WHY THE FERTILIZER FAILED. B. L. G., Carr’s Station, Ga., writes: I had three or four acres of good branch bottom land in corn last year which I did not manure when I planted it, but put in 300 pounds of guano per acre at the first working. The corn I did not fertilize made as good a yield as that which I did. The formula I used was 1.060 pounds of 16 per cent acid phos phate, 600 pounds of cotton-seed meal and 400 pounds of kainit. Is this a well-balanced guano? I am thinking of using this year the following mixture: One thousand two hundred pounds of 16 per cent acid, 650 pounds of cotton-seed meal and 150 pounds of muriate of potash. Which mixture do you thing is the best? The land is good, strong, deep soil bot tom and was in cotton last year and is in good fix now. • • • The fertilizer which you used on your corn last year contained approximately 2.1 per cent of available nitrogen, 8.7 per cent of available phosphoric acid and 2.8 per cent of available potash. It would be regarded as rather a low grade mix ture. Since you only used 200 pounds per acre you only applied four pounds of ni trogen per acre. Corn is a very gross feeding plant and will extract from the soil a large amount of plant food. For instance, a crop yielding 60 bushels per acre requires 100 pounds of nitrogen. You will thus see that unless your soil was naturally quite rich, the amount of fer tilizer you used would not have much ef fect on the yield. The mixture which you propose to use this year will contain ap proximately 2.27 per cent of available ni trogen, 10.4 per cent of available phos phoric acid and 4.2 per cent of available potash. This fertilizer is low in nitro gen for corn. If you will use it at the rate of 500 pounds per acre, you should secure fairly good results, especially if you will apply some farmyard manure under the drill row. If you have some well-rooted compost, put two to four tons per acre under the corn at the time of planting. Mix the fertilizer in with It and plant on top. Do not bed, for corn as level cultivation will give you the best results. You have acted wisely in plow ing your land last fall on which you de sire to grow an especially large crop. The freezes of winter will have helped to pulverize it a good deal. On this special area in addition to using yard manure and fertilizer, as suggested, you may find it profitable to use a top dressing of 100 to 200 pounds of nitrate of soda during the growing season. Probably 100 pounds had best be applied two or three weeks after the corn has come up, and the other 100 pounds just as it 18 shooting into tassel. SEEDING CRIMSON CLOVER IN THE SPRING. J. R., Ollie, Ga., writes: The agricul tural columns in The Journal are very helpful, and I would appreciate your ad vice in this instance. 1 have six acres of bottom land which makes about 20 bushels of corn to the acre naturally. It was in corn last year. Could 1 improve the land by putting in crimson clover aurlng CpukUL jtffciFarJyv , .-cl Speltz as nurse crops? Would it be necessary to inoculate? What fertilizer would be best to use? • ♦ • It is doubtful if you would succeed in securing a stand of crimson clover this spring, as you could hardly hope to get the land in ideal condition to seed just at the right time. This crop would take a little time to establish itself, and if you were to put it in now, a severe enough freeze might occur any time within the next six weeks to kill it, and unless it had made a good start before warm weather of early spring, it would hardly mature satisfactorily. Crimson clover must be regarded essentially as a crop to be seeded in the fall, and It is not advis able as a rule to sow it with a nurse crop, though we have sown it with light seed ings of rye and oats with fair satisfac tion. We did not, however, secure what we would regard as a perfect stand of either, and for best results we think it would ble well to seed crimson clover alone. It would hardly be necessary to Inoculate it; at least, we have not found it so in our experience. Sometimes you may not secure as good a stand the first year as when It is brought on the ground the second time. We know of some ex periments made to test this point, and but little benefit was secured from in oculation. We would advise the use of a ton of lime per acre with this crop to be applied to the land some two or three weeks before seeding. If the land is de ficient in nitrogen it would probably be well to use a fertilizer containing 1 per cent of this element, 8 to 10 per cent of phosphoric acid and 4 to 5 per cent of potash. On land that has grown cow peas the nitrogen may be omitted, and a 16-4 fertilizer used at the rate of 200 to 300 per acre. « TREATING INDIGESTION IN MULES. R. E. 8., Vidalia, Ga.. writes: Would like to know what to do for my mule. She will swell up in the morning, and about night she will He down and roll as if she was in extreme pain. She gets that way every spring. We judge that your mule is suffering from indigestion and colic of a more or less chronic nature. When the colicky symptoms appear put the animal In a . comfortable place and give her an oppor tunity to roll. An enema shouM first be ' given. Use six or eight quarts of warm water and dissolve in it a half teacup ful of glycerine. The enema should be given slowly so as to insure the animal's retaining it as long as possible. Next an ounce of laudanum and one-half ounce of spirits of nitre may be given in a half pint of warm water. The drenching should be done with care so as to be cer tain not to invgde the lungs. Jamaica gin ger in two ounce doses may also be given, dissolved in a half-pint of water. This treatment should relieve the colicky symp toms. You should exercise great care in feeding the animal for a little while. Change the feed and work her but little for a few days, and give a light laxative diet. This will give the digestive system a chance to recuperate. An opportunity to graze on a rye or oat pasture will be very helpful. You have probably been feeding your animal exclusively on corn or corn and stover. There is a tendency where one food is ■ given alone to pro duce irritation and indigestion. Besides that, corn of itself does not contain enough protein substance to properly nourish a mule. You will find when your animal gets better If you will add two pounds of cotton seed meal to the dally ration you will secure better results. A Chance to Make Money Yes, elegant free homesteads can still be had in Mexico where many Americans are now locating. You need not go to Mexico, but are required to have five acres of fruit trees planted within five years. For Information address the Jantha Plantation Co., Block 580, Pitts burg, Pa. They will plant and care for your trees on shares, so you should make a thousand dollars a year. It is never hot. never cold. The health conditions are perfect. HENRY S. REED WANTS TO HELP THE FARMERS i That many of the most progressive and enterprising business men of Atlanta are bent upon furthering the aims and ob jects of the agricultural improvement committee of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce Is being daily proven by the expressions of approval that are being received. As reported by The Journal some time ago, the committee on agricultural Im provement has planned to aid In the gen eral campaign for the promotion of in tensive farming along scientific lines, re alizing that by this means 'the farmers of the state can greatly improve their own condition, and in a direct ratio, ad vance the prosperity of city and country alike. No more enthusiastic supporter of the project for helping the farmer lives any where than Henry S. Reed, of the com pany which bears his name. Mr. Reed is a member of the committee and says that he stands for doing something that will be of lasting and substantial assist ance to the ‘‘man that holds the plow,” realizing fully that in the farmer’s hands are the destinies of the state and nation. Mr. Reed has written to the chamber of commerce, thanking that obdy for his appointment as a member of the agricul tural committee, and promising his hear ty co-operation in any plan that looks toward the betterment of the farmer.

HEYBURN'S RANCOR AGAINST SOUTH MET SENATE’S CONTEMPT Idaho Senator’s Waving of Bloody Shirt and Insult to Lee and Confederate Veter ans Got Cold Response WASHINGTON, Feb. B.—Though dis claiming any intention of waving the “bloody shirt.” Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, made the closing hour of the sen ate session very lively yesterday by a denunciation of the Confederacy and of the men who had fought against the union during the civil war. In the cause he advocated, however, he lacked follow ers, for when the vote by roll call was taken upon the conclusion of his speech he found that he alone raised his voice against the measure under consideration, which was the loaning of government tents for the use of Confederate veterans at the annual reunion in Mobile, Ala., next April. No senator responded to Senator Hey burn’s denunciation. When the speaker had concluded. Senator Bankhead, of Ala bama, simply said: “I am sure the senator from Idaho feels much better, and I ask for a vote.” Every senator. Republican as well as Democrat, save Senator Heyburn, voted to grant the use of the tents. Senator Heyburn inveighed against men in "rebel” uniforms being permitted to occupy government property, or the “rebel” flag being allowed to float above it. Finally he drifted into the question of honoring men by placing their statues in the congressional hall of fame and by unmistakeable inference condemned the action of Virginia in sending the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee to Washington. DON’T INTRUDE IT. “Take it away and worship it, if you please,” he thundered, “but do not _ in trude it upon the people who do not want it.” Mr. Heyburn's speech was delivered In earnest tones, though in well moderated voice. “This resolution refers in terms to a Confederate veterans’ reunion at a speci fied time,” he said, “and it proposes that the government of tho United States, in recognition of its purpbses, shall loan the property of the United States. I trust I shall not be charged with bad faith when I say that I have today’ Inquired from a senator who is interested in this measure, whether or not. on this occasion, the men engaged in this celebration would wear the rebel uniforms, and his reply was in the affirmative. I asked him fur ther if the rebel flag was to be carried over this property of the United States, and he replied that both the rebel and the union flags werie always carried at these reunions." Mr. Heyburn then proceeded to say that while he did not want to open the wounds of the war of the rebellion, he still thought the south had made a great mistake In that war. He had been told that the government was in the habit of making such loans to the Grand Army of the Republic, and he thanked God tlMt such was the case, because the Grwad Army was composed of men who had fought on the side of the union, and “their cause was a glorious and honor able one.” CONTRASTS G. A. R. “Do you expect." he said, going back to the contrast of the G. A. R. with the Confederate veterans, “that those who gave their support to the union cause would sit idly by and say nothing when these issues are raised? They are none the less patriotic now than they were in 1861-63-64. Could they be less patriotic and can they complacently permit the subject of Ehe war to become a Jest In this age? If so, the sooner we know It, the better.” At this point Mr. Heyburn received his only Interruption. It came from Senator Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, who abruptly in terposed the question: “Were you in the war?” "Oh!” responded Mr. Heyburn, "that is the stock question of the cheap report er.” "I understand.” replied Mr. Davis, “that the senator represents 264 ‘niggers’ In his state." Responding to the last interruption. Mr. Heyburn said if there were 264 negroes In his state, he Intended to try to repre sent them. i He added that he was not a senator from his state alone, but a senator of the United States as well. As for his participation in the war, he stated that he had been too young for that, but that youth even though he was, he had been very anxious to enlist while the war was in progress. Mr. Heyburn said that if there were senators who thought it was proper that the “rebel” flag should wave over she property of the United States, they could vote for the measure, but he would re mind them that there are millions of people in the United States who have implanted deep in their hearts the spirit of patriotism, who would not follow them in that course. From the consideration of the pending resolution. Mr. Heyburn turned tempo rarily to the question of the wisdom of placing a statue of General Lee in the hall of fame in the national capitol. He did not mention General Lee by name, but left no doubt thaA he had him in mind. He spoke of the fact that the object of his remarks had been an officer of the army of the United States when the war broke out and said he had done much to render more serious that con- 1 t ddO People Have Put Their Z~X TZ" 13,VvU On This Buggy <7.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—That bad beef, some of It ready to fall to pieces, was served at the White House during ex- President Roosevelt's occupancy, was the testimony of District Food Insoector Dodge today before the house committee engaged In Investigating the high cost of living in the District of Columbia. Mr. Dodge declared that It was the custom of a steward at the White House to buy a quarter of beef and hang It up until It was ready to fall to pieces, as the inspector described it, when it would be served on the table of the White House. Members of the committee expressed dis gust ever Dodge’s revelations. Inspector Dodge testified that people ot the District of Columbia were accustom ed to eat from choice meat that was black and well on the road to decomposi tion, because it was tenderer.
