Gi WHA T SOME GEORGIA BOYS AND GIRLS ARE DOING Boys and girls’ industrial clubs have oeen organized in 86 Georgia counties, and over 6.A.J) of there little folks are ac tively at work in. co-operation with the county school commissioners, and teach ers. and the State College of Agriculture and its extension workers in an effort to build up their native state. The boys have each cultivated an acre of corn dur ing the year, while the girls have turned their attention to vegetable gardening. In the spring of the year rules and regula tions were sent out to the boys and girls through the extension department of the college, each one being required to keep a careful record as to the method of growing the crop, the cost of production, the yield and profit secured. The boys’ work has been *in progress for several but that with girls was first insti tuted tn the spring of ISU, and as only a very small amount of money was available, it was only possible to organ ise several counties. As the vegetables grown by the girls were designed pri marily for canning in order that this in dustry might be established on a com mercial basis ip Georgia, their work has been about completed, and it will no doubt be interesting to many to know that these girls have preserved several thousand cans of vegetables for market and home use. The work was carried on this summer chiefly in the counties of Hancock. Putnam. Clarke, Bartow and Banks, some 212 girls and women receiv ing personal Instruction, while many others came into vital contact with the work. It Is believed that this work can be greatly extended another year be cause of co-operative plans now in view on the part of the State College of Agri culture and the United States department of agriculture. The value of this work is so patent that it hardly seems necessary to emphasize it further. The fact thax the girls of Georgia may be taught through the schools how to grow and care for an area of choice vegetables and preserve these in the most healthful and appetizing form for winter consumption means of itself to work a revolution in dietary of the home, and to bring a pleasure and satisfaction into the lives of many which they have not previously known. At the present time thousands of carloads of canned goods come into the state, of such vegetables, for instance, as tomatoes, yet this vegetable may be grown on every acre of land in the state of Georgia, and as soon as the girls realise, as they are already beginning to do. that by growing an area of tomatoes and can ning them they may secure pin money for themselves through the- sale of any surplus, the canning industry will becom? one of far-reaching proportions. As a result, thousands of dollars now sent out of the state for products which can be produced equally well at home will be saved, and Georgia made richer and more prosperous. Is It not worth while to promote a line of teaching in and through the schools which is destined to have such a far-reaching Influence on the development of the state Ad to bring so much happiness to . the girls them selves? Is it not. after ail. real education ' to teach girls how to' do things that are of a constructive and useful -nature? Does not the mere growing of the vegetables and their proper canßing and preserva tion bring out many latent qualities and require an individual effort calculated to deve’op a strong and well-rounded character* Those who have had a The REAL Steel Stump Puller The mighty Movarch is made of highest grade Bessemer Steel in oar own big facto ry.

I chance to observe the work carried on up to the present time realize that If Is exerting a most wholesome effect on these young people, and that it is doing more to bring the home and the school in closer touch than anything which has yet been undertaken in connection with the schools. The Corn club contests are now In progress in many parts of Georgia, and it will pay any one who has the time and opportunity to do so to visit one of these corn fairs and ey -just what the youngsters have done in the way of pro ducing not only a fine sample of market* able corn, but in securing large yields at a moderate cost. In fact, the bqys have blazed the way for the movement of the corn belt > Southward, for they entered these contests without fear or prejudice and gladly availed themselves of the best information and advice they could secure relative to soil preparation, and the use of fertilisers and improved implements for cultivating the land. As a result they are sectoring some quite surprising vielis. Just what the largest yield ob tained will be is still a matter of specula tion. but in spite of the very unfavorable season no doubt many boys will stilly make 100 bushels and per acre. As soon as the county fairs are held, the winning exhibits arg to be shipped to the State fair and to other contests which have been arranged for. A long list of splendid premiums have been offered for the boys wha excel in the production of corn. The exhibits will oe judged on the following basis, anl every boy should bear these facts in mind. Tne corn when in "a marketable condition is to be shucked and measured by barrel or basket. Then three measures are to be shelled and and this average weight multiplied by the number of measurements. Two disinterested parties must attest to the yield. In awarding prises the following method of judgment will be followed: Yield per acre, 30 per cent; prout, 30 per cent: best exhibit, 10 ears. 30 per cent; best written report, 20 pe’ cent. , In addition to the many county con tests. and there will be practically one in each of the 06 counties where the work is tn progress, contests will be held at the following points; State fair, Macon, October 10 to 20; Seventh congressional district, Cartersville, No vember 1 to 4; Corn carnival, Augusta, November 6 to 11: Southern Corn show.

The boys and girls should con sult with their county School -commis sioners and their teachers relative to all of these matters. The premiums offered In the various contests amount to several thousand dollars. The work has been organized for the purpose of inspiring and redacting the effort of the school and making it a vital means of placing in the homes information which is calculated to revolutionizeaour agricultural practice. The co-ope ration and interest of every citizen in this good work is expected, and will no doubt be cheeriully given. The future develop ment of Georgia along agricultural lines will be systematically and successfully promoted through the agency of these boys and girl*, who are so soon to have the reins of government placed in their hands. Lend them your personal encour agement You will not only benefit your self. but Inspire the boys and girls and at the same time serve your state to the best possible advantage. WANTS INFORMATION ABOUT DOO LY COUNTY. C. R.. Burnside, Ky., writes: With a view of locating in Georgia, I am writ ing for Information regarding Dooly county. What kind of soli and subsoil has the locality? In what fertilizing ele ments is the soil deficient? Has the soil lime enough in ft to grow-alfalfa? What crops are adapted to that locality? Is it suitable for general farming? The soils of Dooly county consist part ly of what is known technically as Alta maha grit, and partly of Vicksburg- Jackson limestone formations. The Alta maha grit, as the name indicates, con sists largely of sand with an admixture of clay. In some instances the sand and clay are mixed with water-worn peb bles. The lower beds of this formation consist chiefly of clay, and as the whole is underlaid by limestone, these soils sometimes become more or less cal careous is nature. The Vicksburg-Jackson formation consists chiefly of limestone and has a considerable thickenss. The top soil is made up of hard and «oft limestone, mixed with more or less sil ica and chert. The lower members con, tain clay and sand. The limestone for mation referred to Is found chiefly in the northwestern part of the county, the Altamaha grit cropping out more ex tensively in the south and eastern por tion. You will thus see that quite varied soils are found within the borders of this county. No analysis of the soils of Dooly county have been made as yet. Some of the nearby counties, however, where the Altamaha foimation predominates are. rather low in nitrogen, phosphorus and lime. Some of them are also low in pot ash.\ A good deal of variation is shown in the composition and character of these, soils, depending on the method of farm ing which has been pursued and the pres ence or absence of suitable crop rota tions. The soils of the Altamaha region are apparently quite deficient in lime, and if one hopes to grow alfalfa suc cessfully on these lands, it would be necessary to apply lime very liberally. THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1911. The working man of the South is a mighty big factor in. the wonderful growth of our section. Sn all things his opinion is worth considerat’on. He has given the stamp of approval to our line of "Work - in - Comfort” Shoes. They’re $3.50. This Shoe is all that the name implies; built of strong but soft chrome tanned leatherwith heavy flexible sole. Made in three colors and several different styles. Ask yous dealer for •‘Work - in - Comfort” Shoes made in Georgia. Jh A * ' •J. K. Orr Shoe Co., Red Seal Factory, Atla '.ta I % Finely ground rock would answer if used at the rate of several tons per acre. Where caustic lime is used from one to two tons should be applied. Better results will follow the use of the finely ground rock if cowpeas and other leguminous crops are plowed under to supply the soil with some vegetable matter in which it is often quite deficient. The soils of Dooly county are well adapted for the production of all the crops which can be successfully cultivated in the gulf states. Cotton, cowpeas and other leg umes, corn, oats and other cereals may be grown with excellent results. These soils respond well to good treatment and can be built up rapidly and made very productive and profitable under cultiva tion. SOME SUGGESTIONS ABOUT MAD STONES. S. A. 8., Gadsden, Ala., writes: Can you give me any information about a tested madstone and the value of same? There is no such thing as a tested madstone in so far as the writer knows. The madstone of olden days and now sometimes treasured by superstitious people was supposed to be a cure for hydrophobip. Such stones are usually the size and shape of an egg. The idea that they will cure hydrophobia or bring relief from other diseases is an absolute absurdity. Hydrophobia is due to the bite' of a mad dog, and when animals are affected the proper thing to do i/ to destroy them as quickly as possible. If persons are bitten by a mad dog or should in any other way contract the trouble, they should be In stantly sent to a Pasteur institute for treatment. Pasteur has show-n that ra bies is produced by a virus introduced as the result of a bite or the infection of a wound from an animal suffering from rabies. He has also given us a treatment which Is effective in prevent ing loss of life and suffering on the part of persons bitten by mad dogs. This is the only effective treatment known, and if persons attacked have the parts affected immediately disinfected and promptly treated practically all of them will recover. As the treatment is some what tedious and prolonged it is too ex pensive to apply to animals. GARGET OR INFLAMMATION OF THE UDDER. J. B. 0., Hilltonla, Ga.. writes: I would like to know what is the matter with my cow. She is a fine young Jer sey, with her second calf and her milk is not fit to U£e. When it begins to sour a thick skum rises and will rope and clabber will be tough and slimy. I feed her green cotton seed, fodder, shucks, corn and all the green hay she will eat. I scald all the milk vessels and sun them, and keep everything clean. I woujd like to know what to do. Apparently your cow is affected with what Is known as mammitis, or caked udder, or garget. The following treatment is the most which can be suggested, and if persisted in should give relief. The milk should be drawn fre quently and as thoroughly as possible. The udder should be gently rubbed and bathed with hot water for twenty min utes at a time. Then rub thoroughly dry and apply an ointment made by dissolv ing two tablespoonfuls of gum cam phor in a teacupful of melted lard. To this may be added one ounce of fluid extract of belladonna. The glands should be rubbed and treated three times daily and the ointment well rubbed in. Sometimes mammitis is due to the inva sion of the gland by bacteria. In that casje a solution of carbolic acid, one part to fifty parts of boiled water, should be Injected into the udder through the milk duct. A good apparatus to use for this purpose is a funnel to which is attached a small piece of rubber tubing with a glass tip. After the solution hag acted for a few minutes it should be drawn out.' We judge from what you say that the udder of your cow is probably af fected both externally and internally, and that both of the treatments suggest ed will be necessary to bring relief. HOG RANCHING IN MISSISSIPPI. N. D. G., Rose Hill, Miss., writes: I want to go into the hog business for the purpose of raising* breeders to sell, and want to breed what 'there is the most demand for by the farmers. Os the larger breeds I would prefer the Berk shire or Duroc- Jersey; of the smaller breeds I would prefer the Essex or Hampshire. Bo* you think I could sell as many of the smaller breeds as of the larger ones and get as good price? There are good individuals in all breeds, and there is more in the man be hind the breed than. in the particular type of hog selected. One can make an unqualified success of the hog industry with virtually any breed if he becomes sufficiently skillful In the management of his herd to produce choice individual animals. Either one of the large breeds mentioned will provide you with fine' foundation stock. The Berkshires are probably not quite so prolific as the Duroc-Jersey. The Berkshires are prob aly one of the most widely disseminated and best known breeds in the south. They are fairly good grazers and mature relatively early and are well adapted to our climatic conditions. They are proba bly not quite so prolific as the Duroc- Jersey. The Berkshires are black with some white markings, whereas, the Du yocz are red. When it comes to prouti- FIRM TRIIN TO 9E RUN 01SCUTHERN RAILWAY Farmers of Tennessee to Have Train Like One Georgia Had KNOXVILLE, Tenn.. Oct. 14.—T0 place the advantages of -scientific agriculture before the farmers of east Tennessee, the Southern Railway company, working in co-operation with the state department of agriculture and the University of Ten nessee, will .operate a special agricul tural train over all its lines in this sec tion, the tour commencing at Blount ville, October 16 and lasting until No vember 10. The train will be made up of three lec ture coaches, three exhibit coaches and one flat car for live stock to be fur nished by the Southern railway, and one arms palace stock car to be arranged for by the Tennessee department of agri culture. State Agricultural Commission er T. F. Feck, Dr, U. M. Morgan, dairy, agent of the Southern railway, and' wen known experts connected with the state and university will accompany the train and will conduct lectures and demonstrations in each of the 33 points, which will be covered in 28 working days. The lecturers will attempt to acquaint ,the farmers with the latest scientific Investigations relating to the soil, the plants and the farm animals, and to ad vise them how to irtcrease crop yields and at the same time by a rational system of crop rotation to leave the soil richer year after year Mrhen crops aye removed. The subjects of education and health will also he treated. The South ern railway is bearing the whole ex pense of the campaign in pursuance of its policy to materially assist in the de velopment of the territory it serves. cacy and rustling qualities, the Durocs are an excellent breed and have many strong points to commend them. They are also well adapted to our climatic Conditions and do fairly well as grazers. The important thing to bear in mind is to select good foundation stock from re liable breeders, and then select, feed and manage so as -to produce high class individuals. Personally, we would prefer the larger breeds to the smaller ones. The fact that they are' smaffl is one of the principal objections to them in our opinion, and it probably, takes pnore fooa in proportion for-the‘small animals thai for the large ones, and tfiey do not ma ture any earlier and do not attain the weight of the larger ■ breeds. Another breed which you can afford to give consideration to is thfe Tamworth. This is a red hog originating in Great Britain, and is highly’valued by all who have had experience with it for its ex cellent rustling and grazing propensi ties. They ate also a very prolific breed and the pigs grow rapidly and reach ma turity at an early age. This breed is be coming ■very popular in the south. If it has not been introduced into your sec tion, you should have a fine opportunity to become a pioneer breeder of Tam worths, and you should find a ready market for them once their good quali ties have become appreciated by the people of your section. • • • THIS BOY SHOULD BE ENCOURAG ED! I" <’ s. W., “Zebulon, Ga., writes: As I ex pect to take a three months’ course in agriculture at the university, I thought I would write and ask you what sub jects would be best for me to study. 1 am a farmer’s son a fid expect to farm as long as I live. Dtf you think it will pay me to take a thrive months’ course in agriculture? t would like to take the four-year course, but my father does not take much interest in education, ana I am not able. I haven't been to school in three years, but D'study at home. 1 think I can start the first of January By all means take a three months’ course if you can not spend a longer time in the State College of Agricul ture. For the purpose of meeting the needs of persons situated such as you are special courses have been arranged, and among the subjects which you would have ah opportunity to study dur ing the three months would be cotton and cotton by-products, the grading of cotton, soil fertility, farm machinery, horticulture, dairying, feeds and feeding, farm management and veterinary medi cine. You will thus see that you would receive considerable information about a varfety of important and essential topics. It is unfortunate and very sad indeed that any parent should not be interested in his boy’securing the best education possible. There ip no gift whlcl| may be placed within the reach of the boy which means so much to him. Many a man passes through life and the world and its opportunities re main a mosed book to him. As a result, he is discriminated against in the strug gle for existence. He is uselessly handi capped in life's race. All the progress of the woyld is the result of intelligent development, and the reason that farm ing has remained at a low ebb for so long has been due to the indifference of those who cultivate the soil and to the fact that they have ignored science 5 and education In its relation to tKwr 9 industry. A new era is dawning, how ever, and the fact that so many boys are now attending the State College of Agriculture indicates that parents are ' t > I AM NOT AFRAID OF APPENDICITIS I Can Eat All I Want To Now.

He suggested that special in structors be sent among the Indian tribes for developing the instincts an I bringing the Indian into practical service in this trade. * , 1 The domestic side of Indian character was emphasized In an address by Mn.
