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

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

A detailed premium list has been print

or girl who desires to enter one of the
contests. 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

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

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.

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

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

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.

from many sections In Putnam, covering
In fact almost every part of the county,

look at most of them. The fields are
white with fruited cotton, with the la
bor question In the way of securing pick

with friends before returning north.
Worn-Out Land.
■ cultivate carefully,'
2 manure thoroughly and he’ll chant that doleful tune no more. But mules C
3 can't keep a strong disc or a deep-cutting plow going through those stiff ■
3 clay loams. The salvation of southern plantations lies in deep pitting at E
H proper seasons. Let us tell you what we know for certain about the profitable use of a ■
on southern farms and plantations. Besides plowing yon can thresh, shell corn. ■
run a cotton gin, haul wagons, saw lumber, grade roads, make drainage ditches, I
and do a score of other operations with a Modern Farm Horse. Flies, bugs, heat ■
or dust cannot disturb it. Cheaper than mules. Doesn’t eat while it's resting. ■

WOULD TEACH INDIANS
SCIENTIFIC LEARNING
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 13.—Plana were
set afoot at today’s session of the first
congress of American Indians here ?or
training the men of the red race into
the scientific methods of agriculture.
The fitness of the red man for this par
ticular field of work was strongly em
phasized and extension of the work
urged.
Charles Dixon, expert mechanic of
New York, urged the training of the In*
dian in mechanical fields, and pointed to
the primitive contrivances of the red
men as showing inherent Instincts in this
drection. 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.
Anna Wilde, head of the home making
department of the Indian institute at
Fort Berthold, N.«D. She argued that
training of the Indians in home making
would do more to advancing them to ad
equality to the white race than any
other work.
