COTTON INVESTIGATION PROBLEM
The question of cotton growing Is of
paramount importance to all Georgia
termers, and soma of the practices which
taraatlgators find It necessary to em
ploy are often called In questalon by
the unttlated. -As an explanation of In
terest to cotton growers generally and
to those concerned tn plant breeding.
Professor DeLoach has submitted the
following short summary of his views
relative to certain matters of more than
ordinary concern to farmers and espe
cially to those engaged In an attempt
to improve cotton through hybridisation
* and seed selection:
One who desires to get at the truth
about any great matter or industry
must have the necessary conditions in
cident to such investigation, and unless
the proper conditions can be secured, he
oannot hope to discover more than half
the truth. One who is enraged only tn
the economic production of a given crop
can, of course, gee a great many things
done by the student that he would not
do on his own acres, in fact, he sees a
rest many things for the existence of
which he can see no earthly reason. But
f this is what differentiates the student
from the average farmer, big search for
truth and his methods of getting at the
truth.
* Many times our cotton on the state
college farm, for an instance is left tn
the field rather late In the season, and
our friends get a little uneasy for us.
thinking perhaps that we may incur
criticism for such practice. This is
primarily one of the things incident to
a complete study of the cotton. We
may be able to get at everything else
, connected with a variety or find oppor
tunity to make a complete study of It
early in the fall and have It all in the
house before November if It optns. but
If so we shall have left out one of the
moot important lessons to the investi
gator. Three reasons present them
selves why we should as investigators
have our best cotton® in the field late;
this is the only way we can atudy the
storm resisting qualities; It is the only
way we can examine the effect of the
weather on the lint; and according to
our experiences It is the best way to
' * Interest students in a systematic study
of the quality of lint and the selection
of planta They can'see the plant bet
ter and estimate Its value far quicker,
and. in fact, they can tell on which
planta the best lint grows with far
better accuracy than to examine the
plants with empty bolls Two plants
may show the same number of open
bolls at a glven'eeason and one of them
be far bettor than the other. To be
able to else up the tw 0 at a glance, we
must see them both fully fruited with
the cotton hanging tn the bolls.
This season we hvae selected from our
special Sunbeam cotton 160 ideal plants
under what we consider to be ideal field
conditions with all the bolls fully open,
with the exception of a few small top
bolls. Later, we are to complete our
selection by testing the qualities of
lint, the per cent of lint, and the sixe,
color, and soundness of ®eed in thd"l*b-
I oratory. To make this last test without
i having some knowledge of the value of
the plant under the above mentioned
three conditions, we would have our
work odly half done. If a man knows
the methods of plant selection and the
principles of plant breeding, he cannot
fall to realise that we must have all
possible information relative to tho
point® as outlined, before we can make
the best of our opportunity.
...Sometimes our cotton is by virtue of
weather conditions compelled to remain
In the field several days after our se
lection work and fall study' is complet
ed.- but this very seldom happens since
the falls are generally dry till late in
the season. Until we have found out
\ what a' man Is trying to do in a given
field of activity and have had a confer
ence with him. we feel that he must be
better qualified to know what is best
for his work, and feel a hesitancy in
making sweeping criticism of his work.

GROWING WATERMELONS FOR
SEED.
L. A. C., Rome, Ga.. writes: In rais
ing watermelons for seed how wide
apart should they be planted? What
do you think of planting turnips in four
foot cotton rows the latter part of Aug
ust for seed purposes? Could cultivate
after cotton was gathered. The land
has been sown and followed with peas
for twb or three years.
The distance apart of planting melons
will depend very much 00 the character
of the soil, that is, its degree of fer
tility. On rich soils c’oser planting may
be followed than on poor soils. Ordi
narily melons should be planted tn Tillis
about 10 feet apart in each direction.
In growing melons for seed the idea, of
course, is to secure largest number
of well developed, fully matured fruit,
and on this accbunt the vines should not
be allowed to fruit too heavily. This
is accomplished by picking off any sur
plus fruit which sets on..
Tu snips may be planted between cot
ton rows late in the season as you sug
gest. If there Is a well distributed rain
fell they will probably be destroyed or
injured during the picking of the cot
ton. and personally, we you
will secure better result— by planting
your turnips on a specially prepared area
of soli where you caq work and culti
vate them to better advantage than
would be poslble between cotton rows.
Turnips naturally give jbest results on
• rich soil and they will do well on land
containing a liberal supply of vegetable
matter.

HOW EDUCATION IS HELPING ONE
FARMER. 1
The readers of these columns will be
interested in the results obtained by Mr.
M. R. Maynard on bls two-horse farm
near Winder, Ga. Mr. Maynard thinks
that the short course which he took in
January. 1910. was of great benefit to
him tn his farming operations. Judging
from his own figures he Is making rap
id progress In the right direction, and
if 4he course could only be made to
reach one thousand farmers this winter
and inspire and redirect their effort.
It would mean much for Georgia. Are
you as a farmer preparing to invest
something this winter in advancing your
education and the knowledge of your
business? If not, you are making a very
serious mistake.
You may be Interested to know some
of the results obtained from many farm
ing operations since I attended the short
course at the College of Agriculture in
January, 1910.
1 will give you a short summary which
I took .partly from my day book and
partly from memory with some guess
ing, but it is pretty accurate.

Animals often contract cold during

some recourse against the railroad for

’2 ounces; nitrate of potash. 2 ounces:
gentian root, 2 ounces; nux vomica, 1
I ounce: ginger root, 1 ounce. All these
materials should be thoroughly pulver

before being used. You tfhould take care
i to keep the animal in a warm, dry stable
which Is well ventilated. Blanketing In
cold weather will be helpful, and exer
cise tn an open lot or field In warm

use would be an abundance of bright
clean fodder and a title neavine or mix

S. A. Slaton Furnishes Exam
ple of Productiveness of
Whitfield County Lands
An example of what Whitfield county
land can produce Is shown in the crop
raised by S. A. Slaton on the farm 'of
George Hamilton.
Mr. Slaton ha 8 raised 3.000 bushels
of corn on 45 acres of land and used
only 100 pounds of fertilizer to the
acre.
4 In addition to the corn he has gath
ered 11 bales of cotton from 15 acres and
says that he will gather nine more,
which will make 20 bales to the 15
acres or one and a third bales to >be
acre. He used 400 pounds of fertilizer
to the acre at a cost of 83.33 to the
sera. >
Mr. Slaton ia a great believer in thor
oughly sub-soiling and his crops are
proofs of tne value of such plowing.
Some of the land on which he grew
these crops a few years ago was worth
less because it was under water, but
with a system of good drain tiling , he
made the land worth as much as any
Land in the county. The drain tile costa
about 830 per acre and he says there
are many cares in his county that are
valueless because of water but every
one of them can be made worth a great
deal by draining.
TWO MILLION OF BEES
SHIPPED FROM SUMTER
To move f.000.U00 of busy bees would
seem an herculean task, but the job was
accomplished on the Broadfield farm,
near Americus, a day or two ago, and
with apparent ease. There were just 100
colonies of the busy honey-makers, and
each colony is estimated to contain 25,-
000 of the little “redhots,” which would
make a total of 2,500,000 in the shipment
from the Brdadfield farm, which for
years has possessed one of the finest
apiaries in Georgia. Some time since
the Broadfield bee colony was sold in to

pressing them with the foot in passing.
A boar kept for service should not be
fed too much on fattening foods. In
other words, the ration should not con
s.st of corn alone, but of part corn,
shorts or middlings. A little dried blood
may also be fed to advantage. You
might mix corn and shorts In equal pro
portions by first grinding the corn, and
then adding to each 100 pounds of this
mixture five pounds of dried blood. Feed
this material In the form of a slop. Qive

Oats are best planted In the open fur

weather is mild and open, planting with
an ordinary grain drill will a» iwer very
well, but the crop Is frequently de

the risk Involved is too great to take.
Moreover, as large yields will be ob

INFORMATION ABOUT QUARTZ
ROCK.
M. B. P., Norristown, Ga., writes: I
send you an Indian aiTow head of a
somewhat peculiar kind of rock. Will you
please tell me what it is?
The Indian arrow head sent seems to
be made from a block of quartz. Quartz
Is a form of silica occurring in hexa
gonical crystals, which are commonly
colorless and transparent, though some
times they are yellow, brown, purple,
green and even other colors. Quartz Is
an essential constituent of granite and
abounds in rocks of all ages. It forms
the rock known as quartsite and sand
stone and constitutes most of the sand
of the seashore. ‘

GROWING ALFALFA IN GEORGIA.
E. B. 8., Chattanooga, Tenn., writes:
Will you please advise me whether al
falfa can be grown in Georgia, and if
so, in what sections?
Alfalfa can be grown In various parts
of the state of Georgia and is now be
successfully cultivated in small
patches by a number of farmers. These
farmers, however, have taken special
pains and care In the preparation of
the land and have fertilized the soil very
liberally and enriched »t by applying un
der green crops and top dressing heavily
with yard manure. Lime is also needed
on most of our Georgia soils which
might be devoted to the cultivation of
alfalfa with any hope of success. The
time may be bought In the caustic form
or in the finely ground condition. Where
applied tn the caustic form two ton«
per acre should be used, and where the
finely ground rock is applied use five
tons and upwards. Os course. In some
parts of the state especially tn the north
western part, so much lime may not be
necessary.
Ground intended alfalfa should be
broken up very deeply this fall so that
the winter freezes mav pulverize it. It
should *l*6 be subsoiled. The deeper you
can prepare the ground the better. Sow
to rye even as late as the first of Janu
ary and turn this Under early in the
spring and seed to velvet beans nr cow
peas. These should be turned under in

WANTS A SMALL COTTON SEED
CRUSHER.
A. T. J.. Lilburn, Ga., writes: I
would like to know if there are any
cotton seed crushers on the market
which run by horsepower, i am think
ing of crushing my cotton seed and us
ing them as manure if I can get a
crusher that runs by .horsepower. Do
you think it would pay me better to
crush my cotton seed and use them
as manure or sell them at the present
price?
The writer is not familiar with any
apparatus manufactured for the crush
ing of cotton seed which can be oper
ated by horsepower. If any of our
readers know of any machinery suit
able for this purpose, we should be glad
to haVe them call it to our attention so
that our correspondent may be fully in
formed concerning this matter.
The advisability of selling cotton se?d
depends on the price which you can
secure for them or the basis of ex
change for meal which w offered in your
community. A ton of high grade cotton
seed contains approximately about 811
worth of plant food. Nine hundred
pounds of high grade meal has been
shown repeatedly to be equivalent in
feeding value to a ton of seed. If
you can secure from 816 to 818 for your
seed, it should pay you to sell them,
and especially would this be advisable
if you can, exchange your seed for meal
On the basis of say 823 a ton for meal
containing 6.18 per cent of nitrogen, you
should secure at least 1,600 pounds of
meal of this grade for a ton of seed.
If you can make a better exchange than
this your profit will be proportionately
large. Os course, where you exchange
your seed for meal of a higher grade,
running 7 to 7.6 per cent bf nitrogen, the
basis of .exchange may be somewhat
less than the figures indicated in this
letter. The writer would like to see
the farmer secure the best possible re
turn from his seed on every and all
occasions. We k believe exchanging seed
for meal or Selling them direct ana
buying meal to take their place Is the
best policy for the farmer. The meal
should be fed so as to make a profit
out of milk and butter or In the nutri
tion of other classes of live stock and
the resulting manure returned to the
land. This Is the opportunity which the
tarmer Is sometimes neglecting to make
his seed pay him much more than he
is now receiving for them.

Needs Os pie Southern Farmer’s Boy.”
. The welfare of country boys consti
tute what is possibly the greatest prob
lem confronting the people of the south
today, declared Professor Richards. He
said there were 3.365,000 of these boys of
school age, and paid a tribute to farmer
boys, saying that despite their disad
vantages and handicaps they have play
ed a splendid part in the development
of the country.
“The home, the school and the church
are the three great institutions which
are chiefly responsible for the education
of eh|ldhood,’’ asserted the speaker.
“Through these the child must get a
great deal of the many sided experi
ences of the race which constitutes a
large part of his education,” he said.
“These Institutions must bring to him
those life experienceer wftich are noble
and elevating In their tendencies, and
keep away from him those experiences
which are ignoble and degrading in
their natude.
“One of the defects of 1 the rural
school is the curriculum or the subject
matter taught In- them.t Here we find
served up from day to day and year to
year that same mental pabulem which
has been served to young minds ever
since the middle ages, and very little
recognition given to the needs of the
ever-hanging civtlipaflon in which we
live, and the demands which It is making
upon the youth of our southland today.
Thus the training which he receives 16
of such a nature to cause him to be
narrow In his ideals, aims and purposes,!
and at the same time to be strong inj
his likes and dislikes.
“We must have larger and better!
equipped school buildings In rural dis-1
triers, and this equipment made to meet]
the needs of rural schools and not such!
as is used in our schools.

one of those who expects to plant a I
arge crop of cane next year. It is said!
:hat Mr. Roy Barwick, near the town I
of that name, will make at least 82,000 I
worth of syrup this season, this crop I
proving much more profitable than cot-1
ton at present prices. ;
