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.

A® a farm practice we recommend that every farmer get his cotton in as eraly as It ripens, so he does not pick it green.

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.

He eats | - all I give him, but does not seem to 1 get well. What would you advise me to jdo for him. and what would be best to a feed him? When is the best time to r sow Bermuda grass? What do you con s’ s|der the best feed for a boar kept for k breeding purposes? Can I make a good crop of oats by breaking the ground with a two-borae plow and cutting them In with a disk harrow? Your writings have been a great help to me this year. Animals often contract cold during shipment so that your case Is not at all unusual It would seem, however, tike the animal was on the road an unusually long time, and that you should have had some recourse against the railroad for the delay. No doubt this animal win be I benefited by careful feeding and good 1 treatment. I do not know that medicine will be. particularly serviceable, though I a good tonic condition powder would be the best thing to use under the circum stances. You might try the following one giving a heaping teaspdonful in the feed three times dally: Sulphate of iron. ’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 . lied and mixed together with great eare 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 dry weatper is advisable. Good foods to use would be an abundance of bright clean fodder and a title neavine or mix ed hay. The opportunity to erase on a patch of rye or oats will help to reg ulate the bowels and k< p the digestive system tn god condition. Do not feed much cottonseed meal for a white. list the ration consist largely of bran, corn and coton sed meal In equal proportions. Bermuda grass is best planted In the spring after the weather has turned warm Anrll would be a good time tn this climate. Sow not less than eight pounds of well selected seed per acre? It takes Bermuda seed some time to ger minate and a good st-’T’d Is not always obtained from sowing tn the manner In dicated You can establish a good sod j from sets by cutting the roots up in small j pieces and pressing them In or scattering aver tho surface of the ground THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1911. 2.000 BUSHELS OF (■ ME RAISED ON « ACRES 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 to to one of the big F»orida apiaries, and tjrt transfer was made this week. The oees were handled gently, and there was no outbreak or rioting amonk the vast army of stingers. \ and pressing them In with a roller or 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 the animal opportunity to take exercise, and If possible let him have some green feed occasionally. Oats are best planted In the open fur row to insure a good crop during un favorable weather conditions. If the weather is mild and open, planting with an ordinary grain drill will a» iwer very well, but the crop Is frequently de stroyed by one or two freezes so that the risk Involved is too great to take. Moreover, as large yields will be ob tained from the open furrow method as from any other practice which can be followed. Working the seed Into the ground wlui a disk Is not so likely to not so likely to insure a good stand as planting In the open furrow. It Is gratifying that the suggestions contained tn The Journal have been of service to you. We hope that in the insure a good stand as planting in the open furrow. a. • • 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.

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. LAVONIA LAND SHOWS BIG GAIN IN VALUE H. B. Ford has purchased a 50-acre tract of land at Lavonia, Ga., near his home, known as the Robert Thomas tract. The purchase was made from W. C. Mason, who acquired the land a few days ago In a deal Mr. Ford paid »6o an acre for this land. He says he could have purchased It four years ago for 828 an acre. Mr. Ford values land at 875 an acre and expects to make It worta 8100 an acre in a very short while. CORDELE FARM SELLS AT PROFIT OF SI,OOO Dave Clark has sold his farm at Cor dele to D. JE.

BrUaoslhMfipMa 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. CROP OF SUGAR CANE TO SUPPLANT COTTON In view of the prevailing low price of cotton this season it is said some of the leading farmers near Barwick will plant sugar cane extensively next year, as the finanicial returns from this crop are at present more promising than cot- j ton.

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. ; LAND IN VIENNA IS SOLD AT S4O AN ACRE VIENNA, Ga., Dec. 2—T.
