Be certain to cut out this list and file
it away for reference so you may have
I in mind the date selected for the meet
ing in your county. Do not fail to at
tend the meeting and take your wife
and family along as well. Tel! your
friends and neighbors about IL The
meeting constitutes an opportunity for
you-to receive information about a va
riety of topics which are of the great
est moment to the welfare of our farm
z ars. For instance, a letter has just been
received at the college stating that the
cotton caterptl'.ar has appeared and is
doing damage in some localities. Come
to the institute and let the college repre
sentatives there tell you in person and
in detail all about this caterpillar the
injury it does ana now to comoat tne
same. ,
There will be demonstrations on the
use of hog cholera serum made at most
of the institutes. This work will be in
charge of a competent veterinarian, and
farmers who see the serum injected and
provide themselves with a syringe may
later on be in position to treat their
own hogs sucessfully.
The boys and girls are expected to be
present at every meeting. Special ad
jdresses will be made in their behalf.
’The district agent in school extension
will be present at every institute. The
‘district agent for the girls' canning
clubs will be* present id those counties
(where the work is in progress. We
•re asking for the active co-operation
of the Farmers' Union, local press, fed
eration of clubs, the boards of trade,
the county school authorities, and
every other agency concerned in ad
vancing the welfare of the several
counties in which these meetings are
[to be held. There will be representa
tives at these meetings of not only the
college, but of the state department of
education, the state board of health, the
•tate board of entomology, and the of
fice of the state veterinarian. You will
see at once that ample provision has
been made to provide speakers who are
experts in their line and capable of
.giving information on a great variety
of topics.
These meetings are intended to pro
vide the basis of a great agricultural
education rally in every county in
Georgia. They can be made the medl
jum of a day of apcial pleasure and of
informational' value to the county
.which can not be justly estimated on a
monetary basis. Make arrangement to
present at the farmers' institute to
be held in your county. Get in touch
with the local officers of the Institute,
•Iso with the representatives of the
state college of agriculture. Write to
■this institution for information if you
can not secure it through your local
paper. We look for the present insti
tute campaign to be the most success
ful and helpful of any yet undertaken
In Georgia. Last year IOS meetings
were held attended by nearly 22.000
"farmers. It will evidence a deeper and
snore wide-spread interest on the part
bf the farmers in securing all informa
tion calculated to be of special benefit
to them.
You will observe that as many as
three meetings are in progress on the
game day. but they are in widely separ
ated counties. It is necessary that this
terrangement be made in order that so
trge a state as Georgia which con
ins nearly 40,000 square miles may
be covered tn the time at the disposal
of our men and with the limited funds
•vailable for this particular line of
work. The programs are varied to meet
the needs of the local community as
fanuch as possible. Farmers are expect
ed to aak questions at these meetings,
tend to bring in specimens of every de
scription for identification. You can ac
quire much specialized information by
doing so. Every effort will be made to
tnake the speeches delivered unusually
attractive and helpful through the use
of colored charts and such material for
demonstration as can be secured in the
local community.
Announcement will be made of addi
tional meetings from time to time as
they are arranged for. If your county
nas not secured a meeting, it is up tc
tou to take the matter in hand at once.
You should realize that arrangements
trust be made sometime in advance
Remember that the officers and repre-
k Sa
sentatives of the State College of Ag
riculture are carrying on this kind of
work foi the benefit of Georgia agri
culture when most professors are en
joying a holiday. Let us co-operate
with you and assist in building up the
agricultural interests of your commu
nity.
TREATMENT OF CATARRH IN
HORSES.
J. F. H., Royston, Ga., writes: I
would like to know a remedy for ca
tarrh in horses and mules.
There are two forms of catarrh in
horses, known as the acute and chronic
forms. Weather conditions have been
such this spring as to cause many ani
mals to take cold by reason of the sud
den changes in temperature and expos
ure to drafts in the stable when over
heated. For an ordinary cold in the
head, which is a z form of the disease,
the best thing to do is to give the pa
tient comfortable quarters, blanket
warmly if it appears to be cold and
chilly, and supply with laxative easily
digested food. Os course, protecting
from drafts is an important matter. A
tablespoonful of saltpetre should be
added to the drinking water once daily.
The horse's head may be steamed by
placing a blanket over it and setting
under this a pail of boiling water con
taining a tablespoonful of carbolic
acid. As the water cools more steam
can be generated by plunging hot
stones into the pail. A good tonic con
dition powder for you to use with your
horse is the following: Sulphate of
iron. 2 ounces; nux vomica seed, 1
ounce; gentian root, 2 ounces .and ni
trate of potash, 2 ounces. These In
gredients should be thoroughly pul
verized and mixed together and a tea
spoonful given in the feed three times
daily. You may also spray the nos
trils with a solution of boric acid in
the proportion of two drams to one
quart of water.

FERTILIZING FOR HIGH YIELDS.
C. V. 8., Reynolds, Ga., writes: I
have eight acres of land on which I de
sire to make six bales of cotton. It is
gray gravelly soil with a clay sub-soil.
The land was well broken in April and
planted the 15th of May. I put 300
pounds of 4-2-2 guano per acre. Would
like to know what additional fertilizer
to use. What do you think of the fol
lowing for a side application: 50
pounds of 14 per cent acid, 50 pounds
of kalnlt. 50 pounds of cotton seed meal
and 50 pounds of nitrate of soda, and
use the whole at the rate of 200 pounds
per acre.
I have a 1,000-pound mule six years
old that I am afraid is going blind.
Her eyes run water every time I work
her hard. She seems to eat all right,
but is not in very good condition. Will
cotton seed meal and hulls hurt my
mules? I also have fifteen acres of
cotton on stiff gray land with red clay
sub-soil. I bedded on 250 pounds of
an 8-2-1 fertilizer and want to make
fifteen bales on this piece of land.
It would be well, in our judgment,
for you to apply 200 pounds of a 14-4-4
as a side application to the cotton
growing, on your red land, and 250
pounds of the same fertilizer to the
cotton growing on the gray land. Your
proposal to use 50 pounds of acid phos
phate, 50 pounds of kaintt, 50 pounds
of cotton seed meal and 50 pounds of
nitrate of soda, is fairly satisfactory
in our judgment. This mixture would
supply about 10.5 ‘pounds of nitrogen.
9.5 pounds of phosphoric acid and 7
pounds of potash. This side aplication
would contain considerable less phos
phoric acid, but more nitrogen, and
about the same amount of potash as
the one we have suggested. We think
that the use of more phosphoric acid
on your land is probably desirable as
this will help to hasten the maturity
of the cotton in a late season, and
will supply the crop with an essential
element needed to perfect the seed,
and hence develop a satisfactory qual
ity and character of lint. If your crop
is very backward it is possible that it
would pay you to use a little later an
application of 50 to 100 pounds of ni
trate of soda as a second application.
This should be put ou, however, be
fore very long or It may tend to pro
duce growth at the expense of fruit,
and as the season is late. It will not
be good practice to use fertilizer cal
culated to prolong growth too late Into
the fall. Not being able to determine
what character of fall we are likely to
have, it is, of course, difficult to advise
just what kind of fertilizer to use. In
a very late season, the use of nitrate
as late as the 15th of July might often
prove profitable in your section of the
state, but ordinarily the last applica
tion had best be made about the first
of July.
Your mule is probably suffering from
some form of ophthalmia. This is
rather a common trouble in the south
where mules are fad almost exclusively
on corn and fodder. It is a fact that
the failure to provide them with a larg
er per cent of portein in the daily ra
tion and the character of roughness
used accounts in some measure for this
trouble. It is not likely that you can
do anything to prevent the blindness
coming on as troubles of this kind
are exceedingly difficult to treat and
are seldom cured after they become
at all chronic. This trouble is also
often hereditary. When an animal is
attacked it should be placed In a dark
ened stall. lodide of potash may be
given in dram doses internally as a
drench once daily for four or five days,
then withheld for the same length of
time, and repeated if necessary. Quin
ine in dram doses twice daily is also
beneficial.

PLANTING IRISH POTATOES AFTER
OATS.
J. D. T., Brewton. Ala., writes: I have
a lot of oat stubble land, and wish .to
put one or two acres in irian 'potatoes as
a fall crop. Please let me know the man
ner of preparation and fertilization for
this crop.
It will be best -for you to break the
land intended for Irish potatoes at once
turning the stubble under deeply and
rolling it so as to compact the sou ana
draw the moisture immediately to the
surface. Then harrow and disk until
a fine friable seed bed has been pro
duced. Open furrows two and a half
to three feet apart to a depth of six
inches. Mix with the subsoil a good
potato fertilizer containing about 10 per
eent of phosphoric acid. 4 per cent of ni
trogen in an organic form, and 6 to 7
per cent of potash. The fertilizer and sub
soil may be mixed together by means
of a bull tongue. The fertilizer had best
not come tn direct contact with the po
tatoes. Plant potatoes selected from the
first crop seed grown in your state. You
will no doubt be able to secure these

LET AGRICULTURAL DEPT.
KINDLE NO COLLECTIONS
This Is One Change Committee
Will Recommend to the
Legislature
A number of changes in the system
employed by the state department of
agriculture are recommended in the re
port of the Ault investigating commit
tee filed with the legislature at its
opening session Wednesday morning.
The more • Important recommenda
tions are as follows:
That all the money from fertilizer
tags and other sources be paid directly
into the state treasury and not into the
department.
That provision be made for six gen
eral Inspectors, they to be appointed by
the commissioner .of agriculture and
hold office for the entire 'year, and
their duties to be the Inspection of fer
tilizers, foods, weights and measures,
and such other duties as may be as
signed to them.
That where necessity demands, the
commissioner shall be empowered to
appoint short term Inspectors, to serve
for not longer than four months in any
one year, the number of such short
term inspectors to be limited to forty.
That a law be passed making it a
misdemeanor for any manufacturer or
dealer in fertilizer to employ any state
fertilizer inspector or for the inspector
to accept such employment, or for a
manufacturer or dealer in fertilizer to
give any presents or article of value
to an inspector or any member of his
family.
That a better and more complete sys
tem of reports be installed so that an
accurate daily record may be kept on
all inspectors and their work.
The committee also recommends that
the fees of oil Inspectors be reduced to
810 for the first three cars and 85 for
each succeeding car, and that the office
of the gasoline inspector be created
with duties and fees similar in nature
to those of oil inspectors.
BILLS PRESENTED.
Growing out of the report made to
the senate were the following bills in
troduced by Senator I. A. Bush, of the
Eighth district; Senator W. J. Harris,
of the 38th district, and Senator J. A.
Cromartie, of the Third, all members
of the Investigating qommittee:
A hill prescribing the duty of com
missioner of agriculture as to the col
lection and disposition of money re
ceived and manner in which money col
lected from the sale of fertilizer tags
shall be paid out.
A bill to fix the method of handling
and checking fertilizer and cotton seed
meal tags and food and feed stamps.
To require each dealer in commercial
fertilizer to register such with the com
missioner of agriculture on January 1
each year or before offering for sale any
fertilizer, paying a registration fee of
81; act not to apply to landlords selling
to tenants.
To fix the salary of the general in
spector of .oils.
ONE GENERAL INSPECTOR.
To appoint a general Inspector of oils.
To do away with inspection tax on
seeds.
To protect manufacturers against the
adulteration of food and drug products.
To provide for the registration of
brands of fertilizer.
To make it illegal for fertilizer man
ufacturers to employ fertilizer inspec
tors.
To require an oath of office for fer
tilizer inspectors.
To appoint siZ'caneral fertilizer in
spectors and additional inspectors when
needed.
through any reliable seed firm or you
may find some of your friends who have
some medium sized potatoes which they
will sell you at a reasonable cost. The
second crop potato is best planted whole.
They should be covered to a fair depth
and kept free from weeds and trash. If
you have a reasonable amount of mois
ture and the weather is not too hot, you
should get a fairly good stand. It is
important to secure second crop seea
from well-matured potatoes. Sometimes
seed from potatoes dug early for market
is not sufficiently matured to germinate
well. You may plant the potatoes any
time from July 15 to August 1. Tiw
great difficqlty in growing second crop
Irish potatoes ordinarily is to secure a
good stand, and then retain enough mois
ture in the ground to insure a uniform
growth during the hot dry weather which
often prevails in August and September.
Mulching the potatoes with a good cov
ering of straw or pine leaves is often an
advantage.

CONTROL OF THE PICKLE WORM.
A subscriber, Milledgeville, Ga.,
writes: Is there a remedy for the lit
tle greenish worms which get into cu
cumbers? I have some I wish to pickle,
but they are full of worms.
The insect referred to as destroying
your cucumbers is known as the pickle
worm. So far as known this worm is
indigenous to America and is probably
of tropical origin, and proves very in
jurious to melons and cucumbers in the
south. Its greatest damage is generally
done about this season of the year. The
eggs are deposited by a moth on the
flowers and buds and other tender por
tions of the plant. Later they begin
to feed on the young fruit. The best
method of fignting this best is clean
farming and rotation of crops. These,
however, are bu. temporary aids. As
a matter of fact, the pickle worm has
never been successfully combatted. The
best suggestion we can offer is the use
of arsenate of lead and Paris Green,
Spray with the former at the rate of
1 pound to 15 to 25 gallons of water.
The spraying should be given as soon
as the buds form, and a second appli
cation should be made two or three
weeks later. A third and fourth spray
ing may often be necessary. The final
spraying had best be done with Paris
Green at the rate of about one ounce
to six gallons of water. The arsenate
of lead is very adhesive and is not ad
vised for the final spraying. Fruit
sprayed with arsenate of lead or Paris
Green should be thoroughly washed be
fore being used. The spraying results
in killing a large number of the worms
which feed on the leaves and other
parts of the plant. It is regrettable
that no more efficient remedy of con
trolling this pest has been found, but
these are the best suggestions that can
be offered under the circumstances.

TREATMENT OF RMUT IN OATS.
J. H. D., Blairsville, Ga., writes: I
send you some oat heads which have
been attacked by smut. About one
tenth of the crop is affected in this
matter. Will soaking the seed in blue
stone help the trouble?
The smut which has attacked your
oats may be checked and largely held
in check and prevented from affecting
future crops by treating the seed in any
of the following methods. It is, of
course, important to rotate your crops
and not grow oats on the same land
from year to year, as the smut spores
will live over in the soil and prove in
jurious to succeeding generations. If
the land is rotated there is not so much
danger of spores injuring a crop grown
on 11. once in three to five icaxa as
OPEN HUNT SEASON ON
NOV. !0, WARDENS
Association Also Asks Change
in Dog Tax Law and
Other Laws
At a meeting held Tuesday morning
in the ball room of the Kimball house,
the Georgia Game Protectve association
adopted resolutions recommending that
the state's game laws be so amended as
to begin the open season for hunting
on Novmber 20, instead of December 1,
as at present.
This change in the law is desired in
order that the state’s nimrods may en
joy a hunt on Thanksgiving day. For
the first time in the history this
pleasure was denied the hunter's on last
Thanksgiving and many of them have
entered a vigorous protest of the date
prescribed by law for the beginning of
the open season.
The association also adopted resolu
tions making the following racommenda
tlons to the legislature:
That the deputy game wardens, who
notv serve without pay, he given au
thority to collect the dog tax and that
they be allowed a commission of 50 per
cent on the amount collected; it being
pointed opt that less than - 50 per cent of
the dogs are now returned for taxation,
and consequently the state loses in the
nelghobrhood of 8100,000 annually, from
uncollected taxes.
That all surplus funds accruing from
the sale of game licenses and application
of fines be applied to the propagation of
fish and birds.
That the laws for the protection of
fish and oysters be made more stringent.
That the penalties for polluting streams
with sawdust and other substances
poisonous to fish be made more severe.
In addition the association elected an
executive committee to look after its In
terests during the interim between meet
ings and especially during the sessions
of the legislature. This committee Is to
be composed of the president, W. V.
Zimmer; the secretary, Bradford Byrd;
the game commissioner, Jesse Mercer,
and five other members to be selected by
the president.
Another meeting of the association will
be held Tuesday afternoon at which all
recommendations tb the legislature will
be agreed upon.
GRASS WORM RUINS~
CROPS IN ALABAMA
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MONTGOMERY, Ala., June 25.—Crops
are being destroyed by a new species of
grass worm and the state department
of agriculture has started an investiga
tion. During the past two weeks daily
reports have been received that the pest
is making great inroads into the corn,
cotton and other crops.
Specimens of corn nearly grown which
were secured from Houston, Coffee and
Butler counties show how the worms
are working. Whole stalks have been
destroyed in a few hours.
A ten-acre crop in Butler county was
destroyed in four days, according to re
ports to the department of agriculture
and industries. The worm resembles
the ordinary grass worm but Chief Clerk
J. C. Cheney, of the agricultural de
partment, says it is harder to extermi
nate than the other pest.
BAINBRIDGE OFFER?"
“SWAT THE FLY” PRIZE
(Special Dispatch, to The Journal.)
BAINBRIDGE. Ga., June 25.—The
health committee .of the Federated
Wofnen’s clubs, of Bainbridge, has in
augurated a “swat the fly” campaign.
Handsome prizes will be given for botn
boys and girls and also for the colored
ch ildren that bring in the largest num
ber of flies, the first grand prize free
for all, being a gold watch. Placards
have been printed getting forth the
rules of the contest, and placed in con
spicuous places throughout the city.
Banners with the slogan, “swat the
fly” have been made and adorn nearly
every public vehicle in Bainbridge. The
children are taking great interest In
the contest and it is expected that flies
will be measured by the gallon when
the accounting time comes.
Methodists Meet
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
COLUMBUS, Ga., June 25.—The annual
conference of the Columbus district, M.
E. church of the South Georgia confer
ence, Is in session at Waverly Hall. Ga.,'
today, the session having been called to
order by Dr. T. B. Stanford, presiding
elder of the district, this morning at 10
o’clock. A preliminary sei vice was held
last night, at which Dr. W. C. Lovett,
of Atlanta, took a prominent part. Quite
a number of leading Methodists of this
section are in attendance, including some
40 from Columbus.
Mgs, C, E, Carr Dead
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MACON, Ga., June 25.—Mrs. Catherine
E. Carr, aged 85 years, one of the best
known citizens of Macon, died yesterday
very suddenly at the home of her niece,
Mrs. H. M. Wyche, Western Heights.
Extreme old age is said to be the cause
of her sudden demise. She was one of
the pioneer citizens of Macon, with a
multitude of friends throughout the city,
who are grieved over her death.
where it is grown from year to year and
the spores accumulate on that account.
The loss from smut is very great in
this state and it is a needless waste,
as the treatment of the grain may be
very easily accomplished and has
proven wonderfully effective.
The formalin treatment is considered
one of the very best to use for this
trouble. Make a solution of one pint
of formalin, that is a 40 per cent solu
tion of formaldehyde, to 50 gallons of
water. Treat the seed by sprinkling.
The grain should be stirred so all parts
of It will be covered with the solution.
Then allow it to dry. A better method
in my judgment is to immerse the oats
in the solution for 30 minutes and then
spread out to dry. Before any of these
treatments art undertaken the oats
should be placed in a tub of cold water
and the smut balls skimmed off the
surface. Bluestone or cupper sulphate
may also be used. Immerse for ten min
utes in a solution of one pound of blue
stone to five gallons of water. Allow
to drain in a basket or sack for ten
minutes and then spread out to dry.

NEGRO WOMAN LYNCHED
FOR KILLING MISTRESS
VIENNA, Ga., June 25.—A crowd,
composed of more than 100 citizens of
Pinehurst and Vienna, Monday night
overpowered officers with Annie Barks
dale, a negro servant, who killed Mrs.
R. E. Jordan, wife of a prominent Pine
hurst planter, carried the negress to the
scene of the crime and hanged her to a
tree.
The negro woman, it is understood,
became infuriated with Mrs. Jordan and
attacked her with a knife, stabbing her
in the body and neck, death resulting in
a short time.
Sheriff Bennett was on the scene
shortly afterward, and immediately ar
rested the negress and started with her
to jail in an automobile. Several autos,
with a determined crowd, started in
pursuit.

WILL ASK EXTENSION
OF. BRINSON RAILWAY
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH. Ga.. June 25.—A con
certed effort will be made by the busi
ness men of Savannah to bring such
influence to bear upon the officials of
the Brinson railway that the proposed
improvement will be extended to Ath
ens and Washington, as first intended.
This matter has been taken up by the
transportation committee of the cham
ber of commerce and a committee ap
pointed to take up the work.
This movement is being made to
counteract the effort that is being made
by Augusta to have the railroad enter
that city instead of extending its line
through the territory between Athens
and Washington. A conference will
probably be held in the near future be
tween the business men of the city and
the officials of the Brinson railway
to further consider the proposition.

WORKMEN AT NEWNAN
INJURED BY BOLT
(Specia? Dispatch to The . T ourn»D
NEWNAN, Ga., June 25.—Lightning
struck a house on which several work
men were employed at the time Monday
afternoon. It came through an opening
in the roof, ran down one of the sup
ports, tearing it to pieces and throwing
pieces all around. It then ran along the
floor and struck Mr. W. H. Bauchell, a
plumber, at work in the basement, and
two of his negro assistants. Mr.
Bauchell was knocked unconscious, and
the bolt left a rugged red mark where
it struck him on the neck and across his
body.
Prompt medical assistance soon re
vived Mr. Bauchell. The lightning also
struck one of the negro assistants, who
was at the time on the other side of the
basement, and it was an hour before he
was revived. The other negro in the
basement was bit slightly shocked,
although he was working by the side of
the one who was wounded most severely.
The workmen on the floor which was
struck, though very near to where she
bolt came down the support, were but
slightly shocked, and knew nothing of
the ones’ who were so badly wounded
until one of them revived and called for
help. The basement was opposite the
part of the building where the lightning
struck.
