MEETINGS FOR GEORGIA FARMERS By authority of a small appropriation made by the state for the holding of farmers' institutes, the State College of Agriculture is arranging this summer to hold a large series of county meet ings for the benefit of those who reside tn the rural districts. Already 103 meet ings have been arranged for, and it Is believed that nearb' every county in the state will enjoy the benefits this summer which a farmers' institute is calculated to confer. A list of the places where institutes will be held with the dates ♦ selected for the same is published for the information of our readers; June 22—Pidcock. June 24—Camilla.

August a—Cumming 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 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1912. 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.

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. MOULTRIE FARMER SHOWS COTTON BOLL (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MOULTRIE, Ga., June 25.—Bradley Ross, a well known farmer, who lives along Route No. 3, from Moultrie, ex ports the first full grown boll of cotton seen in this city this year.
