Athene. Ga How Universities Serve A State Ever since the dawn of creation man has bean engaged in a Titanic strug* gle. While the outcome has never been in doubt, it has determined the extent of hie ability to dominate the affairs of the universe. The cause of thia mo men to us struggle has been the effort on '‘the part of man to reduce the infinite t» the finite; to translate the unknown into the concrete; and to subjugate the imperial fqrces of nature to hi* service through the controlling power of a train ed Intellect The law formulated in re cent times by Darwin, “the struggle fbr existence,** is as old as time, and ap plied as strongly to the cave man as to the generation of today. In an effort to survive in the midst of unfriendly sur roundings, it is easy to f imagine how our prehistoric ancestors sought for the knowledge which was to bring their de scendants that power of achievement over material things whteh has proved tn be the crowning glory of our modern civilisation. It is not easy to appreciate how through succeeding ages and gener ations slight secessions to our knowl- I edge have lad us onward and upward uhtll we may epitomise our appreciation of education in some such phrase as “educate a nation and it will fulfill a destiny.'* Borne ouch sentiment as this actuated the ancient philosophers in their search for truth, and caused them to gather about some leader of renown for the purpose of conference and study that they might obtain an insight into the mysteries of life and death in the highly superstitious and contentions era In which they lived. Although some of these men were no doubt concerned in the erection of altar to the “unknown God" about which Paul writes so in structively. they “builded better than they knew" for they planted the germ out of which has been evolved the mod em university. No doubt they felt come such Inspiration as Goethe has por trayed in “Art little? Do thy little well. And for thy comfort know Great men can do their greatest work i No better than just so." The history of the rise and progress I of higher education is certainly inspir- ; Ing. for it illustrates clearly the ardu- ■ ous effort with which concrete knowl-i edge has been acquired and the serious' mistakes sometimes made by those who through intellectual opportunity should have been in position to lead us suc cessfully In our search for truths of fundamental importance. It emphasises also the difficulty of expounding a true philosophy or maintaining a basic type of education tn the absence of adequate laboratory facilities and efficient scien tific apparatus with which to judge and measure accurately the psychic or physi cal forces of nature and their relation to each other. It demonstrates the ne cessity of developing educational effort along biologic lines for more progress has been made within the period since the ceil and its contents was estab lished as “the physical basis of life” in plants and animals than in all the centuries antedating this epoch-making discovery. The word “university" in its original sense meant simply a scholastic guild; that is. a concourse tn which teachers or teachers and scholars met. Later, these centers of learning were incor porated for their own protection, and finally became chartered institutions. Originally, the universrty was a pagan conception; later it came under the surveillance or patronage of religious organisations. Tn order thht the doc trines of the ehtirch might exert great er influence in national affairs, the scope of the church—schools or uni versities—was somewhat enlarged. In the course education passed very largely out from under the control of the church to that of the state, due to the introduction of new subjects or study, the adoption of new methods of teaching, and the growing tendency to organize for national protection and the advancement of commerce and in dustries incident to the welfare of the several nations concerned.

The founding of the ' state-church college naturally followed, though these Institutions trained the men who later devised our system of ; free public schools. In what may be known as the second period of the dis- J senters' colleges were established, ot which Princeton was the earliest type, and the "long college" of our grand fathers* time a lineal descendant. Then followed the founding or the state uni versity of which the University ot Georgia was toe first At a much later date, graduate, or what some are pleased to term, the real universities, of which Johns Hopkins was one of the first were organised. It has taken many years for the uni versity to become firmly established in the United States for our earlier institutions were all of college grade, and it is only recently in many states that an attempt has been made to prop erly differentiate between college and university courses of instruction. It is not surprising, however, that once thio ; line was clearly defined the university should have developed with astonishing rapidity. This has been due In large measure to the opportunity accorded for research, which constitutes now, and always will constitute, the main incent i ive to discovery and achievement on ' the part of every true student whether ' he occupy a seat tn the class room, pur sues science in the laboratory, or lec tures from the rostrum. Lately, the universities havq under- I gone a new Impulse and great devel- ■ opment is in progress at present, due | largely to the more liberal endowment !by private individuals and the state las well. As a result, graduate courses , have been established in many instltu- I tlons. handsome and oostly buildings I erected, and laboratory equipment and ’ facilities of the most modern character I provided. Teaching and research have i been further differentiated than ever ! before, and opportunities for advance , ment afforded teachers and students which were non-existant less than a I quarter of a century ago. To dp justice to the origin, rise and ! predominating influence of the Amer ican university system would call for an elaborate consideration from a phil osophical and ethical standpoint which eannot be undertaken at this time, but it is evident that the existing institu tions are fully imbued with the spirit of that text which says "replenish the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowls of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” To do this successfully calls for the high est development of man's Intellectual faculties, for the industrious prosecu tion of research along varied lines, and for persistent and continued effort to take fragments of truth from the great arena of the unknown and translate them into the language of human under standing. The university established on comprehensive lines, liberally endow ed. and directed by men with the high est training and ideals is the greatest constructive force which civilisation has yet devised for its uplift. What the uni versity is to mean to the future develop ment of the American nation cannot be foretold at this juncture, but it is quite evident that it is capable of providing a satlsifactory solution of many of the vexing problems of modern clvilsation if it is allowed to work out its destiny without too much outside interference. The American university is a growth and not a creation. It was not estab lished by flat; it can not be directed and controlled by such means. It is a product of evolution and an effort on the part of our people to adjust them selves to the conditions' of the age in which they live. It should not be con cluded that the university has been as readily accepted by the people as the discussion up to this time might imply. The state university has encountered fierce opposition In some quarters. Even now its work is often viewed with sus picion or indifference. Nevertheless, it has become so well established as to be recognised as a factor in the education al scheme of practically all of the states. The opposition to universities is based THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA.. TITESDA 1 PUBLIC CONDEMNS VETO OF GOVERNOR BROWN His Action Is Interpreted as a Leaning Toward the Cor porations (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) JULIETTE, August 31.—Governor Jos eph M. Brown has lost many friends in Monroe county because of his veto of the mileage bill, in which the traveling men of the state were so keenly Interested Not only well known commercial travel ers, residing in this county, but dther influential citizens as well, have ex pressed strong Indignation at the act of the chief executive in denying to the commercial men the justice which they have been seeking from the railroads for many years. A great many of the best known com mercial travelers of Monroe county have stated that really they could see no rea son why Governor Brown should veto a measure, which would mean qp much to the travling men of the state, and at the same time result in little, if any Injury at all to the railways. Many of Governor Brown’s strongest supporters in this county, not only among the com mercial travelers, but other citUeps a.i well, who supported the governor dur ing his three campaigns for governor and always endorsed the principles of his platforms, and his executive acts, are now strongly inclined to believe that Governor Brown does lean towards the corporations, and that by vetoing the mileage bill he has discriminated in favor of the big railway corporations of Geor gia against citizens of the state. Numbers of the most prominent citi zens have expressed even outspoken con demnation of the act of the chief execu tive in bowing down to the corporations, end discriminating against thousands of representative citizens. Traveling men find that all over the state that not only the commercial trav elers themselves but hundreds of other citizens as well realize that the governor treated the traveling men with grave in justice when be vetoed the mileage bill, and that the only possible excuse he could offer for so doing would be an ac knowledgement of the fact that he was inclined to discriminate against many of Georgia's best citizens in favor of the railway corporations. to some extent at least on the belief that such institutions arc irreligious and that the Ideals for which they stand and a determination to state facts as they find them often brings man Into conflict with the laws of God as set forth in the Bible. Wheri the principle of evo lution was first presented, it was fiercely denounced from the pulpit under the impression that it could only be an ag nostic proposition and the conception of a mind wholly dominated by the devil. Geology and biology, and other modernly conceived and developed sciences have been attacked in a similar manner. The folly of all this useless contention has been clearly demonstrated. There is a statement in holy writ which reads as follows: “Know the truth and it shall make you free.” It is a divinely con ceived mandate, and as man has been able through slow and persistent inves tigation to acquire truth* bit by bit and correlate it together, it has been shown conclusively that the conflict between science and religion is one of the imag ination and not of reality. Now that a better understanding and appreciation of the relation of these two agencies has been brought about, the university is growing rapidly in popular favor and in efficiency and ability to serve the commonwealth. • • • THE ADVANTAGES OF DEEP TILLING. J. H., Atlanta, Ga., writes: From the ex perience you have had with the Spalding deep tilling machine would like to know what you think of it. We have used the Spalding deep tilling machine on the college farm for several seasons past-and have found it a most satisfactory implement for breaking the soil to an unusual depth. This plow is very heavy in its construction, weighing about 1.160 pounds There kre two disks so adjusted that one runs in front of the other and cuts and turns the soil to a depth of six or eight Inches, and the one following behind cuts the soil that much deeper. Where the land is in fairly good condition, we have been able to plow as much as 18 inches deep. We think you can average on land which has not been broken deeply before 15 inches with thia plow. It will, of course, require at least four good mules, weigh ing 1,500 pounds to operate it. Better types of animals to use for this plow would be Percheron mares which may be kept for breeding purposes. The Spald ing plow has the advantage of mixing the top and bottom soli so thoroughly that a lot of red clay. If that happens to be the predominating type of soil, is not brought to the surface. In other words, when the plow has done its work a new top soil is not presented as the seed bed for next year. These plows re quire a heavy draft to operate them, but land plowed with them 1s put In most ex cellent condition, can absorb and hold water to advantage, and provides a deep and ample space for the roots of plants to develop in, and are in other respects physically in ideal condition for the production of crops. As the land is plowed from year to year its breaking becomes easier. We regard this as one of the best types of deep plows next to the steam or gasoline plows, which has PLANTERS INTERESTED IK SCIENTIFIC FARMING Journal’s Editorial on Science • in Agriculture Is Warmly ‘ Indorsed (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) JULIETTE. Ga., Aug. 31.—Represen tative planters of Monroe county warm ly Indorse the editorial in a recent edi tion of The Atlanta Journal, stressing the great importance of an application of science to agriculture as a means of saving millions of dollars to Georgia farm*. Being more keenly Interested now in advanced methods of farming than ever before, these farmers avail themselves of every opportunity for reading literature touching the value and necessity of scientific farming. The Journal’s editorial was prefaced with the statement that H. B. Layton, secretary of the Tifton chamber of com merce. was the authority for the an nouncement that the planters In south west Georgia had been saved at least a billion dollars by the United States government’s farm demonstration work during the spring and summer of thia year. Crops in Monroe county were affected last spring and summer by visitation of similar difficulties as beset those in southwest Georgia, and the«e difficul ties and adverse conditions were greatly overcome by an application of the knowledge concerning advanced farm ing disseminated by the experts of the government In many sections of Mon roe county, due to the increased rains, and other grave dlsadvanta*-*" the corn and eotton erops would have been al most total failures if the farmers hadn't got busy and sought the advice of the government experts, and applied to the existing evils the farm demon stration remedies recommended by the United States department of agricul ture through its experts tn this state As tn southwest Georgia, grave and extraordinary problems resulted from the excessive showers and these could be successfully met only by the new methods of farming as recommended by the government experts. As a result of the application by the farmers of scientific agricultural methods to their farming operations, especially when confronted by the grave problems aris ing from the unsatisfactory weather condtlons, crops throughout this coun ty are above the average, while earlier In the season prospects were exceed ingly gloomy. The planters and hundreds of other citizens as well who are beginning to appreciate the necessity of bettor meth ods of farming expressed keen indorse ment of The Journal’s editorial stress ing the tremendous importance and significance of the adoption of agrieffl tural education by planters not only In any one section of the ■***•- al over Georgia. They believe that what was accomplished ‘ he . experts in southwest Georgia of agricultural prosperity and advance ment can be accomplished throughout the whole state In behalf of scientifi agricultural education. yet come to our attention. capable of burying large / trash which may.be on the lan THE .VALUE OF DIFFERENT PARTS ’ OF CORN. A correspondent. Newnan. Ga.. I would like to know the food valuei of corn stalks, corn, cop and all after grinding? What would be the value sweet potato vines ground into food. Is there any food value in sorghum stalks after they are ground fdr syrup? There are so many by-products wasted on the farm by negro tenants that we. wish to plan some way by which more of them can be saved. All our crab grass has been wasted and I have been told that it is fine hay- Corn fodder, that le the stalks in cluding the ears, contains per 100 pounds about 2.5 per cent of protein. 34.6 per cent of digest ble car bohydrates and 1.2 per cent of digestible fat. Corn stover, that is where the ears have been removed, contains 1.4 per cent of digestible protein, 31.2 per cent of digestible carbohydrates and 7 per cent of fat. You will thus see that the whole plant, Including the corn, is con siderably richer than the stover alone. Corn leaves, on the other hand, contain 2.8 per cent of digestible protein, 37.8 per cent of carbohydrates and 8 per cent of fat . They, therefore, constitute one of the best portions of the corn plant, and owing to their palatability are quite readily eaten by all classes of live stock. To attempt to grind up a whole crop of x corn, including leaves, stalk and ears would not be good prac tice in my judgment, as the resulting material would be a relatively low grade product. It would have about the same composition as timothy hay, and it would not be possible to maintain any class of live stock on timothy hay alone with satisfaction. In other words, some concentrate should be fed. In my judgment it would be better to harvest the corn and utilize it as grain feed, improving its feeding value for horses and mules by the addition of some cotton seed meal or other desir able concentrate. Then harvest the fod der separately, shred it and feed it in such amount with or without additional roughness as will best meet the needs of the live stock consuming it We have found shredded fodder an excel lent form of roughness to use for the maintenance of both work stock and animals on the farm to be carried over from year to year. It is, of course, not nearly so good for dairy cows as silage. A good ration for horses and mules would consist, say of 10 pounds of shredded corn stover, 2 to 4 pounds of peavine hay, 10 to 12 pounds of corn neal with 2 pounds of cotton seed meal jer head per day where the animals do tot weigh over 1,000 pounds. This will be found an economical and desirable ation for animals at hard work. If they are standing in the stable or do ng nothing the ration should be cut down. Sweet potato vines do not constitute very rich food, though they could pos ibly be fed in the green state with ome success to various clashes of live lock. They can be used ror supplying ome vegetable matter to the soil, how ver, and need not be entirely wasted, rab grass makes a fair hay, but is ot so rich in feeding nutrients as some ther forms of roughness available on most farms. It should be cut and uti ized, however, whenever practicable to Io so, though if turned into the soil it will help it to some extent by supplying humus through its decay. Sorghum stalks from which the juice as been expressed are not very rich, ontaining less than 5 per cent of di rstible protein, 52.3 per cent of carbo hydrates and 7 per cent of fat per 100 nounds. You will see that they are •r.uch lower in feeding value than corn tover or fodder, and where one at empts to use them it would be neces ary to feed more grain, and especially ration containing a higher per cent of protein. | SEPTEMBER 3,1 NATIONAL FARMERS’ U'llSS CONVENES IN GHinANDDGA Meeting Will Be Held Sept, 3. Will Be Largest in History of the Union (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) CHATTANOOGA, Tenn , Aug 31 —Be ginning Tuesday, September 3. the Na tional Farmers’ union will hold its con vention here. It is expected that this will be the largest convention, in numbers, ever held by the Farmers' union- Numbers of del egates to the Union Phosphate company the Carmichael Manufacturing company meetings in Atlanta last week expressed their intention of availing themselves of the opportunity, since thia Is the first time the national convention has been held in the south or near enough tor the Georgia members of the union to attend, in a number of years. President Barrett says that this will be the biggest and best attended session of the union ever held. He points out that the members all over the country have taken on new courage, and that besides there being more money in the hands of the different state unions, theie are now more members than ever before in the union, and from present indica tions there is no reason why the union should not add one and (one-half million members In the next 12 months. Representation is based upon each 5.- 000 members in each stat* or a majority fraction, and with more than 80 states to be represented the delegates them selves will make up a large number, be sides the delegations of visitors from Georgia and other near states. The meetings will be held in the con vention hall of the Read house, and the chamber of commerce and city officials of Chattanooga have made every nec essary arrangement for the comfort and entertainment of their visitors. The Farmers' union has had a mswvel ous growth since its birth only ten years ago. Starting in Texas ttyb founders of this order early branched out into neighboring states, and How organizations will be found in almost every state of the union, with more than 30 state organ izations and more than 3.000,000 mem bers. ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF UNION. It is not so much the numbers com prising this organization that the offi cers and members point to with pride, but rather to its accomplishment* in the last few years. In practically all the organized states it has been necessary to also organize In connection therewith different co operative enterprises for caring for the products of its members, or for the pur pose ot manufacturing different articles used on the farm, where the members thought they were not being given ex actly a "square deal” by the business world. This has led to the launching of fertilizer factories, farm implement fac tories and others in the south, and to fruit exchanges and truck exchanges in the north and west. Probably the one organization originat ed by the Farmers" union which will be of more direct benefit to members of the order is the National Warehouse com pany. It is probable that the further discussion of this company as regards its universal adoption as the best means for the proper handling of the cotton crop will be one of the live topics at the approaching convention of the union in Chattanooga next week. Considerable interest throughout Geor gia is being manifested in the introduc tion of the methods employed by this company. Its methods of the business have already been endorsed by the Na tional Farmers* union and by practically all of the state unions. It is no experi ment and has been in successful opera tion for more than three years, until re cently having the name of the Mississip pi Warehouse company and doing busi ness almost exclusively in that state, where it has had the approval of bank ers, cotton brokers and all who have to deal with cotton. Its officers are very careful to state that it is purely a business corporation, not attempting to guarantee prices or to do anything more than provide ade quate and businesslike facilities for the proper handling And protection of the cotton crop. Its large financial strength puts the assets of the entire company behind every receipt, secures the attention of idrge buyers, minimises risks of all who deal with it, enables the company to as sist the weaker communities and pro vides a method for withstanding tempo rary depressions and gives bankers and money lenders assurances that all of the guarantees will be carried out. The uniform system of the oompany gives a standard receipt for stored cot ton, the same everywhere, secures one policy of insurance with the same con ditions at all warehouse points, guaran tees to banks the same condition of man agement at every warehouse in the chain; also gives close check on opera tions of every employe. WAREHOUSE RECEIPTS. In Mississippi, where this company has been doing business for about three years, the banks will accept its ware house receipts as preferred collateral. The approved system gives great econ omy of management, enabling the stand ard forms to be bought cheaper in large quantities, and providing a high-class general manager with a prorata expense, small for each house. Through the co-operative efforts of this company the strong communities are en abled to assist the weaker, grades are standardized, the market ir widened, thn small producer is given the advantages of a large deal and in many places un fair competition is largely eliminated in the sale of the crop where the cotton is rushed on the market, the company pro viding holding facilities and plans where by the cotton may be marketed slowly. Besides the organization of different co-operative enterprises in the different states the Union has made itself felt in other ways. The National union has maintained for a number of year* a legis lative committee at the national capitol, and this committee, headed by National President Charles S. Barrett, has been the means of securing some very effec tive legislation affecting the farmers* in terests. A number of the state unions also have legislative committees at their respective state capltols during the ses sions of the general assembly. Taken as a whole the Farmers’ union has probably done more and made itself lelt more in the law-mak’ng and busi ness centers of this country than any ther organization.

Journal.) QUITMAN, Ga Aug. 30.-Quitman will have a co"’ election next Tuesday. Towns that have *ong since settled a question so simple a* to whether cows should be allowed to run loose on the streets and graze on the gardens may find occasion for mirth in the spectacle of the town cow as a political factor, but it is no joke here. I The cow Is not only a political factor, but the Woman's Civic league which is trytng to get the MWH off the streets, has openly aecused the poHftcians of be ing afraid of the cow. This comes of the fact that the women presented petitions to the council, asking foe an ordinance keeping the cows off the streets. The council passed the problem on to the Democratic executive committee and the committee, in effect, said. “No you don’t!" So the council finally called an election, and thus passed the problem on to the voter himself. And as it is the voter "himself" and not "herself." the women, a majority of whom are opposed to the cow. feel at a disadvantage. The voter* have here tofore excused their stanch support of the cow by hold.ng her up as a valuable scavenger on the streets, as the main stay of numerous widows and orphans, and as being more valuable to the com munity than parks and fipwers. In re ply to which the women point out that nice people don’t want cows to “scav enger," and that the whole problem could be easily setled if the men wold devote the energies they use up in "politics” te building cowpen* and pasture*. hi bit! on. This will be a great fair, and you will surely not want to miss it. Bring the whole family along. 5
