importance of this practice has been out in the press,
demonstrated over and over again,
daily a person who has neglected to
take this precaution has had the sav
ings of years wiped away in a few min
utes. Why is it more important that
one should insure his property against
loss than his crop? To all rational
thinking people it will occur as wise
and desirable in both instances. The
question naturally arises therefore,
what can the farmer do towards insur
ing his crop? In the first place he can
select his seed from those plants which
have withstood the unfavorable condi
tions of the season to the best advan
tage. For instance, the plant wihch has

rock is applied there is little danger
of the nitrogen supply being reduced
as might be the case where caustic or
biting lime is used. Where one applies
caustic lime an application of 1,000
pounds per acre wil give you, relatively
speaking, about the same effect as an
amendment in the soil as a ton of the
pulverized rock. One should be able
to secure and apply a ton of the pul
verized rock at about the cost of 1,000
pounds of the caustic lime. In your
section of the state we think it will
make little difference as to the per
centage of caroonate or magnesia which
the sample of rock applied contains. We
would suggest that in applying lime you
put it on as a surface dressing after
the land has been plowed and prepared
tor planting. Do not mix it with the
fertilizer, but allow a few days to elapse
between the application of lime and fer
tilizer. We would advise that where
lime *is applied to the land it is best
to sow a cover crop or defer the ap
plication of lime until near the time of
planting tne crop.

ten and hauls home the seed to use for
planting his crop next year is inviting
the introduction into his field of an in
tensive a form of all the troubles and
diseases observed there the previous
year Surely it is worth while to make
some effort to save and preserve seed
from vigorous disease-resistant plants
and thus obtain a more nearly uniform
stand the next season and a vigorous
and more productive and desirable strain
of cotton.
The seed should be selected with the
following ends in view: First of all.
the plant from which it is chosen should
be a healthy one. It may be that there
are evidences of both anthracnose and
black rot in the field. If one or both
of these troubles be present choose
plants which show an entire absence
of the disease or at a minimum of the
same. They will generally be found
growing, not in a patch by themselves
but in the midst of a diseased area. This
shows that they possess a great degree
of immunity or resistant to these trou
bles. The lint should be picked from
the largest and healthiest of the bolls
and kept separate from the other cot
ton. It should not even be stored with
the rest but put in another place. After
all the cotton has been gathered gin it
separately. This may be done by means
of- a hand gin which will not be found
expensive provided the farmers in a
community club together and buy one
for the use of several individuals. These
gins can be operated by means of a
gasoline engine or where there is an
abundance of electrical power by h mo
tor. After using the gin in each in
stance it should be thoroughly cleaned
and disinfected so it will not carry dis
ease from one lot of cotton to the next.
After the seed have been ginned they
should be stored where they will not
be exposed to undesirable weather con
ditions.
In selecting seed from a plant it is
desirable that the fiber be examined as
to length, strength and quality of sta
ple. It is very important that the
staple be of uniform length and not
shaped like a butterfly when combed out.
In other words, if there is a lot of
short line on one side of the seed, it
means that there will be an undue loss
in milling and that when the lint is of
fered for sale it will be discriminated
against in the market because of this
large percentage of loss in milling due
to the varying length of the fibers. It
is important that the seed be large and
plump and well matured. It is not diffi
cult to ascertain the existence of these
qualities. Cut open the seeds and ex
weevil damage. Surely, if it is possible
for the farmer to produce a seed run
ning higher than normal in nitrogen and
oil it is to his interest to do so. Just
as soon as he can accomplish this end
and his friends and neighbors take it
dlings, or you may feed the ration of
corn meal and cotton seed meal which
has been suggested. It is important that j
you secure a good grade of meal where
you expect to feed it to hogs even for
limited periods of time. If any of your
animals show sickness you should stop
feeding at once, and in order that you
may detect any evidence of illness you
must watch them closely from day to
day. **
We think you will find cotton seed meal
a satisfactory source or organic nitrogen
for most crops. Possibly you have not

to make localities known for the pro

question is one of vital importance ana
concern to every farmer, and the selec
tion of seed this fall will enable him
not only to insure his crop but to add
materially to its valuable qualities as
well if he will only give careful consid

Inches square, and should be two to two
and a half feet high. After the pota
toes have been dug and exposed to the
air, but not to the sun, so as to dry
them out thoroughly, pile about the
flues, not too thickly, but to a conven
ient height. Then cover lightly with
atraw or corn stover. After they have
remained In this condition for several
days, cover lightly with earth, and put
on more earth as the temperature falls.
In very cold weather the top of the
flues should be covered with straw, and
if the weather continues wet it is well
to have a covering of hoards to protect
the pit from rain as much as possible.
If course, no potatoes that are bruised
or injured in any way should be put
n the pit. This is a very Important mat

matter.
Onions, as you no doubt realize, re-
quire heavy fertilization, and especially
is this true where the soil is not natur
ally well supplied with vegetable mat
ter or enriched in this respect from
heavy applications of yard manure.
Since it seems impracticable for you to
use yard manure on account of danger
of spreading nut grass I would suggest
that you try the following plan of fertil
ization for this crop: Apply to the soil
formula containing about 50 pounds of
available nitrogen in organic form. For
this purpose dried blood, cotton seed
meal or tankage may be used. You
should apply 60 pounds 6f phosphoric-
acid partly in organic form as bone or
tankage and the balance as acid phos
phate. Supply 100 pounds of actual
potash derived from a muriate. This
formula would contain practically 5
per cent of .nitrogen, 6 per cent ot
phosphoric acid and 10 per cent of pot
ash. Usej) at the rate of 1,000 pounds
per acre and well worked into the soil
previous to planting it should provide
a satisfactoi y formula for onions. You
should also figure on using from 75 to
100 pounds of nitrate of soda or 60 to
75 pounds of sulphate of ammonia as
top dressings, applied in small amounts
and at intervals of two to three weeks.
The first application should not be made
until the crop is well started. The sec
ond may be made in the autumn and
then one or two applications at least in
the late winter or early spring.

BY RALPH SMITH.
EATONTON, Ga., Nov. 3.—Governor
of the boys’ corn clubs and the girls’
canning clubs will be in Washington
the second week in December on their
annual trip to receive diplomas for
proficient corn production and canning
from the secretary of agriculture.
During the year 91,196 southern
boys each planted an acre of corn. The
members of the girls’ canning clubs
number 33,060. The government is not
paying the expense of the members of
these organizations. The expenses are
borne by comercial organizations,
counties, states and, in some instances',
members of congress, who have under
taken to arouse interest in corn pro
duction in their districts. Congress-
man Gordon Lee, of the seventh Geor
gia district, is the patron of a boys
corn club that has worked wonders in
northwest Georgia.
Of course, all the members of the
boys’ corn clubs and girls’ canning
clubs will not visit Washington lri
December, but all of the clubs will ue
represented by one or more members.
NEW RECORDS EXPECTED.
For the past several years a few
members of the corn clubs nave pro
duced more than 200 bushels of corn
per acre, and it is thought that, not
withstanding the drought, there will
be some new records t! is year. Many
boys have been striving to break the
record established by Jerry Moore, o;
South Carolina, who, in 1910, produced
228 3-4 bushels on one acre. In addi
tion, they expect to accomplish this
at a lower cost of production. It
seems certain several members will
get yields above 100 bushels to th o
acre." /
Farmers’ co-operative demonstration
agents of the department are making a
systematic campaign throughout the
south to show corn club boys the im
portance of legume and winter cover
crops. Hundreds of acres are being
covered with luxuriant crops of cow-
peas and soy beaqs. and more still ara
being seeded to crimson clover, fcur
clover and vetch. T e boys are plant
ing rye and oats, and are learning the
fundamental principles of proper Crop
rotation.
"If at first you don’t succeed, try,
try again,” seems to be tne spirit of
the boys contesting in the corn clubs
throughout the country. Floyd E. Fisk,
of Anderson. Mo., had hard luck witn
his prize acre of corn this year. The j
drought ruined 1 is crop, but Instead or
sending a negative report to the de
partment of agriculture, the youngster
forwarded the following:
MY CORN!
No use for a boy to look forlorn,
When it’s too dry in the Ozarks to grow
good corn,
He can feed the fodder to the goats
And throw the nubbins to the shoats.
I have done the best tnat I know how—
I used the harrow, then the plow.
I plowed it deep and close at first,
Then plowed it shallow to quench its
thirst;
But it remained as dry as dry could be.
I looked and looked and looked in
vain—
If I do ngt succeed I'll try again.
THE GIRLS’ CANNING CLUBS.
Each member of the girls’ canning
cluos has a garden of one-tenth acre
of tomatoes. She specializes on the
tomato plant for the first year, so be
fore taking up her canning work she
has acquired a good deal of knowledge
of botany and horticulture.
In most sections of the south the
girls grow other vegetables than the
tomato, and, in addition, they are en
couraged by the department’s agents to
can and preserve all the surplus fruit
and vegetables about their homes.
