The 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 ferent strains and varieties are working You will be surprised 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.

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 Boys and Girls Will Make An nual Trip to Receive Rewards for Proficiency From Secre tary of Agriculture up, his section will become famous for i used a sufficient amount of It or it niay the production of a superior strain of j be that your land does not contain enough lint and a superior seed and both prod- j vege able matter to insure a sufficient ; ucts will command a premium.

In order to encourage growth as rapidly as possible it is best to put it in with a grain drill. The land if in good order can be disked and the seed broadcasted, though we always prefer to put it in drills, as we find a more uniform stand and a more rapid growth is obtained in this way. You may use various kinds of seeders to distribute the grain, but an ordinary wheat frill so adjusted that the hoes will run relatively deep is about the most satisfactory Implement you could use. A little fertilizer will be helpful, say a formula containing 2 per cent of potash. Two hundred pounds per acre will be the minimum amount to use. KEEPING SWEFT POTATOES. W. E.

A very good way to store sweet po tatoes is as follows: Build one or more flues of lath or any other light material. It need not be over twelve 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 ter and its neglect accounts for the de cay of many hundreds of bushels of potatoes every year. in planting oats we would suggest hr,' you use about an 8-3-3 formula on -ed clay upland soils. There is no one best variety of oats, of course. The Ap pier, Rust-proof, Bancroft, Fulghuin and Virginia Gray have all given good suits In our college demonstration field. The Appier and Fulghum are probably two of the best strains to recommend for -eneral cultivation. You should seoure the best seed possible, that is, from farmer where the crop the previous ''ear was free from rust and a good yield and fine quality of grain was made. We would advise the sowing of oats imme diately, believing that early planting is ’ikely to give you the most satisfactory Bept. BM-184.

I have some that 1 expect to transplant In November. The land Is gray alluvial soil and no: very rich. I know that oions should have a lot of manure, but I do not want to use it for fearing of spreading nut grass. **“ “ heavily fertilized I find that corn with cotton seed meal fires badly, and the co ton sheds badly, therefore, hesitate to use it on Would like your advice in this and 1, onions, 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.

Mr. Brown did similar service under Governor Brown and the result was that Chatham county paid more near-beer licenses than any other coun ty in the state. Mr. Brown is going to get after those who are said to manufacture whisky in Savannah. He says there Is a lot of the stuff made and sold here. He also makes the sensational statement that Chatha mcounty sends more crazy peo ple to the state insane asylum than all the other counties in the state com bined. He says Attorney General Felder showed him the figures to sub stantiate this statement. “And all this insanity is caused by the mean poison liquor that is sold in Savannah,” says Mr. Brown. "It is turned out here by the barrel, and the kind of "stuff that is sold will make a man lose his brains if he just sticks to it long enough.

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. Inousands of cans of peaches, ber ries and beans are in pantries in the south, where none existed a few years ago, as the result of work of enterpu*- Ing girls. Large quantities of product, are also marketed by the members. An agent of the department has made a report showing one girl sold the fol lowing, after filling the household pan try with sufficient to last throughout the winter: fig and peach preserves, sweet peach pickles, ginger pears, spiced grapes, small white onions pickled, stuffed peppers, tomatoes, corn and okra for soup, canned tomatoes, peaches, blackberries, and grape, black berry and apply jelly. The department has reports from agents showing splendid progress has been made in growing tomatoes that in some instances six dozen have been grown on one plant, and in several cases more than a ton to the tenth- acre.
