Genius is the gift of the «oda. and only once in a generation does the lightinng cf success center in an 'ndividual, An army without leaders is helpless; an industry without a skilled and astute director i3 helpless, A bank without a skilled financier to di rect it will certainly fail. How can the farmer hope to succeed without .eadership? The history of the world shows this is impossible, and because of our confident feeling in our individual prowess as a nation, we witness 'today in America a certain degree of decad ence along agricultural lines. It is not so easy to produce large and bountiful crops as in the past, and our soils do not respond so readily to the plow and the use of fertilizers. The rich gifts of nature have been exploited or wasted tnd man is now dependent on his own ndividual effort to win a livelihood ’icm the soil. Should he bring to his aid, therefore, all the helps which the state and the nation provide, or is it ieal for him to ignore these? There is no such thing as standing stilt in the world. Nations like indi viduals move forward or backward. Growth is a constant and uniform thing. Atrophy is a malignant disease. As a nation of farmers, we must there fore move forward uniformly or fall steadily behind. In Georgia the farm er has to contend with smut in oats, a disease which lias proven very destruc tive t° this crop, yet for ati outlay of ; a few cents he may treat his oats with ^crmalin and prevent an enormous waste. This gift of practical knowl- j edge is brought to the aid of the farm er by the work of the scientists con- j nected with our colleges of agriculture and experiment stations. All truth’ in its last analysis is simplified so that it can be applied to the advancement of human art and industry. When the farmer meets with ari obstacle to pro gress in the cultivation of a crop, the management of his soil, the feeding and care of his livestock, the protection of his orchards from insects and fungous diseases, he may be sure that some where nature offers an antedote for his troubles. How shall he discover it? Can he take his time as an individual .and give years of effort and concen trated attention to the study of this subject? Only in the rarest cases is this possible. The state and the na- j tlon must provide the savant to learn I the history of these troubles and pro vide the remedies by which they may I be overcome. It would seem, therefore, that the : wise farmer would take advantage of every effort which the workers in the colleges and stations may bring to his attention; that he would read the best books and papers; that he would go to institutions such as the state provides whenever possible and learn through the special courses of instruction offer ed how to meet the .difficulties which confront him as a farmer. In order j that these ends may be accomplished at i a minimum of cost and in the simplest i and most practical manner possible, the i State C6Uege of Agriculture has pro- I vided short courses for the farmers o? | Geogia commencing on January 5 and i last for ten days. They come at a sea- i son of the year when the farmer is not j busy; when he can best afford to be I away from heme for a short time. They i afford him an opportunity to refresh ! his mind by coming in contact with leaders of thought along agricultural lines and by learning from the expe riences , of his friends and neighbors who may be attending these courses. They provide special instruction along the varied lines involved in a knowledge of cotton industries, cereal production, livestock production and horticulture. In order that the visioh and purpose of the boys and girls may be increased, special courses have been provided for those who have shown themselves worthy of advanced training by reason "f the standing attained in the corn and canning clubs contests held in the sev eral counties of the state. No subject of practical value tp Georgia farmers is overlooked In these courses, yet all the discussions are presented in the most simplified form bv skilled teachers who have traveled widely in the state and acquainted themselves with the condi tions which the farmer* have to meet and overcome. Would it not be worth while for the fanner to learn how to decrease the huvin* cost and increase the selling price "f farm produce? And this is possible, farmers who have taken the short courses nt Athens have demonstrated the truth of this statement. The farmer who wants to raise more grain can learn how to do so. If he desires to nave the money he now spends for hav which he can produce at home to better ad vantage. why pot. learn what the col- ’eye is doing in its demonstration field with regard to the production of various *' f *w and interesting forage crops adapt ed to Georgia conditions? The man who wants to know how to rai«e live stock ^ust find out how to free his land from h*ks. feed Mf cattle more intelligently. sell to better advantage. On everv -'rm in Georgia some beef cattle should » maintained. There is waste land 'ailable for this purpose. The college sold two-year-old steers for $80 niece which were raised on waste land ”ch ox nearlv every farmer has. Why °fc take up this new line of industry hich means so much to the state? To o so one must first learn how. and that ? Why short courses in live stock pro- ’ction are offered by the college each inter. The man who wonts to engage in -1111 growing or trucking will find here ’eflnite information on how to select ’a seed, plant his crop, fertilize it, and 'T*otect it from insect pests. He can ave enough on one season’s crop to "ore than pav for his course. Georgia ■'irrnerg ’spend $25,000,000 a year for fertilizers. Are these commercial plant foods adapted to the soil* on which thev *'*re used? Are they applied in the right proportions to crons? Are thev used so “s to combat rust successfully,, or to supply the unusual deficiency which ■’’ay exist in certain soils with regard to Phosphorus. potash and nitrogen, or are thev applied in a somewhat haphazard fashion? Farmers -who expect to spend several hundred dollars a year for fertil- *zers should atndv their soils and know ♦heir type, the defects which are likely to characterize them, and how to over come these through properly balancing n.p thji food supply of the soil. The courses at the college are designed to -vrovide this information at a minimum of rorst. It has been shown, for in stance, that several varieties of oats grown side by side may show a variation In yield of sixteen to thirteen bushels, an acre. Which kind are you growing, Mr. Farmer, or have you ever thought about the importance of seed selection? Why not come up to the tallege this winter and learn something about mat ters of this kind? Remember that these courses arc* de signed especially for farmers and farm ers’ boys who are sixteen years of ago and over. There are 133 lectures and forty demonstrations given during the course in question. No examinations for entrance are required and no tuition fees are charged save a registration fee of $1. The lectueis offered in the short course are presented in summar ized form so the person attending may carry the data home for future refer ence. The college of agriculture is a state institution supported out of the public treasury. It is your Institution, Mr. Farmer, and it is endeavoring to serve you in every possible way. It is providing practical courses or instruc tion of the greatest value to you as an individual farmer. Why not come and take advantage of the golden opportu nities it offers you for advancement? It can aid you in the solution of many of your most - vexing problems. It will be the means of enlarging your vision It will bring you in touch with the agri cultural leaders of. the state. It will teach you where to find information of vital concern. It will help you to un derstand the fundamental relation of science to successful farm practice and the cost in view of the advantages you will gain will be practically nothing. You can not afford to miss the chance which the state offers you through the agency of tho State College of Agri culture to acquire new knowledge, and hence a consequent new power for ad vancement and development in your chosen vocation. Emerson, the greatest American essayist, has said: “The first farmer was the first man, and all nobil ity rests on the possession and use of land,” No doubt if he had lived until the present generation, he would change the sentiment thus expressed by the insertion ol‘ the word “intelligent” use of land. Successful farming is no longer a matter of brawn and muscle, but rather Mepondc on the ability to understand and appreciate the funda* mental truths of nature so long hidden from the world,, but Which science has revealed in so simple .and clear-cut n form that, their correct interpretation is row comparatively simple. The wist farmer like the good business man will therefore fortify himself with all the special knowledge which he can obtain and in so doing will reap the measure of success which a kindly Providence in tended him to enjoy. * * « TEXAS, OR TICK, FEVER. T. F. Y., Soarboro,, Oft., writes: I have recently lost four fine oxen said by the people here to be caused by bloody murrain. I have een working them for several vveekn feeding meal end hulls exclusively. They were brought from Jefferson* tfxmnty six weeks ago. They Tmv«T fever and live from six ,Un nznt-fy hours after taken. I would like to know what you think is the trouble and what you would suggest us a remedy. Your oxeji are evidently suffering from what is known us tick, or Texas, fever. This i» produced by the Infesta tion of the animal with a specific spe cies of tick known as margaropus annu- latus. The symptoms given in you • letter are characteristic of the deaths caused by Texas fever due to the in festation of the animals with ticks;. The only chance you have of protecting your animals from further loss is to geo that they are kept fren from this pest. It would appear that the an imals when bought by you were in tick-free or uninfested territory, ana when carried to your section of the state they became more or less heavily infested with ticks, with the result that they have succumbed ‘to Texas, oi tick, fever. We would advise that you place your animals in a dry. bare lot, ? where yon know cattle have not been kept for some months, and feed them there. Sec that* they are curried thoroughly ever} morning and that all ticks are removed. It is very Important that you examine all parts of the body, and especially those parts not readily vlsnue to tho eye, for it is in just such places that the ticks are likely to secrete them selves, and it will take but a slight in- Faron leases should encourage the long time occupancy of farms and the feeding of more livestock. A bettor sys tem of tenant farming brought about j by longer leases and the encourage ment to feed livestock, instead of grow ing grain crops for market would be a mighty factor in rural improvement, j Prof. Bailey says that a weed is noth- ! ing more or less than a plant that Ip not wanted. Com is a weed in a pota to field and rye la a weed in the buck wheat field. Dandelions are common ly called weeds and yet in many gardens they are grown for greens and are crops, not weeds. Cattie should not be allowed to drink • from old ponds which happen to con- j tain enough water. You cannot get good milk or butter from dirty pond| water. If your hogs have had plenty of clo ver they$ will not iffeed much corn to make them simply fine. They can just about get their living on clover and a good living, too. A common mistake is to attempt to make beef from dairy bred steers. .Select the largest, most perfectly bpiit sows for breeding purposes. These are usually the ones we sell just because they will bring a dollar or two more. A rusty milk can is an ideal nesting place for bacteria. Scalding water will not reach all of the little places where they hide and multiply. 10-CENT “CASCARETS” IS TOUR LAXATIVE Best liver and bowel cleanser and stomach regulator known Get a 10-cent box.

To simply scrape them off and let them drop down in the lot, where they can reinfeat the an imals would not be worth while. A good many people doubt the existence or ■tick fever, because there are various ticks which sometimes get on cattle, and this is confusing to the layman, but your experience proves to you that .it does exist, and if you are to protect your animals from destruction, you must see that the ticks are kept off of them. Where a man has only a few animals to handle, hand dressing such as we have suggested is advtsaoic. We would also recommend that you use on your oxen, applying by means of a nrush or sponge, such substances as crude pe troleum or cotton seed oil and kero sene in equal parts. These are quite effective tlckicides and not costly or difficult to apply, provided you have a competent foreman or else superin tend the work yourself. If left to in different or careless laborers, they are liable to let some ticks escape, and in apite of your supposed precautions your animals will succdmb to this disease. Where one has a large number of an imals to handle, spraying or dipping is advisable. Wo would suggest that you vary the ration fed your cattle and use some gfeen feed whenever practicable. It would be well to substitute corn men or corn and cob meal in place of the exclusive ration of cotton seed meat. Very heavy feeding of cotton seed meai to work animals is not advisable, in that you may surfeit the system with nitrogen. The combination ration of hulls, cotton seed meal, corn meal and green feed will be found ideal. * 3 # treatment of string halt. L. C\, Trento:*, On., writes: I have a filly one year old that lias the utrlnghftlt. Any help that you van give tne will be appreciated. In the majority of cases medicinal treatment is of no benefit in treating a well-pronounced case of stringhalt. This trouble generally becomes more aggravated as the animal becomes old er. One of the {jest things you can do in a case of this character is to sup ply the animal with an abundance of easily digested food. Give as much va riety as possible. A mixture of oata, cotton seed meal and bran will bo found helpful. A tableepoonful of a mixture of common salt, i ounces, sul phur, 2 ounces, and hard wood ashds. 2 ounces given three times a day will sometimes be found serviceable. Fow ler’s - solution may be used at times with advantage. Do not give over a half ounce dose in the feed daily. Grad ually increase by one-quarter ounce at a time until one ounce is given at a dose in the morning and the same at night. This treatment should not be continued for more than two weeks, then withheld and repeated. In some in stances cutting the lateral extensor be low the hock joint gives permanent re lief to horses. This is not a danger ous operation, but should only be per formed by n competent veterinarian. f • * CAKED UDDER. J. W. YV\, Dadovtlle, Ala., writes*. I have a f-.ne cow with a calf n’ne days old. When she brought the calf before this one her udder wan swollen very large and then formed a cake in one «f her teats. J did alj I knew bow to do but It did not go away. I thought per ha ns it would t>« better after tlris calf but It U not. She *ti]l given some milk out of it but not much- Would like to know if there is anything 1 can do for my cow? The trouble about, which you inquire has now no doubt become of a chronic character. The udder frequently cakes and treatment should be commenced im mediately and the inflammation reduced by fomenting for twetnv minutes with warm water. Tho uocer should then be rubbed dry and after that some ointment applied which will tend U .soften it and reduce the fevered condi tion. One Of the best liniments you can use for this purpose may be pre pared by mixing together two ounces of ladanum, one ounce of tincture ot aconite and five ounces of tincture of ment. This lotion will not blister. We do not think there iu much hope of restoring the udder to its normal con dition as the trouble is of such long standing, but careful, thorough and per sistent milking and the treatment sug gested will be as likely to be of serv ice as any suggestions we can offer at the present time. VC* CONTROLLING SMUT IN OATS. G. W. H., MiUedgerUle. Ga., writi-a: I would like to know the bent method of de- stroy’ng smut In oats.

AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS AROUND THE PANAMA CANAL Smut in oats may be successfully pre vented either by what is known as the hot weather treatment or the formalin treatment. Where formalin i* used the «ee<i may be sprinkled or immersed for thirty minutes in a solution of one pint of formalin, that is, a 40 per cent solu tion of formaldehyde, to fifty gallons of water. When this treatment is followed. It is important that the seed first be stirred thoroughly into a tub of cold wa ter and the smut balls rising t,o the sur face skimmed off. Then treat with for malin and spread out to dry. A little flaked lime may be used to hasten this nrocess but this is not essential. If you find it preferable you may treat, vour oats for smut with hot water. This is accomplished by placing the seed in i bag or basket which will readily admit water. Then immerse it completely for f en minutes in water at a temperature of 133 degrees F. It is important that the temperature of the water be .exactly right. After treatment cool quickly by Immersing in cold water and spread out to dry. (BY H. H. ben$:ttt.) The climate of the canal zone is humid and typically tropical. With a very nar row annual range in temperature, but with marked contrasts in quantity or rainfall, the seasons are aptly divided into dr y and rainy. The dry season prop er begins usually about tho midle of De cember, al:hough there are occasionally considerable variations from this. Fairly heavy precipitation sometimes occurs 1 In the dry season, particularly on the At lantic slope. Normally the season is characterized by cloudless skies, constant winds, and such scanty rainfall that many crops which make steady growth throughout the rainy months hasten to maturity, practically cease to grow, .or are com pletely parched unless irrigated. The prevailing type of corn planted about December 1, usually matures the latter part of February. Nortnern vegetables are unable to survive the dry season, but certain tropical species and many tropical fruits are uninjured or only slightly re tarded in growth. Many' trees shed their leaves at this time of the year, which corresponds to winter or. the dormant season of plants in temperate zones. The growth of vegetation during the rainy season Is phenomenal. An aban doned or untended clearing is quickly covered with a dense tangle of rapidly growing plants, while unseasoned fence posts cut from soft wood -trees, driven into the ground, take root and soon pro duce trees. Many northern flowers ane vegetables are forced by the warm, hu mid climate into wood and leaf growth at the expense of blossoms and fruit. Cow- peas and cucumbers fruit fairly well throughout the rainy season, as do also a number of other vegetables. Most of the indigenous plants make the scant supply of moisture attendant on the rapid drying out of soils in the dry season. Owing to the great sur face inequality of the country and the imperviousness of the clayey soils, run-off is extremely rapid. With a few days of sunshine exposed soils dry out i sufficiently to cause excessive baking 1 and cracking. When land is to be broken by plowing, advantage should | be taken of the first favorable weather | during the latter part of the wet season, due care being taken in all cases that the soil is in proper condition with respect to moisture, that is, not soggy , or sticky. 1 Among the important temperate zone vegetables that have been more or less successfully grown are cucum bers, eggplants, lettuce, beans, cow- peas, radishes, carrots, peppers an«i pumpkins. in fact there is little reason to doubt that with knowledge gained through systematic experi mentation a sufficient supply of vege tables will be produced to replace, in a large measure, the canned and cold- storage products at present consume' by the white inhabitants. It is tru* that many obstacles will be on- countered in the establishment of a agriculture upon a modern busine«.‘ like basis, and much remains to be de termined through exoerl mentation, es pecially as to manurial treatment an as to the best varieties of native am’ foreign plants. 16 HOSIERY GIVEN AWAY I us your name * Mist;) and post PAIR fcftKffcr. . . office address, plainly written, and we will forward you post paid, by mall (Parcel Post) Six teen handsome Gold Deco rated Boxes of our world fam ous Healing and Complexion Cold Cream to dispose of among frie ds at 25 cents a OOX.
