Northeast Georgia promises at no dis
tant date to become one of the wealth
iest and most important sections of the
state. The reasons for this are n.ot
far to seek. The elevation of the coun
try over very considerable areas ap
proximates 2,000 feet above sea level
and upwards. This assures at the very
outset a most delightful and excellent
climate, affording favorable conditions
for the production of a wide range of
farm crops and fruits as well. The gen
eral topography of northeast Georgia is
most attractive. The elevations are
such that protected locations for orch
arding can easily be found, and as a
matter of fact, it is a distinct advantage
to have valleys lying at the foot of the
varied eminences because this affords
the best possible protection against
frost.- Frost, as all know, is a constant
nightmare to the fruit grower, but if
hr can find a location where the air
drainage is what it should be, then he
is almost certain to produce a fair crop
every year, and it is this fact which
gives to north Georgia one of its pri
mary advantages as an apple-growing
section. *
Another very great advantage found
In the elevations characteristic of
northeast Georgia is that while the
days are warm, the nights are general
ly cool. This favors the production Of
an apple not only of high flavor and
good keeping quality, but of fine color as
well. Where one has an elevated table
land or plateau on which to plant an
orchard, the natural drainage is gener
ally favorable, and the need of artificial
tiling and its consequent expense may
generally be obviated. In northeast
Georgia the rainfall is generous and
well distributed. Drouths are not com
mon, and thus the fruit of the apple
tree is afforded an abundant and uni
form supply of moisture to enable it to
mature to the best advantage. The
land is quite uniform, more so in fact
than in many other sections of the
state. The soi\ fbr the moet part is
a red loam with sufficient clay to make
the top soil relatively easy to cultivate
and of sufficient depth to be highly pro
ductive. The subsoil is much like the
top soil, although there is some gra-vel
and silica present. The texture of the
soil is suCh that it retains moisture
advantageously, and yet yields up a
fairly abundant supply of plant food for
the growth of trees and the maturity of
such fruit as they may bear. On ac
count of the soils not having been so
extensively cultivated, many of the best
areas adapted for orchard purposes con
tain a fair supply of humus.
It is remarkable that a country known
to produce apples of such fine quality
for so many years should have been so
long overlooked, but the tide of immi
gration which came up the eastern slope
of the Allegheny mountains seems to
have overlooked the natural advantages
of this section of the country and to
have swept ever westward in the hope
of obtaining more virgin soils and free
homesteads from the bounty of the na
tional government. Apples have been
giown in northeast Georgia with con
siderable success for many years. Mod
ern methods of cultivation have only
been adopted recently, however, and it
is only in the last few years, compara
tively speaking, that a the wonderful po
tentialities of the soil for apple grow
ing have come to be fully realized. Evea
now the industry is in its infancy. The
writer has had an opportunity to visit
nearly all sections of the United States
and Canada and is quite familiar with
the better known apple-growing regions
of this vast territory, and it is there
fore possible to speak with some au
thority of the natural advantages of the
section under discussion and the fine
opportunity it affords for investment in
the immediate future. Certainly, this
area enjoys many advantages which the
so-called Hood river valley and other
famous apple-growing sections of the
west do not possess.
First of all, apples of equal flavor
and of as fine keeping quality and
color can be produced in northern Geor
gia as anywhere else on the continent.
The natural conditions, as already cited,
are all extremely favorable to Vhe pro
duction of this fruit. The choicest of
the varieties find here a natural home.
Diseases are not a serious menace to
the orchard industry, and those that
are troublesome can be as easily and
completely controlled here as elsewhere.
Apples placed on an express car to
night will be in the large consuming
centers of the United States within
twelve to twenty-four hours. The eleva
tion is such that apples may be suc
cessfully stored in properly constructed
houses and placed on the market as
needed. No section, therefore, enjoys
greater advantages than northeast Geor
gia.
Among the varieties which do well

a great business industry which may
be built up to the material advantage
of the state* and the owners of the
lands.
The natural advantages of this coun
try were forcibly called to the attention
of the writer during a recent visit to
the Habersham County fair at Clarkes-
ville, where many of the varieties of
apples enumerated above were oh ex
hibit. This fair was organized through
the co-operation of the Clarkesville board
of trade and the Ninth District Ag
ricultural school in charge of Prof. M.
C. Gay. The fair wag a credit to the
county and the community and shows
that the people of this part of the state
are fast coming to realize the splendid
opportunities which their section af
fords. Not only is this area well
adapted to the production of apples, but
to sweet and Irish potatoes and the
raising of live stock. Many excellent
samples of corn were on exhibition. In
fact, some of the finest and whitest
corn which the writer has seen in re
cent years was shown at this fair. It
was a pleasure to be permitted to speak,
not only to the citizens of Habersham
county, but * to the students of the
Ninth District school as well.
This intelligent and capable lot of
boys and girls are filled with a com
mendable ambition to excel and they
will presently go out from this insti
tution into the various walks of life
and make a mark for themselves. Sev
eral of the young men from this section
who have come to the college of agri
culture are making an enviable record,
and one or two who have recently grad

CULTIVATING ALFALFA IN GEOR
GIA.
E. M. H., Thomson, (la., writes: I would
like to know what has been your experi
ence in the cultivation of lfalfa; also
what do you know of the giant pod stock
bean?
We have had fairly good results from
the cultivation of alfalfa on limited areas
of land in the college demonstration
field. This crop was cut five times dur
ing the past summer, and where the
land was limed, inoculated, subsoiled and
thoroughly prepared, the yield was 6.48
tons per acre of cured hay. Where the
soil was not inoculated the yield was 3.44
tons. This land was prepared for alfalfa
by plowing under a crop of cowpeas and
a crop of oats and vetch. Six tons of
yard manure were applied to each of these
crops making twelve tons In all in two
years. A ton of caustic lime was ap
plied and 500 pounds of a 10-3-4 fertilizer.
'a Lie seed was inoculated and was sown at
the rate of twenty pounds per acre,
American grown seed being used for this
purpose. The seed was carefully dis
tributed oveer the ground with a seeder
and then worked in with a wheeled weea-
er. The alfalfa looks very good at the
present writing. Of c-urse, to maintain
yields of this character very liberal fer-
ailization will be necessary, and in order
to secure a good stand ft will be necessa
ry to prepare the land carefully. We
think the use of lime and inoculating ma
terial essential. We believe an abundant
supply of vegetable matter must be in
corporated through turning under green
crops or the. use of yard manure. Nat
urally, phosphorus and potash must be
supplied in considerable quantities bo a
crop which draws so freely on these par
ticular elements. Alfalfa is best seeded
early in the fall, and on lands which are
not in the best physical condition, it can
sometimes be sown in drills a foot apart
to bettef advantage than broadcasted.
Where this is done light surface cultva-
tion may be followed and weeds anct
grass kept in' check.
We have not grown the bean to whicn
you refer as a commercial proposition,
and would not care to advise you defi
nitely concerning 4 it as yet. We are in
clined to think there are crops which
promise more and which we know can be
grown with certainty. We would advise
the use of this bean only in a limited
and experimental may until its value for
the purpose in question has been fully
and completely established.
* * *
A GOOD COTTON FORMULA.
S. W. B., Besaea, Ga.. writes: I am
thinking of using 00 pounds of fertilizer
under tny next year’s cotton crop nd am
going to use 200 pounds of 10-4 acid and
200 pounds of 10-2-4, and want to bed on
200 pounds and put 200 pounds in with
the seed Which would giv* the best re
sults in the bottom of the furrow?
Personally, if only one application of
nitrogen is to be made, we believe it
would be preferable to put it on at the
second application rather than at the
first because the freezes of winter and
the activities of baqterial life in the
soil have probably transformed some of
this element into a condition which will
enable the plants to utilize it shortly
after they start growth. We would
prefer, however, to use some organic
nitrogen in the ground at the first ap
plication, and think you would not
make a mistake in using a 10-2-4 at
that time. Then on making the r second
application, we would prefer to increase
the nitrogen to 3 or even 4 per cent.
Of course, when a complete fertilizer
is used as a side application, it should
be put on relatively early, and in that
event we would be inclined to apply
nitrogen both under the drill row or
inside applications In an organic form
since few forms or notrogen applied to
the soil do not become available within
a period of seventy to eighty days. This
you Will s.ee should give the nitrogen
ample time in which to serve the needs
of a crop of cotton which has, rela
tively speaking, a long growing period.

FINE GRASSES FOR HAY AND
PASTURE.
.. M. S. C., Dalton. Ga., writes: I would
like some information concerning the
growth of vetch in north Georgia. Is it
too late to sow crimson clover? Will broom

of live stock ns when grazed off? Would
like Borne Information in regard to the vari

for hay.
growth in the fall so you must not be
disappointed if there is not much
gicwth until the spring opens up.
We think it late for planting crimson
clover. Of course, in a good open sea
son it will come along all right at
times, but many stands are lost from
deferring the seeding until this late
date.
Broom sedge when grazed so as to
keep it young and tender is fairly nu
tritious. The writer knows of some
pastures which have been set in broom
sedge and have been used for compara
tively-long periods of time with suc
cess. Of course, one would not place
it in the same class as some of the
native grasses, but where one has noth
ing else and manages it properly, a con
siderable amount of grazing may be
obtained even from broom sedge.
A number of native grasses may be
grown with success in Georgia. In this
class would be included Bermuda, red
top, orchard grass, tall oat grass, tim-
othey and pas pal um dilatatum. Omong
the clovers would come Japan or Lespe-
deza, bur, alsike, white and red. Crimson
clover would not be siutable for a per
manent pasture. These varieties of
grasses and clovers do not vary mate
rially in their nutritive qualities. Of
course, some are better adapted for hay
making than others and then all vary
in their adaptability to certain soils and
localities. Timothy and red top will do
best on moist, low bottom lands; or
chard grass under semi-arid conditions:
Bermuda grass on open spaces. ’The
clovers do best on soils either naturally
or artificially supplied with lime. One
can easily have good pastures in Geor
gia for the production of hay or graz
ing, and as we diversify our agriculture
and increase our interest in live stock
production, greater emphasis must be
laid on the production of grasses for
pasture and hay.

One thing which is troubling: you in
the management of your land is its de
ficiency in vegetable matter, and this
can only be overcome through dividing
your farm up so as to institute a crop
rotation system, and in certain years
grow legumes during the summer and
cover crops during the winter. This
enables you to not only prevent erotion
but to build up the plant food supply
of your soil and to improve its physical
and mechanical condition. Wc would
advise on this land the use of at least
one ton of pulverized rock per acre. It
may be applied in the early spring to
land intended for cotton and corn. If
you can secure any leaves or compost
put them on the land, or if you have
yard manure so much the better. We
would put frof two to five tons of com
post under the drill row on every acre
of this land. Use at the same time a
plant food formula containing about 9
per dent of phosphoric acid, 3 per cent
of nitrogen and 4 per cent of potash.
Use this formula at the rate of 300
pounds when the crop is planted and
200 pounds as a side application
thirty days to six Weeks after plant
ing, depending a good deal on seasonal
conditions and the growth made by the
crop. The plowing and subsoiling of
the land this fall would be advisable
in the hope that you may break up the
hard pan to which you refer. Now is a
good time to do the work when the
ground is comparatively dry. Subsoil
ing should not be done in the spring
or when the land is wet.

DISTEMPER IN DOGS.
E. Z. B., Wallace, Ala., writes: I save
a bird puppy about eight months old and
she cannot walk any distance us she gets
down in her back. Would like to know
wbat to do for her.
The Spring
Trouble Makers
Very often the first pests in the field In
spring are the ones that are most to be
feared. With many species of- destruc
tive insects, the over-wintering individ
uals come out with the first warm weath
er and lay eggs for a host of destructive
progeny later. One adult less in the
fall may mean 500 descendants out of the
way.
Late plowing will do the work. It does
not follow that it is always feasible or
possible to fall plow all fields that have
suffered from the ravages of insect pests.
Weather conditions or the demands or
crop rotation sometimes make it out ot
the question. But if it can be done, there
is a great deal to be gained by it.

it is quite likely that your deg is
suffering from distemper which is a
contagious catarrhal fever thought to
be induced by a germ. Pure-bred pup
pies are more subject to it than other
classes of dogs. This trouble gener
ally comes on with^ a chill followed
by high fever and * generally a rash
breaks out on the inside of the thighs,
and often nervous symptoms are exhib
ited, such as jerking of the head and
twitching of the muscles. Constipation
sometimes occurs and the animal is
greatly prostrated. Medical treatment
is of little value. All effort should be
directed towards keeping the animal
comfortable. Castor oil in half-ounce
dos~s with two or three grains of boric
acid should be given every six hours
until the bowels are- moved. Follow
with two-grain doses of quinine twice
daily. If there is an accumulation of
mucous about thte mouth, nose and eyes
wash out with warm water three time*
daily. Keep the eyes and nose greased
with vaseline. Give the dog sweet
milk, beef tea, raw eggs and gruels,
and allow what cold water he wants
to drink. Dried blood in one-half tea
spoonful doses three times daily is
helpful. Paralysis is often an accom
paniment of this disease especially in
the later stages. The quarters inhab
ited by the dog should be thoroughly
disinfected and exposed Jo the sun. If
this treatment does not effect a cure,
we can offer no other suggestions
which are likely to be of service.

FIFTH SON OF FAMILY
MEETS VIOLENT DEATH
(By Associated Press.)
ELKINS, W. Ya., Nov. 20.—Continu
ing a series of tragedies that already
has resulted in the deaths of four sons
of William Talbot, of St. George, Tucker
county, Roy Talbot, twenty-four years
old, died in his home last night from
a gunshot wound in the heart acci
dentally inflicted by his younger broth
er, Blaine Talbot. The young men were
hunting wild turkeys when Blaine fired
the shot, having mistaken his brother
for a turkey.
Many pests may be subdued, partially
at least, by this operation. The corn root
louse is one of these. It is a tiny, soft-
bodied, fragile creature and depends for
its existence on the care given it by the
little black or brown ants always found
with it. Late plowing breaks up the
nests of the ants at a time when they
are slugglst and unable to gather to
gether again. The colonies of lice, left
without their keepers, can not survive
the winter.
Wireworms and white grubs spend the
winter in the ground. The former are
slender, cylindrical worms, yellowish or
brownish in color, tough and wlry-look-
ing. The latter are white and thick-bod
ied with one end somewhat dark and
swollen. Cutworms winter in the soil a«
half-grown worms. Wireworms are also
beneath the surface of the soil during
the winter season. Grasshoppers are in
the egg-shaped masses, an inch or so be
low the surface. In the garden the
squash borer is in a silk cocoon in tut*,
soil. All of these and many other in
sects, are disturbed by late plowing, bur
ied deep or left upon the surface for
birds to find or frosts to kill.
FARM NOTES
If all the cracks in the barns and
sheds where your stock is have been
well stopped up to keep out the wind
and cold, when sitting before the front
room stove this winter, your comfort
will be all the greater.
It is better to sow alfalfa late rather
than early in the spring. .On well-
prepared land not more than six pounds
of good seed properly sown will be
called for per acre.
If the country boy knew fully about

Hairy vetch can probably be sown
even at this late date in north Georgia
and pass through the winter all right.
We would prefer to plant this crop
much earlier, however, and when sown
this late it should be put in with spe
cial skill and care. The land should be
well prepared and the vetch seeded
either alone or with oats. Where oats
are seeded use one bushel with twenty
pounds of vetch seed. If the vetch is
sown by itself, we think nearly a bushel
of seed per acre must be used. In that
event we would plant it l/i drills about
twelve inches apart. The hairy vetch,
as you probably know, makes very little
