WHAT THE COLLEGE OF
AGRICULTURE IS DOING
This question is frequently propounded 1
to the writer, and it seems well that
all who are interested in Georgia’s agri
cultural development should be as
thoroughly acquainted as possible with
the workings of an institution designed
to give leadership along this line.
In the first place, the primary work
of such an institution is that of train
ing the young men who report to it for
instruction in the scientific principles
involved in the proper organization and
direction of the workjof our farms. The
teaching must, however, not be confined
to the problems of rural life alone, but
to the development of men who can
carry on investigations and thus add to
our quota of knowledge. Teachers must
be developed and rural workers provided
In sufficient numbers ,to enable the w T ork
of disseminating agricultural knowledge,
to be carried on successfully. The at
tendance on the college of agriculture
is very gratifying. The student body is
a ’representative one drawn from all
parts of the state and from all walks
of life. The growth in appeciation of
the courses of instruction has been quite
remarkable. Some forty men have re
ceived the degree of bachelor of science
in agriculture in the past six years, and j
fortunately for Georgia practically all
of these men are at work within the
borders^ of the state. The present senior
class numbering twenty give some idea
of the keen interest which the young
men of the state are showing in farm
development work. The graduates of the
college are at present engaged as farm
of primary importance to the people of
a given community. Thus, the circle
of agricultural development is com
pleted with the colege as a center.

agents, teachers in agricultural high
schools, ootton and corn breeders, live
stock farmers, editors of agricultural
papers, and industrial representative^- of
various organizations which are engaged
in promoting the development of agri
culture along wise and constructive lines.
The courses offered in the college are
therefore varied in their nature and
comprehensive in their scope. Evidently
they must be efficient or such recent
graduates could not have made suen
a* reputation for themselves in so short
a time. While Georgia needs many more
leaders along agricultural lines than she
has at the present, public sentiment and
the inclination of the young men, as
shown by their preference for agricul
tural courses, would indicate that this
demand will be supplied at no distant
date. That the institution is at present,
and is destined more completely in the
future to affect the economic welfare
of the state must be admitted by all
who have acquainted themselves with
the work of the graduates and the na
ture and scope of the courses of train
ing offered at Athens.
But this is only one phase of the
manifold service which the institution
ir« rendering the state. Through its ex
tension department it is promoting in
co-operation with the bureau of soils in
a number of counties physical surveys
of the land areas. In other words, the
type soils- have all been identified, plat
ted and mapped, and bulletins prepared
for the information and guidance of the
farmers. Independent of the bureau of
soils, the department of agricultural
chemistry is making a chemical analy
sis of all the soil types in the several
counties, and as fast as the work is
completed is preparing bulletins accom
panied by colored maps giving informa
tion relative to the composition and
deficiencies of the several soil types
and how they may be improved most
economically for agricultural purposes,
j rfurelj'. no work of a more fundamental
' character than this can be carried for
ward by any institution.
The department of agronomy is oper
ating a large series of test plats in
* ' arious parts of the state. These cover
I from three to five acres each. On these
plats data relative to crop rotations and
! «-he use of fertilizers is being accumu-
I kited. This work is of fundamental
i value for the people of Georgia have
| learned through it already that lime
I applied to legumes will proye beneficial.
This department also conducts at Ath
ens a twenty-acre experimental field in
which a large number of questions are
asked the soil. For instance, it has
been shown that 6.5 tons of alfalfa may
be produced per acre under certain con
ditions of management. whereas, where
these principles are not followed the
results of sowing this crip are likely
to be uncertain and in many instances
the farmer will fail altogether.
The department of animal .husbandry
is engaged in making demonstrations
with reference to beef and dairy produc
tion and disseminating this information
throughout the state.. The field worker
m dairying is building silos and super
vising the erection of modern farm
barns. Another worker has aided in
j the purchase and dissemination of pure-
I bred live stock, particularly Percheron
| horses. Encouragement is being given
to the swine industry, especially the
production of pork on grazing crops, and
thus variety and efficiency in the pro
duction of live stock in Georgia is be
ing brought about.
The department of horticulture is con
ducting tests to determine how qertain
diseases of pecans may be overcome
pecan and apple orchards in Georgia,
cessful production of truck crops. The
This department is also studying im
portant questions relative to the suc-
iind the best method of fertilizing peach,
results now being secured will be of
great value to Georgia fruit and truck
growers.
The department of veterinary medi
cine is manufacturing and distributing
hog cholera serum through the agency
of the state veterinarian’s o^e in At
lanta. This serum is now being pro
duced at 1.5 cents per c. c., thus making
it possible for the farmers to protect
their hogs from this dread disease at
a minimum of cost. The service along
this line is very efficient and satisfac
tory.
The department of farm mechanics is
aiding the farmers through offering ad
vice relative to the erection of farm
! buildings.
The department of poultry industry
is not only conducting a farm demon
stration poultry yard, but is aiding the
farmers through correspondence in rec
tifying many mistakes and in discov
ering those breeds of poultry best
adapted for use on the average farm in
Georgia. The campaign for the produc
tion of a standard quality of eggs is
bearing fruit of great importance to the
poultry Industry.
The college also co-operates in mak
ing displays at the leading fairs held
throughout the state. The educational
features * of this work have been com
mended by all who have seen these ex
hibits. Moreover, the institution is re
sponsible in co-operation with the bu-
| reau of plant industry of the United
States department of agriculture for the
organization and maintenance of the
boys’ and girls’ clubs which have made
an economic impress on the state of
Georgia of the first magnitude. The
exhibits made by the boys and girls
this fall at the county and district fairs
fully justify this statement, and show
that the teachers, he boards of educa-
ion, chambers of commerce and every
agency which has had an active hand
in the promotion and maintenance of
this work rendered efficient service and
realize most thoroughly the importance
of the results being attained along this
; line.
The farm demonstration work is also
carried on co-operatively by the various
agencies enumerated. This work is be-
| ginning to make a permanent impress
i on Georgia’s agriculture as shown by
I the results obtained on the lands of
, adult farmers who have been somewhat
! skeptical as to the value of new princi
ples of agricultural practice, but are
now surprised to find that they can
materially increase their yields of com
or cotton by following the advice and
suggestions offered them free of cost
through the system of county agricul
tural agents now already established in
some sixty-five counties of Georgia.
In addition to the above, correspond
ence work is carried on; information of
interest to all classes of citizens is pre
pared and distributed in bulletin form:
aid is rendered the state press in secur
ing such data for publication as will be
Various materials may be used as
the basis for the preparation of a 10-
3-4 formula. One thousand pounds of
acid phosphate, 800 pounds of tankage
containing 8 per cent of nitrogen and 11
per cent of phosphoric acid, 150 pounds
of muriate of potash and 50 pounds of.
dried earth used as a filler will give
you approximately the formula desired.
If you prefer to use cotton seed meal
and nitrate of soda or sulphate of am
monia as the source of nitrogen, you
can substitute the same for tankage.
Proceed as follows: Mix together 1,150
pounds of 16 per cent acid phosphate,
600 pounds of cotton seed meal contain
ing 6.18 per cent of nitrogen. 2.5 per
cent of phosphoric acid and 2 per cent
of potash, 200 pounds of high-grade ni
trate of soda and 136 pounds of muri
ate of potash. This will give you by
weight 2,086 pounds or slightly in ex
cess of one ton, but the effect on the
percentage composition will be so slight
you may disregard the excess question.
This will provide you with an excellent
formula for use under cotton of gray
land of the character described in your
letter! This formula should answer
well for com also. Corn takes more
plant food out of the soil than cotton,
and where we would alvise the use of
400 to 500 pounds under cotton, we
would suggest the application of 600 to
700 pounds under corn. In other words,
probably 200 pounds more fertilizer can
be used to advantage under corn than
under cotton. Of course, where one
expects to grow an extraordinarly
large yield of cotton, the use of more
than 500 pounds of fertilizer will often
prove profitable. The amount of fertil
izer to apply will depend much on the
physical condition of your land and the
amount of vegetable matter it contains.
It has been well established that a larg
er proportionate return has been obtain
ed from those lands where the vegetable
matter is increased through applications
of yard manure and the turning under
of green leguminous crops. Land that
has a good red clay subsoil underlying
it should be fairly retentive of plant
food and moisture and should respond

GOOD TYPES OF BEEF CATTLE.
T. T. H.. Davleboro, Ga., writes: I would
like to know what type of cattle to raise
for combination beef and milk. I have
some good cows and think I could cross
them with a pure-bred bull and raise very
good cattle. I want something of the beef
type and also good milkers. What variety
of cotton would you advise tue to plant
for an all-round crop? I plant some 300
acres in cotton every year. My land is of
a grayish top soil with a clay subsoil and
good average land.

vantage, however, to make heavy appli
cations of plant food without putting
the soil in physical condition to retain
an abundance of water and thus enable
the plants to grow vigorously through
out the season and not only profit from
the liberal applications of food supplied
in a commercial form, but be in position
to resist drought periods to better ad
vantage. We believe the formula sug
gested will be found as valuable as any
others which we can suggest at this
time. *

EXPERIENCE WITH ALFALFA.
A. O. M., Fort Valley, Ga., writes: I
would like to know what your experience
has been with alfalfa. I have an acre
and u half planted to this crop and am
thinking of increasing th e acreage if you
think it is a profitable crop to cultivate.
My land is stiff red land, high and well
drained.
Among the dual-purpose breeds may
be classed the Devon, Red Poll and pos
sibly the milking strains of Shorthorn.
Alfalfa has been grown with consid
erable success on the college farm. The
land was carefully prepared by turning
under cowpeas, applying hard manure
and commercial fertilizer. Two green
crops were plowed under before the
seeding of alfalfa was undertaken. Caus
tic lime was then applied at the rate of
one ton per . acre and six tons of yard
manure scattered over the ground and
incorporated with a harrow. The seed
ing was done on October 1, 1912, and a
few days previous to planting an appli
cation of 500 pounds’' of a 10-3-4 was
made. This land would be classed as a
gray phase of the cecil sandy loam and
is only of average fertility. It was
broken to a good depth and was in ex
cellent condition at the time of seeding.
The alfalfa was sown at the rate of
twenty pounds per acre and*a half of
the area was inoculated and half unin
oculated. A good stand was obtaineu.
The alfalfa was cut five times and made
a yield from the inoculated area of 6.48
tons of cured hay and from the unin
oculated area of 3.44 tons.
Land intended for alfalfa should be
very .carefully prepared. It is impor
tant to use smother crops on it so as to
destroy weeds, and lime seems to be a
desirable amendment to apply to the
soil. The increase of vegetable matter
over that normally contained in most
Georgia soils is advisable. An applica
tion of 1,000 pounds of a 10-3-4 formula
will be profitable on many soils.- The
lime and the fertilizer should not be
mixed together. It is, of course, too
late to sow alfalfa with any certainty
of securing a?stand. We would advise
the preparation »of the soil by sowing to
to Georgia, and where one desires a
strictly dual-purpose breed, we would
be disposed to recommend the Red Poll.
These animals are quite satisfactory
for milk and beef' production; that is,
if you secure the right strain of them.
We think the bulls will cross on the
native cows and improve the grade of
stock considerably. Personally, we
think the dual-purpose animals hard to
maintain on a satisfactory basis; that
is. the tendency in selecting and breed
ing them will be to emphasize either
milk or beef production too much with
the result that the characteristics of
the strain vary considerably and as a
rule, breeders develop them largely for
one purpose or the other. You will find
the milking strain of Shorthorns very
desirable animals for use in Georgia. The
trouble is that animals of this type are
difficult to secure and high priced. Bulls
of any of the standard beef breeds may
be used to advantage in improving the
native stock of the state. For instance,
you may purchase a Hereford, Angus or
Shorthorn for this purpose. There is
quite as much in the man as in the par
ticular breed of cattle. Jerseys, of
course, are entirely unsatisfactory for
beef production, and one should not at
tempt to use them for this purpose, as
they are strictly a dairy breed, and this
applies with considerable force also to
the Guernsey and Holstein.
A great many varieties of cotton may
be grown with considerable success in
Georgia. One should pick out the best
standardized and most successful strain
cultivated in his community and by
careful seed selection improve its qual
ities for localized growth. Our tests
here show, for instance, that Cleveland,
Cook, Pullnot, Uncle Sam, Mortgage
Lifter, Culpepper, Langdon, Middleton,
Sunbeam and some other varieties will
give excellent results under proper care
and management. The Sunbeam cotton
is a strain produced ip our demonstra
tion field here by crossing, breeding and
careful selection. It has made a fine
record in many parts of the state where
it has been grown. Unfortunately, we
are not in position to supply, seed to the
many farmers who desire it. We en
deavored to secure an appropriation
from the last legislature for this pur
pose, but I regret to say, failed in the
attempt. If you find that any of the
above strains are grown extensively in
your community and have given satis
factory results, we would advise that
you select seed from them, believing
that in this way you will esecure better
results than through the importation
of seed from a distance.
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 27.—A general
preliminary investigation of the food
markets of the entire country has been
started by the departmen-t of justice,
with an eye to discovery of evidence
indicating the existence of a “food
trust.”
Georgia will be included in this in
vestigation, and it will be pushed there
as actively as anywhere else. But no
prosecutions in that state will be or
dered until the conclusion of the whole
survey. When that is finished, and the
general ground plan is mapped, action
may be expected in the United States
courts.
Lewis J. Bailey, of Atlanta, the spe
cial agent of the department of 'justice
in Georgia, will represent the bureau of
investigation in the work in that state.
He will report a general summary of
conditions as he finds them. This will
be analyzed in conjunction with similar
reports from all the other states. It is
anticipated that shortly thereafter the
attorney general will instruct the dis
trict attorneys upon what he wants
them to do further.
The investigation has been started
with vigor in New York as the chief
commercial center of the country. /
Several of the most expert special
agents have been sent there. Report
from them, expected within the. next
few days, will be of service in deciding
the line of the investigation, in other
parts of the country. .
The big point the New York investi
gation probably will clear up is wheth
er the department shall proceed in all
parts of the country to look for viola
tions o fthe anti-trust law or for con
spiracies for the robbery of consumers.
The conspiracy charges carries the
heavier penalty. Jn New York the sit
uation permits the case to take any
course the department may elect.
A charge of restraining interstate
commerce may be laid if the facts war
rant it. If it develops that the dif
ferent storage concerns are not in an
officially organized trust, but are op
erating under a “gentlemen’s agree
ment” to dominate the law of supply
and demand, then a charge of conspira
cy may be laid.
If the complaints which have come
to the department of justice from vari
ous parts of the country, including
Georgia, are substantiated' by the in
vestigation, it is believed - here that
something very like conspiracy will be
developed. The complaints are that
the entrance of cold storage plants all
over. the country is always wide open,
but that the exit invariably is choked
to keep the consumer from finding at
any time and over-supplied market* By
this means, it is alleged, there Is main
tained so enormous a difference between
the prices of food stuffs entering the
plants and the prices of food stuffs
emerging from them, that the owners
are able to earn immense profits, even
if they are compelled to destroy quan
tities of goods at times.
ONE-CENT POSTAGE FIEHT •

(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
SPARTANBURG, S. C., Nov. 27.
Forest fires, which have been sweeping
the Blue Ridge mountains in the north
ern part of this county for several
days, have already caused thousands of
dollars of damage in timber and farm,
buildings destroyed and are now men
acing several of the hotels and cottages
of the winter colony of wealthy north
ern people at Tryon, N. C.
The Shuka hotel, owned by Arch B.
Calvert, of this city, was especially In
danger yesterday and was only saved
by the work of 100 men whom Mr. Cal
vert employed to fight the flames.
A long spell of dry weather has left
everything dry as tinder, but there has
been fortunately little wind. All In

fires. Rain is being prayed for.
Forest Fires Threaten
Lookout Mountain Cottages
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Nov. 27.—-A
score of summer cottages upon Lookout
mountain were threatened by forest fires
last night. Residents of the mountain,
aided by volunteers from the city,
fought the flames for several hours. The
fires were entirely under control today.
Fires upon Raccoon mountain, Signal
mountain and Walden’s ridge were no
ticed to be extensive last night, but no
property loss has been reported.
FEVER-BEARING ‘SKEETER’
BANISHED IfROM CANAL
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—Dr. Edward
Martini, who has been studying the
United States army’s medical work in
the canal zone in the Interest of the
German government, arrived here today
from Colon. He will return to Germany
shortly to make a report and will later
go to the German colonies in South
America, where he will undertake to du
plicate the sanitary work of the Ameri
cans in the canal zone, particularly
the successful campaign against yellow
fever.
Dr. Martini brought back with him
from the isthmus specimens of fever
infectihg mosquitoes, which he said he
had been forced to go outside the canal
zone to find because of the elimination
of the) pest by American sanitary reg
ulations.
Dozen Bills Have Already Been
Introduced Providing
Change in Rate
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—One cent
postage promises to be one of the live
issues to be fought out in the regular
sfssion of congress. A dozen bills al
ready have been introduced and it is
said about half of thes # e provide for
penny postage outright.
It is pointed out by members inter
ested in the subject that the probable
large, increase in the parcel post revenue
would make penny postage a possibility
without seriously hampering the finan
cial affairs of the postal service. Oth
ers contend the parcel post service
should be given further opportunity to
demonstrate its earning capacity before
a possible large revenue loss to the de
partment is incurred.
Senator Burton, of Ohio, has a meas
ure that provides for a first-class rate
of 1 cent per ounce. Several other
bills establish the 1 cent rate where de
livery is to be made within the limits
of the postoffice where the matter was
mailed.

parently indestructible under long years
of severe trial.
Years ago, in making and galvanizing
steel wire, we searched out the reason
for this spasmodic shper-excellence, and
found it to be the chance combination of a
high state of perfection, in the finest detail,
of man, methods, machinery and materials.
We then mastered these fickle elements
of chance by the employment of a tre
mendous manufacturing organization
and brought them under control for
steady and continuous production.
We now announce the final completion of our facilities
for the extensive and permanent production of this thoroughly
galvanized wire. We shall use it in the manufacture of our
celebrated woven wire fences—the AMERICAN FENCE,
the ELLWOOD FENCE, the ROYAL FENCE, the
ANTHONY FENCE, and all our other fences.
These fences are adapted for all field,
farm and poultry uses, and possess
superior structural advantages in quality
of steel and fabric. Dealers everywhere
throughout the country display these
fences and will quote lowest prices,.
They cost no more than other fences,
and considering the extra large and heavy
•wires used, and the exclusive use of new
thorough galvanizing, makes them espe
cially attractive as the best and cheapest
fences. •

is wrong and harmful. Try the external treat

chest and cover with a warm flannel cloth.
The warmth of the body releases vapors of
Pine Tar, Menthol. Thymol, and Eucalyptol,
that loosen the choking phlegm and ease the
difficult breathing immediately. One appli
