This department will cheerfully endeavor to furnish any information. Letters should be addressed to Dr. Andrew M. Soule, president Sto,te Ag ricultural College, Athens, Ga. A KINGDOM IN ITSELF Decatur county is a kingdom in itself. To the uninitiated this statement may seem somewhat flamboyant, but those who have visited southwest Georgia ana acquainted themselves with the natural qualities of the soil, the ideal climatic conditions existing there, and the great variety of coops which may be grown to perfection will realize the justness of the caption of this article and the conserva tive nature of the statements it contains. My last visit to Bainbridge was made un der ideal circumstances. It was one of those days of days that come during that languorous season known as Indian sum mer. The fields were brown with the ev ident riches of an abundant harvest al- y ready garnered into fat barns and store houses. The trees were clad in russet and gol<a intermingled with the green of the pine and the brilliant red of the pin oak and other forest trees, presenting with all -a most varied and attractive picture of nature at her best. The city of Bainbaidge itself has been judiciously laid out and boasts of well- paved streets and a white way, with the central square reserved for a park which has been tastefully planted and cared for and which adds an attractiveness oi which its citizens may well be proud. The city is substantially built and wears prosperous air which is the best evidence that the territory surrounding it pro- building of roads. It was the writer's privilege to travel over some of those recently built. They are of the sand- clay type and are broad and well made and can be kept in good condition at comparatively low cost. The spirit of a community and its ideals are often best portrayed in the attention and con sideration it gives to its schools. One of the prettiest buildings of the Spanish type of architecture which the writer has seen in Georgia has been erected in Bainbridge, and though it was not my privilege to inspect the interior of the school, I was assured by those who knew that it was one of the best or ganized and equipped institutions of its kind in the state. Decatur county and Bainbridge are fortunately , situated in a variety of ways. A large river traverses the county so that freight and passengers are cheaply and efficiently handled either by water or rail since there are two steam roads running through the coun ty. This affords all communities un usual shipping advantages, a condition which should be highly prized in a sec tion where trucking may be carried on to such excellent advantage. The soils of the county are varied in character and texture; there are outcroppings of red clay, here and there, and the land is Recent' y there has been considerable | pessimism expressed by country bank ers over the alleged reckless extrava- ; gance of farmers in buying automobiles, and some state bankers’ associations have gone so far as to express in offi cial resolutions their disapproval of j farmers taking their money out of the banks to buy machines and intimating that credit will be refused those who try to borrow money for that purpose. These pessimistic “warnings” by the banks are so uniform in character and arc sent with such marked regularity as to arouse the suspicion that they emanate from a certain source and are intended to conceal a sinister pur pose. Perhaps this activity on the part of certain powerful financial interests may be explained by the reports that a great trust is being formed to take over all the principal automobile facto ries in the United States, and if the business can be demoralized by fright ening people and thus preventing them from buying machines the central plants can be bought for less money. While it is true that thousands of farmers have bought autos, it will doubt less be found on proper investigation that most of them had the money in the bank to pay for them, and that very little borrowed money has been used for this purpose. The report sent out by a Wall street agency that farmers all over the west were mortgaging their land for this purpose and that one bank in Kansas City held fifty-eight farm mortgages which had been placed to get money to buy automobiles, have been proven to be entirely untrue. Farmers are buying automobiles— not as bankers do, for pleasure—but j because they have learned that they j can use them to a great advantage in ! their farming operations. A trip to t town which usually takes three hours J with a good team can be made in forty minutes by an auto, a saving of nearly two and a half hours, and the team can be kept at work in the field meantime. This saving of time and the labor of a team and man 'in the! field is well worth while and highly copimendable. Thousands of aqtos are used every day by dairymen, fruit growers and ; truckers to deliver their produce to ; market, and these machines, loaded to ; the guards, may be seen daily on the i streets of market towns in every state, east, west, north and south. Many farmers also use their autos for power to run separators and other light machinery on the farm, as it is the cheapest power that can be sup plied. And if in addition to these needs the farmer uses his auto to take his family to town or to church or to visi£ friends with comfort and celerity while the work teams are resting, he is merely showing further evidence of his con servative sense which we may safely continuue to trust. T duces abundantly. It also has a board of sufficiently rolling to drain well. A con- trade which stands for co-operation ana the “get together” spirit between city and country now so much in evidence in many parts of Georgia. The occasion of my visit was the celebration of Georgia Products’ day and the board of trade made it a most felicitous and successful one. The crowd was both large and representative. The various addresses delivered were listened to with keen at tention and the questions asked of the various speakers showed that the thirst . for better and more definite agricultural knowledge jhas taken a vigorous hold on - this community. The barbecue was a great success and needless to say was well patronized, and as a means of bringing the town and city together must be de clared a winner. Certainly the get-to gether spirit evidenced and the desire for more thorough co-operation and a better understanding between producer and con sumer and buyer and seller are to bb commended, and just in proportion as this spirit can be made to grow; and de velop in Georgia will our agriculture be come more prosperous and our towns and cities establish Fheir business interests on a more substantial basis. Decatur county is to be congratulat ed on the success she is making in the ( * Ail over the country men are tearing off wood, prepared paper, tin and galvan- , ized roofs.

THE EDWARDS MFC. COMPANY 12353 Look St. CINCINNATI, OHIO , siderable area of the land appears to be a sandy loam, similar if not identi cal with the formations known as the ( Tifton sandy loam. This provides a \! soil ideal for the cultivation of a great variety of crops and with the long sea sons, an abundance of sunshine and a well-distributed rainfall makes it pos sible for this section of the state to grow practically all the crops known to the temperate zone. For instance, in one part of the county shade tobac co of a most superior type is produced abundantly and economically. The syrup made from ribbon cane has more than a local reputation and thoroughly de serves it. When properly made and bottled this syrup can be preserved and given the widest possible distribution. Its flavor commends it to the palate of the epicure and an ever widening market should easily be found for this delectable product. Cotton grows advan tageously and constitutes one of the principal crops of the county, while considerable attention is also given to the raising of live stock, including hogs and poultry. Fruit is also grown suc cessfully and in considerable variety. The writer saw beautiful oranges, grapefruit and even bananas grown in the county, and was assured that the trees produced liberally from year to year. As the demand for fruit of this character extends, it is probable that this industry will become more varied and important than at the present time. Few counties in Georgia can produce greater variety of products of a bet ter quality, and surely under the cir cumstances it is not overstating the case to say that Decatur county is a kingdom in itself. The leaders of the county are active, progressive men, in tensely interested in building it up and utilizing its latent resources to the best advantage. Much excellent land is still not under cultivation and owing to the presence of the cattle tick is not a-s valuable for live stock produc tion as is desirable. In this section of the state the natural grazing is very abundant and of a character well uited to the nutrition of live stock. Therefore, the ticks should be eradicated and this industry placed on a substan tial and prosperous basis. It would not only effect a great saving to the county, but .would open up a new line of industry, making possible tjie earn ing of a substantial profit, on lands which are now idle and furnish a local packing plant, which should be erected, with a uniform supply of a good grade of animals for slaughter as well. The great variety of crops which can be grown in Decatur county insure the production of pork on a most profitable basis. Of course, the hogs should be inoculated with protective serum and the pork made on grazing crops since; it can be furnished more cheaply under ! this plan of management than in any j other way. An agricultural survey of the county would reveal all the soil types and en able their classification, giving the farmers a general idea as to the na ture and extent of the plant food sup plies available for the growth of crops, and how these can best be supplemented through the use of commercial plant food, and it is believed that the spirit evidenced at the recent agthering at Bainbridge will result in the inaugura tion of a soil survey at no distant date. There is some agitation with reference to the advent of the boll weevil, but a county whiph can produce such a variety of crops so advantageously should not be disturbed by this nuisance, provided they take time by the forelock as it would now seem they intend to do. The fact that the demonstration agent in this county. Mr. Pitman, lias been so much appreciated by the folks at home and is being given such excellent sup port is an evidence of the live and wide awake spirit now being shown, and the determination to emphasize live stock industries and diversify crops more extensively than ever before in the history of this section makes ,it certain that the boll weevil will not prove a serious menace to the continued prosperity of Decatur county. * * * FERTILIZING EARLY COUNTY E. C., Blakely. (Ja., writes: l have about 2QO acres of light gray land a por tion of which is broken and pimply, the balance Is flat, and all of It is a light gray sandy soil. I would like to know jhe best way to prepare the soil for the raising of oats, hay, corn and cotton. A Great Responsibility. HE responsibility attached to the preparing of a remedy for infants and children is undoubtedly greater than that imposed upon the manufacturer of remedies for adults whose system is sufficiently strong to counteract, for a time at least, any injurious drug. It is well to observe that Castoria is prepared today, as it has been for the past 40 years, under the personal supervision of Mr. Chas. H. Fletcher. What have makers of imitations and substitutes at stake ? What are their responsibilities? To whom are they answerable? They spring up today, scatter their nefarious wares broadcast, and disappear tomorrow. Could each mother see the painstaking care with which the prescription for Fletcher’s Castoria is prepared : could they read the innumerable testimonials from grateful mothers, they would never listen to the subtle pleadings and false arguments of those who would offer an imitation of, or substitute for, the tried and true Fletcher’s Castoria.

Soil su^h as you describe is likely to be in tairly good physical condition, though it would not be classed as one ot the richest soils in the state. We judge that the presence of the pimples to which you refer indicates that it is either a Tifton sandy load or a soil resembling this type in its general char acteristics. The Tifton sandy loam is considered one of the best soils in south Georgia and produces very good crops of corn and cotton and oats also do well on it. It is capable under good man agement of producing an average yield of one bale of cotton per acre and from 50 to 60 bushels of corn. As much as 50 bushels of oats have often been obtained. Velvet beans and peanuts do well on this soil. In order to secure thfese yields, however, the land must ! " ‘“".‘i he i months product and FALL FRESH COWS BEST It is a well-known fact that by far ; a greater number . of dairy cows are i allowed to follow the most natural course, and either by indifference or in- : tention, they freshen in the spring. The producer of milk for sale, if he j has an even trade, may want to have an even number of fresh cows in every month of the year. If the bull is kept confined and serv ice controlled, this can be regulated as a rule, although unpleasant irregulari ties in breeding will sometimes occur and stubbornly resist correction. But, if the prime object is to produce the greatest quantity of milk of the best quality and the greatest profit with any given number of cows within a year, evidence is overwhelming that the cows should be managed so as to calve during the autumn months. For like reasons, September is the j best month in most parts of the coun- | try for a heifer to drop her first calf j ir« order to best develop as a cow. This | almost regardless of the animal at the first calving. Calves born in the fall are more easily reared and make better cows than those born in the spring and summer. It seems needless to rehearse the stock arguments on the subject, based on long experience of successful dairymen, but a brief recapitulation may be useful. The cow or heifer calving in the fall needs the most healthy and nutritious pasturage just following the strain while coming into full flow. Just at this time, when some falling off is likely to occur, the animal is brought to the stable and receives good care; the winter feeding and the returns from it may be depended upon to ex ceed the midsummer results for any like period. At the stage of milking and gesta tion, when another dropping off of the milk yield may be looked for, the fresh pastures induce a fresh cow, lengthen the milking season and increase the year’s" product. December and January are good months in which to control and super vise the service of a bull. Midsummer and the dog days are a good time for the cow to be dry and preparing to calve again. ' With fall-fresh cows the greatest and richest product comes at the sea son when milk and butter are always comparatively high in price. In actual practice four fall-fresh cows have been found equal to five which calved in the spring in twelve m ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT.

It v will thus be seen that these soils require quite liberal fertilization, and we would recommend for, use under cotton a 9-3-4 formula, and for, corn a ip-4-4, and on the sandi est type of this soil probably a 10-45. We think at least 500 pounds per acre can be applied to advantage. Probably 300 pounds of it can be used under the drill row and 200 pounds as a side ap plication. Corn will profit as a rule by a little heavier application than cotton as it is a grosser feeding plant. We would recommend that you plow the land in the fall if practicable to n considerable depth. Incorporate any vegetable matter available. In the spring open furrows for corn and cot ton and mix with the subsoil by means of a bull tongue either yard manure or compost made fi^om leaves. Then put in the fertilizer, bed on the same fcp* cotton and draw the furrows to gether for corn and plant on the level. We have found this method of soil management to be quite profitable on the college farm and on the test plats which we are operating in the various sections of the state. * * • THREE BALES PER ACRE.

What should be done to prevent cholera? What breed of hogs Is best for quick fattening? Will July pigs do to brqpd by February if properly cared for? The advisability of paying 8 cents for shoats in fair condition with the expectation of selling them at 12 to 12 1-2 cents after fattening depends on a number of important factors. First of all, if your land is close to the rail road where you can command the high est price for foodstuffs, the proposition Tailoring Salesmen WANTED f We want live, energetic hustlers, men who can make good; who are ambitious to start in ebusiness of their own.

If one exfpects to go into the fattening of hogs, they should be provided with a considerable area of grazing crops. For Instance, even at .this time such crops as pea nuts and artichokes and pastures de rived, from the seeding of rye, oats, crimson clover and other crops early in the autumn should be available. Hogs allowed some range and required to gather a part of their food will fatten as rapidly and more economically than where they are confined in pens and fed on corn at 80 cents a bushel. If you are able to secure from 4 to 5 cents above the buying price of the hogs of good breeding and which should be ex pected to grow off vigorously, you should be able to feed even SO-cent corn properly combined with tankage, mid-j dlings or other protein foodstuffs at a! fair profit. Your profits will be greater where the grazing crops are available. The winter feeding of hogs in Geor gia is likely to prove less profitable un less you are especially prepared for it than the spring and summer feeding be cause more grazing crops are then avail able and you can produce pork with a rrrinimum of grain. This is a great ad vantage. If you have an abundance of corn and buy the supplemental food stuffs, however, the fall fattening of shoats weighing forty pounds can be carried forward with some profit under good management. The management afforded the sixty- pound shoats to be fattened for the January market would be largely as outlined above, that is, for economical feeding you should have grazing crops, and then feed corn, digester tankage and other foodstuffs in proper combina tion. Hogs to be fattened for the win ter market should be housed in cots or shed^g which will protect them from the weather and keep them warm and dry. Leaves or straw may be used as litter in the <?ost. Of course, there should be an abunadnee of fresh water. The cots may be placed in the open range or near the feeding troughs. Tnese cots will cost very little to build and you no doubt are familiar with the method of construction best to follow. A good ration for fattening hogs would be corn four parts and middlings one or two parts fed as a fairly thin slop. If skim milk or kitchen refuse is available, it should be used provided there is no glass in it and none of the cleansing powders and soaps used in the kitchen sink. Where corn and digester tankage are used, mix the corn in the proportion of 90 pounds to 10 pounds of tankage. Feed either dry or in a moistened condition. We prefer the latter. A good ration for shoats would be as above. It is important that they have more protein and less corn relatively than the heavier hogs. Alfalfa hay fed whole to pigs by us has not proven very satisfactory. If ground and fed as a meal it would no doubt prove more effective. If one has it on hand they can no doubt feed it to advantage, but if it has to be pur chased we think it of doubtful value at present prices. We have fed digester tankage in the proportions mentioned above with corn and other foodstuffs with good success. The tankage refer red to is not that put up for fertilizing purposes by packing houses, but is espe cially prepared. Corn meal and wheat shorts fed sepa rately will not be as good for fattening purposes as where they are combined in the proportion of 3 to 4 pounds of the former and 1 to 2 pounds of the latter. We would recommend that you keep before your hogs tihe following tonic mixture: Wood charcoal, 1 pound sulphur, 1 pound; sodiunv chloride, 2 pounds; sodium bicarbonate, 2 pounds; sodium hyposulphite, 2 pounds; sodium \ sulphate, 1 pound; antimony sulphide, 1 pound. The hogs should be treated with Im munizing serum as a preventive qf chol era. This is the only remedy which has proven effective. No stock food is necessary. Hogs will dress our ordi narily about 80 per cent of the live weight. You can judge from - this which will pay you best to sell them direct for meat or go to the trouble and ex pense of slaughtering and curing the product There is no one best breed of hogs. Poland Chinas and Duroc Jerseys are quick maturing and fattening animals. They produce more fat in proportion to lean meat, however, than the Berto- shires and Tamworths. Any or all of these breeds can be used to advantage in Georgia. It is not advisable to breed u pigs too soon. Much damage 1$ done from breeding from immature animals. Of course, the date of breeding depends much on the growth and condition ot the animals in question. This will be determined largely by the care and treatment to which they have been subjected.
