ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1913. t ricultural w Andrew A .Soule POINTS A GOOD DRAFT HORSE SHOULD POSSESS A good draft horse should be fairly low set, blocky, deep and wide, and should be symmetrical or well propor tioned and should stand squarely on comparatively short, straight legs. The good stallion should show lots of style, carrying his head well witli ears erect and showing life and spirit. The draft stallion should have a and should slope about 45 degrees from a large, well-rounded foot. The foot should have considerable* depth, and with at the heel is also important. The hind legs should be straight with a wide, clean hock, showing no puffs or bony enlargements. A wide, flat appear ance to the leg is again wanted, but the hind pasterns, though they should be I logy, careless walkers. They never sire ! good horses.

Letters should be addressed to Dr. Andrew 31. Soule, president State Ag ricultural College, Athens, Ga. TRUCK CROPS FOR GEORGIA Trucking is gradually becoming one of our important industries. This Is as it should be for the reasons assigned be low. First of all, in producing truck earli ness is a matter of primary importance, and to this erfcl sandy loam soils are es- ! sential. Second, in growing truck a mild and I equable climate, especially during the •winter months, is essential, and this is found in a considerable part of Georgia. Third, good shipping facilities to large ) are imperative. The various trunk lines of railroads pene trating the state provide this. Fourth, it • is necessary that a suf- • ficient variety of crops be grown so as to enable this intensified form of I farming to be carried on profitably. Georgia is particularly fortunate in these several respects, because she has ideal trucking soils and the climate is such that practically every one of the truck crops which are most in public demand can be grown in large quanti ties and produced at a reasonable cost, -while at the same time preserving the highest excellence as to quality. Among the soils best suited for this purpose are the various phases of the Norfolk and Portsmouth sands or sandy loams. While these soils are ideally adapted for truck crops, so far as their physical con dition is concerned, they must be handled with skill in order to produce profitable crops. Naturally, they are not rich in the more important elements regarded as necessary to insure profitable yields. They must, therefore, be liberally fer tilized and the plant food rations must be adjusted so as to meet the needs of the crop to be grown. Of course, these soils will be benefited by additions of humus. This can be supplied by grow ing legumes in the summer time and turning them under in the fall. Since many of the crops which the farmer will find most profitable can be planted to advantage at that season, they will be ready for harvest in the early spring, and hence can be removed from the soil in time to permit of the gTowth of a second crop during the same year, for the purpose of building up the humus content of the soil. While this method of management will minimize the need of artificial supplies of nitrogen, it will not obviate its use in commercial forms, by any means. Among the more important of the truck crops which can be grown exten sively in Georgia are cabbages, toma toes, onions, cantaloupes, watermelons, Irish potatoes and sweet potatoes. An attempt will not be made at this time to offer definite advice as to the meth ods of handling each of these crops, though a brief note concerning each may be found of valub to the interested grower. Cabbages should, of course, be trans planted before this date. They give their best results on soils which have been made rich by the application of well decomposed manure or compost. In addition, there should be used a commer cial fertilizer containing about 4 per cent * of nitrogen, 7 per cent of phos phoric acid and 8 per cent of potash. Ap ply at the ti^ie of setting out the plants in the drills at the rate of 500 to 1,00C pounds per acre. Tomatoes should be started in' hot teds the first of January and trans planted as soon as danger of frost is passed. They also will appreciate a soil well supplied with vegetable mat ter. A good formula to use for this crop will be one containing 3.6 per cent of nitrogen. 7.5 per cent of phosphoric acid and 8 per cent of potash; most of the fertilizer to be put under the drill row at the time of setting out the plants. Onion seed should be sown about January 1. This cto$ requires very heavy fertilization. Better yields win be obtained where some form of vege table matter has been- applied to the , soil the previous fall in considerable quantities. Manure will answer well for this purpose. I n its absence, com post or green manure must be relied upon. This crop should be fertilized with a formula containing 4.5 per cent of nitrogen, 7 per cenr of phosphoric acid and 8 per cent of potash applied at from 800 to 1,000 pounds to the acre. Cantaloupes and watermelons should b e planted as soon as danger of frost is passed. This varies some with local conditions, but will approximate March 1.5, as they thrive best in light, sandy soils. Georgia has great areas of soil admirably suited to botn crops.

To this end a formula containing ap • proximately 3 to 4 per cent of nitrogen. 8 to 9 per cent of phosphoric acid and 6 to 7 per cent of potash will be found desirable. The fertilizer Is best ap plied in the hill, though it should be well mixed with the soil, and from 800 to 1,000 pounds per acre will be about the right amount to use. Water melons will respond well to this formu la especially where cowpeas have been turned under the previous ye^r. Sweet and Irish potatoes do not vary materially as to their plant food re quirements. The sweet potatoes should have a rich soil and one well supplied with vegetable matter. For the best results with either crop, it will be found advantageous if a legume has been plowed under the previous fall or yard manure applied at the rate of ten tons per acre Just before the land was broken. Irish potatoes should be plant ed in rows 3 to 3 1-2 feet apart in Feb ruary, where the best yields and larg est returns from early marketing a^o sought.

H. Thompson, Hilltonfa, Ga.. writes: I have ten acres of deep sandy soil with yellow clay subsoil, on which I grew eight bales of cotton tn 1912. The land was in coni and peas the previous year. Ferti lizer used under cotton was 1,000 pounds of 9-2-3 per acre and cotton grew from four i° / eet hIsh and topped across middle of rour%foot rows. It seems to me that it had weed enough to have made fifteen or twenty bales of cotton, but only made eight. What grade of fertllzer should I use to make fifteen bales next year? How far apart should the rows be? How far apart should the plants be on the row? Also have one acre of same kind of land that made 1^ bales of cotton last year, rows five feet apart and plants two feet apart. Fertilizers used were eighteen one- norse wagonloads of stable manure and 1 OOO pounds of 8-1-3. What grade and amount of fertilizers must I use to make two bales next year? m The fact that you mad© plenty of weed in 1912 would Indicate that the elements likely to be deficient in your soil are phosphoric acid and potash. W e would advise the use of a formula therefore, emphasizing these constitu ents. We believe that you could use to advantage from 800 to 1,000 pounds of a 12-2-6 formula. Plant in rows say 4 1-2 to 5 feet apart and use part of the formula as a side application in the early part of the growing season. The balance put under the drill row at the time of planting. Yard manure should be put under the drill row at the time of planting the crop. I believe it is best to leave the cotton stalks about two feet apart in the rows and leave itwo plants in each hill. We find that ’two plants do not grow very large but giv^ a larger yield than one to .the hill. Land such as you describe may often be low in phosphoric acid and potash as well. It is for this reason that we advise the use of the formula given above in the manner suggested. Ordinarily this land will respond to the use of a formula containing 3 or 4 per cent of nitrogen. Judging that you have interpreted the results correctly we only .suggest that you use 2 per cent in the year 1914 and if for any reason the stalks should not make the growth you . desire, you can stimulate the development of the crop by putting on a side application of nitrate of soda abou June 15. It is difficult matter to make two bales of cotton per acre without the use of vegetable matter. As ycu know, the physical condition of the soil has much to do with determining the response obtained from fertilizers. Wc would advise, therefore, that you make a special effort to use yard ma nure or compost on the land where you hope to make two bales per acre. Then I would suggest the application of a thousand pounds of a formula con taining 3 to 4 per cent of nitrogen, 11 to 12 per cent of phosphoric acid and 4 to 5 per cent of potash. Plant In relatively wide rows' and leave two stalks per hill. The varieties of cotton you mention in your letter are vpry good sorts. * • * INOCULATING LAND FOR ALFALFA. E. H. D. : of Armuchee. Ga., writes: Please tell me how to Inoculate my land. Where can 1 secure the inoculating material and the cost per acre? Also give me in formation in regard to growing alfalfa. Land may be inoculated for alfalfa or other legumes in several ways. On fields where it has been grown success fully for several years the soil is natur ally filled with the bacteria which live ir. the little knots formed on the roots of the growing plants, thus giving them power to gather nitrogen out of the air. Therefore lr the plants growing in the particular fields are free from disease and the roots show a larger number of nodules one may use three to five hun dred pounds per acre of this soil to in oculate areas where alfalfa or other legumes have not been previously grown. | The soil should be t^ken to the depth of ; several inches and scattered uniformly , over the land it is intended to inoculate. I It should then be harrowed in. Put it on | at the time the crop is planted. One can ' secure artificial cultures free of cost on .application to the bureau of plant In dustry, United States department of ag- j riculture. for inoculating 1 * the more 1m- ! portant legumes. These artificial cul- | tures have proven quite satisfactory, j and they are cheaper naturally than any I other material you can use. Full direc- ' tions are sent ns to how to prepare and I handle the seed so as to insure its prop er inoculation. It is important that the* | seed after being treated be not exposed j to sunlight as there is danger of the I bacteria being killed if exposed to a i strong light for too long a period of ; time. In growing alfalfa it is important to have a well drained porus soil. Break the land to a good depth this fall. In the spring seed it to cow peas or other legumes which should be turned under ir. late August or September. Roll or harrow the land so as to puroduce a fine seed bed. Apply at least one ton of pul verized lime rock per acre as a top dressing. Harrow it into the soil. About October 1 sow alfalfa at the rate of 25 pounds per a^re. Cross seed it. The It is a matter of common observation that, when any community has passed from a condition dominated by bad roads to a condition which is character ized by good roads, land values in that community advance. It is plain that no system of good roads can directly im prove the soil fertility or the quality of farms. It is equally true that good roads can and do directly improve the site value, or the value which accrues to the farm by virtue of its situation with respect to markets, schools, and towns, and the accessibility of these. In dealing with this matter of in creased farm values from a strictly eco nomic standpoint, it has been pointed out and it is worth remembering, that where farms have advanced in value the advance is due essentially to decreased An excellent Percheron, winner of first prize. strong masculine, yet refined head, with good width of forehead, clean-cut face, large, bright eyes, well set ears and firm lips. Heads too fine are objected to, as is also the dished face; but an inclina tion to a Roman nose in the stallion is liked by most horsemen. The neck should be rather long, clean cut throat latch and a set up on top of the shoulders and not straight in front like the head of a cow. The shoulders should be strong and well laid into the back. Sloping shoulders allow the head to be carried well up and distribute the draught evenly along the collar. The back should be comparatively short with arched ribs, giving the barrel-like appearance of roundness. The loin should be short, well packed with mus cle, and the flanks should be low. Short coupled, low-flanked horses are generally strong and easy goers. The forearm and gaskin should be heavily muscled and strong. Below the knees thel eg should appear wide and fiat with clean, strong bone and tendons. The pasterns .should be of fair length strong, need" not slope as much as the , features.

The alfalfa will require no further treatment in the fall, but can be dressed advantageously with a good coating of well rotted manure. It can be cut for hay the next season. * * * THE RESULT OF IRRATIONAL FEEDING. \ J. B., Blltch, Ga., writes: l hav 0 a mule about eight years old. I bought her about three years ago and have been working her on the farm since that time. There is something the matter with her. She is verv thin, but eats heartily and continues to get poorer. She will eat any kind of trash she can get. T feed her corn on th e ear, corn fodder, pearine hay and oats. She has a rumbling noise inside of her all the time and gets sick with something like colic Please give- m e a remedy for this trouble. Your mule is evidently suffering from a more or less chronic form of in digestion. The causes of this trouble are numerous but nearly all are due to errors In feeding. Some animals naturally have weak digestive organs while others are predisposed to this trouble. Anything that irritates the stomach or intestines favors the devel opment of this trouble. Foods that are not In a perfect condition such* as mouldy or dusty hay cause indiges tion. The exclusive feeding of corn is a common cause of this trouble. Worms are sometimes responsible for attacks of indigestion. Bad teeth ac count for it in other instances. The first thing for you to do, therefore, is to examine the feed and discard the mouldy or objectionable liay or corn, see that the teeth are in good condi tion, feed your mule regularly on a well balanced ration. Do not work your mule too hard or too soon after feeding. Water before and not after meals. Provide some green feed if pos sible. Work the mule regularly but not too vigorously. You will probably find the following medical , treatment helpful: Mix baking soda and powdered gentian in equal parts and give a heaping teaspoonful twice daily. This powder is best given by dissolving the above quantity in a half pint of water and administering as a drench. A good digestive tonic is prepared by mixing Glauber salts, two pounds; common salts, one pound, and; baking soda, one-half pound. Give a heaping teaspoonful in each feed. * * * PLANT FOOD IN CERTAIN FORM-, ULAS, S. A. H., Perkins. Ga., writes: 'What ! will 600 pounds of cotton sede meal, 100 I pouncle of 10 per cent acid phosphate and j 400 pounds of kaiult analyze? Or what will COO pounds of meal. SOO pounds ol’ acid ! phosphate, „ 400 pounds of kainit and 200 j pounds of potash make? My land is a J sandy loam with a mulatto subsoil. I want I to use a high-grade fertilizer. What would you suggest ? Six hundred pounds of cotton seedi meal, 1,000 pounds of 16 per cent acirl j phosphate and 400 pounds of kainit will j provide per ton approximately 37 pounds of nitrogen, 170 pounds of phosphoric; acid and 59 pounds of potash. These j figures are based on the fact that the; cotton seed meal is supposed to con- j tain 6.8 per cent of nitrogen, 2.5 per j cent of phosphoric acid and 1.5 per cent of potash. This formula would analyze! 1.8 per cent nitrogen, 8.7 phosphoric ! acid, 2.9 per cent potash. The second! formula suggested in your letter con- j tains per ton approximately 37 pounds of nitrogen, 143 pounds of phosphoric! acid and 159 pounds of ptash. The per centage composition would be 1.8 nitro gen, 7.2 phophoric acid, 7.9 per cent pot ash. Unless your land is extremely sandy and the cotton rusts badly there is no reason why you should use a for mula running so very high in potash. Personally we would be disposed to use the first formula but by substituting muriate of potash make it possible to increase the cotton seed meal by 200 pounds and the phosphoric acid by 100 pounds. In this way we think you will secure a formula much better adapted to your needs. If you follow this sug gestion you will secure a mixture ana lyzing 2.4 per cent nitrozen, 9.7 per cent phosphoric acid and 3.1 per cent potash. Used at the rate of 400 to 600 Fine type of draft mare. pounds per acre it should give you ex cellent resuts under cotton. * * ■* Mr. C. K., of Hemp, Ga.. writes: Will .you kindly let me know through The Semi- Weekly Journal what fertilizers, if any, are contained In sorghum cane stocks after they have been crushed through the cane mill. I have made my M.vrup and have forty or fifty loads of hulls or crushed stocks. I would like to find out their value as a fertilizer and how to obtain the best re sults fr^ mtbem. Sorghum bagassee contains about eleven pounds of nitrogen per ton. In so far as I have been able to study the history of this material I can not find any figures given for its content of phosphoric acid and potash. From this it is apparent, however, that the waste from a can mill is comparatively low in fertilizing constituents. We think, however, that on account of the defi ciency of vegetable matter in our soils that it would be well to haul it out and scatter it over the thin spots and either plow it under or disc it in. Several tons of it could be scattered on each acre of ground with advantage. You could also pile it up and compost it and use it in that way. It does not contain very much ip the way of animal nutrients so thdt for feed it would not be rated as ^f much value. It is pos sible of course to take material of this kind and run it in a silo while it is still fresh and use it as roughage to some advantage. When allowed to remain out in the open*it is likely to sour, ferment and rot and can not therefore be used as feed to much advantage un less preserved in some such manner as has been suggested. Canning Green Tomatoes Remove stems, wash, and drain the tomatoes. Pare them and remove all inedible parts. Slice or chop them and put in an acid-proof vessel, adding one level teaspoonful of salt for each pint of tomato. Set the vessel on the back of the dange or in a mild oven, where it will receive only a moderate amount of heat. Add no water, but allow the to matoes to cook in their own jujees, stirring occasionally to prevent stic». ing. They must cook until thoroughly done, not less than an hour. Have the jars sterilized and the rfb bers on. Keep them hot until the to matoes are ready; then fill the hot. jars with the hot fruit, seal tight and when cold wipe' and set away for future use. —Juaiata L. Sheppercft .

The advance in farm values, in other words, measures partly the increased value of the farm as a plant for the business of farming. That increment of value which Is due to those things that are described as social ad vantages or improved social conditions has no numerical measure. When his road is improved the land owner appreciates the improvement and frequently sets an increased value upon his land. It is difficult, however, to analyze the entire Increment of value which follows good roads. There is no doubt that the cost of good roads is met by some form of taxation, which, in many instances, causes the land owners to add to the selling price of their larid that amount which they estimate the good roads has cost them in taxes. This process is more distinctly ob served in city property transfers, where direct assessments for sewers, sidewalks and pavements are invariably added to the original cost of the property. The important point that is becoming more and more understood by land owners is that good roads require a considerable investment of capital, and furthermore that such an Investment is a paying one. Here are a few Instances of actual con ditions which have been observed in va rious parts of the country. I In Lee county, Virginia, a| farmer owned 100 acres between Ben Hur and Jonesville, which he offered to sell for $1,800. .Two or three years ago this road was improved, and although that farmer fought the Improvement, he has since refused $8,000 for his farm. Along this same road a, tract of 188 acres WAS supposed to have been sold for $8,000. The purchaser refused the contract and the owner threatened to sue him. After the road improvement, and without any improvements upon the land the farm was sold to the original purchaser for $9,000. In Jackson county, Alabama, the peo ple voted a bond Issue of $260,000 for road improvement and improved 24 per cent of the roads. The 1900 census gave the value of all farm lands In Jackson county as $4.90 per acre. The selling price at that time was from $6 to $15 per acre. The last census gives the value of Jackson county farm lands m as $9.79, and the selling price Is now from $15 to $26 per acre. The price of farm land, like that of| any other commodity, Is ruled by the* relation between supply and demand. When the price of farm la—i advances it measures a readjustment between the supply and the demand. This re adjustment, in some cases, Is sharp and immediatel. One distinct item of increased values is becoming more evident from year to year; that is. immigration into the rural districts The same road as shown in other Il lustration after improvement. where road conditions are favorable especially is this true with regard to owner’s of automobiles. There are repeated instances of this kind which have been active ill improving their roads. 900 Schools Teaching Agricul ture in One State One of the agricultural supervisors of Ohio has recently stated that after a year and a half of the law requiring agriculture to b e taught in the com mon schools of that state, more than 900 high schools are teaching agricul ture and more than a half milion boys and girls are studying the subject in the public schools. It is estimated that about 4,000 teach ers took work in agriculture in the summer schools last season. Mixed Farming Pays To the man of small capital poultry keeping and mixed farming afford the most promising means of making a comfortable livelihood.! Poultry may with advantage be kept by those en gaging in fruit growing and prove a valuable adjunct to the orchard by keeping down pests and fertilizing the ground; also proving a material source of income while the trees are coming into bearing. To engage exclusively tn fruit growing one is obliged to provide fo r the period from the setting out of the trees till thefy come Into bearing, thus requiring an income from other sources, while in mixed farming re turns may be counted on from the start. A few acres planted in small fruits, early vegetables, potatoes, carrots, on ions, cabbages, etc. with fowls some cows and pigs will give a man an as sured income the first season and will not interfere with his planting a vari ety of fruit trees which will become profitable later. Wheat on Corn Land A singular fact came to the atten tion of farmers of the north central states during harvest time. Whenever wheat had been sown onrcorn land the crop was much larger than on any oth er soil. Investigation hae shown this to be the case on so many farms that it is believed to be the universal rule. * It is, perhaps, fair to assume that in any scheme of crop rotation the intelli gent farmer looks to the advantage of thorough cultivation before anything else. Certainly he may with proprletj' be so advised. But the next wise step would be to let wheat follow com. When land plainly shows the need of a rest a couple of crops of clover, mil let or Canada peas serve the purpose. The farmer who is fitting cattle or hogj^ for market needs corn and other fodder, and he will find profit in this sort of di versification, perhaps far beyond what he can gain from raising wheat. ThJ whole argument is in favor of an intelli gent diversity of crops as well as a thorough cultivation/of the soil. CASTOR IA For Infanta and Children.
