Soule, president State Agri cultural College. Athens. Ga. The Service Work of Our Colleges. Previous to the outbreak of the war our agricultural and mechanical colleges supported out of state and federal funds had won their way into the affections ot I the people. The) were recognized as constituting one of the great construc tive forces m the service of the state and the nation. They furnished a very considerable per cent of our scientifical ly trained workers in agriculture, man ufacturing and engineering industries. Through the military training whic: constitutes a part of their curriculum they prepared for service thousands upon thousands of men who since th« declaration of war have been called into the various training camps and inten sively prepared for military leadership. It is literally true that the majority of the officers of our national army and a verv considerable per cent of those associated with our other forces re ■ ceived their college education and at least their elementary military training in the colleges of agriculture and me chanic arts scattered throughout th« forty-eight states of the union Had it not been for these institutions the train Ing of an officer in our national army would indeed have been an appalling task Therefore, we owe a debt of grat Itude to these institutions which is even now not fully appreciated but which certainly will be as time elapses. More over the students and graduates these institutions have made a responi* not only to the needs of the army but to the navy and all the associated lines <t • service incident to the organization of a great effective land and sea-fightinc force. In Georgia, for instance, the State College of Agriculture, though but ten years old, has sent 43 per cent of it. faculty. 27 per cent of its graduate? and 34 per cent of its enrolled men for the year 1917-1918 to the army and nav« of the United States. There are la’ stars in its service flag, and 90 per cen of its graduates are serving the state o: Georgia. The important fact in thi% connection to bear in mind, therefore, if that in addition to providing leadershir to the fighting forces of the United States in the manner indicated above, it is also largely concerned in helping to hold the second line trenches by en couraging food production and conserva tion through the service its graduates are rendering the state at this time. Os all the graduates who have received training at this institution in the last decade 95.5 per cent are engaged in ag ricultural pursuits and one-fourth o dnWuRTiRES K\/\ Ma-ufar-urers of high- K,( I wrade liree sell us their ; fT’ljHmi aurp'OT at 'rks of "FIRSTb ' (Y SvlaSi S»rir t w. ,, LirYou /\/\ PSfMRB these brand new Time as I f Y r\/\ / Bl* Gaaraateed ( \ \ pV - * S,2E p, » l " TBb ” At' »* 45 *«• 49 R•“ P/x/’WflwH *»3 x *° A n BKm SZXS ILSO i:.45 3.10 '/X/N iIRMHH 3083 1-3 12 30 13 *5 3.15 AA/ 3183 1-3 11.10 14-40 3.30 Y X < 13x3 13 14 30 10 30 3.40 </\/N UKOWI 34x3 1-8 18.10 10 TO 4.15 A,\ 31x3 10 30 30.45 4.35 I'/ .C WW 'I 3ZX4 10.70 31.10 4.35 YA? 21 - 4 S 443 V / 3«» 4 »<» S*- 8 ® 435 UN/ X \v 7/7 15x4 31 05 33 05 5.30 3M4 ZSS'J 33 50 s.:<s y ,4x4 1-3 30 #0 39.35 5.00 15x4 1-2 30.10 30.70 5.70 30x4 1-2 30.00 31.15 5.5"« 37x4 1-2 32 05 35.00 0.70 35x5 30.00 33.50 O.X, Mxs 33.55 30.75 T.« 3 37x5 3X70 X 5.65 7.15 TboUMr.de of our talked euat-mers are aetuini from 4 MM let i CA' truiea Itnxt -wh> not >OU.’ Pay Aftar Eia»iaati->a. 3 P« C«at Olacouet ter Cash With OrOar.

In this- connection it is well to pause and survey the situation and look into the future for a few minutes because the present war is one based entirely on science, and its successful outcome will therefore be determined by the na tion which has the hugest amount of raw resources at its command and can organize and utilize -these to the best advantage. Therefore, skilled leader ship in every field is a matter of mo mentous importance at thts time. Such 1 success as attended Germany s effort was through her superiority at the out . set in organization and trained leader ship. There is a desperate battle be fore us, therefore, to maintain our quota of trained men and women in this coun try tn order that the men at the fight ing front may be properly supported and in order that we may have an adequate supply of trained leaders upon the conclusion of the war. Get us consider, therefore, what Geor gia’s part in this undertaking should be. We should be prepared to imme diately put one home demonstration | agent, one home economics teacher, one county agent and at least one vocational agricultural teacher in each county of, the state. Some of the counties now , wishing to take advantage of the Smith- Hughes act are already calling for three , vocational agricultural teachers and : they are not available. Georgia needs almost immediately 60S men and women especially trained to render the service work indicated above. Do our people I fully realize and understand the impor tant and essential nature of this mat ter. or are they forgetting the need for trained leaders in the present and the future owing to the temporary disloca tion of cur mental processes by reason of the undue excitement and restless ness which the outbreak of the war has produced? It is well under these circumstances to pause for a minute and consider the situation. We are advised by President Wilson and by the secretaries of war. naw and agriculture- that all institu tions of higher learning should be lib erally patronized by those who are ready to enter upon their courses of training, but who by reason of age are still too young for military service. The ad monition of these savants should be taken seriously and every boy who is sixteen rears of ape and has the nee essarv qualifications should enter some institution of higher learning this fall. It Is particularly desirable that take up vocational work, because the need is for scientifically trained men in order that our home industries may be properly maintained and developed and our fighting forces sustained on an efficient basis as well. There is no higher patriotic duty and no greater oportun’ty for service, therefore, open to the young men of Georgia than to fake up courses of instruction of the -haracter indicated. we have been told that "food will win he war." and it is still one of the most .nportant slogans which has been evolv ed bv reason of the great struggle. If this be true it is very necessary that we train leaders in order that we may be able to make the most of every sit uation which confronts us. It is only through skillful service that we will be able to make our decreasing supply of labor go around and our limited amount of fertilizing materials serve acceptably. There should be a normal attendance on all Institutions of higher learning next faJl. therefore The peo ple of Georgia and the south are pros perous and they are well able to give their sons the training for leadership which they should be privileged to have. This may entail some sacrifice. Sup •>ose it does cost a little more. The war is not won yet and your boy is entitled to not only the best prepara tion whkh you can give him before he goes to the fighting front if that be his destiny, but the state is entitled to the best leadership he can offer to her should peace be declared and his serv ices not needed at the fighting front. The State College of Agriculture has a state for a campus and is responsible, therefore, for aiding and promoting the welfare in some measure of nearly three million people. It can not perform this essential service except through the aid of the men it is capable of training. There are. for instance, 25,000 members of the boys and girls canning, corn, poultry, pig and calf clubs. There are at least 25.000 adults carrying on va rious demonstrations. The correspond ence with farmers and their wives reaches the total of between fifty and one hundred thousand letters annual ly. It requires a lot of service to reach and aid these people effectively and there are still thousands which might be enrolled were there trained men and women enough available to perform the necessary work. There are at present 250 county agents of which 112 are wom en. but in thia connection it is impor tant to remember that there are still forty counties in Georgia without agents, I The conduct of the soil survey, the de velopment and extension of our live stock industries, the diversification of our crops and the improvement of our farme through better management and crop diversification are all great eco- | nomii’ problems to be maintained and . finally solved through the service of trained leaders which must be educat- I ed through the agency of institutions 1 su«-h as the State College of Agricul- | lure. Remember that an institution of this kind Is engaged almost exclusively in 1 service work for the state and the gov ernment Its first duty is to aid in , all matters relating to the production n f food This is a problem which affects ■ the welfare of every individual. It is ■to determine the amount of fighting rehich this country must do and the part vhich its allies will be able to carry n effectively. The distribution of ni- ; •ate of soda, for instance, was last ear placed la the hands of the county | eent. They are the chief advisers of i the farmer in the ues of fertilizers, j Therefore, they are in position to exert ■ •i most important influence on the de- • lopment of our agriculture along pro-: fitable lines. The college also aids’ through its co-operative organizations ini making farm surveys, determining the nature and extent of the acreage of the various essential foods which must I be produced in the state to meet the, I demands of the occasion. It is also' concerned In .helping solve the labor! proposition through the surveys which t its agents make and through the in struction and more general use of labor- , 1 saving implements This Institution is responsible for the ■ preparaton and distribution of the basic ’ literature on which a better farm prac tice and a more thorough economic or sarizatlbn of our homes is to be predi- I "ated. It constitutes the agricultural ' clearing house of the state. It provides the leadership in agriculture essential : to success. If its activities are lessen ed or stopped then the flow of essential information ceases. It is like a great spring at the head of a river sending out a constant flood of information for JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA. THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1918. the enlightenment and uplift of the community. If the spring should drj up the river dwindles to a brooklet and finally ceases to flow. <»ur agriculture would be affected in the same way if the service work of the college of agri culture were minimized beyond a cer tain degree. In this connection it is important to remember that Germany has produced 10,000 substitutes since the war began, and we must know how to mee and deal with every one of these if we are to compete successfully with her on the conclusion of the war. There fore along the lines of agriculture and domestic science constitute an essential part of the service work which must be performed in the interest of the state and nation at this time, and this article is written solely for the purpose of attracting the attention of young men and women to the opportunities which are afforded them for preparing them selves for acceptable leadership. :js :Js :-s This Bation Needs to Be Balanced Up iiubscriber, Iteynolds, Ga., writek: 1 have recently come into pomnession of a cow which wan recommended to me for a good one. which I think is true, but she wil eat nothing hut grass or something green. Her ration has been principally velvet beans and peavine hay, but she has been doing well on it until lately. She has a fine heifer calf a month old. Her hoofs are growing long. Any information will be appreciated. Cows, like human beings, sometimes get tired of a ration and like a change. You may feed a man on the choicest bacon, corn bread and sweet potatoes, but after a while he will get tired and like tie little boy who was fond of biscolts ask that they be made in some different style just for a change. The greater variety you can provide in a ration the higher its degree of palata bility, the larger amount of the food, therefore, likely to be consumed, and the more milk and butter obtained. The cow is simply a machine to wh!ch we feed raw materials and thereby obtain a highly finished product in the form of milk. Milk is one of the most wholesome, desirable and easily digested of foods. It is one of the most valuable additions to the dietary provided it is properly handled after it is drawn. Therefore, we should study the cow as a machine and try to feed her so as to stimulate milk production. To this end there should be a large amount of green feed in the ration. Give her a good pasture in the summer and in the winter provide her with green feed by grazing her on cereal crops such as rye. When the pastures become short in the summer supply her with green feed by cutting young sorghum, corn or other czops which grow at that season of the year. Peavine hay and velvet beans are both rather rich In protein. While a cow likes food containing this element in abun dance, she becomes surfeited with nitro gen in the course of time and it is bet ter therefore, to vary ,t ration of this character by adding foods of the char acter suggested. It is plain also that you are keeping your cow confined or else the hoofs would not be growing long. You should turn her out at once. Cowl will walk normally several miles a day in gath ering food. The ground over which rney travel grinds and keeps the hoofs in good condition and at a normal size. We suggest that in addition to the ration you are feeding you give some green feed of the character indicated, and that you buy a sack of brand and a sack of corn meal and make up your ration of equal parts of each of these constituents and feed at the rati of 1.5 pounds per 100 pounds of IfVe weight. Sometimes a dose of Epsom salts will help to stimulate the secretion and im prove the < irculation of the blood, a matter essential In obtaining the high est production of milk. ♦ * * Combating the 801 l Weevil. A. J. 8., Blackshear, Ga., writes: Two or three weeks ago the weevil was rather bad in this section, bnt the farmers cultivated rapidly and had the punctured squares picked up, and now they are not nearly so had. Is tills a good sign or nnt, and will they become bad again after rain seta in? There are a few grown bole now What might we expect them to do later in the season? The fact that our people made a very vigorous tight on the boll weevil In the early part of the season has, no doubt, lessened the damage which it would have other done in your section of the state. Your farmers acted wisely in | cultivating rapidly and picking up the | punctured forms as fast as they fell. I The falling off in the weevil at this time is no doubt due In some measure i to these protective measures. I also imagine that the weather has he?n rather hot and dry lately. This is not favorable to the boll weevil. Conditions portrayed in your letter are not favorable for the boll weevil, j but of course If rain sets in the weevil would likely become very bad again. You must, therefore, fight this pest with the utmost vigor until the bolls are grown and practically beyond the stage where damage will result to them through weevil attacks. Another thing, if you cultivate your cotton late in the season and keep it growing and setting on forms, the weevils will go to these by preference and will probably find a i sufficient amount of food therein to maintain them. Hence, the old bolls which are fairly well formed and de veloped at this time can In this way be protected from further damage Very much depends now on whether you con tinue an effective campaign against the weevil and the weather conditions which follow. If you have a hot. dry season from now on. the damage from weevil* will likely be greatly minimized. On the other hand, if you have a warm. | murky, wet spell for several weeks be- ' tween now and harvest, they are very likely to increase rapidly and the dam age to the crop be greatly accentuated thereby. * * A The Bast Mathod of Applying Soda to Cotton D. G. R.. (Ww>, 8. C., writes: 1 wish some information in regard to applying soda to cotton. Do von think July 15 Is too late to use It? I think I will get some govern ment soda in a few days, and wish to use* it if it is not too late. In a dry season where growth of .your cotton has not been particularly vigor ous. there is reason to believe that an application of nitrate of sado made as late as July 18 may prove helpful to the crop. I think this Is quite as late, however as this element could be used, even on rather backward cotton. As a matter of fact, most of our land is defi cient In nitrogen, hence the use of nitrate of soda or oth»r carriers of thisj element. It is desirable that you provide the crop with a considerable amount of es sential plant fond in some quickly avail able form. We would advise that you use Tfih pounds of this clement and that vnu get it on to the soil as soon as pos sible. It should, of course, he used strictly as a ton application We would put it on the side of the drill row, hut not directly in contact with the stem of the cotton nlant. Tn a very protracted <?rv sneff it might pav' to harrow it Into th" •rrourd bv means nf a licht form of cultivator which could he operated sue cessfnllv between s he cotton rows. Tt is preferred that nitrate of soda even when used as a ton dressing ho applied earlier In the season tp most crops. G»n the other hand upland cotton. which is somewhat late, reo’tlnos n lot of fond tn develop It sueoessf’illv In a enmnarn tivolv short time. T’nder some conditions nitrate nf soda meets the needs tn better advantage j than anvthlng else which can he used JTenee where conditions such as re hove portrayed nertain we would be disposed to advise Its pse even as late in the season as July 15. .I Dear Children; I will have to postpone the description of the “Property Bags,’’ as I have been unable to make the drawing, but we have our pillows to think of and our “Surgical Dressing Fund,” so that will keep us busy. Just wish you were all right here with me, so we could read all these fine letters and enjoy them together.

No. ’l. Box 23. Travel X>ess on Railroads Some of us poor folks are remember ing the good times we had when we could go to Atlanta for less than a dollar, only two cents a mile. Now we can’t make the going and coming for less than three dollars. It surely counts, just as you write fewer letters when it takes ten cents to buy five postal cards, and nearly ten to mai’- three letters. If you travel inside a Fullman car, you pay three cents and a half. The tact that passenger rates must be three cents is going to make a difference in revenues. Many tour ists will cut out long trips. Conven tions will not be so largely attended Transcontinental trips, costing twice as much as formerly, will be curtailed. Railroad employes will have it all right, no matter how often and with no regard to distance, on free passes, but the plain taxpayer will do a great deal of staying at home, and considerable thinking. We are told that all the cars are needed for transportation of soldiers and carrying supplies. The people who must go will go. of course, tut the summer excursion witn summer rates will be cut out. There is one comfort in all this starving busi ness, you have (like misery) just plenty of company. And again, all the dema gogues that have been screaming for government ownership of the railroads have a surfeit of what does happen when the government runs the rati roads. It is an eye-opener. It hasn’t been so long ago that the people who bought mileage books were telling the dear public that the railroads were simply robbing the people. We can understand with clearer vision that two cents a mile was very good riding, and with extra good attention We will see what we shall see, “when this cruel war is over,” that the rail road people were not as black as painted. Don’t Forget It I am writing this on July 31. last day of the month. Five months from today we will be giving a good-bye shake to the year 1918. How time flies’ There are just five months and taxes are to be settled for, coal to buy. win ter-clothes: provisions gathered for the hard winter months, and bedding over hauled to keep the kiddies warm in cold nights, debts to pay, crops to be sold to pay the debts, and only five months to do it in! Don’t forget It! This is one of the times, if you con clude to sit down and rest, you will find yourself slipping backward. There Is no time or place to quit doing things that actually must be done, and the les son for us to learn good and wholesome is to be up and doing—"for the night Fyouc/m err rco™mow 3" fireproof- TOFITARI WTIPtMYIUI L- /Jt ii ?riu r £ CAIi’T RUST n, a as wood ■ iouse, iius OR sums k «p «.t th. ££• I “Send ire 20 rcrarw ‘EvrrwvsP Rcxlwc—to rail Cutting Fhiare givan with every urdar.

Buy from a concern that has had years of experience with all kinds of tractors and power machines for the farm. A tractor can be considered safe only when it has been tested and tried, on thousand of farms, under every combi nation of soil and climate conditions, and has given a satis- ( factory account of itself everywhere. International, Mogul and Titan Kerosene Tractors, , as sold today, have over 12 years of tractor manufacturing, experimental, and field*service behind them. These sizes and types are the ones that have stood every test. Beyond question these are safe tractors to buy. They all 1 K operate successfully on kerosene and other low-grade fuels. ■ They are sold by a concern that has sold for years ail kinds of satisfactory machines to be operated by tractor power, thus , J assuring good work at both ends of the drawbar and belt. We invite investigation and comparisons. See the local dealer who sells our tractors, or write us for complete informa tion about a safe tractor to buy for the work on your farm.

OTT j ? conieth when no man can work.” Just so it was in Civil war times, or more so. We started in that ruckus expecting to scare the enemy into silence. I hardly think there were a half dozen in our section that counted for having a real fight. Indeed they told us it would all be over in less than three months. But it was not over in thirty-three months, by a good many more months than that number. Those who are counting on the end of the present war within 1918 or even 1919 will do well to think as little about it as they can, conveniently. Don’t for get it! As the war goes on, the sup plies to be bought for families will get i fewer and higher priced. Don’t waste your money in trlSiHg ’ things. Get the substantial, if you are ‘ able to do so. One capable manager ■ told me tha.t it would be wise to get I some extra shoes and as much warm j underwear as possible and lay in a sur • plus. I expect that advice is good. Don’t forget it. So long as one can keep well and able to wait on one’s self we can live from hand to mouth, but generally there are rainy days and sometimes sickness, occasionally death. So far as you are able, prepare for all these things. Don't forget it!
