Athens, Ga POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED IN THE MESIAL OF LAND Requests are frequently received • seeking Information about the rental M o.nd What should be considered fb the terms of a contract of this ’ How should the paper bo drawn up? What is the proper basis of dividing duties, responsibilities and profits? It is easy to see that a very large number of questions arise over matters of this character. Many of them are more or less of a techni cal nature and. therefore, difficult to answer satisfactorily. Many misun derstandings relative to the rental of lands could be avoided if all the prob lems connected with a task of this character were given wise and proper consideration at the time the agree ment is entered into. For the in fonnatlcn of our farmers there is presented below in condensed form some of the prime factors which should be taken into consideration in a specialist in farm management, who has given some years to the careful and detailed study of the rental proposition. The individual In 5 question is C. E. Allred, who is as sociated with the extension division of the University of Tennessee at * Knoxville. We recommend that our readers study the summary presented POTASH VERSUS “BOLLY” COTTON I So much “Bolly” cotton appeared last year that the Government Committee issued instructions that this inferior staple would not be accepted on Gov ernment contracts. The percentage of “Bolly” cotton this year is greater than last Technically this cotton cannot be tendered on future contracts. The lack of Potash causes “Bolly” cotton. Bolls do not mature before frost, and frequently cannot mature at all without this essential element The lint in such bolls is short and of inferior quality. Potash fertilizer will increase the number of bolls, enable the bolls and lint to fully develop instead of being stunted as is the case in “Bolly” cotton. Demand Potash fertilizers.

Otherwise the tenant might put most of the farm into fall-sown grain and thus make the farm a very undesirable proposition for a tenant the following year. 6 A clause preventing the pastur ing. stabling, or boarding of stock for outside parties. Otherwise the tenant could stable and feed stock for other parties and claim that he was only stabling them, and without THE ATLANTA REMI-WEEKfY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 18. 1018. cost. It might be hard to prove to the contrary. 7. What each is to furnish, and the taxes each is to pay. Without such statement the tenter could com pel the owner to pay all taxes on both real and personal property, in cluding the nersonal property of the renter. 8. If the renter is to haul ma terials from town for repairs and improvements on the farm it should be so stated. ■9. That the renter shall deliver all produce and live stock sold, in cluding the owner's share. 10. A statement as to how the renter shall care for the live stock and property of the owner. 11. No vegetable matter grown or brought on to the farm shall be burned, nor shall be spread on the farm as manure. 12. What is to be furnished joint ly by both parties, including the hiring of pasture and the purchase of feeds. 13. If the renter’s horses are to be fed from the undivided feed, they cannot, during the time that they ore being fed. be employed to work off the farm. Otherwise, the renter could feed his horses from the un divided feed and use them for team work off the farm. 14. The number of horses that may be used in working the farm should he limited. Also the lower limit for the ages of the work horses should be passed. Without these statements a man could purchase anil sell colts, or keep a larger number of horses than is necessary for the working of the farm and deal in horses. Colts could be purchased, and then grown on the farm, and sold with profit to the tenant and without the farm-owner sharing in increased returns from such growth. Colts, as well as other stock, where the share basis is the half-share basis, should be owned in common by both parties. 15. A method of appraisal of feeds on the farm at the time of the begin ning of the lease ana also at the ter mination of it. 16. Any special privileges to be granted to the tenant. Such as where he may obtain fuel, whether he is to have milk and eggs, etc. 17. Any special privileges for the owner. _ IS. The method of settlement for all sales. It is the best that set tlement be made at the end of each calendar month for all sales and pur chases made and paid for during that month. 19. A clause regarding the work manship of the renter and regarding the destruction of noxious weeds. 20. All manure in the stables and yards shall be cleaned out by the middle of February and again by the first of May of each year, and >n case this is not done, the renter shall pay SSO as penalty for such neg lect. 21. A clause regarding the sur render of the farm at the termination of the lease, with a penalty of $lO for each day of non-surrender. 22. The owner should reserve the right of entry to the premises for the purpose of viewing the same and making repairs, and also for plowing the land on which no crop is grow ing, during the fall and winter pre ceding the termination of the lease. 23. The renter should be rewarded for all permanent improvements made on the farm that have been made by and with the consent of the owner, provided he furnish the owner a bill of the same at the time the work is done. Payment for the im provements should be made on the basis that five years' use of them by the renter would compensate him for the work of making them. If he has had but one year’s use of the Improvements made he should re ceive four-fifths of the value of the bil rendered: three-fifths if he has had two years’ use of the improve ments, etc. Ruch clauses should ap ply to the application of ground lime and phosphate rock, building of fences, etc. 24. If from neglect or from any other cause the renter shall fail to put in or take off crops the owner mav enter and perform such work, and after allowing for the cost of same, the remainder shall be divided aceoidnig to the terms of the lease. 25. The division of proceeds from the farm s.iould be based upon the ratio of the actual money value of what landowner and tenant puts into the enterprise, allowing the landown er a lair interest rate on his invest ment, and the tenant a fair wage (or his work and fair interest on any in vestment. For example, if 5 per cent of the value of the farm and 10 per cent of the value of the equipment owned by the landowner amounts to $950, anil if the labor furnished by the tenant is worth s4s"' and the in terest on his equipment $240, totaling $690, then the landowner should re ceive 58 per cent of the net pro ceeds and the tenant 42 per cent. 26. A clause making a lien on crops, Jive stock and other personal property on the farm, owned by the renter, for the purpose of insuring payment of all moneys due the farm owner. Such a clause would work no hardship on the renter unless for some cause or other he was not in tending to play fair with the fa»m owner. 27. Neither party has the right to bind the other by contract out side the scope of the agreement; and the contract .shall not be interpret ed as constituting a partnership. In the above suggestions there is nothing that will interfere with the lawful operations of the tenant, and at the same time if the suggestions are followed out they provide pro tection against many worrying an noyances caused by a troublesome tenant. HOW TO HANDLE BUTABAGA TUB NIPS W. L. C.. Suwnnee. (In., writes: I have received a lot of valuable advice from the agricultural columns. I would like all the information you can give me on how to take care of rutabaga turnips for winter use. I planted them the 15th of July, and wish to store them so as not to lose any. Our plan of handling rutabaga tur nips has been as follows: Simply let them stay in the field and pick them as needed for use. We have been using them for some time past and they are improving in quality, flavor and sweetness every day. Rutabaga is essentially a cold climate crop. It will remain out all winter even in as cold climates as Canada and Scotland. It really improves after frost falls upon it. If one Is growing this crop commercially, of course, the pro cedure may be somewhat different, but even then we would gather them from the field as needed for shipment, as they are in finer and fr<*her condi tion when so handled and will keep better. Where an attempt is made to harvest this crop they should be gathered when as nearly mature as possible by pulling them out of the ground by the tops. The tops should then be cut off clean about half an inch above the crown. The dirt should he brushed off and the turnips carefully placed in baskets or boxes, preferably the latter. A box such as apples are shipped in is satisfac tory. These boxes may then be placed in outbuilding or anywhere where they will be cool. This is very im portant. Putting them in a warm cellar or under the house in a hot room will result in their shriveling up and possibly their frequent decay. Whenever stored provision should be made to cover them on excentionnHy cold nights, or during a sudden freeze or when the temperature might go down occasionally below freezing and remain so for several days. A good way to preserve them in the ground in case of a freeze of this character is to throw a little sand over them. Rutabagas, of 'course, mav be taken up and put in a pit, which is fire pared and handled very much as a bank for sweet potatoes. Most peo ple make the mistake of trying to keep this crop too hot, however, thereby causing its decay. We prefer to handle it for household use here in Georgia in the manner indicated. A Good Reclne for Curing Meats E. F. P.. Vienna. Ga.. writes: I would like to know the best way of curing meat. 1 am anxious to try the sugar cure method. Row long should meat hang before sacking? We have ten acres of ground nnd have set out 125 peenn trees and 125 peach trees. I nni anxious to set out about 100 apples if advisable. Do you think they will do well in our climate? There is no reason why you should not cure meat by the brine method safely and acceptably. Before you undertake the curing it is very nec essary that the meat be thoroughly cooled. If the weather is warm when the animals are slaughtered the meat should be chilled at once to avoid its becoming tainted. Under such circumstances it may often be neces sary to use ice. and when this is done it is generally best to break it up in pieces, weighing about a pound and pack it closely between the cuts of meat. When the meat is thorough ly cooled to the bone it is then ready to place in cure. Brine for curing should be made as follows: First, secure a receptacle large enough to contain the meat to be cured. A hardwood barrel or hogs head thoroughly cleansed with boil ing water will do very well for this purpose, though Large earthen jars would be more desirable. The larger cuts should be packed at the bot tom. For each 100 pounds of meat use 8 pounds of salt, 4 pounds of brown sugar or molasses, and 3 pounds of salt peter. Put these ma terials in four gallons of water that has been thoroughly cleansed with boiling water will do very well for this purpose, though large earthen Thl» Five Passenger 35 H. P. ear. 116 In.

For each 100 pounds of meat use 8 pounds of salt, 4 pounds of brown sugar or molasses, and 3 pounds of saltpeter. Put these ma terials in four gallons of water that has been thoroughly boiled and cool ed. Cover the meat with this brine and place a weight on top to keep all the pieces covered. Allow the meat to cure in the brim for ten days to two weeks Then take it out and reverse the order in wtu.h the pieces were placed in the rcep tacle. If the brine becomes reduced by the heat add more as desired. Should the brine become stringy or sour remove the meat at once, re boil the brine and cool, or replace by fresh brine. It generally takes about 30 to 40 days to cure bacon strips and hams 45 to 60 days. After removing from the brine, if a mild cure is desired, allow the meat to lie for several hours in fresh water which has been thoroughly boiled and cooled. The meat is then ready to smoke. Smoking is best accomplished through the use of hard wood, es pecially hickory. Liquid smoke is not desirable As soon as the meat has been thoroughly smoked it may properly be wrapped in paper and burlap. The dry curing process you are no doubt familiar with. Dry curing meat is considered by many to be the most desirable method of curing and handling pork for human con sumption. With regard to planting fruit trees in your section of the state, I am disposed to think that apples would not prove as satisfactory commer daily as farther north. Probably you can grow figs to good advantage. There is a good demand for preserved figs, and they, as you know, make one of the most desirable of the preserved fruits we produce in Geor gia. The hardier varieties should certainly do well in your section ana escape without a considerable amount of winter killing, which befalls this crop almost every winter farther north. THIS HOG NEEDS A MORE VARIED RATION J. C. A., Woolsey, Ga., writes: I have a hog in fine condition to kill, but about a week ago I found her down in her hind parts. She can only stand on her fore legs, and although she eats heartily she gets no better. Would it be safe to kill the hog in this condition and eat the meat? I judge from the description con tained in your letter that there is nothing the matter with your hog except the fact that she has been confined for some time in a small or close pen and fed on an improperly balanced ration, ft is not unusual for hogs which are fattened under such conditions to break down in the hind quarters. This is due to the lact that the bones become so weak that they are unable to support the carcass. This condition arises, as a rule, from confining hogs either in very small pens with dirt floors, or in pens with wood floors- Bones, as you understand, contain mineral salts in considerable quantity, and when hogs are confined and so pre vented from gathering part of their food off the range, or when they are ted say on a ration of eoi’n alone they do not secure enough mineral matter to keep the bones in proper condition. Coin, as you doubtless know, is low not only in ash matter but in protein as well. In handling this hog, therefore, you should pro ceed at once to provide her with all the mineral matter she needs. Vari ous mixtures may be used for this purpose, but there is probably noth ing better than a mixture of one bushel of charcoal, one bushel of wood ashes, 8 pounds air slacked lime, 8 pounds common salt, 4 pounds sulphur and 2 pounds of pul verized copperas. These materials should then be placed in a box in the open pen where the hog is con fined. The anima] will eat such amounts of this mineral matter as the system may require. In addition you should discontin ue the use of corn alone. If you feed it use only one-third corn along say with tv.’o-thirds shorts, middlings or shipped stuff. Also see that the slops, if any are fed, are free from soap powders and broken dishes or glass. This is a very important mat ter and should receive your immedi ate attention and consideration. By following out the suggestions given above you should be able to effect a cure in a short time. In any event, if that is all that is the matter with your hog there is no reason why you should not slaughter and cure it for meat, as the animal is in no wise diseased if it is simply broken down in the hind quarters by reason of improper nourishment of the bony framework. Cotton Suitable for 801 l Weevil Ter ritory A. I’., Wray, Ga., write: What i your opinion on planting Brown’ No. 1 cot ton where there I boll weevil? If you think ome other variety would give bet ter reult, I would like to have the name. Brown’s No. 1 cotton has been tested in our demonstration plats for a number of years past. It has always made a fairly good record, though not making as high yields as other varieties which we have tested at different times. We are disposed to think that Brown’s No. 2 has probably made a better record all in all than Brown’s No. 1, and, therefore, w'e would favor its plant ing on that account over No. 1. Os all the varieties of cotton we have tested for growth under boll weevil conditions we are disposed to think that they will stand in about the following order as to earliness and general satisfaction for growth un der such conditions: College No. 1. Trice. Sunbeam, Cleveland’s Big 8011, Hooper's, Caldw-ell, Toole, Cook’s. Poulnot, Dixie. Brown’s No. 2. and Culpepper. These varieties will give varying results under dif ferent soil and climatic conditions, but are all good standard sorts of cotton. Under one man's handling Culpepper may make as good a yield The Country Home Timely Topics CONDUCTED BY MBS. W. H. FELTON Supers title ma As I looked up in the sky, this late afternoon, 1 saw the young new moon hanging in the sky, one point of the crescent a little lower than the other. Instinctively I thought, •‘this will be a wet moon, It will spill water.” Then I thought, “I ougnt to have a little money in my pocket to make the good luck come.” Somewhere and some time in the long ago, I was told these things, and 1 am sure to remember them. The old darky servants always kept such things in mind. One said to me, ’’Why, missus, it does bring good luck; you watch It.” I replied, "What’s to be done when you have no money?" “Oh. I fool it by shak ing my keys at it.” There are lots and lots of people who put off beginning a job if it is Friday. You will hear, “Get your things together; it’s bad luck to go back after you have started." To break a looking glass is a sign of death in the family. For a bird to fly in and fly out of the house means sudden accident—meybe death. To put your stocking on wrong side out. bj- accident brings good luck. A popping fire spells trouble, etc., etc. Away back, maybe in benighted Africa,’ some of these things had their origin, but ghost stories and such like started with white folks as well as with negroes. Nevertheless, these things will cling to vou, or we would not re member them instantly, as for in stance my recollection of what the new moon might do. if there was no money in my pocket, and the moon getting ready to spill water. A North Carolina Writer Conover, N. C., Dec. 4, 1918. Mrs. W. H. Felton. My Dear Mrs. Felton: I know you will not be surprised to get a letter from a stranger, as I am sure you receive many letters from people that you never have seen. But we all love you and think you are such a dear, good lady and want to tell you and not just think about you and never tell you how we appre ciate your Timely Topics. It’s re markable that a lady of your age can write so brilliantly. I always look for the dear little picture of you in The Journal for the first thing when we get the paper, though the last few papers have omitted the picture, though I find Topics all right and you can’t imagine how 1 enjoy reading them. Your reproduction of the Civil war times was very interesting to me. I was seven years old at out break of that war and remember something about the hardships of that war. Everything you write is so interesting to me. I am so glad that the German war is over and that we have hopes of peace. I have a very dear nephew in France and hope he will get back to his native country'. I live on a farm near the Catawba river, a mile from Oxford’s Ford. I am inclosing a self-addressed en velope for a few of the althea seed, if I am not too late. If I’m. too late I thank you very much anyhow for your very graciousness. I hope you will have a nice Christmas, and if I am here I’ll be wishing you a merry Christmas and everything good. May God bless you. Yours sincerely, MRS. C. S. L. A NEW TEXT FOR A NEW SER MON It is hard to get ahead of a preach er who delights in sensations. I have been informed that a preacher is entertaining big congregations by explaining what it meant when the world war came to an end in the eleventh month and the eleventh day and the eleventh hour in the day. Germany surrendered in November, on the eleventh day and at eleven o'clock in the morning. The preach er told the audience to go home, get their Bibles, find the Book of First Kings, turn to the eleventh chapter and the eleventh verse and read what they would find. When I heard It I hunted up First Kings, eleventh chapter and eleventh verse, and this is what I read: “Whereupon, the Lord said unto Sol omon, ’Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I Will surely send the kingdom from thee and give it to thy servant.’ ” It is a long jump from King Solo mon to William —lately the kaiser— but it certainly did take a powerful bright preacher to find out any close analogy between Solomon and Wil liam —with the number eleven play ing trumps in the game—between the two. But it does look like the elevens are powerful in football games. Why not witli thrones and crowns? May be there will be some more kings knocked over before the war game is ended! A Blessing for Grandmother Evans, Ga., Nov. 28, 1918. Dear Grandmother Felton: Today is Thanksgiving day and I am sure we all have a lot to be thankful for. We have five boys and one little girl: two of the boys were in this last call, but thanks to our Heavenly Father, I hope it’s all over. Bless your soul and body! I do love to read your writings. I always read it first, and I did want some of your flower seed very bad, but it seemed like Imposing on you, so many send ing in after them, but I saw in the last Journal that you had some more and I told my little girl I would write you and ask you to please send us a few. Now, if It be that vre are too late, don’t trouble your dear mind about it. We can wait for an other time. I do wish I could see yov and talk with you, as I am not much on writing. I do the best I can. So may God bless the Semi- Weekly’s grandmother always. With best wishes for your happiness. Yours sincerely, JI RS. B. N.

Australians Planning Air Route to London LONDON, Dec. 11.—(British Wire less Service.) —Australian commer cial and financial interests are mak ing plans to connect Australia with London and other parts of the Brit ish empire by commercial airplanes. A company already has been formed to finance the survey of an aerial route to London byway of Sydney and Port Said. The possibilities of flying from the commercial point of view are dealt with in a report issued by the civil aerial transport committee. Teh report foreshadows the time when the airplane will compete with the telegraph, the postofiice and the rail ways. It is declared that nearly five hours could be saved between Lon don and Paris, one day between Lon don and Turin, twelve days between London and Calcutta and thirteen days between London and Johannes burg, South Africa. The committee recommends the Im mediate formation of a special branch of the government air service com mencing on a "modest scale under the air ministry to insure that all preliminary action will be taken without delay.” 160 Hens —1500 Eggs Mrs. H.
