AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
.tow the Farm Bureau i» Helping the
Cause
Below will be foun"’. some concrete
examples of what the Farm Bureau
has done in several counties to pro
mote the welfare of those interested
in the cultivation of the soil and the
production and sale of animals and
farm crops. We have had county
agents for some years past and they
have done a wonderful work. In
many instances, however, they have
bedn left in a large measure by the
community to work out their own
salvation. The Farm Bureau is a
plan devised to give the agent the
backing and support of the communi
ty in which he works. It Is also an
organization designed for one pur
pose only, namely that of co-ordinat
ing the efforts of the farmers and
the various business interests in a
county and in developing community
spirit organization and workers.
Thus the needs of any particular sec
tion of the county can be given the
consideration which they merit,
brought to the attention of the cen
tral committee and the agent sup
ported and aided in putting into ef
fect whatever operations may be
necessary to accomplish the end in
view. By this arrangement the in
terest and support of a large num
ber of people is won to the work
of the agent, and the sentiment of
the community as an entity put be
hind an enterprise calculated to ad
vance its interests.
That this is the character of or
ganization which should be fostered
and encouraged in every county is
evidenced by the facts recited below.
It is quite clear that a farm bureau
may be made the means of confer
ring great benefits on any community
in which it operates. The agent, as
the paid representative of the state
through the Georgia State College of
Agriculture and of the United States
government through the College of
Agriculture, is on the job all the
time, and through the medium of the
concentration of effort which is pro
vided for through the agency of the
Farm Bureau he can accomplish sev
eral times as much for the benefit
of the county as he would be able
to do were he unaided.
Organize a Farm Bureau
If you have not organized a Farm
Bureau in your county the time is
ripp to do so. Get in touch with
your county agent and he will fur
nish you with the plans and informa
tion- necessary and the college will
gladly co-operate with you in in
stituting this new and highly bene
ficial organization, the object of
which is solely to promote the wel
fare of those who own, operate and
cultivate land.
One: The Farm Bureau Advisory
Board in Oconee county at the bp
ginning of this year realized a nefed
for encouraging better cattle in the
county. The county agent told therm
the best way to begin this would be
through the calf club members. It
became necessary to secure funds to
go outside of the county to purchase
the right kind of calves for these
boys, but the fathers of the boys did
not see the importance of the agent’s
suggestion to put up the money nec
essary to bring the calves in, a.nd the
Farm Bureau Advisory Board mem
bers obligated themselves to get the
funds to do this. They waited on
one of the bankers of the town, and
with the county agent put the prop
osition before him so that he could
not afford to turn it The
advisory board members became re
sponsible for the money to the bank
er, and the county agent with this
money and the help of the special
ist from the college bought the
calves. When the calves -were brought
in several of the boys paid for them
as they received them. Others gave
their notes to the advisory board of
the Farm Bureau. The banker was
so well pleased with this arrange
ment that he suggested the use of
the fund for other such purposes,
and the fund is now being used
through the advisory board for what
they call a revolving fund for the
purpose of bringing in better cattle,
better hogs, better seeds and the
like. This is just one effort of the
advisory board of this county this
year which is getting results.
Two: In Gwinnett at a meeting
of the advisory board of the Farm
Bureau early in the year the sub
ject of marketing was mentioned at
this meeting. The advisory board
members together with the county
agent agreed upon a marketing ex
change system which would apply
throughout the county. This system
has been operating during the year
at a saving in the purchase and sale
of articles mainly within the county.
The system is like this: The county
agent furnishes to the committeemen
throughout the county cards ar-

ranged in a blank form on which
these committeemen may list arti
cles that they themselves or their
neighbors have for sale. These cards
are sept to the county agent, who
has them worked up into a market
ing exchange sheet twice a month
and redistributed to the committee
men throughout the county. This
sheet shows the things that the men
have for sale, also the things want
ed, and by this plan the farmers
throughout the county have been
able to buy from other farmers
throughout the county in a good
many instances the things they need
ed without going outside of the
county for them. This little system
is now being developed into a broader
marketing system and better plans
for co-operation. This perhaps is
the best piece of work that this
county' farm bureau has been able
to get started this year.
Three: In Coweta county, before
the American Cotton association was
formed, the advisory board of the
Farm Bureau of that county had
started plans for marketing their
cotton co-operatively, as well as un
dertaking an effort towards financ
ing the crop. This, we think, is a
worthy effort on the part of tiffs
farm bureau. Another matter which
is being emphasized is the cultivation
of legumes. As a result of this con
certed effort more crimson clover is
being grown than in any other coun
ty In the state, and the farmers are
saving a good many crimson clover
seed this season which are being dis
tributed through the farm bureau
over the county. ■
One of the Results
Four: It had been many years
since a carload of hogs had been
shipped out of Troup county, but
when the farm bureau was started
at the beginning of this year the
advisory board of the farm bureau
with the committeemen, which were
distributed the county,
took a hog census of the county.
This was accomplished in just a few
days’ time, and it was found that
there were enough hogs of the right
size, if fed out, to enable them to
offer a carload of the best grade for
sale. The county agent then through
the advisory board members of the
farm bureau and the committeemen
secured the pledges of enough hogs
to be fed out to make the sale "cer
tain. The advisory board with the
agent then agreed upon the date of
sale about sixty days later. The col
lege furnished the county agent the
aid of a specialist, and on the sale
date the specialist from, the college
graded and auctioned the hogs to
the buyers present. The price given
was .the highest price that hogs had
brought in Georgia up to that time.
It was the co-operation extended by
the farmers through the farm bureau
of the county which accomplished
this result.
Five: Dooly county had a good
county agent for two or three y:ars
until the first of this year. No ef
forts, however, had been made to
ward perfecting a farm bureau in
the county. Many of the leading
farmers of the county were anxious
to have a county agent, but the com
missioners, especially one of tlie
number, ould not see the necessity
for appropriating money to co-oper
ate with the college and the depart
ment to provide the necessary fund's
to pay the right kind of a man to
be their county agent. The district
agent suggested to these progressive
farmers the organization of a farm
bureau, and indicated how the bu
reau should be started. These men
became interested and soon after
when the grand jury met discussed
the matter thoroughly, and it was
determined to have a farm bureau.
The grand jury appointed a commit
tee to get it under way. This com
mittee did as was requested and
have been having monthly meetings
of the advisory board of the bureau
since. In August this advisory board
invited the commissioners before
them and told them of the need they
felt for a paid man to look after the
agricultural interests of the county.
The advisory board had fdtmd out
how much money the commissioners
had in the treasury and told the com
missioners plainly that some of this
w 3 their money and that they feit
they had a right to demand that at
least as much as $1,200 of it be ap
propriated for the purpose of hiring
a county agent. The commissioners
then readily appropriated this money
to the farm bureau advisory board
for that purpose. This board then
requested the college to appoint a
well-trained man to fill this posi
tion. This advisory board is now
planning with the prospective agent
to operate another year under a
definite program of work consisting
of a number of items suggested by
the communities in the county as
things needed, and which the people
gre willing to help put into efftect.
Many other concrete examples of
similar character could be given il
lustrating what the farm bureaus
throughout the state in the counties
where they are operating are ac
complishing. Seventy-six counties in
the state now have advisory boards
and are making efforts at further
perfecting the farm bureau. Forty
eight of these counties have had cer
tificates of appointment furnished to
the adv.'sort board members by the
College ot Agriculture.
Only t'.Vo years’ efforts have been
devoted’ to developing the farm bu
reau idea in this state. The farm
bureau in the county hinges upon a
definite program of work. The items
in this program of work are sent up
to the central office from the differ
ent communities and are suggested
by the people themselves as consti
tuting the things about which they
need help. The county agent, the
specialist from the college, and all
the different departments of the col
lege, as well as all the bureaus of
the federal department of agricul
ture are all co-ojaerating in this es
sential welfare work, which is doing
so much to place our agriculture on
a permanent basis and Improve liv
ing conditions and opportunities in
the open country.
C-ROWING CABBAGE IN WEN TER,
C. K. P., Boston, Mass., Writes: 1 de
sire to plant five acres in winter cab
bage for spring trade. I also desire io
plant ten acres in Irish potatoes in the
early spring. Would Tarly Rose be a
good variety to use? What fertilizer
should I use on the cabbage and also on
the potatoes?
Cabbage, of course, may be fer
tilized in a variety of ways. On the
character of land predominating in
your section of Georgia we would be
disposed to advise the use of any ot
the following formulas: 860 pounds
acid phosphate, 180 pounds sulphate
ot ammonia, 200 pounds nitrate of
soda, 400 pounds dried blood, 359
pounds muriate of potash. This
formula will give you a mixture con
taining about 6 per cent available
nitrogen, approximately seven per
cent of available phosphoric acid,
and nine per cent of potash.
Another formula which it might be
easier for you to secure would be
700 pounds acid phosphate, 800
pounds tankage, 200 pounds nitrate
of soda, 300 pounds muriate of pot
ash. This mixture will contain ap
proximately five per cent available
nitrogen, 7.5 per cent available
phosphoric acid, and 7.5 per cent of
potash.
You will probably wonder wfiy
such a high, percentage of potash is
suggested. It is simply due to the
fact that cabbage makes a relatively
heavy demand on the soil for this
element and your lands are not espe
cialy rich in potash. You will also
notice that liberal feeding with nitro
gen is suggested. This is due to the
fact that cabbage to be profitable
and satisfactory must be grown rap
idly so a. to insure their possessing
a high degree of succulence, as well
as forcing the crop to early maturity.
A formula of this character used at
the rate of 1009 pounds per acre and
upward is advisable. We would put
at least half of the fertilizer under
the drills, and mix it well with the
soil before the cabbage is planteHj
and then use side applications say
once in to to four weeks, depending
on seasonal conditions, say of 100 to
200 pounds per acre. We have found
this method of fertilizing cabbage
profitable and satisfactory.
If you cannot secure potash in the
amounts indicated, then a relatively
lighter application will have to be re
sorted to, or you may be able to get
tobacco stems or potash made from
kelp harvested on the Pacific coast
It is not necessary that you use
muriate or sulphate. Any carrier of
this element which will sufiply the
potash in relatively large quantities
should prove satisfactory.
In regard to Irish potatoes, we
have found tho Irish cobbler and
the Bliss triumph to be the two most
satisfactory varieties for cultivation
in Georgia. We do not recommend
them to the exclusion of every other
variety, but can only say that in
our own experience we have found
nothing superior to the Irish Cobbler.
We believe you will find this a satis
factory variety to plant. We have
■ made it a point to get guaranteed
disease-free, Maine seed whenever
possibl, and we have had uniform
suc-'ess in the cultivation of Irish
potatoes.
A large number of fertilizer form
ulas may bfe used successfully with
this crop. We suggest 1000 pounds
acid phosphate, 600 pounds of dried
blood, or any other carrier of nitro
gen supplying this element in equal
quantity. 400 pounds of any carrier
of potash which will supply this ele
ment in relatively large amounts. The
most desirable fertilizer, according to
our experience, for potatoes in your
section of the state would be one
carrying four per cent of available
nitrogen, about eight available
phosphoric acid, and seven to ten
per cent of potash.
FACTS ABOUT THE USE OF
GROUND LIMESTONE
R. H. S.. Blakely, Ga., writes: Where
can I purchase ground limestone for use
on acid lands? What is the most
economical way of applying it to the
land ?
Crushed lime rock or ground lime
stone may be purchased from quite
a large number of concerns -in
Georgia. One desiring to buy this
material should communicate with
all of them and buy from the con
cern which will furnish it the cheap
est. This is the rational business
policy to pursue in reference to a
matter of this character. The high
er the limestone runs in carbonate
of lime the better adapted it should
be, ordinarily speaking, for Geor
gia crops and soils. Prices natural
ly vary somewhat, according to
the cost of getting out the rock and
preparing it, and also on account of
the distance from the particular
mine. One should purchase, relative
ly speaking, as close home as pos
sible, so as to save freight costs.
Crushed lime rock can be applied
at almost any season of the year.
It can be used on certain crops in
the fall to some advantage. It evi
dently has exerted some helpful in
fluence on cotton, according to our
experiments, and may have a fa
vorable action on cereals, though we
have not obtained a marked re
sponse from its use under the lat
ter class of crops. It has given us
its largest and most certain benefits
when applied to leguminous crops,
such as peanuts, cowpeas, soy beans,
velvet beans and vetches. The most
economic way of applying it to
these crops is by means of a lime
distributor. These machines are on
the market and may be purchased at
a reasonable cost. This material
should be applied at the rate of 1,-
000 pounds and upward per acre,
depending on the crop to be grown.
Lime should not be used on land
intended for Irish potatoes. The
lowest application will probably
serve for peanuts, while the heav
iest application should be used on
locations where it is intended to
grow clovers, particularly alfalfa.
Tn that event three to five tons per
acre can be applied to advantage.
PROTECTING THEES WITH
WHITEWASH
J. T. S., Bonair, Ga., writes: I would
like a recipe for whitewashing trees.
Can I sow onion seed now and get sets
for next spring, or is it too late? What
kind of seed is best to get, as I want
to raise them for market?
One of the very best whitewash
mixtures for use for the purpose
indicated may be prepared as fol
lows: Slake a half bushel of un
slaked lime with boiling water, keep
ing it covered during the process.
Strain it and add a peck of salt, dis
solved in warm water, three pounds
of ground rice put in boiling water
and boiled to a thin paste; half a
pound of powdered Spanish whiting,
and a pound of clear glue, dissolved
in warm water; mix these well to
gether, and let the mixture stand
for several days. Keep the wash
thus prepared in a kettle or portable
furnace, 'and when used put it on
as ' hot as possible with either
painters’ or whitewash brushes. \
This is a standard receipt which
has been tested very thoroughly. It
is also recommended highly by the
United States government. We have
used it and found it very satisfhe
tory in our own experience, so that
in following the instructions offer
ed you will not be experimenting
but using a mixture which has been
carefully tested and standardized.
You can sow onion seed this fall,
though we think it is getting pretty
late for this purpose. In our experi
ence we have found it best to plant
onion seed somewhat earlier if sea
sonal conditions were at all favor
able. We have secured good stands
on a number of occasions from plant
ing late in August or early in Sep
tember. We have transplanted the
young onions successfully in the
spring and produced a fine croji
therefrom. We cannot recall that
we have 6ver been able to sow the
sets as late as this and develop them
sufficiently to justify transplanting
before late winter or early spring.
We grow all of our onion sets for
planting by sowing seed in the early
spring. We do not thin the onions
but either transplant the sets when
favorable seasons occur or else save
the small onions which develop be
cause of the thickness of the plant
ing and set them out early in the
fall. We feel sure you can obtain
all the onions you wish for spring
planting by proceeding as indicated.
Xog will probably find the Ber
muda onion a little too tender for
your location. We used the yellow
Danvers and the Prizetaker with suc
cess for planting in this section.
Along the gulf coast we would advise
the use of Bermuda onions, but we
think you will find the varieties we
have suggested the best for your
section.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE
FARM LOAN ACT
L. C. F., LaGrange, Ga., writes:
Please tell tne the terms of the. farm
loan and what interest one has to pay,
and how long does the loan run?
If you will write to the central
office of the farm loan board in
Washington, D. C., they will be
pleased to send you literature giving
all the information you desire to ob
tain relative to securing a loan on
your farm through the agency of
the laws enacted to this end by con
gress. The rate of interest charged
is about six per cent and loans can
be arranged so as to run for a long
time. Loans placed on farms by
this board are arranged to run tor
many years on purpose, because when
this is done one can pay the interest
and a small amount of the principal
from year to year and in the end
clear off a relatively heavy obliga
tion without carrying an undue fi
nancial burden. You understand, of
course, that thousands of loans have
already been placed by this board
and that the work and service per
formed under this act have shown
the wisdom and value of this law
to the agricultural classes of the
United States.
The farm loan board has a primer
which is designed to give a person
situated as you a large amount of
information. In it many questions
are asked and the answers set down
categorically. I am sure they will
be pleased to send you a copy of
this primer.
I also suggest that you get in
touch with your county agent, as
the county agents in many parts of
Georgia have been instrumental In
having local farm loan boards or
ganized for the benefit of the con
stituency they are endeavoring to
serve.
ANOTHER BIG FUR
YEAR IS COMING;
SKINS IN DEMAND
Last year was a big one for
trapping. Trappers, everywhere,
reported good profits because the
market for pelts was very high. This
coming season promises to be a big
one. too, and the profits should be
just as large as last. ,
The fur market is subject to the
law of supply and demand, and every
trapper should remember that the
demand for furs all over the coun
try is steadily becoming greater.
Last winter was the mildest the
country experienced over a very
long period of years, and yet furs
were never so popular for wear.
The style for fur coats for women
came in and a tremendous demand
was created.
It will be a long time before we
have a winter as mild as last and
as you know, the colder the weather
the more popular are fur garments.
The big cities have already come in
strong for fur styles during winter
months and now it looks as though
the people in the smaller towns and
on the farms are going to demand
more and more fur garments. For
motoring and outdoor life of every
kind, fur garments are useful, stylish
and economical.
The trapper, seeing the big de
mand, can’t help seeing also that
the more pelts he traps and markets
properly the bigger his profits are
going to be. So It will pay you well
to go in for trapping on just as
tig a scale as possible this year.
Make all your preparations early and
get everything in order, so that
when the season opens, you can de
vote all your energies to the work
of trapping. Careful preparation
shows its value in the extra results
you are able to get.
Rye Acreage Increased
During Last Four Years
The United States produces less
than 3 per cent of the total rye crop
of the world. The bulk of our pro
duction is in the eastern half of the
country, in 1915 nearly 80 per cent
being grown east of the Dakotas.
Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and
Texas. In the eastern part of the
United States the principal produc
tion is in Minnesota and the States
east of the Mississippi and north of
the Ohio and Potomac rivers. In the
last few years, however, there has
been a tendency to increase the acre
age outside of the region of previous
largest production. This has been
especially marked in Nebraska,
North Dakota, South Dakota. and
Kansas, while largely increased
acreages have been sown in Indiana
and Ohio. In Nebraska, for in
stance. the acre sown is . estimated
to have Increased from 62,827 acres
in 1909 to about 200.000 acres in
1915, while in Indiana the estimated
increase in the same period is from
83,440 to 150,000 acres.
The largest crop of rye ever pro
duced in the United States in one
year was in 1915, when the yield
was estimated to be- 49.190.000 bush
els. The lowest yield in the last 50
vears was in 1872, when 14,889,000
bushels were produced, while the
average for that period was 26,717.-
560 bushels. During the last four
years the Increase in production has
been marked.
ARMY WORM IH ALABAMA
Warning has, been given of the ap
pearance at Dothan, Houston county
Alabama, of the dreaded "army
worm" of cotton leaf caterpillar. Thr
report came from a representative
of the Alabama Experiment Station,
Mr. R. H. Turner, who, as special
agent of the department of entomol
ogy, is conducting cotton dusting ex
periments for weevil control on tht
farm of Spann Brothers, in that
county.
It is noteworthy that the last cot
ton wor moutbreak, in 1911, begar
in the last week of July, and before
the end of the season 66 out of the
68 counties had been practically
stripped of their cotton by the worm
Conditions are similar this year, con
tinuous rains favoring the develop
ment of the worm and retarding thai
of a crop which is rank in weed and
rather low in fruitage. Dr. W. E
Hinds, state entomologist, left Im
mediately for Dothan, realizing tha
a most serious situation might b<
developing.
On account of the scarcity of coal
there will probably be a large amount
of wood used as fuel this winter.
Use all the waste timber, dead and
dying trees for this purpose and be
sure to conserve the ashes for garden
fertilizer. They are rich in plant
food, particularly potash.
Tough AniMKtled
Moldboards
Next to the points, moldboards are
the cause of the greatest expense.
Lynchburg moldboards are specially an
nealed, nxhich greatly reduces break
age. They are correctly curved—
setting the furrow slice on edge, with
a snap as it comes from the mold
board. It pulverizes the furrow slices,
leaving the land in fine friable condi
tion—making a warm moisture-holding
plant bed.
Mold board Braced Direct
to Standard
The moldboard is braced direct to the
standard. It gives the strongest, most
rigid construction of any plow ever
built.
Sloping Landside Make
Turning Easy
Lynchburg Plows are built with a
sloping landside—with a broad flange.
This makes easy turning at the end
of the rows. In going back and forth
to the fields —in crossing roads and
paths—the plow runs like a sled.

With Concave Self-Sharpening Points
Guaranteed to Outwear Two
Ordinary Shares
z pHE self-sharpening concave point has proved to be the greatest
plow improvement made in fifty years. Thousands of farmers
report them “sharp as new after 30 days of plowing.” This from
sections where ordinary points wore out in a week.
The Lynchburg Concave Point is curved like a hawk’s beak. There
is plenty of suction. It goes into the soil easily. The wear comes ort
the top side instead of on the bottom, wearing it to a wedge. The
longer it runs the sharper the nose until the point wears out.
We guarantee these points to outwear two of the old-style points.
But users state that they outwear from three to five.
Lynchburg Chilled Plows are made in various ( styles and sizes
adapted to every soil and section.
Lynchburg Concave Points to Fit Other Plows >
Demand has become so great that we now make them for several
other standard plows.* But take no substitutes. There is but one self
sharpening point—the Lynchburg. If your dealer doesn’t sell the Lynch
burg Concave points, write us and we will see that you arr
