LEARNING TO GET SOIL FERTILITY
WITHOUT HAIG TO BUY IT
President Andrew M. Soule, State College of Agriculture.
Perhaps the - greatest fundamental
mistake of the Georgia farmer is his
dependence upon the fertilizer dealer
for replacing Ike soil fertility which
each crop takes from h s land.
Instead of putting out so much for
fertilizer, he should tie getting at least
a part of the necessary plant food
through a proper crop rotation sys
tem and the growing of live'stdek.
The legume and the cow mean soil
fertility without cost. On a great many
Georgia farms agriculture will be a
stranger to success until these two
forces are put to work.
Bo devoted to cotton growing have
been thousands of farmers of Georgia
and so limited their knowledge of how
to grow other crops or to engage In
profitable animal industry, that it is
necessary to get considerable infor
mation from a reliable source before
they begin.
It Is for the purpose of assisting
such furmers Into new lines of agri
cultural* activity that the agricultural
short course Is provided at the State
College of Agriculture, for those who
HOC CHOLERA SERUM
PRICE REDUCED
Dr. H. M. Burson, Veterinarian.
Hog cholera appears to be rather se
vere In many counties this year, as-in
dicated by inquiries received by the
Veterinary Department; however, the
losses reported are not nearly so se
rious as in other years. Many farmers
are protecting their herds by means of
hog cholera serum and nuftiy reports
show excellent results.
Nearly 150,000 cubic centimeters of
serum have been distributed this year,
sufficient for the treatment of lO.OOh
fifty-pound hogs.
Since July Ist all serum has been
distributed through the office of the
state veterinarian, capitol building, At
lanta, as required by the act appropri
ating funds for serum manufacture.
The price of serum reduced October
17st from 2c per c. c. to 1 l-2c per c. c„
making the cost of treatment so low
that no swine owner can afford not
to have his hogs protected if cholera
exists within a radius of several miles
of his herd. This price will obtain as
long as sufficient demand makes it
economical to manufacture at present
price.
Information concerning cholera and
the use of serum as a preventive is
contained in a bulletin on “Hog Chol
era and Preventive Serum,” used by
the college, free for the asking.
COTTON BOLL 00T KRO. SEED SELECTION
John R. Fain, Professor of Agronomy.
Showing Anthracnose on 8011.
Go Into the cotton field and get
your seed. Any other way is hazard
ous. Select seed from plants that are
free from disease and especially free
from cotton anthracnose or boll rot.
Georgia lost $2,000,000 from anthrac
nose during 1913, according to federal
reports. The disease Is spreading and
greater losses may be expected.
Select seed from well formed, hardy
high-producing plants that do not bear
signs of anthracnose, and you not
only have the best assurance of pro
tection from boll rot, but an assurance
of the largest yield.
The College has been selecting seed
in this way during the past few years
and has a variety of cotton that has
proven highly free from the disease.

WINTER SPRAYING FOR
- SAN JISE SCALE.
T. H. McHatton, Profeaaor of Horti
culture.
Spray before Christmas with con
centrated lime-sulphur spray for San
Jose scale on fruit trees of any kind.
For small orchards the preparation
can be purchased. It would pay the
larger ones to make it. Wtien pur
chased llie concentrate will cost from
25 to 50 cents per gallon in small
quantities. One gallon of the concen
trate should be diluted with from 8
to 9 gallons of water. This can then
be applied with a spraying outfit, an
ordinary hand outfit, of course, be
ing sufficient for a small orchard.
From l to 2 gallons, depending upon
the size of the tree, should be applied.
Spray until the tree begins to drip
Leave no part of ttie tree unsprayed
if the scale is very bad, repeat the
spraying In January.
SEVEN MORE COUNTIES
FREED OF CATTLE TICKS
_____
Dr. H. M. Burson, Profesaor Veteri
nary Department.
Seven Georgia counties have been
released from federal quarantine on
1 account of the presence of tick fever
| during the past year. April Ist
Banks, Clarke, Fanuin, Hall and Put
nam counties were released and de
| clared free of ticks, and on Sept. Ist
| Newton and Oconee counties were
also released. This action on the part
of the federal authorities is the result
; of the active campaign of eradication
j which has been waged against the
ticks in these counties by the state
veterinarian and the federal author!-
. ties In co-operation, the college aid-
I ing w'herever possible.
Where seed can not be bought that
has been proven free from the dis
ease, the farmer must rely on hts
own cotton fields. Any one can de
velop a variety of cotton into a high
state of freedom from the disease by
proper seed selection in his own fields.
If anthracnose is not present, it pays
well to select seed in the field from
the best plants. Y'ields can be built
up remarkably in this way.
Everything that conduces to weak
ness of plant development lays the
plant open to all diseases that may
appear, so that the best assurance of
freedom from loss is obtained only
when there has been right seed selec
tion and right cultivation both before
and after the seed is planted. In other
words, strong plants are healthiest

There are few better combina

no combination is perfect. Dr.
Porter and others who have had
