■: SPORT DOPE
WALTER T. JENKINS
Why does Georgia with to beat Tech? Flret, because it’e Tech. 8ec-
cn jly, because Bob McWhorter is not on the Georgia team this year.
Thirdly, because Tech haan t won a game from Georgia in four years,
fourthly, because the dope is so strongly in favor of Tech. Fifthly, because
everyone i* »iU* holding up the Red and Black team as good as the Yellow
jackets any day.
Talk about a team determined! Well, you just take it from me, “Geor
gia is going to beat Tech." Every man on the team can see nothing else but
to win from Tech. In running signals yesterday on every play every man
the team would yell: “We play Tech Saturday."
They aay, how can Georgia expect to beat Tech with the odda so strongly
la favor of Tech? We any it has been done before, and wa do also say that
, eve , before has Georgia been so determined to win. The psychological
affect of that one thought will 40 wonders.
There is going to be a mass meeting Friday night. The band will be
there. George Harrison and Ed Dunlap will be there. Professor Sanford,
Coach Cunningham, Chancellor Barrow and Captain Paddock will make
tperches. Let every Georgia man be there, and show that old team what ioy-
alty to Georgia means.
Are we worrying shout these odds? Auburn best Tech. Auburn beat
Clemson. Yes, Auburn won from Clemson by doubling her score. Clemson
walloped Georgia. Then again, Georgia defeated Sewanee by one point.
r«h ran up three touchdowns on Sewanee and Sewane could not cross the
Tech goal line, while Sewanee scored on Georgia. We simply say there will
a few change! on the Georgia lineup, and remember always, this is a
lech gams. •
A scrimmage will he held today on Sanford field between the Scrubs and
the 'Varsity. The ’Varsity will no doubt begin to work on the Tech plays.
And. by the way, Georgia you know is noted for new plays and, perhaps,
if you see that Geo.rgia.Tech game Saturday soma new ones may .interest
you. Eh
led frqnj
reported for practice yesterday, and will be in the game Saturday.
John expresses his determination to win, “why Georgia's right.”
Our old “war horsa,” Tom Thrash, is running at full again, and it looks
is though some line backing will be Been in Saturday’s game.
‘Bright” McConnell is playing an all-southern game so far thifc year
and should reach hia aenith in the Tech game.
Are you going to Atlanta Saturday? There TH1I be a special train with
<1.30 round trip rate, returning on Saturday, and |2.00 rate returning Sun
day. A holiday is always granted.
Jo

Object Lessons—College Perm.
Betides the practical instructions
twen in the class room, the college
term is an object lesson of great ed
ucation*! value.
Six yearn ago the land, before the
college squired control of it, wai worn
and gullied—a typical warn our cot
ton plantation. Today as a farming
proposition its value baa been in
creased by 82,600, due entirely to the
increased fertility and productive-
nets of the soil, made possible by di
versification of crops and live stock
farming. The farm is now paying
profits every year, last yaar the total
'receipts being more than 110,000.
A model dairy is operated, and the
sale of milk, butter and cream last
year amounted to mere then $6,000.
Besides the modal dairy 'barn, its
equipment, etc., the practical methods
of dairy herd manggiment, the Jer
sey and Holstein cows, and the meth
ods of raising calves will more than
repay any interested person the trou
ble and expenee of inspection.
Beef cattle art also raised profit
ably, and the equipment—barn, alias,
dipping vats and improved cultivating
machinery-—as wall as the Hereford
and Shorthorn cattle and the Perche-
ron mares that do the farm work, and
also rafts a colt every year, wilt give
any one who inspects this department
of the farm an ineight into the busi
ness which is impossible to get in any
other way. Tamworth and Berk
shire hogs are ale* raised, and these
may be inspected, and the method* of
feeding and handHnjr them observed.
All over th* state people are getting
intonated in alfalfa, and on toe col
lege farm alfalfa U being profitably
grown. Some has just noon seeded
this fall, and eeme fields an older,
having made pnfluble crop* for
yean past. Anyone who studies the
conditions, and familiarize* himself
with them can learn how to make It
thrive and do well.
Horticultural Farm.
The horticnUairsI farm wiU ale* ba
of interest An object lesson in the
shape of a young and vigourous or
chard. The methods of managing an
orchard—pruning, spraying, etc., the
use of cover crops in building up soil
fertility may be seen. There it also
a model green house in operation.
Test Plats.
The college also operates teste plats.
By experiments carried on these plate
the crops and varieties beat suited to
Georgia tto determined. For this pur
pose experiment plats are located in
the different parts of the state. Thus,
the oats that are earliest, heaviest
yielders, and freest of disease are de
termined. Likewise, the corn that it
moat weevil resistant ana the biggest
yielder; the variety of cotton which
produces the most lint, the most oil.
and is most resistant to boil rot. and
the quickest maturing varieties.
Georgia also needs « good hay
grata, and experiments with auadan
grata and others which majf be of
great value to the state as hay
grasses, are being carried on. Also
experiment* as to the nee of fertiliz
ers,‘the different kinds for different
crops. Ail of these experiments and
the results obtained deserve a visit
of inspection, end will prove very in
teresting and instructive.
Connies of Instruction Offered.
The map at the heads of the depart
ments of the college are the recog
nized authorities in the aotith in agri
cultural matters. They are experts,
men who are making practical demon
stration of tha correctness of the prin
ciples and methods which they teach.
Men who are successful farmers them
selves, and the work that they are do
ing for the state cannot- be overesti
mated.

Aim of the Courses.
No one can take *11 of the courses
in one year, and it is not intended
that they should.' The purpose of the
college is to enable any man or woman
interested in any branch of agricul
ture to obtain practical instruction in
the line in which they are interested.
The state does not appropriate
enough money to run these courses
throughout the year, hence they are
given during a short time only, but
by attending each yearly masting
many subjects can be learned.
Importance of the Courses. 1
All those who are interested in the
course should write the College ^f
Agriculture, Athena, Ga., for infor
mation, and begin making arrange
ments for attending. This year par
ticularly, since the European war has
quarantined eotton, farmers and buf-
iness then are realizing aa never be
fore the necessity of diversification of
crops and live stock farming. Any
one who has any possible means of at
tending ought not to fell to do so,
as practical information as to the
mesne *f doing this will be explained.
