Farmers’ Conferences
At Agricultural College
President Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of
Agriculture
During uie first three weeks of each
new year the farmers of Georgia have
right of way/at the College of Agri
culture. PrcSn the 4th to the 15th
of January there will he the annual
session of the Short Course for farm
ers, following which come the annual
meetings of the Georgia Breeders’ As
sociation, the Georgia Dairy and Live
stock Association and the Georgia
State Horticultural Society.
On account of the great growth of
the numbjv of students for the junior
courses at the Short Course, it has
been deeped essential ihat the boys
and girlsj should be taught at another
time, hence arrangements are being
made to/teach them in midsummer.
The Short Courses at the first of
the year, will, therefore, be restricted
to mature men and women. Among
those who will be present will be
the demonstration agents from all
parts of the state. They, too, will at
tend a short course for their special
benefit.
The work of the Short Course will
be happily consummated by the at
tendance of the farmers upon the meet
ings of the various associations men
tioned. Inspiring and instructive ad-’
dresses will be heard. Always these
are men of special fltnesB and na
tional prominence to speak at these
meetings on various phases of agri
culture. It will be the case again at
the coming conferences.
At these meetings are brought to
gether the experts who have been
finding out truths about agriculture
by scientific procedure, and also prac
tical, wide-awake farmers. The Inter
change of facts, the answered ques
tions, the new discoveries all conspire
to make the meetings of the very
greatest importance to the farmer.
Ideas obtained from these conferences
have been converted into farm suc
cesses. The conferences pay.
These meetings afford the greatest
opportunities for the expression of
policies having to do with the wel
fare of the farmers of Georgia. They
provide the forum and the opportun
ity to plead for Georgia’s agriculture—
the largest single Interest within the
state.
Why not join other broad-gauge,
progressive farmers and be one of the
attendants at the farmers’ conferences
at the College of Agriculture in Jan
uary?

Playing Safe In

Division, Georgia State Col- .

High price cotton is a seductive si

into the breakers of the single crop
system. Be wise and do not be mis
led again. Engage in "Safe Farm
ing.” Raise cotton, but fortify it wiT/T
corn, oats, wheat, legumes livestock,
vegetables, so that no one will be
able to take your cotton from you
for a song. No matter how much cot
ton will be bringing next year, it will
be worth more to you if you do not
have to pay out your cotton money

Of Agriculture
Manure the garden in the fall by
applying at least 15 two-horse loads
per acre. Leave it on the surface till
the spring plowing. In the spring be
fore the manure is turned under, ap
ply from 500 to 1,000 pounds of phos

MAKING READY FOR
THE BOLL WEEVIL
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College Of Agriculture
The fight against the boll weevil
itself, of course, belongs essentially to
the State Board of Entomology and
the State Department cf Agriculture,
where the quarantine and general reg
ulatory power resides for the control
of insect pests, but the State College
of Agriculture, through its extension
and demonstration ugjents, is ready to
do its part in meeting the problems
arising,
At a meeting held at Macon for the
purpose of organizing a campaign for
better farming, the College enlisted
its forces and is in accord with the
resolutions passed, tvl^ich are as fol
lows :
“Resolved: That wd approve the
campaign on boll weevil inaugurated
by the State Board of Entomology, and
urge the active co-ope?ration of the
State Department of Agriculture, the
United States Department of Agri
culture, the State College of Agricul
ture, the State Agricultural Society,
the Farmers’ Union and other farm
ers’ and business organisations with

“Resolved: That this committ^s rec
ommend that the State Chamber
Commerce furnish the expenses of a
business man from boll weevil territo
ry to organize and instruct the busi
ness men of their duties in fighting the
boll weevil. This man to be selected
by the director* of the campaign.
