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?

Merchante Anxious to Settle ail Accounts. Playing Safe In The Cotton Game J. Phil Campbell, Director Extension Division, Georgia State Col- . lege Of Agriculture High price cotton is a seductive si ren beckoning southern farmers back 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 fozj^'icune supplies. In other words, yourlcotton money by living on .i-ra U^et us sl ee how it can be done: First, (produce a h<(>me garden for [every fairly 0 n the ffirm giving spe cial attention to raising sufficient Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes and sir up. . Second. PVoduce co n necessary to support all tVe peopli and the live stock on the Ifarm Third. Produce enough oats to feed the animals alo.W wittilcorn. Pay at tention to winter grazing. Fourth. Produce hiy and forage erop, sufficient tjo supiiy all the live stock on the farm, preferably legumes such as clover, cowpeas, velvet beans, soy beans and alfalfa. Fifth. Produce meat to supply the people. Start with poultry and hogs and increase the number of cattle and other livestock. Sixth. After these things have beer provided for, grow cotton for the mar ket. Fall and Winter Manuring Of Garden T. H. McHatton, Professor Of Horti culture, Georgia State College 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 phoric acid. This will make a com pleter fertilizer, or provide more near ly for all the plant food requirements 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 in Ihe slate. “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.
