THE COFFEE COUNTY I'ROGKESS. DOUGLAS. GEOK 'A
Interesting Letter By
G. N. C. & B. i. Boy.
Center, Ga.,
Nov. 12, 1912.
| Mr. T. A. Wallace,
Douglas, Ga.
Dear Sir:
Being a Coffee County boy by
choice, if not by birth, and ever
! wishing the Coffee County people!
arai their efforts well. It is with
pleasure 1 note the effort your paper
;is doing to further the interest of
the South Georgia Cracker.
I am sending herewith a descrip
tion of the boy who has attained a
splendid success, hopingitmay prove
an inspiration to some other boy or
girl.
He is one of thirteen children and
a son of a small farmer with very
limited means. He is now ab; ut
fourteen years of age with dark hair,
ruddy complexion and untiring mus
sles. He talks very interestingly of
his success and he is seemingly con
tent to stay at home and work to
help his parents make a living.
I like to talk with him of his trip
to Atlanta and Washington. While
in Atlanta he was the guest of Gov.
Hoke Smith. He (Mr. Smith) hav
ing sent for him to go in person and
give an account of his efforts. He
also visited Washington with the
other successful contestants and
was shoNvn many courtesies denied
to older heads than his. The reason
was he had done something. lie
grew Corn !
Trusting this-may be an aid to
some of my old pupils and friends of
Coffee county, I will leave you to
choose what part of the the account
to print, 1 am
Yours for successful Schools
J. S. Wilson.
P. S. While Joe Stone made H>2
bushels of corn per acre, his brother
made 94 bushels on the adjoining
acre in 1910, and 1911 they grew 79
bushels of wheat on the same land.
In 1912 Joe grew 107 bushels on one
acre. He says he. owes his
large yields to deep and careful plow

HOW FARMER CAN GEIGREAIEST
. RETURNS FROM GOTION SEED
Andrew M. Soule, President State College of Agriculture.
In the handling and management of
cotton seed the farmer should natural
ly be actuated only by selfish motives.
In other words, he should utilize them
so as to secure for himself the largest
possible return in a financial way. It
has been shown that a ton of average
meal, say containing 6.18 per cent, of 1
nitrogen, is more effective for fertil
izing value it contains in the form
of yard manure.
By feeding the meal, he can in
crease the number of live stock kept
on his farm and thus add to his sup
ply of yard manure. When doing this
he is increasing the vegetable content
of his soil, an essential and all-im- 1
portant matter. Finally, he is adding
a part cf the fertilizer to his soil in
a form which not only promotes fer

T. H. McHatton, Professor of Horti
culture.
From 20 to 30 cents per square foot
can he made from not beds and colei
names during a year. A hot bed ro
tation may be operated as follows:
Make the hot bed January 1 and grow
tomatoes, egg plants, pepper or other
plants. Remove these and bed to
sweet potatoes in April. After the
potato plants have been remoyed, raise
radishes. Follow radishes with cab
bage plants, reset cabbage plants to
rows in field for planting at pleasure.
Follow the cabbage with lettuce,
which can be removed by Christmas,
in time to make another hot Led by
January 1.
A hot bed or “frame” is 6 by 12
feet, and costs from sl2 to sls when
covered with glass. The hot bed should
face southward and be located on a
well drained spot. Dig a hole 12 to
18 inches, put in the bottom of it
bricks, chunks of wood or other ma
terial that will insure drainage. Use
horse manure as much of the same
age as possible. Cow manure will
not do. The manure should be free
of straw. Pile up manure under shel
ter, and if it is dry, throw on it a
couple of buckets of boiling water,
putting more manure on top of the
wet manure. Fermentation will be
gin in 3 or 4 days. Mix manure then
with a fork thoroughly. In a week or
ten days it should be very hot with
temperature around 200.
Put four inches of the hot manure
in bottom of the hot bed and pack
down. Continue to put on similar lay

about 13 inches of manure.

once, thus affording the crop time jto
take it up and utilize :f as it grows.
There is often an undue amount of
suspicion in the minds of many per
sons with reference to a discussion of
a subject of this nature. Sometimes
the farmer thinks that he is not get
ting a fair return for his seed, and
that by keeping them at home he can
utilize them to better advantage. All
the invest gatiens of capable and inde
pendent scientific men, however, aye
opposed to this idea.
Unless- the farmer is called on to
sell his seed at a price clearly below
their market value for manufacturing
purposes, it is to his interest in 99
cases out of 100 to do so.
mains well defined and the manure
appears soggy, it is too wet. If, on the
other hand, it is so springy that the im
pression of the foot at once disappears,
it is too light and has too much litter
in it. If it is exactly right there
will be a springiness, but the impres
sion of the foot step will remain.
On top of the manure feed put 4 to
6 inches of good garden loaiff. Place
a thermometer in the soil, reaching
down and touching the manure bed.’
When tiie thernioifteter shows a con
stant temperature of 90 to 95 degrees,
sow the seed of warmth-loving plants,,
such as tomatoes.
When watering the bed, put on
enough to thoroughly moisten the soil,,
but not to saturate it and thus de
stroy the strength of manure. The
bed need not be watered every day,
but only when the soil has drjed out.
Water the bed in time for the foliage
to dry off before night. Damp foliage
at night fa*, ors disease.
The air should be changed every
day, even on coldest days there should
be at least a slight opening, taking
care always to make* the opening away
from the wind, so that cold air will
not he forced in.
As time for planting in the field
draws near, the plants must be har
dened off, and on warm nights tho
cover may be left off and if days are
favorable the same can be done two
or three weeks before planting.
It is always better to transplant
twice. The first time about two inch
es apart when true leaves begin to
form Aid about four inches apart the
second time when they can he put in
“flats,” that is, large flat boxes, in
which they can be carried to the field
and planted with the so’l of the “flat”
