COMMUNITY CORN STUDY DM
, IN FIELD. IMPORTANT
” r
; ’ Bcesident Andrew M. Soule, State College of Agriculture.
.Every community should have a i
corn study day. The fanners should
get together and go through the dif
ferent fields examining and judging !
for themselves of the relative merits i
of the different strains produced, the j
'difference in fertilization and soil be
ing taken into consideration.
it would be well for the teachers
axd the boys and girls to meet in such
jk conference, or possibly the school
might be made the center of such an
enterprise as fliis and the farmers
invited to participate. It makes no
difference who is responsible for the .
undertaking; the thing is to have the ;
work done, and a corn study day will i
shortly become one of the most im
gxsrtant outings for pleasure and prof
it in every community which partici- |
pates in this movement.
Aiv-r having decided on the best va
r'eties for growth in a given commu
nity, the work of selection should then
proceed systematically. On most of our
oils it wi M be well to select seed from
plants which have two well-developed
urs. The medium sized ear sorts will
found more satisfactory for growth
on our average Georgia soil than the
big-cu’ed varicites. The growth of
big-cared varieties had best be con
:-ffd largely to bottom lands. The
chosen should be from plants
which are free from disease in so far
as a careful examination reveals. They
should be plants which seems to have
made a vigorous, consistent growth
from germination to maturity. A fair
amount of foliage is important for
several reasons. First of all, the
leaves are valuable for feed, and sec
ond, they constitute the lungs of the
plant and enable it to manufacture
food more rapidly and completely. The
ears should be selected from a stalk
which has stood up well throughout
the season and is not so tall or siim
that it is likely to be broken over by
the wind. The ears should point, down
ward rather than upward and should
be attached to the stalk by stout rela
tively short shanks. The ear chosen
for seed should be carefully examined.
It is important that the rows of grain
run straight, that the tip and butt be
well covered, that the grain be fairly
i hard and flinty and free from weevil
damage. The rows should he tightly
packed together on the cob and the
grain of from tip to butt.
All these things have an important
bearing on the future crop for if the
1 grain is misshapen it will not seed
| uniformly through the planter, and be
sides that, it is not as likely that the
| germs or young plants be as vig
j orously developed Is' mil shaped
! seeds.
I LITTLE ITEMS OF GEORGIA CITIES
Columbus.—Prominent members of
the S. A. E. fraternity are in Colum
bus from various Georgia and Ala
i bama cities, coming to attend the bi
| ennial convention of Province Epsi
j ton, embracing two states. The con

Albany.—When Conductor Alonzo
Smith, for years in the employ of the

sponse to his knocking, forced an en
trance. He found Smith dead in bed.

tered. The damage to the house war ,

Macon. —Development work in Ma
con during the coming year by the
city government is to be kept within
the revenue. This year the city has
spent more money than it had with

reduced by virtue of the fact that, the
city will lose considerable revenue
through the near-beer saloons going
out of business.

to place the sale of near-beer under a
license tax, as was done by ccunci:
when that body voted to put the tax
of $15,000 per annum on the sale of
near-beer in this city. This tax
comes as the result of an agitation
that has lasted some eighteen months
and after the organization of the law
enforcement league several days ago
Last January an effort was made to
raise the tax from SB,OOO to $ 10,000,
but was defeated when the tax was
really lowered.

Valdosta. —A proposition to devel
op the water power on the YKithla
coochee river, near this city, which
has been discussed for several years,
bids fair now to be pushed to a. suc
cessful end. Preliminary surveys of
the stream, beginning at a point only
three miles northwest of Valdosta, are
now being made by a well known, civ
il engineer, for parties in South Car
olina, who are interested in the de
velopment. The surveys inc Mate a
powerful fall in the river near where
