UNDER COLLEGE METHODS
• ~ Andrew M. Soule, President.
A worn-out farm of rolling and
washed land, in 1908; yielded an in
come of $2,757.1*4. By following the
plans outlined by the College of Ag
riculture the income was increased
to $8,581.40 in 1912. Good Judges of
the increased value of the farm for
agricultural purposes claim that the
enhancement in this respect has been
at least $5,000. Starting with practi
cally nothing in the way of live stock,
a herd of cattle has been developed
that is worth about $10,265.
The record of this farm has been
kept in a thoroughly business-like
way, as will be revealed by the fol
lowing items of receipts and expendi
tures for the year 1912:
Receipts.
Dairy products $5,099.44, farm prod
ucts $3,461.97; total $.8,581.41.
Expenditures.
Labor $3,588.85; fertilizers $979.86;
foodstuffs (chiefly cotton seed meal)
$1,300.50; dairy equipment $147.84 ;
miscellaneous for repairs, etc.,
$704.62; total $6,855,889.
Permanent Improvements, including
building and repairs, tools and imple
ments, live stock totaled $4,081. All
told the expenditures for both main
tenance and permanent improvements
GRAZING CROP FOR HOGS.

Inquiry—What are good grazing
crops for hogs?
For spring and summer planting,
Canadian perns sown February 1 and
Hurt oats sown March 1, each costing
about $4 per acre, will afford from 20
to 40 days of grazing at the rate of
15 hogs to the acre. Pape (Dwarf Es
sex) sowed at the rate of from 4 to
6 pounds to the acre February or
April 1, at a cost of from 40 to 60
cents per acre will produce pasture
from 40 to 60 days at the rate of 10
hogs to the acre. Chufas, three
fourths of a bushel to an acre, sow
ed March 15 or June 1 at a cost of
$4 per acre, will graze four hogs to j
the acre from 90 to 120 days. Cow
peas (early and late varieties), one
half bushel to the acre sown April
20 and June 30 at a cost of $1.50 per
acre will afford pasture 30 days for
12 hogs to the acre. Soy beans (early
and late varieties) sown April 20
and June 30 at $1.50 per acre will pas
ture 15 hogs per acre for 30 to 40
days. Spanish peanuts planted In

The American eagle on the quarter doesn’t make it worth a
dollar, nor does the brand 10-2-2 or 10-3-3 guarantee the con
tents of the sack to be made of the best materials—it only guar
antees its actual analysis. There are materials and MATE
RIALS.
Old Reliable is to the sack what sterling is to silverware —
the best and purest obtainable. A. D. ADAIR & M’CARTY
BROS’, brands have been STERLING to the South for nearly a
half century. Others have come and gone, but the OLD RE
LIABLE BRANDS continue to sell and satisfy. The survival
of the fittest holds good with the manufacturer as elsewhere.
Penny wise becomes pound foolish when you skimp in the
plant food you buy for your crop. To do so you may easily save
a few dollars in the planting only' to lose very many times this
amount at the harvest, when you wake up to the fact that the
stingy fertilizer hasn’t produced. Here as elsewhere the best is
always the least expensive in the end. Insist on our brands and
insure crop success.
We offer you goods ammoniated with Fish Scrap, Cotton Seed
Meal, Tankage, Nitrate of Soda. Blood and Sulphate of Am

and meet the different crop requirements.
Long years of experience and field experiments have taught us.

for the year amounted to $10,874.47,
while the receipts and the value of
the permanent improvements amount
to $13,321.83, leaving net earnings for
the year’s operations $2,246.36.
The whole farm consists of S3O
acres. The area devoted to crops in
1911-12 was 333 acres not including
pastures. Of the 333 acres 80 were
devoted to cow ppas and sorghum for
hay, 35 acres to peas and soy beans
for soil improvement, 65 acres to oats
grain, 40 acres to vetch and crimson
clover for soil improvement, 15 acres
to cotton, 40 acres to corn for grain
and 48 acres to corn and sorghum for
silage. Each year an added area of
the farm will be Improved and placed
under permanent cultivation. Mean
w-hile the fertility of cutllvated acre
age will be built up. The farm is,
therefore, in fair way to increase tire
returns each year.
This is the way the College of Agri

WILD LANDS DECREASE
AS FARM LANDS INORESE.
Atlanta, Ga., April 3—With
all Georgia’s wonderful develop
ment, this state still posseses the
advantages of the old “frontier”
as compared with many very
crowded and over populated sec
tions of the country.
The consolidation of Georgia’s
tax digest has brought to light
at t!ie capitol some facts that are
seareely realizable. The digest
show’s that wild lands decreased
nearly a million acres in extent
during last year alone, and natur
ally increased materially in value.
Farm lands throughout Georgia
increased both in acreage and in
rtinisc value. The advance in
values in Georgia is not limited,
however, to farm lands, or to
any special group of interests.
It applies also to urban territor
ies.
Town and city property w a s
valued at two hundred and fif
teen million, six hundred a nd
forty nine thousand four hundred
and ten dollars in 1011; in 1912,it
was valued at two hundred and
and seventy-seven thousand, two
hundred and eighty-five dollars.

Atlanta Women Seek to Regain
Property They Charge Was
Taken From Them.
Alleging that the present holders
of the property obtained possession
of it by unfair means, and that the
will of the late James Gillespie has
been charged by a Walton county
attorney, Mrs. PL T. Smith, of 57
Haden street, says she and Mrs.
Hugh Harrelson, of 89 West Harris
street , and tt n others of Gillespie’s
grandchildren, will begin suit in the
Walton county court for the posses
sion of 2,600 acres of land in Wal
ton, Cherokee, Oconee, Gilmer,
Marietta and Carroll counties.
Between 60 and 70 defendants
will be named in the suit. S. Dob
kin, a personal frienedof the Smith
and Harrelson families, has interest
ed himself in the case, and will
next week go to Walton county,
with attorneys, and look up the
records to ascertain the names of
the present holders of the property.
“The land was the property of
James Gillespie, grandfather, who
died in 1864.” Mrs. Smith said
today. “He made a will leaving
the property to his wife, with the*
provison that the six children be
raised and educated.
‘‘ln 1885 Alex Harrison, a son
in-law, took chaige of the property
and by foolishness made away with
most of it. Some of it he gave
away and one large tract in Walton
county he sold for a barrel of
whisky. Harrison finally ran a
way from his family and went to
Texas, where he died several years
ago. Than his son. C. M. Har
rison, got hold of some of the prop
erty and he, too, wasted it. We
know ho ne of th * p ople who hive
obtained possession of the property,
but my brother, A. A. Darby, has
made a thorough sereh and can
find no record in any of the five
counties that it has ever been legally
transferred.

To Feeble Old People.
As one grows old the waste of the
system becomes more rapid than re
pair, the organs act more siowly and
less effectually than in youth, the cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and.
digestion weak.
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and
Iron tonic without oil, is the. ideal
strengthener and body-builder for old
folks, for it contains the very ele
ments needed to rebuild wasting tis
sues and replace weakness with,
strength. Vinol also fortifies the sys
tem against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
A grandneice of Alexander Hamil
ton, over eighty years • of age, once
remarked: “Vinol is a godsend to old
people. Thanks to Vinol, I have a.
hearty appetite, sleep soundly, feel
active and well. It is the finest tonic
and strength-creator I have ever
used.”
If Vinol fails to build up the
feeble old people, and create
strength, we will return your money.
