CONVINCING EVIDENCES THAI
' SCIENTIFIC FARMING PATS IN GEORGIA
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture.
The graduates from the Georgia
State College of Agriculture speak for
themselves in every community
where they are known. They are the
most successful and progressive. One
has' reported net earnings of $4,500
out of his operations in 1912 and has
introduced anew industry in his
community.
The College farm brought an in
come of $8,581.41 in 1912 and netted
earnings of $2,246.96. A dairy herd
netted a profit of $1,817.60 or a profit
of $60.58 per cow.
Under the direction of th e College
of Agriculture and the United States
Department of Agriculture the hoys of
thj‘ Corn Clubs produced approximate
ly 400,000 bushels of corn at net profit
of $214,000. One girl netted in the
tomato club $69.15 on one-tenth of an
acre or nearly S7OO per acre. The
average profit per tenth acre of all
girls in the tomato clubs during 1912
was $24.88 or $248 per acre.
By use of crop rotations, legumes,
soil improvement and seed selection
the College has shown on its own
farm an increase in corn from 11 to
100 bushels per acre and of cotton
from one-half to three bales per acre.
IT PAYS TO BREED CORN
John R. Fain, Professor of Agronomy,
Georgia State College of Agriculture.
Tests conducted at the College
farm show that one ear of corn —
the best looking—produced at the rate
A
£>f 70 bushels to the acre. Another ear
of the same variety, not so fine look
ing, produced at the rate of 144 bush
els to the acre. In another test of
two ears of the same variety a differ
ence of from 37 to 70 bushels to an
acre was produced. - '
TJ* same mimblr of grains in the
same number of hills and cultivation
URfler like conditions w T ere used in
tlie'se tests. There can be no doubt
about accuracy of the conclusions.

Farmers in co-operation with dem
onstration agents showed that under
right selection of varieties of corn
a yield of an average of 64 bushels
per acre as against 44 bushels per
acre for inferior varieties. Demonstra
tions in apple culture have shown 95
per cent, of crop is made salable,
where the unsprayed showed only 5
per cent, salable.
In co-operation with the Central of
Georgia railroad, forty-acre farms
several in number —each operated by
one man and two mules in 1912,
showed profits where money was lost
on many adjoining farms.
Three thousand corn demonstrators
in Georgia located in 60 counties with
acreage 15,000, produced an average
yield of 35 bushels or three times tbe
average for the state. Three thou
sand cotton demonstrators in 60 coun
ties with acreage planted 12,000, pro
duced 1,250 pounds seed cotton or
three times the average of the state.
Many more instances might be re
counted, but these figures and the
thousands of Georgia farmers who
have actually tried out the modern
methods taught by the College, make
it necessary to go no further.
From these tests it is clear that the
best-looking corn is not always the
best seed corn. Other methods must
be employed to increase the yields.
An increased number of farmers
of Georgia have determined to en
gage in breeding corn this year and
build up the yielding power of this
crop. To do this they will conduct
plat tests, keeping accurate tab on
each ear. When the corn has tassel
ed, they will remove the tassels from
alternating hills to make sure that
the corn is fertilized by another stalk
and not by itself. From these talks
that have been detasseled will be
taken the seed corn for the next
- .r* >-*
year.
The best ears will be chosen from
this lot for the following year's tests,
while the rest are used in planting
the field. Germinating tests will, of
course, be made before planting.
