President Andrew M. Soule, Georgie State College of Agriculture.
The Georgia State College of Agri
culture is being almost constantly be
sieged for trained men to
take up agricultural work, to
take positions in agricultural
colleges and high schools, to do farm
demonstration work under the co-op
eration of federal and state govern
ments, to direct corn club and girl’s
club work, to direct agricultural en
terprises of railroads and develop
ment companies, to do demonstration
work for fertiliser and seed compa
nies, to superintender.d farms and dai
ries, to engage in extension work of
various kinds, to do soil survey work,
direct drainage and reclamation enter
prises, to become foresters, etc.
The College has no trouble to place
its graduates in work for which they
are especially equipped, at good sala
ries. A great many more could be
used.

HOW FARMER CTgTiHIEST “
RETURNS FROM COTTON 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
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
portant matter. Finally, he is adding
a part of the fertilizer to liis soil in
a form which not only promotes fer

culture.
From 20 to 30 cents per square foot
can be made from hot beds and cold
frames 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 removed, 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 bed by
January 1.
A hot bed Cr “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 #ood 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 3or 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
ers, packing each down until there are
about 12 inches of manure.
If when you step on this bed of
manure the impression of the foot re
The question is, “Will the Georgia
farmer boy take these positions or will
he leave them for the farmer boys of
other states to come and take?”

This means an enormous demand for
trained agriculturists to carry on agri
cultural extension work over the en
tire country. It means a demand for
a large number of workers in Georgia.
Who is going to get ready for it?
No opening for young men is now
more attractive than those offered to
trained agriculturists, whether his ser
vices be given to directing others or
to developing the old farm at home.

mentation, but prevents the plant
food from all becoming available at
once, thus affording the crop time to
take it up and utilize it as it grows.
There is often an undue amount of
suspicion in the m uds 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 investigations of capable and inde
pendent scientific men, however, are
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 bed put 4 to
6 inches of good garden loam. Place
a thermometer in the soil, reaching
down and touching the manure bed.
When the thermometer 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 dried out.
Water the bed in time for the foliage
to dry off before night. Damp foliage
at night favors disease.
The air should be changed every
day, even on coldest days there Bhould
be at least a slight opening, taking
care always to make the opening away
from the wind, so that cold air will
not be forced in.
As time for planting in the field
draws near, the plants must be har
dened off, and on warm nights the
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 and about four inches apart the
second time when they can be put in
“flats,” that is, large flat boxes, in
which they can be carried to the field
and planted with the soil of the “flat”
still around them.
