President Andrew M. Soule, State College of Agriculture.
Every community should have a
corn study day. The fanners should
get together and go through the dif
ferent fields examining and judging
for themselves of the relative merits
of the different strains produced, the
difference in fertilization and soil be
ing taken into consideration.
It would be well for the teachers
and the boys and girls to meet in such
a conference, or possibly the school
might be made the center of such an
enterprise as this 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
shortly become one of the most im
portant outings for pleasure and prof
it In every community which partici
pates in this movement.
After having decided on the best va
rieties for growth in a given commu
nity, the \vork of selection should then
proceed systematically. On most of our
soils it will be well to select seed from
plants which have two well-developed
ears. The medium siz-?d ear sorts will
be found more satisfactory for growth
on our average Georgia soil than the
big-eared varieites. The growth of
big-eared var eties had best be con
fined largely to bottom lands. The
ears chosen should be from plants
SOIL sun WORK.
W. A. Worsham, Professor of Agricul
tural Chemistry.
The College of Agriculture In co-op
eration with the Bureau of Soils of the
United States, has undertaken the soil
survey of Terrell, Clay, Colquitt, Tur
ner and Tattnall counties, the counties
to be taken in the order mentioned.
The physical survey work will be in
the hands of David D. Long for the
College of Agriculture, who will co-op
erate w ith such persons as are assign
ed to the territory by the Bureau of
Soils.
A physical survey of Habersham
county has been completed recently.
Government bulletins have been is
sued lately on Ben Hill, Daugherty
and Chattooga counties. These re
port the physical survey. The Depart
ment of Agricultural Chemistry of the
College, which is making chemical an
alyses of the various types of soil
found, to determine plant food con
terlt, has issued report on Ben Hill
county and has datu complete on two
other counties which will be Issued In

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 seo
ond, they const-tute the lungs of the
plaDt and enable it to manufacture
food more rapidly and completely. The
ears should be selected from a stalk
which has Flood up well throughout
the season and is not bo tail or slim
mat 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 Bhanks. 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
hard and flinty and free from weevil
damage. The rows should be tightly
packed together on the cob and the
grain of uniform size from tip to butt.
All these things have an importartt
bearing on the future crop for if the
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 will be as vig
orously developed as Is well shaped
seeds.

J, Phil Campbell, State Agent Boys’
and Girls’ Club Work.
Supplementing the Corn Club
work and developing it along
natural lines, the State College
of Agriculture and the Department
of Farm Demonstration Work of the
United States in co-operation, have be
gun a four-crop contest. Into this con
test five boys from each county and
five farmers can enter. The crops to
be used are oats followed by cowpeas,
after the peas corn and after the corn
cotton. Three acres are required and
three years in which to complete the
program of crop rotation.
Boys who enter the four-crop con
test must be between 10 and 21 years
of age. The only difference between
the boys’ contest and the farmers’ con
test is that the farmer is required to
put in a winter cover crop, preferably
u clover.
Theso contests will be directed and
supervised by the farm demonstration
[agents wherever these demonstration
I agents are to be found In a county.

Ship Loads With 56,534 Crossties.

the largestc argo of crossties ever
shipped from' any port in the world
went forward from Brunswick on the
steamship Evelyn. The cargo consist
ed of exactly 56,534 ties, every one of
which were cut in this immediate vi

ing vessels as well as steamers have
often sailed from this port with as
many as 40,000 or 45,000 ties, and on
one or two occasions large steamers
have carried as many as 50,000, but
this is the first time for $50,000.

"Bomb” Strikes South Dakota.
San Francisco. —As the United

in through the Golden Gate, Silas
Christofferson, in a biplane, swept over
the warship and dropped a sand

an aviation meet at the Panama Pa

l.ittle Edwin Everett Hale was
the third child and youngest son
of Mr and Mrs W. A. Hale of At*
lanta, Ga. and a grandson of Mr
and H. J. Hale of Winder. He
passed away Nov. 13 1913 after a
long and mysterious illness. For
about eleven weeks this beautiful,
intelligent little hoy suffered the
keenest agonies and through it all
he was wonderfully patient and
cheerful for a child. He underwent
severest examinations, but to no
avail. The cause of his sad and ill
timed death remains a raysterv.
Among the myriads of l>eautiful
flowers which covered his little
grave he was the fairest of them all
and the one whom God selected to
wear imperishable forever upon his
holy and paternal bosom. The
funeral was held at Gordon Street
Methodist Church and interment
took place in West View Cemetery.
Oh no! He is not lost the loved and
cherished;
Tho slumbering deep beneath the sod,
’Tis but the little body that has
perished,
While he has gone before us unto God,
Thy sweet and laughing voice is
hushed
Thy warm true heart is still, and on thy
young and spotless brow
Is resting death's cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast,
We’ve kissed thy preeious brow,
And in our aching hearts we know
We have no Everett now.
Those full red lips so sweet to kiss,
Those sparkling eyes so bright,
Those pattering feet and chubby
hands,
Belong to God by right.
That little heart that beat so high
Free from all care and gloom
Is hidden now from those he
loved,
Beneath the silent tomb
Another little lamb is gone
To dwell with him who gave
Another little darling boy
Is shelered in the grave.
God needed one more angel child
Admist his shining band,
And so he bent with tender care and
clasped our darling’s hand.

Pigs and Babies
From the Knoxville Sentinel.
In Minnesota there is a farmer,
of 320 acres, who is known for his
progressiveness. He breeds register
ed pigs and draft horses. He was
the first man in the state to use the
hog cholera serum. Yet, the Min
nesota board of health says his
family lias been decimated by tuber
culosis and he lias taken no steps
to do away with the conditions that
have caused their infection. This
is not because he is a heartless man.
It is because his thoughts was on
pigs and horses and not on his
family and it never occurred to him
that infection of children can be
checked by the same methods that
have proved successful with pigs.
