GEORGIA’S SUPERIOR CORN
Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
Those who have purchased corn
from the West have often found that
it has heated in transit and is in a
moldy condition and therefore unlit
for food. Stomach staggers and sim
ilar diseases are largely due to feed
ing moldy or rotten corn.
This heating of corn is due to a
very considerable extent to the high
moisture content of the grain. At the
State College of Agriculture a consid
erable number of samples of corn
have been tested for moisture con
tent during several years past. An
examination of these samples reveal
ed the fact that the majority ranged
between 10 and 15 per cent in moist
ure content. With this data in hand
it has been decided that 11! per cent
Reseeding Alfalfa
John R. Fain, Profssor Of Agronomy,
Georgia State College Of Agri.
Many patches of alfalfa sown dur
ing the fall of 1914 were killed by
the November freeze. Inquiry has
been made as to whether these patch
es can be reseeded in the spring.
While a stand can be obtained in
spring, as a rule, it 1h not -as long
lived when sown in the spring as
when sown In the fall. The better
policy to pursue with reference to the
land on which the alfalfa has been
killed, is to seed to cow peas, get a
crop of hay off of the land in the
summer and then sow alfalfa again
on the pea stubble in the fall.
It is probable that as much hay
will be obtained from the cow peas
this year as will be obtained from
spring sown alfalfa. Moreover the
alfalfa that would be sown in the fall
after the cow peas, would come along
better, in all probability, than the
spring sown alfalfa for next year's
crops l .
Farmers who are trying to start to
growing alfalfa must not lie discour
aged with the unusual experience of
last fall. A good seed bed, good
drainage and inoculation will give al
falfa a start, and cutting at the right
time will have much to do with mak
ing a continued success of the plant.
Since September 1, the following
bulletins and circulars have been is
sued by the College of Agriculture for
the benefit of the farmers of Georgia:

moisture would be a proper allowance
for Number One Georgia grown corn.
This standard for Georgia is A
per cent under that which is allowed
to govern Number One corn in the
general markets of the country. Gen
erally speaking southern grown corn
has lower moisture content and as
against western corn, is less subject
to heating and molding. Gathered
with the same degree of care, south
ern corn will lie a better corn for the
trade than western corn.
Varieties of corn differ in moisture
content. Farmers should select corn
with grains fairly firm and flinty,
closely packed on a small cob. These
resist moisture to the best advantage.
Georgia farmers have a handicap
over the Western farmer and should
find no trouble in disposing of their
corn to advantage.
Barn Plans Provided
For Georgia Farmers
L. C. Hart, Professor Of Farm Me
chanics, Georgia State College
Of Agriculture
Plans for inexpensive farm build
ings have been made by The Depart
ment of Farm Mechanics of the Col
lege of Agriculture, which are now in
great demand. These plans are fur
nished free to farmers who are seek
ing information for the best lype of
barn to construct. The plans have
been made with the purpose of econ
omizing in every particular, and to
suit the various requirements of farm
ers of Georgia. Types of these build
ings are to be seen on the farm of
the College of Agriculture at Athens.
Principally from those who have seen
these barns and other buildings have
come the demands for blue prints of
the plans.
It has not been possible to pro
vide these plans promptly. Cloudy
weather prevents the development of
the blue prints and at times consider
able delay is'experienced on this ac
count.
On account of some of the building
materials being cheaper now than
they have been for some time, it
would appear to be a suitable time
to construct farm buildings.
Soil survey work has been started
in Turner county by Prof. D. D. Long
of the College and Mr. Ball of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture.
The College of Agriculture finds
buyers eager to purchase all the pure
bred live stock it is able to raise on
the College farm. Eventually, it is
hoped that a much larger supply can
be grown.
The number of county agents in ex
tension work m Georgia is greater this
year than ever before, showing that in
spite of the business depression, the
people are willing to mantain these
agents.

Doan’s Kidney Pills are for weak

I was greatly relieved of kidney and

brought me no benefits at all. Doan’s

trouble and regulated the action of

iMr. iO, IM. Bell, of Jasper, Ga., is
a traveling man, but finds time to
take notes aside from his line o?
business. Last week he was up in
Fannin county. They have no cotton
problem there, do not plant a seed,
but they need money. Says he
saw pigs sold for |52.50 that would
easily Ik- worth $7.00 at his home
in Pickens county. One of the great
needs of these mountain people is a
market for their farm products, and
a road to get to it.
It seems to me that the state could
not do a mor-e kindly service to a
long suffering people, than to build
a graded highway from Aitlanta to
Murphy, N. C. The road would be
150 miles long and would develop
unknown resources and make possi
ble the utilizing of millions of water
powers, minerals and timber whose
values now are.not even guessed at.
The counties receiving this bene
fit should be willing to help by feed
ing the state’s forces, building
bridges, donating right of ways and
in many other ways that would be
for their own material good.
Try Buchu and Juniper, for Weak
Kidneys or Bladder.
If kidneys and bladder are weak;
obliged to get up often at night, urin

these distressing symptoms is old

Compound. It neutralizes the acids
in the urin and strengthens the neck
of the bladder and cleans all impu

the worst cases of Kidney or blad

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it a
local disease and prescribed local reme
dies, and by constantly falling to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure, ninnufai tured by F. J.
Cheney & Cos., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
Constitutional cure on tin market. It is
taken internally. It acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
