A bulletin has just been issued bv
Ifle Georgia State College of Agricul

■ purpose of which has been to set forth
|>defb’ and plainly the most important
I futures of successful pecan culture'
| ffl Georgia. It is issued in answer to
Ia wide spread demand for information
the subject within the state- The
I College is conducting experiments in
I pecan growing, about which it will
I eventually report. The present bulle-
I tin is designed to provide general in-
I formation about varieties, best cultu
ral methods, protection from diseases
and insects, marketing, etc. It can
be obtained free by writing to the
College. Every Georgia farmer can
grow at least a few trees.
Some of the records of individual
trees and orchards are given and
probable income is discussed.

WHY, JEFF.
Jeff Livingston, who, in spite of
the fact that he is the president of
the great Snider Preserve Company
and a millionaire, is as democratic
as his first name, was once a poor
hoy and wore his rags and patches
with the rest of the kids. Jeff occa
sionally finds time to indulge in a
Jittle literary work and his most re
rent effusion is founded upon an in
t'dent in his early career. Here it is:
Two ladies met a boy one day;
His legs were briar-scratched,
His clothes were blue, but a nut
brown hue
Marked the place where his pants
were patched.
' RI - v bubbled with joy at the blue
clad boy
' l! ii his spot of nut-brown hue.
'''by didn’t you patch with a color
to match,”
ihey chuckled, “Why not with blue.
° me , don’t be coy, my blue-brown
boy, | . ; j
Speak out,” and they laughed with
glee; j
! he blushed rose-red, while he
bashfully said:
1 at ain’t no patch; that’s me.”

may be of some assistance in this
respect. A sine •application of fertil
izer of the same analysis should be
made at the rate of about 200 pounds
to the acre about six weeks after
planting.
But if the land is carefully prepan
ed and liberally fertilized, it does not
follow that there will be a good crop
unless the seed are well selected and
proper cultivation is given. Obtain
seed of a variety that has done well
in your locality, test the seed for
germination strength and plant seed
only from ears showing high record in
germination.
Give frequent, shallow cultivation
till the ear is fully developed. Culti
vation is often stopped at the wrong
time. Deep plowing during cultiva
tion destroys roots and does much in
jury. It is therefore important that
only shallow cultivation be given and
that a mulch be maintained as con
stantly as possible between the rows.

Small Farms
CHEAP
In addition to the good
values we have in
WINDER
city property and surrounding
farms, we also have in
$
fiddle Georgia
just what the small farmer needs.
In the very best sections we have
small tracts of land, conveniently loca=
ted, well improved for SIO.OO and sls
per acre with easy terms.
Many a good farmer in this sec
tion is paying rent on $40.00 to $50.00
land and at the end of five years, has
done well if he holds his own. Rents
he pays will give him a deed to a good
farm we have in Middle Georgia at
the end of five years.
