Farmers’ Conferences
At Agricultural College
President Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of
Agriculture
' During the first three weeks of each
new year the farmers of Georgia have
right of way at the College of Agri
culture. From the 4th to the 15th
of January there will be the annual
(Session of the Short Course for farm
ers, following which come the annual
meetings of the Georgia Breeders’ As
sociation, the Georgia Dairy and Live
stock Association and the Georgia
fetate Horticultural Society.
*On actmunt of the great growth of
the number of students for the Junior
courses at the Short Course, it has
been deemed essential that the boys
Ahd girls should be taught at another
time, hence arrangements are being
jnade to teach them in midsummer.
The Short Courses at the first of
t&e year, will, therefore, be restricted
1 6 mature men and women. Among
those who will be present will be
the demonstration agents from all
parts of the state. They, too, will at
tend a short course for their special
benefit.
‘ The work of the Short Course will
f>e happily consummated by, the at
tendance of the farmers upon the meet
ings of the various associations men

Playing Safe In
The Cotton Game
J. Phil Campbell, Director Extension
Division, Georgia State Col
lege Of Agriculture
High price cotton is a seductive si
ren beckoning southern farmers back
into tho breakers of the single crop
system. Be wise and do not be mis
led again. Engage In "Safe Farm
ing.” Raise cotton, but fortify it wilh
corn, oats, wheat, legumes livestock,
vegetables, so that no one will be
able to take your cotton from you
for a song. No matter how much cot
ton will be bringing next year, it will
be worth more to you if you do not
have to pay out your cotton money
for home supplies. In other words,
save your cotton money by living on
home-raised products.
Let us see how it can be done:
First. Produce a home garden for
every family on the farm giving spe
cial attention to raising sufficient
Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes and sir
up.
Second. Produce corn necessary to
support all the people and the live
stock on the farm.
Third. Produce enough oats to feed
the animals along with corn. Pay at
tention to winter grazing.
Fourth. Produce hay and forage
crop, sufficient to supply all the live-
NATURE IN A BLAZE.
jorgeous Spectacle of the Midnight Sun
at Karungi.
1 was glad I stopped nt Karungl,
Sweden, for I saw the n Id night sun—
the almost midnight sun, to be exact,
for although it was noonday bright all
night the sun did make a bluff at set
ting. It went down at twenty minutes
to 12 and rose twenty minutes after 12.
The sun went down blood red, and
the sky was crimsoned almost to the
zenith. It seemed as if all the north
were on tire. The river burned In the
glow, and the sky took on tints that
ranged from cardinal to pink. Just as
the whole place seemed about to burst
into flame, the sun dropped out of
sight, and the glaring reds began to
mellow into softer shades, the river
lost its glow of tire, and the sky dulled
and dimmed until it looked like a great
Inverted dome that had been white
hot and was cooling slowly.
There were no other shades than tho
shades of fire—none of the usual ma
roons and cerises and garnets that
come as the aftermath of mountain
sunsets. Everything was carmine.
The air quivered redly, and the trees
and the grass were ruDescent, All
this softened gradually iuto a glowing
one toned muss of color. Then, at
twenty minutes past 12, at a point
that seemed not more than half a mile
along the horizon from the place where
the sun disappeared, there came a
golden glory that spread evenly over
the reddened sky. The sun was rising
and soon was above the horizon. It
went down as red as fire. It came up
bright, glittering, gleaming, as if dur
ing the forty minutes it had been be
low the horizon some titanic hand had
polished it for another day’s use.

are men of special fitness and na
tional prominence to speak at these
meetings on various phases of agri
culture. It will be the case again at
the coming conferences.
At these meetings are brought to
gether the experts who have been
finding out truths about agriculture
by scientific procedure, and also prac
tical, wide-awake farmers. The inter
change of facts, the answered ques
tions, the new discoveries all cbnspire
to make the meetings of the very
greatest Importance to the farmer.
Ideas obtained from these conferences
have been converted into farm suc
cesses. The conferences pay.
These meetings afford the greatest
opportunities for the expression of
policies having to do with the wel
fare of the farmers of Georgia. They
provide the forum and the opportun
ity to plead for Georgia’s agriculture—
the largest single interest within the
state.

stock on the farm, preferably legumes
such as clover, cowpeas, velvet beans,
soy beans and alfalfa.
Fifth. Produce meat to supply the
people. Start with poultry and hogs
and increase the number of cattle and
other livestock.
Sixth. After these things have been
provided for, grow cotton for the mar
ket.
Fall and Winter
Manuring Of Garden
T. H. McHatton, Professor Of Hortl
culture, Georgia State College
Of Agriculture
Manure the garden in the fall by
applying at least 15 two-horse loads
per acre. Leave it on the surface till
the spring plowing. In the spring be
fore the manure is turned under, ap
ply from 500 to 1,000 pounds of phos
phoric acid. This will make a com
pleter fertilizer, or provide more near
ly for all the plant food requirements.
The farmer may choose from the fol
lowing list of crops immune or resist
ant to root-knot those best suited to
his needs: barley, beggarwe/ed, Brab
ham cowpea, broom-corn millet, corn,
crab grass, Iron cowpea, peanut, pearl
millet, rye, sorghum, velvet bean,
wheat and winter oats.
DARING WORKMEN.
Awning Removers Take Greater Risks
Than Do Steeplejacks.
Steeplejacks have long enjoyed a rep
utation for daring, but it is a question
whether they come in the same class
of riskers as the awning removers,
who take down the “sunshades” from
the fronts of houses nil over the city.
These removers do not need or use the
rope and block and fall accessories of
the steeple men. Yet they climb to
places and do their work In what
seems to be an impossible manner.
Start ins at the street level, two or
three awning removers will strip the
entire front of a flat house and never
go indoors. They are ns agile as acro
bats. They reach up to a window sill
and then raise themselves to the win
dow ledge. Finishing the window
while standing on this ledge, they seize
the top stone of the window, pull them
selves up to it and from there reach
again to the window ledge above so as
to strip another window. Through the
belt they wear runs a line, and with
this they lower the awnings as they
take them down.
How they can do their work with so
little to hang on to is more remarkable
than the tasks performed by the struc
tural Ironworkers. The Ironworker, if
lie slips, has something at hand In the
way of a beam around which he has a
chance to look bis arms. The awning
remover, when he slips, falls outward
from the ledge and has nothing to
clutch. Three awning removers on one
occasion stripped a seven story flat of
seventy five windows In the Bronx in
the remarkable time of three hours, all
from the outside. —New York Sun.
