Agricultural Short Course and
Profitable Diversified Fanning
Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
It is all important that if you are
going to raise other crops than cottoh
that you know what to raise and how
to raise it.— You cannot afford to
learn by costly experience. You can
pick up valuable information here and
there, and you will pick up some that
is good and some harmful without
knowing which is good and which is
bad till you have tried it.
Reliable and workable information
is the sort which a College of Agri
culture offers, because such informa
tion has been thoroughly tested and
compared with experiences from all
the world. The business of such an
institution In teaching farmers is to
teach them right, to offer the truth
that has been determined by painstak
ing testing, perhaps for years, with ev
ery element of error or doubt removed
as far as it is possible to remove it.
For these reasons the progressive
farmers have come to value agricul
tural colleges highly and to make use
of the short courses.
In Georgia a crisis is faced. It
will be unprofitable to raise the usual
amount of cotton next year. Misfor
TREATING SEED IRISH POTATOES

ture, Georgia State Col. of Agr.
Irish potato scab, one of the most
serious diseases affecting Irish pota
toes, is a fungus disease that can be
carried to a field on the seed planted.
There Is But One
Well everything is right side up again.
“The other fellow” is handling Coca
tfi Cola, because he knows there is “noth
fM * ng as good.” Everybody handles
MX because everybody drinks it.
ygfWjA Drink a bottle. Get rid of the grouch.
Mr. Asa G. Candler has well sugges
ted it is time to quit talking hard times,
and do something. He generously
started the move to advance money on
cotton, and all the banks are following.
So get a bottle of Coca Cola, and put
on a smile. Be sure you get the genuine.

More than nine million young
trees and ten thousand pounds of
seed were planted on the nation
al forests in 1914.
tune has already fallen upon the cot
ton crop of the past season. The farm
er must extricate himself from his
difficulties by keeping his acres at
work for him, growing some other
crop. What it will be, what is best
adapted to his soil, to his market, to
his farm program, should be ascertain
ed, and then the cotton fanner should
set about growing these crops by ap
proved methods, with economic ma
chinery and with scientifically cor
rect rotation.
The Georgia State College of Agri
culture cannot carry the desired in
formation to the fanner half so ef
fectively in any way than by means
of the short course of ten days that
it offers to farmers at the beginning
of each new year. The facilities for
instruction, the object lessons and il
lustrations of the College laboratories
and the farm, are of greatest value
in imparting information along the
various lines that farmers of Georgia
are now seeking.
Any one can come. An admission
fee of only $1 is charged. The ten
days spent at the College will make
broader men and better farmers.
To combat it, a rotation of crops
should be practiced and the seed used
should be treated as follows: Put one
pint of 40 per cent formalin into
from 35 to 40 gallons of water. Put
the seed into this solution before they
are cut and let them remain for about
three hours. Remove, dry and cut into'
seed.
It is estimated that the govern
ment s Grand Canyon game ref
uge. in Arizona, now contains
about ten thousand deer.
