Adopted Feb. 2, 1915. 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 T. H. McHatton, Professor Horticul 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. Phone Your Orders to JACKSON COCA-COLA . BOTTLING COMPANY, JACKSON, -:- GEORGIA. 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.
