Increasing The Corn Yield In Georgia Plrpg. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture Intended tor corn should be l<aooeatiljr prepared. Deep plowing E accommodate the deep root system the plant la advisable. It Is essen tl that organic matter be added to jOeergla soils either in the form of ffreen manuring or as barnyard man lore or In the form of leaves and lit ter from the woods, or in compost. This gives not only protection against drouth, but the decay adds humus and plant food. Corn requires a soli rich In nitro gen. One hundred bushels of corn removes from the soil about ISO pounds of this element. At the time ef planting apply not less than 500 per acre of a fertiliser analyz ing four per cent organic nitrogen, 9 jper cent phosphoric held add two or fhree per cent potash. If potash is 'hot available from Germany, unleach ed wood ashes or cotton seed meal Fecan Culture In Georgia J. W. Flror, Adjunct-Professor Of Hor ticulture, Georgia State College Of Agriculture A bulletin has just been issued by the Georgia State College of Agricul ture on Pecan Culture in Georgia, the purpose of which has been to set forth briefly and plainly the most important features of successful pecan culture in Georgia. It is issued in answer to a wide-spread demand for information on the subject within the state. The College is conducting experiments in pecan growing, about which it will eventually report. The present bulle tin Is designed to provide general In formation about varieties, best cultu ral methods, protection from diseases -and insects, marketing, etc. It can he 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. Cotton Variety Tests I_. E. Rast, In Charge Of Cotton In dustry, Ga. State College Of Agr. The varieties that give best results at the College plats, in the order of ,yields for the year 1914, were as fol lows: Sunbeam, Cleveland Big 8011, Cooks Improved, Hoopers, Bice, Cleve land Big 8011, Meadow, Sunbeam 80, Culpepper, Sunbeam 64, Caldwell, Christopher, Livesey*s Early, Texas Bur, Brown's No. 1, Brown’s No. 3, Incubation And Brooding Of Chicks Roy F. Irvin, Poultryman, Georgia State College of Agriculture. Hatch the chicks early by use of the incubator. Early-hatched birds are strong and lay eggs in the fall and winter when the price is high. Late-hatched birds do not amount to much as layers. They are weaker and not successful as money-makers. How to get the chicks hatched in the winter and how to take care of them is the subject of a bulletin just issued by the College of Agriculture, which can be obtained by merely writ ing for it. It is possible for this state to pro duce its own chickens and eggs and have some to sell. Those who would enter the poultry business and suc ceed must have special knowledge. The best information should he ob tained from bulletins and other publi cations. Market Standard For Hay and Grain The Agronomy Division of the Georgia State College of Agriculture has issued a placard 18x24 inches in alse entitled “Market Standards for Georgia Hay and Grain.” These pla cards are being posted at country stores, court houses and public places over the state for the benefit of the '' FROST PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS £• b ; 10 Uj 24 000 and over < (hipped at one time,) Tsc per 1,000, *>,ooo and at 90c per 1,000 19 10 24,'xwaau U jand.Ov plant, are a* g ood a. the best, oar. s. £ CBSON CO.. £&>' 5 P C. may be of some assistance In this respect A side application of fertil iser of the same analysis should be made at the rata of about 100 pounds to the acre about sis weeks after planting. But If the land Is carefully prepar ed and liberally fertilised, 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 la 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 eer is tally 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. Variety Tests With Com John R. Fain, Professor Of Agronomy, Georgia State College Of Agriculture In tests conducted at Quitman and Ashburn In South Georgia, It was found that the following varieties of corn 3tood as the first six best yielders: Whatley 51.1, Hastings Prolific 41.8, Scott’s Southern Prolific 40.7, Riches 39.5, Sparks Prolific 37.9, Rasts 37.7. Other kinds tried were Waltons, Mc- Lendons, Marlborough, Watkins, Lit tle Cob, Turner County, Gunter and Gulf Coast.

A bulletin has been issued from the College, entitled “Spray Calendar for Georgia.” It is designed to meet a wide-spread demand for information of this kind in the state. How to make spray material and how to apply it to various fruits and vegetables are set forth plainly enough for any farmer to successfully make the spray material and apply it. Upon the success in combatting plant diseases and insects frequently depends the success of growing fruits and vegetables. No farmer should be without a spraying outfit and the nec essary knowledge of how to apply sprays. The spray bulletin can be had by writing to the College for it, as long as the supply lasts. farmers who need education in meth ods of grading hay and grain this year especially, that they may dis pose of crops other than cotton to a disadvantage. The suggestions In the placard are based on regulations applying in the markets generally with variations to apply to hay crops that are grown In Georgia, but are not listed In hay mar ket centers.
