Goodman, Secretary and Treasurer. Sworn to and subscribed before me this 15 day of February, 1915. J. H. Ham, Ordinary. GEORGIA’S SUPERIOR CORN Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture Those who have purchased corn from the West have often found that it has heated in transit and is in a moldy condition and therefore unfit for food. Stomach staggers and sim ilar diseases are largely due to feed ing moldy or rotten corn. This heating of corn is due to a very considerable extent to the high moisture content of the grain. At the State College of Agriculture a consid erable number of samples of com have been tested for moisture con tent during several years past. An examination of theso samples reveal ed the fact that the majority ranged between 10 and 15 per cent in moist ure content. With this data in hand it has been decided that 12 per cent The Man Who Knows How jjjjjmerous’’ but there are plenty who W practical mechanical knowledge is 1 absolutely necessary, and it takes time t 0 acc|uire the necessary skill. J We make a specialty of Automobile repairs of si] kinds, and also keep a moisture would be a proper allowance for Number One Georgia grown corn. This standard for Georgia is 3 per cent under that which is allowed to govern Number One com in the general markets of the country. Gen erally speaking southern grown corn has lower moisture content and as against western corn, is less subject to heating and molding. Gathered with the same degree of care, south ern com will be a better com for the trade than western corn. Varieties of corn differ in moisture content. Farmers should select corn with grains fairly firm and flinty, closely packed on a small cob. These resist moisture to the best adva*. age. Georgia farmers have a handicap over the Western farmer and should find no trouble in disposing of their com to advantage.
