What Our Folks Say About F. J.
“I have had more help, encouragement and enjoy
ment out of it in one year than I did out of iny other papers in ten
years,” says C. M. Persons.
•Itis a queer little paper. I have sometimes read
it through ami thought I was done with it. then pick it up again
and find something new to interest me,” says Alfred Kroglt.
“Farm Journal is like a bit of sunshine in our home.
It is making a better class of people out of farmers. It was first
sent me as a Christmas present, and I think it the choicest present
I ever received,” says I’. R. LeValley.
“We have read vour dear little paper for nearly 40
vears. Now wc don ’t live on the farm any more, yet I still have a
hankering for the old paper. I feel that I belong to the family, and
evi l y page is as dear and familiar as the faces of old It lends, says
Mrs. li. W. Edwards.
“1 fear F neglect my business to read it. I wish it
could be in the hands of every farmer in Virginia,’’ says W. S. Cline.
“I live in a town where the-yard is only 1.5 x 18 feet,
lmt I could not do without the Farm Journal,” says Miss Sara
Carpenter.
“I get lots of books and papers, and put them aside
for future? leading. The only paper 1 scum to have in m> hands
all the lime? is harm Journal. I can't finish reading it. Can t u
make it less interesting, so I can have a chance at iny other
papers i' ” w iites John Swail.
“It I am lonesome, down-hearted, or tired, I goto
harm Journal for comfort, next to the Bible, says Mabel Dewitt.
“Farm Journal lias a cheerful vein running through
it that makes it a splendid cure for the “blues.” W hen coining
home tired in mind and body, 1 sit down and rear! it, and it seems
to give me new inspiration for life,” writes G. E. Haldermati.
“\\’e have a brother-in-law who loves a joke. We
live in Create! New York, and consider ourselves quite citified, so
when lie sent us tin- Farm Journal as a New Year’s gift wc nearly
died laughing. ’How to raise hogs’—we who only use bacon in
jus’ ’Mow to keep rows clean’—when we use condensed
milk even for rite pudding! ‘How to plant onion s’-when we
never plant am thing more fragrant than lilies of the valley. I
accepted the gift with thanks, tor we are too well-bred to look a
gilt horse in the mouth. Soon my eye was caught by a beautiful
poem I began to lead it, then when I wanted the Farm Journal
1 i,mild mv husband deeply interested in an article. Then my
oldest son began to ask. ‘lias the Farm Journal come vet ?’ He is
a jeweler, and hasn't much time for literature; but we find so niucn
interest and uplift in this fine paper that we appreciate our Isew
Year’s gift more and more,” writes Ella B. Burkman.
“I recwved ‘Corn Secrets’ and ‘Poultry Secrets.’
and consider them worth their weight in gold," says W. G. Kuwait.
“What your Fry Book tells would take a beginner
years todearn,” says Roy Chaney.
“I luck Dollars is the best book I ever had on duck
raising,” says F. M. Warnock.
“If vour other booklets contain as much valuable
information as the Egg-Book, I would consider them cheap at
double the price," says.ld \V. Mansfield.
“I think your Egg-Book is a wonder,” says
C. I*. Shirev. 1
“Th- Farm Journal beats them all. Every issue lias
reminders and ideas worth a year’s subscription," writes
I II Potter.
“One tear aeo I took another agricultural paper,
and it look a whole column to tell what Farm Journal tells in
one paragraph,” says N. M. Gladwin.
“It ought ti/bc in every home where there is a chick,
a child, a cow, a cherry, or a cucumber,” rays I. U. llordits.

BY STAFF OF GA. STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE
Farmers’ Cooperative Demonstration
Work Reorganized and Enlarged
President Andrew M. Soule.
At the first of the present year co
operative arrangements between the
State College of Agriculture and the
United States Department of Agricul
ture were perfected, by which Prof.
J. Phil Campbell of the college, be
came state agent in charge, and a re
organization took place. Now the dem
onstration work of the college and the
government is combined and an out
line of work has been planned which
will mean much for the Georgia farm
er. Mr. Campbell is still at the head
of the’ corn club work. Hon. Brad
ford Knapp of Washington, D. C.,
special agent in charge of farm dem
onstration work of the government,
says of the combination of forces :
FAVOR ENLARGING COLLEGE
WORK.
I
The annual meeetings of the Geor
gia Horticultural Society, the Geor
gia Breeders’ Association and the
Georgia Dairy and Live Stock Associ
ation, all passed resolutions addressed
to the legislature asking for appro
priations to enlarge the work of the
college and provide room and appli
ances for teaching the rapidly grow
ing student body. The resolutions are
similar and a dopy of one is as fol
lows:
‘‘Resolved, That we hereby petition
the general assembly of Georgia to
provide the most liberal appropriation
for the Georgia State College of Agri
culture, Athens, Georgia. Authentic
reports prove that during the past
five years the activities of the Col
lege of Agriculture have materially
increased the yield and production of
our principal crops. The State Col
lege of Agriculture needs liberal fi
nancial assistance to erect additional
buildings, maintain demonstration
work, which includes farmers’ insti
tutes, agricultural extension schools,
teachers’ institutes, boys’ and girls’
clubs, farm demonstrations, soil sur
veys, fertilizer test plats, horticultu
ral investigations, plant and animal
breeding centers, field work in live
stock and dairying and poultry hus
bandry.

Respectfully,
‘‘lt seems to us very fitting. We con
gratulate ourselves and I feel like
congratulating the people of Georgia
upon the perfecting of this organiza
tion and the uniting of the efforts ot
the great State College of Agricul
ture which you have established in :
your state, and the United States Det
partment of Agriculture, for render
ing the best possible service to the
farmers of the state of Georgia.”
As Mr. Knapp has aptly stated on
another occasion: “The campus of!
the college has been extended to the
whole state.” The sixty-odd farm
demonstrators will be in close con
nection with the working of the col
lege, and in fact may be said to now
be a part of its field force.
“The general assembly of Georgia,
should ,in our judgment, appropriate
a much larger proportion of the
state’s revenue to the advancement ofi
our agricultural interests now being)
so ably promoted by the State Col
lege of Agriculture. Your favorable!
support of this request will meet with.)
the hearty approval of your constitu-l
ents."’
FERTILIZING BEARING ORCHARDS^
T. H. McHatton, Professor
Horticulture.
Query—What application of fertiliz
er should be made for hearing or*
chards?
Apply 1-2 pound cotton seed meal,
1-2 pound nitrate of soda, 3 pounds
acid phosphate, l pound muriate ofi
potash at the rate of 500 pounds tot
the acre of 100 peach trees. Put 5c
pounds in circles round each tree,
the greater portion being several feett
from the trunk. If applied broad
cast use 600 to 700 pounds per acre.
If less than 100 trees to acre divida
the 500 pounds equally per tree, andl
apply. Fertilizer should be applied!
to bearing trees in the form above
mentioned if a crop of legumes have*-
been turned under during the preced
ing season. If such a crop has note
been turned under, the cotton seed!
meal can be increased.
