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 my other papers ill ten
years," says C. M. Persons.
•* It is a queer little paper. I have sometimes read
It through and thought I was done with it, then pick it up again
and find something new to interest me," says Alfred krogb.
“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 P. R. LeValley.
“We have read your dear little paper for nearly 40
years. Now we 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
every page is as dear and familiar as the faces of old friends, says
Mrs. B. W. Edwards.
“I fear I neglect my business to read it. I wish it
could be in the hands of every farmer in Virginia,” saysW. 3. Cline.
“I live in a town where the yard is only 15 x 18 feet,
but 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 reading. The only paper 1 seem to have in my hands
all the time is Farm Journal. 1 can’t finish reading it. Can t you
make it less interesting, so I can have a chance at my other
papers?" writes John Swail.
“If I am lonesome, down-hearted, or tired, I go to
Farm Journal for comfort, next to the Bible," says Mabel Dewitt.
“Farm Journal has a cheerful vein running through
it that makes it a splendid cure for the "blues." When coming
home tired in mind and body, I sit down and read it. an<l it seems
to give me new inspiration for life," writes G. E. Halderman.
“We have a brother-in-law who loves a joke. We
live in Greater New York, and consider ourselves quite citified, so
when he sent us the Farm Journal as a New Year’s gift we nearly
died laughing. ‘How to raise hogs’—we who only use bacon in
gliss jars! ‘How to keep cows clean’—when we use condensed
milk even for rice pudding 1 ‘How to plant onions’—when we
never plant anything more fragrant than lilies of the valley. I
accepted the gift with thanks, for we are too well-bred to look a
gilt horse in the mouth. Soon my eye was caught by a beautiful
poem. 1 began to read it, then when I wanted the barm Journal
I toutid my husband deeply interested in an article. Then my
oldest son began to ask, ‘lias the Farm Journal come yet ?’ He is
a jeweler, and hasn’t much time for literature; but we find so much
interest and uplift in this fine paper that we appreciate our New
Year’s gift more and more," writes Ella B. Burkinan.
“I received ‘Corn Secrets’ and ‘Poultry Secrets,’
and consider them worth their weight Hi gold," saystV. Cl. Nawall,
“What your Egg Book tells would take a beginner
years to*learn," says Roy Chancy.
“Duck Dollars i- the best bock I ever had on dnek^
raising," says F. M. Warnock.
“If vour other booklets contain as much valuable
Information ah the R- e-Book, 1 would consider them chH> at
double tin- price,” say* F. W. Mansfield.
“1 think your Egg-Book is a wonder,” says
C. P. Shilov.
"The 1 .u ni Journal beats them nil. Ev ry issue has
reminders and ideas worth a year's subscription," writes
T. 11. Pottci.
“One year aeo 1 took another agricultural |wr,
and it look .< whole column to tell what Fatm Journal Utils iu
ouc janjcnipit," says N. M. t.ktdwin.
•it ought to be in every home where there is a'chick,
a child, ;i COW, a chert v. or a cucumber,” says 1. D. Rordus.
BY STAFF OF GA. STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE
COKING EVIDENCES THAI
SCIENTIFIC FARMING PAYS IN GEORGIA
! “Jj Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture.
The graduates from the Georgia
State College of Agriculture speak for
themselves tn every community
where they are known. They are the
most successful and progressive. One
has reported net earnings of $4,500
out of his operations in 1912 and has
introduced anew industry in his
community.
The College farm brought an in
come of $8,581.41 in 1912 and netted
earnings of $2,246.96. A dairy herd
netted a profit of $1,817.60 or a profit
of $60.58 per cow.
Under the direction of th e College
of Agriculture and the United States
Department of Agriculture the boys of
the Corn Clubs produced approximate
ly 400,000 bushels of corn at net profit
of $244,000. One girl netted in the
tomato club $69.15 on one-tenth of an
acre or nearly S7OO per acre. The
average profit per tenth acre of all
girls in the tomato clubs during 1912
was $24.88 or $248 per acre.
By use of crop rotations, legumes,
soil improvement and seed selection,
the College has shown on its own
farm an increase in corn from 11 to
100 bushels per acre and of cotton
from one-half to three bales per acre.
II PAYS TO BREED CORN
John R. Fain, Professor of Agronomy,
Georgia State College of Agriculture.
Tests conducted at the College
farm show that one ear of corn—
the best looking—produced at the rate
of 70 bushels to the acre. Another ear
of the same variety, not so fine look
ing, produced at the rate of 144 bush
els to the acre, in another te6t of
two ears of the same variety a differ
ence of from 37 to 70 bushels to an
acre was produced.
The same number of grains In the
same number of hills and cultivation
under like conditions were used in
these tests. There can be no doubt

Farmers in co-operation with dem
onstration agents showed that under
right selection of varieties of corn
a yield of an average of 64 bushels
per acre as against 44 bushels per
acre for inferior varieties. Demonstra
tions in apple culture have shown 95
per cent, of crop is made salable,
where the unsprayed showed only 5
per cent, salable.
In co-operation with the Central of
Georgia railroad, forty-acre farms
several in number —each operated by
one man and two mules in 1912,
showed profits where money was lost
on many adjoining farms.
Three thousand corn demonstrators
in Georgia located In 60 counties with
acreage 15,000, produced an average
yield of 35 bushels or three times the
average for the state. Three thou
sand cotton demonstrators in 60 coun
ties with acreage planted 12,000, pro
duced 1,250 pounds seed cotton or
three times theWftverage of the state.
Many more instances might be re
counted, but these figures and the
thousands of Georgia farmers who
have actually tried out the modern
methods taught by the College, make
it necessary to go no further.
From these tests it is clear that the
best-looking corn is not always the
best seed corn. Other methods must
be employed to increase the yields.
An increased number of farmers
of Georgia have determined to en
gage in breeding corn this year and
build up the yielding power of this
crop. To do this they will conduct
plat tests, keeping accurate tab on
each ear. When the corn has taasel
ed, they will remove the tassels from
alternating hills to make eure that
the com Is fertilized by another stalk
and not by Itself. From these stalks
that have been detasseled will be
taken the seed com for the next
year.
The best ears will be chosen from
this lot for the following year’s tests,
while the rest are used in planting
the field. Germinating tests will, of
course, be made before planting.
DEVELOPMENT OF WATER
POWER AT TALLULAH FALLS
Atlanta, Ga., April 24. —Other
Southern States are watching with
keen interest what the industrial j
results will be in Georgia of the de- j
velopment of the great water power ,
at Tallulah Falls by the Georgia j
Railway and Power Company. The
unsuccessful fight which was made j
by extreme conservationists against
the developments was of more than
State-wide interest because of the
fact that the trend which events
took in Georgia reflected precisely
the new attitude of the National
Conservation Congress toward such
developments. The national or
ganization has issued a statement
that in the future “the natural re
sources of the country must be de
veloped and not held in reserva
tion.”
The difference between useless
reservation and conservation are
strongly stressed. Local econo
mists are already beginning to fig
ure out that the Tallulah develop
ment will inevitably mean more in
increasing property values and
building up industries to the people
of Georgia and to the common
wealth than it can possibly mean
to the developers themselves.
The recent nation-wide educa
tional movement which has shown
the stagnation that has resulted
from the improper application of
the conservation idea has had its
strong effect in. Georgia.

To Feeble Old People.
As one grows old the waste of the
system becomes more rapid than re
pair, the organs act more slowly and.
less effectually than in youth, the cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
Vinol, our delicious cod liver ant*
iron tonic without oil, is the ideal
strengthener and body-builder for old
folks, for it contains the very ele
ments needed to rebuild wasting
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Vinol also fortifies the sys
tem against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
A grandnelce of Alexander Hamil
ton, over eighty years of age, ones
remarked: “Vinol is a godsend to old
people. Thanks to Vinol, 1 have a
hearty appetite, sleep soundly, feel
active and well. It is the finest tonic
and strength-creator I have ever
used.”
If Vinol fails to build up the
feeble old people, and create
strength, we will return your money.
