Getting High Yields
From Cotton Crop
How a Good Variety And Modern
Methods Of Cultivation Panned
Out In The Field
(JOHN It. FAIN, Professor Agronomy,
State College Of Agriculture.)
Four acres of cotton grown on the
demonstration field of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture, yielded
revenue as follows: hint at 12 cents,
1282.48; seed for planting at $2.00,
1121.50; seed to oil mill at $44.50,
140.60; Total $444.58, or a return per
acre of $111.14.
The majority of the cotton grown
was College Number 1, a selection
made a few years ago from the Sun
beam cotton. This cotton has proven
resistant to anthracnose, has outyield
ed the original Sunbeam and is some
what earlier.
The important lessons from this
demonstration are, the value of good
need from a good variety that has been
bred up by proper methods to a lixed
type and reliable behavior, the value
of a well prepared seed bed end the
economy of frequent and shallow cul
tivation by which the moisture of the
soil is conserved, the roots spared
from being torn from their feeding
places by the deep furrowing plow or
dinarily used, and the completer sup
pression of weeds.
The lesson that can be applied now,
when the crop is growing, is that with
reference to frequent and shallow cul
tivation.
Peach Orchard Acreage
Increases In Georgia
Marked Increase In Number Of Peach
Trees Set Out During Period
Of Twelve Months
(H, T. McHATTON, Prof. Horticul
ture, Ga. State Col. Of Agr.)
Information received from various
parts of the state makes it conserva
tive to say that more than 1,000,000
new trees have been added the peach
orchard acreage of the state of Geor
gia during the planting season of 1915
and early 1916. This means that there
are something like 10,000 more acres
devoted to peach culture in the state.
Quite a decided increase in the acre
age has taken place in the Fort Val
ley region. Northeast Georgia has
added materially to its acreage. North
west Georgia has planted many trees,
while as far south as Thomasville
peach trees have been planted on rath
er a broad scale, considering that
they are planted somewhat as anew
crop for that region.
The success of crops of recent years,
and the success with which diseases
affecting the peach have been combat
ted, has tended to place peach culture
on a more attractive basis than for
several years.
Rid Hens of Lice and Mites
(Wm. S. DILTS, Poultry Department,
Ga State College Of Agriculture.)
Each year the profits of the farmer
and poult ryman are clipped by the at
tacks of these parasites. Hens infest
ed with lice will not lay as many eggs
as those kept free from them. Young
chicks will not grow as fast and often
die from attacks of these parasites.
The sitting hen should be dusted at
least three times during the hatch
with a good insect powder. You can
make the following powder at home:
Take 3 parts of gasoline and 1 part
of 90-95 per cent crude carbolic acid or
the same amount of cresol or zeno
leum. Mix well, then stir in enough
plaster of paris to take up the mois
ture, making a dry powder. Keep the
powder in a closed can for use.
The lice hide in .the fluff feathers
round the vent, in under the wings,
on the top of the head, and on the
thigh feathers. Apply the powder
particularly well in these parts, see
ing that it penetrates well. Provide
the hens with a wallow of fine dust
and they will try to rid themselves of
the lice.
Mites work on the fowls at night,
hiding in clusters in cracks and crev
ices, on the perches and in the nests
during the day. They suck the blood
of the birds they are on during the
night, and, when full, have a red color.
At other times they are a yellowish
white color.
You can rid your houses of mites
by thoroughly cleaning the house and
spraying all parts with 1 part of crude
carbolic acid or a good coal-tar disin
fectant to forty or fifty parts of water.
A kerosene emulsion may be used if
used more often. One part of kerosene
to fifteen to twenty parts of water will
be effective, lte sure to cover the nest,
roosts and cracks in the wall well with
this spray, as it must come in contact
with the mites to be effective.

Backache comes on
“X found immediate relief in tlie use
of Foley Kidney Fills, have recom
mended them, and do not know of a
single instance when they failed to
give relief.”
C. U. Landrum, a traveling salesman,
writes from San Angelo, Texas: ‘‘Driv
ing over rough roads and in all kinds
of weather gave me acute pains in the
back and I suffered greatly. I found
relief in the use of Foley Kidney Pills,
and before the first bottle was used,
the pain in my back, had entirely disap
peared and I have had no recurrence of
those pains which frequently amounted
to almost neuralgic proportions."
When backache comes on, and it
seems as if you can’t stand the pain
and pressure in your back, you will find
quick and grateful relief comes with
the use of Foley Kidney Pills.*’ They
stop the cause of the pain, ease the
stiff aching joints and muscles, and
clear the poisons out of your system
by helping your kidneys and bladder to>
normal healthy action.
THE OWL PHARMACY
THE BEST EVER
Seventeen years ago I put in
my Roller Flour Mills at this
place and “startled the natives”
in its most excellent product.
Farmers for 35 miles around
brought me their wheat and one
and all were delighted, in fact it
created such a furor that within
two years there were ten other
roller mills established in my ter
ritory.
The next year every farmer
sowed wheat and there was a
great wheat crop gathered but
it was a very bad season and
nearly all the wheat was dam
aged. The consequences were
that no one got good flour. The
second year the wheat was bad
and has been going from bad to
worse ever since until this year
what wheat was made was al
most identical with the 1899
crop. So that now many of my
customers are saying that my
mills are making the best flour
that it ever made, and I say it is
as good as ever we made. So.
if in 1899 the farmer could come
35 miles and be pleased, you cer
tainly can come 15 miles or more.
One trip is all I ask to convince
you that my new miller, Mr.
Smith, and the rest of us will
work as hard to please you as we
ever did. We are giving as much
in exchange, on this crop as we
ever gave on any crop.
