INTERESTING EXHIBIT XT OUR
COUNTY FAIR
The Domestic Engineering Company,
of Dayton, makers of Deleo-Light, " ill
liave an exhibit at our county fair that
is highly interesting and educational,
and is sure to attract much favorable
attention.
After four years of painstaking and
costly experimental work, the Domes
tic Engineering Company have devel
oped I telco*Light for making electrici
ty for every farm. The same engineers,
who have made “Delco” the standard
system of starting, lighting, and igni
tion for automobiles, developed Delco-
Light. The cost of production is so
low, that electricity is delivered to the
rural user for less than he would have
to pay if he lived in the city. Gasoline
is used for fuel. The plant delivers
service twenty-four hours a day, with
no more care and attention t han is re
quired by the simplest piece of farm
machinery.
The rural light and power question
i* one which has been troubling engi
neers all over the country for a number
of years. It has been found inmost
cases impractical to extend the service
of city power houses into the country
on account of the large distances over
which the current must be carried to
supply each individual rural user. It
would not. of course, be impossible to
do this, but the large investment in
poles and heavy wire, and the high
voltage that would have to be main
tained on such lines —all for the service
of a few isolated places—would raise
the cost of such service to a prohibitive
figure.
Engineers realized that with these
conditions it would be necessary to pro
duce isolated electric light plants, that
is, to develop an electric generating
plant which could be installed right on
the farm or country home, and which
would give the same service as that
furnished by power houses in the cities.
But experiments along these lines
brought out great difficulties. The
first plants designed for this service
consisted of so many parts and were so
complicated in design that the costs of
manufacture and operation were out of
all proportion to the service rendered.
Furthermore, these plans required ex
pert care and frequent adjustments
and repairs.
This exhibit will, of course, have its
greatest interest for the farmer, but it
will also lx* of interest to city people
on account of the fact that Delco-Light
is suitable for installation in country
homes, camps and summer resort cot
tages; in fact, wherever electric light
and power service is needed and is not
supplied by a central station. And
whether or not the visitor to the exhib
it is in any sense a prospective pur
chaser, it will interest him because it
represents a really great achievement
in improving the living conditions of a
large part of the country’s population.
Price $275.00 and $d20.00.

Veterinarians Needed
For Georgia Livestock
Industry Worth $100,000,000 Requires
Protection
ANDREW M. SOULE, President Geor
gia State College Of Agriculture
The aggregate of our live stock in
terests is not generally appreciated for
the animals now owned on Georgia
farms are easily worth SIOOT>OO,OOO.
In 1910 the state was credited in the
federal census with owning about $78,-
000,000 worth of live stock. Within a
period of six years, therefore, there
has been an increase in the value of
live stock of approximately $22,000,000,
and this in the face of the fact that
the shipment of a very considerable
number of mules to Europe on ac
count of the war conditions prevailing
there has tended to reduce not only
tlie number but the value of our ani
mals as well. At the present time
there are only about fifty licensed vet
erinarians practicing in the state of
Georgia. Most of these live in towns
and cities, and there are many farmers
in the state who are more than one
hundred miles from a competent vet
erinarian; and even if they could se
cure his services in time, it would be
at an almost prohibitive cost. It may
thus be said with propriety that farm
ers living out In the open country
would find it extremely difficult to se
cure the aid of a competent veterina
rian, and that this condition is not
likely to be remedied until provision is
made for the training of a very consid-
erable number of men in the underly
ing principles of veterinary medicine.
That some provision for instruction
of this character should be made is
evidenced by the very considerable
number of applications received from
young men who desire to study veter
inary medicine. In view of this fact,
the trustees of the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture have endeavored
to meet the situation by authorizing
the establishment of the first two
years of a degree course in veterinary
medicine. This will be open to any
young man in Georgia seventeen years
cf age and who is able to present four
teen units for entrance. It is the earn
est hope of the trustees that at the
end of two years through the aid of
the state they may be able to add
the junior work of training veterina
rians within the state who are ac
quainted with local conditions, in sym
pathy with the people living in the
open country, and who naturally be
lieve in Georgia and its future possi
bilities along live stock production.

Grave Damage To Pine
Timber In the South
J. B. BERRY, Prof. Forestry Georgia
State College Of Agriculture
Wherever one travels in the south
there is noticed small groups of dead
or drying pines. Often in midsum
mer the leaves turn yellow and fall,
leaving the trees bare. Asa rule this
damage is due to the southern pine
beetle (Dendroctonus fontalis), a
small beetle about a quarter of an
inch long, which penetrates the bark
and works in the cambium layer. If ;
enough beetles are present the tree I
is girdled and gradually dies.
Following a summer cutting of pine
is the damage especially noticed. The
beetles are attracted from considera
ble distances by the odor of the fresh
ly cut wood and attack the surround
ing trees. The cutting of even one
tree in a group of pine is sufficient to
attract the beetles. Usually the work
of the beetles in standing timber is
confined to the upper portions of the
stem: on felled timber, it works on
the entire length of the trunk.
Damage may be greatly reduced by
restricting cutting of pine to the win
ter months when both trees and bee
tles are in a dormant state. If cut
ting in the summer is unavoidable,
the slashing should be destroyed by
firing. Beetles in infested timber may
be destroyed by peeling the bark and
burning it or by submerging the logs
in water and destroying the slashing.

li pleasing your taste.” Other cigarettes, be

Because Chesterfields satisfy !—they give

Yet they’re MILD!
This new combination (“satisfy,” yet mild )
can be had only in Chesterfields —because no
cigarette maker can copy the Chesterfield
blend!
