FARM NEWS AND VIEWS
By Henry G. Wiley
Butts County Farm Agent
With unusually low prices for
seed of vetch, crimson clover and
sweet clover together with very
fine seasons we have had lately
putting the ground in good shape
for germinating the seeds sown, it
would be hard to imagine a more
favorable time to get started with
some of these winter soil building
and grazing crops. It is not a
difficult matter to get them started
to growing if only the work of
seeding is done in the right way.

not hard. This makes berin or pea
hay stubble fields an excellent
place to start with them. All le
gume seeds must be inoculated be
fore being sown on land that has
never grown the crop. Commercial
inoculation will do but soil taken
from a field which has grown the
crop successfully furnishes the best
inoculation. Moisten seed with
syrupy water to make then sticky
and then sprinkle on the inoculated
soil.
Soil from a vetch field or where
English peas have grown will inocu
late vetch seed. Soil from an alfalfa,
bur clover or sweet clover patch
will inoculate sweet clover. Crimson
clover should be inoculated from a
field where it grew last year. There
ar e a number of wild clover grow
ing here that will inoculate it suc
cessfully but there is some risk in
getting the wrong variety.
There is such complaint in some
sections from root rot or wilt of
pepper. In many fields th e loss is

rather serious. This is a disease
similar to the familiar wilt of to
matoes. It is greatly increased some
time* by the use of stable manure.
While there is no specific cure for
it live has proven to be very bene
ficial. Also it has been found bene
ficial to build up the soil by turn
ing under vegetable matter in
stead of using manure. This being
tru e those who have been bothered
with pepper wilting in their fields
heretofore should certainly take ad
vantage of the present favorable
conditions and make use of lime
and cover crops this winter to
prevent a recurrence of the loss
next summer. A half ton of good
pepper increas 0 would take care
of all the expense of liming and
seeding a good cover crop.
What about a Butts County Day
at the Southeastern Fair this 1 year?
It runs rom Oct. 4 to the 11th
which includes two Saturdays.
Wouldn’t it be fin e to spend one
of them there with the boys and
girls who are doing club work here
that they may see the very best
of hogs, cattle, chickens, corn, etc.
a iggeat deal of which has been
produced by club members in other
counties of the state. I believe it
would be very stimulating to both
th e children and their parent'*.
While the recent heavy rains
have injured the open cotton in the
fields considerably, also the corn
in the shock and the hay that has
been cut, yet it as brought so many
good opportunities that there should
be no room for complaining about
the damage done. Think of the
wonderful help to late crops of
feed, of the splendid gardens and
turnip patches that can now be
had if folks only try; of the fine
opportunity f.or sowing early grain
and grazing crops that can be put
in at once greatly offsetting the
(general shortage of feeds; of the
fine stands of bur clover already
out of the ground promising re
freshing green for live stock and
poultry; of th e wonderful benefit
to pastures during the shortage
while before frost. Truly if we
busy ourselves in making th e most
of these opportunities we wont have
time to think of the damag e done.

its story of increased returns from
a large number of crops, but experi
ence has shown that it gives best
results when applied in the fall pre
ceding a leguminous crop.
“A majority of legumes are un
favorably affected by a sour condi
tion of the soil,” says L. V. Davis,
supervisor of fertilizer investigations
of the State College of Agriculture,
“and will respond readily to an
application of lime. With a definite
rotation such as corn, cotton and
small grain followed by a legumin
ous crop is sown.
“Lime should be applier after the
land is plowed, else there is a possi
bility of it being buried too deep.
Too, in applying in this way it is
well mixed with the soil and the full
measure of its effects are realized.’’
For Georgia conditions it is ad
visable to apply from 2,000 to 3,-
000 pounds of ground limestone
per acre every three to five year?.
MORE AUTOMOBILE TAGS

000, IS CLAIM
1 Atlanta, Ga.—lt i estimated by
officials of th e Secretary of State’9
office that the number of license
tags issued to Georgia automobile
owners during 1924 will run to
around the 200,000 mark, showing
an increase of about 27,000 over
1923.
According to Chief Clerk H. G.
Harris, to date there have been
199,000 automobile license tal.zs is
sued by the Motor Vehicle Depart
ment, which is a branch of the
Secretary of State’s office. Of this
number 175,000 hav e been issued;
to passenger cars, and 24,000 to j
motor trucks. If the rate that the
license tags have heretofore been
issued for the past several weeks
is maintained, it is th e opinion of
Mr. Harris that the total figure for
the year will go even beyond the,
two hundred thousand mark.
During 1923 there was a total
of 173,794 tags issued by that de
partment, and compared with the
tags issued to date, shows an in
crease this year of 26,794.
The increase in the purchase of
automobiles is believed to result j
from the good crop conditions that
Georgia has experienced, as well
as the result of good roau ouilding.
according tq the officials.
The above figures, however, do
not include a total of 1,011 motor
cycle license tags which bee* issued
during the year.
