Fact* Concerning The New Boysen
And Young Berries
There are many things outside the
general vegetable list that should be
considered during the winter months.
There are several good berries in the
dewberry list. The Young berry has
been highly recommended, but the
Boysen berry, a newcomer, is receiv
ing much attention.
The boysen Berry originated in
California and is the result of cross

Need Creomulsion
Just a common cough, a chest cold,
or a bronchial Irritation of today may
lead to serious trouble tomorrow. They
may be relieved now with Creomulsion,
an emulsified Creosote that is pleasant
to take. Creomulsion is a medicinal
combination designed to aid nature in
soothing and healing infected mucous
membranes by allaying irritation and in
flammation and by aiding in loosening
and expelling the germ-laden phlegm.
The Medical Profession has for many
years recognized the beneficial effect of
Beechwood Creosote in the treatment
of coughs, chest colds, and bronchial
irritations. A special process was worked
out by a chemist, for blending Creosote
with other ingredients and now in
Creomulsion you get a real*dose of

loganberries. It has proved adapta
ble to every state and is not affected
by extreme temperatures.
The Boysen is the finest vine berry
in existence. Has very good qaulity,
is hardy, disease resistant, adapted
to almost any soil, easily controlled,
does not become a pest, as some vine
berries do.”
The berries are large, an inch in
diameter. The seeds are few and
soft The berries can well, have high
sugar content, and eight pounds of
juice can be extracted from 10
pounds of berries.
Boysen ripens in middle Georgia
about June 1, and is through bearing
July 15, normal seasons. The young
berry bears fruit 10 days to 2 weeks

palatable and can even be taken fre
quently and continuously by both
adults and children.
Creomulsion is one preparation that
goes to the very seat of the trouble to
help loosen and expel the germ-laden
phlegm. When coughs, chest colds and
bronchial troubles—due to common colds
—hang on, get a bottle of Creomulsion
from your druggist, use it as directed,
and if you are not satisfied with the re
lief obtained, the druggist Is authorized
to refund every cent of, your money.
Creomulsion is one word—not two, and
it has no hyphen in It. Ask for it plain
ly, see that the name on the bottle is
Creomulsion, and you’ll get the genuine
product and the relief thatyou want. Adv

Dr. T. H. Mcllalton, head of de

Agriculture, in an article, “Brambles
in the South,” which appears in Oc
tober issue, Country Gentleman,
writes: “The Youngberry and Boy
sen berry have shown their worth as
both produced profitable crops of
fine fruit for the early market. These
are coming products of the south and
will certainly be increased in acre
age during the future years. Too
much cannot be said about these
fruits. They have size and high
quality coming at a season of excel
lent price and bearing in quantity,
they bid fair to be a great help to
the southern growers.”

LEGUMES INCREASE
YIELDS OF BOTH
COTTON AND CORN
County Agent M. L. Powell this
week recommended both winter and
summer legumes to Butts county
farmers as a means of getting higher
yields of cotton and corn.
He said that tests in practically
all the Southern states have shown
that legumes will inci'ease yields of
these two crops as much as 40 to 50
per cent in many instances.
Anew bulletiii by the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration gives the
summaries and results of these tests.
Tin* title of this publication is “Sou
thern Region Agricultural Conserva
tion Bulletin No. 3.’’ It shows the
effects of legumes on several crops,
as well as the results of cultural prac
tices on legumes.
The agent pointed out that the
average yields of cotton on these
tests were from 750 to 800 pounds
of seed cotton per acre when the
cotton did not follow a legume. But
the yields were increased to 1150 to
1250 pounds of seed cotton when it
followed a legume. Winter legumes
gave slightly larger yields than did
summer legumes.
Mr. Powell declared the experi
mental corn yields were increased by
!an average of 15 bushels per acre
by the use of legumes. Winter and
summer legumes gave practically the
same increase in corn yields.
All these tests were carried out
in the south, he explained, and sim
iliar results may be expected from
the use of legumes in this county.
He urged farmers to include these
soil-improvement crops in planning
their crop rotations.

FARM BRIEFS

Checks to Georgia farmers for co
operating in the 1937 Agricultural
Conservation program are beginning
to trickle into the state. The first
batch of checks was received in
Georgia the first week in January.
This batch totaled $32,209 and cov
ered 351 applications. Additional
checks will be mailed to Georgia
farmers as promptly as applications
are approved. Farmers had until De
cember 31 to qualify for payments.
Triple A payments far the 1936 pro
gram to Georgia farmers totaled
$lO,-744,020.05. The payments for
the 1937 program are not expected
to total as much.

in poultry work, plans to announce
the 1937 winners about February 1.
The prize will be 25 chicks to the
winning boy and 25 to the winning

Aerial photographic maps of 36
Georgia counties are being used by
the Triple A to check performance
under the 1937 Agricultural Conser-
vation program. Contracts were let
in 1937 for the aerial mapping of
farms in 61 additional counties, but
these maps were not secured in time
to be used, because of bad photogra
phic weather. It is necessary to have
a perfectly clear day in order to make
an aerial map that can be used for
land measurement. Of the counties
which were not photographed from
the air, 25 used the plane table meth
od of measuring and 95 used the
chain mthdo. It is the aim of the ad
ministration eventually to secure
aerial photographic maps of all Geor
gia counties so that the same method
of measurement can be used through
out the state.
FREE CANCER TREATMENT FOR
ALL UNABLE TO PAY CHARGES
Until further notice all cancer pa
tients who are certified by county
welfare boards as being unable to
pay for treatment will be given free
medical attention at one of the can
cer treatment centers located in At
lanta, Augusta, Macon, Thomasville
and Columbus.
This decision was reached at a
meeting of the conference commit
tee of the Geoi-gia campaign for the
control of cancer.
Indigent patients not only will re
ceive free diagnosis at the treatment
centers, but also radiation, both x
ray and radium, surgical services
and, if necessary, hospitilization, all
to be paid for out of the appropria
tion for public health.

Is It Worth A Nickel?
If every person in Georgia con
tributed one five-cent piece to the
National Foundation for Fighting
f Infantile Paralysis,
this state’s quota
would be filled in
full. The quota has
been set to be raised
on January 29, Pres
ide n t Roosevelt’s
birthday. There will
be parties and en
tertainments galore, held in all
sections of the state on that day,
with all proceeds going to the
fund. The Georgia Committee for
the Celebration of the President’s
Birthday is directing the campaign
in this state.
The money raised during the
President’s Birthday celebration,
all over the country, will all go to
the new national foundation, with
the hope and belief that sufficient
funds will be raised to properly en
dow it and to assure continuance
of its important work against the
dread disease of infantile paraly
sis.
The Foundation program has
been broadly divided under four di
visions. The first is concerned with
scientific research, with the hope
of discovering preventative and
cure for the disease which has, so
far, proved one of the most puz
zling problems in the history of
medical science.
The second effort of the new
foundation will be by rendering
aid to all communities where the
disease appears, with the purpose
of checking its spread before it
reaches epidemic proportions.
Thirdly, the foundation will see
that proper treatment and care is
provided for all sufferers from the
disease. The fourth purpose is to
furnish money to maintain ortho
pedic centers, hospitals and clinics
which are striving to restore health
and strength to paralyss victims.
It is estimated that there are
today 600,000 victims of infanile
paralysis in the United States,
maimed and crippled, in greater or
less degree, for life. This number

Reports from over the state indi

county farmers this week.
He said that rains had damaged
seed in some sections, and that cot
ton was ginned green in other places,
causing the seed to spoil.
“A farmer can run a simple germi
nation test on his cottonseed, if he
thinks there is a possibility they
might not germinate,” the agent de
clared. “By doing this now, a ferm
er may save the expense and time of
second plantings next spring.
“In running this test, follow this
method: Place 100 seeds between

is constantly increasing. It is the
belief of scientists that this in
crease in the disease will continue
unless all organization such as the
proposed new national foundation
can bring it under control.
President Roosevelt has dedicat
ed his birthday, in perpetuity, to
aid the new foundation. Through
these annual birthday parties the
people of America may join in the
fight against the disease, by provid
ing the needed funds for the na
tional foundation.
By concentrating all funds in
this one organization it is believed
the work against the disease may
be more efficiently and more suc
cessfully carried on.
There are, of course, people in
Georgia who will not have oppor
tunity to contribute even as much
as one nickel to the splendid cause.
But others will give much more,
each according to financial ability,
and thus it is believed there will
be more than enough to complete
the stat’s quota when the result is
finally totaled on the night of
January 29.
In addition to the parties on the
birthday night, there will be a
“button week,” sponsored by the
schools and the women’s clubs of
the state, giving 600,000 Georgia
school children a chance to do their
part.
Georgia is President Roosevelt’s
“second home.” It was at Warm
Springs, where the “Little White
House” is located, that organized
war against infantile paralysis re
ceived its first momentum. The
Warm Springs Foundation has
saved many lives and brought new
hope to hundreds of men, women
and children who have contracted
the disease.
Georgia, by all logic, should
show the way to the rest of the
nation, in raising the President’s
Birthday Fund for the financing
of the new national foundation, so
vitally needed and the closest thing
of all to the President’s heart. —

dle, using the broom handle or cob
as a core. Keep this in a warm (
moist place, such as near the stove
in the home. Seed in this condition
will germinate in about a week. If
less than 80 seeds sprout, the seed
is low in germination.
“If such seed are to be used, they
should be planted thicker, but when
the germination is to.o low, better
seed should be obtained.”
The agent mentioned that the
main drawback in planting seed
thicker is that the decay may spread.
However, if these seed are used,
plant 1 V 2 times the noi'mal rate when
they test only 60 per cent, twice the
normal rate for those testing 50
per cent, 2Va times the normal
amount when the germination is 40
per cent.
Better results are obtained when
damaged seed are de-linted or treat
ed with commercial mercuric dust,
Mr. Powell pointed out, but
that care must be used in doing this.
He invited farmers to visit his office
for information n treating seed in
this manner.
