Bond Issue In
Thomasville, Ga.
Ga., has already
voted - on ar,d carried .1 fifty thous
and dollar V>ond issue for school
aes. The city council has
another call for $65,000 to
le place of the $->O,OOO issue.
Those who think our bond issue
of $65,000 excessive for the erection
and equipping court house and jail
and for equipping and working the
roads, would compare these figures
with bond issues at other enterpris
ing places, they might conclude
that the Grand Jury who recom
mended our $65,000 lmnd issue was
very conservative in their recoin
mendations.

Their Ability to
Come Back
When Charles W. Morse was re
leased from tl e federal prison in
Atlanta by the executive clemency j
of our fat President, William How-1
ard Taft, he was reported to be tot
tering on the brink of the grave, i
Our “big hearted” President desir-.
ing that this distinguished Wall
street financier should not l>e sub
jected to the odium of having to die
in a federal prison, he turned him
out to die in the bosom of his fam
ily, where his faithful wife could
watch his life ebb away beneath the
roof of his stately mansion. But
lo and behold, when this financial
king breathed once more the air of
freedom, thoughts of an elegant
funeral, where friends and relatives
would follow the martyred financier
to an untimely grave was at once
banished from his mind, and his
heart again yearned for the old fa
miliar haunts of Wall street.
Aft* r a brief absence in Europe
and retirement from the limelight,
we bear the redoubtable Mr. Morse
is again one of the directing figures
of that notable thoroughfare, ma
nipulating millions, and hatching
out new schemes for the upbuilding
of his country.
'And now c ones the equally di
tinguished William Rockefeller,
who dodged the I’ujo committee for
months, and when at last he wa
cornered in his lair, was too sick to
be interrogated. His loyal pin
tians feared it would endanger bi
life. The Pujo committee has boon
discharged and William Rockefeller
has too demonstrated the fact t! t
“he can come back.” Last \V I
ne day, he appeared at the meeting
of the New Haven directors that
ousted President Mellen, “sitting
through a session nearly five horn
long and taking his full share in
the discussion. 11 is color was
good, almo-t ruddy, and his eye as
bright as his step was springy ”

VALUABLE INFORMATION GAINED
FROM EXPEIENIS WITH
SEEDS AND FERTILIZERS
By Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture.
Some of the more important work
accomplished in the Department of
Agronomy of the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture may be summariz
ed briefly. Fertilizer plats have bean
established In fourteen counties on
sixteen types of soil, the purpose of
which is to determine tiie fertilizer
needs and the system of crop rotation
to use. Corn selection work is in prog
ress in eight counties, oat selection in
five counties. Crop improvement as
sociations have been organized in five
counties.
Wheat tests carried on for four
years at the College farm show an
average to date of 24.9 bushels Fill
caster wheat per acre, 25. C bushels
Blue Stem, 26.4 Georgia Ked. Tint
winter oats tests average as follows:
Appier, 68 bushels; Rust Proof, 67.6;
Bancroft, 6.5.3; Fulgam, 60.3, Virginia
Gray, 59; Culberson, 47.7.
The average of four year tests of
corn varieties have resulted as fol
lows: Whatley’s Prolific, 72.4; bush
els; Hastings Prolific, 67.7; Marl
boro, 66.4- Cocke’s Prolific, 55.3;
Shaw’s Improved, 54.3; Henry Gray
50.5.
Two thousand pounds of lime to
an acre increased the yield of corn at
the College 16.1 bushels per acre.
PRACTICAL RESULTS
Id HORTICULTURE
T. H. McHatton, Professor of Horti
culture.
Some of the practical determina
tions in the department of horticulture
made during the year which are of
service to the farmer are given below.
The College has demonstrated the
value of spraying a north Georgia
apple orchard. As much as 90 per
cent, of the fruit taken from sprayed
trees was salable, while 90 per cent,
of the fruit taken from unsprayed
trees was not salable.
Tests made of commonly used reme
dies for rosette on pecan tree have
proven them to be of no use. Kx-
It lias been found that 1,000 pounds
of lime increased the yield of cow
peas 770 pounds per acre. Alfalfa seed
inoculated and limed yielded 1.68 tons
per acre, not included nor limed slight
ly less than half a ton per acre.
In testing relative merits of boats
and acid phosphate, it was found that.
37.4 bushels of corn were grown
where floats were used and 43.3 bush
els where acid phospato was used.
These are results of three years tests.
The results of three years’ tests on
nirtogen carriers on corn are as fol
lows: No fertilizer 38 bushels, nitrate
of soda 55, sulphate of amonia 43 bush
els, calcium cynamid 50 bushels, cot
ton seed meal 51 bushels, dried blood
52 bushels.
Influence of high and low nitrogen
in complete fertilizers is shown as fol
lows: No fertilizer, 31 bushels; 650
pounds acid phosphate 30 bushels; 630
pounds phosphate and 140 pounds
muriate of potash, 26 bushels; 1,000
pounds of 2.2-8, 5-7, 42 bushels; 1,000
pounds 10-3-4,43.3 bushels; ,1000
pounds 8-2-2, 38.6 bushels.
Valuable data has been obtained in
corn breeding experiments, showing
relation of germination tests to high
yielding plants, also the effects of
breeding up varieties from seed selec
tion.
periments are in progress to develop
a reliable method.
Over 50 varieties of apples have
been found in North Georgia closely
studied and cataloged for a bulletin
to be issued.
Experiments with dynamiting holes
for trees resulted as follows: 8 peach
trees in dug holes grew 139 feet; 8
peach trees in dynamited holes grew
110 feet; 8 apples in dug holes grew
115 feet, 7 apples in dynamited holes
grew 100 feet.
Tlie temperature in the College or
chard was changed by use of orchard
heaters from 25 degrees to 30 degrees
thus saving tiie fruit crop.
It was determined that from S2OO to
S4OO per acre may he obtained from
North Georgia apple orchards. Pres
ent methods of cultivation are general
ly haphazard.
