Agricultural Moving
Pictures In Georgia
J. Phil Campbell, Director Extension
Division, Georgia State Col
lege Of Agriculture
A moving picture outfit is now be
ing used by the Extension Division of
the Georgia State College of Agri
culture to convey messages of im
proved agriculture to rural Georgia.
An auto truck carrying the apparatus
is utilized for producing the power
that operates a dynamo which, in turn,
provides the light for the moving pic
ture machine. The power is suffi
ciently strong to make as good a
light as can be found in any moving
picture theater.
This enables the College to go out
into the country and show pictures in
school houses, and reach many peo
ple who never yet have seen a moving
picture. No difficulty is met in getting
crowds, and, of course, a splendid op
portunity is afforded for bringing to
bear a message, which doubtless,would
not be obtained in any other way—
upon a whole neighborhood at one
time and in one place.
Exhibitions are given both day and
night, thus giving opportunity of
reaching two neighborhoods a day.
Arrangements are made in advance
with the county superintendent of
schools, who designates the schools
where the exhibition is to be made
and assists in making proper an
nouncements. Where a county dem
onstration agent is located he will also
have a part in local arrangements.
The moving picture outfit began op
erating in south Georgia and will
move gradually northward. Of course,
it will be impossible to go into every
school house in the state or even
reach every county in the state soon.
Thinning Fruit Is Profitable
T. H. McHatton, Professor Horticul
ture, Georgia State College Of
Agriculture
If after the young fruits drop—usu
ally in May—there remains too many,
thinning should be practiced Thin
by hand, a stick is not discriminat
ing. Thin peaches when about the
size of the thumb, before the stone
hardens. Leave peaches 4 to 6 inches
apart on tree, the distance depending
upon the size of the fruit when ma
tured. They must not touch.
Apples should be thinned after the
“drop,” and when the apples are be
tween a quarter and a half dollar in
size. Only one to a cluster should be
left.
Depending upon the size of tree and
set of fruit, it will cost from 5 cents
to 25 cents to thin a tree.
The advantages of thinning are,
a thinned tree does not break down
because the apples are better distrib
uted over it; the loss of fruit is little
or nothing while the quality and quan
tity of large fruit is greatly increas
ed, and the returns greater. Thinned
trees set a better crop of fruit for
the next year. Fungous diseases are
not so destructive because fruits are
not allowed to touch each other. Be
cause of thinning the poor fruit is
handled and gotten out of the way
before the rush of the harvest, season
when otherwise the poor fruit would
have to be handled and sorted. The
thinned fruit can be fed to the stock.
Veterinary Degree Course
Offered at Agricultural Col.
Beginning with the scholastic year
of 1916-17, the Georgia State College
of Agriculture will offer a degree
course in Veterinary Medicine lead
ing to the degree D. V. M. This will
be the first institution to offer such
a degree in Georgia, and is provided
in answer to an increasing demand
within the state for veterinarians. A
number of young men of Georgia have
been compelled to go to other states
to get their veterinary degrees at con
siderable cost which can now be sav
ed by attending a state institution.
The College has a splendid start
in the way of equipment for present
ing the work of a veterinary degree
course. Work in veterinary science
has been offered heretofore, and for
this there has been excellent provi
sion made. Recently one unit of the
veterinary building has been complet
ed which increases the advantages
materially. The veterinary hospital is
quite adequate and well equipped for
the work. The teaching stafT is
strong. This new course of the Col
lege of Agriculture is believed to be
in response to a definite demand and,
as a consequence, success is antici
pated. A special announcement of
the course has been issued which can
be obtained upon request.
SHIPPING WATERMELONS.
J. W. Firor, Junior Professor Of Hor.
ticulture, Georgia State College
Of Agriculture.
One of the greatest causes of un
satisfactory returns from watermel
ons is the shipping of small and poor
quality melons to markets which can
only be reached with heavy freight
cost. Only high quality melons of
good size should go to such cities. It
is better to keep small melons and
poor quality stuff in general at home
and feed to hogs than to ship to mar
ket and get nothing for them. Water
melon growers will do well to keep
this one fact in mind.

Diversify Your Fruit Growing

UNCLE JIM MOVES HIS OFFIC
J. M. Freeman, J. P., (Uncle Jin
has his office in the big window
the Chero-Cola Bottling Works, whe
he will be glad to see his friends.
Even if one is making money ou one
fruit grow n in quantilies, the planting
of some other kinds in smaller lots is a.
wise t king. Even orange growers have
sometimes made as much off other
fruils as from their groves.
Even though cotton and grain anti
oranges now are in great demand,
don t forget the lesson! Make your
plans now not to he t aught again, no
matter what happens. Grow enough
things to sell some so long as anybody
is buying— and to live on afterwards.
