Reduce by one-half, to be very conservative, we have $100,000,000.00. Value of the Farm VMot ■ J. B. Berry, Prof. Forestry, Ga. State College Of Agriculture. Just what value do you place on that patch of woods on your farm, or do you consider it only as an ob stacle to the cultivation of the land? A hundred years ago timber was very plentiful and prices low. At the pres ent time the best of the timber in the East and South has been logged, or destroyed, and lumber prices are advancing rapidly. No longer are the big timber holders of the United States recklessly logging their lands —rather, they are holding their tim ber to take advantage of the rapid increase in wood values. It is con servatively estimated that the pres ent forests of the United States cannot supply the demand for more than seventy-five years. When this is gone we shall have to compete with England and Germany in the world’s markets. During the year 1814 lumber prices in Germany ranged about four times as great as in the United States, and these prices showed an increase of 10 per cent to 15 per cent over the current prices of the year 1913. If this then is true— that the present lumber prices of the United States will be increased 300 per cent or 400 per cent during the next twenty or twenty-five years —can there he any doubt as to the value of a timber investment? -i. „ The South is particularly favored in the matter of wood produc tion. Nowhere else do trees and for e«Jg grow more rapidly. During the course of twenty years a second growth thicket of old field pine and yellow poplar has' developed into a forest, the trees o' which average 12 to 15 inches in diameter. While trees of this size do not produce a high per centage of good lumber, there is a strong demand for this class of mate rial in the production of boxes and packing cases. Even as rough lumber the product of these trees would have a value of from S2O to S4O per thou sand feet, and, at the present rate of increase, these prices will have dou bled in ten years, quadrupled in twen ty years. If this is true, and there can be no doubt of it, are there any other portions of the farm with the potential value of these thickets of young trees? What, then, is to be thought of a man who clears away this young timber, often from steep slopes, with the object of placing the land under cultivation for a few years until erosion has carried away the surface soil) and then abandon ing the ’ area to weeds and small trees until nature has painstakingly and slowly re-established a forest cov er? Instead of creating wealth, is he not in reality destroying it? timely agricultural bulletins issued Among the recent bulletins issued by the Georgia State College of Agri culture which are for free distribu tion within the state are ‘'Soil Survey of Stewart County,” "Forest School Announcement,” "Teachers’ Manual of Agricultural Club Work, An nouncement of Veterinary Degree Course,” Catalog 191617, "Boys’ Pig Clubs, 1915.” Circulars recently issued have been on the following subjects: "Corn Cul tivation,” "Lime and Its Relations to Potash,” "Peanut Oil Production,” "Cotton Variety Tests,” "Poultry Clubs, 1915,” “Summer Courses in Agriculture, 191V’ _ THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA, JUNE 3, 1916. College Assists In Getting Eggs tc Best Market W. S. Dilts, Instructor Department Of Poultry, Georgia State Col lege Of Agriculture. “Egg routes” are being established at various places in Georgia in con nection with cream routes, for the purpose of assembling eggs at given shipping points. At these centers proper attention to grading and pack ing can be given so that the eggs can be sent off to the best-paying market. Recent experiments with high-class Georgia eggs sent in 30 dozen packs to the city of New York, revealed that after express and commission has been deducted, the net return to the shipper was very much greater than could be obtained in local markets. While it is not expected that the or dinary run of eggs obtained on an "egg route” will bring as much as this particularly fine lot, yet it is quite certain that there will be no trouble to net at least five cents more on the dozen than can be found on local mar kets in Georgia. The egg routes have been associat ed with the cream routes, one person finding it easy enough to collect both, thus reducing the expense of collec tion. It costs from 1% to 2 cents per dozen to collect, sort and pack for shipment the eggs that are being re ceived from these routes. Collections are being made frem two to three times a week, thus permitting eggs to go fresher to market than country T6gs usually do. Selecting Cotton Resistant to 801 l Rot Loy E. Rast, in Charge cf Cotton In dustry, Georgia State College Of Agriculture. Fifteen varieties of cotton have been tested for two years at the Col lege of Agriculture to determine their resistance to anthracnose or boll rot. The results of two years have been obtained for only eight varieties. The order in which they stand as to re sistance of anthracnose is as follows: College No. 1, Sunbeam No. 60, Cooks, Modella, Sunbeam No. 80 Half and Half, Toole, Simpkins. Among those showing up well under the one year’s test are Lewis, Dixie and Cleveland. In testing these varieties for resist ance, it was made quite certain that all had an opportunity of being infect ed. A variety known to be infect ed and very poor in resistance was planted in alternate row's with the varieties mentioned. They were thus subject to the severest test that could occur under field conditions. Tha' the disease was prevalent and very active is shown by the total destruc tion of one variety that is very sus ceptible, during the last year. Col lege No. 1 showed only 2.9 per cent of diseased bolls, Sunbeam 4.6 per centage of diseased bolls, Cooks 5.7, Modella C. 3, Sunbeam 80 6.6, Toole and Simpkins 6.5, Half and Half a total loss for the year 1915.
