He was author of the law requiring that agriculture and civil government lie taught

before the County School Superintendents* Association at Macon, May 11. i»iis. I>y Dr.
M. M. Parks, President of the Georgia Normal ami industrial College, Miiledgeville
praising the l egislature foi the enactment of this measure. Said he:
“hi my opinion this will prove in the years to come to he the most important legisla
tion of the stvauon of the General Assembly of 1808. The measure was passed quietly
and without public notice. It did net receive a one-hundredth part of the publicity
given to the convict lease question and yet it probably means much more for Georgia
It did not attract a one hundredth part of the attention given to the Cm form Text Book
bill and yet in its far reaching effects it is probably destined to exercise greater influence
in enriching the State and in properly modifying our educational theories and practices.
“the legislator voted for this law, no doubt thinking it would he a means of
Improving the farms of Georgia; but the modern edmntor believes that it will erve
not only for the Improvement of the farms of Georgia but also for the improvement
of the I toys of Georgia; he sees not oily a practical but also in educational vshie In

iSPiNELESS CACTUS
GROWN IN GEORGIA
FOUND TO BE PROFITABLE
Experiment With Fruit By Sa
vannahian Highly Successful.
Dr. J. R. Dedge plucked the first
ripe fruit yesterday from the spineless
cactus bushes with which he is ex
perimenting on his farm in Bacon
county. This marks a distinct ad
vance in Georgia agriculture for the
seemingly wonderful results claimed
by Luther Burbank, the wizard of
Santa Rosa, California, have been
more than substantiated.
Four years ago Dr. Dedge bought
nineteen cactus plats with misgivings
as to their value. The experiment had
never been made in Georgia, but now
he is glad he made the venture for he
has over 200,000 slabs of the plant
with a distinct market value and a
satisfaction in his mind that the cul
tivation of these new wonders will
greatly benefit the state.
In various parts of the world stock
men make it a practice of feeding wild
thorney cactus after burning off the
spines or thorns. Luther Burbank
realized the great need of a forage
which would thrive unGer severe arid
conditions and experimented with the
wild thorny cactus. Recently he de
clared that this spineless cactus which
is the result of his experiments to be
cr.e of the most important food prod
ucts of this age.
A cactus slab which is usually about
twelve inches by eight in size, spongy
in texture, and about an inch thick
can be laid anywhere on the ground
and it will take root. Little care is
needed in planting and no irrigation
or cultivation is necessary. The slabs
can be cut into pieces and it costs lit
tle to raise it. No fertilizer or train
ing is necessary to raise 100 tons to
the acre no matter what weather, and
they need not be harvested, but fed
raw to chickens, cows, horses and
gcats.
Cactus is never produced from seed,
but always from cuttings or slabs.
Tests show that spineless cactus pro
duces superior beef and more milk
ar.d butter. It thrives on land that
is valueless for other crops. It repro
duces itself indefinitely from the orig
inal cuting. It is a natural silage in
that it may be cut and fed in its rich
succulent state any month in the year
and no silos are needed.
Dr. Dedge says it is not only the
forage crop that is valuable, but its
fruit as well is most delicious. He dis
played with pride fourteen ripe cactus
pears on one slab which were unique
in color and form and about the size
of an ordinary pear. It has a skin
somewhat thinner than the skin of a
banana, which when peeled leaves a
delightfully refreshing pulp of de
licious flavor. The pear may be eaten
like an apple or sliced and eaten with
cream as with peaches. It contains
more sugar than sugar cane and makes
excellent preserves and syrups. The
colors of the fruit are most pleasing,
ranging from a light green yellow to
deep crimson. The juice from the
fruit is crimson and is used for col
oring ices, jelly and confectionery.
Dr. Dedge says it costs only one
tenth as much to raise these pears as
to raise oranges and costs nothing to
raise the slabs for food for stock, and
next year he intends to have at least
fifty acres of the plants and plenty
of all kinds of stock to enjoy it. All
these facts and observations by Dr.
Dedge are based on a test covering the
last four years in Georgia.—Savannah
