Co-Operation in
Buying Farm Machinery
L. C. HART, Professor Of Agr. Engi
neering, Ga. State College Of Agr.
Many farmers of Georgia will never
be able to participate in the benefits
of some lines of farm machinery until
such machines have been purchased
co-operatively. For one farmer to buy
all of them would tie up too much cap
ital. It would not pay. But for sev
eral farmers to buy and get use of
such machinery, good profits will fol
low.
The purchase of threshing machin
ery, farm traetors, harvesting ma
chines, silo fillers, corn shredders,
etc., may be instanced. Special ef
fort is to be made by Agricultural En
gineering department of the College
to get farmers in communities to pur
chase farm machinery in this way.

Selecting A Location
For An Orchard
J. W. FIROR, Field Agt. Horticulture,
Ga. State College Of Agriculture
Many people are preparing to plant
' peach and apple orchards. At plant
ing time, the location of the orchard
is not always given the consideration
I that it merits. At marketing time lo
cation is very, very important. How
well is the orchard located with refer
ence to railroad facilities? How far
from the loading station? What sort
of roads must be -used to haul over?
These are the Questions the orchard
ists should answer before planting.
A large peach grower who was only
two miles from the loading station,
found, during a rainy season, that the
job of hauling the peaches from his
packing shed to the cars was tremen
dous. After the first few loads, the
roads became very badly cut up, later
they became almost impassable. There
are very few places where conditions
make it advisable to plant a peach
orchard over three miles from the
loading point. Apple orchards are
suited to more distant planting, but
usually four miles is the limit.
As long as there is an abundance
of suitable land near the railroads,
use it. The difference in price is very
seldom sufficient to justify the differ
ence in cost of hauling. Yet, the ac
tual cost of hauling does not tell the
whole tale. Cars move away from
the depot aecording to freight sched
ules and also come into the depot in
the same way. The orchard closest
has an advantage in getting his fruit
moved quickly, and this is of spe
cial importance with peaches.
MANY SILOS BEING
BUILT IN GEORGIA
The largest number of silos ever
built in any one year in Georgia are
being built this year. The College of
Agriculture has directed in the con- '
struction of several hundred through j
its specialists and county agents.
