TUESDAY “HART COUNTY DAY” IN ATHENS
By H. W. BINGHAM.
Tuesday, August 26th, will be
Hart county day at the State College
of Agriculture in Athens. An aero
plane cotton dusting demonstration
will be given in person by Dr. Coad,
of the T dlulah Experiment Station
in Louisiana. This is the first offi
cial appearance of Dr. Coad in Geor
gia, and at 11 o’clock' he will dis
cuss the ENTIRE BOLL WEEVIL
CONTROL PROBBEM, .just before
the airplane demonstration. It is
expected that there will be 5,000 to
10,000 people present from Georgia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Ala
bama and Tennessee. This is the
greatest step ever taken in boll wee
vil control work, and airplane dust
ing is now an accomplished fact in a
practical way in places. This will be
the greatest assemblage of boll wee
vil fighters in the history of Georgia.
Every County Agent in north Geor
gia will be present, on request.
Three airplanes will be used. One
is an army plane adapted to boll wee
vil dusting. The two others are
specially built for dusting. These
two flying together, dust a strip 600
feet wide, at the rate of 5,000 acres
per hour.
Farmers from Hart county will
leave here not later than 8:30 A. M.,
in order to reach Athens by 11 at
least. After the dusting demonstra
tion you will inspect the College
farm.
Cover Crops.
We want to get the greatest num
ber of farmers this fall to grow some
kind of cover crops. To this end,
we are asking the assistance of ev
ery progressive farmer, business man
and all other agencies in Hart coun
ty. The prices on vetches, clovers,
and other cover crop seeds this year
are very low. There ought to be
from 5 to 50 acres on every farm.
In fact, every acre of cotton and
■corn land ought to be growing with
some kind of crop which will be
turned under in the spring.
Nitrogen.
There is formed in your soil be
tween now and spring the equivalent
of 200 pounds of nitrate of soda,
which will be washed and leached
away if ypu do not have some grow
ing crop there to take it up as fast
as it is formed. Nitrogen is the
basis of growth in plants and ani
mals. If *iou do not have it, pro
duction is limited. There is no sub
stitute for nitrogen. A certain min
imum is required. Nitrogen is the
highest pricer fertilizer. It is the
scarcest in your soil. It is the most
difficult to keep in the soil. It washes
out with every rain. If it does not
wash out, in a few weeks it changes
its form and evaporates, unless the
plant takes it up. Not all will
evaporate, but most of it will, unless
removed in some other way.
Cover crops take up nitrogen from
the soil as fast as it is formed there.
It is formed there whether a crop
is being grown or not. The so-call
ed non-symbiotic nitrogen gathering
bacteria put nitrogen in the soil.
They are your best friends. But
you allow their work to waste, be
cause you put no crop on the land
to take up the nitrogen which they
have taken from the air and stored
in the soil. If you have a crop to
take them up, and then turn this
crop under, it rots, liberating all of
this nitrogen for use of the grow
ing crop next summer.
And all the rotten matter, or hu
mus, which comes from this cron
turned under, feeds bacteria which
take nitrogen from the air.
What Kind.
There are two kinds of cover crops
one the small grains, or ndn-le
gume, and the leguminous cover
crops such as clovers. The clovers
not only take up nitrogen from the
ground as it iS formed there, but
bacteria working on the roots of the
clover plants also store up nitrogen
in the top of the clover, hence the
clovers are doubly effective in put
ting nitrogen in the soil.
Next week we will give a fuH de
scription of desirable cover crops
for Hart county, with advantages and
disadvantages of each. You are
urged to put in your order for seeds
right away. We will also have re
ports from farmers who have had
experience with cover crops last
year. Watch for these.
Grain.
Every farmer should grow enough
wheat and oats for his family, work
stock, cows, and chickens. Indica
tions are that a big acreage will be
grown this winter. The yields were
good this year, and folks are en
couraged.
Down in Smiths District, the fol
lowing men made the following
yields: Data is given in bushels
planted and then bushels yield. S.
B. Gaines planted 2 1-2 bushels, har
vested 63; J. S. Craft 3 1-2 and 81;
W. L. Seawright 2 and 50; L. M.
Cunningham 2 and 50; A. W. Gaines
2 and 40; F. O. Mauldin 3 and 70;
I. S. Haley 4 acres with 56 bushels;
I*. 0. Mann 2 and 30; R. L. Shiffet
2 1-2 and 44.
All these fellows ought to be able
to furnish visitors large amounts of
fried chicken and eggs. Nothing is
better than wheat as a feed for
chickens, except a mixture of several
feeds.
Camp Wilkins.
Quillie Richardson, Broughton
Hall, Luther Hall, Clyde Williams,
Allen Phillips, Joseph Phillips, Blan
ton Allen, Depree Cochran, Dewey
Herring and Frank Cartee, Hart
county club boys, w r ere at Camp Wil
kins in Athens last week, going over
Monday morning and coming back
Saturday afternoon. They surely
enjoyed the $30,000.00 camp house,
swimming pool, along with all the
equipment of the State College of
Agriculture for instruction purposes.
The following is a letter received
from one of the boys:
Lavonia, Ga., Route 2.
August 18, 1924.
Mr. H. W. Bingham.
Dear Sir:—Writing you to tell you
I sure did enjoy our trip to Athens
camp so much and I think all the rest
of the boys did that were there.
Sorry all the club boys did not have
the opportunity to go, as I think it
a week well spent.
BLANTON ALLEN.
P. S.—Bring me one of our pic
tures when you come to Shoal Creek.
We hope to have fifty boys at
Camp Wilkins another year. It
should be the purpose of every par
ent who has a boy in club work to
see that they go to this camp. The
associations, experiences, and in
structions received there are worth
many times the cost, which is $7.00
per boy.
CHOICE OF STUDY
The program of deciding what
course of study one should take in
high school is not given the serious
thought it should have. Parents and
pupils alike are prone to disregard
the sifinificance of a bad choice un
til it is too late to rectify the mis
take. It is entirely within the realms
of possibility for a conscientious pu
pil to waste a whole year at school.
There are some studies that have,
when considered apart from the vo
cation they belong, no economic
value. There are other studies, the
content of which is so universally
adaptable to the needs of each in
dividual that there can be no ques
tion as to their economical value to
all.
No pupil who expects to enter the
ministry, or who desires to make law
or medicine his life s vocation should
leave high school without having
had two years’ of Latin. No normal,
healthy girl should consider her high
school course complete who does not
know the fundamentals involved in
cooking, sewing, house keeping, and
care of the human body.
Under the general subject Agri
culture is taught many things, all of
which have a measurable economical
value and many of which effect the
efficiency of every person who lives
in a country where farming is the
chief vocation.
Every boy in Hart county who can
conveniently do so, and who has not
a burning ambition to study medi
cine or the ministry should devote
one-fourth of his time to a study of
Agriculture and its allied subjects.
No boy, however, who cannot obtain
for his individual use, a tract of
land of sufficient size, or number of
animals or other property of suffi
cient economic value to make his
work of serious consequence can
hope to get the greatest amount of
good from this study. The train
ing is not complete that does not
include science, art, and responsibil
ity. Without ownership we cannot
develop responsibility. Without re
sponsibility we can have no vision,
and if we have no vision progress is
impossible.
