WITH COUNTY AGENT BINGHAM POULTRY SALES The last poultry sale, Friday, did not get quite as many chickens as it should have, although the sale did very well. The next sale will be on Friday, .June 26th, at Hartwell and will probably be the last one rtf this season unless we see more chickens in sight. It was believed that these regular sales could be kept up until July, and we feel that the next one ■will get a good bunch of stuff. WHY DO YOU DO IT? Why do you patronize poultry sales? And do you do so regularly, or do you just run from place to place, being enticed by a cent better hert> and a cent better there? Tin principle of cooperative mar keting is absolutely sound, and should have #our support. If co operative sales are not sound, tell US about it, instead of spreading poi son talk elsewhere. The matter will bear open investigations and com ment. If they are not sound, then help work out a sound system of mar keting. If they are sound, then do your best to help them out. Not only that, but help to educate your neighbor into believing in,them. The farmers of Hart county can never make more than a bare living as long as they listen to this an 4 that put out by people who have personal in terest only to serve. Hart county is the second county in the state to join with other coun- ; ties in establishing poultry sale routes. If it is encouraged by ev- j eriyone, this county can in a few years market one half million dollars | worth of poultry products yearly. READ MUCH.

Mr. Tabor was for several i years with the Extension Division, and be thus had an opportunity to see many improved methods of farm ing which were being practiced about over the state. The suggestions of Mr. Ward con cerning boll weevils are also good, as outlined in this same issue. CULTIVATING COTTON Bear in mind that cotton which is several inches high shbuld not be plowed deep. Watch that scooter. I The chances are that YOU are let ting yours run too deep if you use one. Folks, the old scooter and scrape is ruining as much cotton as it is helping in Hart county. You may not think they are going deep but they are. We are glad to see more people using the spring tooth harrow, going one trip to the row. By this method you can cultivate twice as often, and thereby control grass and weeds. Fix yours up and use it. We will be glad to come out and assist you if you are in doubt about it being a good tool. We can give you good references to folks who are using this tool to advantage. WHEAT YIELDS Wheat seems to be very good this year. We have heard of some good yields, but the best so far seems to be that of Mrs. J. A. Wood, of Cross Roads, who made 97 1-2 bushete on four acres. We would be glad to have your report on grain yields, in order that . it may be published here, as it will encourage others to sow more wheat | and oats. Drop us a card. It will help your friends and neighbors who read it. TOMATO ROTS Tomatoes are rotting now because of the dry weather. Rain will stop the disease, which is not caused by germs or other organisms. Worms in tomatoes can be con trolled by spraying well with arsen ate of lead mixed one tablespoonful to a gallon of water. Dusting light ly will also do the work. Cabbage worms can be controlled by dusting the cabbages lightly with calcium arsenate, or by spraying it on. CANTELOUPE WORMS The canteloupe worm which bores into the melon before it ripens is hard to control. About the only remedy is to lay the young melon on a board. SPRAY PEACHES Now is the time to spray Elberta peaches, and others which ripen about the same time. Use Dry Mix, with afsenate of lead added. This prevents Brown Rot at time of ripen ing, and also worms which are found in the ripe peaches. Sorghum Dangerous. It is dangerous to graze sorghum now during the extremely dry weath er. Hydrocyanic acid gas forms in it. This is gas in one of the most deadly known to man, and extremely small quantities of it will kill ani mals. A few cows have been re ported being made sick with eating sorghum in this county this -year. The sorghum can be cut, and af ter curing for 12 hours, it is safe for feeding. Be careful about wild cherry trees in your pasture. The > grass is so scarce now that animals may .be tempted to eat wild cherry leaves. The result is the same as with sor ghum, except that it is more dan gerous. Especially do not allow ani mals to eat the leaves from cherry trees which have blown down be cause of winds. The wilted leaves will almost certainly kill animals that eat them. SODA ON COTTON It will pay yet to top dress cotton with soda. Try a little. MEXICAN JUNE CORN. Mexican June corn is a fine varie ty to plant after stubble. It is ear ly, and is a pretty good corn, of a good quality. Be sure that you have enough corn planted. BOLL WEEVILS Have you found any boll weevils yet? Look well. Go out and ex amine about fifty stalks in one place, then skip over to another place and do the same. Keep this up until you have examined fifteen to twenty spots about over the field. By this you can get some idea as to how many weevils you have. Do not think that there are no | weevils to come out yet. Good sue- j cessful farmers and business men stand and honestly say that weevils I are through coming out, but this 1 1 does not make it so. They are not I through coming out yet, and will • come out for a month yet. As to I whether they will hurt you or not, ■ |no man can tell. It depends on the 1 radius we have, and other things. ' If you are seeking information on this point, ask for complete bulletin. • | It makes statements that cannot be H denied later. This cannot be said > of talk. TESTING COWS Bear in mind that cows will be I tested again the week of July 6th. | Stops will be made wherever 5 cows : can be assembled. Many admitte 1 that they neglected to list their i names last time. Be careful «that I you do not do this again. The farmers of the county should ■ give credit to the City of Hartwell, and particularly to the efforts of , | Mayor A. S. Richardson for the cow ' i testing work in the county. Mr. ’ Richardson has worked hard to help • | put this over. The City of Hartwell ' - has paid out several dollars on this I work, to carry the tester around, ; simply in order to have the work | done more efficiently. Many farm ' ' ers have already expressed deep ap ' | preciation for this. Bear in mind that the testing was ! done through the State Veterinary • j Department. ’ | o i i Os 293,488 houses destroyed in the earthquake in Japan last Septem ber, 144,797 have been restored. o Tis always best to stop and pray p before you claim the right of way.— ' I j Albany Evening News.
