Hie experts from the Georgia Col «e of * Agriculture . express*! jemselves last mght.as being de lighted with th- reception given them in Tift, and the large audiene- es greeting them. Wednesday morning at the Agri cultural School there was a repro-' sentative attendance, not only of the student body, but of the fanners from the aeetion surrounding. The lecturers were listened to with close attention. Vancevillc Wednesday after- ■t 2:30 there was a f tendance and much interest mani fested. The visitors were very much impressed with this progressive com munity. and with the audjgnce that me: them. — C. Lewis, of Bainbridge, talked on the destruction wrought !>y the boll weevil in the section «om under, his observation. Ur. W. M. Brown, agricultural -„jnl of the Southern Railway, talked, on cattle raising and the prof, beef cattle. , if. H. L.

Feb. 8.-The Delks department sto »ed late last night, entailing a loss’of $150,000. Colleg talked c What On the answer to this question de pends hundreds of thousands of dol lars to the fanners of this imme diate section, for the grain acreage waa the largest here in many years and if the crop is a loss, it Is a severe blow to the farmers of South Georgia. And added to this loss is tho fact that it is now too late to sow another crop. There is ho doubt that oats are killed—to the ground. The only ,—ition U, will. they come out? Neither is there much question as to 'lose sowed late, and which had just >me up—they arc gone. Many express the opinion that ■ata Isowed eatrly had taken firm root, and that they will sprout with the return of warm weather. Oth ers think that the roots are killed. P- rhaps, as is so often the case, both are right, the result depending i local conditions. Among those reporting oats thoroughly killed that there is tic prospect of their coming out a stand sufficient to justify the «», *f the land are: J. H. Hutchinson, 1 Reynolds, of Norman Park; A. D. M Willis. Abe Conger, G. W. Walker, and many others. Nearly all of these report wheat killed. Mr. M. F. Myers, of the Myers Seed and Plant Company, says be a bunch of-oats to the house and thawed them out. He thinks enough vitality in them to warrant the expectation coming out with warm weather. Mr. Myers also thinks their Sstsuma oranges, of which they l^»ve a beau tiful grove, are little injured. ^ r ' ^ L. Harman, whose place is ear the Myers Seed and Plant Co., thinks his oats will yet make a srop. They were planted eprly. Mr. N N. Mai do bn telephoned the Gazette this morning from Ty Ty that he had made a thorough inspec tion of his crop, and he thinks his oats are safe, also his wheat. This is the best and most direct news we ivc had from the crop. Mr J. J. L. Phillip, say, he can- •t tell as yet, but he thinks older oats will come out "A few dmy,, lore will tell the tale,” he said. Mr. Hunnicutt, Editor of the South- m Cultivator, took a look " Phillips' Tin Farm. Now .... th* Finest Shorthorn H-.__ America. Co.t $11,000. Adding nine Shorthorn cows already beautiful collection of tnesc prodigious beef producers, Mr. Wil lingham Tift may properly lay claim to the worthy distinction of owning or- of the finest herds in America, the total cost of which exceeds $11,- 100. 'There are twenty-five pure bred Shorthorns in the loti which Place* the average co^c of each an imal in excess of $440.

The nine cows arrived from Chi- c«go Monday I n the same car were *ix other Shorthorns bought by tho universities at Clemson, S. C.. Gain sviUe, Pla., and Athens, Ga. This particular lot of Shorthorns came from Northcote, Minn., and were raised by one of the most suc cessful breeders in the Northwest. The bidding for the pieck of the herd was very spirited, stock men from all parts of tbs United States competing with Mr. TUt, who finely secured the prize cow for $1,060. This cow has won first prize herevar exhibited and has been fea tured in moving pictures. When the auction was ovgr, Mr. Tift was con gratulated by the editors of three live stock journals present and by many of the leading breeders tor securiny the finest cow in hibit. New York.
