Carrollton, Georgia. he Free Press 6ne Year $1.00 Second Educational Special Has Interesting Exhibits The exhibits on the second edu cational train that will arrive in Carrollton March 17th, are tastefully arranged, and present in graphic form data of interest on every phaze of a gricultural practice in the state of Georgia. The car of live stock is very at tractive. Some splendid specimens \ of horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry being carried on this car. they will be exhibited on a flat car, and this will enable all to see them to advantage. The car of farm ma chinery will prove interesting to many. There is a gas engine, which drives a motor, showing how light for the farm home may be generated; various grinding mills, and a gin, such as farmers might use to delint their choice selected seed, and pre vent itsbeing contaminated by press ing through a public gin; a manure spreader, deep tilling plow, and vari ous other implements the use of which means better preparation of the land and larger and more profit able crops. In the baggage cars many of the exhibits shown are behind glass and present a very attractive sight. Ev erything has been labeled with the utmost care and one taking time enough to pass through the car can gather much valuable information without the aid of a guide, though some fourteen experts accompany the train for the sole purpose of giv ing information to visitors. The Boys’ Corn Club exhibits, showing methods of germinating and testing seed, will interest many. The soil analy ses shown are certainly as im- por.ant as anthing could be .to the iarmers of the state. The exhibit cotton grades will prove instructive to all wno stuuy them for a few minutes. The model farm showing how tl e land should be divided to enable the practice of an economic rotation is one of the most instruc tive ft atures of the train, and ev eryone can afford to spend some time studying this unique exhibit. The working dairy will furnish many valuable lessons. See it by all means. Artificial cotton plants and charts have been prepared to illus trate the effect of a deficiency in certain elements, such as potash or plant growth. A section of plants just as they grow in the field forms a feature of the cotton exhibit, and illustrates a yield of about two and one-half bales per acre. This is one of the selected strains of cotton pro duced on the farm which is resistant to Anthracnose. a disease which causes millions of dollars loss in Georgia every year. In addition there exhibits of spray machinery and spray |material for controlling injurious insects and plant diseases. The State Department of Ento mology has a very attractive dis play. Valuable data is presented relative to fertilizers and fertilizing material, and problems in soil fer tility and farm management. Some twelve bulletins are carried on this train and will be distributed to those asking for them free of cost. They will give information concerning a great variety of topics and aggregate in all more than 2,000,000 pages of printed matter. It would take pages to describe the exhibits carried with any degree of detail or accuracy, but this sum mary will give the public some lcea concerning them. Come and see for your self. You will be benefitted, and those accompanying the train wtll extend every courtesy and con sideration within their power to visitors. FOR SALE—A fe\y prize-winning chickens.
