All She Could
But Not Enough
ATLANTA, March 9. —Shakespeare's
remarks about the inadvisability of
wedding December and May, or maybe
it was June, have been again justified
in the matrimonial shipwreck of Mr.

divorce courts havee been called on
to adjust.
She is only sweet sixteen, while
Friend Husband is past middle aged
and perhaps growing bald. Mrs.
Brewster says that though a mere
child she did everything she could to!
make Mr. Brewster a happy home, butj
that it was no go.
VALUE OF A TRAINED
AGRICULTURIST
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College Os Agriculture
Statistics show that the earning ca
pacity of every man the university
is increased by about S2O a day for
every day of the four years he is or
dinarily in college, or to the extent
of $24,000 for his life-earning period.
These figures are based on public
school training providing a life-earn
ing ability of $32,000, high school
training $48,000 and University train
ing $72,000.
Georgia has invested half a million
dollars in higher education in agricul
ture, and, according to these figures,
is destined to secure from graduates
and post-graduates alone $1,920,000;
from short course men, based on one
twelfth the return from college course,
$3,472,000, or a grand total of $5,392-
000.
No line of human activity is more
likely to give returns equivalent to
these figures than agriculture, the
least understood, appreciated or sci
entifically correlated of our vocations.
In fact, what investment can a state
hope to make which will pay so large
a dividend as the training of her youth
to participate with efficiency in her
basic agricultural industries?
Thus, the formations for initial lead
ership have been established, for Geor
gia has been fortunate in returning
within her own borders practically ev
ery man who has ever attended a
course at the College of Agriculture,
and the great majority of the small
but loyal and efficient body of alumni
are now working for the state in some
capacity.
Forest leaves Provide
Fertilizing Material
J. B. Berry, Professor Os Forestry,
Georgia College Os Agriculture.
Many thousand of pounds of valua
ble fertilizer are destroyed each year
in Georgia, which, if properly treated,
would rival barnyard manure. Large
quantities of leaves are burned with
out any thought of their fertilizing
value. In all parts of Europe the farm
ers eagerly gather the leaves from
the forest, along the roads and from
the fields, often paying for the privi
lege. Leaves thus gathered are com
posted usually near where they are
gathered. After a year or two the
composted material is hauled to the
barnyard and mixed with the barn
yard manure as a part of the compost
there.
As a rule leaves decompose much
more rapidly than the crude fiber of
many agricultural crops, and contain
larger quantitites of nitrogen and pot
ash. The leaves may be raked to
gether after a rain into piles and over
them a layer of soil sufficiently thick
to hasten decomposition, may be plac
ed. Quick lime sprinkled over the
leaves will help the decay.
Recent Bulletins of College
The College of Agriculture is almost
constantly issuing circulars, bulletins
and other forms of publications, all
of which are free. They are made
as timely as possible and applicable
to conditions in existence now. The
fertilizer situation has developed cir
culars on potash and rock phosphate.
What to do for potash, of course, is
a vital question. W’arning is issued
in this circular against use of caustic
soda for potash', efforts being made
by some people to sell such materials
in Georgia as a substitute for pot
ash. The bulletin on the use of rock
phosphate as a substitute for phos
phoric acid tells what may be expect
ed and warns farmers not to expect I
immediate results from it.
Circulars on lime have been issued
from time to time, and one is in
course of preparation touching new
phases of the lime question as devel
oped recently in the state. Particu
larly for the use of corn clubs and
demonstration agents, a circular has
been issued on corn cultivation.
“Farm Management Under 801 l
Weevil Conditions” is the subject of a
timely and important bulletin issued
to tell how farmers can cautiously
change their farm practices, but urges
them to keep on growing cotton to a
limited extent.
ACUTE CATARRH OF PIGS
Dr. W. M. Burson, Veterinarian, Geor
gia State College Os Agriculture.
Cold in the head often occurs in
pigs during cold, wet weather. The
disease is frequently seen among pigs
not properly sheltered, or which are
overcrowded in insanitary surround
ings. Pigs that burrow under piles
of manure or stacks of forage are
most commonly affected. Exposure to
cold rains and draughts and dipping
during cold weather are other causes.
Symptoms, Frequent sneezing,
dullness, inactivity, reduced appetite,
eyes watery and inflamed, cough, dif
ficult breathing, discharge from nos
trils.
Treatment. Correct the in
sanitary conditions, provide prop
er shelter, prevent overcrowding.
Feed on warm slop of bran
or shorts. Give a laxative dose of
epsom salts or castor oil in the feed.
If nasal passages are clogged and
breathing is difficult, steam with hot
water to which turpentine has been
added.
WORLD'S LEADING
IS TOBACCO TOWN
Extracts from an address delivered '
by Col. A. I). Watts, collector of in- ,
ternal revenue for the Fifth district of
North Carolina, at a smoker given by
the Twin City club. Winston-Salem,
are: j
“Winston-Salem is supplying ont-1
fourth of all the chewing and smoking
tobacco consumed in the United States,;
besides exporting vast quantities to I
foreign lands. This statement is taken I
from tlie report of the commissioner of I
internal revenuue for the first quarter I
of the present fiscal year and from pri
vate advices from Washington as to the
second quarter, which ended December
31st last.
“Your city is making one-sev.snth of
all tobacco products—chewing and
cmoking tobacco, cigars, cigarettes and i
snuff—banut’actured in the United!
States. Your manufacturers are pay
ing an average of about $37,000 a day
revenue taxes to the government, and
th? amount is increasing from month
to month. When your government
building, much the handsomest in the
state, was completed last July at a cost
t) r $250,000 your newspapers made the
statement that the taxes paid in your
city to Uncle Sam for the first eight
days of its occupancy would pay for
it Sine.? September, it has taken only
a traction over seven average days col
lections here to equal its cost. So far
this week, Mr. Cranford has taken in
$206,428.50. I predict that before 1916
ehall have ended your average w,eekly
payments to tlie government on tobac
co will more than pay for this magni
ficent building, leaving the collections
for tlie other fifty-one weeks as clear
profit to the government.
