“The farm of R L. Hastey, at
Chipley, Harris county, ius the
scene of some trail blaring a few
weeks ago when farmer®, county
agents, bankers and business men
from all portions of Geordi i gath
ered to inspect an outstanding ex
ample of soil-improvement. They
came, they saw and went «wsy con
vinced.
“The Hastey farm is typical of
thousands of others in Georgia. Six
years ago it was an ordinary run
down cotton farm, having its share
of gulleys and bare spots. Parts of
the farm are still pour no better
and. no worse than thousands of oth
ers in the state. But a considerable
portion of the farm has been mad?
rich by growing crimson clover and
vetch as winter cover crops.
“Aabout six years ago Mr. Hastey,
who farms on an extensive scale, be
gan his campaign of soil imoro’ Ce
ment. The State College of Agri
culture was instrumental in arous
ing Mr. Hastey’s interest in trying
out crimson clover and hairy vetch
The results have more than exceed
ed his expectations. Now his farm
is pointed to as model. He is a pi
oneer and a trail blazer in soil im
provement, just as E/ans Luns
ford Is in pasture building.
“On the part of his farm where
clover and vetch have been planted
for a few years Mr. Hastey has
some wonderfully fine crops grow
ing. He has cotton that looks good
for a bale to the acre. His corn,
without any fertilizer whatsoever,
is as good as can be found any
where. The corn was planted after
clover and vetch, and is much bet
ter than that on an adjoining farm
where nitrate of soda war used.
“Not only has Mr. Hastey improv
ed his soil but he has done it in tn
Jecoonoinical way. He has done
nothing that other farmers of Geor
gia cannot do. He followed a cam
paign as outlined by the college au
thorities. Now his success is be
ing studied by farmers, county
agents and business mar:.’’

meet here tomorrow for the first
of two international conferences
which will attempt to solve the
opium evil, and, what is of more
immediat" interest to the American
people, endeavor to set up machin
ery to check the illicit international
traffic in habit-forming drugs.
The first conference will be re
stricted to those Far Eastern coun
tries where opium smoking pre
vails and to countries that have pos
sessions in the Far East where
opium smoking is still permitted un
d’ r the Hague convention of 1912.
The pacticular object of this con
ference jg, to determine an estimate
of the requirements of all these
countries in raw opium destined for
smoking, so that the estimate may
be passed along to the more gen
eral international conference, which
will open at Geneva, November 17.
The United States will send a
delegation to the second conference
which will have representatives
from all government of

L ague of Nations officials un
derstand that the United States
federal government and the state
governm'ents have perfectly well in
hand the manufacture of narcotic
drugs, but that what the United
States apprehends is the smuggling
of habit-forming drugs into Ameri

he American delegation will strive
for an international system of con
trol which will be watertight, and
which will prevent the throwing on
to the world market of a quantity
of alkaloids in excess of medical
and scientific requirements. A
criticism, of the draft convention is
that it provides no system whereby
countries which seize opium or nar
cotic drugs should make an account
