GOVERNORS TO WORK 1
FOR RURAL CREDITS
Effort will be Made to Land
Capital with which to
Finance Farmers.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 7.
A general credit system for the
financing of farmers as outlined
by President Taft to the gover
nors conference here today will
be considered as a part of the
general currency report to be
attempted by the subcommittee
of the House Banking and Cur
rency Committee, it was declared
today.
Myron T. Herrick, United
States ambassador to France,
will be accorded a special hearing
by the subcommittee seeking a
substitute for the Aldrich cur-1
rency plan. The subcommittee
will meet either Tuesday or
Thursday of next week to hear
Mr. Herrick.
The full committee hearings
will not begin until the week of
Jan, 6, but in view of Mr. Her
rick’s enforced return to Europe
within two weeks he will be ac
corded special hearings.
Mr. Herrick, since becoming
ambassador to France, has made
a special study of the system of
rural credits conducted in Europe
and made a complete report to
President Taft. He is expected
to supply the names of other au
thorities on this subject whom
the committee is anxious to hear.
“We are not going to adopt a
system over night,” said the
President, in his speech to twen
ty-six governors. “It is going to
take considerable time before the
country shall receive the benefit
of it, but the earlier we begin
the agitation the earlier we shall
achieve the purpose we have in
bringing the matter to the atten
tion of the public.
“There is no subject,” contin
ued the President, “of greater
importance to the people of the
United States than the improve
ment of agricultural methods, the
keeping them up to date in all
agricultural communities, the se
curing of profits to the farmers,
the attracting of the young men
of the country to farming as a
lucrative profession and the low
ering of the cost of producing
agricultural products and lower
ing of their prices to the con
sumer.
“An easy exchange between
capital and farmers with proper
security has been established in
European countries where the
rate of interest has been lowered
so that the farmer is practically
on the same basis of advantage
in the borrowing of money as the
business man.
“If this can be done abroad it
can be done here, and if abroad
we find that government institu
tions, adapted to form the con
duit pipe between capitalists and
farmers, are successfully operat
ing, why should we not adopt
them here?”
While conditions in this coun
try and in Europe were some
what different, the President
said, yet by modification of the
European plan the idea could find
a proper place in the United
States.
The undersigned would like to
have a yearly contract as over
seer of a large farm. For par

Buys Whiskey to Get
Evidence in Court.
Dublin, Ga., Dec. s.—One of
the few cases on record where
the solicitor of a court was able
to buy whisky from a blind tiger
in order to secure evidence to
convict came out in the city court
here this week, when William
Morris pleaded guilty to the
charge of selling whisky and
was sentenced to the state farm
on account of the fact that he is
a cripple.
Solicitor General G. B. Davis
of the city court of Dublin heard
that Morx'is was selling whisky
and sent two different men to
him to buy whisky for evidence.
In both instances, the men he
> sent drank the evidence up be
fore they got back to Mr. Davis
and spoiled his plot. Then he
determined to go himself, and he
did. Morris sold him the whisky
and Mr. Davis paid him for it on
the spot, getting a quart for
$1.50. Just a few days later,
Morris was arrested and pleaded
guilty in the court here this
week. He is a cripple and has
to be carried from one place to
another on a mattress, and was
brought into court on one. It is
said that he has been selling
whisky for years in this section
of the state, and is an old offend
er in his line.

' STATE COLLEGE "AERICULTURt
COTTON RISISTANT TO ANTHRACNOSE
By President Andrew M. Soule.
The Georgia State College of Agri- 1
flßltare has succeeded in developing
through selection, a strain of cotton
Which is practically resistant to anth
mcnoee, a fungus disease now esti
mated to be damaging Georgia cotton
ta the axent of about $10,000,000 a
T«ar.
As fast as the growth of this su
perior strain of cotton can be pushed,
the seed will be distributed through- 1
eat the state for the advantage of the
tanners.
At present only a limited amount of
seed can be sent out and then only by
agreement to grow It under the terms
tald down by the college, the purpose
being to hasten the widespread ad
esetage of growing this ootton.
TEBT YOUR SEED CORN.
Jos. R. Pain, Professor of Agronomy.
Iwjnlry—When and how would you
(set seed corn?
Since this Is the season of the year
when farmers can find more time
than others, It is good time to carry
ee germination tests. Prepare boxes
or hot bed, use sand preferably as a
seed bed, plant from G to 10 grains of
corn from each ear to be tested, tak
tag the grains from various points on
the ear; keep temperature, if possi
ble, above 60 degrees. Before plant
tag be sure to properly mark the ears
and the rows planted with grains I
therefrom. A good way to mark the
ears ts to take a small nail and fasten
a piece of cardboard to each ear by
driving nail in the butt of the ear.
Ob this board place a number corres
ponding to a number placed at the
heed of the row.
Let the germinated corn grow long
eeoogh to develop a root system.
Discard all ears showing less than 80
p mr cent, germination. Rxamine the
Mtnefnder to see which show the best
root development, dicarding those
showing the poorest The corn plants
Should have not only a primary root
hot at least throe secondary roots.
It Is better to select an ear that
Shows 80 per cent, germination and
•• per cent, root development than to
select an ear with 100 per cent, ger
mination and 60 per cent root devel
epment
Bo not plant a single ear which you
bava not thus tested. It will take on
ly a short time. From 10 to 14 ears
Bt corn will plant an acre and, of
•came, It will take no great time nor
,t-rrrrgg.

Reports received by the College
from various parts of Georgia show a
widespread loss during this year, due 4
especially to the unusually wet grow- j
ing season. The fungus known as ,

moist weather.

trouble to make thorough tests. The
results will vastly more than justify
the time and trouble.
In selecting types, confine yourself
to that variety of corn most success
fully grown in your neighborhood or
under similar conditions to yours.
You may make a serious mistake by
sending off for corn that is suited
more to other conditions than yours.
CHOLERA NOT A RESPECTER OF
HOGS.
Dr. H. M. Burson, Professor of
Veterinary Science.
Question —Are razor hack or ordi
nary range hogs less subject to hog
cholera than pure bred hogs?
AH breeds are susceptible to chole
ra. Some hogs of all breeds are nat
urally immune. Perhaps the crowd
ed, unsanitary. quarters in which
many pure bred hogs are kept and
the spoiled food they receive, may
account for apparent susceptibility in
some cases, of the pure bred.
Tuberculosis in Hogs.
Question—How can a farmer deter
mine the presence of tuberculosis in
hogs?
The only reliable method is the tu
berculosis test which should be ap
plied only by a qualified veterinarian.
