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 ticulars address R. S. Carroll, Ailey, Ga. Citation. Georgia—Montgomery County. D. H.

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. Announcements Wheeler Co. For Clerk Superior Court Wbeeler County.

Oearaia] —'Fill *DITtO BY rut STA/T ' 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.

They have “the goods.” \ 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 , anthracnose, thrives especially during moist weather. Tiie seed to be planted next season should bo selected from plants which have withstood the disease and be i fore planting, the formaldehyde treat incut should be given to destroy the spore of the fungus that is doubtless frequently carried to now tields in the seed. The stalks of affected plants should bo burned, and it Is better to. plant some other crop in the field for two or three years. 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. To give an idea of the standing of the Georgia Slate College of Agrlcul tore before the world, the chief ex pert In the cotton industry of Russia came all the way to the college to study varieties, cotton grading and methods of handling and marketing as taught by the college. He was much pleased with what he learned.
