Souie, State College of Agriculture. Ten (lays spoilt at the first of the year gaining new information and get ting new light on farm problems at the State College of Agriculture at Athens, have proven of benefit to many farmers. It has been the means of some getting into new and better pay ing lines of farming than they have boon conducting. To all, the course has meant the broadening of their con ception of the possibilities, as well as thoir knowledge of the great underly ing principles of agriculture. The first of the year is a good time to plan the farm program. It may bo that you want to take up some thing new, but you do not have all the information you would like. Why not got It at the short course? Perhaps your soil is losing its fertility each year and yo-u want to know how it can be built up without buying it. Perhaps you are interested in start ing the raising of colts, or beef cat tle, or dairy cattle, or pigs. If you have not had successful" experience, you will provably find that learning how costs far less at the Short Course. Perhaps you may be interested in growing uifalfa, silage crop, or other crop suited to Georgia. The College COTTON BOLL DOT JO SEED SELECTION John R. Fain, Professor of Agronomy. Showing Anthracnose on 8011. Go Into the cotton Held and get your seed. Any other way is hazard ; ous. Select seed from plants that are free from disease and especially free from cotton anthracnose or boll rot. Georgia lost 12,000,000 from anthrac nose during 1913. according to federal reports. The disease is spreading and | greater losses may be expected. Select seed from well formed, hardy high-producing plants that do not bear signs of anthracnose, and you not only have the best assurance of pro . tection from boll rot, but an assurance of the largest yield. The College has been selecting seed In this way during the past few years and has a variety of cotton that has i proven highly free from the disease. Rounds of T.

The marriage of Miss Jesse Wilson, second daughter of the President, and Mr. Francis B. i Sayre, took place in the noted east room of the white house on Tuesday afternoon. The event | has filled the newspapers for weeks, and was quite as brillant as months of preparation could make it. There were 400 invited " guests, and Rev. Sylvester W. « Beach of Princeton, N. J., offi- i c ated. h;;s not only the information, hut ac tual results to exhibit that have been j obtained from the College farm. You have doubtless been buying fer- ! tilizer without a knowledge of the needs of your soil, thus throwing away your hard-earned money. In a ten- j days' course you can learn something , about fertilizers that will prove a great saving in the future. Should you be interested in introduc ing new farm machinery, you will find that the short course affords oppor tunities for studying and comparing ■ advantages of various makes, under , i expert advice, it may save you from j { throwing away many dollars on ma- j j chinery that is impractical for your J farm. j If it is trucking, orcharding, vine- | 1 yards in which you wish to get infor- j mation, the course in horticulture is j offered. If it is poultry, you will find a good course and a well-equipped plant at your service. The short course is offered, of j course, to the farmers of Georgia to help them meet their farm problems. I The attitude of the College is to ren der assistance to as many as It can. It stands ready to be used by the j people and welcomes demands upon lts service. Where seed can not be bought that has been proven free from the dis ease, the farmer must rely on his own cotton fields. Any one can de velop a variety of cotton into a high state of freedom from the disease by proper seed selection in his own fields. If anthracnose is not present, it pays well to select seed in the field from the best plants. Yields can be built up remarkably in this way. Everything that conduces to weak ness of plant development lays the plant open to all diseases that may appear, so that the best assurance of ■ freedom from loss is obtained only when there has been right seed selec tion and right cultivation both before \ and after the seed is planted. In other j words, strong plants are healthiest. 1 J Jr The Weber Wagon Leads All Others Follow For sixty-five years the highest grade material, the finest I workmanship and the light running qualities of the Weber I wagon have endeared it to the hearts of Weber users.
