CO-OPERATION IN BUYING A PURE i BRED DRAFT SIRE FOR A COMMUNITY By Andrew M. Soule, Preeident Georgia State College of Agriculture. la the days when the bull tongue, Dixie plow and other Implements of similar type were depended upon In the South, the light, active cotton mule served every purpose, but now agricul tural practices are becoming more In tensive, a greater variety of machinery Is used and a heavier type of work stock Is demanded. A good policy for most communities to follow In introducing heavier draft stock Is not to Import mares, but to purchase desirable draft sires. Os course where mares can be bought at reasonable price and of good Quality desirable ends will be attained. That the pure-bred draft sire can be Introduced to advantage Is evidenced by a number of example* In Georgia Where there has been failure, gener ally It Is the result of lack of knowl edge of what a good animal is ana his real value. Peddlers of draft stallions are asking TEST SEED BEFORE YOU PLANT; LARGER CROPS WILL RESULT John R. Fain, Professor of Agronomy, Georgia State College of Agriculture. During the winter months th« aver age farmer will find more time to test seed that he is to use for plant lng In the spring than he will prob ably find at any other time. Os course, seed selection should begin In the field. Having chosen good ears from the best yielding stalks and keeping these In a dry place, these ears can be test ed with very little trouble any time In the winter. A box with sand In it and slight moisture kept In a place where It will not get too cold will soon germinate the grains from the ears to be tested. Take ten grains from an ear and plant In a single row, numbering the row and the ear so that records will not get mixed. The grains should prefer ably be taken from different parts of the ear. When the grain has developed a shoot, note how many of the rows Weak Germination on the Left, Strong Germination on the Right. Junior Westminster League is Organized. At the Mt.

Littleton Sharpe' from $2,500 to $3,000 for animals that can be purchased in many instances rot S3OO to SSOO. There is no reason why a farmer or a body of co-operating farmers should not go directly to where these animals are bred and buy at first hand at reasonable cost. It pays tc send an expert to buy breeding stock; that Is, a man who knows the type and conformation which should De sought and is able to judge of the soundness of the animal offered ror sale. Wherever possible the services of an expert of the College of Agriculture will be given any body of farmers de siring to invest In draft stock, only expenses being required. However, the College Is not prepared to spare the services of men except occasionally for such purposes until sufficient funds are obtained to carry out plans which are in mind for promoting improve ments in various lines of breeding throughout the state. shows as many as nice out of the ten grains germinating. These rows alone are of further interest. Discard the ears which have shown less than 90 per cent, germination. To make fur ther tests of the ears that have shown in excess of 90 per cent, germination, you will have to examine the root de velopment of each grain. Those that have three or more large, well devel oped roots, can be classed as having strong germination, those with less, weak germination. Again discard the ears not showing strong germination as indicated by root development and you have re maining the best seed it is possible for you to select. Such selected seed will yield from 25 to 60 per cent, more grain than that which has not been se lected in this way. The returns make the little time and attention given to it, one of the most remunerative lines of work in which the farmer can en gage. MADE STATE DEPOSITORY. State of Georgia, Executive Department.
