CORN CLUBS TO SET THE RECORD Organized In All The Coun ties And Are Doing A Great Work J. Phil Campbell, State agent of the Boys’ Corn Clubs, was in the city Wednesday and had a conference with W. G. Cooper, secretary of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, in regard to this year’s corn show. Mr. Campbell has been all over Georgia, and in addition has had reports, from 70 farm demonstra tion agents. He probably is the best posted man in Georgia on farm conditions, particularly the work of the boys and girls in the Corn Clubs, the Three Crop Clubs and the Canning Clubs. He said: “The boys have had better suc cess tin's year than ever before in the Corn Club work, and the girls have more than doubled the work of last year. Fifty-six counties are organized in the Girls’ Canning Clubs and about ft,ooo girls are enrolled. “The Corn Club work is or ganized in all the counties and 10,000 boys are enrolled. The yields of this year are the largest they have ever been. “We will have more than 100 boys here at the corn show with well authenticated yields of more than 100 bushels per acre. We are not prepared yet to give figures, but I expect to see this year a record in corn production for Georgia. “There are 1,000 boys enrolled in the Pig Clubs, who have had splendid success this year. Many of the Pig Club boys will attend the corn show, and exhibits will be made of the ham and bacon club work by James E. Downing, State Superintendent. This should be very interesting to all future Pig Club boys. “The Three Crop Club boys have made excellent yields of cow peas, corn and oats on their two-acre contests. A number of boys have made over 100 bushels per acre of oats.” Floyd County Farmers Can Gain $1,591,013. Rome, Ga., Nov. !).—That Floyd county imports from out side the county goods to the value of $1,501,013 annually which might be raised by the farmers of the county, is the report of the agricultural committee of the Rome chamber of commerce. The committee has been at work on these statistics for several months. It, is estimated that 2(55,329 bushels of corn are ship ped into the county, 13,466 bush els of meal, 6,702 tons of hay, 1,547,083 pounds of meat and lard, 228,6051 bushels of oats, 78,- 000 barrels of Hour, 15,075 bush els of peas, 512 mules and 200 horses.

Soule, Georgia State College of Agricul’ure Under the Smith-Lever bill and through co-operation with the United States Department of Agriculture, the State College of Agriculture has been able to add largely to its field force In Georgia this year. Two men have been assigned to tick free territory to assist farmers in beef production by solving the problems of breeding, feeding and marketing. One new man has been obtained to devote his entire time to promote co operative enterprises In stock breed ing in various lines and to assist in individual initiative to the same end, devoting himself especially to tick in fested territory. An addition has been made to the force in field dairy work to meet the rapidly increasing demands for serv ice In tills line in Georgia, giving practically the entire time of two men in the field. The work in hog chol era prevention and eradication is to be promoted by a new field worker, an experienced veterinarian, who wifi demonstrate the use of serum and ed ucate the farmers as to its advan tages. In helping to solve the poultry been employed to give his entire time, been employed to give his entir time to extension-demonstration work in Dormant Spraying Os Fruit Trees T. H. McHatton, Professor of Horti culture, Georgia State College of Agriculture. The apple and peach orchards of Georgia are very generally infested with San Jose scale and should be sprayed thoroughly with lime-sulphur solution some time during the fall ana winter. This application should have what Is called the ‘‘dormant strength.” Where the infestation is marked two applications should be made. If not infested it is worth while to spray the trees once to cleanse them and prevent attacks. To make lime-sulphur solution; take 40 lbs. unslaked lime, 80 lbs. sul phur, 50 gallons of water. Slake the lime and mix with the sulphur, and put the mixture in the 50 gallons of water and boil 50 to 60 minutes. To make ready for application as a spray, dilute with water according to the degree beaunie shown. If the mixture shows 85 degrees beaume 9 gallons of water can be added for San lose scale spray. iTiwtwa"4^ii«i:3iMgaMg^TM»aßrrmrmill m if 'hub ii hi Scrubs Fatten Quickly l You want your pigs to eat as much as possible F 1 !' when you fatten them.

With the crying necessity for diver sification of crops at this time, it is gratifying to be able to announce that co-operative arrangements have been made with the United States Bureau of Agriculture whereby the College greatly adds to its already important w r ork in cereal development in the state, and is able to enter extensive lines of testing varieties, in plant breeding for Georgia conditions, and in developing disease resisting varie ties, the work to be conducted in va rious portions of the state and on dif ferent types of soil.

For the past four years gram drills have been in comparison with -the open furrow in reeding winte; oats. Oats have been put in befor. October 15. Later seeding would probably give preference to the open furrough. Tests so far have given slightly larger yields Where drill was used The drill does the work faster and i more economical on larger areas enabling the sower to finish seeding while conditions are favorable.
