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

Sending Experts Out To Farmers
To Co-Operate and Assist
Prea. Andrew M. 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.

Come, Dollar
the state, visiting farmers and poultry
plants to this end.
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.
Aside from these new enterprises,
the College will continue to promote
its former lines of work. The boys’
corn clubs will be used to promote
other crops, the girls’ clubs are to
take up other activities than canning,
poultry clubs will be organized more
extensively, the pig club work will be
enlarged, the farm demonstration
work will be conducted on a larger
scale, the soil surveys will be advanc
ed, the extension-demonstration work
in horticulture will be pushed, and as
far as possible the demands for farm
ers’ meetings and institutes will be
met.

ing file degrees of strength o the

DRILLS VERSUS OPEN FURROW
John R. Fain, Professor of Agronomy,
Georgia State College of Agriculture.
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.
