I-et The Boy Raise A Pure Bred Pig Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture. Why not let the boy join the pig club movement? Any boy between the ages of 10 and IS may join. Aside from the interest the boy will take in raising the pig, the influence of proprietorship and value of the con structive work upon his young life, he will find a good deal of financial encouragement. He may obtain a scholarship to the short course given for boys and girls prize winners, at the State College of Agriculture, where he will get an outlook and in spiration that may mean great things for him. The prizes he may win at the coun ty and state fairs will not only amount to a considerable sum, but the repu tation gained for the animal, if a breeding animal is being used, will make possible fancy prices for the lit ters. In fact, the boy may get his start in life as the result of joining the pig club. To join a pig club and carry out its provisions means that he must keep Protecting Orchards Against Light Frosts T. H. McHatton, P-ofessor Os horti culture, Georgia State College Os Agriculture An orchard can be protected against light frosts by the smudging method. For this purpose there are smudge pots or orchard heaters on the market. Should these seem too expensive, a good substitute i 3 afford ed by making smudge fires of wet grass, straw, old leaves, prunings, etc. About 100 small piles can be placed to an acre, most of them be ing put on the side from which the wind is blowing. The purpose, of course, is to keep the smoke over the orchard. It is important that the smudge fires be used early In the morning before the sun comes up to prevent too rapid thawing out of froz en flowers. As a rule, when the temperature is 33 degrees, and it looks as if the tem perature is going lower, start the smudge fires. It can not be expect ed that this method will save from severe freezes, bui it can be used oc casionally with great profit.. Senator Bacon Eujogized By House Members. Washington, D. C., Feb. 21. j Eulogies were delivered in the House today on the late Senator Bacon of Georgia. Representative: Adamson portrayed the great ness of the position Senator Ba con held in public life. Represen tative Park reviewed the sena-; tor’s achievements and said he was one of the potential figures in American history and one of the great constitutional authori ties of congressXand conspicuous in moulding American foreign re- Representative Hughes ! eulogized Senator Bacon’s char acter and personality as well as his public record.

King, aged 60 years, was in stantly killed at 1:40 o’clock this afternoon when struck by the fast Ohio-Florida Special on the Southern Railway, at Bullard’s station, a few miles below Macon. Mrs. King walked out from be hind an old tool house, stepping directly in front of the train. En gineer A. H. Robinson not hav ing time to stop his train before it struck her. The body was badly mangled. Mrs. King was the mother of W. A. King, an extra section foreman. Hand Cut Off at Mill. Scotland, Ga., Feb. 20. —John Kearce, Jr., who lives not far from here, happened to a very painful accident yesterday, wiien in some unaccountable way he got his hand mangled in the ma chinery of A. C. Giilis’ saw mill, where he was working. He was immediately brought to this place, where a part of his hand was removed by an opera tion, performed by lirs. J. W. Neal and F. P. Harbin. records of feed, gains in weight, costs of gains and thus begin to learn that successful farming must be done in a business-like way. The organization of a pig club is simple. The school teacher will take the matter of organizing in hand, cir culars of instruction can be obtained from the State College of Agriculture, ! the club can be enrolled and names ! sent to headquarters at the College. I Information about how to feed, what ! crops to plant, what kind of pig to buy, etc, can be obtained from the I expert in charge whose headquarters in Georgia are at the College of Aferl i culture at Athens. In fact, everything is made easy for the pig club boy. He will be expected to exhibit at the fairs and carry liis work through in good shape. The boys are showing what they can do in raising corn. Along with it, let the boys show how they can make the best use of corn by feeding It to pigs. Boy’s Profit On Three teres, $285.49 J. Phil Campbell, State Agent In Charge of Club Work, Col lege Os Agriculture Maurice Crowder, of Walker coun ty, a corn club boy, has demonstrated that he can make a profit of $285.49 on three acres in one season. His crops were corn, cotton, oats and soy beans. On the acre devoted to corn he raised 116.0 bushels at a profit of $75.30. His cotton acre produced 2,- 240 pounds of cotton, from which he made a profit of $30.89. The acre de voted to oats produced 131 1-4 bushels at a profit of $87.90. After the oats had been gathered, the land was disc ed and sown to soy beans. From this crop he gathered 10,614 pounds of dry hay at a profit of $85.41. The total profit from tl\e four crops on three acres was therefore $285.49. Soy beans, it will be seen, brought greater returns than any other crop. This crop and Hie oats preceding made a total profit from one acre $168.31. Thus it will be seen that the corn club boys are capable of growing other crops and a larger acre nge and make a success. I Valued His Leg at Forty Thousand Dollars. Forty thousand dollars is asked by B. D. Lee in a suit against the i central of Georgia Railway which is on trial in the City Court. The jury will be charged and the case given to it this morning. Arguments were completed yes terday. Lee was employed by the rail -1 way company as flagman when he was caught between two i freight cars on Sept. 27, 1913, and his right foot so badly crush ed the leg had to be amputated 1 between the ankle and the knee. He blames Engineer Frnk O’Don nell for the accident, saying he had not given the signal to back. —Savannah News. Proof of the Pudding. A small one room grocery store in Claxton has done over eight thousand dollars worth of cash business in just three months, and no credit business. The pro prietor of this grocery is always all smiles arid saying how good times are, while his brother gro cerymen stand around with lower lips hanging almost to the ground and grumble bow rotten business is and cuss everything from the condition o*" the weather to the European spat. We might also j casually mention that this new | grocery has carried from one fourth to one-half page of adver tising in the Enterprise since it I first opened its doors to the pub lic. But of course that has noth ing to do with the success of the store! Ask the proprietor of the store and find out what he thinks of advertising in the local paper. —Claxton Enterprise. Sheriff Sale.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, FEB 25 1015 1 Cotton Does not Average In Value with Grains. “Traders have figured that at the relative prices now pre-. vailing, wheat equals cotton at 17 cents, corn equals cot ton at 15 cents, and oats * equal cotton at 18 cents, A blind man can see that the prices are a bounty on grain crops, and an embargo on the next cotton crop.” This observation by the New York Times is borne out by agri cultural reports in every part of the South. Georgia planted one hundred and seventy thousand more acres of wheat apd three hundred and twenty-eight thou sand more acres of oats last au tumn than in the same season of 1913, an increase of one hundred and eighteen per cent, in wheat and ninety-six per cent, in oats. The cotton-growing states com bined planted more than seven million acres of wheat last au tumn, a gain of nearly two mil lion acres over the preeding year, and increased their acreage of oats one hundred and two per cent. Watchful farmers need no urg ing to realize the advantage in producing foodstuffs or the peril raising another big crop of cot ton; and indifferent farmers, who may he disposed to endanger their own and the community’s interests, will find the sources of credit shut against them. All the foresight and energy at the South’s command is directed to the supremely important end of curtailing the acreage of cot ton and increasing the output of food products. In that fact lies the surest pledge of Southern prosperity. —Atlanta Journal. Discuss Potash Problem. New York, Feb. 20.—Prospects of a great scarcity of potash in the United States because of the embargo recently placed in its exportation by Germany was the principal subject of discussion here yesterday at the annual meeting of the American Insti tute of Mining Engineers. Charles H. McDowell, presi dent of the Armour Fertilizer Company of Chicago, said ferti lizer and chemical manufacturers have enough potash on hand to last through the spring on a re stricted basis, hut should the war continue through next sum mer the situation would become acute. “As She is Spoke.” Wilton Lackaye, the player, is a stickler for correct English on and off the stage, and he nev er loses an opportunity to put the erring on the right, path in this respect, says Lippincott’s Magazine. One afternoon Mr. Lackaye walked into a New York drug store and stated to a clerk his need—a man’s comb. “Do you want a narrow man’s comb?” was the inquiry address ed to him. “No.” said Mr. Lackaye, with the utmost gravity. “What I de sire is a comb for a stout man with rubber teeth.” T.
