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..

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 is asked
by B. D. Lee in a suit against the
i central of Georgia Railway which

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

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.

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.”
