OCTOBER OATS
YIELD THE BEST
Should be Sown in October
But Do Well Here
Sown in Nov.
The College of Agriculture, in
co-operation with the office of
Cereal Investigation of the Uni
ted States Bureau of Agriculture
is conducting a number of ex
periments as to time and manner
of seeding, preparation of seed
bed and comparative tests of va
rieties of oats.
Oats seeded at the College in
plats in October yielded from 10
to 20 bushels more per acre than
when planted November, 1, in
dicating thati for North Georgia
oats should be seeded in October.
In South Georgia, however, oats
do well when sown as late as No
vember 15.
Where oats follow corn that
has been cut and shocked, dou
ble-discing the soil with a disc
harrow and putting in the seed
with a grain drill has given
slightly better results than plow
ing the land and then seeding.
The cost of discing is about only
one-half that of plowing.
Oats following cotton can be
sown about October 15 between
cotton rows. The cotton stalks
can be broken down with a stalk
cutter about February 1.
Seeding with a drill has been
found to give much higher yields
than when sown broadcast and
slightly better, yields when
sown by the open furrough meth
od.
The Red Rustproof group of
oats, such as Appier, Texas Rust
Proof, Bancroft and Hundred
Bushel, has given excellent re
sults. The Fulghum is an ex
cellent oat maturing from one to
two weeks earlier than the Red
Rust Proof group. Its yield has
been about 8 bushels less than
Appier during four years’ test at
the College plats. In south
Georgia, however, it does quite
as well as any variety with the
advantage of earliness.—Ross R.
Childs, Agronomist, Georgia

Sweet Potato Acreage
Has Been Doubled.
Waycross, Oct. 15.—According
to a statement issued today by
W. W. Croxton, general passen
ger agent of the Atlanta, Bir
mingham and Atlantic, there
has been planted in the territory
tributary to the A. B. &. A. in
Georgia and Alabama this year
probably twice the acreage in
sweet potatoes as in any previous
year. Owing to the increased
production and the danger of
loss from faulty packing or pre
paration for shipment, growers
are being warned that some im
proved method be followed as a
"safeguard against such losses.
Germans in France,
Lost 20,000 Daily.
Paris, Oct. 14. German counter
attacks in Champagne and in the
Artois District are being made
without regard to the loss of life
which they entail, according to
the military expert of The Echo
de Paris.
He estimates the German cas
ualties, killed and wounded, at
20,000 to 30,000 a day since they
began their unsuccessful efforts
to regain the ground taken by
the French and the British forces
in their common offensive.
Arrested For Aiding
3 Slayers to Escape.
Dublin, Oct. 15.—Mark Welch,
a young white man has been
brought back to Dublin from
Macon, where he was arrested at
the instance of Sheriff Watson
here, charged with aiding three
negroes under sentence of death
to escape from the Laurens Coun
ty jail several years ago. They
are still at large.
A man named Eubanks is also
in jail here charged with com
pl.city in the jail delivery.
SOME BENEFITS OF
SMITH-LEVER FUNDS
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College Os Agriculture
In that section of south Georgia
where the boll weevil has so unex
pectedly appeared, there is much worh
to be done to lead cotton farmers into
raising other crops and lo instruct
them in the best methods of cotton
production under those conditions. It
is therefore, very gratifying to the
farmers and business men of that sec
tion to find that just such service is
provided through the Smith-Lever
funds. With these funds experts can
be employed lo go among the farmers
and render the very practical help
that is needed. The foresighted fann
ei knows by this time what he may
expect from the boll weevil. This type
of farmer is, therefore, ready to he
advised. The backward and unpro
gressive farmer will not believe that
the boll weevil will harm hint until
the harm is done, but eventually he
will be very willing to receive advice
as to what he must do.
Smith-Lever funds have been in ■ .ar
mental in saving hundreds of aou
sands of dollars' worth of hog iuring
the past year, through the demonstra
tion agents inducing the farmers to
use cholera serum and by the agents
themselves applying it. The agents,
of course, are supported in part by
Smith-Lever funds.
All that the county demonstration
agents have done to advance farming
in Georgia, all that they have saved
the farmer not only with cholera se
rum, but by spraying for the destruc
tion of insect and fungous pests and
cattle tick eradication; all that they
have saved in regard to the use of
fertilizers; the better crops they have
demonstrated can be made by improv
ed methods of cultivation; the improv
ed and labor saving machinery they
have been instrumental in introducing;
the pure-bred animals they have
brought into the state; the cereal
crops they have led the farmers lo
cultivate, the legumes, the fruits, the
truck —all the millions of dollars they
have saved or created is only a very
small iota of what the state pays for
it through the Smith-Lever funds.
In addition there are the boys’ corn
clubs, the girls' canning clubs, the pig
clubs, poultry clubs, four-crop clubs,
the domestic science work.
Besides there are the field experts
that travel from the College doing
work in demonstrating in cereals, fer
tilizers and methods of cultivation on
various soil types; experts also in
beef production, dairying and hog
cholera control.
For every dollar that the state puts
up for projects of the Smith-Lever
funds, it gets another dollar from
the United States treasury, In
amount s that increase gradualy till the
full limit is reached. None of the
money can be used for teaching pur
poses. It must bo spent out among
the farmers. It is, therefore, the
farmers’ money.
Can The Surplus of
Sweet Potato Crop
Andrew M. Soule. Pres. Georgia State
College Os Agriculture
The canning of sweet potatoes is a
matter of great importance, and on
this account considerable attention
has been directed to this problem by
the Georgia State College of Agricul
ture. Two years ago an instructor was
appointed in the Department of Hor
ticulture in the person of Prof. K. B.
Blackburn. In addition to his teaching
work, he undertook investigations
with the canning of sweet potatoes In
the hope of discovering a cheap and
desirable method of preserving them.
It is important to remember that the
potato should not be allowed to cool
from start to finish of the processing.
The experiments indicate that sweet
potatoes may be canned successfully
in quite a number of different ways.
Among those which have given the
greatest degree of satisfaction are,
first, the direct, open process which
requires about five hours; second, the
intermittent open process which takes
one hour a day for three days in suc
cession; third, the use of steam at a
pressure of five pounds and requiring
two hours to complete the work;
fourth, steam under ten pounds pres
sure and requiring about seventy-five
minutes; and fifth, steam under fif
teen pounds pressure and requiring
about fifty minutes to complete the
work.
The first two methods would, of
course, be better adapted for use in
the farm home than the latter three.
It was found after many trials that
sugar syrup is of little value in the
canning of sweet, potatoes. In other
words, it is best to pack them dry
It Is advised in conclusion that
-team be used in the canning of sweet
potatoes even in the home. A small
tanner will cost about sls. The pota
toes may be successfully peeled by
hand if cooked for forty-five minutes.
They should be packed while hot and
the cans sealed. Tin is preferable to
glass for sweet potatoes. The pro
cessing should be done under ten
pounds pressure continued for seven
•y-five minutes. The cans should be
cooled by filling the retort with cold
water before the cans have a chance
tc air-cool, or just as soon as the pro
of ssing period is over, and the steam
can then be allowed to escape from
the retort.
