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 State College of Agriculture. 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.
