The little Ford may be a joke,
but it is today a most potent fac
tor in the history of peace move
ments looking to the settlement
of the European war. We know
of no other automobile manufac
turer putting: his surplus in a
more worthy movement, whether
effective or not. If Mr. Ford’s
mission to Europe is as successful
as his litttie auto is popular the
strutfttle will close irt a few weeks.
As chairman of the committee
on education, Conpresman 1). M.
Hughes of the Twelfth is at his
place in the new 64th Congress,
representing ably this district,
(igeorgia has received a full share
of the honors in the new session,
and her able representatives have
that full recognition not always
heretofore accorded them. Meas
uring up with the best of them,
Dudley M. Hughes can he coun
ted on to stand for the rights of
this section and the South.
With the European war cost
ing one of the allied powers
$1,000,000 an hour, an earlyclose
of the conflict can be imagined;
yet, there is nothing to substan
tiate this view according to re
ports from tbe battlefields. The
South lost heavily as a result of
the war, yet, compared to the
awful drain on the resources of
the allied powers (with which
we are in sympathy) our loss is
but a pittance, and not worthy
of consideration. Above all is
the appalling loss of human life.
The Montgomery county far
mer living within reach of the
points touched by the agricultu
ral train, and who fails to see
the exhibits and attend the lec
tures has missed an opportunity
of gaining information which he
cannot dig out of the ground.
Practice is good but it must be
backed up by correct theory.
The state and the railroads are
co-operating in methods calcu
lated to be of material benefit to
the farmer, and this splendid
movement should be appreciated.
See the train this morning.
Kennesaw Mountain Sold.
Marietta, Dec. 4.—An impor
tant real estate transfer took
place today, when W. J. M.
Haines, of Marietta, sold to par
ties here the celebrated Kennesaw
.. . i
mountain, so conspicious as a
battleground during the late war
between the states.
Kennesaw mountain, situated
in direct route of the Dixie high
way, was formerly owned by
William Barber, one of the origi
nal settlers of Cobb county. In
the late sixties he sold the moun
tain to H. C. Haines, father of
W. J. M. Haines. About 1878
11. C. 1 lames sold to his son. W.
J. M. Hamas, who has held the
property ever since.
Ninety acres, more or less, are
comprised in the transfer. The
consideration has not been made
public.
Big Fire in Douglas.
Douglas, Dec. 4. An early
morning fire in Douglas this
morning at 5:50 destroyed the
Corn barber shop on Peterson
avenue and the Sapp’s pharmacy
and the Boston store were both
damaged by water.
The loss of Corn’s barber shop
was $4,000 with $2,000 insurance:
the loss of the Boston store was
$5,000. partially covered by in
surance; the loss of Sapp’s phar
macy was perhaps *I,OOO. cover
ed by insurance. Moore’s Press
ing club in the rear of the barber
shop building was destroyed but
all the furniture and clothes
were gotten out and he suffered
but little loss. The fire was sup
posed to have been caused by de
fective wiring.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY DECEMBER 9. 1915.
CAMPAIGN FOR BETTER
LIVESTOCK IN GEORGIA
Andrew M. Soule, President, Georgia
State College Os Agriculture
Oil November 22, an exhibit of pure
bred livestock anti home grown food
stuffs was started from the Georgia
State College of Agriculture to travel
over the state, to make about 200
stops and reach a vast number of
farmers. In this campaign the Col
lege of Agriculture has been joined
by the United States Department ol
Agriculture and the Railroads having
lines in the state.
Announcements have been math
public of the exhibiting places. Those
who have yet the opportunity of vi.
King the exhibits and hearing the ex
perts on the subject of livestock rai:
ing in Georgia, should make sure of
using it.
The purebred and registered live
stock will consist of Jersey, Holstein
dairy cattle, short horn and Hereford
beef cattle, Percheron horses, duroc,
tamworlh and berkshire hogs. These
have been taken from the College
farm for this lour of the slate. They
are to tell their story of wiiat a pure
bred animal is. The speakers will tell
of the importance of introducing such
animals into the foundation of the
livestock industry of this slate. Lit
erature will be distributed which has
been put out especially for this cam
paign.
The home-grown food stuff exhibit
presents in striking and pointed way
what Georgia grows or can grow for
the feeding of livestock. This is a part
of the College exhibit at the State
Fair and has many important lessons
for the Georgia farmer.
Without growing more livestock
Georgia can make no permanent ad
vancement In agriculture. A certain
amount of livestock is necessary to the
economical operation of any system of
agriculture. No other means of con
serving soil fertility is comparable
with that of feeding farm crops and
returning manure to the land. Live
stock, however, can be unprofitable
when the wrong methods of feeding
are practiced or when high priced feed
is given to poor grade cattle. It is,
therefore, ver.y essential to get good
quality of stock and then know what
is the best home-grown ration.
To help farmers buy at low cost,
the College and its co-workers pro
pose to help the farmers buy pure
bred animals on a co-operative basis
assuring the lowest possible cost and
at the same time the best gtade of
animal for the money.
This campaign has as its end in
view the welfare of the farmer, noth
ing else. If you are in sympathy with
such a movement lend it your pres
ence anil encouragement, if possible.
Substituting Phosphate
Rock for Phosphoric Acid
John R. Fain, Professor Os Agronomy,
Georgia State College Os
Agriculture
On account of the high price of
phosphoric acid, dealers are pushing
rock phosphate as a substitute at this
time. The farmer must not be misled
into believing that the ground phos
phate rock will become immediately
available like the acid in the produc
tion of crops.
The rock phosphate will give better
results on the second crop than on
the first one, and, better still, on the
third than on the second. It is the
policy on the farm of tlie College of
Agriculture to apply the ground phos
phate rock every three years.
Rock phosphate will prove disap
pointing on many soils of this state
if it is not applied with barnyard ma
nure or with green cover crops turned
under. To get the best results front
ground phosphate rock, it is necessary
that the soil contain considerable or
ganic matter. In this respect, the
soils of Georgia are quite deficient,
hence the necessity of applying the
ground phosphate with barnyard ma
nure or green manures. The ground
rock can be scattered over the ma
nure as it accumulates each day, or if
green manuring is to be used, it can
be broadcasted on the field before the
crop is turned under.
Go After Apple
And Pear Cankers
T. H. McHatton. Professor Os Horti
culture, Georgia State Col
lege Os Agriculture
During the winter, go after the ap
pie and pear trees for blight cankers.
Cut out the cankered spots till heal
thy wood is reached. Make good
clean cuts with a sharp knife, then
paint the wood with a disinfectant
paint, or apply Bordeaux mixture.
These will prevent spores which may
have been left there, from developing
and bringing on next spring tbe
blight.
It has been demonstrated that the
blight winters over only in those can
kers and that the sweet exudation
of the cankers attract bees in the
spring, which, in turn, go to the flow
ers of the tree, carrying the spores,
thus spreading the blight over the
twigs of the trees.
One ton of mixed bay contains 960
pounds of digestible dry matter.
