Thursday Morning, Dec. 9, 1915. 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. Orianna. Special Correspondence. (Intended for last week.) Business has been good in Ori anna this fall. > Mr. J. D.

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. ANNOUNCEMENTS. For Sheriff: At the earnest solicitation of many of j my friends.
