In quite a large part of the state the boll weevil has at last appeared and promises to enforce agricultural changes within a year or two, if the farmer is not wise enough to make the changes at once. What shall be the farm program of those dwelling in boll weevil terri tory? What shall be the farm program outside of the boll weevil territory, in facing tlie cotton prospects? These are important questions. They should be answered only after the fullest in formation possible is obtained. A thousand other perplexing questions arise in the minds of progressive farm ers who are trying to adjust them selves intelligently to changing agri cultural conditions. Nowhere can the farmer receive so much assistance in so short a time to meet his particular requirements as in attending a Short Course of a College of Agriculture. The funda mental principles on which the farm er can base his reasoning in meeting his problems, is provided at such courses. Inquiry brings from experts the accumulated experience of the world about the very problems on which the farmer may want informa tion and prove the very thing to put him on the highway of success. He can learn how to curtail his expenditures for fertilizers and yet get the greatest possible crops. He can learn how to determine the best reproducing seeds according to the latest and best infor mation. He can learn how to utilize Critical Period In Cattle Feeding M. P. Jarnagin, Professor Os Animal Husbandry, Georgia State Col lege Os Agriculture There is such a thing as a cow losing more money living than dic ing. Such a situation is likely to be confronted when the pasture is cut short by drouth or early winter, and the animals are not given a chance to hold their gains. Supplemental feeding should begin as soon as the animal stops making satisfactory gains on the pasture. At the College farm feeding in the pas ture begins about November 1, at which time shocked corn stalks, with Grain Farmer Prospers. Among the younger farmers of Dickenson county, Va., none have proved more of a success than Wiley B. Trivitt. He began farming on his own account in 1908, and not a year since that he did not have grain, hay and fodder to sell. Corn is his prin cipal crop, though he grows oats, millet, hay, potatoes, beans and garden truck. He keeps live stock, horses, cattle and hogs, and handles as many cattle as any farmer in the county. He has a natural aptitude for grow ing crops, and while others com plain of bad seasons he keeps steadily on the job. never grum bling at adverse weather condi tions. And he almost invariably comes out to the good.—South ern Farming. overland! ! i 5-Passenger Touring, $750 j ; Roadster, $725 \ (F. O. B.

At the Short Course he can leant how to distinguish vari ous types of soils in the state and know something of their value for ag ricultural purposes. Each year the problem of farm labor becomes greater and l'arnt machinery more necessary. To get a look at all the leading kinds and to have information from experts at the Short Course is very important. No matter how long cotton is grown there is something new to be learned about it. Pure seed and how to get them, what varieties produce best, what methods of cultivation have proven best, what diseases and in sects are to be combatted and how and what a farmer should know about cotton grading are all touched upon in the Colton School of the Short Course. No farm can be operated economi cally without growing a required amount of livestock. What that amount should be depends upon the size and kind of farming undertaken. Feeds and breeds, how to judge stock, how to succeed with swine, dairying and kindred subjects discussed at Un- Short Course should interest every farmer in the state. A course in horticulture is offered touching trucking, orchard manage ment, diseases of fruit, insects ol fruit, spraying and pruning. The Short Course at the Georgia State College of Agriculture will be held January 4-15, 11)15, for which spe cial railroad rates have been author ized. ears removed, are scattered about on the thin places of the pasture. By the ! middle of November cottonseed meal at the rate of about a pound per calf is put in troughs In the field. By December 1 they go into the barn. A daily allowance of 2\k to 3% pounds of cottonseed meal, a little wheat bran, 15 to 20 pounds of silage and 4 to G pounds of hay, is then fed to the calves. The breeding herd is carried on 2 pounds of cottonseed meal, 25 to 8 pounds of silage and G to 8 pounds of oat straw. On this ration they go through the winter in vigorous condi tion for calving a month or 6 weeks before being turned out to grazing. To let the cheap summer gains he lost by poor fall and winter feeding is the best way to lose money on heel 1 cattle. President and Mrs. Galt To Marry December 18 Washington, I).
