Atlanta. Oct. 16. Colonels and
aides-de-camp on the personal
staffs of the several governors of
the United States are not a part
of the state national guard or
ganizations and are barred from
wearing the uniforms or any part
of the uniforms of the United
States army, navy or marine
corps, according to dispatches
received in Atlanta today from
Washington telling of a recent
ruling of the war department.
In the office of Adjutant General
Van Holt Nash, it was stated the
communication from Washington
was in the hands of Governor
Harris and any information con
cerning the ruling would have to
come from the executive offices.
Newspaper men, however, were
denied audience by the governor,
who sent word to them, through
Private Secretary F. R. Jones,
that he would no longer receive
i representatives of the press in
their official capacity. The de
cision, Mr. Jones said, was gen
eral.
Mills Work Overtime.
Columbus, Ga.. October 17.
The prosperous state of the
hoisery industry and allied lines
in the United States is well illus
trated by conditions in Columbus.
Hoisery mills here are running
both day and night and it is re
ported they are considerably be
hind with orders. The bulk of
their product is being sold in the
United States, but it is understood
that a considerable proportion of
it is now going abroad.
There is a tremendous demand
for yarn, and Columbus yarn
manufacturers can now pick their
customers. Yarn is being ship
ped from Columbus to the north
and particularly to Pennsylvania,
where there are innumerable
plants manufacturing hosiery,
sweaters and similar classes of
goods, for which there is now an
immense demand.
One mill here is shipping a con
siderable amount of yarn to Eu
rope. This yarn is prepared in a
special way for its long trip by
land and sea, being packed in
special boxes, which are thor
oughly waterproofed.
As usual, the ticket for the
November election will be long
enough to use from a reel. i
THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, OCT 19, 1916.
Ladies’ Quartet Will
Entertain on 27th.
The Fairchild Ladies Quartet
will appear at the Brewton-Par
ker on the evening of the 27th,
being the first number of the
Redpath lyceum course which has
again been secured for this sea-
Ison. This, as other numbers to
appear, will be a high-class en
tertainment, and deserves a full
house. The Monitor again com
mends the lyceum as a most
wholesome form of amusement,
not to be compared with the com
monplace.
For the coming attraction an
admission price of 25 and 50 cents
will be charged. It is well worth
the price, judging this by last
season’s attraction. The talent
employed by the Redpath is from
the best on the public rostrum,
and those who attend the Fair
child quartet cannot be disap
pointed. In another column will
be found a more extended refer
ence to the personnel of the per
formers.
Oil Co. Wants 10,000
Tons of Georgia Peanuts.
Bainbridge, Ga., October 15. —
The Empire Cotton Oil company,
of this city, has decided to add
peanut crushing to its line, and
has announced that it is in the
market for 10,000 tons of peanuts.
Manager Carter is doing all in
his power to encourage Decatur
county farmers to grow peanuts
another year, assuring them of a
ready cash market at all times
for their products. The first
crushing made this week was
from peanuts shipped from Ala
bama. Mr. Carter argues that
his mills here and at Blakely will
take care of more peanuts than
this section can possibly grow,
and there is no danger of an
overproduction.
Prices paid this week were
around 90 cents per bushel, and,
with lands here capable of pro
ducing from 50 to 80 bushels to
the acre, there is no reason
why peanuts should not be a very
profitable crop.
Satsuma Orange Is
Assured for Glynn.
Brunswick, Oct. 14. —Follow
ing the return of the committee
of bankers and the county farm
demonstrator from an inspection
trip to the Mobile agricultural
district, and their report that this
section is admirably adapted to
the raising of the Satsuma orange,
it is now proposed to organize a
big corporation for the encourage
ment of the industry on a large
scale in Glynn County.

Wheat Growing In Ga.
Tests Made With Different Varieties
And Their Results.
ANDREW M. SOULE, President Qa.
State College Os Agriculture.
Realizing the importance of encour
aging the cultivation of winter wheat,
the College of Agriculture has been
\ conducting for several years past va
riety tests at Athens, Ashburn and
Quitman. It is certain that much re
i mains to be ascertained with refer
ence to the best method of cultivation
I and the proper rotation of crops. Os
course, the fertilizer side of the prob
lem also needs to be carefully inves
tigated. There is only one serious
drawback to the cultivation of wheat
In the Southeastern states, and" that Is
that while there Is an abundant rain
fall, it is often not well distributed,
hence the crop sometimes suffers from
drought when approaching maturity.
This difficulty can be overcome to a
considerable degree by the develop
ment, through selection, of early ma
turing strains and the management of
the land In such a manner as to in
crease Its supply of vegetable matter,
and thus enable it to absorb and hold
& greater amount of water.
Rust is among the most destructive
of the diseases to which this cereal
is subject. The success which has
been attained in developing rust proof
oats, however, leads to the belief that
through persistent efforts strains of
wheat as strongly resistant can also
be obtained.
Essentially the same method of man
agement were used at all of the places
Indicated, the soil being broken to a
good depth and a fine seed bed pre
pared. At all places the intention is
to practice a three-years’ rotation in
which cotton, com and small grain
is followed by cow peas. By this plan
small grain occupies the land only
once in three years, and as It follows
corn the ground Is generally In such
condition that a good seed bed can
be prepared. In this rotation the plan
Is to turn under the cow peas as green
manure, and-as far as possible, a cov
er crop of rye or hairy vetch is usually
seeded in the cotton as well as a soil
builder.
It is the plan to use 400 pounds of
acid phosphate and 100 pounds of mu
riate of potash per acre. In the spring
of the year 100 pounds of sulphate of
ammonia has been applied per acre.
The yield of some of the more im
portant varieties tested in Athens i*
recorded below. It appears that as a
result of two years’ work Deitz Amber
made an average yield of 28.7 bushels
per acre; Georgia Red, 28.3 bushels;
Fulcaster 27.4 bushels; Australian
Red, 27.1 bushels; Red May, 26.7
bushels; Itlue Stem, 26.6 bushels ;
Mammoth Red, 26.6 bushels; Fultz,
25.9 bushels; Klondike, 25.7 bushels;
Fishhead, 25.4 bushels, and Ilearded
Purple Straw, 24.3 bushels. These
must be regarded as good yields and
wherever they can be approximated
the cultivation of wheat as a winter
cover crop and the production of
grain for bread can be practiced to
advantage.
The yields obtained from some of
the leading varieties at Ashburn are
as follows: Blue Stem, 19.6 bushels;
Georgia Rod, 19.6 bushels; Red May,
18.3 bushels; Australian Red, 15.8
bushels; Deitz Amber, 14.9 bushels;
Fultz. 13.7 bushels; Fishhead, 13.3
bushels; Klondike, 12.1 bushels; Mam
moth Red, 11.7 bushels; Fulcaster, 11.7
bushels. These yields are not nearly
so good as those obtained on the cecil
clay typical of the T’ledniont area,
and yet a number of these varieties
could be grown to advantage on the
Tlfton sandy loam under seasonal and
soil conditions similar to those ob
taining at Ashburn with good advan
taga
The yields obtained at Quitman,
where this work has only been car
ried on one year, were not satisfac
tory, but it would not be fair to draw
any conclusion from a test covering
only one year. Blue Stem made the
highest yield of any varietey, namely
6.7 bushels. Cultivating wheat on this
basis would, of course, not be profit
able. Possibly when these soils are
improved and a better season experi
enced, the yields will be considerably
Increased. It is important to remem
ber that through selection and breed
ing it will more than likely be possi
ble to develop strains much better
adapted for cultivation in the south
ern part of the territory than now.
