THE TRAINED FARMER.
The State College of Agriculture at Athens
has been compiling some important discoveries. A
survey of 1,271 farms was made,, and this is what
they found:
The average net earning of the farmer without
education at all is $240 a year.
The net earning power of the man with a com
mon school education is $565.50 a year.
The man with a high school education earns
net $684.50 a year.
The farmer who has taken a short course in
agriculture earns net the sum of $895 a year.
The highest average is made by the mon who
completes an agricultural course which is $1,254 a
year.
In other words, the educated man makes over
five times as much net each year as does the man
with no education.
Out of every four persons in Georgia, three are
employed on the farms. Georgia is only equaled
two other states in the union in rural popula
tion. These are Texas and Pennsylvania.
The last census showed there were 2,167,973
teople living on the farms in Georgia against 727,-
59 in the cities. That is still further argument
for agricultural education in Georgia.

and Sallie Mell are still faithful to the profession, the for
mer holding an important professorship in the State Nor
r mal College at Denton, Texas, while the latter, after serv
ice in the public schools at Forsyth and Griffin, is now
• working for her master’s degree at Teachers College, N.
' Y- Janie won this degree at the same college several
’ years ago. Besides these five lovely girls, there were two
manly boys, Jim and Ivy. Ivy, the youngest child, grad
. uated at Clemson College, S. C., and taught agriculture in
I the schools at Greer, S. C. Jim is still pursuing his stud
ies at the Georgia Tech, while also acting as military in
’ structor in the institution. Probably no young man is
better known or more popular in the capitol city than Jim
, Duggan. Both boys volunteered early for service in the
late world war, one serving in the infantry and the other
in the aviation. Resides the immediate family of Prof
Duggan, there were others members of the Duggan family
well known as Georgia educators. Probably no family in
the state has altogether touched the lives in the relation
ship of teacher and pupil of so many people as the Dug
gan family.—Sparta Ishmaelite.

LOYALTY TO THE HOME TOWN.
Are you loyal to your home town? Have you
that warm and generous sentiment that inspires a
willingness to co-opcratc in all public enterprises
and improvements r is there in this community
an affection for the home town that binds the peo
ple together for common interest? if there is not.
something is lacking, and that something is public
spirit. ■
it is the duty of our people to stand together
in a business way and keep their money circulating
at home. ,
it is better to depend upon each other, neip
each other, and spend our money among our neigh
bors and friends.
Every dollar sent away reduces our community
wealth. It is a drain upon the commercial inter
ests of the town and reduces our purchasing power.
As long as every man anil woman in this com
munity have dollars in their pockets the business
of the community is good, but let those dollars be
sent to some other city, and all are at once poor-
We have lost our circulating medium, our good fel
lowship and our community interest.
Co-operation made us happy and in easy cir
cumstances, but when we went out of the circle to
gi t what we should have got at home, the wheels
turn less briskly. Sending money out of town is
like throwing a monkey wrench into the generator
—it upsets the whole system of community busi
ness. ,
There is another side to this matter, and one
that should be studied carefully. The citizens of
the community owe much to the merchants and
‘business men of every kind in their community.
'They have cheerfully paid their taxes for the sup
port' of the schools' they have contributed to the
churches, the Sunday schools, and every public en
terprise, they have paid in taxes for the improve
ment of the streets, sidewalks and every other pub
lic utility, and if they prosper they will keep on do
ing so; but the merchant in some other city, who
has received our money for something vve could
have purchased at home, will never contribute one
cent to our community interest nor help us in the
development of our public utilities.
Therefore, let tts all be loyal to our town, and
in a brotherly way take genuine pride in support
ing our home institutions. —Covington News.

The people of Kchols county are staging an
incipient revolution against the cattle dipping law,
a number of vats having been dynamited and some
of the. people declaring thet are through with clip
ping. The federal government has a terrible weap
on to use against any county that refuses to do its
part in stamping out the cattle tick. By quaratt
ining the county and cutting off the outside market
the cattle raisers of Kchols county would face a
great loss. The work of ridding a county of the
, cattle tick is irksome and expensive, but it is an
r investment that pays any county a big dividend.

destroying the clods
IN CLAY SOILS
The formation of clods in a soil de
pends upon several factors. Fine
textured soils are the ones that give
most trouble in this respect, but not
all fine-textured soils are subject to
the trouble. The shape of the many
soil particles has a great deail of in
fluence, and in the absence of unde
eomposed organic or vegetable matter
clods are more lfikely to be found,
when the lane. 1 is plowed too wet or
too dry. Soils which clod easily are
those which contain a large amount
of colloidal or gelatanous matter.
In material which ’is so finely div
ided that it has a relatively large
surface compared to its volume, a
condition will be reached 1 where these
minute particles will not settle out
from a liquid on standing, but will
remain suspended. This is called the
“colloidal” condition. In clay soils
a large amount of this fine material
1s present and when such soils are
worked too wet the particles are press
ed together and on drying, clods are
formed. On the other hand, when
such soils are plowed too dry they
break up into instead of fine crumbs.
When a day soil is in “good” con
dition the fine particles are grouped
together and form grains. The par
ticles are then said to be in “flocculat
ed” condition. By untimely mechan
ical treatment, as already mentioned,
or by the chemical! action of certain
materials these coarse particles may
be broken up 'into the finer ones, and
clods can then be formed from this
finely divided' material. This “de
flocculation” is brought about, for
instance, by sodium carbonate. Since
sodium carbonate is formed by the
weathering of nitra-te of soda in th 1
soli it follows that the continued use
of this fertilizer on clay soils, where
the fine particles already exist, will
increase the tendency to “o od.”
In some soils the clods are harder
than in others, due to differences in
lime content, organic matter, etc. It
has been found that one per cent
charcoals in soil reduces the hard
ness or clods 36 per cent and one per
cent of lime in the soil reduces the
hardness more than 70 per cent.
Weathering destroys the o'oils and
so fall or winter plowing and even
early spring plowing, helps to over
come the condition. Improvement is
also obtained when the organic matter
i content is increased', and for this rea
son the use of catch crops Is advis
i able. In fertilizing soils which have
a tendency to clod it shou'd be rem
embered that the effect of nitrate of
soda is to intensify the condition.
While in some cases liming may over
come it.

The Clerk
The clerk of today is quite often the prosperous
merchant of tomorrow. His training is fitting him
for the job.
Only one thing stands in the way when the op
portunity for advancement comes, and that is usu
ally the matter of ready money. If he has that he
steps forward, otherwise he remains a clerk. A
good plan is to open a savings account at our bank,
no matter how small, and keep adding to it little
by little. Then when the chance comes to go into
business for yourself you will have something to
base credit upon.
