By Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture.
Many imoplo of Georgia-do not un
derstand how various agricultural
agencies of the state are related lu
the State College of Agriculture and,
therefore, full to appreciate the effect
iveness of. the organisation which has
been perfected.
Georgia State College of Agriculture
has been able, as la no other state, to
corelate and co-operate with the activi
ties of the United States Bureau of
Agriculture. Instead of friction
that uxlsls In some other stutes be
tween the stute and federal work, there
Is the completest harmony here. The
headquarters of practically all of the
agricultural forces of the federal gov
ernment for the state of Georgia are
at the State College of Agri
culture. An agreement has been mi
tered Into between the State College
of Agriculture and the vurlous -de
partments at Washington, by .which
(lie closest co-operation Is maintained,
Joint work Is undertaken and directed
! a nng agreed lines with an eltlclency
a id saving Impossible under any other
1 a rangement, with the same amount ol
I n oney and men.
The Georgia Slate College of Agrl-
ic ltttte lias, therefore, become the
s ate headquarters of all federal as
i v ill as state agricultural work. Tlie
11, ndquurters at the farm demonstra-
t in work of the hoys’ corn.club work,
t: a girls’ canning club work, the pig
■ c ill work, the crop rotation clubs are
a located at the College.
t Is easy to understand why It makes
! fc r efficiency to have the farm dem-
o strators assist In organising corn
c .ibs, canning clubs, pig clubs, etc.,
aid continually encourage and render
a;d. Of course, were all these agen
cies not directed from a central head
quarters at the College this mutual
co-operation of clubs would he Impos
sible.
OF
FOB CEREAL CROPS
John R. Fain, Professor of Agronomy,
Georgia State College of
Agriculture.
Do not make the mistake of putting
a dressing of nitrate of soda on too
late for the plant to muke the best use
of it. In the latitude of Athens, Ga„
It should be applied from March 1 to
In. In South Georgia It should be ap
plied from the middle of February to
the first of March, and for North Geor-
g a from the middle to the last of
March:
Applied at the times mentioned to
the cereul crops, the plants will make
the largest use of the fertilisers at a
time when most needed following the
winter, and will bring about larger
yields than when applied at any other
time. The custom which some follow
of putting the nitrate of sodu on Jusi
as the plant is maturing Is a mistake
and a great waste.
Au average of about fifty pounds of
nitrate of soda applied to cereals at
the right time will prove well worth
while on many of the soil types of the
state.
