The general presentments re turned by the grand jury of Mitchell county furnished the people over there something to talk about, says the Moultrie Ob server. “The body recommend ed the abolishment of the city court and the office of county treasurer and that the board of ccunty commissioners be reduced to three members. Action with 1 reference to the city court came as a surprise. It was known in advance that the grand jury would likely favor the abolish ment of the office of county treas urer and the cutting down of the members of the board of county commissioner?, but it was not be lieved that there was enough sentiment against the city court to put such a recommendation through the grand jury. Before the recommendations can be car ried through the support of Mitchell’s representatives will have to be secured.” Boy Burgalers Arrested Here. Two boys, who are said to have escaped from Jhe State Farm in Florida, were arrested here last Friday by Chief Horton and Bail iff Sadler. It seems that after their es cape from the Farm the boys went to Thomasville and burgal- rized a store, obtaining watches, knives, etc., which they had on their persons when arrested. Thomasville officers came over and got the boys Saturday. City Tax Books Open. The City tax books are now open.

What Kind Of Fertilizer Ought You To Use ? Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture Few more Important questions are confronting the farmers of Georgia than how to utilize fertilizers to the greatest advantage. In attempting to answer this question tests plats are being conducted in various parts of the state and on different typos of soil. Three years’ results have been obtained. In south Oeorgla eleven distinctive areas aro being usod and the data has reference to corn, cotton and oats. The work with each crop Is duplicated for accuracy of results. No fertilizer is used on the first plat. Murlato of potash has been ap plied on the second plat at the rate of 100 pounds per acre; acid phos phate on the third plat at tho rate of 400 pounds per acre; nitrogen derived from dried blood and applied at tho rate of 180 pounds per acre on the fourth plat; the fifth plat was fertiliz ed with phosphoric acid and potash; tho sixth plat with, nitrogen and pot ash; the seventh plat with nitrogen and phosphoric acid; the eighth plat with nitrogen, phosphoric acid; and potash, making a com pleter fertilizer ; the \ ninth plat with rock phosphate at the rate of 3.0P0 pounds per acre, and tho tenth plat with rock phosphate and potash. Observe that tho complete fertilizer consisted of 100 pounds of muriate of potash, 400 pounds of acid phosphate and 180 pounds of dried blood, making in all a gross application of 680 pounds per aero. Comparatively little benefit has been obtained from the use of potash alone. Phosphoric acid alone has been uncertain in Its performance and used independently would not have paid a profit on tile application. Ni trogen alone has also been erratlo, though It .gave bettor results on corn, oats and cotton than any other single application, and would in most In stances have more than paid for Itself. When phosphoric acid and potash were combined belter results were ob tained thnn where they were used separately. An Increase of ns much as 159 pounds of cotton per acre re sulted from this combination. When nitrogen and potash were used to gether a' more distinctive Increase was shown thnn with any other combina tion usod up to tills time. Whore a completo fertilizer was used no better results were obt allied With corn I hap with nitrogen and phosphoric acid. Cotton, however, showed some Increase from the appli cation of tills fertilizer, amounting ns an average for all south Georgia to 303 pounds of seed cotton per acre, and on Tifton sandy loam 264 pounds per acre. The yield of oats wns In creased from tho use of a completer fertilizer on all the tost arena in south Georgia by 7.22 bushels per acre, and on Tifton sandy loam by 13 bushels per acre. These results would indiento that ni trogen and phosphorus In the quantl ties mentioned can bo used with prof it on corn, cotton and oats On the soil types In question, and also that s complete fertilizer can he used with advantage. Comparatively little benefit was ob tained from the use. of rock phos phate or floats with any of tho crops mentioned. This la just what we might naturally anticipate, for It has been pointed, out repeatedty that rock phosphate will only prove bene Octal when applied to soils contain lng a large amount of vegetable mat ter. T. 'H. McHatton, Professor Horticul ture, Ga. State College Of'Agr.. A large orchardlst In northeastern Georgia recently stated that he had sprayed an orchard of 210 acres aitd had killed 98 per cent of the San Joho scale, the cost being $342.86, or. $1.63 per acre. He followed direc tions' of the Horticultural Department of the Georgia State College of Agri culture, and'made his own spray ma terial , at a cost of 4 cents a gallon. The best price li6 could: obtain, ac cording to hla statement, from com mercial concerns was 17. cents per gallon. , This orchardlst, therefore,, gives the College credit foe saving him on this one spraying $SD6.32. Blister Beetles T. H. McHatton, Professor of Hortleul ture, Ga. State College Of Agr. From several sources have come re ports of serious Injury done flowers young fruit and buds of peach and oth er trees. As a rule these beetle! are not a Berlous ‘pest. When they appear In large numbers they will do material damage, however. The blister beetle Is about one-lialr an inch long with -metalic-green hack. Arsenate of load will help control the pest. If -only .a few trees are to be-1 protected, give each tree a vigor ous shaklhg oarly every morning. This will dislodge the beetle, which can-- be picked up and destroyed by put ting into kerosene oil. PLANTING FOR HOME SUPPLIES Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture. A garden • in Georgia can be made to provide from one to live kinds of vegetables for table use for every day In the year. The surplus of almost all of these ..crops can be dried or canned for winter use. Thus the cost of feeding Sthe family can be greatly lessened and a much greater variety given In the dietary. Tho farmer should next direct Ills at tention to providing such food as is necessary fur the maintenance, first of hla work stock, then of his cows and such other cattle beasts as he may maintain, and for his hogs and poul try. Two ideas should be kept in mind in planting areas for these pur poses. First, provision should bo made for an ‘abundance of hay and green feed and for a suttablo amount of supplemental grain. The wide awake farmer who planted cereals last fall will have enough oats and other grain to supplement the corn he may produce this summer. It is de sirable that each head^of work stock bo provided with" 100 bushels of corn or Its equivalent. If fifty bushels of oafs have been grown for each head of. live stock, then only fifty bushels of corn would -be required. Figuring the corn to yield on the basis of twen ty-eight bushels to the acre, 2 1-2 to 5 acres of corn Bhould be grown for each head of live stock. Remember that the cornstalks if harvested will provide good food for both horses and cattle. As- to hay, that from cowpeas, cow- peas and millet or cowpeas and sor ghum cannot be excelled under aver age conditions prevailing In Georgia. Of course, excellent hay can bo made from cutting oats In the dough stage. For cows an abundance of clean roughage should bo provided. Corn stalks, sorghum fodder, cowpeas and millet, soy beans or any other forage crop can be used to advantage with this clasp of animals. While a little corn can be fed to some advantage to the few milk cows maintained on the average 'farm, we are disposed to think that the cotton seed should be exchanged for meal and fed to this ({.class of animals, and that this.prac- uco will nearly always be found of advnntngo to the farmer. How Much Potash Is Needed In Fertilizing Crops? John R. Fain, Professor Of Agronomy, Ga. State College Of Agriculture. Tests have Jjeeit conducted for three years on various soil types of Georgia, which shed Borne light on the potash requirements of various crops. Where potash alone was used as a'fertilizer, no results were ob tained from corn and oats, but cottton showed a gain of from 60 to 103 pounds of seed cotton per acre. These tests wore made in both north and south Georgia. Jn the experiments 100 pounds of potash were used per acre. Where potash was used In combination with other fertilizer elements, it gave bet ter results, but not enough to pay for its application except for cot ton. , Fifteen different areas scattered ovor tho state , were used In making these tests, and as many different kinds of soils wore used as possible to make the results of general appli cability tp the state. Pig Club Enrollment . • ? Jas. E. Downing, Organizer Of Pig Clubs, Ga. State College Of Agr. Over five hundred boys have been organized into pig clubs in Georgia this year in the following counties: Whitfield, Carroll, Troupo, Bibb, Tatt nall, Arppllng, Coffee, Wayne, Berrien, Lowndes, Brooks, Grady, Decatur and Thomas. It has been impossible to organize clubs in ail the counties that have asked for them. The banks in some of the counties have assisted In getting the clubs started by loaning the boys money with which to buy the pigs, the loan to he repaid next fall. Some of the hanks are offering a dollar deposit and small metal savings banks to all boys In a county that car ry the’club work through. A scarcity of pure bred pigs* in tho state has made It 'Impossible for every applicant to qualify as. a full mem ber, but those who do not are .en rolled In the Ham and Bacon Club and will be awarded prizes for best ( meat.
