Any system of safe furmlng, under
boll weevil conditions should provide
that Urn cultivated area of tlio farm
should bo so dlvldod us to grow
enough corn to provide for family and
tlio llvu stock throughout tlio year.
Tlio area will vary with the fertility
of the land, but on a two-horso farm
not less than ten, or, bettor still, twen
ty acres of Inml should lip devoted to
this crop. Enough land should ho
devoted to oats and small grains to
meet homo requirements.
if the oats are properly handled
they will provide some grazing. A
great variety of hay and forage-pro
ducing crops ran ho grown successful
ly alter oats, hut It lu Important, to
remember that the cultivation of le-
•.guinea should lie emphasized because
of their ability to gather nitrogen from
the air.
Certainly, the farmer should provide
all the meal needed far Ids family
There Is no reason why two to six
brood sow:; should not he maintained
on Iho average two-horso farm,’ Graz
log crops should he depended on ,to
provide the food neodotl for the growth
and fattening of young pigs. They
can lie hardened off with a little corn
in the fail rind a very choice quality
of moat obtained.
A small flock of lions will provide
nil tlio egg3 needed and leave a sur
plus tor sale. Probably no class of
moat la in greater demand In towns
and cities than chickens.
Every wise farmer will Uoep at least
two (jaws so that his family will ho
uppllod with an abundance of milk
and butter at all seasons of the year.
Then if ho will keep a couple of brood
mures and raise a colt or two each
year, ho can maintain his work stock )
on an efficient basis. Next the farmer
should provide.a garden. A half acre
of land will produce all the vegetables
which a family of six can possibly cat.
and if a proper rotation Is established
niul Iho garden well fertilized and han
dled, fresh vegetables may be had a'
almost any reason of the year. There
lu probably no section which will pro 1
duco a greater variety of vegetable:
with greater ease than tlio southeast
ern states, and yet the garden is nog
looted, because its value is not appre
ciated and ils tnfluenco on tlio health
of the family not understood.
After having accomplished tlio fore
going, the farmer should devote
reasonable area of his land to the
cultivation of cotton, as Ids main
money crop. If this plan Is followed,
a system of safe farming will have
boon established throughout the south
cover, all bright parts with a heavy
oil. Clean out bit holes and plug

Treating Sorehead
Or Chicken Pox
WM. 8. DILT8, Poultry Instructor, Ga.
State College Of Agriculture.
The disenso commonly known as
Soro Head or Chicken Pox Is very
prevalent in Georgia, it first appears
as small, white pimples on the face,
wattles or comb of the bird. t Tliose
pimples grow in size and later a dark,
hard scab forms, in extreme cases,
the unfeathered portions of the head
are entirely covered und the eyes are
nearly closed. Thu disease may spread
to other portions of tlio body.
Tlio whitish pimples should bo paint
ed with tincture of iodine and greased
with curbolttted vaseline. If the scabs
are dry, they Hhould be removed and
burned.
The following treatment can be used
for building up the system, thus in
creasing resistance to the disease.
For throe days feed the cliickens a
moist mash each day containing one
third teaspoonful opsom salts for ev
ery fowl in the flock. For the three
days following, feed a moist mash con
taining ono-third tenspoonful sulphur
far every fowl In the flock. Tills treat
ment can then be repented in this or
der its long as thought desirable.

Advantages of Fall Plowing
John R. Fain, Prof. Of Agronomy, Ga.
State College Of Agriculture.
Stiff lands of Georgia ought to be
plowed In the fall, the earlier the bet
tor, so that they will get the mlvan
tage of the freezing and thawing
through the year. It is better to leave
ilio land rough so as to expose as
much of It as possible to the elements,
For this reason plowing is much boi
ler than disking.
The fall Is the best time to plow
deep, for at that time the subsoil is
dry and does not clod. It Is also the
time to subsoil for the same reason
Bulb Planting Season
The fall of the year Is the season
for setting out bulbs. Jonquils, nnr
cissi, hyacinths and tulips, and many
of iho lilies should be planted beforo
ChVistmas.
Bulbs that are to be forced for bloom
ing in tlio house should be planted in
pots or flats in good soil from the first
to the middle of October. They should
then be placed in a dark room or cel
lar for a month to six weeks. Do not
lot them dry out nor do not keep them
too wet. They will bloom from six
weeks to two months after being
brought into the___warm room.—T. 1-1
