State College Of Agriculture 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 HART, Bro.f.

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. Agricultural Short Coarse And ibs BgS!

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 McHatton, Prof. "~of Horticulture, Ga State College of Agriculture.
