Cotton Possibilities Under Boll WeevirCondltlons
The cotton crop for the year 1916 has brought the Georgia farmer tho
greatest returns that he can hopo to receive for a long time, on account of
the boll weevil. This 1b the record—It Is very conservatively stated:

Georgia stands second In cotton production. She should and can hold her
position If her people profit by tlte opportunities Bho offers. . Though her
planters will suffer temporary loss J,lloy can and will snake. It Sack through
increasing tho number of dairy and beef cattle, bogs and poultry and by en<
larging their acreage of peanuts, velvet beaks, potatoes, fruit, truck, and

Some Talking Points About Georgia’s Agriculture
In 1916 Georgia had 2,434,000 hogs, which when compared with the census
figures of 1909, show an increase of about 600,000 head. Georgia hr seventh
among the states In hog production.
The increase in the number of hogs in Georgia in 1916 over 1916 was 14
per cent, the greatest increase of-any . state.
According to figures of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United Slater
Department of Agriculture, Georgia -Is first of all the states having pig blubs,
for lowest coBt of production and for greatest profit' in producing pork.
Excellent porJc Is being made in- Gborgla at 3 cents and less per pound
by tho use of the combination of corn, velvet beans and peanuts, the hogs
doing the harvesting.
Georgia's corn crop has been nearly doubled in quantity and., value since
1909. During this period, the Boy’s Corn dubs have been developed and
'' the county demonstration agents have been doing their educational work.
The results are significant.
The greatest yield of corn from one acre in Georgia is 214 bushels mbde
by a Com Club member.
Georgia has the largest number of Corn Club mombers of any state In the
union.
Georgia stands 16th among the states In corn production and 3rd among
southern states In this regard, Texas and Kentucky alone surpassing her.
Georgia has the largest acreage of any state devoted to pecans.
Georgia is second ip production of peaches and by “reason of the quality
and earliness, the selling price is high and profits are large.
Georgia has 41,000 rural people—men, women and Children—who are or
ganlzed Into clubs and otherwise, to do some definite demonstration work
in improving farm conditions under the direction of tlie extension division
of the Georgia State College of Agriculture. ■■ -
Tho velvet bean has come into great ’commercial impartu'ace, especially
in south Georgia where it is extensively grown wit® coin, it increases live
stook possibilities, and when grain and pod are ground together is offered
as a valuable feed upon the market.
During receht months several public sales of purebred" livestock him
been made In Georgia. In this way and through private ptfreiiases, some o:
the best breeding stock out of the most famous dtrafiis of beef and dairy
cattle in tbe country have been obtained by fefeprgla farmers

A Letter From a
Whigham Citizen
Whigham, On.
Jan. 2 1017
Editor Qrady County Progress:
I set? that there is being pre
parations made for a great land
show in Atlanta, On., February 1
to 15th., of this year.
Wo have had that fore stalled
and beaten by an enterprising old
Baptist preacher.
Wo refer to Eldar .Jowers who
came to this community several
years a’go to preach the gospel.
I-Ie was from North Alabama ai d
:io noted 1 he difference in tempera-
uro here and at his former home,
during lire winter. He also noted
the ease with which the, level pin;
lands of this section can bo culti
vated in comparison to the land.-
anlbng the hills and Mountains o!
north Alabama. He noted (hi
various crops' that can bo pro
duced here, and instead of having
an organization to- inaugurate a
land show. He has made a show
of land to some of his old friends
a id neighbors, and the fruits oi
-his show of land hus produced
good results in that it has brought
ti our immediate community many
good and industrious men with
t leir families.
UhUBS IN BACKS OF CATTLE.
DR. W. M. BURSON, Prof. Vet. Med.,
Georgia State College Of Agrl.
Grubs under the skin of the back
in cattle are the larvae of the bot
fly of cattle, a serious pest of the cat
tle Industry. Losses are caus
ed by the files bothering cattle during
hot weather and interfering with
grazing, growth, fattening and mtfk
production. During winter while tills
grubs are in position under the sltln,
loss of flesh in beef cattle, causing de
struction of, meat, and great commer
cial damage to hides are the result
of Infestation. Over each tumor in
the baok will be found a hole In the
skin. One or more holes in a hide
lowers the market grade one or two
cents per pound.
Bot flies do not live outside the bod
ies of cattle during the winter. De
struction .of tho grubs under the skin
prevents the propagation of bot flies
during the following summer.
Tho grubs may be destroyed by
crushing thorn under the skin, by
squeezing them out through the open
ing In the skin, by injecting a few
drops of gasoline into each tumor, or
4iy dipping cattle In the arsenical so
lution used for destroying ticks.
The mature fly deposits eggs in the
vicinity of tho heels of cattle d.urlqg
summer. The application of h fly-re-
• pellant of flsh oil—three parts, kero-
sec o, one part—during fly time will
help to keep down Infestation.

The practice ot following cotton
With cotton is considered a poor farm

if'he College of Agriculture is urging
through county agents and others thal

HIGH RECOMMENDATION
FOR GEORGIA INSTITUTION
It has come to the attention of . the
authorities qf fhe^Gcopfita State Col

a course in cotton industry as a re-
««r. y, a.
Among those who have come at
a result of this show of land and
purchased land arc, Richaul Jow
ers and Mr. Davis his brother-iu-
taw. They have bought about
175 acres. II. L. Allen lias bought

has bought sixty acres, and with
these can be mentioned, Mr. R.
A. Ellis who bought one hundred
acres nnd Mr. J. E,*Lawrence
who bought one hundred^and fifty
icrcs.^Thc last two mentioned
c uno"from north Georgia, and this
ir not all that can be shown ; s
the fruits of this show of land. A
great ni@iber of families have con e
-t) experiment oil out 1 lands,' clim
ate, crops and if they fnd it
satisfactory, will buy land-latu.
Vrnong this number who Ini'e
rented laud for experiment are Mr.

•Mr. B. L. White, Mr. John Tin m-
s, Mr. Marin Sailer, Mr. Jack
Salter, Mr. C. E. Kail and ildcr
Dalis Jowers, tlie letter is a ter
of the old minister^, who United
• this move.
“When Elder Jewels began tils
ihow of .land. to. | his Alubr.n a
friends ho was assisted by Sam
Harrell who vtas farming on his
Brownlee farm near Whigham.
Mr. Harrell had,bought the piece
about that lime and ho showed’ty
actual demonstration what tl c
pine lands of this section will do
under proper cultivation, and
when these good peop|p began to
come in to look for homes 1 e
siemecl to take pleasure in show
ing them around and explaining
tie proper methods jo bring out
the best that is in pine lands.
We learn from Mr. Harrell wl o
is in toueli with a groat.many wl o
ire here for experiment that if.
they find this section is wlnt they
expect, they will so report nnd
perhaps a great many families
will come in here next Winter, nnd
1 will surgest that any of our
people who have land that they
can spare for sale or for rent, can
assist in this show of land by be
ing reasonable in prices and kind
ly in their dealings for if those
who come arc as those who have
come it will be a benefit to our
county and state for us to so act
as to keep them here.
