ip up the stubs with a small scoot¬
er, a hen sow broad-cast about 400
pounds of an 8-3-3 fertilizer. Follow
tlie harrow with a heavy roller if
you have one. This will put the
land in fine condition for harvesting
When luxuriant the oats begin to take on °a
spring growth wait apoly ioo lbs
Nitrate Soda. Do not too late
to put on tlie Nitrate as the grain
takes its nutriment from the stalk af¬
ter the stalk has stored it up from
the soil.
It more hay is needed cut some of
your oats in the dough stage with
a mower and cure them. Analysis
shows them to he of same value as
the best timothy hay which is worth
about $30 per ton. A very ordinary
acre will make a ton. Cut in this
stage the nutriment is contained in
the whole plant rather than, in the
grain.
Follow oats immediately with peas
and when you count the net profit
from your oat and pea hay crop no
crops occupying the land for one
year or less will pay quite .so well.
On average land you may expect 25
to 40 bushels of oats per acre and
one ton of pea-vine hay.
Let s all sow enough wheat for
home use. It is not so profitable as
oats but it will pay handsomely to
put a few acres on every farm to
wheat. Break the land well after
broadcasting lot -----v manure if J you vu have nu»
it. If not use 300 pounds of a 9-1-4
after breaking the Land. Sow wheat
and guano with a grain drill if you
have one or can rent one. You will
make about one bushel more per
here than if you broadcast them. If
a drill is used harrow the ground
well with drag, acme, cutaway or a
disc harrow.
Apply 100 pounds nitrate of soda
when wheat begins to make its first
spring growth.
Let every farmer sow grain and be¬
gin NOW, October 15th.

BUGS WORK LIKE
THE FOREST] FIRE.
As an illustration of the extensive
destruction of pine trees in the
South, due to the Southern pine bee¬
tle, Judge W. B. Lamar, farmer con¬
gressman from Florida, writes that
he has lost approximately 500 pine
trees the lost two seasons on a 155
acre tract just outside of Atlanta. ,
If the ravages of the pine beetle
throughout the pine belt are any¬
thing like this in propotion the de¬
struction must have been something
terrific as the result of the operations
of this bug of periodic development.
This bug develops in a prolific man¬
ner when seasons are favorable to it.
It is now fifteen years or more since
it developed to an extent similar to
that of the present.
Judge Lamar says the trees on
this tract looked as if they had been
swept by a severe fire. He took the
matter up with the United States
department of agriculture, and was
advised to out the trees down, strip
of the bark and have it burned. Re¬
ports from many sections of the state
indicate that the pine beetle has been
doing much destructive work this
season. At some points steps have
been taken to check its propagation
and to stamp it out.
A New Industry.
Last year a relative of Mr®. J. V.
Davidson, this county, sent her from
far-away Italy, six grains of what is
know as the coffee plant. The rela¬
tive was Mr. Frank Mehaffy. Mrs.
Davidson and her husband decided
that, as an experiment, they would
plant the grains. They did so, and
as a result, .they gathered enough of
the coffee to make a delightful drink
twice and .saved enough for this year
to plant a nice little row. From their
this years’ planting they have real¬
ized something like a peck of the
coffee and feel that, for another year,
they have a beginning for a more
extensive harvest of what appears to
be a blessing to the Walton county
farmers if not to the state of Georgia

The Jubilee meetings celebrating th
fiftieth anniversary of the Woman’s
Missionary work will be held in At¬
lanta on October 24th and 25th. Ten
denominations are working to make
this the biggest missionary rally ever
held hi the south. As Georgia gets
only one out of the fourteen meetings
to be held in southern cities, it be¬
hooves Georgia to make this Atlanta
meeting a success. The speakers
sent out by the Central Committee
are the ablest. The program in full
will appear in a few days. Every
phase of religious life and work will
be presented, from the meetings for
kindergartners to those for negro wo
men, Drawing room meetings in the
best homes, denominational rallies
in the central churches, aiflft night
meetings in the Wesley Memorial
and Broughton’s Tabernacle will mean
something of interest to every one.
A luncheon on the 25th, at which
covers will be laid for eight hundred,
the plates going tor fifty cents apiece
Some of the best addresses will he
here and an eary application for
seats is advisable. The meetings in
the north and west have been won¬
derfully successfully; the south willl
not fail. All pledges made for mis¬
sionary enterprises will he paid
through home organizations, or as
donor directs. If you are a protest
ant church member, interested or not
in missions, Atlanta is the place for
you October 24th and 25th
