rae getting farming than they have

conducting. To all, the course
h en broadening of their con¬
has meant the
ception of the possibilities, as well as
their knowledge of the great underly¬
ing principles of agriculture.
The first of the year is a good time
to plan the farm program. It may
be that you want to take up some¬
thing new, hut you do not have all the
information you would like. Why not
get it at the short course? Perhaps
your soil is losing its fertility each
yea r and you want to know how it
am be built up without buying it.
Perhaps you are interested in start¬
ing the raising of colts, or beef cat¬
tle, or dairy cattle, or pigs. If you
have not had successful experience,
you will provably find that learning
how costs far less at the Short
Course.

Showing Anthracnose on Boll.
Go into the cotton field and get
your seed. Any other way is hazard¬
ous. Select seed from plants that are
free from disease and especially free
from cotton anthracnose or boll rot.
Georgia lost $2,000,000 from anthrac
nose during 1913, according to federal
reports. The disease Is spreading and
greater losses may be expected.
Select seed from well formed, hardy
high-producing plants that do not bear
signs of anthracnose, and you not
only have the best assurance of pro¬
tection from boll rot. but an assurance
of the largest yield.

has not only the information, but ac¬
tual results to exhibit that have been
obtained from the College farm.
You have doubtless been buying fer¬
tilizer without a knowledge of the
needs of your soil, thus throwing away
your hard-earned money. In a ten
days’ course you can learn something
about fertilizers that will prove a
great saving in the future.
Should you be interested in introduc¬
ing new farm machinery, you will find
that the short course affords oppor¬
tunities for studying and comparing
advantages of various makes, under
expert advice. It may save you from
throwing away many dollars on ma¬
chinery that is impractical for your
farm
If it is trucking, orcharding, vine¬
yards in which you wish to get infor¬
mation, the course in horticulture is
offered. If it is poultry, you will find
a good course and a well-equipped
plant at your service.
The short course is offered, of
course, to the farmers of Georgia to
help them meet their farm problems.
The attitude of the College is to ren¬
der assistance to as many as it can.
It stands ready to be used by the
people and welcomes demands upon its
service.
Where seed can not be bought that
has been proven free from the dis¬
ease, the farmer must rely on his
own cotton fields. Any one can de¬
velop a variety of cotton into a high
state of freedom from the disease by
proper seed selection in his own fields.
If anthracnose is not present, it pays
well to select seed in the field from
the best plants. Yields can be built
up remarkably in this way.
Everything that conduces to weak¬
ness of plant development lays the
plant open to all diseases that may
appear, so that the best assurance of
freedom from loss Is obtained only
when there has been right seed selec¬
tion and right cultivation both before
and after the seed is planted. In other
words, strong plants are healthiest.
