LEARNING 10 GET SOIL FERTILITY
WITHOUT HAVING TO BUT IT
President Andrew M. Soule, State College of Agriculture.
mistake of the Georgia farmer is his
dependence upon the fertilizer dealer
for replacing the soil fertility which
each crop takes from lus land.
Instead of putting out so much for
fertilizer, he should be getting at least
a part of the necessary plant food
through a proper crop rotation sys¬
tem and the growing of live stock.
The legume and the cow mean soil
fertility without cost. On a great many
Georgia farms agriculture will be a
stranger to success unt 1 these two
forces are put to work.
So devoted to cotton growing have
been thousands of farmers of Georgia
and so limited their knowledge of how
to grow other crops or to engage in
profitable animal industry, that it is
necessary to get considerable infor¬
mation from a reliable source before
they begin.
It is for the purpose of assisting
such farmers into new' lines of agri¬
cultural activity that the agricultural
short course is provided at the State
College of Agriculture, for those who
PillCE REDUCED
Dr. H. M. Burson, Veterinarian.
Hog cholera appears to be rather se¬
vere in many counties this year, as in¬
dicated by inquiries received by the
Veterinary Department; however, the
; osses repcrted are not nearly so se¬
rous as in other years. Many farmers
-re protecting their herds by means of
!l °g cholera serum and many reports
show excellent results.
Nearly 1^0,000 cubic centimeters of
serum have been distributed this year,
suuieient for the treatment of 10,000

take a longer course. ,
From January 5th to 16th, inclusive
of the year 1914, special time and ef¬
fort is to be devoted to this class of
farmers. The best service which the
College can render to impart useful
information and to map out a pro
gram for new farm activities, will then
be given. Lessons which will be taught
by lectures will be illustrated by the
farm. The College both teaches and
practices and only such as has been
proven to be good in practice is
taught.
Not only is it important to get soil
fertility without buying it, but it is
important to know how to keep it
when it has been obtained. The value
of the winter cover crop, deep plowing
and other conserving methods will
be taught.
Much can be picked up in ten days’
study and observation at the College
in various lines, to result in lasting
benefit and profit to the progressive
farmer. Why not take the short
course?
WINTER SPMG FOR
Si JOSE SCALE.
T. H. McHatton, Professor of Horti¬
culture.
Spray before Christmas with con¬
centrated lime-sulphur spray for San
Jose scale on fruit trees of any kind.
For small orchards the preparation
can be purchased. It w'ould pay the
larger ones to make it. When pur¬
chased the concentrate will cost from
25 to 50 cents per gallon in small
quantities. One gallon of the concen¬
trate should be (Fluted with from S
to 9 gallons of water. This can then
be applied .with a spraying outfit, an
o ’dinary hand outfit, of course, be¬
ing sufficient for a small orchard.
From 1 to 2 gallons, depending upon
the size of the tree, should be applied.
Spray until the tree begins to drip.
Leave no part of the tree unsprayed.
If the scale is very bad, repeat the
spraying in January.
SEVEN MORE COUNTIES
FREED OF CATTLE TICKS
Dr. H. M. Burson, Professor Veteri¬
nary Department.
Seven Georgia counties have been
released from federal quarantine on
account of the presence of tick fever
during the past year. April 1st
Banks, Clarke, Fannin, Hall and Put¬
nam counties were released and de¬
clared free of ticks, and on Sept. 1st
New'ton and Oconee counties were
also released. This action on the part
of the federal authorities is the result
of the active campaign of eradication
which has been waged against the
ticks in these counties by the state
veterinarian and the federal authori¬
ties in co-operation, the college aid¬
ing w'berever possible.
Aged New Yorker Makes a Record;
Another Is Commuter Sixty
Two Years.
New York.—Frederick H. Smith of
Newark, N. J., winner of a commu¬
ters’ contest held by a local newspa¬
per, probably holds the world record
for continuous daily travel back and
forth to work. For 62 years, or since
1861, Mr. Smith has made the trip be¬
tween Newark and New York, nine
miles, twice a day, barring Sundays,
holidays and vacations.
The distance record for five years
goes to J. J. Marchey of Hartford,
Conn., who has made 311,080 miles
commuting between New York and
Hartford, and the greatest, mileage
made in a single year is placed to the
credit of W. I. Lex of Philadelphia,
who made 55,325 miles, between his
home city and New York, commuting
from July 1, 1908, to July 1, 1909.
EMD PARIS FASHION RULE7
Time Coming When Little Attention
Will Be Paid to Parisian Style*,
It Is Said.
Paris.—‘‘Americans gradually are
coming to the point where they will
renounce the domination of the Paris
costumer as the arbiter of feminine
fashions,” said Rudolph Cony of the
Chicago Garment Review a few days
ago.
Air. Cony was sent here by the Chi¬
cago Garment Manufactuers’ associa¬
tion to see if the attainment of its an¬
nounced purpose of American styles
for American women is possible.
“I am convinced that not only is this
possible," said Mr. Cony, ‘‘but it is rea¬
sonable and desirable. The time Is
coming when^Amerlcans will pay so
little attention to Parisian styles that
our designers, manufacturers and buy¬
ers will no longer come here for fash¬
ionable hints.
“The America’n retail buyer is large¬
ly responsible for the hold of the
French designer. He must justify his
employer’s judgment in sending him
to Europe and he does it by taking
back ’something different.’
“The American woman has little to
learn. I have been in Vienna and
the leading German cities and Swiss
rt sorts, and I found the American
woman the best dressed to be seen
anywhere. The Parisienne is artistic,
but often Impractical. You may Bee
hor wearing a lingerie dress, decollete
and furs. An American woman nev¬
er would attempt such a combination.”

Hoosier Open Furrow
Farmers and other agricultural experts have clearly demj
onstrated by repeated tests that the open furrow sowing is the
only way to produce a crop of Appier or Red Rust-proof Oats
every year in the Southern States. All other methods average
two out of five that escape frost, he crop depends] up¬
on the height and st rbility of the trenches, which afford protec¬
tion from frost, hree t hings are neces sary—
Unbroken Kidges, Enough Seed and
Enough Fertilizer.

quirements. Let us show you.

Silly Saying Still Lives.
The saying that fish is the best
brain food comes of an old long
tongue windbag years ago saying:
“Thought is Impossible without phos¬
phorus.” So a Swiss chemist, know¬
ing that fish contained phosphorus,
put two and two together and brought
forth a saying that will never die.
Pork Favorite Chinese Food.
The Chinese eat little or no beef.
The beef consumed In the empire is
chiefly the food of foreigners. But
the natives ar* rfceedingly fond of
pork and consume vast quantities of
it. Not only is the native article an
excellent grade, but Chinese pork Is
retailed at a price far lower than the
mere cost of production In this coun
try. American pork could not com
pete with that of China, even if there
were no onestlon of transportation
