IS MXOMPUSHM
By Andrew M. Soule, President Georpia Stat* College of Agriculture.
During the year 1913 more than 10
000 Georgia farmers co-operated with
the Georgia State College of Agricul
ture and the Department of Farm
Demonstration Work of the United
States Bureau of Agriculture. Of this
number 6,600 were enrolled as dem
onstration farmers and 5,236 as
erating farmers. These farmers who
had 18,000 acres of corn planted and
handled under the direction of super
rising agents produced an average
of 36.3 bushels per acre. They liad
15,000 acres planted to cotton which
made an average yield of 1,303 pounds
of seed cotton per acre. The 4,055
acres of oats produced an average
yield of 43 bushels per acre. No bet
ter arguments need be made in favor
of farming according to the improved
methods recommended by the agencies
promoting this work.
Among these farmers, 27,600 acre?
were sown to winter cover crops to
be plowed under in spring. This in it¬
self is so vital to the upbuilding of
Georgia soils that if nothing else were !
accomplished, it would amply ju -tify
the outlay for demonstration work.
Of course, demonstration work is car¬
ried on in cowpeas, velvet beans, po¬
tatoes, sugar cane, sorghum and win¬
ter legumes; likewise in live stock,

LIME TESTSlN
John R. Fain, Professor of Agronomy,
Georgia State College of
Agriculture.
An average of two years in the ap¬
plication of lime for corn, cotton and
cowpeas has been obtained from lead¬
ing types of soils in various sections
of Georgia.
These tests have been made In Co¬
lumbia, Hancock, Walker, Troup,
Walton and Pike counties in North
Georgia and in Dooley, Daugherty,
Bulloch and Brook in South Georgia.
The best results in the use of lime
was obtained from legumes. Since le¬
gumes are important contributors to
soil fertility it may be said that lime
and legumes form the basis of econom¬
ical soil building in Georgia.
The average increase per acre for
corn obtained by the use of lime for
two years is 3.7 bushels for North
Georgia and 1.3 bushels for South
Georgia. The average increase for
cotton in North Georgia is 110.4
pounds and for South Georgia 80
pounds seed cotton. For North Geor
gla there was an increase of 616

Electricity Is Knocking At
Your Door
You desire your home to be modern and up-to-date in
every respect, do you not?
The modern home, then, is run by Electricity. Break¬
fast in this kind of household is prepared by means of Elec
tricty on the dining-room table. After breakfast the Elec¬
tric motor starts purring, attached as it is to the dish wash¬
ing machine, the clothes washer and wringer, the sewing
machine, the family silver polisher. The old time broom is
replaced by the vacuum cleaner,, and the electric flat iron
makes light work of the days ironing. And when the time
comes to “light up” in the evening the universal genius of
electricity again prevails in the household.
WHY NOT LET ELECTRICITY INTO YOUR HOME
NOW, WHEN IT IS DOING SO MUCH TO MAKE YOUR
NEIGBOR CONTENTED AND HAPPY.

and knowledge gathered from the
whole world of farming; knowle ge

his own experience in a thousan
years. It means further that the arm

others have made. In no occupation
is there so many possibilities of error
as farming. It is the purpose of t e
j experiment stations, colleges and fed
eral forces working in agriculture to
detect error and warn the farmer as
much as it is to guide him with test
j ed knowledge of the right way to
farm.
The farm demonstration work is
rapidly increasing in Georgia. It has
been difficult to meet the demands,
considering the limited means and
properly qualified men at hand. It is
not only the duty of the College of
Agriculture to act as a clearing house
for information, but it is its duty to
equip men to act as leaders in this
popular modern movement. In this
latter respect it will be almost impos¬
sible for the College with its present
capacity to turn out men fast enough
for the work.

Since lime is cheap and need not
be applied only at from three to six
years intervals, it will be seen that it
is exceedingly valuable fertilizer, es¬
pecially for legumes.
AGRICULTURE IN
GEORGIA SUMMER SCHOOL
John R. Fain, Professor of Agronomy,
Georgia State College of
Agriculture.
In connection with the Georgia
Summer School for Teachers during
the month of July at the University of
Georgia, a course in agriculture is of¬
fered which teachers have been find¬
ing very useful in their schools. Soils,
seeds, plants and animals are studied
from the standpoint of the needs of
the elementary school. For agricul¬
tural work for secondary schools, the
| teacher is expected to have a knowl
| edge of the elementary course, and
I the course offered will be more ad
! vanced work in connection with soils,
I seeds, plants and animals. Special at
tenton will be given to laboratory
work.
