N. GA. BECOMING
FAMOUS FOR APPLES
Andrew M, Soule, President Georgia
State College Of Agriculture
A visit to the north Georgia apple
section is bound to be an inspiration
to those who appreciate the power of
an industry to transform idle lands
to productive areas, to successfully
maintain population and to enable
man to find an attractive and remun¬
erative employment as well. In this
table land region with its ideal win¬
ter and summer climate and with its
elevation of 1,500 to 2,500 feet above
the sea are found the best natural
conditions of climate and soil for the
production of apple* of the choicest
quality as to flavor and which will
keep for a long period, and by reason
of their high color are unusually at¬
tractive to the consumer.
It Is the home-maker who Is a fruit
grow'er that north Georgia offers the
greatest opportunity. Lands suitable
for cultivation can still be purchased
at a cost of from $25 to |50 per acre.
To establish an orchard and bring it to
bearing requires no small outlay of la¬
bor. One of the largest and most suc¬
cessful growers in north Georgia re¬
ports that It has cost him as much
as $350 per acre to clear his land and
bring his trees into bearing at seven
or eight years. This takes Into con¬
sideration every expense incident to
establishing the orchard and maintain¬
ing it under almost ideal conditions.
The lighter soils are better adapted
to producing early maturing trees
than the day soils where trees will
grow slower but last longer. Newly
cleared lands are preferable. As a
rule, north Georgia land is well drain¬
ed, both as to soil and air, but care
should be taken to select a site to
see that both of these conditions pre¬
vail.
The College of Agriculture has Is¬
sued a bulletin on Apple Culture in
Georgia which is for free distribution,
and which will be found valuable to
entering upon an apple orchard prop¬
osition.
The industry is beyond the experi¬
mental stage, valuable information has
been obtained on the best varieties to
be used, modern and effective methods
of pruning, spraying and cultivating
are being employed with excellent re¬
sults. The marketing end of the crop
is being intelligently worked out. The
leaders in the industry are some of
the most intelligent and capable busi¬
ness men in Georgia. In fact, the
foundation is well laid for a great and
thriving apple business for this state.
The 4-H Brand of Boys and Girls
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of
Agriculture.
Fifteen thousand boys and girls of ■
Georgia belong to clubs whose motto
i6 represented by four H’s. They are
the 4-H brand of boys and girls. These
four H’s stand for the development of
the Head, the Hand, the Heart and
the Health. The brand is stamped on
all the products offered for sale by
these club members. They wear the
letters on their breasts emblazoned on
buttons. They display it at the ex¬
hibits of the school, the county, the
district and the state fairs.
The first “H" represents the train¬
ing of the head. Very little progress
can he made without intellectual de¬
velopment, so an effort must be made
to train our girls and boys to think
to reflect, to look into their problems
and reach definite conclusions. The
more highly trained they are the more
successfully they will meet difficulties
and the faster they will progress.
The second “H” means to train the
hand. The hands, of course, are very
Important to the individual, but they
are of little service without training,
One may be able to use the hands for
certain things with advantage, but he
may not be skillful in the use of his
hands. Therefore, the acquirement of
skill and deftness become matters of
TO KEEP HOG CHOLERA
FROM REACHING YOUR
HERD
pr. A. U Hideman, U. S. Vet. Field
Agt., Ga. College Of Agriculture
Locate your hog lots and pastures
away from streams and public high¬
ways, and do not allow your hogs to
run free range.
Do not visit your neighbor or allow
him to visit you, if either of you have
hog cholera on your premises.
Do not drive into hog lots when re¬
turning from market or after driving
on public highways.
Do not use hog lots for yarding
wagons and farm implements.
Do not place newly purchased stock,
stock secured or loaned for breeding
purposes, or stock exhibited at county
fairs, with your herd. Keep such stock
quarantined at least two weeks, and
use oare to prevent carrying infection
from these to other pens in feeding
and attending stock.
Burn to ashes or cover with quick
lime and bury under four feet of
earth all dead animals and the vis¬
cera removed from animals at butch¬
ering time because they attract the at¬
tention of buzzards, dogs, etc., which
are liable to carry hog cholera infec¬
tion.
Confine your dogs and do not keep
pigeons unless you confine them
SPRAYING FOft'
SANTfOSE SCALE
T. H. McHatton, Pfrof. Horticulture,.
Ga. State College Of Agriculture
For home-made concentrated lime
sulphur to be used In winter spraying
for San Jose scale, take 80 pounds of
flour of sulphur, *0 pounds of slaked
lime, 50 gallons of water-, Slake the
lime, mix in the sulphur, add 50 gal-,
Ions of water and let it boil for §0 0 r
60 minutes. Some water will evapo¬
rate. Replace it so that thq fentire
amount of the solution will be 50 gaK
Ions.
This is the concentrate which must
be diluted with water before being
used on trees. It is sufficient to
make 300 to 400 gallons of spraying
material or sufficient to spray 200 five
year-old peach trees for scale during
the winter.
To know how much water to use in
diluting the concentrate, purchase a
hydrometer at a drug store. If this can¬
not be had, dilute the concentrate by
adding 6 or 7 gallons of water to one
gallon of concentrate for late fall and
winter spraying for San Jose scale.

Lime-sulphur solution should not be
confused with self-boiled lime-sulphur.
The lime-sulphur is caustic and if ap¬
plied too strong would burn foliage,
but self-boiled lime-sulphur is much
weaker and is used for summer
sprays.
All orchard trees, apples, peaches,
pears and plums, affected by scale or
likely to be affected, should be sprayed
during November or December and
if the infestation is bad, again in ear¬
ly spring just before the leaf buds
swell.
great importance. One girl is able to
can tomatoes and a boy to pollinate
corn to advantage. But such things
follow the training of the hands to be
useful, and most important of all, to
be skillful.
The third “H” stands for training
the heart. Education is of little value
and skillful hands not worth while un¬
less the heart is trained to be kind,
true and sympathetic. Life is only
valuable as we are able to serve oth¬
ers, and as we are served by others.
Kindness is a trait of patriotism
which we should strive to develop,
for it means that we are to lend our
sympathy and support to those less
fortunate than ourselves, and that we
all work and co-operate together for
the greatest good to the greatest num¬
ber.
The fourth “H” represents health.
What advantage to he clear-minded,
skillful-handed and sympathetic-heart¬
ed if one has not the power through
vigorous health to serve others? Dis
ease lurks everywhere about us. We
do not appreciate as we should the
forms in which disease may appear,
and the relative ease with which we
may evade it, if our bodies are in a
thoroughly vigorous condition.
WINTER LAYERS
D. J. Taylor, Field Agent Poultry, Ga,
State College Of Agriculture
If you expect your pullets to lay
this winter you should begin early
to put them in condition to lay. The
farmers’ wives who make a success
of poultry keeping have this idea of
winter eggs in mind ali summer and
select for this purpose.
Those pullets that were late hatched
or were slow in maturing, should be
fed liberally to put on as much growth
and fat as possible to mature them;
but it is the early hatched, well ma¬
tured pullet that can be most relied
upon to lay during the winter. Feed
the late hatched pullets liberally on
corn, wheat and oats, with a mash
made of wheat seconds or of bran and
shorts, and corn meal with 15 per cent
of commercial meat scraps or cotton
seed meal.
Do not neglect any of the things
that will keep the chickens strong
and healthy. Supply the chickens with
plenty of grit, oyster shell, charcoal
and green feed, and give them the run
of the farm or of a grassy plot. A
weak chicken will lay few eggs any
time of the year, and especially few
during the winter.
Prepare a house for your pullets this
fall so that they will be protected
from severe weather and the rains
They need this protection to lay large
numbers of eggs.
