State Is Being Stirred As No Other
State Has And Is Better Prepared
Than Any Other That The Weevil
Has Invaded—Farmers Who Have
Raised Cotton Successfully In 801 l
Weevil Territory Helping,
Athens, Ga.—Georgia is being stir
red from one end to the other and
through and through by campaigns
of preparedness for the boll weevil
Government experts who have been
following the weevil fight say that
Georgia is far better prepared for the
coming of the boll weevil than any
other state, by reason of the cam
paigns which have been conducted
with such success and by the several
years' work of county agents and ex
perts as directed from the College of
Agriculture and in which the federal
forces have been co-operating.
All the work which has been done
by county agents both men and wom
en, all the club work represented by
the corn clubs, canning clubs, poultry
clubs, pig clubs, four-crop clubs, calf
ciubs, etc., all the work done by
traveling experts, and all the work of
farmers’ schools and institutes has
been preparing the farmers of the
state for the boll weevil,
In the territory of the state where
the weevil has appeared or where it
is about to appear and do its serious
damage to the cotton crop, special
campaigns have been conducted and
are still being conducted to help the
farmers who have not already done
80, make their sudden changes in agri
cultural activities.
County Agent a Factor
In these campaigns the object has
been to get cut into the rural neigh
borhoods where the farmers live., The
county agents have been holding field
ior group meetings of farmers in flelds
‘where crops and farm practices of a
new sort are being demonstrated. The
‘boll weevil meetings have been held
'at school houses in the country in
‘preterence to county seats or towns,
Real Farmers Speakers
To inspire all the confidence possi
ble among farmers who are not famil
jar with the real service of college ex
i perts, farmers have been obtained from
'Louisiana and Misissippi to tell how
they have made a success growing
cotton under boll weevil conditions.
Along with these are experts who
have just as definite and practical
knowledge on various crops that will
grow in place of cotton in Georgia,
and about livestock problems of Geor
gia.
w Traveling Schools
Week long schools are held in vari
ous parts of the state where farmers
turn students again and attend school
for a week to learn more about all
kinds of farming. Where such schools
‘have been held there is always the
greatest demand for them again, They
‘have been the means of creating new
‘lnterest, outlook and optimism on the
part of farmers. :
| Movlt‘g Picture Show
~ The College of Agriculture has been
operating a splendid moving picture
outfit over all parts of Georgia, taking
‘the show out to the school houses in
the country and there putting on the
screen as clear a picture as can be
seen in any city. The reels tell of
better farming. They have been
shown free and have been attended
by a great many thousand people,
some of whom have thus been provid
ed their first view of the ‘“movies.”
801 l Weevil Preparedness Clubs
801 l weevil preparedness clubs have
been formed. Certificates of member
ship that embrace an agreement to
do certain things in varying farm
practices and to fight the weevil, They
form the basis of co-operation neces
sary to successfully hold the weevil
in check in a neighborhood. Members
of this club are provided buttons as an
insignia of their agreement to do their
duty.
Business Men Campaign
Believing it important that bankers
and business men should have the best
information possible in readjusting
their relations to the farmer so that
the farmer should suffer the least, the
College of Agricuiture has conducted
a campaign among business men, the
principal speakers being bankers and
farmers from boll weevil territory in
Louisiana, Mississippi, who have suc
cessfully met the issue in their re
spective territories, i
' Literature Distributed
Principally through the medium of
the weekly press, the College of Agri
culture has been disseminating boll
weevil, and crop diversification infor
mation so effectively that very few
farmers in the state have not been
reached iy this way. Thus the week
ly papers have become a very great
factor in the enterprige.
Posters have been issued, special
circulars, bulletins of various kinds,
all of which have been eagerly snatch
ed up by farmers. Though larger and
larger issues of such publications have
been made, it has been impossible to
supply the demand, the editions going
very quickly. }
41,000 Helpers Enlisted
Counting demonstrating farmers and
their wives, co-operating farmers, boys
and girls’ club members, traveling ex
perts and the college staff, there are
41,000 Georgia people lined up to do
some ‘definite work for the improve.
ment of agricultural conditions in
-
Planting Shade Trees
C. N. KEYSER, Department of Horti.
- culture, Ga. State Col. Of Agri.
Very few cities and towns and their
suburbs are not in need of more shade
trees, or the more systematic arrange
ment and care of them, The fall and
winter is the time for city and town
officials to make arrangements for this
enhancement of the town’s value.
Plant trees that are best suited to
roadway conditions, that are long liv
ed and will remain as landmarks in
the town, and where possible plant
each street and avenue to one specie
of tree, Some of the trees that can
be recommended for planting under
average Georgia conditions are White
Elm, Red Elm, Cork Elm, Ginkgo, Nor
way Maple, Red Maple, Water Oak,
Pin Oak, Live Oak, Tulip Poplar, and
Sycamore or Plane Tree,
Georgia Pig Clubs
Georgia has 2,600 pig club members
located in 76 counties. At the South.
eastern Fair at Atlanta they had 91
pigs on exhibition. At the State Fair
they had 111 pigs and at the Georgia-
Florida Fair at Valdosta they had 35.
At forty-five county fairs they had an
average of about eight pigs to the
fair. Sixty-five prizes were won at
the three large fairs mentioned in
cluding four junior and three grand
championships. Grady county won
most prizes, Fulton county the most
money with Bibb third. All except
three counties exhibiting won some
prize. The boys entered the open ring
and exhibited against all breeders and
won at the fairs mentioned nearly a
thousand dollars of prizes,
Market Agent To
Work In Georgia
M. C. Gay, formerly principal of the
Ninth District Agricultural and Me
chanieal School, has been appointed
as a market agent for Georgia and
has been put in the field under the di
rection of the College of Agriculture
and in co-operation with the United
States Department of Agriculture. His
duties will be to work out methods for
improving marketing facilities and to
gather useful crop information. His
headquarters are at the College of Ag
riculture.
New Bulletins and Circulars
0f College of Agriculture
Some of the bulletins and circulars
réediifty Isßued by the College of Agri
culture and are for free distribution
are as follows: “Cotton Production
Under 801 l Weevil Conditions,” “Min
imizing 801 l Weevil Damage Through
Proper Cultivation and Fertilization,”
“Oat Production in Georgia,” *“Con
trolling the Pecan Case-Bearer,”
“Beautifying the Georgia Home,” “Im
proving the Woodlot,” “Slaughtering
and Curing Meat on the Farm,” “Grow
ing Seedling Trees,” “Cantaloupe Pro
duction in Georgia,” *“Peanuts as a
Substitute for Cotton,” *“Suggestions
on Marketing Live Stock,” “Farm
Changes Under 801 l Weevil Condi
tions.” ;
l Georgia. They are a part of the army
' of preparedness.
Farmers’ Institutes
Three or four teams of college ex
perts go on the road in Georgia after
school closes to hold farmers’ insti
tutes. Through this effort institutes
are held in the summer in practically
every county. In recent years the
burden of the message of these men
has been “Preparedness for the 801 l
Weevil,”
Farm's Short Course And Conferences
The annual Farmer's Short Course
has been designed to meet boll weevil
problems as well as to better farming
conditions in general. A short course
for farmn machinery dealers has been
added to help solve new problems aris
ing through varying farm practices.
A short gourse for farm women to
better inform them how to grow veg
etables, and fruits and how to pre
serve them, how to raise poultry suc
cessfully, etc, is considered as offer
ing something to aiding in meeting dif
ficulties incident to a departure from
‘:ll-cotton cropping.
Cotton Seed Selection
‘ Realizing that desirable cotton seed
for planting would be scarce and that
mistakes were likely to be made in
‘planting the wrong seed in boll wee
vil territory, the College of Agricul
‘ture has had a survey made of the
state to locate all the desirable seed
possible that will be for sale, By this
means county agents and farmers in
general are put in touch with farm
ers having selected seed for sale, The
Lntire state has been covered by this
survey. :
