KENT'SOCTOBER REPORT
FARM AGENT TELLS OF HIS AC
TIVITIES THE PAST MONTH.
Calls Attention to the Importance of
planting Oats This Month. Gives
Formula For Preventing Smut.
During the month I have visited
101 demonstrators, 43 club members,
gritten 42 letters, five articles to the
press and traveled 581 miles in in
terest of the work.
The work with my demonstrators
fhis month has had to do with the
planting of bur clover, crimson eclo
ver, vetch and alfalfa. I have suc
eeded beyond my expectations in all
these crops, and am extremely sorry
fhat it is now too late to continue
planting bur clover and crimson clo
ver. We still have time to plant
vetch, and scarcely a day passes that
we do not see vetch seed coming in.
Every farmer in your county should
try at least one acre with either rye
or oats. If he can be induced -to
plant one acre this year he will never
be satisfied with one acre any more.
One bushel of oats and 20 pounds
of vetch with a little inoculation
which the government will gladly
give is all that it takes to make the
best acre of feed that a man ever
grew, to say nothing of the ammo
nia that it stores up in the soil for
future use. Every man in the coun
ty who cared to do so has seen a
sample of the hay at the institutes
held in the summer, and the beauty
of it all ig it grew on your soils. This
proves that it is no longer an experi
ment.
During this month we will deal
mostly with oats. The land for these
should be broken at the earliest pos
sible date, harrowed and allowed to
settle for a week or ten days so as
the oats will germinate very readily
when planted. It is a mistaken idea
that oat land should not be well bro
ken and harrowed. .
How to Prevent Smut.
During the spring the writer was
in a number of oat fields where one
fifth of the oats- were affected with
smut. Now this means a great loss
to the farmers of the county, when
it could easily be avoided. This year
it is hoped that every farmer will
treat his oats with formalin solution
to prevent this disease. It is a sim
ple solution consisting of one ounce
of formalin to three gallons of wa
ter. The seed can be spread thinly
on the barn floor and sprinkled with
the solution, being careful that all
the seed are dampened. Then cover
with sheets for about three hours and
plant soon afterwards. If every man
will do this he will net be troubled
with this disease. An ounce will
treat three bushels of seed and will
cost practically nothing.
It is hoped that there will be a
larger oat crop planted than has ever
been known in your county. It is in-

teresting to note, too, that none but
the best varieties are being planted,
oats of standard variety and well
matured. In Georgia we buy annu
ally 39 million dollars worth of oats
from other states. Why can’t we
supply this demand and keep our
money at home? We want to urge
that every man in your c¢ounty that
has to buy seed oats to buy at home
and keep what money we have in the
county. If we will do this we can
greatly help our financial condition.
We will reap the benefit of it the sec
ond and third time, while if we send
it to other sections other people get
the benefit of it. Keep it in circula
tion at home by all means. You can
buy just as good oats here as any
where,
Every farmer should remember to
keep enough cotton seed to fertilize
all the oats he plants. They are
worth $l6 per ton as such and should
be harrowed in just as soon as the
land has been broken.
43 Bushels of Corn Per Acre.
Much time this month has been
taken up with the boys in their club
work, measuring their corn, helping
them make out their reports and so
liciting premiums for them. The fu
ture farmers need attention as well
as the present ones, as the results
this year .will show. The average
vield of these boys in the corn club
this year for Terrell county was
42.96 bushels per acre at an average
cost of 55 cents per bushel and for
Lee county the average yield per
acre was 48 bushels at an average
cost of 63 cents per bushel. These
vields would have been much greater
and the cost much less if we had be
gun in the fall, as we will this year,
by breaking our land and sowing cov
er crops instead of beginning in the
months of March and April. Some
of our boys have also raised pigs
that gained a pound per day at a cost
of 21 cents per pound. We can af
ford to spend a little time with boys
who can do this. Let’'s keep on en
couraging the boys, and we will find
in the end that they will not be so
prone to look for shady jobs in the
towns, the thing that is ruining our
country as fast as any other omne
thing. Respectfully,
R. H. KENT, Demonstration Agent.

DECIDED NOT TO GO TO MEXICO.
Mrs. DeWolf Returned to Dawson Af
ter Reaching New York.
Reports of the new revolution
brewing in Mexico did not reach Mrs.
G. P. DeWolf until she arrived at
New York, where friends were wait
ing to sail with her on the Morro
Castle to Vera Cruz. On the advice
of officials of the Ward line steam
ship company and others in touch
with"the alarming situation the party
abandoned the trip and Mrs. DeWolf
returned to Dawson Saturday. Mr.
DeWolf, who has remained at his
post of duty, recently eabled that he
thought conditions had quieted so as
to warrant Mrs. DeWolf's return.
Since that message General Carranza
has established headquarters between
Vera Cruz and Mexico City on the
only railway open to the capital.
Mrs. DeWolf will remain for the
present with her mother’s family,
and is making the best of the trying
circumstances that keep her so long
away from her home in Mexico City.

for them by Mrs. Blanche Bowers,

the lightest foods. I tried every
thing that I heard of to get relief,
but not until about a year ago, when
I saw Chamberlain’s Tablets adver
tised and got a bottle of them, did I
find the right treatment. I soon be
gan to improve, and since taking a
few bottles of them my digestion is
fine.”” For sale by all dealers.
