Great Southern Inter-State Fair Is Of
fering the Largest Premiums Ever
Advertised For Agricultural Pro
ducts—Women’s Department.
The Premium List of the Southeru
Inter-State Fair is now ready for distri
bution and those who desire ,a copy
should apply at once to Secretary T. H.
Martin, 218 Prudential Building, At
lanta. It will be mailed without charge.
The premiums of last year have been
increased about 30 per cent. The classes
have been extended also, thus offering
greater opportunity for the exhibit of
more complete lines. Many novel and
interesting contests have been arranged.
Attention has already been called to
the “Giant Premiums” offered for agri
cultural products. These special prizes
are record breakers. They excel any
premiums ever before offered for this
character of exhibits. Wheat, oats,
corn, potatoes, cotton and pumpkins
come in for big money, $250.00 being
offered for the best bushel of the various
sorts of grain. The same is offered for
the best 20 stalks of cotton and the same
for the largest pumpkin.
There are five large prizes offered for
the best collective agricultural exhibits
made by Georgia farmers—$300, $200.
$100, $00 and $40, respectively, for the
five best exhibits of this character. The
basis of competition and all information
regarding the contest is given in the
Premium List.
Another interesting lot of premiums
tire those offered in the Cattle Depart
ment. There has always been quite a
demand for classes in this department
open only to Georgia owned animals.
But separate classes of this character
have heretofore been impossible on ac
count of the additional expense. Hap
pily this objection has been met by a
full treasury and the double classes are
offered this year. The Fair Association
has been encouraged to do this on ac
count of the great success of the Cattle
Department last year and it is hoped
that the Georgia entries this year will
prove the wisdom of the Fair Associa
tion in making this additional expendi
ture.
The Department of Women’s Work
aud the Flower Show have been placed in
charge of the Georgia Federation of
Women’s Clubs, of which Mrs. J. Lind
say Johnson is president. This does not
mean, however, that only members of
this organization will be allowed to make
entries in this Department. The priv
ilege of exhibit is given to all aud the
indications axe that the Department of
Women’s Work will be one of the most
interesting of the Fair.
Every Department of the Premium
List is full of interest. It is well worth
inspection, whether or not one expects
to become an exhibitor. Even a synop
sis of the lists here would he quite im
possible for lack of space. Send and get
a copy. That is the best way, and then
you will have the whole story.
Plant Resumes Operations.
Birmingham, Ala., June 13,—Fires
have been lighted under the furnaces of
the steel plant of the Birmingham roll
ing mills and the plant has resumed
operations after a shut-down of several
weeks for repairs. This mill will be
kept steadily at work during the sum
mer. Its capacity is about GO tons a day.
CASTOniA.
Bears the yj The Kind You Have Always Bought
Signature
of
RUN OUT STOCK AND TRUE STOCK,
any.” However, I would not always
choose the very largest tubers, as these
may be rough, coarse or unshapely,
but always those true to a type.
A great deal of advantage may be
gained by selection in tlie field before
the crop is ripe and while it is yet
growing. Selection should be made at
this time with respect to growth of
vine, health, size and height of vine,
appearance, number, color and manner
of growth in the "hill, whether compact
or scattering, as the tubers being not
mature will show their characteristics
most forcibly at this time. This should
be done just before tlie vine begins to
ripen.
The writer very much prefers mature
potatoes for seed as compared with
immature seed, notwithstanding the
geat cry for second crop seed to the
contrary, provided this mature seed
can be stored in a cool enough place to
keep them from starting the least par
ticle of growth and at the same time
not freeze. However, as so very few
are prepared to keep mature tubers
thus, we must either rely on second
crop or immature first crop seed, and
here comes in our selection and digging
before the crop is ripe. We must take
into consideration that the extra early
varieties will be more difficult to keep
than tlie late ones if we are to use im
mature first crop seed, and as we can
not grow second crop in tlie north this
is the best we can do.
Potatoes will run out under certain
conditions, the same as other vegeta
bles or fruits, consequently we must be
on the lookout for tlie tuber that has
the “run out” marks. A potato that
has begun to decline will show it in a
difference in the shape and depth of
eye, eyes will be more numerous, and
the skin will have changed its appear
ance, as shown in the cut where the
upper figure is a tuber from ruu out
stock aud tlie lower is from true stock
of the same variety. The foregoing is
the advice of a writer in American
Gardening.
BEARDLESS BROME GRASS (EROMUS INERMIS).
1. One pound of seed as bought. 2. Pure seed.
8. Chaff and dirt. 4. Spurious seeds. 5. Total
waste. C. Pure and terminable seed.
most seedjnen quote prices either “per
100 pounds” or “per bushel of 14
pounds.”
Tlie figure illustrates the amount of
good seed aud waste in one pound of a
commercial sample. This seed contain
ed more than 40 per cent of chess and
less than 16 per cent of the total could
be used, the balance being waste.

Cottonseed Meal as Food,
Cottonseed meal is no substitute for
meat, neither is linseed meal, says P.
H. Jacobs in American Gardening.
Why? Because meat contains none of
the fattening elements—carbonaceous
—which is not the case with the two
vegetable substances. To procure the
necessary nitrogen from cottonseed the
Juen would while appropriating the ni
trogen also consume a large proportion
of carbon, or t'at. But cottonseed meal
is excellent, however, and may be fed
to chicks or fowls. Add a gill of cot
tonseed meal to the food of 100 small
chicks once a day and the same quanti
ty to the food of six hens. If linseed
meal be substituted twice a week, it
will be an advantage. No food will
take the place of fresh lean meat.”
How to Grow Watermelons.
This is the way an Iowa correspond
ent of Farm, Field and Fireside would
grow watermelons: Select a rich loam
—sandy loam is best—and dig holes
six feet each way or in one long row
and put a shovel of well rotted manure
in each hill, covering with two inches
of dirt. Plant about a dozen seeds in
each hill, covering one inch deep. Plant
from the Gth to the 10th of May. Soon
after planting these, say five or six
days, plant a hill between each two of
the first ones. These will come up
about the time the bugs show up gen
erally, and they will not touch the first
vines, blit will destroy the second
planting. Should the bugs come early
and attack the first vines they are ail
gone before the others are up.

ATTRACTIVE
FEATURES
OF THE
ATLANTA
Semi-Weekly Journal.
In addition to its superb news ser
vice, covering the world at large
and the southern states in partic
ular, The Semi-Weekly Jonrnal has
many attractive, entertaining and
instructive features, invaluable for
southern homes and farms.
An Aid to Earlinean.
One way in which a gardener may
gain a little advance in earliness of
vegetables, especially of heat lovers
like beans, cucumbers and that class,
EARTH SHELTER FOR TENDER THINGS,
is to build a soil shelter, as shown in
the accompanying cut from Vick. This
consists merely of drawing up a ridge
of earth to the north or windward side
of the row as protection on the one
hand from raw winds and on the other
to catch the sun heat. The row can be
thrown up with a small plow, care be
ing taken not to have the soil fall over
and cover the seed too deeply.

Brown Rot of Prunes.
Delaware treatment for brown rot of
the prune:
Very early in the spring it will be
well to spray the trees thoroughly with
a solution of copper sulphate, one
pound to 25 gallons of water.
When the fruit buds begin to swell,
spray either with the acetate of copper
solution or the bordeaux mixture.
Just before the first buds open repeat
the latter.
When the bloom begins to shed,
spray with bordeaux mixture.
In ten days or two weeks repeat the
latter.
When fruit begins to color, spray
with the copper acetate solution.
Repeat the latter in a week or ten
days.
Sorghum as Pasture.
As a pasture grass sorghum has been
highly commended. Sorghum has giv
en excellent results as a hog pasture
used in connection with clover and
Spanish peanuts to give a succession of
fresh food. Sheep, hogs and milk cat
tle are especially fond of it. For a
pasture it should be sown very thickly,
and it is a wise policy to sow two or
three fields or parts of fields separate
from each other in sorghum and pas
ture them alternately. Sorghum grows
so rapidly that as soon as the stock is
taken off one field it will within a week
be ready to pasture again.
Stamp Ont Tuberculosis.
Never doctor tubercular stock. The
sooner it is killed and cremated the
better. Whenever a case is found, dis
infect all coops with carboiized white
wash or with a 2 per cent solution of
sulphuric acid. Then air and sun the
premises thoroughly. After you get
started in the sunning and airing busi
ness keep it up daily whenever the sun
shines, and air out all poultry quarters
daily whether the sun shines or not
It only requires attention to such
simple matters, cleanliness, a little el
bow grease and some common sense, to
call a bait to the invading tubercle
germ and diminish the alarming preva
lence of the disease among domestic
poultry. Had we not better stamp this
trouble out for ourselves now? Begin
at once to adopt precautionary and pre
ventive measures and not wait for
state legislation to give poultrydom
tlieir attention with another “be it en
acted,” etc., relative to the tubercle
disease among poultry.—T. P.
Woods in Farm Poultry.
