CAMPAIGN FOR BETTER
IVESTOCK IN GEORGIA
il :
Andrew M. Soule, President, Georgia
State Coliege Of Agriculture
On November 22, an exhibit of pure
dred livestock and home grown fdod
stuffs was started from the Georgia
State College of Agriculture to travel
-over the state, to make about 200
stops and reach a vast number of
farmers. In this campaign the Col
lege of Agriculture has been joined
by the United States Department of
Agricplture and the Railroads having
lines in the state.
Annpuncgments have been made
public of the exhibiting places. Those
who have yet the opportunity of vis
dting the exhibits and hearing the ex
perts on the subject of livestock rais
ing in Georgia, should make sure of
using it. ‘ :
The purebred and registered live
stock will consist of Jersey, Holstein
dairy cattle, short horn and Hereford
beef cattle, Percheron horses, duroc,
tamwoarth and berkshire hogs. These
have been taken from the College
farm for this tour of the state., They
are to tell their story of what a pure
bred animal is. The speakers will tell
of the importance of introducing such
animals into the foundation of the
livestock industry of this state. Lit
erature will be distributed which has
‘been put out especially for this cam-
Dpaign, .
The home-grown food stuff exhibit
presents in striking and pointed way
what Georgia grows or can grow for
the feeding of livestock. This is a part
of the College exhibit at the State
Fair and has many important lessons
for the Georgia farmer.
Without growing more livestock
Georgia can make no permanent ad
vancement in agriculture. A certain
amount of livestock is necessary to the
economical operation of any system of
agriculture, No other means of con
serving soil fertility is comparable
with that of feeding farm crops and
returning manure to the land. Live
stock, however, can be unprofitable
‘when the wrong methods of feeding
are practiced or w high iced feed
is given to poor :e cage.?’ It is,
therefore, very essential to get good
quality of stock and then know what
is the best home-grown ration.
To help farmers buy at low cost,
'the College and its co-workers pro
pose to help the farmers buy pure
bred animals on a co-operative basis,
assuring the lowest possible cost and
at the same time the best grade of
animal for the money.
This campaign has as its end in
view the welfare of the farmer, noth
ing else. If you are in sympathy with
such a movement lend it your pres
ence and encouragement, if possible.
Substituting Phosphate ‘
- . ‘
Rock for Phosphoric Acid
John R. Fain, Professor Of Agronomy,
Georgia State College Of
Agriculture
On account of the high price of
phosphoric acid, dealers are pushing
rock phosphate as a substitute at this’
time, The farmer must not be misled
into believing that the ground phos
phate rock will become immediately
available like the acid in the produe
tion of crops.
The rock phosphate will give better
results on the second crop tham on
the first one, and, better still, on the
third than on the second. It is the
Ppolicy on the farm of the College of
Agriculture to apply the ground phos
phate rock every three years.
Rock phosphate will prove disap
pointing on many soils of this state
if it is not applied with barnyard ma
nure or with green cover crops turned
under. To get the best results from
ground phosphate rock, it is necessary
that the soil contain considerable or
ganic matter. In this respect, the
soils of Georgia are quite deficient,
hence the necessity of applying the
ground phosphate with barnyard ma
nure or green manures. The ground
rock can be scattered_over the ma
nure as it accumulates each day, or if
green manuring is te be used, it ean
be proadcasted on the field before the
crop is turned under. b
Go After Apple
And Pear Cankers
T. H. McHatton, Professor Of Horti.
culture, Georgia State Col.
"7 lege Of Agriculture‘
Du;ing the winter, go after the ap
ple and pear trees for blight cankers.
Cut out the cankered spots till heal
thy wood ‘'is reached. Make good
clean cuts with a sharp knife, then
paint the wood with a disinfectant
paint, or apply Bordeaux mixture.
These will prevent spores which may
have been left there, from developing
and bringing on next spring the
blight. *
It has been demonstrated that the
blight winters over only in these can
kers and that the sweet exudation
of the cankers attract bees in the
spring, which, in turn, go to the flow
ers of the tree, carrying the spores,
thus spreading the blight over the
twigs of the trees.

| Civics
As chairman. for our club year of
1915-16, I wish to thank all who have
sought to aid our committee in their
work, and to say that while we have
given our program as called for in
our club calenddr, we feel that our
work has really just begun.. - ;
Concerning the floral improvement,
we feel that with the addition to our
department of the floricultural com
mittee, and the inauguration of an
nual chrysanthemum shows, both
conceived and arranged by our capa
ble and efficient president, Mrs. Isi
dor Gelders, that this department of
the civic work has been greatly stim
ulated, and that we will see splendid
results.
We have learned that a large sum
of money is being expended in the
addition to our city of a new reser
voir, which does not render it wise
to ask for water pipes and. hose for
watering our street parks and other
public grounds, but we believe .that
our city council, realizing our needs
along this line, will give us all we
need as soon as they are in position
to do so.
We have learned, aiso, that the
prisoners are kept very busy exca
vating for this reservoir, which ex
plains why more attention has not
been given to keeping our beautiful
streets clean and free from loose
paper and other trash, but that Mr.
R. B. Fletcher, who has them in
charge, is concerned about this and
will give it the attention it deserves
later.
We realize that the board of edu
cation will have to expend a large
sum of money in the erection of new
school buildings this year, hence will
not be in position to aid Dr. Ford in
his splendid work of supplying the
school grounds with equipment for
the promotion of healthful recreation
and it shall be one of the aims of our
committee to aid in this work, also, in
the establishment of municipal play
grounds for the very little tots, in
which Mrs. Carol Wimberly is so
earnestly interested.
We appreciate greatly the offers of
Camp Fire girls and Boy Scouts for
co-operation in civic improvement,
knowing that youth is what we most
need and desire in all our undertak
ings.
Mrs. Lon Dickey, Chairman,
Perhaps no program of the whole
‘chb vear is of so much general in
iterest as the one Wednesday after
‘noon, which was arranged for by Mrs.
Leon Dickey, chairman of the Civic
Department.
‘ Mrs. Dickey began her galk in the
‘interest of civic improvement by giv
ing a humorous definition of the word
degislature, viz: “A legislature is a
body of law makers who know noth
ling at all abogt law”—and said she
would offer alaarody on that in ref
erence to the city council: “The city
council is a body ‘of men who know
mothing concerning our wants unless
we tell them,” and added that she had
this message from the mayor: “You
ladies get together and make known
your wants and they will,be taken
care of.” This was; indeed, most
gratifying.
Mrs. Dickey quoted _this from a
modern writer: “The finest flowers
are those transplanted—for trans
planting means difficulty; a readjust-
Cotton seed has commanded the
highest price on record this season,
and the market has been higher in
Georgia than in any other state. The
government report shows that the
average price in Georgia so far has
been $39.70 a ton. Alabama 1s next
with $39.20. Texas only paid $29.40

cess is a surprise to himself.

ing to new conditions; and thorough
effort put forth to find adjustment,
the plant progress.” He also applied
this law to people, and said that,
“transplanted people are the ones who
do the things worth while.” Mrs.
Dickey said if this be true, we
should be able to do great thingz‘i]n
Fitzgerald for we are all transplanted
people. She then asked Mrs. B
Wall to read a communication from
Mr. W. A. Adams, in which he ex
pressed himself as being very much
interested in a cleaner Fitzgerald, and
asserted his willingness: to assist in
every way that he could in making
it so. He volunteered to have the
government post office site, of which
he is custodian, cleaned of refuse and
kept so.
Dr. Osborne was present and told
of the existing city ordinances on
civic clainliness—their use and abuse.
He mentioned the efforts that were
being and had been continually made
for removing trash from streets and
alleys and stated some of the ob
stacles to be overcome. Dr. Osborne
has always been foremost ‘among
those wotking for the general good
of the community and expressed his
eagerness to do what he could to
further this cause.
Passing from the subject of clean
liness to that of adornment of our
public grounds and vacant spaces with
flowers and shrubbery, Mrs. Dickey
spoke of the lack of proper water
supply at different points and called
on Mr. Tisdel, of the Water and
Light commission, whom she had
asked to be present to tell us if any
thing could be done toward the bet
terment of these conditions.
Mr. Tisdel was much in sympathy
with “the city beautiful” movement
and suggested ways and means of
reaching these spots for the present,
looking toward better facilities in the
future.
Mrs.]J. E. Turner spoke of the ad
visability of making thoughtful selec
tions in the choice of trees when
planting and showed some beautiful
illdstrations of a variety of trees and
rose gardens from all parts of the
United States, with one from the ori
ent, showing a large cherry tree in
full bloom. i
Mrs. Dickey then introduced Dr.
Ford, who addressed the club on
Sotial Happiness and some of the
means by which it could be attained
and maintained. He said it was large
ly within the province of women to
do the things for the uplift of human
ity. He also spoke of the need of
healthful, wholesome amusement for
young people of all ages and hoped
that through combined good agencies,
much might be accomplished in Fitz
gerald. His remarks were both in
teresting and inspiring. They. struck
responsive chords in all h arts.
Mrs. Wimberly came forward with
some very practical ideas regarding
the public playgrounds and the great
need of this equipment here. She also
gave some well founded theories re
garding supervision of playgrounds.
Her talk was most interesting.
Lincoln said: “Die when I may, I
want it said of me by those who knew
me best that I always plucked a
‘thistle and planted a flower, where
I thought a flower would grow.” His
llife bore out his precept even when
used as a figure to apply to higher
’things and in that was worthy of our
emulation.
