In the deep heart of every forest
tree
The blood is all aglee,
And there’s a look about the leaf
less bowers
As if they dreamed of flowers.
February is the month of Birth
days. Among February’s great men
are Washington, Lincoln, Dickenr,
Alexander H. Stephens, Sidnncy La
nier, Henry W. Longfellow, Henry
Watterson, and Thomas Edison.
And it was on February 12, 1733
that Oglethorpe landed at Yamacrow
Bluff and laid the foundation of this
great Empire State of ours.
And in February when we live a
gnin St. Valentines Day, forever
famous for the unselfishness and
love of its founder, we leel that even
though this is the shortest month, it
is one of the biggest of all.
And with the golden blossoms of
the jonquils beginning to nod a wel
come on our lawns, we feel a thrill
of joy as springtime again approach
es. a. mm
* f* ,
And with the encouragement of
our friends, a number of whom have
come in with renewals and words of
appreciation, we are made to feel
how great it is to work with people
day after day and year after year.
Why not be a booster in your town
instead of a knocker? r I here is al
ways room for those who boost, when
oftentimes those who never find any
thing: to commend are those who do
nothing: towards community develop
ment.
POSSIBILITIES ON A
GEORGIA FARM
In Southern Cultivator
“Twelve bales of cotton with one
mule. ”
“Forty bales of cotton from forty
acres.”
“More cotton now than before tire
weevil came ”
These facts were obtained from
the following article taken from the
Southern Cultivator.
“On January the 26th we went to
we Yancey Swanson and his two
sons, H. H. and .). A. Swanson,
who live in Fayette county, out five
miles east of Fairburn, Ga. Mr.
Swanson lias long held the reputation
of being a very successful farmer.
But the best thing is that his sons
hnve taken such an interest in farm
ing ns will insure their being just as
successful farmers in tl.eir day ns
their father has been in his. At this
time when so many young men arc
seeking to leave the farm and are
taking any job that they can secure
in the cities, it is indeed refreshing
to find two young men taking the
deep interest in farming that H. H.
and J. A Swanson art taking.
Making M oney
The beauty of the whole matter is
that they are making good crops and
hence good money. Hr. Swanson
Stated to us, ‘We are making more
cotton than 1 made before the boll
weevil appeared, because we ar# us
ing more fertilizer an 1 doing better
work.’ They gathered forty bales of
cotton last fall from forty acres of
land. They believe in poisoning, us
ing the liqv'd while the cotton is
yceng and duuug wkti the
Js mature. k • •
“Cotten is not the only crop that
they grow successfully, they always
have fine seed corn tr sell and grow
good crops of Irish and sweet pota
toes. They believe in high-class
seed, planting Wannaraaker-Cleve
land Cotton Seed, Marlboro and
Garrick Corn. They take great pains
to keep their cotton seed pure, hav
ing the gins well cleaned and ginning
their crop at one time, so as to avoid
mixing from the gin rolls. The boys
haVe purchased four large young
mules and they take a just pride in
all their work stock. Tney are taking
a keen interest in everything that
pertains to the farm and are deter
mined to carry out every detail that
will insure them a good crop.
Mix Own Fertilizer*
“They believe in buying the ingre
dients and mixing the>r own fertili
zers. Last year they used a 10-6-4,
buying sulphate of amonia as the
source of nitrogen. They were very
dry during August, as were the rest
of our state, but their cotton fruited
to the top. We have rarely seen
stalks so ideally developed. Any
young man can succeed at farming
who will devote the same energy and
skill that the two young Swanson
brothers are doing.
12 Bales With One Mule
“J. A. Swanson made 12 bales
of cotton last year with one mule.
Some tenants on adjoining land only
m?de this amount with six mules.
This clearly shows the wide differ
ence in efficient and inefficient farm
ing. There is not a man in the city
with a salary of $200.00 per month
that can show as much clear money
as J. A. Swanson male on his one
horse farm.
“More In the Man”
“Still thousands will tell vou that
there is no money in farming. It
all depends upon the class of farm
ing that you do. ”

“I could not work. My .. .

I have gained ten pounds and

TIME OF APPLYING NITRATE OF
SODA TO COTTON
P.esults of 56 tests conducted in
Georgia in 1224, whore 200 pounds
Nitrate per acre was applied in ad
dition to the regular fertiliizer: On
31 of these toots the Nitrate was ap
plied at or just before planting time,
and on t : <e remaining 25. the Niitrate
was applied as a side application.
The increase of Seed Cotton due ti
Nitrate when applied a + , or just be
fore, planting time was 301.4 pounds
per acre. Where the Nitrate was ap
plied as a side application the in
crease was 221.5 pounds Seed Cot
ion per acre. This gives vs ad f
lerence of 79.9 pounds Seed Cotton
per acre, in favor of the planting
time application; and with Seed
Cotton figured at 9 cents per pound,
we get $7.19 more money return
per acre. This difference amounts
to 799 pounds of Seed Cotton per
ton of Nitrate of Soda. If valued at
9 dents per pound, it amounts ho
$71.90, or more than the cost of a
ton of Nitrate of Soda.
Report’ from all over the Cotton
belt lead us to believe that there is
a larger number of Weevils in hiber
nation this winter than ever before
in the history of the weevil. So it is
very important to get the Nitrate un
der your cotton at planting time, for
it is the planting time application
that sets your fruit early, and pro
duces the heavy bottom crop.

FEBRUARY POULTRY SUGGES
TIONS
Order baby chicks early, says D.
H. Hall, Clemson’s extension poultry
husbandman, in urging that if orders
for eggs and chicks are not already
placed, the matter be attended to at
once. Increased interest in poultry
is bringing heavy orders in to the
hatcheries and those who want quick
service should place their orders. Mr.
Hall advises that all baby chicks
should be hatched by the last of A
pril. Those who don’t watch will be
left ©ut of the rftce. Those who do
not know where to place orders for
baby chicks er where to buy hatch
ing eggs should write their state col
lege for advice on the matter.
Mr. Hal! urges more purebred
poultry. There are reasons why. Pure
breds will produce a more uniform
product in less time on less feed and
will bring better prices. Eggs from
purebreds are more uniform as well
as more abundant. But here is, he
says, one word of caution; namely,
purebred poultry must be better
cared for than mongrels. Those who
do net intend to care for purebreds
properly should stick to mongrels,
but given care and attention, pure
breds will repay doubly for it as
compares! with the mongrels.

MALE THE MAIN BIRD
IN POULTRY FLOCK
Winter is the time .o plan for the
spring rush in the poultry business.
In selecting birds for a breeding pen,
one should remember that the male
is the most important individual in
the pen; special attention must be
given to his selection. A poor male
bird is dear at any price.
If one plans to buy a pu retired
male, it should be done at once, for
it is “first come, first served” with
most breeders. And in buying, do
not fir-get to study the pedigree of
the bird being bought:, for “blood will
tell. ”
Individually, the male should have
high constitutional vigor. A bird with
low vitality is poor and undersized,
has a fiat narrow breast, is knock
kneed. has a long narrow head, a
crow bill, dull eyes and a low tail.
Naturally the reverse of these unde
sirable qualities will indicate the
birds that should be selected.
Whether to use cocks or cockerels
depends on circumstances. Cccks
can generally be purchased t less
cost than cockerels of equal quality
and may prove valuable. A good
male should be serviceable f>r four
or five years, if properly cared for
and is not overwored.
If cockerels are to be used, select
the well matured. When the North
Florida breeder makes up his or her
mind to use male birds in the breed
ing pens that are frem ■ trapnested
hens with records of 200 eggs or bet
ter, they will find that the egg pro
duction of their flecks will increase
rapidly.
In brief, then, select the bird —
male or hen—that has a broad, well
rounded breast; broad, full head;
strong, medium length beak; straight
legs carried upright under the body
and set well apart; and alert car
riage; eyes bright and full; and a
high degree of activity generally.
Last but not least, select a bird from
a trap-nested hen with a good record.
