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.

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. T. H.

R. Dice, North Dakota Agricultural Colhge, 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. —The Progressive Farmer 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. —The ’y;
