SUCCESS WITH
COTTON-PLANT
Plan of State College to Broad
en the Knowledge of the
Planter .
By PROF. R. J. H. DeLOACH.
Editor’s Noto:
The State College of Agriculture has
lately established n professorship In
“Cotton Industry,” with Prof. R. J. H.
DeLoach in charqe. The standards for
cotton have been made abroad in tho
past, and no effort has been mado a to
give to the people of Georgia, includin'
tho students of the Stato College ©
Agriculture* an adequate conception
of the cotton plant and how it may bo
improved through selection. It la be
lieved the establishment of this chair
marks an epoch in the agricultural edu
cation in this state. The following ar
ticle i* published in order that those
interested in the production, handling
and manufacture of cotton may under
stand the attempt the college is mak
ing to benefit the greatest agricultural
interest of the state.
ATHENS, Ga., Nov. 15—The most
Imposing phase of agriculture In the
south la the Question of successfully
growing and marketing cotton. No
one can fall to see the Importance of
diversified fanning and 6t southern
manufacture, but other parts of the
world raise many crops cheaper than
we do, and it does not prove economi
cal for us to raise many kinds of pro
duce for mnfket. Of the 18,000,000
bales of cotton raised by all tho world,
we raise IS,000,000 bales, and no dcuot.
wo shall always be the great cotton
growers of tho world. But In view of
the fact that tho labor problem Is
growing more rerlous every year, v/e
must concern ourselves with some
means of Improvement In our meth
ods of growing cotton, by which great
er results can be obtained on fewer
acres. This demand Is upon U3. and
we must work out the plan to meet It.
Cotton mills are being built in the
south more rapidly than ever before,
Indicating tho ec-onomv of manufac
turing goods at home. Home manufac
ture will not prove economical, how
ever, until we shall have made a thor
ough study of the cotton plant and
fiber, nnd put forth every effort to
grow specific varieties for the manu
facture of special commodities.
Training for Cotton Culture.
This department of the State Col
lege of Agriculture will emphnslzo the
Importance of specific training for suc
cessful cotton growing. Tho Idea of
more cotton on fewer acres has been
talked a great deal, but no very valu
able suggestions other than those of
fertilisation nnd cultivation have boon
made. The farmers need to Unftw Just
how this can be done without adding
any coat. Boys who register for this
course of Instruction will have privi
leges and ampin facilities, for Inves
tigating: first, the principles of cot
ton Improvement both by selection am
breeding: second, the exact demnnds
of the cotton mills: and third, relaUv-
values of different varieties of long
staple nnd upland cottons to supply
those demands.
Course of Study In Cotton Grading,
Wo shall offer a courso of study In
cotton grading nnd Judging so that' a
student who grnduntes In the course
can safely and accurately buy cotton
for both mills and for merchants.
Most men who buy cotton In the
south now are men who have been
trained only In the markets, and hence
get only thoso Idens about Judging
and grading that havo long been In
vogue. It seems to us thnt this kind
of training does not meet tho demnnds
of the time, nnd hence every effort
has been mnde to get a course of In
struction that will enable us to save
In the mills and on the farm. The
buyer Is responsible for much of tho
misunderstanding between the mill
and the grower.
Practical Helps.
It Is our purpose to show the vari
ation Jn the strength of fiber of the
different varieties of upland nnd long
staple cottons by the use of a fiber-
testing machine. Nothing if of nun
value to the farmer than a knowledge
of the reasons why one variety of
cotton Is better and Is better suited
for certain purposes than nnother. Wo
j usually overlook the fact that all cot-
I ton products are made of many single
fibers, nnd their quality depends on
the qunllty of the single fiber. When
! our greatest expectations are realised,
! nnd Ideal conditions preyall, each
I former will be growing cotton for a
specific purpose, and will know why
It fulfills that purpose. One will be
growing special cotton to be sold for
making sewing thread, another for
making lawns, and so on through the
whole list of products. Then, the
use of the cotton would be determined
by the grower, because ho knows Just
what •ertaln varieties will make, and
he knows how to keep the variety up
to a certain standard.
It has been found that much of the
loss Incurred In the field and^nt the
factory Is traceable to disease jp cot
ton. nnd hence an effort will be mnde
to show the Importance of selecting
plants that sro most resistant to dis
ease.
Farmers of Stats Capable.
The farmers of the state are capable
of understanding and doing theso
things, and now for the first time In
Its history has tho State College of
Agriculture undertaken to offer
courses of study leading to such work.
It Is evident that education In Geor
gia has led away from, Instead of to
the farm, heretofore, and fargefy be
cause the boys learn more about other
read at the union cohference of tho
Congregational churches of Boston and
vicinity, the Rev. G. L. Cady, of .
Dorchester, declared that the Puntai. things, and how to do other things
stock Is committing race suicide. better than they learn how to farm.
"I find.” he said, “flfty-slx churches j p f aC | t t*,ey seem to get the Idea
which bqast of a single child each for that everything is a profession or a
last year, and sixty-three which re
ported twins each.”
His figures allowed twenty-three
churches which, with a combined mem
bership of 7,494. with 7.276 in tho Bum
into the kingdom of (lod.
"Congregational families,” he said,
"have ceased to'perpetuate themtolves.
The days when the family came to
church and filled one or two pews, as
In our youth, are gone, and in their
place we look In vain for the children
In the church or In the home.
“The Catholic church has a great
army of children coming up each yoar,
native born, and the priest knows Just
what he can count upon for confirma
tion each year and he knows that next
year there will be just as large a crop
to harvest
"I have no doubt that,- things being
equal. If there were as many children
born lu Congregational as In Catholic
families, we would today witness as
great a proportionate native growth
and front the future with a calm faco.

Tn order to become a successful

ness college and study hookkeeolng
until he learns the principles. It Is
equally* essential that a man-make a
special study of cotton growing and
Improvement to succeed In the work.
Spanish Nobility.
Tn an entertaining article on the
Spaniards scorn for the fore’gner and
his little Indulgence In International
marrfage*. attention h*s been drawn
to the curious fact that In the days
when the Spaniards warred against
their conquerors, the Moors, It wss
the custom of the Spanish kings to
confer hereditary nobility on the pop-
ul.it Ions, en masse, of towns, cities and
even provinces, which had made nota
bly excellent stands against the con
quering Moslems. As a result of th;s
rather eccentric course of conduct. It
Is surprising that, down td this day,
every Spaniard believes - himself de
scended from the nobility*.
MUNSON TALKS
OF PROSPECTS
PRESENT RAILROAD CONDITIONS
DISCUSSED*BY VICE PRESIDENT
OF THE GEORGIA SOUTHERN
AND FLORIDA.
Vice President and General Manager
J. B. Munson of the Georgia South
ern and Florida railway Is optimistic
over the business outlook for the com
ing winter season.
"Just now,“ he says, “the trade Is
not as heavy as it might be, but It H
picking up steadily, and will improve
■till more when the saw mills through,
out the state commence operations.
There is at present a dearth of lumber
shipments. However, one of the most
encouraging signs is the large number
of inquiries received dally from all
classes of trade, and from these vre
Judge that there will be a marked In
crease In the freight traffic within
the next sixty days.
“The GeOV-gla Southern and Florida
Is handling a great deal of the orange
and fruit shipments from Florida, this
service necessitating tho recent put
ting on of new and Improved sened-
ules. We are doing everything pos
sible to rush the shipments north. A
freight now- leaves Jacksonville every
morning at 10:30 o'clock, arriving In
Macon at 3:30 o'clock the following
morning, tho trip requiring seventeen
hours. This Is one of tho fastest
freight train schedules now In opera
tion anywhere In the »:outh, and Is ono
greatly appreciated by the fruit and
Vegetable growers of Florida.
‘ "1 am glad to say that business with
the Georgia Southern and Florida while
not heavy or exceedingly .good,
has been sufficient to warrant the re
employment of about fifty men, and
that the shops have resumed their
usual working basin. No new con
structive work Is progress, but much
repairing, wherever It Is needed. Is be.
lng don* all along the line. The roll
ing stock—engines, freight cars and
passenger coaches—are In tip-top shape
anfl arc constantly augmented and im
proved."
Mr. Munson looks with Interest on
tho contemplated extensions of the
Georgia anti Florida and of other roads
within tho stato.
