Early Maturing Varieties Of Cotton 4 f By Roy E. Last, Junior, Prof of Agron., In Charge of Cotton Industry, Geor gia State College of Agriculture. In the following table varieties of eotton are given which are classified as early maturing, according to the yield of seed cotton obtained on the College tp.st farm at the first and sec ond pickings combined, which was 5 1-2 months from date of planl ing. Those classed as early produced at the rate of 1,000 pounds or more per acre. Name of Variety Yield Per j I Acre in j Pounds.

It will be noted from this table that a bale of cotton at 18c per pound in 1917 will buy no more home and farm supplies than would a bale of cot ton at 12c per pound in 1914. It is interesting to note the distinct correlation between early maturity and early fruiting. In only one instance I was there a difference of more than l ten days in the appearance of the first | bloom on the varieties tested. As they j all began blooming between July Ist | and July 10th and were all picked cit j the same day, it is obvious that the ; varieties which produced ilie most coi | ton at first picking set its fruit most rapidly. A most striking difference in I this respect was shown between two varieties, College No. 1 and Webber’s, a variety which did not qualify as early maturing, both of which produced their first bloom July 3rd. Yet when the first picking was made ten weeks later, the former variety produced 907 pounds of seed col ton per acre, where as the latter produced only 107 pounds, In other words, College No. 1 produced exactly 800 pounds more seed cotton per acre at first picking than did the other named variety, all hough they both started blooming the same day. It is not impossible that some of the bolls on the latter variety were partially grown and not open on date of picking, hut if it had been true, it would be of no advantage to the variety since it would increase the chances of injury from disease and insects, and would be very objectionable from the farm ers’ standpoint since it would delay picking until late in the season and probably prevent the early destruction of the stalks in the fall. These facts are of incalculable value to farmers who are growing cotton in the presence of the boll weevil, and should be considered when choosing the seed of a variety to plapt under these conditions. The table also shows the percent of the total crop which was matured at the time of ihe second picking, 5 1-2 months from date of planting. tied in your mind.

State College Of Agriculture The question of fertilizing land on which velvet beans were grown last year will depend considerably on the disposition made of the velvet bean crop. The usual practice is to graze cattle and hogs on the crop in the field until late winter or early spring, and then turn under the residue. Where this is done the greater part of the fertilizing value In the crop Is e turned to the land. Very often the beans are harvested, and cattle grazed on the vines and beans that were not picked, and where this is done, a part of the fertilizing value of the crop is lost. The velvet bean is a rank grower. Especially is this true in the southern part of the state, where the growing season is long. The bean is legumi nous ar.d gathers much nitrogen from the air, which is stored in the plant, and if it is returned to the soil in the manner stated above, the soil will be enriched thereby. Under these con ditions a great deal of nitrogen is not required in the fertilizer used under the following crop. Acid phosphate can, however, be used to good advan tage, and if it is desired to rush the along very fast, *cne or two per cent of nitrogen in the fertilizer can be used, such as a 10-2, or 12-2 mix ture. One of the greatest benefits derived j from the velvet bean crop is the or ganic matter, or humus, which it adds : to the soil, when the residue is turned ! under, as above stated. This greatly j improves all of our soils. Stop The “Big Leak” $1,000,000 A MONTH SPENT FOR HORSES AND MULES CAN BE SAVED. By M. P. JARNAGIN, Professor Of Animal Husbandry, Georgia State College Of Agriculture. Six years ago the animal husbandry division of the State College of Agri culture, at Athens, purchased a pair of high grade Percheron mares for $470.u0. These animals have done regular team work for six consecutive seasons, and considering their extra value for heavy hauling, it is believed they have been worth as much in ac tual farm work as any pair of mule.-, owned by the farm. The idea of securing this team was to demonstrate that farm workstork could be produced at home, and the “big leak” of $1,000,000 a month for the purchase of northern raised horses and mules was useless waste, in the six years these animals have raised eight, foals. Seven of them were sold, in the main as colts, for the sum total of $1,100.00, and one filly retained on the farm. It is thus demonstrated that the by-product of a pair of brood mares is a very valuable asset to the owner. The mares are still sound and are good workers, and both are again safe in foal. It will be noticed tfeis is a striking contrast to the showing made by the average pair of mules, purchased for the same amount of money, when it is remembered the mares in addition to doing the work of a pair of mules, have much more than twice overpaid for themselves in the sale of colts. The mares* were taken out of work 10 days tu 2 weeks before the foals were born and were returned to work when the colt-was 10 days old. By breeding the mares so as to drop the colts before the rush of spring v. rk, this loss of time is negligible i,. il-c cuyrse of the year’s work. There are more than 50,000 mares in the State of Georgia which should Le producing foals at the "present time. Kerry one of the entire number should be bred to sound registered draft stal lions, or to big honed, strong jacks. The C liege has assisted in creating a greater interest in livestock produc tion in the State titan ever before. Much assistance has been rendered citizens in the location of purebred animals, and in the formation of clubs in various communities for the pur chase and cooperative use of purebred sires. Plant A Home Garden and Orchard T. H. McHATTON, Prof. Horticulture, Ga. State College Of Agriculture There are 1100,000 farms in Georgia. If each farm had a home garden and made $25.<0, it would return a profit of over $7,000,000.00 to the state. If each home orchard trade SIO.OO, it would mean a profit of $3,000,000.00 to the state. The College lias records of home gardens of one-twentieth of an acre that produced $25.00 net last year. This Is at the rate of $500.00 per acre. We have records of small home orch ards that netted from SIO.OO to $15.00 last year. This is not an excessive rec ord from a home orchard. The boll weevil has arrived. The successful farmer who expects to pros per under boll weevil conditions must live at home. The home orchard and home garden are important factors In the bo!! weevil fight, Do not neglect either. Use Of Patented Stock Feeds Not Necessary j ‘CORN-CRIB” CROSS IS THE BEST CONDITIONER GOOD FEED AND ATTENTION WILL KEEP LIVE STOCK HEALTHY. By DR. W. M. BURSON, Professor Of Veterinary Medicine, Georgia State College Of Agriculture Condition powders and patented i stock feeds are sold in large quantities I by traveling salesmen and merchants. They are widely advertised in most 1 farm papers. Extravagant claims are j often made for the powders, that they 1 will cure various diseases, regulate the I system, purify the blood, etc. Scien tific analysis shows that these special feeds for the main part consist of various amounts of oil meal, grain, meal, etc., with the addition of a few tonic drugs, the use of which all live stock owners should understand. If the animals have good teeth, a variety of grain and roughage in suffi cient quantity, access to salt and a plentiful supply of clean pure water they will keep in good condition. In vestigations carried out at many of the Experiment Stations in the United States and foreign countries demon strate the failure of the patented prep arations to do all the manufacturers claim for them. In no case has their use decreased the cost of the ration, and in no case has their use cheapened the cost of the product, whether it be beef, pork, mutton, wool, butter or eggs, In many cases ihe use of condimental feeds has proved detrimental, as they increased the expense of feeding and lessened the gains of animals receiving them in the ration. It may appear in some instances that the use of stock foods or egg producers are beneficial, as improved condition of animals or poultry is fre quently to be observed after the prep arations have been faithfully used for some length of time. It must be ob served, however, that the directions usually require the preparation to he given “three times a day on grain or chopped feed.” If just as much atten tion is paid to the regular feeding of the stock all the time, as when pro prietary feeds and tonic powders are being used, there will he little need for worry on account of “run down con dition,” “weak digestive powers.” “bad blood” and other kindred ail ments. Preparation and Fertil ization Of The Orchard T. H. McHATTON, Prof. Horticulture, Ga. State College Of Agriculture The man who has a covet crop on ;iis orchard this year is lucky, for it has prevented a great deal of wash ing during the rainy season of the winter, and, w hen turned under, which should be done in March, will add hu mus and make a more friable and wa ter-holding soil for the coming crop season. The orchard should be plowed during March. Where it has been plowed from year to year, the plow ing should be from 6 to 8 inches deep. Plow it in the opposite direction this year from that plowed last year. This, of course, has reference to level orch ards. Where the trees are set on ter races, the plowing, of course, is done in the same direction each year. Disc with a twm-horse disc as soon after plowing as convenient. Fertilizer should then be applied. With potash costing as much as it does, the orchard fertilizer should be 100 pounds of cottonseed meal, or some other nitrogen carrier as sul phate of ammonia, or nitrate of soda. Mix the 100 pounds of cottonseed meal with 200 pounds of acid phosphate. Where nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia is used, mix with 400 pounds of acid phosphate, and from 500 to 700 pounds of this mixture should be ap plied broadcast per acre and disced in as soon after as possible. The orchard should then be kept in shape by going over it with a spring tooth or spike tooth harrow every ten days or two weeks. The time to sow' the cover .crop is in the late summer. Bot Fly Of The Horse By Dr. W. M, BURSON, Professor of Veterinary Medicine, Georgia . State College Of Agricul ture, Athens, Ga. The mature bot fly of the horse closely resembles a honey bee. During hot weather the remale fly deposits eggs tn the hairs of the neck, breast and legs of horses and mules. The eggs are cemented tightly arid are quite difficult to remove. The eggs hatch, and the larvae crawl on the surface of the skin causing a tickling sensa tion. /The horse or mule licks itself, and the larvae are transferred to the mouth and are then swallowed with food. Upon reaching the stomach, they attach themselves to the mucous membrane lining by means of hooklets with which the heads are armed. They remain in this location for about 10 months and gradually reach their maxima growth. Having attained full growth they release their hold and pass through the intestines to the ground with the manure. An earthy coccoon forms around them and they lie dormant for a time, finally emerg ing from (he coccoon as fully develop ed adult files. If horses and mules are constantly supplied with salt the in festation of the stomach is kept at a minimum.
