What Georgia State College of Agriculture Has Accomplished. 1. Built up a student body from prac tically nothing to an enrollment of 350. Increase in attendance over last year 55 per cent. Students instructed at Athens to date, 1,363. 2. Demonstrated the efficiency and value of agricultural education. Un trained farmer earns $5,000: educated farmer earns $50,000 in same length of time. 3. Established short courses for far mers, and boys and girls. One farmer says the short course was worth $500 to him last year. 4. Graduated a group of agricultural leaders. One man netted $4,500 out of his farming operations in 1912 and in troduced a new industry into his com munity. 6. Accumulated $400,000 worth of property at a cost of $100,000 to the State, exclusive of maintenance funds. 6. Reclaimed a worn-out farm. Re ceipts in 1908, $2,575 34; in 1912, $8,- 581.41. Net earnings in 1908, nothing; in 1912, $2,246.96. 7. Demonstrated the practicability and profitable nature of horse-breeding, beef and dairy industries, and hog ranching in Georgia. Example: Dairy herd earnings in 1908, $1,124.44; in 1912, $5,099.44; profit 1912, $1,817.60. 8. Distributed throughout the State 120 head of pure bred live stock, bred on college farm. Called attention of Georgia farmers to the value of I’erch- eron horses and Tamworth hogs as gra zers. 9. Developed Sunbeam cotton. Dis tributed seed largely resistant to an- thracnose in seventy counties of the State. Two planters have grown and sold more than 3,000 bushels of seed to farmers. Was cultivated on 5,000 acres last year at a saving of $20,000 to those growing it. 10. Manufacturing and distributing hog cholera serum at 2 cents per c. c. where price in State was formely 5 cents. Example: Saved $8,000 worth of hogs at a cost of $526; 92 per cent, of treated animals recovered. 11. Has aided materially in the edu cational campaign for the eradication or the cattle tick, which alone prevents Georgia from becoming one of the greatest live stock States in the Union. 12. The dairy industry is being en couraged by personal inspection and ad vice to about 150 dairymen. Some 15 silos and barns were built last year un der the direction of the field agent in dairying. 12J. Poultry husbandry department acts as a clearing-house for farmers and is carrying on many experiments of great economic value to poultry-raisers. Has demonstrated preventable loss of $300,000 annually to Georgia farmers through bad handling and marketing of eggs. 13. Prepared and distributed large number of plans of barns and other farm buildings. Tested out farm machinery and advised farmers how and what to buy. 14. Carries on persona) correspond ence with more than 25,000 Georgia farmers. One man says, “You saved me $50 on corn fertilizers in 1912.” The college pays back its entire cost annu ally through correspondence. 15. Has 25,000 names on the mailing list and has distributed about 640,000 copies of 60 bulletins containing a total of 15,000,000 pages. These bulletins constitute the most valuable and relia ble literature available concerning Geor gia agriculture. 16. Is prosecuting a physical-chemical soil survey in several counties, thus ac quiring knowledge fundamental to the development of a permanent type of agriculture. Our soils contain from 400 to 45,000 pounds of potash per acre foot; others are so acid that it takes 10 tons of lime to correct same. Should farmers be permitted to waste their effort? 17. Organized a press service in co operation with some 175 papers of the State so that the latest and best agri cultural information might be placed each week before 350,000 farmers of Georgia free of cost. 18. Established extension work for farmers in the State of Georgia on such a broad and comprehensive basis that it has won for the institution the confi dence of Georgia farmers. Some con structive work has been done in practi cally ever county of the State. 19. In 1912 817 meetings were held, attended by 101,701 people, involving 121,060 miles of travel. Nearly 700,000 white citizens of the State have been reached by the college in a period of five years through its extension ser vice. 20. Established and promoted boys' and girls’ clubs with a membership of approximately 15,000. The boys grew 400,000 bushels of corn in 1912 at a net profit of $244,000. One girl netted $69.15 on a tenth of an acre in tomatoes. The club work is bringing a new hope and purpose into the rural schools of Geor gia. 21. Established soil test plats in 15 counties of the Stute to determine the specific deficiencies of Georgia soils and ascertain how these can be overcome economically. Area under test covers 54 acres ahd contains 3,240 plats. 22. Directed attention of farmers to lime ns soil amendment. Lime on cow- peas increased yield of hay by 1,350 pounds per acre, at a cost of $2.50; in creased yield of corn by 16 bushels per acre. 23. Maintained demonstration field for study of cereal, corn and cotton breed ing, soil improvement through the use of legumes, crop rotations and fertili zers. Has shown practicability of in creaaing yield of corn from 11 to 100 bushels per acre, and of cotton from one-half to 3 bales per acre. 24. Co-operative work in corn and oat breeding is in progress with several farmers. BeBt strains of corn yield average of 64 bushels per acre; poorest 44 buBhels. Which are you growing? 25. Crop improvement associations have organized in several counties for the encouragement of cereal production. Oats and peas oiler our farmers a rela tively more profitable crop than corn. Thirty bushels of corn, with stover, re sult in over $4 worth more plant food per acre, than 30 bushels of oats with straw. 26. Organized truck and fruit clubs, and is conducting investigations along a variety of lines affecting the welfare of fruit, truck and nut-growers of the State. Example: Ninety-five per cent, of sprayed apples saleable; 5 per cent, of unsprayed saleable. 27. Is carrying on in co-operation with the Central of Georgial railway a series of 40-acre test farm3 which have dem onstrated most effectively the practica bility of scientific methods of cultiva tion advocated by the college. On six of these small (one man, two mule,) farms, the pioflt in 1912 totaled $3,034,- 71. Money was lost on many of the ad joining farms. 28. Is conducting in conjunction with the farmers' co-operative demonstration work of the U. S. Department of Agri culture the farm demonstration work now in progress in Georgia, the results of which are enabling the farmers to prepare for and fight the boll weevil suc cessfully, are so wall known as to make additional comment unnecessary. 29. Number of corn demonstrators in 1912—300 in 60 counties; acreage, 15,- 000; yield, 35 buBhels or three times av erage of State. Number cotton demon strators in 1912—30Q in 60 counties; acreage 12,000; yield 1,250 pounds seed cotton, or three times average of State. 30. Extension service of college brings, as a result of co-operation with various bureaus of U. S. Department of Agri culture, about $60,000 of Federal money into Georgia which would otherwise not be secured. 31. The institution is encouraging re search in every possible way, and to this end has organized post-graduate courses. It thus stands to-day as a bea con light to Georgia farmers, empha sizing and pushing forward with the ut most vigor the agricultural trinity—in struction, research, and extension-dem onstration work. 32. The institution enjoys a national reputation and its professors and grad uates alike aro in great demand. It rep resents the dynamo generating that great energizing, intellectual force alone capable of conserving and redirecting the effort of the farmers of Georgia and developing within the State a per manent type of agriculture. Its stu dents and professors are the live wires carrying the all-powerful constructive truthBof nature out through the exten sion service to the people of the State. 33. Serving acceptably the interests of a State, the future of which centers in agricultural development und which has a population of 2,650,000 people, iB indeed a stupendous undertaking. The State can expend no money calculated to return so large a premium as the small pittance the college seeks for the efficient maintenance and expansion of its work. The facts presented prove the truth of this statement. 34. A conservative estimate based on the foregoing figures shows that the college through educational and exten sion-demonstration agencies is adding at least $5,000,000 annually to the wealth of the State. Who can estimate justly the influence exerted on the in tellectual development of the people as a whole? 35. The college only seeks an oppor tunity to lead this great forward move- meet in agricultural development in Georgia. A War That is Madness. Now York World. Germany has run amuck. There ia no other explanation of the Kaiser’s policy in forcing a general European war. Fortunate it is that Great Britain is compelled to cast her sword into the balance without further loss of time. The issue is now joined. Either Ger man autocracy must ho crushed, or European democracy will he oblitera ted. There is no middle course. If the forces that the Kaiser has loosed are victorious, the map of European repub licanism mny as well be rolled up, and the American people prepare to make the last great stand for democracy. All Continental Europe that is not Rus sianized will be Prussianized. France will be reduced to the status of a third- rate power. Belgium, Holland and Denmark will fall successively into the maw of Gorman Imperialism. Italy will become a vassal state, the sun will have set upon the British empire as well, and the mailed fist of the conqueror will make ready to strike the final blow at democracy in the New World. The course of the German govern ment during the last week cannot he reconciled with any theory of political sanity. Wantonly and deliberately the Kaiser has plunged his sword into the heart of civilization. The whole world is paying the penalty of his madnesa, neu trals as well as belligerants. Upon the American people alone, three thousand miles from the scene of conflict, is lev ied a tribute of millions of dollars a day in disorganized commerce, disorganized industry and disorganized finance, and the final reckoning that must be paid for this maniacal onslaught of German autocracy defies calculation. The hu man imagination is staggered ns it faces the inevitable consequences of this supreme achievement of paranoia. It is still possible to sympathize with the German people in the great tragedy that ha's overtaken them, with their backs to the wall fighting a more pow erful coalition than ever Napoleon faced. But there cun be only one an swer to the Kaiser’s challenge to Eu rope. German autocracy lias made it self the enemy of mankind. Its de struction will be the emancipation of the Gorman people themselves as well as the salvation of European republi canism. A Pathetic Incident. Mucnn Nowh. There is a touch of the pathetic in the cable dispatch from Baris about a gendarme admonishing the former Em press Eugenie against plucking a flower in the garden of the Tuilieries, where once she reigned in splendor second only to that which was associated with the throne of the first Napoleon. This aged lady, now in her eighty- eighth year, visits her beloved France once a year, spending several weeks there under an assumed name in an out-of-the way hotel. Dressed in deep black she goes inconspicuously about the streets and parks. This week she strolled into one of the public gardcnB and stopped to pick a budding rose, only to be halted by a guard, who warned her against thiB trespass. Asking her name, ho wbb little wiser when she re plied simply, "Eugenie,” Yet there was a time when Eugenio was a name to he conjured with. The granddaughter of an American consul to Spain, the daughter of a Spanish grandee who fought with Napoleon, she is the last remaining link that connects the Napoleonic dynasty with the pres ent era. Though born six years after the Emperor’s death, she married hiB nephew and for nearly twenty years occupied the throne whereon Marie An toinette, Josephine and Maria Louisa had sat. The rise of Josephine iB no stran ger and no more meteoric than was the advancement of this Spanish senorita, whose whim it waB that led to the war between France and Prussia, resulting in the shameful humiliation of the latter. Well might we exclaim, “How the mighty have fallen,” when we read of a policeman taking the former Empress of France to task for breaking a (lower, and yet there is no satisfaction to be gained out of the incident. Rather, it stirs our pity, and awakens a keen sym pathy for this old woman, whose state was once so great. - - ■ 4- - — A colored woman went to the pastor of her church recently to complain of the conduct of her hushund, who, she Haid, was a trifling, worthless, low- down nigger. After listening to a long recital of the specific delinquencies of her neglectful spouse and her efforts to correct them, the minister said: “Have you ever tried heaping coals of fire upon his head?” Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. New York Times. No gentler, kindlier, sweeter soul ever passed from earth than that which left it yesterday. In the womanhood of the White House Americans have al ways taken pride; each of its mistresses has illustrated some admirable phase of the American woman, and Mrs. Wilson illustrated that of love for others. To coll her charitable would be to use a debased word and convey the idoa of a mere money-giver; her charity was that" which longs to bind up the wounded and mend the broken; which finds the greatest joy of life in seeing tears turn to smiles. Not only did { the sight of pain and suffering in others trouble her, but the idea that it might cxiBtl some-' where and she not know it, troubled her; and she was never easy until she had hunted for it, found it, and relieved it. She rejoiced in becoming mistress of the White House only because It would give her more power to help oth ers, and before she had learned her wav down Pennsylvania avenue she was hunting for the alley slums of Wash ington, to see whom she could help. It was characteristic of her, though she would have seen nothing worthy of re mark in it, that her dying thoughts were for the passage of a bill she had advocated making life easier for the slum dwellers, and the Senate passed it, to make her last moments happier. They could have done nothing surer to achieve that end. Her elevation and her husband’s changed neither her manner nor her ways —a manner of unaffected simplicity and ways of the woman of the home. The President has said that it was sometimes difficult for him to’Jrealize that he was President; certainly she never seemed to renlize that any change had come into her life which should al ter in the least her demeanor or her aims. It was merely a change from one town to another, that was all. Sim ple, unpretending, thoughtful ofjevery- body but herself, her courtesy||wbb not a thing of etiquette, but the natural expression of her nature. The White House is haunted with memories of many gracious women, and hers among them will he the memory of a sunbeam.

Napoleon’s Son. 1,’Echo do Paris has revived the ro mantic sentiment to bring from Vienna the remains of the Due de Iteichatadt. otherwise called the king of Rome, (and in the drama, “L’Aiglon,” the Eaglet), for burial in the tomb of his father, the great Napoleon. This poor boy, who was baptized Na poleon Francis Joseph Charles, was the son of Napoleon 1. and Marie Louise, archduchesB of Austria. He was born on March 20. 1811, in Paris, at thejpal- ace of the Tuilieries, and was named King of Rome in his cradle. Impatient of all restraint, he died largely a vic tim of physical excesses, July 22, 1832. He wus called by the Bonapurtists Na poleon II. Napoleon abdicated in favor of his son, hut events prevented the reign of Napoleon II. from being more than one of mere title. When Napoleon was on his first exile in Elba his wife and child went to Vienna, where they remained during the hundred days that preceded Waterloo in 1815, despite ef forts by the ltonapartists to carry the boy to his fattier at Paris. The title of Duke of Iteichatadt was conferred on this little prince on July 28, 1818, and Napoleon, then a prisoner at St. He lena, who once said that he would pre fer that his son Hhould he strangled rather than brought up as an Austrian prince, had lived to see that son hearing a rank inferior to that of the Austrian archdukeH. The title of Duke of Reich- stadt was derived from lands in north ern Bohemia. “No, she replied, hot water.” ‘but l done tried Whenever You Need a General Tonic Take Grove’s The Old Standard Grove’s Tasteless chill Tonic is equally valuable ns a General Tonic because it contains the well known tonic propertiesof QUININE and IRON.
