Why not let the boy join the pig club movement? Any boy between the ages of 10 and IS may join. Aside from the interest the boy will take in raising tlie pig, the Influence of proprietorship and value of the con structive work upon his young life, he will find* a good deal of financial encouragement. He may obtain n scholarship to the short course given for boys and girls prize winners, at the State College of Agriculture, where he will get an outlook and in spiration that may mean great things for him. The prizes he may win at the coun ty and state fairs will not only amount to a considerable sum, but the repu tation gained for the animal, If a breeding animal is being used, will make possible fancy prices for the lit ters. In fact, the boy may get his start in life as the result of joining the pig club. To join a pig club and carry out its provisions means that he must keep records of feed, gains In weight, costB of gains and thus begin to learn that successful farming must be done in a business-like way. The organization of a pig club is simple- The school teacher will take the matter of organizing in hand, cir culars of instruction can be obtained from the State College of Agriculture, the club can be enrolled and names sent to headquarters at the College. Information about how to feed, what crops to plant, what kind of pig to buy, etc., can be obtained from the expert in charge whose headquarters in Georgia are at the College of Agri culture at Athens. In fact, everything is made easy for the pig club boy. He will be expected to exhibit at. the fairs and carry his work through in good shape. The boys are showing what they can do in raising corn. Along with it, let the boys show how they can make the best use of corn by feeding it to pigs. Protecting Orchards Against Light Frosts T. H.

An orchard can be protected against light frosts by the smudging method. For this purpose there are smudge pots or orchard heaters on the market. Should these seem too expensive, a good substitute is afford ed by making smudge fires of wet grass, straw, old leaves, primings, etc. About 100 small piles can be placed to an acre, most of them be ing put on the side from which the wind is blowing. The purpose, of course, is to keep the smoke over the orchard. It is important that the smudge fires be used early in the morning before the sun comes up to prevent too rapid thawing out of froz en flowers. As a rule, when the temperature is 33 degrees, and it looks as if the tem perature is going lower, start, the smudge fires. It can not be expect ed that this method will save from severe freezes, but it can be used oc casionally with great profit. Boy’s Profit On Three Acres, $285.49 J. Phil Campbell, State Agent Charge of Club Work, Col lege Of Agriculture In Maurice Crowder, of Walker coun ty, a corn club boy, has demonstrated that he can make a profit of $286.49 on three acres in one season. His crops were corn, cotton, oats and soy beans. On the acre devoted to corn he raised 116.6 bushels at a profit of $75.30. His cotton acre produced 2,- 240 pounds of cotton, from which he made a profit of $36.89. The acre de voted to oats produced 131 1-4 bushels at a profit of $87.90. After the oats had been gathered, the land was dtsc- ed and sown to soy beans. From this crop he gathered 10,614 pounds of dry hay at a profit of $85.41. The total profit from Hie four crops on three acres was therefore $285.49. Soy beans, It will be seen, brought greater returns than any other crop. This crop and the oats preceding made a total profit from one acre $168.31. Thus it will be seen that the corn club boys are capable of growing other crops and a larger acre age and make a success. Increasing The Corn Yield In Georgia Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture Land intended for corn should be thoroughly prepared. Peep plowing to accommodate the deep root system of the plant Is advisable. It is essen tial that organic matter be added to Georgia soils either In the form of green manuring or as barnyard man ure or in the form of leaves and lit ter from the woods, or in compost. This gives not only protection against drouth, but the decay adds humus and plant food. Corn requires a soil rich In nitro gen. One hundred bushels of corn removes from the soil about 15^J pounds of this element. At the time of planting apply not less than 500 pounds per acre of a fertilizer analyz ing four per cent organic nitrogen, 9 per cent, phosphoric acid and two. or three per cent potash. If potash Is not available from Germany, unleach ed wood ashes or cotton seed meal may be of some assistance in this respect. A side application of fertil izer of the same analysis should be made at the rate of about 200 pounds to the acre about six weekB after planting. But if the land is carefully prepar ed and liberally fertilized, it does not follow that there will be a good crop unless the seed are well selected and proper cultivation is given. Obtain seed of a variety that has done well in your locality, test the seed for germination strength and plant seed only from ears showing high record in germination. Give frequent, shallow cultivation till the ear is fully developed. Culti vation is often stopped at the wrong time. Deep plowing during cultiva tion destroys rdbts and does much in jury. It is therefore Important that only shallow cultivation be given and that a mulch be maintained as con stantly as possible between the rows. The Farmer’s Good Friend, “Bob White.” M. M. Nice, Nnrmun, Olila. "Would you allow men to come and shoot your best pullets or your prize turkeys? Toads are estimated to be worth $3 to $5 each to the farmer on account of the injurious insects they eat. A ‘bob white’ destroys twenty- five times us many insects as the toad does in the course of a year. That would bring the price of ‘bob whites’ to fabulous prices—as much as a fine cow or a good horse, but even if you put their value as low ns that of the toad—would you encourage strangers to carry off your best poultry? F. J.” Bob Whites” eat vast numbers of the most injurious insects and weed seeds. Their diet includes ragweed, smartweed, morning glory or bindweed, pigweed, crabgrass and sunflower seed. One quail wus found to have 1,000 seeds of crabgrass in its crop, and another 2,000 seeds during a day. A thousand seeds of ragweed were found in the crop of one "Boh White.” Three hun dred seeds of smartweed were eaten at one meal, and 2,250 seeds during a day. Pigweed is well liked by “Bob Whites." One bird had 400 seeds of this weed in its crop; a tame bird ate 12,000 seeds in one day. Cotton farmers may consider the “Bob White” as one of their beat friends. It eats the cotton worm, cot ton boll worm and cotton boll weevil. Forty-seven of these dreaded weevils were found in one quail’s crop. Grass hoppers, cut-worms, army worms, bean leaf beetles, plant lice, false chinch bugs, ants, striped cucumber beetles, corn hill hugs and chinch bugs are among the injurious insects devoured by "Bob Whites.” One hundred chinch bugs were found in the crop of one quail, and two tablespoonsful of these pestiferous creatures in another. A week-old bird ate 2,326 lice in one day, while an adult bird ate 5,000. One day’s food for another "Boh White” con sisted of 533 miscellaneous insects and 1,000 grasshoppers. By a long series of tests on tame birds I found that a "Bob White" eats abou seven pounds of weed seeds in a year, or 75,000 insects and 5,000,000 weed seeds. If you have a covey of a dozen quail on your farm they will help you to the extent of 900,000 insects and 00,- 000,000 weed seeds each year. Suppos ing, instead of letting this covey be shot, you post your land, keep the birds safe from hunters, cats and dogs, you might easily have five coveys the next year, and these would eat 4,000,000 in sects and 390,000,000 weed seeds. And as the insects would be largely cotton pests, or wheat peBts, or garden pests and the seeds ragweed, morning glory, or others equally as bad, can you afford to let these birds be slaughtered? . If you gare for the happy whistle and sweet ciill noteB of the "Boh White,’ if you want to have your crops protected from their worst ene mies, and your weed pests kept in check, post your land at once, and en force the signs. “Bob Whites” are among the most valuable assets on your farm. HUSBAND RESCUED DESPAIRING WIFE < iter Four Years of Discouraging Conditions, Mrs. Bollock Gave Up in Despair. Husband Came to Rescue. Catron, Ky—In an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: "I suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during this time, I could only sit up for a little while, and could not walk anywhere at all. At times, I would have severe pains in my left side. The doctor was called in, and his treat ment relieved me for a while, but I was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. Pecan Culture In Georgia J. W.
