Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture To plant something like fifty acres to Bermuda, it is best to undertake to use of sets. Secure a large quan tity of roots, run them through an old cutting box and till a wagon bed. Then scatter them broadcast. Then run a roller over the land so as to press the sets into the soil, if the land has been fallowed and is in good condi tion, the roots will tnke hold and grow more rapidly than would other wise be the case. If the field Is rough and broken, run furrows about three feet apart and drop the sets three to four Inches in the row and step on them in passing so as to press them into the soil.

Irvin, Poultryman, Georgia State College Of Agriculture. Four groups of hens of different breeds have been under a 59-day test, at the College of Agriculture in which the relative cost of feed care and re turns has been figured in terms of a year. Not until a year’s results are obtained, of course, can the actual an nual performance of the birds he known for a year’s period. Thirty Rhode Island Reds, two years old, cost at the rate of $1,10 per year for mash, 40 cents for scratch feed, 50 cents labor or total cost of $2.00. The average number of eggs per year estimated on the 59- day test is 266.45, which at 25 cents per dozen, would bring $5.55, leaving a net profit of $3.55 per lien. A group of SO White Leghorns, two years old, consumed an average of 74 cents in mash per year, 40 cents scratch feed, 50 cents labor, total cost $1.64. Average number of eggs per year 113.SS, value $2.3S, net profit per hen 74 cents. A group of 100 White Leghorn pul lets netted S cents profit per hen. Fifteen Barred Plymouth Rocks, two years old, averaged 74 cenls worth of mash annually, 40 cents scratch feed, labor 50 cents, total $1.64, aver aged 151.47 eggs per year, value $3.15, leaving a not profit of $1.51 per year per hen. The birds used in the test were all healthy, pure bred stock, kept in good houses, given plenty of fresh wa ter and food, and otherwise well man aged. The feed in the test consisted of dry mash of the following materials and parts, corn meal 4, bran 6, shorts 6, alfalfa meal 5, beef scraps 1, cotton seed meal 2, clipped oats 2. The scratch feed is made as follows : Cracked corn 2, oats 1, wheat 1. The mash is fed in hoppers and birds eat at will. The scratch feed is fed in deep litter, one handful to ten hens in the morning and twice as much in the evening. They are given a small amount of green food daily, lawn clippings, winter cover crops, etc., which have not been charged in the above accounts. Summer School Work In Agriculture John R. Fain, Professor of Agronomy, Ga. State College Of Agriculture. In connection with the Summer School for Teachers conducted at Hie University of Georgia, June 28th-July 31, a course will be offered in agri culture, one part of which is designed to meet the needs of teachers in ele mentary grades of tho public schools and the other for high school teach ers. The general outline of the state text-hook in agriculture will ho fol lowed, hut special emphasis will ho given to experiments to bo carried on by students in the school garden. Excursions will bo made to the vari ous parts of tho College farm, and tho laboratories of different depart ments will be utilized In studying vari ous laboratory experiments. In the high school work special em phasis will bo laid upon experiments or laboratory work to he carried out in connection with texts and moro ad vanced work will be taken up than that outlined in tho elementary work. Increased Attendance At Farmers’ Meetings Guy W. Firor, Secretary of Extension Service, Georgia College of Agr. A series of four-day schools for farmers in the state of Georgia held during the early part of this year showed an increase of attendance of 58.4 per cent. The record of attendance for the summer meetings Jpr farmers showed an increase in attendance of 9.4 per cent over the attendance of the pre vious year. The farmers’ schools this year were not held where there were not a giv en enrollment of farmers with a tui tion of $1.00 for each put up in ad vance. Plans for summer meetings are now being perfected. The usual number will he held. They will he free. Those counties which have not already plan ned for an institute should do so at once. Do Not Expect Too Much Of Lime Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture To obtain some data on lime, tests were instituted several years ago on a number of soil areas in the south ern part of Georgia. The applications of lime varied from 1,500 to 3,000 pounds per acre. Fifteen hundred pounds of caustic or biting lime were applied to some areas and 3,000 poundp of the finely ground raw rock to other areas. Comparatively little benefit seems to have been obtained from the use of lime in combination with fertilizers under corn, cotton or oatH. The conclusion naturally drawn by the average farmer would be, there fore, that lime was not valuable un der Southern conditions for general field crops. This would be a mistake. Chemical analyses of many type soils in Georgia indicate some of them to be acid, and in some instances several hundred pounds of lime would be nec essary to correct the acidity. It is quite evident that where an at tempt is made to grow legumes that an acid condition of the soil is unde sirable; and to this end nothing can be used to greater advantage than lime. Applications of burned or caustic lime at the rate of 1,000 pounds per acre under cowpeas gave an increase of better than 1,300 pounds of peavine hay per acre. The sweetening of the land is a material advantage for all leguminous crops, as it enables the organisms by which they assimilate atmospheric ni trogen to multiply and develop under the most satisfactory conditions. In fact, on strongly acid soils these or ganisms do not Beem to thrive prop erly. An attempt to supply it through its use as a filler in commercial fer tilizer is not desirable. First of all, the quantity is too small, and, second, it is quite certain that the lime when mixed with acid phosphate will cause a reversion of a part of the phosphor ic acid into less available and, there fore, undesirable forms. The use of the pulverized raw rock at the rate of one ton per acre for ordinary legumes can be recommend ed. In using pulverized limestone, it is best to apply it as a top dressing, a few days before any fertilizer is put into the soil. It is only necessary to harrow it well into the surface of the ground. Its tendency is to sink down into the soil. Clean Up and Kill the Mosquitoes. "Clean-up time is here, and so is mos quito time. Gird on your swatting armor and go forth. One moment, however, before you go—‘the female is more deadly than the male.’ "Among mosquitoes the members of the ‘fair’ are fierce bloodsuckers that inject an irritating poison into our skins, and they may accompany the close of toxin with a few fever germs. The males lead a comparatively tame existence, subsisting on the juices of plants and fruits." So says a mem ber of the University of Wisconsin b ology department. "The speckle-winged anopheles, the malarial mosquito,” he continues “hibernates during the winter in our attics, cellars and closets. The pres ence of many lakes, swamps and ponds often makes mosquitoes an intolerable pest. “The female mosquito gorges herself with blood in order that tho eggs may have abundant nourishment. She de posits her little egg raft on tho surface of quiet water during the night, and it floats there until the larva? hatch. Tho larva? are the ‘wigglers’ or ‘wiggk?- tails’ which are seen in ponds and rain water barrels the world over. Though mosquito larva? always develop in water, they must breathe air, and frequently come to tho surface. After a few days the larvte sheds its skin and becomes a big-headed pupa, which rests nt tho surface until it splits up tho buck to allow the adult mosquito to emerge "The best way to get rid of mosqui toes is to destroy their breeding places. This not only means draining swamps and filling in ponds, but gathering up tomato cans, putting netting over horse troughs and rainwater barrels and watching the eave troughs. If it is impossible to got rid of standing water near your premises, oil placed on ponds will kill the larva?. Kerosene or any light fuel oil will serve for this purpose. About one ounce of oil will, cover fif teen square feet.” "One of the characteristics of my old comrade, Amos Stillman, was bravery in actual lighting service," said the old soldier. "Another characteristic was a sense of humor which stood him in good stead, even in time of danger, and contributed hot a little to the gaiety of his comrades. At the battle of Cold Harbor, just before making the charge, and while under the Confederate (ire, our corporal, who was over six feet high and scarcely bigger around than a gun-burrel, becume excited as the enemy’s bullets ploughed up the earth about him. “ ‘What kind of a place is this to keep a man in?’ he demandad; ‘ab solutely without protection!’ "He had no more than spoken when Private Stillman struck his ramrod in the ground. “‘Here, corporal,’ said he, ‘get be hind this. ’ ” First Boomer—"You fellows have no get-up about you nt all.

The germs are very resistant | to disinfectants, and v.-ill live on prem ises for years. Affected fowls develop 1 wart-like growths on tho comb, on wattles, in corners of eyes and mouth, sometimes forming ulcers on the membranes of the eyes, mouth and throat. The disease develops most rapidly during damp seasons. For prevention, keep the poultry houses sanitary, provide plenty of clean, dry litter, clean often and spray frequently with 4 per cent solution of compound cresol solution. To treat affected birds, remove the scabs from comb and wattles and paint with tincture of iodine or 10 per cent solution of crenlin. Apply powdered chlorate of potash to ulcers in mouth. Use 2 per cent boric acid solution In the eyes. County Soil Surveys W. A. Worsham, Professor of Agricul tural Chemistry, Ga. St. Col. of Agr. The physical survey of Turner coun- ty has recently been completed and similar work is being concluded for Washington and Laurens counties, and field work in Wilkes county will be started at once. Fly the physical survey is meant the surveying of ev ery kind of soil found in a county, mapping these types and publishing them in bulletin form along with de seriptions of the soils, their adapta bility to crops and what they show by chemical analysis, of plant food content. The chemical analysis is made in the laboratories of the Col lege of Agriculture, ft is a much slower process than the physical sur vey or field work. The soil survey and chemical anaiy sis is supplemented by crop tests by the Department of Agronomy of the College of Agriculture, for leadiut soli types. Unclaimed Letters.
