State Department oi Agriculture
Gives Timely Advice.
Atlanta, Ga , Sept. :i(J. The State
Department of Agriculture w«rna far
mers of Georgia against, the danger of
overlooking the important opportuni
ties now before them on account of the
good price which cotton is bringing and
the fine fall prospects. It is true things
are looking good, hut the important
thing is not only to keep them looking
good, hut to make them look even bet
ter.
"The time i9 close at hand for plant
ing leguminous anil top crops, as well
a- sitiuII grain," said Commissioner .1.
I). Price, "and I want to call attention
again to the fact that this department
is prepared, the same as last year, to
supply the farmers of Georgia with
bacteria inoculent for their leguminous
crops at 25 cents an acre, or practically
cost. The splendid results attained last
year through the use of inoeulents
makes it really imperative that no far
mer overlook this opportunity to in
crease his yield.
"While we made a fair wheat crop
this year, it was not as good ns we
would like to have had, owing to the
drouth which hit it at the wrong time.
Nevertheless, many good farmers now
have wheat on hnnd who did not have
any last year. It is a good thing to
have wheat of your own. whether you
have money nr not. Next year is not
going to be bh easy as some people
seem to think. While I am optimistic
over prospects and feel confident that
times will he much better than for the
last 12 or Is months, I cannot refrain
from cautioning Georgia farmers
against taking long chances. Besides,
it doesn’t matter bow much money we
have, home-raised Hour tastes good to
the farmer on his own table. It is
worth while, even for feeding to the
chickens and pigs.
"It is your job, Mr. Farmer, to take
care of your farm and family, and you
should get ready for it by sowing grain
crops of all sorts, ns well as raising all
the cuttle and hogs you can. I know
that this sort of talk has been pumped
at you for years and years, but I have
never seen the time when it was more
important than now that you should
take heed and get ready tu protect
yourselves.
"The Georgia Board of Entomology

pnrtment of Agriculture, the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce, and business

meeting agricultural conditions brought
shout by the appearance of the boll
weevil in many counties of Georgia.
Scientific men who have had wide ex
perience with the weevil say there is
no question but that it will be all over
Georgia within two years. It is up to
you to ‘prepare for war in time of
pence. ’ Do not understand me to say
that the boll weevil will reach your
farm at any particular time, for l do
not know this. But I do know, from
having seen the destruction and huvoc
wrought in other States, that it ,s best
for you to get ready for it. A word to
the wise should be sufficient."

When the final figures are in it will
be 9hown that Georgia has more nearly
lived at home than in any year in the
past fifty. Preliminary estimates of
the Federal Department of Agriculture
show that the State has produced 64,-
900,000 bushels of corn as against 56,-
000,000 in 1914; wheat, ;1.129,000 bushels
as compared with a crop of 1,694,000
last year, and 16,100,000 bushels of
oats as against 9,000,000 for 1914.
Sweet and Irish potatoes show a cor
responding increase. In hogs, 1915
shows a ten per cent, increase over
1614. These are highly pleasing
figures and deliver a body blow at Old

In this freer world that is now begin
ning people must like what they have
to do. In this country, for instance,
we must not only get the betterments
of science actively in use on the farm,
but we must educate the children so
that they will become pleasantly aware
of the interest, realities and satisfac
tion of farm life. Herbert Quick has
made this point everlastingly clear in
his new book, “The Brown Mouse." It
ought to be read and pondered over by
most of those who have anything to do
with rurn! education. It is useless to
cry "back to the soil" to those who
have been steadily trained away from
it during eight or ten years of school
ing. Note, too, that the farmer can
ruin himself by doing a good :ob. If
the wheat-growers all took this sage
advice about getting a European yield
from each American acre, the price
would probably go to 60 cents a bushel.
The world-old war between the city
dweller’s cheap food and the farmer's
profitable crops must be brought to
some sort of a fair settlement. This
problem has been wrangled over from
either end, but it has not been clearly
stated for solution. If will be necessary
not only to have the farmeis doing
their most effective work for the rest
of us, but also to make sure that in do
ing it they are not in danger of getting
less reward than like service would
The ruling recently issued by the
State Department of Agriculture unde
the Pure Food and Drug Act relative to
bleach'd Hour will go into effect Fri
day, Oct. 1. and. according to the an
nouncement of the department, will be
rigidly enforced.
Commissioner Price calls attention to
the fact that while the department is
persistently urging farmers all over
Georgia to raise their own wheat and
eat home-made tlour, it is at the same
time seeking to protect all the people
of Georgia against bleached tlour—at
least to the extent of letting them
know just what they are eating.
t'nder this ruling every barrel, sack
or package of tlour offered for snie in
Georgia which is bleached by any pro
cess. or artificially matured, must have
stamped upon the package in capital
letters of solid type not less than one
inch in height the word “bi.kached."
Following this word in smaller type, if
desired, must be given the process, so
that the statement on the package must
read either "bleached electrically," or
"bleached by chlorine.”
Manufacturers and dealers in tlour
were given by the department a liberal
extension of time for conforming to
this law. That time expires Oct. 1.
The department can grant no further
extension, and will use every effort to
see that the law is obeyed to the letter.
gain in other industries. The present
market-controlled prices do not insure
this result. Whatever is necessary in
the way of joint action, Government
regulation, etc., will some day have to
be undertaken, and the generation
which combines this statesmanship with
proper rural education will very nearly
settle the farming question.
“Good-bye, Old Summer-time.”
.Sara Hcaumont Kennedy.
Yesterday, over the western hills,
the summer sun went down. The sea
son which three months ago we hailed
as the "good old summer-time” has
crystallized into a memory, a memory
that glorifies with the compelling touch
of ends attained and hopes achieved,
or shrivels and blisters under the
scourge of failure.
It came out of the eastern dawn—
this dead-and-gone summer—with roses
and bird-song, laughter and love, and
it slipped over the western horizon
empty-handed, for, one by one, it had
dropped its treasures as it journeyed.
And some of us caught the roses, and
some the thorns, and some learned the
bird-song and some held the empty nest
Some of us saw it go without regret-
nay, even with relief; and some of us
held yearningly and tenaciously to its
last golden hours; some of us will cov
er its exit with the lilies of gladness,
and some will hide its footprints under
I the rue of broken hearts.
All that is left of it now is the paling
| glow of the aftermath, the reflected
radiance of what was so recently a
splendor of sunshine and rainbow
tinted blossoms. Impartially it gave
of its warmth, its color, its perfume
its purple vintage: but with all too un
even balance did it weigh its favors of
joy and hope and happiness. But
! what is done, is done; and whether we
j have bound up full sheaves of its gol
den grain or been only gleaners in the
rilled fields, we look back to-day and
say, with that touch of sadness that
always comes with finality: "Good
bye, old summer-time, good-bye.”
