HOW WILL YOU HANDLE YOUR
IDLE LANDS?
Progressive Former.
There are many unproductive acres in
the Month which will not be cultivated
this year if present, indications mean
anything. Lands of low fertility, or
those unproductive for any reason, are
likely to lie left idle, or fenced nnd used
for grazing purposes. These changes
may bo regarded as of little importance,
but in renlity if any considerable acre
age is put out of cultivation, or if mnny
of the old Helds nrc to be fenced nnd
grazed by livestock, the mutter is or
tremendous importance. The effects may
be far‘teaching, resulting ih better farm
ing and increased profits, or they inny
bring losses and disappointment.
If these lands are fenced and any at
tempt made to make pastures on them
and livestock purchased to graze them,
the expense will be considerable the first
yonr. Probably more than the profits
and more than would be required to
keep them in cultivation. On the other
hand, if they are simply turned out to
grow up in brush, to wash away, or to
become a liability instead of an asset,
the loss may be greater than would re
sult from their cultivation. To deter
mine which course shall be followed may
not be an easy task. If, ns soon us cot
ton goes up again to average cost of
production, these lands are to be put
back into cultivation, it may not pay to
fence them, make pastures, and stock
thorn; but if the change iB to be a per
manent one, then fencing and grazing
is likely to be most economical. But
the making of pastures involves more
than fencing und the stocking of them
with cattle or other livestock. It involves
the growing of feed for more livestock
when gsnzing is not available, and this
means the taking of still more nercs
from cotton production und devoting
them to livestock production. It is
therefore probable that it will be more
economical to allow these unproductive
acreB to lie idle one or two years than
to fence them, nnd buy livestock to graze
them, if the increase in livestock produc
tion is to bo merely a t temporary expe
dient to reduce the cotton acreage while
the price of cotton is low.
POOR BUSINESS.
Macon Telegraph.
Generally speaking, the farmers of
GoorgiB have only one source of revenue.
It is really unnecessary to say this is
cotton. The great need of Georgia far
mers today is for every farmer to estab
lish several sources of revenue instead
of one.
A single crop, with the sustenance of
the farmer and his household depending
upon the money obtained from the sale
of that crop, is the cause of the greater
pnrt of the woe experienced today in the
rural districts. No business can live
and prosper oil. the basis by which the
nverage farm is conducted in this State,
with money coming in during only one
period of the year.
Each farm should have two good milk
cows, fifty laying liens, two brood sows,
a garden large enough to supply the
needs of home consumption and produce
a surplus of truck for ante, livestock
enough to keep the farmer’s smoke
house filled to supply his own needs and
have a surplus for sale, and n sufficient
acreage of corn, cow peas, velvet beans
nnd peanuts to feed his stock without
having to purchase, nnd have a surplus.
A farm in Georgia that cannot produce
several sources of revenue instead of one
is not a good business proposition. It
is very well for the oculist nnd the crim
inal lawyer to specialize, but merchants
and farmers should be heavily capital
ized in their business before they at
tempt such. For them it is always an
experiment nnd more difficult to finance
nnd successfully manage than a business
which diversifies and has a number of
sources from which money comes into
the treasury.

In 1830 the first successful trip by a
steam locomotive in America was made
by the engine of Peter Cooper. It was
a diminuitive affair, and required 57
minutes to go 13 miles. Its boiler was
not as big ns that of a modern kitchen
rungo. In 1831, seventy-two miles of
railroad had been built. Each year a
few more miles of track were laid. The
gold-rush Westward in ’40 resulted in
a sudden jump - in expansion—1,369
miles being constructed that year.
Brain service can be bought. Lip
service can be hired. Physical service
can be contracted for. But heart service
is tho kind you can get only when you
pay in appreciation, kindness nnd con
sideration. Service is the true basis of
nil good business, nnd until you get the
henrt-throbs of your organization work
ing with you and not just for you, you
lack one element that is, perhaps, of
more importance than you think.—G. E..
Brighton.
The importance of cutting cotton acre
age by at least 50 per cent, cannot be
too strongly stressed. It is difficult to
overstate the case. Let the South cut its
cotton ucrenge in half and abandon cot
ton entirely wherever other crops can be
grown to advantage, nnd this section
would quickly feel the beneficial effect.
The South must, live at home—it must pro
duce its own foodstuffs nnd feedstuffs,
its own fowls and butter and meats and
the other things for which it now annu
ally pays out hundreds of millions of
dollars. It should make this the banner
year of its history for crop diversifica
tion, for cleaning up and ditching nnd
draining its farms, for building high
ways, for improvements generally, nnd ns
far as possible let cotton alone. Out of
such a policy would spring measureless
benefits.—Manufacturers Record.

ability to work without supervision.

TO MEMBERS OFFOULTRY CLUB—
Dear Poultry Club Members;—I have
just received the following letter from
Mr. W. E. Roe, extension specialist of
the Georgia State College of Agriculture,
Athens:
“You have probably gotten your eggs
by this time, und most of you are prob
ably trusting to nature’s methods—'Old
mother hen’--to hatch out the chicks.
This is the old reliable way- -although
some of you, if you have had experience
with incubators, may is 1 using them sat
isfactorily. if. however, you are trust
ing your eggs to the lien, don’t leave
it all to her mid to Providence, but keep
a watchful eye on her; see that she is
kept free from parasites: has a com
fortable place in which to sit; is sepa
rated front the other hens, so she will
not be disturbed. If any eggs tire bro
ken. wash tile remainder und Keep plenty
ot whole corn, grit and water near the
sitting lien, so she may get what food
she wants at any time. At hatching time
watch out that the little follows .aren’t
crushed by the over anxious mother. It
is a good idea to remove chicks from the
nest na soon as fairly dry and carry
them to some warm place until all the
eggs are hatched and they are old enough
to be put in a coop with the hen. Just
after tho chicks are hatched and until
they arc about seven days old, are the
critical days of the chicks. Then is
when they need closer attention than at
Day other time. Do not, however, make
tho mistake of feeding the little follows
loo soon; do not food until chicks are at
Inapt 48 hours old. Before they arc
given any food like rolled onta or 1 chick
feed,’ sprinkle lino grit, or oyster shell
on tho tluor of tho ooop or brooder, so
tho little biddies will have' something
with which to grind tho other food when
lie gets it Here is another thing which
will save lots of chickens' from the dread
while diarrhea: lllvo lots of amir milk
or clabber just ns soon us the chick
will drink it. Home give this instead of
water for the first few days. Then, for
tile first food, give dry rolled outs, crush
ed line between the lingers, or hard-boiled
eggs ground fine; feed little and very
often. The little chick cannot digest
much food ut n time; hence needs that
little often. Food this for n few days,
gradually changing to commercial lmby
' chick feed.' When the biddies are
about a week old plan' hoppers of wheat
bran before them, adding other ground
grains, such as ^oru meal and shorts,
and some meat scraps later on. Don’t
forgot that milk—and free range. These
things are going to play a big part In
growing the kind of chicks for which
there will In' a three to llve-dollnr ‘de
mand next fall.
“With Iw'st wishes for your success
in this, 1 um Yours trply,
“W. E. Rue.
“Extension Hpeeiulist.
Note carefully the things which Mr.
Rue mentions, nnd try to follow out nil
suggestions.
Yours sincerely,
l.orine Collins,
County Home Demonstration Agent.
