RAINFALL TUESDAY ENDS
VERY LONG DRY SPELL
Showers Fall in Various Parts Of
Saluwin And is Gladly Welcomed
by everyone—uroughl Has Seri
ouuly Injured Late Crops,
Following u very lengthy drought
of several weeks in which the unu-
rual warm weather played a big part
;ii drying out t ie ground, rain fell
iu various parts of Baldwin county
Tuesday afternoon.
It is generally belived that Septem
her this year has been the dryest
nil wannest of any month in several-,-
years tin account of the lengthy
drough late crops, such as sweet po
tatoes, tomatoes and vegetable crops
have been if ite seriously injured, so
much so as to bring about assurance
that yields will be cut to a consider
able extent.
in a number of instances farmers
ave been forced to employ measures
unusual in order ito provide water
fur stock, as many streams that or.
dinaily flow the year round have
Pone dry. Tho showers that fell
yesterday, however, will probably
mean tlie end of this unusual trouble.

eral years ago by being stepped upon
by a horse, Mr. Briscoe Wall, a well
known merchant of Milledgeville, was

Fertilize Small Grain
By L. E. Swain, County Agent
Thera seems to he a considerable
difference of opinion among tlio far
mers of (Lorgia regarding whether
it pays to use fertilizer in growing
small grain. Doubtless many are
. ndecijod and many question what
form of fertilizer is most profitable.
Tho Goorgia. State College of Agri-
eulture has been conducting fertili
zer experiments with oats on some
of tlie principal soil types for tlie
past ton years. A similar expori.
me.it with wheat has beep made on
one soil t; pe for one yea;*. A study

Hen. .1. Pope Brown, l'orinenr state
treasurer filling by appointment the
unexpired term of Treasurer Park,
former member of the state Railroad
Commission, for some years a conspi.
eious member of the* state legislature,
and one of tlie best known men in
state public life for a long time, has
acepted tie tender made to him by
tlie state prison commission of ti e
office of superintendent of the state
prison farm at Milledgeville to si
oed Capt. .1. M. Burke on October
The prisons commiossion will, after
the first of October, announce other
reorganization plans at the prison
farm.
The newly appointed head of tlie
(state farm has given out several
interviews relative to his proposed
plans after moving to tie big planta
tion owned by the state. It. is ills
purpose to make the place as pro
ductive as possible and show to the
controlling factors of the prison just
what is in the land that is being
worked from your to year by the sev
eral hundred state prisoners.
“I don't know just what has been
done there,” said Mr. Brown today
“in tho matter of farming and only
in a general way wbat the land 13
fit to raise, but it is my purpose to
make a study of the adaptability of
tho sell and see if the place can't lie
made to produce crops which will af
ford surplus," said Mr. Brown short!v
after lie received his appointment
Thursday from tho Prison Comm!*,,
slon.
Mr. Brown has all his life been an
experienced farmer, and for a good
many years ran farms aggreating
ibout a thousand mules He has been
i believer that one mule ought to be
lble to produce food stuffs enough to
feed and take care of ten families.
He will move from Hawkinsville to
Milledgeville about the first.
If plans he has tentatively in mind
can be made to materialise, an effort
will be made to grow stuff enough, on
the prison farm at Milledgeville to
feed that institution and to supply all
the other state institutions of that
class. Ope of he studies to be made
by Mr. Brown is the possibility of
growing wheat on the Milledgeville
farm, with a view to supplying at
loast a largo part of the flour used nl
the sanitarium. It is his idea that the
present farm should be handled in
one of two ways: make is productive
et rid of it and farm somewheie
else on a spot that will produce.

The most striking fact brought out
in the foregoing table is that on all
soils the greatest increase was ob.
tabled by the use of both phosphoric
and nltrog* nous materials. How.
ever, it doees not fellow that oi all
soil.* tha use of both phosphoric and
nitrogenous materials will be tl:s
most profitable method, since the cost
of both eli nu nta may exceed the
cost of one by more than the value
of the inc-ease in yield between the
two methods. But taking th» ro-
i ults as a whole it may be .isuniod
that on the majority of soil type:; th**
use of both fertilizing element.; will
show a profit. However, he ma
jority of fanners would ha-lly b<*
willing to make as heavy application
of fertilizer a3 was done in the Col
lege cxpirimentB, and it is possiole
that with a lighter application there
would be a greater profit.
The ro-unlou of the Confederal Vet
erans for 1921 will ba hold in Chat
tanooga, October 25,26 and 27, and
the information is that Chattanooga
is making great populations to en
tertain and care for the Veterans and
visitors.

occasion will be one cent per mile

lies. Tho exact schedule l.as not yet
been made out.

Georgia R. on the morning of Oct.
24 and arrive In Cnnttanooga the
afternoon of the 25th.
If possible, a special car will be

people of MllIe.Tgeville aril Baldwin
County an opportunity to assist in
this wcrtl y cause.

federate Verterans. All of them are
anxious to go to Chattanooga, realizing
that for some of them they will meet
for the last time on Hearth their con-
railes of the 60s,
There are very few financially
able to bear this expense and a small
sum from Citizens here will enable
quite u number from Camp Doles t<*

Th?. 80-i.ral Camps of tiie Sons and
Daughters throughout the State and
the Southern States are making
siren ,ous efforts to send thoir OkF
Confederates and tlie local Camp will
