Order Seed Now,
Farmers Advised
Georgia cotton farmers should
save all of tneir goodAplanting
seed. E. C. Westbrook, cotton
specialist of the Extension Ser
vice. said this week, because the
supplv of seed for next year’s
planting will be smaller than the
demand.
Smart growers who will need ■
seed in 1917 are already placing j
their orders, he continued, point
ing out that it pays to plant seed i
of high germination as better
stands are obtained and the I
piants are healthier and more
vigorous.
“Weather conditions in the
southern half of the State usual
ly cause cotton seed to be low in j
germination and heavily loaded
with seed-borne diseases,” Mr.!
Westbrook pointed out. “Plans
have been worked out for pro
ducing seed of the best wilt-re
sistant varieties in north Georgia
for use by south Georgia cotton
growers.
“A considerable acreage of
Coker’s 100 Wilt cotton w a s
grown in north Georgia this year
for that purpose,” he continued.
“Tins seed, which was produced
under supervision, will be clean
ed. delinted, treated and put up
in 100-pound bags. This seed
should be high in germination.;
County agents have lists of
sources for obtaining these seed.
‘ In the future it will not be
necessary for south Georgia cot
ton growers to buy breeder seed
at high prices,” Mr. Westbrook
decigred. “They will be able to
buy good seed of high germina
tion that was grown in north
Georgia. This seed will help
give south Georgia growers the

Legion Endorses
Forest Fire Plan
Among the unheralded ac
complishments of the Georgia
Department of the American
Legion at its annual conference
in Macon last week was the
adoption of a proposed platform
by the Legion’s state forestry
committee.
This platform calle I for Legion
backing of the state Forestry!
j Department’s bill for statewide
j forest tire preelection. This was
referred to the legislative coin
mittee and endorsed.
Other planks included reject
ion of any further federal con
I trols over timber operations in
the state, espousement o f a
stronger State Department o 1
Forestry and approval of a plan
to make the study of forestry a
required subject in the State’s
elementary schools.
Poison Cutworms
Cutworms chop down early plants
in the garden, while slugs may con
tinue to do damage over a long pe
riod of time, especially when the
weather stays damp or rainy. A I
poison bait may be used to con- j
trol both of these pests, and later
| in the season, may also be used for j
grasshoppers. For a poison bran
mash, mix six pounds bran or
cornmeal, four ounces of Paris
green, one pint of molasses and two
quarts of water. Mix first the bran
and Paris green. Stir the molasses
into the water, then combine it with
the bran and poison mixture to
make a moist crumbly mash that
will spread eas ; .’y when broadcast
by hand. Scatter this about the gar
den late in the afternoon, or even
better after sundown in the evening.

Idle Acreage No
Longer Recommended
Cultivation Needed
For Tired Acres
The “rest cure” treatment for
worn-out farm land is rapidly be
coming a thing of the past, as farm
ers are learning that “acres on va
cation” are likely to deteriorate
rather than increase in fertility lev
el, according to J. C. Hackleman,
professor of crops extension at the
University of Illinois college of ag
| riculture.
“Farmers formerly thought that
if they put their 'tired acres' into
pasture, the land could be rested
two or three years and would come
back as productive and vigorous as
ever,” Professor Hackleman point
| ed out.
“The fact is that every ton of
j beef, pork or mutton or milk pro
duced on these pastures removes
! nitrogen, phosphorus, potash and
calcium or lime just as surely as
j does a crop of corn, oats, wheat
or hay.
“In addition, as the permanent
pastures become less productive
they provide less cover and the re
i suit is more loss through erosion.
But these weary pastures are not
hopeless cases, Professor Hackle
man declares. The response of

most of them to propex soil treat
ment is almost miraculous.
Five simple steps, he says, will
transform the average worn out
pasture into a productive acreage in
one or, at most, two years. These
steps are to test the soil and treat
it with the necessary plant food
mineral elements, disc these min
erals thoroughly while preparing a
reasonably good seedbed, reseed
with a mixture of legumes and
grasses, control grazing for at least
a year and clip weeds, giving the
legumes and grasses a chance. J
Professor Hackleman said that
because of an increase of cultivat
ed acreages during the war, a
greater acreage is now ready for
legumes than in prewar days.
