State Col. Of Agii. j Very few citieH and towns and t’mlr suburbs are not in need of more.shade trees, or the more systematic arm mo ment and care of them. The fall ad winter is the time for city and wn officials to make arrangements for ilia enhancement of the town’s v: le. Plant trees that are best suited to roadway conditions, that are long liv ed and will remain as landmark in the town, and where possible p nt each street and avenue to ono apt- do of tree. Some of the trees that an he recommended for planting u er average Georgia conditions are White Elm, Red Elm, Cork Elm, Ginkgo, Nor way Maple, Red Maple, Water Oak, Pin Oak, Live Oak, Tulip Poplar, and Sycamore or Plane Tree. Counting demonst rating farmers and ■ ii wives, co-operating farmers, boys girls’ club members, traveling ex its nnd^tho college staff, there are .100 Georgia people lined up to do me dofinftov work for the improve- mt of agricultural conditions in CALF CLUBS OF^ GEORGIA. A movement has been launched by he Department of Animal Husbandry >f the Georgia State College of Agri culture to organize 'calf clubs. To make it possible -Wr as fiiany to be long to the cluiis as possible, ihfi con lent that will'first be promoted will, be on feeding grade calves. The boys showing the best records of handling and feeding for a given pe riod will win prizes. Exhibitions are to be made at county, state and other important fairs in the state. DO NOT FOLLOW COTTON WITH COTTON Georgia Pig Clubs Georgia has 2,000 pig club members located in 76 counties. At. the South eastern Fair at Atlanta they had 91 pigs on exhibition. At the State Fair they had 111 pigs and at thy Georgia- Florida Fair at Valdosta they had 35. At forty-five county fairs they had an average of about eight pigs to the fair. Sixty-five prizes were won at the three large fairs mentioned in cluding four junior and Uireo grand championships. Grady county won most prizes, Fulton county the most money with Bibb third. All except three c unties exhibiting won some prize. The boys entered the open ring and exhibited against all breeders and won at tlio fairs mentioned nearly a thousand dollars of prizes. The practice of following cotton with co-ton is considered a poor farm ing practice, but in weevil territory it is considered dangerous to the crop. The College of Agriculture is urging through county agents and others that the farmer be persuaded as far as possible to use cotton fields for other crops and put the cotton where it did not grow tho previous year. HIGH RECOMMENDATION FOR GEORGIA INSTITUTION Market Agent Ta V It has come to the attention of the authorities of the Georgia State Col lege of Agriculture that the United States Department of Agriculture has highly recommended the cotton course of the institution to residents of other states.

Improvements and better ments in glasses are just as frequent as in anything else. Until a few years ago all lenses were flat, because no one had thought of a better way to make them. Today nearly 90 per cent of lenses fitted are Torie lenses, curved to follow the shape of tha eyeball. Tories give a perfect range of vis ion from every angle—the edges do not confuse you when looking from the corner of the eye. Let us demonstrate the many ad vantages of Tories made by us. Some cf the bulletins and circulars recently issued by the College of Agri culture and arc for free distribution are as follows: “Cotton Production Under Boll Weevil Conditions,” “Min imizing Boll Weevil Damage Through Proper Cultivation and Fertilization,” "Oat Production in Georgia,” “Con trolling the Pecan Case-Bearer,” “Beautifying the Georgia Homo,” “Im proving the Woodlot,” “Slaughtering and Curing Meat, on the Farm,” “Grow ing Seedling Trees,” “Cantaloupe Pro duction in Georgia,” “Peanuts as a Substitute for Cotton,” “Suggestions on Marketing Live Stock,” “Farm Changes Under Boll Weevil Condi tions.” Georgia. They are a part of the army of preparedness. Farmers’ Institutes Three or four teams of college ex perts go on the rood in Georgia after school closes to hold farmers’ insti tutes. Through this effort institutes , are held in the summer in practically , every county. In recent years the burden of the message of these men has been "Preparedness for the Boll Weevil.” ; Farm’s Short Course And Conferences The annual Farmer’s Short Course has been designed to meet boll weevil problems as well as to better farming conditions in general. A short course . for farm machinery dealers has been added to help solve new problems aria- j ing through varying farm practices. | A short course for farm women to j better inform them how to grow veg-! etables, and fruits and how to pro-[ serve them, how to raise poultry sue-! cessfully, etc., is considered as offer ing something to aiding in meeting dif- j Acuities incident to a departure from all-cotton cropping.
