HOW WE MADE GOOD
MONET LAST
Hastings Declares That
Farmers Can Repeat the Past
Year’s Prosperity, It
They Will
Atlanta, Ga.— (Special)—"The gen
erality of Southern farmers made
money out of their farming
in 1919, more profit than most of
ever made before, despite boll weevil
unfavorable seasons and labor short
age.”
This statement was made
by H, G. Hastings, president of
the Southeastern Fair Association an
the Georgia State Chamber of Com
merce, in discussing general
, conditions in the South.
“Very naturally most of this
prosperity is credited to the
price of cotton and, of course, the
price helped, but the real down-at-the
bottom reason was that most
owned their cotton when it was
instead of 'owing' it for food
grain bought on credit, as used to
the case when the practice was to
all or nearly all cotton and buy
credit all or nearly all food, grain, etc
“Present farm prosperity is
largely to what Dr. Bradford Knapp
head of the demonstration work,
so aptly termed ‘Safe Farming,’
is nothing more or less tli|;ui gro»\i
on home acres every pouml of foou
grain and forage needed for family
and live stock use. When this is dont
every other available acre can wisely
and safely be put in cotton or othei
cash crop.
The expense of making cotton oi
other cash crop is, either directly
indirectly, the coet of food for
and beast ttu t works the crop.
items of food and grain can be pro
duced on southern farms at
to one-half what those same item;
cost from supply merchants.
“We made money list year by
lowing the only way that insures per
nmnent farm prdsperity, home
duction of home l*;od and grain
We can repeal this money making
1920 by following the same
sense way that put us right last
and will keep us right in 19 20
t every year, if we follow it up and not
gamble in cotton planting.
“It’s a great temptation to
in cotton in 1920—-gamble in
in the field, which is just ue bad as
gambling in cotton on the New York
or New Orleans exchanges. 1 know
some folks who are planning
double cotton acreage this year.

Pictures of amazing cities such as

In the world beyond the rainbow that

Pictures of astounding creatures, un¬

Birds with sparkling frosted feathers,
beasts built all of spotless
snow.
Wrapped in snug and coldproof mant¬
els, to and fro the fairies pass
Wielding tiny skillful brushes on the
smooth and shining glass.
All night long their filmy forces and
slim towered cities rise
Till the morning star is hanging like
a lantern in the skies.
Then they pack their paints and van¬

Till the sunshine of tomorrow fades
their pictures from the pane.
Oft we wonder as we waken from
some fascinating dream
Of a jewelel cobweb forest and a
slender silver stream
That we’re sure that we remember
where in this dull world of

We have ever chanced to wander
through such bright and filmy

Never e.ven half suspecting that wi

CONTROL OF THE ROOT-KNOT
NEMATODE ON THE PEACH.
IPgach trees are very susceptible to
the attacks of the microscopic worms,
or nematodes, which cause root
knot; therefore this parasite should
be considered when the home or com
I mercial orchard are being planned,
1 The root-knot nematode is para
sitic on more than live hundred wild
.and cultivated , . , plants and , is . there
I fore , hable to be in any soil which has
, been under , cultivation for sonic time.
New Iliad recently cleared of tim¬
ber, especially if it is above the level
of the surrouding cultivated fields, is
more apt to be free from natural in¬
festation of the root-knot nematode,
and if other conditions are favorable
such land would be preferable for a
new peach orchard.
The planting of peach trees in the
home garden where lettuce, carrots,
beans, tomatoes, etc., are badly in¬
fested with root-knot, may prove a
waste of time and money, for such
soil is so heavily infested with nema¬
todes that the young trees ^re at¬
tacked and stunted from the start
and never produce sufficient fruit to
justify the space they occupy in Ihe
garden.
If there is doubt whether a piece
of land is infested with root-knot an
examinatioon of the roots of bien¬
nial plants which occupy the soil will
generally disclose the presence of
parasitic nematodes if they are there
in any numbers. If growers are in
doubt as to the identity of root-knot
they may send suspected plants to the
Georgia Experiment Station for ex¬
amination, and will receive a report
on same.
It has come to the writer’s atten¬
tion that in a few cases root-knot ne¬
matodes have been introduced on in
fested peach trees from the nurse
ries. With the present laws and sys
tern of inspection this should not of¬
ten occur, but to safeguard ones in¬
terests it is well to carefully exam¬
ine the roots of each tree as it comes
from the shipping bundle. If any
knots apear on the roots such trees
should not be planted until asured
tha 1 they are free from root-knot.
