CROP AND ANIMAL WASTE
The crop and animal waste
Georgia in 1919 amounted to
imately .$100,000,000 which is a
(of practically $113 per capita of
population. This does not take
account the damage done by the
weevil or the great losses by
and fungous diseases, which in
selves total many millions of
more,
Of course, we could not
saved all of this wealth but even
small part of it would have
greatly to the net earnings of
people because what is saved is
These facts present the
need for training in agriculture
all of our people.
We raised 13,640,000 bushels
sweet potatoes and then allowed ap
proximately 6,500,000 bushels
them to decay because we had
suitable storage bouses for
them. And yet, there is enough
terial on many farms to build an
ficient storage house at small
and plans and bill of materials
be secured free of charge by
the Georgia State College of
culture. The farmers of many
munities in the state are
o build large community
houses of ten to forty thousand
shel capacity. -
In our great money crop,
we are still growing a number of va¬
rieties that yield a short and
isfactory staple and this caused a
loss last year of approximately 157,
‘ITi bales amounting to $6,290,880.
Improper grading cost the
$8,650,000 more. Our failure to grow
varities, the seed of which contain
a high per cent of oil, robbed us of
an additional $6,000,000.
Our actual and potential loss on
the corn crop has been estimated at
$45,165,000. This statement may
seem anomalous to many but the fact
is that we do not need to increase
our acreage to raise 100,000,000
bushels in the state instead of 69,
890,000 as we did last year. By care¬
ful seed selection, by thorough pre¬
paration, cultivation and fertiliza¬
tion by eradicating smut and other
diseases, we can raise a much large;
corn crop and save many millions of
dollars that annually go out of the
state for corn to feed our live stock
and for human food. Let us stop this
leak forever. „

DRONES VERSUS WORKERS
Average yields are unprofitable, it
matters not the crop to which the
rule is applied. A very careful cost
survey of cotton yields was made in
1914 by the College and the Bureau
of Farm Management of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
and it was shown that when 172
pounds of lint was harvested per
acre, the cost was 11.6 cents
pound. When the yield of lint was
increased to 456 pounds, the cost
was decreased to 7.5 cents per pound.
We must increase average yields
by 40 to 50 per cent. Even then, we

Profane Expression.
Do not think you are profane when
yon su.v that you “don’t care a dam.”
rii.‘ truth Is that a dam was the xniall
ssi Hindu coin at a time when the
English were Invading India, and the
sxpresslon that one “didn’t give a dam”
aaturally sprang up to mean that a
.natter was of next to no Importanea.
will be conducting our operations on
a narrow margin of profit. Doubling
average yields will pur us on a safe
and sane basis but we will have to
treble them if we are to make our
farming operation yield an attractive
revenue.
As an illustration of what may bo
accomplished through plant breeding,
t.he College has developed an early
maturing type of cotton known as
College No. 1. It has been grown in
the same field for some years with
many other varities of cotton. In
1918 this cotton yielded 660 pounds
of lint from the first anti second
pickings. Sixty-nine per cent of ths
entire crop was harvested before Oc¬
tober first.
DeSoto grown under the same con¬
ditions, yielded 259 pounds of lint
from the first and second pickings,
and only thirty-seven per cent of tht
crop matured before October ^irst
What chance has the farmer who
grows DeSoto to meet the onslaught
of the boll weevil?
Strains from College No. 1 have
been found to vary in their ability to
yield oil from 17 to 22 per cent. This
is a difference of 5 per cent in oil
yield. Yet, the highest oil yielding
strains proved to be the easiest and
the most desirable type for field
cultivation. There are simply mil¬
lions of dollars to be added to the
wealth of Georgia through the utili¬
zation of better strains of seed. Good
seed like good citizens pay an incre¬
ment on any investment it may take
to secure them. ,
In every field there are som*
plants that are workers and other*
*that are drones. Some bear good!
fruit and others bear poor fruit. Seed
from disease-free, high yielding
strains is the best crop insurance the
farmer can get.

QUICKSILVER PRODUCED
IN THE UNITED STATES.
Between January 1 and March 31,
1920, inclusive, 4,899 flasks of quick¬
silver, each of 75 pounds net, was
produced in the United States, ac*
cording to F. L. Ransome, of th*
United States Geological Survey, Do#,
partment of the Interior, who obtain^
ed the figures from the producer A
This is 852 flasks less than the ourf
put in the fourth quarter of 191 i
an d 1,226 flasks less than that in th^f
first quarter of 1919.
California produced 3,994 flasks a><t
Texas, Oregon, and Nevada togetb p
produced 905 flasks. There were '0
productive mines in California and 1
in each of the three other produti"^
States. Less than 100 flasks was pro.
duced by mines outside of Calif or ..in
and Texas.
The quicksilver on hand at
mines or in transit to market at Liar
end of the quarter amounted to 4,160
flasks.
The average monthly prices mt
quicksilver per flask in San Frnrre
co in the first three months of 1920,
as quoted in the Mining and Seien
