STATE NEWS OF INTEREST
Brief News Items Gathered Here and
There From All Sections
Of The State
Atlanta.—Urging the farmers of
Fulton to plant a diversified crop in
order to^combat the boll weevil next
next year, Harry L. Brown, county ag¬
ricultural agent, states that he is anx¬
ious to help the farmers in any way
possible and will give his personal
Attention lo the situation.
In speaking of the reduction of
cotton acreage and the sowing of fall
■rops, Mr. Brown points out that the
j ime for sowing of fall crops, such
j +s wheat, oats and rye. is at hand.
"It seems that the only wise course
’ follow is to reduce the cotton acre¬
,o
age. This means that there will be
more land for other crops.
"On the thinner land it would prob¬
ably pay best to sow rye. On bet¬
ter laud either wheat or oats can
be sowed, and my opinion is that we
should sow more oats than wheat, I
would like to see a number of the
farmers sow crimson clover and al
’alfa.
"The better varieties of oats for
I fall sowing are the Fulghum, Appier
i tnd Texas Rust-Proof. Good varie
' ies of wheat for this section are Leap
| Prolific, Fulcaster ami Georgia Red.
The latter 1s better for thin land. Ful
,
| caster is a bearded wheat; the others
i ire not. I shall he glad to help get
’ any seed farmers may want, if seed
is to be bought it should be done at
once. Abruzzes rye is the rye to
sow, but it will be hard to find.
"Wheat, oats and rye may he seed¬
ed with grain drills or broadcasted
And harrowed in. It seemsto pay to
sow oats in an open furrow.
“As fertilizer use acid phosphate
or manure, or both. In the spring
nitrogenous fertilizers, such as sul
phate of anunonia and nitrate of
soda may be used profitably as top
dressings.
"Tests at Athens, and other exper¬
iment stations, show that the highest
yields of small grains are made
when they are seeded about October
15. Rye should really be seeded ear¬
lier.”
To Inspect Drainage In State
I Atlanta.—Some of the foremost
drainage experts of the country will
inspect drainage projects under way
in Georgia if plans of the board of
control of the tenth annual drainage
congress, to be held in Atlanta, on
November 10, 11 and 12, work out.
It is expected that much valuable in¬
formation will be secured by Geor¬
gia counties as a direct result, It
is planned to organize side trips to
all principal drainage projects now
under way in Georgia and to take the
delegates on a tour of them. Judge
Newt A. Morris of Marietta, vice
president of the National Drainage
Congress, declares that, in this way
Georgia land owners who are hav
mg their swamp land reclaimed by
drainage will gain invaluable aid.
Cotton Leaders To Hold Meeting
Atlanta.—Declaring that the policy
of artificial deflation of Secretary
Houston, if maintained, will cause the
loss of hundreds of millions to the
fanners of the United States, and that
it is the duty of the government to
' promote world trade in every possible
way, a national call to every organ
ized agricultural association in the
country to meet in Washington Octo
ber 12 and 13 was sent out from At¬
lanta by seventeen large farming or
ganizations. The deflation policy oi
Secretary Houston was branded as a
method by which American farm prod¬
ucts will be artificially depressed,
sold at a heavy loss and will result in
the placing or American farmers on a
"basis of cheap foreign labor.” The
statement also declared that the sale
of staple products must be carried
over a period sufficient to provide a
legitimate demand based upon the nat
ural law.
$1000,000 Suit Against The Telegraph
| Macon.—Thomas W. Hardwick, can
didate for governor of Georgia and
; former United States senate, filed
suit for $100,000 against the Macon
Telegraph in the city court, alleging
libel. In his recent address here he
declared he would file the suit and
in the event he was awarded damages
! would give the amount to the Macon
hospital. He charges that The Tele
■ graph, in a recent editorial, insinuated
| that he was a party to the sending
of a bomb to his home in Atlanta
which injured Mrs. Hardwick.
Confederate Veteran Dies Suddenly
Cartersville.—The funeral of J. C
Herring, Confederate veteran, whe
j died here recently, was conductec
from the Sam Jones Memorial Meth
odist church. Mr. Herring, who was
! one of the most prominent business
