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.
