A Woodless Age Coming-
I The College of Agriculture main
> tains au extension forester, who ad
! vises with farm owners in the estab’-
• lishment and care of woodlands. A
| portion of his time is given to the
j preservative treatment of fence
, posts and farm timbers to prolong
i life. Doubling the life of the pres
j ent supply will cut the’ demand in
' proportion. Jf you own a tract of
ivastc land which is unproductive
1 mid you desire to have it planted to
I a crop which will yield a good re
turn on the investment, see your
county agent Tir write the extension
i forester direct.
i Georgia contains in round num
-1 bers something less than thirty
i eight million acres of land. Os this
i amount, twenty-six million acres are
i in farms, twelve million 'acres are
! classed as improved land and four
teen million acres as unimproved,
leaving between ten and eleven mil
lion acres of wild, semi-wild or cut
over lands. The productive energies
of Georgia from an agricultureal
I point of view, therefore, rest on
‘ the cultivation of twelve million
iacres of land. The other fourteen
: million acres in farms would povide
a superabundance of range and graz
ing areas for all live stock we have
I at present or will own and niain
i tain in the next twenty-five years.
! It would be easy for us, therefore,
I to devote ten million acres of our
lahded area to forests. If this were
done, we would create a timber in
i dustry in Georgia in the next quar-
I ter of a century of tremendous im
portance. The value of the timber
growth on each acre of land is now
I equivalent in value to SIO.OO a year.
: Hence, the sale price of these wild
lands would be marvelously increas
ed. an asset essential to the prog
ress and posperity of the state cre
‘ ated and the timber famine which
, we now face averted.
There is no problem, therefore, of
greater economic importance to
I Georgia than the consideration of
our forest interests at this time.
: Some data dealing with this problem
has been prepared for the informa
[ tion of our landowners. . Read and
digest the facts set forth below. It
is clear that every farm in Geor
: gia should have a woodlot. If you
do not understand how to establish
a forest nursery or maintain and
■ care for a wooded area, write to the
Georgia State College of Agriculture
: for such information as you may
need along this line.
The realization that Georgia’s
forest resources are being rapidly
depleted is being brought home to
our people. The virgin pine of a
lew decades ago has disappeared
and the mills are now tutting sec
ond growth. In 1909 our state
reached the acme of wood produc
tion in the total of a billion board
feet. Since then the center of pro
duction has moved rapidly west
ward, now centering in Louisiana
and the Pacific Northwest. The
United States forest service esti
mates’that in another ten years
practically all of the large mills
1 will have ceased to operate in
Georgia.

B. D. MEAD MFG. CO., Providence, R. I.
more than half the woodland and
forest area in Georgia is controlled
by the farmer, and the proportion is
increasing rapidly. Large areas of
cut-over forest land are being open
ed up to settldnent, the rougher
portions being retained in woodland
pastures, the better lands being
adapted to agricultural purposes.
During the next decade millions of
acres of cut-over lands will pass
from the lumberman to the farmer
and it is safe to state that; the fu
ture production of wood in Georgia
is in the hands of the farmer.
The production of wood is es
sentially a farm problem—just as
much so as the growing of corn,
peaches or hogs. Only in the length
of time required to produce a crop
does wood differ from other farm
products. In other words, it is nec
essary to allow the growth of many
years to accumulate until the trees
are of merchantable size. This does
not mean that there is no return
from the woodland in the meantime,
since thinnings yield fence posts,
cordwood, repair material and vari
ous by-products, such as turpen
tine. Aside from the product, how
ever, the woodland enhances the
value of the farm because of its
beauty; it affords shelter to stock
and a refuge for valuable bird life;
it conserves the water supply and
regulates the flow of springs and
branches; and it affords protection
to growing crops from hot, dry
winds.
Conditions in the south are par
ticularly favorable to the growing
of wood; second growth pine fields
dften produce at the rate of 1,001
board feet per acre per year.
As the supply decreases the mar
ket value of wood increases. At
present pine stumpage in south
Georgia is selling at an advance of
100 per cent to 150 per cent over
what it sold at two years ago. It
is safe to predict a very consider
able advance during the next dec
ade. As a matter of fact, the safest
and most profitable investment
which one can make at the present
time is an investment in young,
thriftily growing woodlands.
The production of wood differs
from all other farm crops in that
little labor is required and that at
a season of the year when other
work is not pressing. Fire protec
tion, if properly planned, will cost
but little. In fact the cost of pro
tection and of making thinnings
may well be paid for out of the re
turns from, the thinnings. The chief
labor in connection with the wood
land comes at harvesting time when
the trees are felled and the material
prepared for market.
Types of Soil Adapted to Tobacco
Raising
Definite conclusions cannot be
drawn from one year results, but de
spite the fact the season was ab
normal on account of so much rain
there were certain soils that were
outstanding, and showed promise of
becoming recognized tobacco soils.
The Tifton or pebble soil gave good
account of itself and probably ranks
next to the Norfolk series in impor
tance as a tobacco soil for Georgia.
There were phases of the Tifton
soils, however, that produced much
better tobacco than others. The light
or sandy phases of the Tifton or peb
ble soils produced good yields of
first-class tobacco. Heavy phases of
pebble soil, especially those in a high
state of cultivation, produced tobac- i
co that was too coarse and too dark |
in color. There was a great deal j
more disease known as “wild fire”
and “frog-eye” on the heavy soils;
on many fields half the leaves would
rot before the tobacco ripened. No
doubt this condition was aggravated
by excessive rains. While it is prob
ably that with normal seasons heavy
phases of pebble soil will produce
tobacco of superior quality, although
not quite as many pounds. Pebble
soils as a whole give large yields per
acre. The ones in a high state of
cultivation are likely to contain an
over-abundance of ammonia.
Some tobacco was .grown on the
Ruston sandy loam but the growth
was not as good as on Norfolk sandy
loam and the quality of tobacco was
inferior.
Tobacco has made only a fair show- j
ing on the soils-near the coast in
Camden, Mclntosh and Bryan coun
ties. The yield was good but the
quality of the leaf is not equal to
that grown in some other counties.
It is possible, however, that some of
the best drained types may prove to
be excellent tobacco soils.
The Norfolk series are probably
the most important tobacco soils in
the state: of this series the Norfolk
sandy loam has given the largest
yields. The body and quality are
good. On the Norfolk fine sand the
yield, has not been quite as good and
the leaf has not shown as mucii body
■but has excellent color and quality.
The Norfolk coarse sand has given
poorest yields and tobacco of least
body.
A soil possessing ideal mechanical
and chemical requirements may be
entirely unsuited to tobacco it it has
poor drainage. It is detrimental to
a tobacco plant to stand for any
length of'time in a water-logged soil.
Land that has been cultivated for
some time is preferred to freshly
cleared land. When grown on fresh
land the leaves are thin and life
less. The bottom leaves usually be
gin to waste away before they are
ripe. Tobacco grows best after a
clean cultivated crop like tobacco.
While tobacco does not exhaust the
soil more than some other crops, it
is advisable to practice a rotation
rather than to grow tobacco on the
same fields continuously. There will
be less trouble from disease and in
sects and the fertility of the soil
will be more economically maintain
ed.' A reasonable amount of humus
is desirable. Weeds, which are al
lowed to grow on the land and are
plowed under early in the fall, give
about the right amount of humus.
Tobacco grows well after cotton,
wheat, oats, and sweet potatoes.
Velvet beans add a great deal of
ammonia to the soil which makes it
difficult to determine how much ni
trogen is required. If too much ni
trogen is present, the tobacco does
not ripen properly and becomes
coarse and dark. Therefore, it is
not advisable to plant tobacco after
velvet beans- or where a large crop
of cowpeas has been turned under.
When tobacco is planted after wheat
or oats it is advisable not to plant
any peas after the grain is cut, but
allow the weeds to grow, and turn
them under in the early fall. There
I is no objection to planting tobacco
after peanuts if the entire peanut
crop is harvested.
; The character of the tobacco pro
] duced will depend almost as much
upon how the fields have been han
; died ip the rotation between the
1 crops of tobacco as upon the fer-
I tilizer used or upon the cultivation
! given to the tobacco itself.
BEANS AS FORAGE FOR I.IVE
STOCK
G. B„ Byromville, Ga., writes:
I am sending a sample of beans
and would like to know if they
will make good stock feed.
The sample of beans sent us goes
by a variety of names. They are
sometimes called “stock” beans. The
plant is characterized by the de
velopment of -enormous pods. The
beans contain a large amount of
nutriment, and, under certain circum
stances, could be used to advantage
for stock food. Our experience and
observation with sort of bean, how
ever, lead us to the conclusion that
a much larger or even more de
sirable food for the nutrition of
live stock can be produced in Geor
gia from the growth of certain other
crops. Among these we would men
tion, first, the velvet bean; second,
the cowpea and, third, the soy bean.
We believe these to be stated in
the order of their importance for
growth in your section of the state.
The velvet bean, as you doubtless
know, can be planted by itself or
preferably with corn. It may be
planted alongside the drill or even
in the drill, or it can be planted in
the middles of five-foot rows. We
prefer to plant it with corn. In our
judgment, the velvet bean will make
the largest amount of grain for
feed with corn of any legume you
can grow with this crop. Cowpeas
do not make a very large yield of
grain when grown with corn. Vel
vet beans would probably do better
in this respect, though we have
never thought this crop as well
adapted to south as to north Geor
gia.
Cattle, as you doubtless know, will
harvest velvet beans in the field, or
they may be gathered in the hull
and soaked to soften them and then
fed in troughs along with silage or
other forms of roughage.
GEORGIA AGRICULTURAL PARA
DISE
C. L. IL, Cordele, Ga., writes:
I have recently moved here from
north Georgia, and am advised
that this section will grow some
fifteen to eighteen different crops,
and would like to have the names
of those you think would be ad
vantageous for me to cultivate.
There is no reason why as many as
fifteen crops should not be grown
successfully in the section of Geor
gia in which you are located.
Cotton can be grown to consid
erable a-dvantage even in spite of
the boll weevil provided right va
rieties arc selected, proper cultiva
tion and fertilization followed, early
planting practiced and a systematic
fight conducted against weevil depre
dations. Corn is naturally a crop
of first importance to your section.
Some upland varieties do exception
ally well. You' can also grow vel
vet beans with excellent results. Cer
tain types of your soils are well
adapted for the growth of bright
tobacco. Cowpeas can be grown to
good advantage for hay. It may be
combined with millet for this pur
pose with good results. Oats, rye or
wheat may be grown as winter crops
with both profit and advantage. Pea
nuts do well on your lighter types
of soil. Both the saccharine and
the non -saccharine sorghums can be
cultivated to advantage for hay,
forage or silage production. Sugar
cane can be grown with success, and
of course, there is practically no
truck crop which undex - proper man
agement and handling will not yield
a good return in your section. You
can also have fairly good pasture
areas on your lower and bottom lands
Carpet grass and Dallis grass are
among the most promising varieties
for cultivation in your section. It
is thus easy to see that few parts
of the country are more favored in
the matter of soil and climatic con
ditions than the territory contiguous
to Cordele. In that section you may

States.
Planting' Corn Varieties in Alternate
Rows
C. W. F., Marietta, Ga., writes:
If I plant two different varieties
of corn in alternate rows will
the crossing of this corn affect
the yield of either this year? I
wish to try Out the two varie
ties for yield old, and am com
pelled to plant them this year
because of the nature of the
land, and would like to know if
it will be a fair test.

Prevent Black Rot in Sweet Potatoes;
Diseases Prevented by Treatment of Seed
Disease was especially noticeable
in potato exhibits at the Southeast
ern Fail- in Atlanta, although this
stock was selected for quality.
Not many growers distinguish be
tween the soil stain (scurf) disease,
which ordinarily results in little
damage, and the black rot disease,
which may completely destroy the
crop.
Soil stain is a surface trouble,
never penetrating the skin. Soil
stain is just as much a disease as
is black rot, although it does not
directly produce a rot of the potato.
Affected potatoes are very apt to
shrink abnormally In storage and
are much more susceptible to stor
age rots. Again, the presence of
the soil stain discoloration may very
effectively prevent one distinguish
ing small blacj? rot spots which,
when put in storage, completely
destroy the affected potatoes.
Soil Stain
Soil stain may be distinguished
by its superficial ■ character —when
the skin is rubbed off the flesh of
the root appears healthy.
Black rot spots are more regular
in outline and always penetrate the
inner skin with a dark brown rot.
A few days aftei’ potatoes are
dug the black rot spots appeal
rather sunken. In storage the spots
take on a metalic luster and the
flesh adjacent the diseased tissue is
bitter to the taste.
Prevent Diseases
The diseases of sweet potatoes
may be prevented by care in seed
selection, seed treatment, crop ro
tation and propel- storage of bed
ding stock. The following points
may be briefly considered:
1. Field selection of seed potatoes.
Avoid hills which have diseased or
unhealthy vines, and hills in which
the base of the vines are dead.
2. Selection of healthy seed pota
toes. Avoid any roots which show
black rot, soil stain, or other di
sease. Choose only smooth, well
colored, medium sized potatoes.
3. Proper storage of seed pota
toes. Banks and pits cannot be re-
dred to one hundred and twenty
yards apart on areas of land as near
ly alike in the matter of fertility
and general character as possible. I
believe for the purpose you have in
mind that planting in the manner in
dicated, however, will give you a
fair enough test to enable you to
make the determination you wish.
Os course it is hard to determine in
one year the relative merits of two
varieties of corn.
We find in our tests conducted
here at Athens, for instance, that
the same strains make an entirely
different record one year as. compar
ed with another. I noticed not long
ago where some variety of corn made
a yield during a dry season of about
ten bushels. When planted under al
most the same conditions in a favor
able season, the yield ran up to
about thirty-eight bushels. We en
deavor, as a rule, to grow varieties
of corn for several years in succes
sion under as nearly uniform condi
tions as possible before attempting
to reach a conclusion as to the rela
tive merits of the varieties under
test. In our experience here at Ath
ens, the upland varieties have proven
the most desirable for growth one
year as compared with another. Os
course, on rich, moist land the big
sorts will probably out-yield the
small varieties.
Adopting a Ration to the Cow’s needs
.1. B. C., Agricola, Ga., writes.
I have a cow with a calf three
rndnthS old. She has no appe
tite except for dirt. She is poor
and acts like she is hungry, but
will not eat. She only gives
about one gallon of milk a day.
With her other calf she gave
four gallons. I give her all the
cottonseed hulls .and meal she ,

I WPuld be-glad ife you can tell
me what to do to restore the
milk flow and put her in good
health. ‘ j
Your cow is suftering from chronic
indigestion browght. ,g.hoitt, no doubt,
by a variety of causes. This is a
difficult trouble to' treat satisfactor
ily, and it will require the exercise
of patience and skill to restore this
animal to a state of vigorous health.
It can be done, however, and we sug
gest that you proceed along the lines
indicated to the attainment of this
end.
First of all see that the stable and
manger is cleaned out and put in the
best of condition. Then examine the
feed to see that it is free from mold
or dirt. This is a most important
matter. Feed only easily digested,
laxative food. Cut out cottonseed
meal and hulls altogether. Feed
sparingly of the green rye. Secure
wheat bran and pour boiling water
.over it and then feed it in moderate
quantities together with some chop
ped hay or fodder. If the manure is
offensive in odor, give a drench of
Epsom salts to cleanse the alimen
tary tract. One pound of glauber
salts dissolved in a quart of linseed
tea and a pint of molasses will be
found efficacious for this purpose.
Take two oqnces of calomel and boil
for twenty minutes in a quart of

lied upon. An improved storage
house should be provided. Bedding
•stock should be carefully seasoned
and the rules of storage closely ob
served.
4. Spring selection of bedding
stock. Just prior to bedding the
seed stock is again ported over, dis
carding bad potatoes.
5. Treatment of bedding stock:
Dip seed potatoes in a barrel (wood
vessel) containing corrosive subli
mate (bichloride of mercury) in
solution (proportion of 1 oz. corro
sive sublimate to 8 gallons of water)
for 10 to 15 minutes. Bed at once.
6. Clean bed. All diseases may be
carried over in the bed. Use clean
soil. Disinfect frames. Cover seed
potatoes with clear sand.
7. Crop rotation. The diseases of
sweet potatoes are carried over in
the soil. When other crops are
planted for 2 or 3 years the dis
eases gradually die out and potatoes
may again be planted.
8. Avoid diseased manure. Diseased
manure which, when scattered on the
potato field, will introduce diseases
into clean soils. Boiling the pota
toes before feeding will destroy
the disease organisms.
In a demonstration potato slips
bought on the open market produced
from 30 per cent to 50 per cent of
a stand, while slips grown accord
ing to the above rules produced 95
per cent to 100 per cent of a stand.
In other words the extra care more
than doubled the yield of potatoes,
in addition to the superior quality.

HOW TO RAISE I
BABYCHICKS
Put Avicol in the drinking water.
Most people lose half of every hatch,
and seem to expect it Chick cholera or
white diarrhoea is the trouble. The U. S. “'
Ooveahment states that i over half the J
chicks hatched die from this cause. >
An Avicol tablet ’'
placed in the drinking
< * X. ■Aa water, will positively
save your little chicks
from all such diseases.
Inside of 48 hours the
TWT sick ones will be as lively ; j
V as crickets. Avicol keeps
them healthy and makes t;.
„ them grow and develop.
Mrs. Vannle Thackery, JL F. D. 3, St .J
Paris, 0., writes. ‘‘l had 90 chicks and
they all died but 32. Then I commenced
on Avicol and haven't lost any aince. ’
They have grown wonderfully*.” :
It costs nothing to try Avicol. If you
don't find that it prevents and promptly
cures white diarrhoea, chick cholera and
all bowel diseases of poultry,.tell us and <'
your money will be refunded by return
mail. Avicol is sold by most druggists
and poultry remedy dealers, or you can
