AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
GEORGIA
Tn round numbers there are thir
ty-seven’and a half million acres of
land in Georgia. What is this land
worth"? What does it represent in
present or future potentialities? It
Is the most fundamental of dur re
sources and yet probably the least
appreciated or understood. We have
only begun to scratch the surface
of the ground, and, up to the pres
ent time, we have wasted more of
this golden treasure of plant food
than we have utilized. I believe 1
am safe in saying that we have de
stroyed as much wealth in the crea
tion of things we now possess as
that represented in dollars and cents
at present value. Such a wasteful
and destructive nolicy cannot con
tinue always, an" it behooves us
once in a while to stop and take ac
count of what we own- and what
our revenues may be made in view
of the new facts which science and
investigation are constantly bring
ing to light. If we fnay judge of
what has been accomplished in other
parts of the world, 37,500,000 acres
of land may be made to feed and
clothe a population of 15,000.000 to
25.000,000 people. All of these folks
would not be required to operate the
land, but a good portion of them
would be engaged in industries c-f
a more or less varied character. They
would, of course, have to be sup
plied with the raw materials on
which commerce and industry are
based, but the .soils under judicious
management should be able to easily
meet the requirements of the situa
tion. . . d, .
Can any human bfeing imagine What
Georgia would be like if developed
on the basis described above? I
think not. But there is no section
of the earth where a higher. ciliviza
tion could or would prevail than
would- exist in Georgia if the ends
indicated were attained. This pic
ture of the imagination will be re
alized some day. In fact, it is now
in the making. The perfection of
the task will be brought about in
a shorter or longer* period of time
in proportion as we come to a bet
ter understanding of the forces of
nature which a wise and generous
providence has placed at our disposal
Upon the intelligent interpretation
and utilization of these agencies will
the degree of progress we make in
the future depend. The future is,
therefore, all that we could ask or
hope it to be, and the sole question
to be considered now is the degree
of intelligent interest and skill we
shall exercise in making it as al
luring as the prospects warrant.
This being true, let us now consider
the present status of our farming
Interests.
■Of the indicated area of Georgia,
only about 26,000,000 acres are in
farms. Os this amount, only 12,500,-
000 acres would be classed as im
proved land. The balance would be
represented by wooded or semi-wood
ed areas, by cut-over, waste, or
eroded land, by sWamp sections,
lowlands and .pastures. From the
so-called 12,000,000 acres of im
proved land we are obtaining a mar
velous return, for statistics indicate
these lands produce $625,000,000 in
agricultural crop values in 1919. This
places us sixth among the sister-
hood of the states in the matter of
agricultural products. In addition to
the above, we must take into consid
eration the $125,000,000 in revenues
obtained from animals. We now
stand seventeenth in the matter of
animal production, and so in this
particular we have left behind a
great majority of the other states.
If we add these two huge sums to
gether, namely, the money derived
from crop production and that de*
rived from animal production, we
obtain the huge total of $750,000,000
a year. This represents new wealth.
It has been generated out of our
soils and developed through the
agency of the animals maintained
from crops raised on our lands. It
represents the applied skill, the
brains and the enthusiasm and pur
poseful efforts of our people. It
shows that we are among the most
favored states in the union and in
the great outside world as well. It
is an indication of our future pos
sibilities as an agricultural and in
dustrial state.
The aggregate of wealth manufac
tured annually is so large as to make
it appear at first sight that Geor
gia is, indeed, a paradise of rural
wealth and progress. In many re
spects this is true, but let us remem
ber in this connection that our yields
per acre are still astonishingly low.
Our average yield of corn Is around
fifteen bushels per acre, of wheat,
about ten bushels; of Irish potatoes,
seventy bushels, and of sweet pota
toes, ninety-two bushels. Our yield
of cotton last year was around 156
pounds of lint per acre. All our oth
er crop out-turns are proportionate
ly low. If we could bring the aver
age of production up by one-third,
what a marvelous increase .it would
mean in our wealth. If we could dou
ble our yields, and they could be
easily doubled, we would be literally
‘‘rolling in wealth.” If we trebled
or quadrupled our average yields, as
is already done on a small percentage
of our farms, we would hardly know
what to do with the money. At best,
our agricultural practice is still crude
and undeveloped. Thousands of our
farmers are making but a mere ex
istence from the soil. Our average
yields are entirely too low.
We can change all this very eas
ily and quickly. By doing so, we
would put our state on an entirely
different economic basis. I paint this
side of the picture to let our people
see that in spite of the marvelous
amount of money made from our
lands last year, we are still operating
op a very inefficient and unsatisfac
tory basis and that the future holds
unlimited possibilities for the wise,
capable, judicious and efficient agri
culturist. There is practically no
limit to the development and ad
vancement which we may make
through the replacement of mere
music and brawn with scien
tific skill and intelligent concentrat
ed effort.
Tn this connection we must remem
ber that the result of doubling our
yields on the present cultivated
areas would bring an annual revenue
to Georgia farmers of $1,500,000,000.
Suppose now we take the other four
teen million acres of unimproved
land on our farms and make them as
productive as the other twelve and
a half million acres we now culti
vate. We would then be raising more
than $1,500,000,000 of agricultural and
live stock products a year. Suppose
we take the fourteen million acres
and double the present average yields.
We would then be making about $3,-
000,000,000 worth of agricultural and
animal products per year. Is the
attainment of this end possible? It
certainly is, and it could be brought
about in a surprisingly short time.
We do not need to secure additional
information to consummate this un
dertaking. We already possess the
scientific facts on which to base a
much higher and more profound agri
cultural practice than we are now
following.
After we have accomplished this
stupendous development program, we
would still have left more than ten
million acres of land to be devoted
to any purpose we see proper. No
doubt an area as large as this could
profitably be set aside for the growth
and maintenance of state forests.
These lands could be made to yield
an annual increment of at least $lO
per acre, thereby adding each year
$100,000,000 to our weath and pro
viding us with the timber so essen
tial to the support of our varied in
dustries.
In ipite of the marvelous growth
which has taken, place in the last de
cade, therefore, Georgia, the great
est of the southern states, the em
pire state of the south, in fact, has
just begun to suspect the boundless
possibilities for development which
lie ahead. Bike the young athlete
freshly trained and ready for the
race, she stands at the mark ready
to go forward and lead the vanguards
of civilization to new heights of ad
vancement and success. If we mix
brains with brawn, if we take ad
vantage of our local conditions and
opportunities, there is no way of de
termining the progress which xve
shall make in the next decade. Geor
gia offers the most alluring field of
privilege to the young manhood of
the state and nation. He who so de
sires may carve out for himself a
patrimony of the richest character
and at the same time contribute his
proper quota to the total of human
happiness and prosperity.
Controlling Bud Worm Damage
W. P. G., Groveland, Ga.,
writes: The bud worms de
stroy my corn in the bottoms.
Please give me ' a* remedy. I
have enough compost from cat
tle and goats to go on about thir
ty acres of land. Should it be put
in the drill row or put around
the corn at the first plowing?
There are two kinds of bud worms
which attack corn—those which bore
in the stalk and destroy the plant
and those which attack the silk and
eat our the kernels at toe end of the
cob. There is’ no very satisfactory
way of combating either one of these
pests. In any event, a rotation of
crops should be practiced. Fall plow
ing should also be followed. The
planting of an excessive amount of
seed in each hill will sometimes
prove helpful. The early planting of
corn sometimes enables the crop to
mature without injury.'. But in the
south there are likely to be several
generations of bud worms during a
season. Hence, late planted corn is
likely to be injured more severely
even than early planted conn. In a
few instances spraying thefears of
the corn with lead arsenic has been
undertaken with some measure of
success. If this practice is followed,
dissolve two pounds of lead arsenic
in fifty gallons of water, stirring
thoroughly, and apply as a fine spray.
Dusting the silk with poison has
also been practiced in some in
stances. In that event, about two ta
blespoonsful of Paris green should
be mixed with a quart of corn meal
and dusted into the end of the ear.
The use of this poison is. apparently,
not objectionable as most of it will
be washed away.before very long by
a heavy fall of rain. These are about
the only sugggestions we can offer
which are likely to prove helpful
under the circumstances.
The compost to which you refer
should be put under the drill row
if you only have a small amount of
it. If you have a sufficient quantity
to use as much as from four to five
tons per acre, broadcast it over the
land and work it well into the soil
by cross-disking. If the land is not
already plowed, turn it under. When
a smaller amount of compost is used,
say from two to three tons per acre,
it is desirable to put this material
under the drill row and mix well
with the subsoil by means of a
scooter or bull tongue. The ferti
lizer should then be put in and the
seed planted as soon as seasonal
conditions will permit.
Making Two Bales Per Acre
F. J. H., Marietta, Ga., writes:
I have four acres of dark gray
land that with 200 pounds of gu
ano will make 1,200 pounds of
seed cotton. I want to make two
bales this year. -I am thinking
of mixing my own guano. What
ingredients should I use and in
what proportion?
Good formulas may be prepared
from various combinations of the ma
terials mentioned in your letter. The
nitrogen in any of the carriers of
this element about which you in
quire will be found efffective and
desirable. The nitrogen in nitrate
of soda becomes more quickly avail-
able than in that of any of the other
materials mentioned. Dried blood is
also a satisfactory carrier of nitro
gen to use under field crops. The ni
trogen in cotton seed meal is desira
ble from the farmers’ point of view:
but it is so costly this year that we
would rather suggest the use of ni
trate of soda or blood in its placfc.
Under the circumstances, we would
make a mixture consisting of 1,200
pounds of acid phosphate, 500 pounds
of nitrate of soda and 300 pounds of
kainit. This would give you a for
mula containing around 9 1-2 per
cent of available phosphoric acid,
3 1-2 per cent of available nitrogen
and 1 1-2-2 per cent of potash. If
used at the rate of three to five hun
dred pounds per acre, it should give
you excellent results under cotton
on land of the type described in your
letter.
An Enterprising Ex-Solfl.ier Fanner
J. L. J., Nicholson, Ga.. writes:
I anl an ex-soldier and have re
turned home to look after the
farm, and I want to use the best
methods so as to raise bigger
crops on fewer acres. What is
the best fertilizer to use on gray
soil for cotton and corn? How
is the best way to get rid of
wild onions? Will it pay to use
fertilizer very heavily at the
price it is selling?
It is a special pleasure to be priv
ileged to serve the interests of an ex
soldier who has served his country
so acceptably in the great world’s
crisis. It is gratifying to know that
you have returned to the farm, and
I am sure everyone wishes you suc
cess in your specialized field.
Your idea of producing larger
crops on fewer acres is the policy
which will win in the long run. You
do not state whether your gray land
had a red subsoil or if it is of sandy
character. We presume, however,
that it is the typical gray land of
north Georgia. On such a soil, we
believe taht 3 1-2 per cent of nitro
gen, 9 per cent of phosphoric acid
and 3 per cent of potash can be used
to advantage on cotton. The same
formula will answer for corn, except
that we would prefer to use a side
application with this crop of from 50
to 100 pounds of nitrate of soda per
acre.
The best means of fighting wild
onions with which we are acquaint
ed is shallow plowing the land in
the fall. This operation should be
repeated two or three times during
the winter. By doing this, the onion
sets are brought nearer the surface
of the ground and a large percentage
of them are destroyed by the freezes
which occur from time to time
throughout the winter.
The only way to avoid the liberal
and continued use of fertilizers on
your farm is through the establish
. ment of a crop rotation system and
the maintenance of a sufficiently
large number of livestock to provide
the farm with considerable quantities
of yard manure. ‘ Peas and other
legumes cap be used to advantage
for soil building. Situated as you
are, we should break the land as
thoroughly as this can be done. This
work should he done immediately.
Then prepare it as carefully as pos
sible for both corn and cotton. Plant
as early as seasonal conditions will
permit. Use a minimum of 300
pounds of the formula suggested'un
der the drill row’ at the time of plant
ing. We do not think 500 pounds
Is too much to use under cotton. We
do not believe that under existing
conditions you will find side applica- 1
tions of fertilizers to cotton of much
benefit. I imagine the weevil will
not damage you seriously this year,
but it may prove quite troublesome.
Hence, only that cotton will be ma
tured which is set on early and de
velops before the weevil has much
chance to attack it.
Growing Fifty Bushels of Corn Fer
Acre
A. E. W., Philomath, Ga.,
writes: Please tell me how to
plant and make fifty bushels of
corn on an acre of land. I have
plenty of manure to use. What
kind of seed corn should I use,
and also how much guano?
No doubt you have broken the land
you intend to devote to corn. If this
has not been done, attend to the mat
ter as promptly as possible. Stirring
the soil to a good depth for corn is
desirable. It is, of course, important
that the breaking be done well in
advance of the planting so that a
firm seed bed may be secured. Be
fore you break the land you should
distribute over it a liberal coating
of the yard manure of which you say
there is a plentiful supply available.
Ten tons per acre will not be too
much to use. Some prefer to put the
manure on top of the ground after
the land has been plowed and disc
it into the soil. There is no objec
tion to this.
In addition to the above, you
should use on each acre of land an
application of not less than 300
pounds of acid phosphate and 100
pounds of kainit. A little nitrogen
could probably be used to advantage,
though this is not necessarily so es
sential on land where no yard manure
is available. You could put the fer
tilizer under the drill row when the
corn is planted. Any standard up
land variety may be used with sat
isfaction. We have found the Ma-l
boro, Whatley’s Prolific. Hastings,
Sparks and other prolific varieties
useful for growth on land of the
type you describe. Planting may
done at any time after the 15th of
March, provided the ground is warm
enough to insure rapid germination
We would plant the corn ini rows
from four to four and one-half feet
wide, leaving one stalk every eight
een inches in the drill row.
Choosing a Fertilizer for Cotton
A F D., Woodville. Ga., writes: I
can ’ btiv a 9-3-3 fertilizer for $55.00.
Please let me know if this would be a
good guano for cotton.
A 9 J 3-3 formula should be quite
well adapted to the needs of cotton
on thd type of land found in the
vicinity of Woodville, Ga. This is
about the grade of fertilizer we have
been uping for some years past on
our college farm here at Athens for
cotton. Last year we secured con
siderably better than a bale of cotton
under field conditions with five to
six hundred pounds of a formula
such as you have indicated. Our ex
perience has led us to believe that. it
is best to put the fertilizer under the
drill row when cotton is planted.
Sometimes we seed our cotton and
put on the fertilizer at the same time.
Sometimes we strew the fertilizer in
the drill row and mix it with the
subsoil by means of a buyy tongue
and then bed thereon. There will be
little time for good preparation this
spring so we will presumably put
our fertilizer down at the time the
cotton is planted.
GROWING PEANUTS COMMER
CIALLY
T. H. M., Clyo, Ga., writes: I want
to grow pennuts this year for the niar
yet. What kind must I plant, and what
kind of fertilizer and how much should
be used? When should they be planted,
and how cultivated?
The White Spanish peanut will
prove the most satisfactory for you
to grow to sell to oil mills. It will
give a large out-turn of oil per acre
or per ton. It stands high in respect
to the yield of oil it will make, and.
if you grow a good crop, you should
obtain a premium on it when you of
fer it for sale. In other words, it
should be sold by you on the basis
of its oil content. As you doubtless
know, peanuts vary greatly in respect
to the yield of oil they make. There
is a difference in some instances of
as much as SSO per ton. in respect
to this element. Under the circum
stances, you will see the Importance
of securing a well selected strain of
seed and then handling and selling
on the basis suggested.
For peanuts we advise the use of
two to three hundred pounds of acid
phosphate and the equivalent of the
potach in 100 pounds of kainit. If
you cannot secure the kainit, prob
ably there may be some unleached
wood ashes available you can
distribute over your ground at the
rate say of 1,000 pounds per acre.
Do not mix the ashes with the acid
phosphate. We would plant this crop
in rows about twenty-four to thirty
six inches apart, depending on the
natural fertility of the land. It
should be given rapid, clean cultiva
tion until the vines begin to ‘‘peg
TIMELY HINTS
TO THE PERSON
WHO GARDENS
Before beginning to plant the gar
den, care should be taken that the
soil is dry enough so that it will
crumble in the hands. In planning
What to raise, it is wise for the
gardener to confine himself to the
finer vegetables and those which are
easily perishable, as these cannot be
procured at the stores in first-class
condition.
Rich Soil for Feas
To insure a large and early crop
of peas, put about four or five,
inches of manure in deep furrows
and drop the seeds directly on top.
This should be done as soon as the
ground can be worked. In raising
lettuce, plant only a short row at a
time as it soon gets too old to be
good.
Chinese Cabbage
The seed of spinach should be
planted only a,fter the ground gets
v arm after having been soaked over
night. The plants should not be
crowded. A not very well-known
but excellent vegetable is Chinese
cabbage. It can be .cooked like ordi
nary .cabbage, but the best way to
prepare it is as served with
mayonnaise or French dressing. The
seeds should not be planted until
late June.
Chicory Is Profitable
Chicory makes an excellent salad.
The seed should be planted early
and the plants must be well culti
vated. In the fall, the roots are
dug up and stored in a cold place.
They must be forced from time to
time in boxes of earth in the cel
lar. From these roots come the
white heads which are sold as
French endive in restaurants at ex
orbitant prices.
All these early crops must be
grown quickly, which can be accom
plished only by well-enriched
ground.
Don’t Buy a Horse Till
You Know He’s Sound
The soundness of a horse is one
of the first considerations of the
buyer, and should be of the breeder.
If the animal is not sufficiently sound
to withstand the use for which he
is intended, the logical time to learn,
of this is before the purchase.
Selection must be based primarily
on a thorough, systematic examina
tion; the examination should be based
on a clear knowledge of desirable
and undesirable qualities.
Not only the presence of unsound
ness, but also the condition or seri
ousness of the unsoundness should
be noted.
Temporary unfitness should be dis
tinguished from permanent unsound
ness.
A hurried examination is likely to
prove a disappointment.
Observe blemishes, vice, faulty
conformation, unsoundness and gen
eral characteristics.
Common blemishes are scars from
old wounds, boll eveil, scratches, shoe
boils and small ruptures.
Common vices are halter pulling,
cribbing, kicking, stall walking weav
ing and biting.
Common faults of conformation
are straight shoulders, crooked, weak
or improperly set legs, ewe neck,
long, weak back and drooping croup.
Common unsoundnesses lire splints,
thoroughpin. spavin, curb, extreme
fistula, ringbone, side bones, extreme
atrophy of muscles, contracted ten
dons and broken wind.
General characteristics include
fleshing, temperament, qiiality, color
and age.
In final selection, look for the
good qualities and weigh them
against the defects.

Flanting Tennessee Millet on Low
Ground
L. N. S., Appalachee, Ga.. writes: I
wish to plant some rather wet land to
a hay crop, and wish to know if Ger
man millet would be desirable for thia
purpose if planted on a piece of well
drained new bottom land? Would it
make a crop if sown now?
Tennessee or German millet may
be planted on land such as you have
described at this season of the year
With very good advantage. If sown
now, millet should yield a crop of
hay in sixty to ninety days. It is a
quick maturing crop, and will make a
yield of from one to five tons per
acre of cured hay. Much depends
on the richness of the land, the meth
od of fertilization followed and sea
sonal conditions. On rich bottom
land you may not find it necessary to
apply any fertilizer, but on our or
dinary, average Georgia soils 300
pounds of an 8-3 could be used to ad
vantage. The fertilizer should of
course be put on at the time the mil
let is seeded. We prefer always to
drill in this crop rather than to
broadcast it. When drilling is fol
lowed less seed is' required and a
better covering of the seed is secured.
Millet should be cut for hay when
just coming into the dough stage. If
allowed "to become riper than this,
the seed may over-stimulate the se
cretion of urine which materially
lessens the desirability and value of
the crop as a hay. Use about a peck
to a half bushel per acre, and you
may plant as soon as the land is in
good condition for seeding. Millet
will sometimes make a second crop
from the original stand, but this is
not likely to happen under the cli
matic conditions prevailing in Geor
gia as the hot, dry weather of the
summer will probably kill It out. ‘
This crop may be sown in the fall
for hay making purposes. You
could, of course, use Sudan grass in
place of millet if you prefer. It will
maintain itself better .during the sea
son and, under favorable conditions
may yield two or three cuttings in
the year. • We do not think Sudan
grass will make as fine and desirable
hay. however, as that obtained from
millet.

For More Than Forty Years
Cotton Growers have known that
POTASH PAYS
More than 11,651,200 Tons of Potash Salts
had been imported and used in the United
States in the 20 years previous to January,
1915, when shipments ceased. Os this 6,460,-
700 Tons consisted of
KAINIT
which the cotton grower knew was both a plant
food and a preventive of blight and rust, —with ’
it came also 1,312,400 Tons of
20 per cent
MANURE SALT
which has the same effects on Cotton, but which was
used mainly in mixed fertilizers.
Shipments of both Kainit and Manure Salt have
been resumed but the shortage of coal and cars and
high freight rates make it more desirable to ship
Manure Salt, which CONTAINS 20 PER CENT OF
ACTUAL POTASH, instead of Kainit, which con
tains less than 13 per cent actual Potash.
MANURE SALT can be used as a side dressing
on Cotton in just the same way as Kainit and will
give the same results. Where you used 100 pounds
of Kainit, you need to use but 62 pounds of Manure
Salt, or 100 pounds of Manure Salt go as far as 161
pounds of Kainit.
MANURE SALT has been coming forward in
considerable amounts and cotton growers, who can
not secure Kainit, should make an effort to get
Manure Salt for side dressing to aid in making a big
Cotton Crop.
Muriate of Potash
50 per cent actual Potash, has been coming forward
also, —100 pounds of Muriate are equivalent to 400
pounds of Kainit or 250 pounds of Manure Salt.
These are the three
Standard GERMAN Potash Salts
that were always used in making cotton fertilizers
and have been used for all these years with great
profit and WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THE
CROP.
The supply is not at present as large as in former
years, but there is enough to greatly increase the
Cotton Crop if you insist on your dealer making the
necessary effort to get it for you.
