AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE What About Alfalfa? It would seem as though enough had been said and written about al falfa to insure its production on ev ery acre of land in Georgia suscep tible of growing it successfully. As a matter of fact, if you ride across tue> country for a long distance, you will just see here and there a little el alfalfa. Wherever it oc curs it seems to give an air of beau ty, prosperity and permanency that nothing else does. It is one of the most attractive of nature’s crops, and it returns to the landowner larger yields and profits than al most an.thing he can plant. Why not nave an area of alfalfa on every one of oar Georgia farms? This is a burning question and ought to be one of the greatest Issues before the people of the state. A five to ten acre tract of alfalfa on every Geor gia farm capable of growing it would transform the nature and character of our agriculture, would add materially to the prosperity’ of our state and prevent the shipment out of Georgia annually of millions of dollars for hay and grain/ It would place our live stock interests on a much firmer basis and insure their expansion to a degree commen surate with our needs. It would make us a great and successful poul try raising state. It would replace the losses which the invasion of the boll weevil causes to our cotton farmers. It would prove a friend and liberator in she broadest sense of that term. Os course alfalfa cannot be grown successfully on every farm in the -■■ate, but experience and investiga -.-A now show that it can be raised GUAKAJVTECD jSK7«?\Send N° Money \ Positively greatest tire offer tiR \ ever made!

It does not seem to do so well on the lighter and smaller types of soil, but it rrtay be that we shall yet discover types suited to the needs of such areas. At present, very little money has been made available to study the problems associated with the suc cessful extension of the areas devot ed to alfalfa in Georgia. Those who are familiar with the situation know that there is much still to be discov ered that is of vital importance to the welfare of our people. The state could make no better investment than to encourage the work which has been instituted along this line by the Georgia State College of Ag riculture. Up to the present time it would ap pear that there are a number of va rieties of alfalfa now not cultivated in the state that are better adapted to our climate and soils than those on which we have been relying in the past. Our general , experience leads us to conclude that some va rieties developed in South America offer special promises for cultiva tion on an extensive scale in this state. Only a beginning has been made in testing out thp adaptability of the various strains cultivated in the west, and there are .plenty of new sorts of alfalfa which, so far as we now know, have never been grown even in an experimental way in the state of Georgia. Aside and beyond this situation, however, let us review the present status of al falfa production in Georgia and see how those interested in its cultiva tion should proceed- in order to es tablish it successfully. Mendon has already been made of the type of soil to which it is best adapted. The first thing, therefore, is to choose a proper site. This should be a well drained area. Uplands have proven more successful in our experience than bottom lands. Alfalfa will not stand prolonged overflow. The crop does best on a well-drained, rather porous soil. There are undoubtedly many areas on which an effort has been made to establish it and where a record of failure has been written. All these lands needed was tile drainage, and some of them only required better surface drainage or deeper preparation prior to plant ing. Lots of our soils have been cul tivated so shallowly for years past that a hard-pan has formed a few inches below the surface which even the unusually vigorous tap-root of alfalfa cannot penetrate. Let us not charge the plant with failure to do its part until we are sure that we have provided it with a fair situa tion under which to grow and de velop. Having chosen a site, the next thing to do Is to break the land to a good depth. This may be done at any season of the year that will avoid the puddling of the sub soil. In preparing land for alfalfa, it is best to subsoil the ground. It is next desirable to increase the humus supply to an appreciable de gree. A legume should, therefore, b.e planted on the land. Os course any crop may be used for this purpose, but cowpeas, by reason of their pe culiar characteristics, are best suited for this purpose. The land should be limed before the peas are planted. A minimum of two tons of crushed, raw lime rock should be used for this purpose. Scatter the lime broadcast over the soil after It has been broken and work it well into the surface with a harrow. Fertilize the cow peas with acid phosphate applied at the rate of 300 pounds per acre. Use along with the acid phosphate 100 pounds of kainit or some other carrier of potash that will supply the same proportionate amount of potash. When the cowpeas are ready to cut for hay turn them under to the greatest depth practicable. Cow peas are usually in condition to cut for hay when the lower end of the pods and the peas down near the ground begin to turn yellow. Just as soon as the cowpeas are turned under, the land should be rolled. This is to firm and compact it. It should then be harrowed. By this means, the moisture from the lower soil will be brought promptly to the surface of the ground. This will cause the cowpeas to decay more quickly than would otherwise occur. If a harrow were not used, the moisture brought to the surface would escape into the air, thus causing the land to dry out. When this happens, the cow peas will fire-fang in the soil, and the nitrogen they contain would largely be lost into the air, the phy sical condition of-the land would not be improved as a result of turning them under and the benefits which it was expected to secure from the whole operation would be largely nullified. After cowpeas have been turned under and the land rolled and harrowed as indicated, put on two to three tons more of crushed lime rock. Rather finely ground rock should be given preference so that it will exert the largest measure of benefit in the soil in the shortest period of time. This lime should be harrowed into the surface areas and not be plowed under. The rea- son for this is self evident upon a little reflection because lime sinks rapidly into the soil even under the most unfavorable conditions. Thus it may soon get beyond the reach of the roots of growing plants. The land should now be worked once a week from the time the cowpeas have been plowed under until the date for seeding alfalfa is reached. This crop may be planted at any time from September 15 until November 1. Much depends on the location and the season. Opr results have been invariably best when early planting was practiced. Our idea would be to seed, therefore, as near to Octo ber as possible. This gives the young alfalfa plants a considerable time in which to establish themselves before hard freezes occur. Practically every stand we have ever lost has been killed by frost. In our dry au tumns it is often hard to get the crop out of the ground at the right time. -Germination frequently takes place rather late in the autumn. The plants are young and tender, and se vere frosts frequently destroy the greater part of them, thereby neces sitating the reseeding of the crop another year. Alfalfa should be sown on a rather dark, quiet day. It is not desirable to plant before a violent rainfall as this generally washes and gullies the field and pre vents the attainment of a uniform stand. It is best to seed in the eve ning because inoculation is neces sary with this crop. One may of course use either cultures or the soil from a field where it has been grown successfully in the past. We are satisfied that the cultures should be given preference. They are cheap er, relatively speaking, than the use of soil would prove to be. and, if the directions sent with them are carefully followed, good results are almost certain to follow. Where the artificial cultures are used them is no danger of conveying to the land fungous diseases which may prove injurious either to the alfalfa or to the other crops cultivated thereon at a later date. For this reason we prefer and recommend the use of the cultures which are now manufac tured by a large number of reputa ble concerns and can be purchased without difficulty at a fair price. Sow about twelve to twenty pounds of recleaned seed. That ob tained from the western part of the United States has proven to be more satisfactory, in our tests. It is cleaner and freer from -weeds and trash than the imported seed, and on that account, it is less likely to cause infestation with undesirable crop or plant dieases, many of which have come to us from foreign coun tries. Seed the alfalfa in such man ner as will insure the uniform dis tribution of the seed over the ground. A barrow seeder is a good type to use sos this purpose. Brush the seed into the ground with a weeder. It is not any use to plant alfalfa unless there is sufficient moisture to insure its rapid and uniform germination. After a stand is obtained, keep animals off the land during the winter. After a stand is obtained, keep animals off the Ignd during the winter. You cannot af ford to graze a new stand of alfalfa. The crop should be fertilized when it is planted with 500 to 1,000 pounds of a formula containing 3 1-2 to -1 per cent nitrogen, 9 to 10 per cent phosphoric acid and 4 to 5 per cent potash. We would prefer to put the fertilizer on a few days before the alfalfa is seeded. It should be well mixed with the sur face soil by means of a harrow. Alfalfa may be cut for hay the following spring, and, under nor mal conditions, five cuttings a year may be anticipated. We have se cured as high as six tons of cured hay from an acre, and we have had alfalfa produce an average of five tons of cured hay per acre for eight vears and upward in succession. With hay worth S6O per ton, what crop can a farmer grow that is likely to prove more profitable than an area of alfalfa? It would be ab surd and foolish, of course, to ad vocate the general cultivation of this crop to the exclusion of other crops; but there is room and urgent need on every Georgia farm for a patch of from five to ten acres of the most profitable and permanent hay cron we can undertake to grow in this state. Sunflowers as Chicken Feed C. F. H., Americus, Ga., writes: Last fall we planted fourteen acres with Augusta vetch and oats with the idea of turning the same under in the spring. The vetch did not do well. We would like some information in regard to the preparation of the seed bed and the care of the crop. Would like information in regard to growing sunflower seed for chickens. _ Our experience with the so-called Augusta, or Oregon vetch and the hairy vetch has been about as fol lows: We have not had much difficulty in securing a good stand of either one. The Oregon vetch grows off much sooner in the fall and early winter than the hairy vetch. It is not nearly so hardy as the latter. In our experience it has not out yielded the hairy vetch in the amount of grain of hay produced. We have never known the hairy vetch to fail to yield at least a partial crop. As a rule it makes a good «crop. The Oregon vetch has been killed out by a freeez on sev eral occasions when it promised to make an exceptionally fine yield. On that account we have abandoned its cultivation here altogether. It should, hqyvever, do well in the southern part of this state and par ticularly on the sandy lands in many, sections of the coastal plains area. The Oregon vetch may need to be inoculated on some soils and under certain conditions. This is especial ly desirable on land where vetch has hot been previously grown. We can not say in our own experience that inoculation has proven of any spe cial advantage, but this crop has been grown more or less on our land for some years and probably the es sential bacteria are more or less established in the soil already. On new lands, therefore, we would rather favor trying out inoculation on a moderate scale until convinced by experience that it was unneces sary. Vetch, of course, will prob ably give better results if lime has been applied to the area on which they are planted. Vetch could be grown to advantage after peanuts for the reason that land 1 devoted to this crop will, as a rule, be limed. Os course, few if an;# of the legumes do well on acid soil. The acidity seems to prevent the development of the desirable bacteria which do their best work on either slightly alkaline or neutral soils. We have never grown sunflowers on an extensive scale, but if they are cultivated for chicken feed, we would plant them in rows as soon as the ground is warm enough to in i sure rapid germination. We would I make the rows five to six feet wide, ' depending on the richness of the ■ land. They should be planted about i three feet apart in the drill. The : sunflower is a rapid grower and a gross feeder and unless planted on i very rich soil, they respond to the | use of a complete t'artilier. A 9-3-3 ! used at the rate of four hundred . pounds and upward per acre should I answer very well for this crop. 6,000 MILES Les* than Half Price a?w.sekd no money // rfca \Hereistheab»oluteilinltintire (offers—never before such won (AyC I Vai slerful values 1 Pay only when S convinced.

He wandered aimlessly over northern France and Belgium, seeking shelter and nourishment in camps of the various allied armies.

IN THE SPRING Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I’m going to tell you about the spring season in southwestern Alabama, if you will listen. No poet could give as pretty a description as the natural beauty of things here. I’m not good on describing things, as you will see, but please don’t get restless if you can help it. The gardens ifre beautiful here, with young beans, cabbage, collards, peas, onions and other things, but the 'strawberry patch is the prettiest. The green leaves of the strawberry bush give a pleasing eblor to the eye, but the little white flowers set off with the red and green berries are just as beautiful as I’ve ever seen anything. There is nothing so tempting, in my estimation, as the fruit bearing strawberry patch. The fruit or chards are green with young leaves, but the blossoms have mostly sheded. Here and there you see a peach blossom, while the apples have not sheded their blooms that much. The birds are singing and darting to and fro through the apple branches. Sometimes they venture to sit in the vines that entwines our front porch. This vine is a wisteria and is a perfect, lovely, shade “tree” through the summer. The sun-kiss ed roses in our front yard are nodding at me as if to say, "Don’t forget me.” Some have said that the rose was queen of flow ers and I think it is a truth. We live on a far mand I have lots of fun. There are five other girls in the family and we go swimming, fishing and horseback riding. Cousins, describe your homes instead of yourselves if you can do better me at de scribing things. When we first began to take The Journal I read every letter, but now I just read Aunt Julia’s and the long est cousins’ letters if I’ve got work to be doing, if I haven’t, though. I read them all. Aunt, I hope you can have space for this, but you said that you just reached in the letter box and printed the one who’s fate it was to be drawn out, so I’ll just remember the motto: “If at first you do not succeed, try, try again.” Your niece and cousin, PEARL BROWN.

Ringgold, Ga. only to be discovered and turned over to immigration authorities on his arrival here. He was sent back, broken-hearted but not discouraged. He tried again, but met with little success and soon became a human shuttlecock on the high seas. Gilhooley’s various rebuffs at the hands of immigration authorities won him wide notoriety and considerable sympathy. Mrs. Curry was among those who were attracted by the boy’s story and she finally induced Ellis Island officials to release him in her care. She first took him to live with her in the Hotel Vanderbilt and later sent him to an exclusive private school. Reports received at Ellis Island showed that the boy had made excellent progress in his studies, but apparently his deportment outside was not so good. Mrs. Curry was informed that the government cannot now deport the boy, but that if she wants to get rid of him she must pay his traveling expenses to Europe.

Woman’s Party to Meet After Act Is Finally Ratified WASHINGTON, July 25.—The Na tional Woman’s party will hold a convention to decide its own future immediately after the thirty-sixth state ratifies the federal suffrage amendment, Miss Alice Paul, chair man of the party, announces today. At this convention it will be de termined whether the party will be disbanded or be continued with a new set of aims and policies affect ing the welfare of women and chil dren. Miss Paul made her announcement just after returned from Ohio, where she saw both Governor Cox and Sen ator Harding to urge the two presi dential candidates to hasten ratifica tion of suffrage in Tennessee. “We have received assurances that Tennessee will be the 36th state to ratify, and it is now only a short time until all the women of America will be enfranchised,” Miss Paul said. “This will mpan that the Na tional Woman’s party will have to change its program. “Should the party continue as an organization new work would have to be taken up. The program would be to revise legislation so that laws discriminating against women woul 1 be removed, aniend the civil service laws, so women would be eligible for all positions and look after the wel fare of the schools.’’ The suffragists are still keeping in touch with both Senator Harding and Governor Cox, Miss Paul said, and will do so until Tennessee rati fies. After that no attempt will be made to have North Carolina, whose legislature meets early in August, to ratify so that the suffrage cause will be protected if its opponents se cure an Injunction on the strength of Tennesee laws. "Governor Cox has at present three men in Tennessee working for suffrage,” said Miss Paul. "Jessie Little, running for governor of the state on the Republican ticket, is working out our cause, and Governor Roberts is doing all in his power to assist us.” Nearly $1,200,000 of U. S.

J. Land, of the Columbus fire department, has made public acknowledgment tonight of wrong doing in connection with the charges made by the Are committee of the city council relative to “tipping off” certain parties here in advance of raids on suspected liquor places. He accepted a severe reprimand at the hands of the committee, and the I case may be a closed incident, un- I less the city council refuses to ac cept the committee’s report when it meets Wednesday night week. In accepting the reprimand, Chief Land pledged the committee on his honor that there will never be a recurrence of such conduct during his term of office, and should there ever arise sufficient reason for com plaint of misconduct again, his res ignation as city official would be forthcoming. The case is an unusual one and the revelations followed by a con fession on the part of the chief caused a mild sensation in the city hall tonight.

FELTON The» Beautiful Lines Written by Oliver Wendell Holmes More than sixteen years ago I clipped this poetry for my scrap book. It Is a gospel of comfort for those who are weary and heavy la den with earthborn cares, the sort that go hand In hand with bitter tears and that must be borne. It is a gospel of patience for those who are walking in the darkness of such earthly gloom. It is a balm of healing, with sooth ing calm when trenfbling faith has been turned to fear, when the suf ferer is crying: ‘‘Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou only hast the words of eternal life.” Unless the Lord is forever near, and the heavy weight of burdensome woe, which is wearing down both mind and body, how could any of us stand erect in an evil and gainsay ing world, unless the Lord is ever near? "O Love Divine, that stooped to share Our sharpest pang, our bitterest tear; On thee we cast each earthborn care; We smile at pain when thou art near; No pain We shun, no darkness dread, Our hearts still whispering, thou art near. “When drooping pleasure turns to grief, And trembling faith is turned to fear; The murmuring wind, the quivering leaf ' Shall softly tell us, thou are near. On thee we flin* our burdening wm. O Love Divine, forever Content to suffer while we know, Living or dying, ever near.” Brave Little Belgium Continuous reports of revived in dustries and the energy of the Bel gian people are obliged to create cheerful hopefulness in these after war days. Belgium Is said to be the most densely settled nation in Europe, and it is true that the products of Bel gium agricultural products are among the most valuable in the world. Before the war the greatest flax fields in the world were in Rus sia. At present Ittle Belgum has a flax boom that is remarkable. The price that linens have reached will show how profitable the flax Industry can be made. All flax must be cultivated where, the're is stagnant water or a slow-' flowing river. The linen mills In Bel gium were a total wreck in some devastated districts, but some have been revived. Belgium has retalried more laborers than France. France lost 60 per cent of all her men be tween nineteen and thirty-two, ac cording to military statistics. Little Belgium has risen up and is facing the battle bravely. The Belgians hurried back to the land when the armistice arrived. They were allowed to claim the old home and the soil. They knew that it meant hard work and close econo my. But they are digging away, de termined to win. How the Czarina and. Her Daughters Died The latest story (said to be relia ble) is that the hapless czarina and her four grown daughters were actu ally pushed into a blazing log heap and kept there by bayonets until their bodies perished in the blazing bon fire. It is awful to hear about. It was more horrible .to witness. Fifteen years ago and less these people were the richest of earth. Their posses sions were fabulous in extent, in jewels and everything money could buy. They were perhaps the most en vied family in the continent of Eu rope. The czarina was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria, an own cousin of the Emperor William and King George, of the British Does not this surpass all the fic tion in our libraries? Was there ever a greater reversal in human for tunes ?

The scene of the hold up was in the mountains a short distance out side the park boundaries and about 36 miles from Yosemite postoffice. “DANDERINE” Stops Hair Coming Out; Doubles Its Beauty.
