Size Address elsWOTsawloss AND COT DOWN TREES Only one man, or even a boy, with the improved Ottawa Engine Log Saw can easily cut twenty-five to forty cords a day, and at a cost of less than 2c per cord. This machine, which outdoes all others, has a heavy, cross cut saw driven by a powerful especially designed 4-cycle gasoline engine. It’s a fast money maker for those using it, and does more than ten men could do, either cutting down trees, sawing logs, or buzzing branches while you. rest. When not sawing, the engine can be used for other work requiring power. * Beware of Imitations. The entire machine is mounted on truck wheels to make it easy to move to the trees or logs, and from cut to cut on a log without stopping the en gine. For moving on the road, the (truck wheels are placed parallel with the skids and the rig hauled straight ahead. The wheels turn on a two way spindle. You do not have to take them off. but- can change direction of wheel travel by merely taking out a pin. f The Ottawa can be fitted for saw ing down trees. It cuts level with surface of ground, thereby getting all the timber and leaving no stumps sticking up. An automatic friction clutch stops the saw in case of un due resistance. Two men can fell forty to fifty trees a day in ordinary timber. The whole outfit is compact, sim- Sle, durable against a lifetime of ard wear. It sells for a low price and is fully guaranteed for reliable operation in the hands of every one who has trees to cut down and logs to work up.

Bo*4 THE ATLANTA TKI-VVEEKLiY JOURNAL. 8,000,000 Acres of Land, Undrained in Georgia, Hold Enormous U 7 ealth Reclamation of the eight million acres of Georgia soil, by modern drainage methods, will do more to enhance the state’s riches, in mon ey, health and population, than any other single achievement, is ' the opinion of Judge Newt A. Morris, of Marietta, vice president of the National Drainage congress, which holds its annual meeting in Atlan ta November 10-12. Judge Morris has compiled a set as statistics, from figures of the I United States department of agri culture and the geological survey of Georgia, showing the number of acrea in each county which may be turned from non-productive waste lands into fertile, valuable soil. He says of the eight million acres, seven and a half millions can be reclaimed. He explained that a half million acres were sea marshes, and that it would, be impracticable to build immense sea walls and re claim this land, although, he says, that by the construction of sea-walls and proper drainage canals, this land could also be turned into pro ducing soil, rather than wasting year after year. Judge Morris has had much ex perience in drainage work in Geor gia, and he has also studied the drainage statistics of Georgia and other states in the union, declaring that he has found the health, popu lation and wealth of any state, has always increased as a direct result of drainage work. \ Drainage and Health “Draining of land. partly or periodical! j’ flooded, has a wonder ful effect on the health of the community," the judge said. “I ex amined the death records of Indiana, lowa and Illinois, as of 1880, be fore drainage work was commenced in any of these states, and I found that five per cent of the deaths were due to malarial and typhoid fever. “Then I examined them as of twenty years later, after a number of drainage projects had been put through, and I found that the deaths caused by malaria and typhoid fev er had decreased to less than one per cent. “I took the statistics of South Carolina. Georgia and Florida, as of 1880, when no drainage work had been undertaken, and I found that five per cent of all deaths in these states had been caused by typhoid, malarial and other forms of fever. Twenty years later, the statistics of these states, with still no drainage projects undertaken, showed that the death rate of people dying from typhoid and malarial fever had in creased to 6 per cent. “From these comparisons, it is readily shown that the health con ditions are greatly bettered by drainage work, and now that Geor gia. Florida and South Carolina have undertaken a number of drainage projects, the rate of death caused by malaria and typhoid fever will undoubtedly show an annual de crease.” Judge Morris said that in clean ing up land by drainage, mosquito beds, snakes, lizards, and a multi tude of other animal pests, which do nothing but detriment to crops, are automatically destroyed. As to the enhancing in value of land after it had been drained, the judge said that the normal increase had been anywhere from SIOO to S2OO an -acre. He cited as a con crete case of how land increases in' value after it has been drained, an accomplishment on a tract of land he owned in Cobb county. Big Profits in Drainage "I bought the land for $10,000,” the judge continued, “and it had produced absolutely nothing of mar ketable value in twenty-five years. I organized a drainage district, and at a cost of? 4,800, reclaimed that land. “The first season I produced on the reclaimed land a total of $lO,- 000 worth of corn alone, and before the second crop was harvested, I’ sold it for $37,200, a clear profit of over thirty thousand dollars, in three years. “I had a hard time convincing people owning adjoining tracts of land that a drainage project could be put through, but I succeeded, and since it has been completed, practically every acre of territory in Cobb county, which has been valueless for countle'ss years, has been reclaimed, or is in the pro cess of being drained, and is bring ing in a golden return each year to its owners.” Judge Morris said that Georgia was fastly becoming educated to the importance of drainage work, and that a number of counties were organizing drainage districts, and proceeding to clear land in their county. He particularly stressed the work which was being done in Cobb and Walton counties. In Walton county, he said, land owners of part ly inundated land were having it drained, and putting it to work, bringing in thousands of dollars more revenue each year. The cost of drainage work, and the time it takes, is very small, according to the judge. He also said it was very simple, and that all that was necessary was for the Land to be properly surveyed, and 'he creek or stream drained (t properly deepened and straight ■ned. He said that land which was Our Special price on * . 1 splendid > hat that retails for 96.00 A A .. 4^'' Act Quick! V Send Today Here’s your chance to eave over 12.00 on a reall? ”daMF’ hat.

GEORGIA EXPERT GIVES' TIPS ON BUYING TRACTOR With the extreme shortage of la bor affecting she farmers of the south as elsewhere, our attention must be directed more And more to the use of improved farm machinery and implements, wnich will allow one mVn to cultivate a greater num ber of acres. No doubt many farm ers are seriously considering pur chasing a tractor as a means of re lieving this situation, and to these the following suggestions based on experiences with an 8-16 I. H. C. tractor on the Georgia experiment station farm may De of interest. The value of a tractor lies in the fact that with it one man can do more work in a day than with a pair of horess or mules. This allows more land to be prepared within a given time than would otherwise be possible. The past season this would have been of great value to many, farmers, for we remember that out little land was prepared until late in the spring. The tractor is not as well adapted to conditions in the cotton belt as it is to those of other sections of the coutnry where me land is ex tremely level and uinform. To do its best work the field must be as large as possible, fairly level, and not cut up with numerous roads, ditches, fences, hedges, or other ob structions. For this reason tractors cannot be profitably used on many farms of this state. Owing to the fact that most of the crops grown in the cotton belt require intensive cultivation, the greatest use to be made of the tractor is in the prep aration of the land. It is quite like ly, that the small types could well be* used in drawing cultivation ma chinery through many small crops. The value of the belt power to be derived from a tractor should not be overlooked, and especially Is this of importance if there is no gas engine on the farm. However, if consid erable belt power is reqiured it will probably be best to purcahse a small, engine rather than to have this work conflict with field operations. There are numbers of other small jobs such as 'pulling small stumps, draw ing wagons from the fields, moving heavy objects, etc., that will sug gest themselves to the resourceful farmer who owns a tractor. Inasmuch as the initial cost of a good tractor is considerable, it is well for one who is contemplating purchasing to give careful attention to the conditions on his farm. In order to give A fair return on the money invested it must be used for a number of days in the year, and also replace some mules at present required, for if the tractor will not replace at least one or two of the mules at present required it is very doubtful if it will be an economic expenditure of money for the aver age farmer to purchase one. ‘ After it has been definitely de cided to purchase, the size and make must be considered. This will de pend of course upon the size and condition of the farm, as well as the nature of work required. For instance, if the tractor is to be used for considerable b?lt work, this fea ture must be given more attention that if it is to be used wholly for field work. There are numbers of good tractors being offered for sale at the present time, some of which are better in some particular noint than the others. The careful farm ers will avoid purchasing a “freak ish” tvne. or one for which it will be difficult to obtain repair parts. By all means purchase from a rep utable concern who guarantee their product, and who have a reputation to stand behind their guarantee. T. S. BUIE. Agronomist. subjected to floods, or was nartially covered by water, was valued at ibont $5 an acre, while immediate ly after being drained, and prepar ed for cultivation, it rose in value to $l5O to S2OO an acre. VndraJnad Land Worthless “Land which is not properly drained is a liability. It is not pos sible to produce anything in the world upon ft- Cattle cannot use it for grazing, not even hay can be raised thereon,” the judge continued, “but'after it is drained, a fair esti mate of the number of bushels of corn per acre it will yield, is from seventy-five to one hundred, while any other crop indigenous to the section, can be raised on’ it in boun tiful quantities. , “There are many millions of feet of fine timber in Georgia, which is rotting because it is impossible to get to it. All of this land can be drained, and this timber released for the market, another item of value drainage would bring the state. “Drainage is very important. It is one of the most vital projects in the state today, and the faster we drain our land and release it for agricul tural purposes, the richer our state will be. our citizens’ health will be bettered, and the population increas d in manifold numbers.” Judge Morris is very enthusiastic jver the approaching National Irainage congress, which will be '.eld in Atlanta November 10, 11 and 12, and he says that he hopes ev ry county in Georgia will see to t that some representative of \the •ounty attends. He says that over five thousand delegates from all ■sections of the United States will attend the congress, and that it will prove of inestimable benefit to ev ery county to have a representative attend. In the table of statistics prepared by the judge, Bulloch county is shown to have the largest number of acres which need draining. There are 522,810 acres in Bulloch, all of which, the judge says, could be turn ed from unprofitable land into pro ducing soil.

Today it is California’s largest farm of reclaimed land, approxi mately 60,000 acres, with a $1,000,- 000 vegetable crop being harvested. This farm is that of the Sutter Basin company, In the Sutter Basin District of Northern California, on land that was wrested from the Sacramento river overflow, through the construction of the Sutter by pass. For 22 miles it stretches north from Knight’s Landing. Within its borders are 200 miles of canals, 18 miles of railroads, 64 miles of lihat a Wonder-State This Would Be if Georgians W<orked Like Californians! BY J. K. SIMMONS (President of the Georgia Press Association.) SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 24. In a previous letter to the newspapers of Georgia I told you of having come nearly 3,000 miles to Califor nia to study her manner and meth of of development and tell it to the people of Georgia through the Georgia newspapers, in order that Georgia might become as well known as California. You will re member I told you in the opening paragraph that the story could be told dn one word—ADVERTISING. I have now been in the state about three weeks, and I am more firmly convinced than ev,er that my first estimate is correct. I have been pretty well over the state, and I can’t help but think what a wonder state Georgia would be if she were to put forth the same effort that these California people put forth. For, you must remember, Califor nia is a sand desert until artificial moisture is secured. Irrigation is the only way they can raise any thing out here. Georgia farmers have no such ob stacles to overcome. All they have to do is to put a fence around their acres, do a little preliminary clear ing up and go to work. No bother about water. Nature provides that. The Californian will tell you, “with .water everything is possible in Without it nothing is possible.” California’s Climate It was my first intention to draw a comparison of Georgia and Cali fornia, but there is no comparison. Georgia is too far ahead in her natural resources. There is only one thing that California has that we haven’t and that is her climate. And come to think of it, I was talking with, a young man a few days ago who is not a native of this state. When asked what he thought of California, he replied very prompt ly that “it was all right, except the blooming climate is too monot onous.” I have been unablp to gather any intelligent statistics on the tem perature of the state, because it varies so widely in different parts of the state. But I take some data gathered in Los Angeles, the most favored part of the state from a climatic standpoint. I learn that it occasionally freezes that far south, and that the thermometer some times g.oes over 100, so it will be seen that they do have hot and cold weather out here sometimes. But, as I have already said, we are not going to try to compete with California. What Georgia must do is to wake up and take advan tage of the wonderful natural op portunities that confront us. WE HAVE FIRST GOT TO SELL GEORGIA TO GEORGIA PEOPLE, and then the selling to outsiders will be the easiest thing in the world, just as it is for the Cali fornia people to sell California to outsiders. Interested In Georgia I have been much encouraged by talks with some of the large farm ers and truck growers out here. So long as I talked with chamber of commerce representatives and land development agencies, I got only the most glowing accounts of suc cesses, but when I finally decided to seek out the “sons of toil” I then began to get down to rock bot tom and get the unromantic sido of California life. And I found these farmers to be about as interested in Georgia as we have been inter ested in California. They, all, with out exception, tell me that a Geor gia farmer on his Georgia acre, can make as much or more, on his peaches, watermelons, cantaloupes, cane, potatoes, peanuts and live stock, as the California man does on his acre. True, we can’t raise oranges and lemons and other such like crops, but we don’t have to. The California people themselves admit that a California peach will not compare with a Georgia peach, and when I mentioned Georgia water melons to a man here a few days ago, his face lighted up and he told of having once been in Georgia and how he enjoyed those delicious Georgia watermelons. The largest I have seen here would not weigh over ten or twelve pounds and they taste flat. I happened to be talking one day with a prominent produce man and mentioned something about the delicious Georgia cane syrup. That man said he had tried every year to get a supply of Georgia cane syrup, saying that he had nev er in all his life eaten any syrup to compare with it. I have his or der for a supply in mj Docket right now. I was talking with a party of California business men one day and someone said something about po tatoes. I suggested that what he meant by potatoes was Irish pota toes. He replied, “Oh, no, I meant sweet potatoes, but I jim frank to tell you that we cannot raise any thing as delicious as your famous Georgia yam. The only ones we get out here are those that come can ned and while they are better than, ours, I happen to know they are levees and 10) miles of company built highways. And two years ago it was a lake for six months of the year and could be traversed only by motor boat. Protected by levees, it is irrigat ed by six 42-inch pumps from the Tisdale By-pass. Three pumps are being operated at present and are pouring 150,000 gallons of water in to the 200-mile system of irriga tion canals. Last year for the first time the land had been operated for th* entire twelve months. Grain and barley were exclusively grown. This year, besides the mammoth vegeta ble crop, 22,000 acres of barley were harvested, giving as high as 40 sacks an acre. In- five ’ company houses scattered about the ranch •not as good as they are before they are canned.” Georgia as Known Afar That’s the way those Who know Georgia out here look upon our products. I have had, California fruit men tell me that there is no peach as good as the Georgia peach. They all frankly admit that Geor gia is the pecan section and that this- one crop ajone would make Georgia world-famous if we would only go after it like they are go- x ing after development out here. I was talking with one of the Califor nia live wires a day or so ago, and When I told him that Georgia ap ples had taken five international pre miums he couldn’t believe it. He frankly said he did not know we could grow apples in our section of the country. Truth is, the great ma jority of people out here, those who have only a general knowledge of the south, thinli. that Georgia is a corn and cotton state and that we . raise nothing else. One man I met I who is a stock man, said Jae was ;in Georgia about twenty years ago i and he remembered Georgia as ' a state that made cotton almost ■ ex clusively and bought her meat and bread in the .middle west. In fact, he started out’ to give me some ad vice and advised that I go back to Georgia and tell the Georgia people to go to making their own meat and bread. You should have seen how surprised he was when I told him We were already doing that. They have told me of the won derful Sacramento valley out here and what it will produce. One of the crops they boast of in the Sac ramento valley is tobacco. They were very much surprised when I told them that in Georgia we had the largest tobacco plantation in the country, 25,000 acres with 3,- 500 employes. They have been boast ing to me ever since I came out here that California’s rice crop last season amounted to $72,000,000. It may interest you Georgia people to know that ’he by-products alone from one Georgia cotton crop brought more’ than $72,000,000. Re member, by-products only. Some Failures in California .They tell you only of their suc cesses out here. That is why their descriptions are so glowing. I have gotten some of the less romantic side of California, howeve/. I have talked with hard-headed bankers— men who are not accustomed to ro mancing—and their information has always been that there is a “seamy” side—that there are failures as well as successes. One real estate man was boasting to me of how a friend of his had sold his crop of grapes this year for S3OO an acre, and the buyer is to do the picking. That sounds fine, but that land is worth SI,OOO an acre. Considering the investment, the cost to produce and don’t forget, it certainly costs something to look after a grape vineyard—together with now and then a failure, do you think that is such a large yield? I told him of one Rabun county farmer who sold $1,400 w.orth of celery front one acre in 1913. He was surprised of course, because they didn’t think we could raise celery in Georgia. Most Georgia people don’t know it either, but you can if you prepare for it like they do out here and in Florida. One Dougherty county farmer has produced as high as 756 bushels of sweet potatoes to the acre, and you know what they are now worth. A Lowndes county man produced a watermelon that weighed 147 pounds. I have been told that one Georgia farmer made around $4,- 000 on one intensively cultivated acre. I don’t propose to vouch for that, but I just give you this to show that we make some claims as well as California. I do know this, that from S3OO to SSOO an acre prof its are common in Georgia, accord ing to agricultural reports in my hands. Georgia’s Mining Opportunities They are very proud of the fact out here that California is only sixth front an agricultural and hor ticultural standpoint, but did you know that Georgia is only fourth. Georgia is first in peaches. She is second only to Texas in cotton, and if it were not for the area of Tex as she would be first. Georgia is third in meat production. While Georgia is largely an agricultural state, her mining opportunities are wonderful. I paid a visit to the Cal ifornia state fair this week and had a rather interesting talk with the man in charge of the mining ex hibits. He took a great .deal of pride in showing me an exhibit of asbestos. Georgia laid claim for a long while to the only asbestos mine in the world, witth the exception of Wyoming. Georgia has the largest deposit of kaolin. She has 142 square miles of coal; 175 square miles of iron; besides her deposits of gold and other minerals. The thing that impresses you most out here is the bigness of the undertakings. These people out here are accustomed to thinking in big figures. They think in millions when they undertake a project of any kind. They have to do this to get anywhere, because they , have to spend millions and millions of dol lars getting their land so it will produce. They have faith in them- zurfURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1020. 500,000 sacks of grain were stored! Os the present 400 men working for the company, not one is an Ori ental. “We . can get plenty of ‘Americans’ to work for us if we give them decent living conditions,” says Joe. Gresham, office manager ot the company. The lowest wage paid laborers on the ranch is $3.5) a day and board. This year 400 acres of cantaloupes are ready for picking, the crop be ing valued at $250,000. Asparagus, onions, celery po tatoes, beans, and rice are being harvested now. There are 600 acres in potatoes and 400 acres are plant ed in onions. Some day—and within a few years, says Sutter B»sin of ficials—2s,ooo people will live in the Sutter Basin district where so short a time ago the fishes swam.

That is very clearly shown by the irriga tion 'projects and other reclamation schemes. I have been shown on< tract of 65,000 acres that were for merly overflowed lands. It is now one of the finest farming sections in California. Land Settlement There is a project on here in California just now that I want to bring to the attention of Georgia people later, and that is a land set tlement project. California now has a law making it possible for the tenant farmer to become a land owner easily. It is too big a story to go into here. But I want to call to your attention this one thing. In 1910 two-thirds of Geor gia’s farm lands were cultivated bv tenant farmers? Think of that! How much more valuable these 190,000 farmers would be to Georgia if they were land-owners. The California bureau of land settlement is in po sition to give their new settler ev ery kind of assistance and informa tion that he may need. That is very important. One of the chief sources of failure on the part of people going into a new section of the country is the fact that they do not know the soil and understand farming conditions. Georgia must provide a means that her two-thirds farming population can own their own homes and have a bureau to ad vise and co-operate with the new comer. We have a land area suffi cient to take care of 10,000,000 people and we must get them. Georgia has a wonderful opportu nity to develop and grow in pros perity in the next ten years. Ti> possibilities of our agricultural and mineral resources are beyond calcu lation. In south Georgia we have oil lands and vast areas of farming lands to develop, our ports to build up, and in north Georgia they hav the minerals and water powers, fruits and a hundred industries to foster. Georgia Spirit Ne«ded We ail know about the world-fa mous American spirit. We •know of the California spirit. We want a Georgia spirit. We want every man, woman and child a Georgia boost er. We want to sell Georgia to ■Georgians so that when a visitor comes to our state he will become a Georgia booster just as they be come a California booster when they come to California. The casual tourist in California gets caught. He comes for a few days or weeks and they show him the glories. They tell him the ro mantic side and he is sold. I was very much impressed with the beauty of southern California, be cause it is indeed pretty. I mar velled at the transformation of that desert country into *a beautiful, blooming flower garden and orchard, and my first impression was how wonderful is California. Mrs. Sim mons brought me to my senses when she casually remarked that we too might have things as pret ty if we took as much care and spent as much money trying to have these beautiful gardens. That is the secret of the whole ■ thing. They try. And they keep on trying. The? are not content with anything les than success. How this trip has in spired me! I am more a Georgi booster now than ever. Since com ing here I have come to realiz more than ever Georgia's greatnes and her wonderful opportunities. There is only one thing for Geor gia to do, sell Georgia to Geor gians. We must advertise just as California does. She spends millions and millions at it. We spend noth ing, or haven’t so far. . BALE TO AN ACRE DESPITE WEEVIL AT BAXLEY, GA. BAXLEY, Ga., Sept. 28.—That cot ton can be grown under boll weevil conditions and unfavorable weather conditions, to yield a bale to the acre, is being shown on the county dem onstration farm near Baxley. .Fourteen acres of cotton on the demonstration will yield thir teen of cotton. This result was obtained by the use of calcium arsenate. One block or acre was grown without the. use of the poison to show the difference between blocks poisoned and those where cal cium arsenate were not used. Be tween the blocks poisoned and those where no poison was used, there was a difference in yield from 200 to 300 pounds per acre, after the “top crop.’" This difference will be even greater after the second and third pickings. The yield from the picking the first time averaged 1,418 pounds per acre. Four applications of the calcium arsenate were made on the crop. The cost of material and applying is only a few dollars per acre. For the dusting experiments Louis 63 was used. While the purpose of the work on this farm this year is not for making variety tests or fertilizer tests, but to show the farmers how to combat the weevil, and to overcome unfavor able weather conditions, fourteen va riety tests have been made. These varieties are the best adapted for southern Georgia soil and climate. Fertilizer tests have been made, which will further aid the Appling county farmer in producing cotton, if he will take advantage of the op portunity to learn at the demonstra tion farm. Mr. Gaddis, demonstration farmer, declares that the seasons have been more unfavorable to the production of cotton than ever before in his long experience, but that the yields are greater. The farmers of this and the sur rounding ySunties are urged to visit the demonstration farm before the last picking, in order that they may observe the splendid results obtained by the use of calcium arsenate. Seeds will be distributed among the farmers of the county, the farm re serving the right to place them in the hands of those farmers who will give the closest attention to grow ing cotton under boll weevil condi tions. Two-Mule Outfits Show Results . Than One-Mule System Cultivation cost is largely reduced by using adequate power harnessed to modern cultivating machinery. Figures compiled by the United States department of agriculture in farm management studies conducted upon southern farms show that the two-mule team hitched to a two mule implement saves time and mon ey over the usual one-mule outfit. In Texas, where the farms are com paratively large, the two or four mule hitch Is generally used, ‘but the farmers in the southeastern states •are inclined to depend upon the sin gle rig -to do their plowing, planting and cultivating, even where their acreage is large. In preparing the land for cultivating crops the south eastern farmer with his one mule makes five trips across his field to the Texas farmer's one. The Texas man cultivates both sides of the row and the middle at a single trip, but a one-niule hitch must make two or Vnree trips to accomplish as much. Moreover, the single-mule farmer uses twice as much man labor as does the chap who drives a team. In some cases the one-mule farmers get around this difficulty by ex changing mule labor and working two-mule teams. An Alabama farm study furnishes a dollars-and-cents accounting of the two methods. “When the rows were laid out with the contour of the land and cultivated only one way, the cost of cultivation was $1.38 an acre and the hoeing cost 70 cents an acre. When the corn was check-rowed and cultivated both ways, the cost of cul tivation was reduced to sl.lO an acre and the hoeing cost was only 21 cents an acre.” Such treatment is only possible with adequate machin ery. < i Isl Ji IJ ill Isl Ml We want yea to tee the Dixie Razor and try it thoroughly.
