EASY NOW TO SAW LlbS
AND CUT DOWN TREES
Only one man, or even a boy, with
th® 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.
»Vhen 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.
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
Umber.
The whole outfit is compact, sim
ple, durable against a lifetime of
hard wear. It sells for a low price
• and is fully guaranteed for reliable
operation in the hands of every one
who has trees tomcat down and Idgs
to work up.
Full information and low factory
price to you can be had simply by
addressing the Ottawa Mfg. Com

" AN>D SUCCESSFUL FARMING V
Andrew K. Sovle
Coumiunity Organization Essential
If a community expects to de
velop, it is necessary that a definite
program of work be outlined and
concerted action taken to carry it
into effect. Opinions will differ as
to the desirability, practicability an ■
wisdom of following out the »'•••■>
gram suggested be'ow. On the other
hand, if this method of organ ra
tion were followed throughout the
rural districts, the country would
take on new life and agriculture
would become our most attractive
and desirable industry. The reasons
are self-evident. First, th'”*' - * v-n-.’e
be a first-class school in every com
munity providing the type of train
ing needed by the boys and girls
of the immediate neighborhood so
as to best prepare them to serve
in the environment in which they
am to live. There would be a farm
bureau co-operating with the ex
tension division of the Georgia state
college of agriculture for the pur
pose of serving and promoting the
interest and welfare of every phase
of the life of a the community. This
farm bureau would foster the prin
ciple of co-operative buying and
selling so necessary to the welfare
of the farmers of the future. In
addition there would be a program
for good roads, a modern home on
every farm, a garden for each home,
a milk cow on every farm and a
conservation program.
Each community could organize,
own and operate its own sweet po
tato curing house, a cotton ware
house, a cream, or cheese factory, a
tobacco-curing barn and a farm '
meat-curing plant. This would bring
all our urban advantage to the door ,
of the farmer and would make liv- :
ing In the open country an ideal I
thing. It would afford opportunity
for employment, expansion and de- i
velopment of farm enterprises in
every worth-while direction. It ;
would make the community a self- I
supporting enterprise. This is not
a dream, hut an evidence of what ;
we can bring to early realization i
in many sections of Georgia through j
concerted co-operative effort on thei
part of all the agencies which are
concerned in the development of a
permanent type of agriculture in
our state.
As an aid to building up our rural ’
communities, the Georgia State Col- ;
lege of Agriculture and the United :
States department of
are co-operating in the employment
of men and women county agents.
The men devote their energies to
the promotion of agricultural work
and enterprises primarily through i
the making of demonstrations on i
the farms of the individuals with
whom they are co-operating. The ,
women do a similar work in the i
homes of the women with whom
they are associated. Both men and !
wome n agents lend their active sup- i
port and encouragement to all forms I
of club work. The boys devote their
energies primarily to the growing
of corn and other farm crops and
the maintenance of pigs and calves.
The girls concentrate their ener
gies on canning, preserving, garden
ing, poultry raising and home im
provement work generally. There j
are now 101 men agents and 77 ■
women agents in Georgia. In. this '
particular instance I shall only at- i
tempt to illustrate by means of a ;
few examples some phases of the
work being carried forward in the
home development campaign. Prac
tically every agent is carrying on I
in the county in which she works !
all of the different kinds of enter- '
prises set forth under the twelve
heads enumerated. The work is so
complicated and of such vast pro
portions that one who has not had
an opportunity to study it in detail
can hardly appreciate its far-reach
ing proportions. As example of the
benefits resulting in different coun
ties. I give the following instances:
In Tattnall county ninety-five per
ennial gardens were established in
1919. This means that the gardens
have become an aid to the house
wives throughout the year. It means
a better balanced dietary and a
greater variety of food for the chil
dren in the home. In Pierce county,
home beautification constituted 'a
phase of the agent’s work. As a re
sult, 5,500 shade trees and flower
ing shrubs were planted. Wbn* %««•-
and pleasure as well as material
beautification this will lend to the
homes of the individuals, concerned!
In Bibb county, waterwork systems
were put into twenty-five farm
homes. Those only who have lived
without the benefits of a waterwork
■system can appreciate the joy and
happiness and the general benefits
which the establishment of plants
of this kind brought to the house
wives concerned. In Screven county,
forty-three modern washing ma
chines were purchaser by as many
of the housewives. Have you ever
tried to wash by the old method?
Do you remember its painful drudg
ery? If you have, then maybe you
can appreciate the happiness and
joy which the installation of these
machines in the homes in Screven
county has brought about. In
Clarke county, twenty-five houses
were screened so that flies and
mosquitos, would forever be abolish
ed. Did you ever fight flies in your
food or scratch all night because
of the irritation produced to the
skin by the bite of a mosquito? If
so, you can appreciate what screen
ing these houses meant. In Col
quitt county, sixty-five women
learned to make white bread. In Mus
cogee county, the women learned to
make butter. As a result, they were
able to secure fifteen cents more a
pound for the butter made by the
modern process than they had pre
viously secured. The sales of but
ter made bj this group of house
wives totalled $5,800.00 last year.
This was a nice lot of pin money
for these good women to have. It
was a worth-while piece of construc
tive work. Forty-five poultry clubs
were organized in Thomas co’”
The women concerned raised fi.COO
chickens and sold 5,400 for $5,880.00.
In Crisp county, the remodeling of
clothing was carried out by twenty
five women in co-operation with the
agent. In Washington county, twenty
small clubs of farm women were
formed and the social life previous
ly lacking brought into the homes
of the centers concerned. In DeKalb
county, fifteen school kitchens were
installed so that the children at
tending these institutions enjoy hot
lunches every day. In Towns coun
ty, one hundred and fifty illiterate
people were taught to read and
write. No more important or essen
tial missionary work is being per
formed elsewhere in the world than
is being carried forward through

' the agency of the home develop
ment campaigns directed by the
extension division of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture. It is
resulting In the introduction into va
rious centers of our important and
new comforts. It is bringing to ’' o
attention of the home-makers new
opportunities and privileges, new
.social activities and new privileges
of service. It is protecting the health
and welfare of the homes generally.
It is adding in the long run mil
lions of dollars to the wealth of
the state.
And now we come to the end of
the story and to the place where
the summing up of the situation
becomes appropriate. It appears
from the facts set forth that the
waste which characterizes our agri
culture has assumed alarming pro
portions. Evidently we are neglect
ing many opportunities to make our
state more prosperous and success
ful and to keep within her borders
vast sums of money which we now
send to other sections for the pur
chase of foodstuffs and manufactured
goods which we can and should pro
duce with economy and profit at
heme. It appears that cur annual
, imports, conservatively stated,
!amount to $157,000,000. The losses to
our crops and live stock aggregate
$100,000,000 more. The boll weevil
damaged us to the extent of $40,000,-
000 in 1919. Fcrest waste totaled at
least $25,000,000 a year. This does
not take into consideration the
frightful losses we are suffering
through the depredations of insect
iand plant diseases. It gives no con
sideration to the appalling situation
revealed by the fact that 33 1-3 per
I cent of our manhood and womanhood
jis apparently defective because we
have not deemed it worth while to
;give the food problem the same con
' sideration and attention we have been
inclined to direct to these same ques
tions as related to the welfare of our
animals. It is easy to see that we
iare losing $300,000,000 ‘worth of
I wealth each year that actually ex
-1 isted, and that we had in our hands.
1 It is easy to understand how we
may save one-half or two-thirds of
this loss by directing the energies of
our people in more constructive
I channels and by taking the facts
I which science has revealed and mak
! ing them the common property of
.our people at large. It is evident
that we cannot sustain losses of this
character indefinitely. After awhile
the gjeat monetary pressure involved
will weigh us down and crush out
our fine initiative. We cannot any
' longer afford to play the role of the
I modern Atlas. The elimination of
. waste must be the slogan of the fu
ture, and conservation must be our
. guiding principle.
I The ills from which we suffer will
be most quickly and completely over
come through the organization and
'endowment of our educational insti
tutions on a broad and liberal basis.
The time has past when we can en
dure the load of economic pressure
we have been carrying and spend a
paltry $10,000,000 for education.
Just as surely as we double or treb'e
our expenditures for intellectual de
velopment will we cut down and re
duce the load of waste we are now
'supporting. If we should tithe for
; education, we would still be spend
ing less than one-seventh of the ag
gregate of our agricultural and live
stock wealth, and Jess than one-third
of what we are now losing each year.
: Our educational standards and prac
! tices as they pertain to agriculture
’ and home management are far be
hind the standards which science has
revealed as essential and which we
can estbalish on a state-wide basis.
Making Potash From Feldspar
C. W., Russell, S. C., writes:
In running a mica mine we
have plenty of feldspar which
we think contains potash. By
exposing it to the air it turns
into flour. Is this flour al
ready a solueble potash or will
It have to be dissolved with some
acid to make a fertilizer out of
it? We are 25 miles from the
railroad and transportation is
high, and we thought that potash
in the shape <?f feldspar and
floats finely ground and clover
plowed under would make an
ideal fertilizer. Your advice
will be appreciated.
Various efforts have been made to
demonstrate that potash bearing
rocks could be utilized as a source
of this element to the advantage of
our agriculture. Among the rocks
favored for use in the manner indi
cated is that known as feldspar.
This rock contains considerable
amounts of potash and when very
finely ground and applied to the soil,
it has been held by some to have
proven beneficial. By others it has
not been regarded with favor. The
results are so contradictory that at
the present time one could not con
sistently recommend its use on our
farms as a source of potash. At
tempts have been made recently to
make the potash in feldspar avail
able. Various processes have been
developed and patented. Favorable
results are promised in the use of
the electric furnace. Also by other
methods, such as heating the rock
to a high temperature and suddenly
cooling it in water. The methods
advised are apparently too costly as
yet to assure us any considerable
supply of potash from the source
Indicated. Probably a method of
manufacture will later be devised
which will enable derived
from feldspar to compete in cost
with that supplied from various
other sources.
Basic Slag Versus Acid Phosphate
A. B. P., Blackshead Ga.,
writes: If you have any results
obtained from using basic slag
as compared with acid phosphate
I would be glad if you would
furnish them to me as I am un
decided which to buy.
We have used finely ground rock
phosphate and basic slag at various
times in our fertilizer tests. Some
of these tests were made in Georgia
and some in other states. They
cover twenty-five years of experience
and observation in dealing with these
materials. Our experience, v how
ever, has not been so extensive
probably as that of many other peo
ple, and so we do not pretend to
pass a final judgment on the merits
of these materials by any means.
We have found, however, that basic
slag did not appear to yield up the
first year after it was applied to
the soils more than eight to ten
per cent Os available phosphoric acid.
On the other hand, acid phosphate
will presumably carry sixteen per
cent of available material. The
mechanical condition of basic slag
in our experiments has been excel
’ent. • When used, it . should be ap
>lied at the rate of one thousand
pounds and upwai d per acre. If it
can be distributed in the stable and
• incorporated with the Titter from day
1 to day, it gives better results than
l when applied directly to the soil.
This is due to the fact that this ma
erial apparently requires the acid
if decaying vegetable matter in or
der to become more quickly avail
: able than will otherwise be the case.
; All of this material when used di
i rectly on the’ land gives Best results
1 on soils rich in organic matter or
'hose which have recently been made
rich in these materials by yard
I manure, composts or green crops
turned under.
In the production of cotton and
most of the crops extensively grown
in Georgia, our observation leads
us to believe that the use of some
element which will hasten maturity
should be emphasized and that this
material should be used in $ quick
ly available form. On this account,
we have concluded that acid phos
phate under existing circumstances
should be given preference over
other carriers of phosphoric acid.
Our attitude is not friendly or un
friendly to the use of any special
carrier of phosphoric acid, but is
based entirely on the conclusions
reached by the te.sts we have made
up to the present time. Where one
owns and operates a large stock
! farm an has an übundance of yard
I manure on hand and can afford to
wait a considerable time for results,
rock phosphate and basic slag can
at times be applied to both profit
and advantage; but on the average
Georgia farm and on soils low in
humus, we are constrained to ad
vise the use of acid phosphate.

RAILWAYS WILL
CU T RATES FOR
ATLANTA FAIR
The Southeastern Passenger asso
ciation has authorized a rate of one
fare and a half on all of the rail
ways in Georgia for the Southeast
ern fair, Atlanta, October 16-26. A
tariff sheet is being prepared and
will be sent to all the agency sta
tions in the state showing the ex
act fare to Atlanta so that those
planning to visit the fair may get
the information from their nearest
agent. Tickets will be placed on
sale Friday, October 15, good to re
turn on Wedneseday, October 27. A
minimum fare of one dollar is th«>
minimum.
Already exhibits are being re
ceived at Lakewood and concession
men are at work on their stands in
order to have everything ready by
Saturday, October 16, at 9 o’clock a.
m. There is positive assurance that
all the exhibits will be in place and
that the program arranged for that
day will be carried out on time.
There are not more than a half
dozen desirable locations left out
side the buildings for tent exhibitor?
and dozens of requests for space in
the Liberal Arts buildings have been
received since it was sold out tw’o
weeks axo. This emphasizes the need
for another big building for woman’s
work, as this department cannot pos
sibly expand with the present spaca
allotted to it.\
The spur trdek into the park ha«
been completed and runs up to the
street back of the spot where the
poultry show was first located. The
live stock may now be unloaded as
promised the promoters of the Na
tional Hog and Cattle Show. Thi"
insures the cattie and awin'*
in place Saturday, October 16. The
main track is being put in first-class
condition so that, if necessary, it
could be used for passenger service
if anything should happen to the
street car service that threatened to
interfere with the attendance at th®
fair.

Cotton Crop Practically
Gathered in Colquitt
MOULTRIE, Oct. 2.—With two
more weeks of fair weather the 1920
cotton crop in Colquitt county will
have been gathered. The season
been one of the shorest ever
known in this section. The produc
tion will be about like it was last
year. The acreage is somewhat
larger than it was in 1919. Until
the wet weather set in early in Au
gust the indications were that Col
quitt would make at least 20.000
bales. Cotton men now estimate
that complete ginning figures will
not show more than 14,000 bale*.
Most of the cotton ginned so far
is out of the hand of the growers.
Not much of it is being held by
buyers either, the selling movement
being particularly heavy here since
the market started breaking. There
has been some disposition to hold
again during the past three or four
days.

Federal Reserve Bank
Stands by Cotton Men,
Says J. S. TVannamaket
The Tri-Weekly Journal is in re
ceipt of a letter from J ; S. Wan
namaker, president of the American
Cotton association, in which Mr.
Wannamaker states that more or
less of a misunderstanding exists
concerning the policy of the Federal
Reserve bank toward cotton growers
of the south.
After the recent meeting of a com
mittee of the association with Gov
ernor Wade P. G. Garding. of the
reserve bank. Mr. Wannamaker says
that Governor Harding’s attitude has
been misconstrued in many quarters.
The head of the federal banking sys
tem, according to Mr Wannamaker,
'declared himself at the meeting to
be heartily in favor of an orderly
marketing of the cotton crop, and
likewise strongly Indorsed the as
sociation’s plan to found an export
.company which will furnisi growers
an outlet abroad.
The conference resulted success
fully and with many benefits to
the south’s cotton-growing interests,
according to Mr. Wannamaker. In
an address to the visitors. Gover
nor Hat’d >ng cited figures to show
that the Federal Reserve bank is al
ready lendine: full support to financ
ing the handling of staple crops and
he promised that complete co-opera
tion would continue.
Following are extracts from the
governor’s speech which indicates the
fr’endiy policy of the reserve bank
toward the interests of the producers
of the nation’s staple crops:
“Speaking for myself personally.
T desire to say, however, that I am
a firm believer in gradual and or
derly methods of marketing our
great agricultural staples. Agricul
ture is the most important of all
industries, for upon its fruits depend
the lives of those engaged in all
other industries. The farmer is a
great consumer of
products and anything
his buying power is soon reflected
in the business of the
and the manufacturer. WMl® the
individual farmer may be just as
well off with small production and
high prices, the mass of the popu
lation is far better off with full
production and moderate prices. But
farming as a business must be re
munerative or production will lan
guish It is, therefore, important
that the efforts of the farmer be
supported ar»d stimulated, that he be
aided in preserving the full meas
ure of his harvest and that he be
afforded an opportunity of market
ing his products on terms sufficient
ly profitable to warrant his staying
in the business of farming.
“Great staple crops, the produc
tion of which extends over a period
of several months, must meet the
requirements of consumption for a
full year and in order to prevent
possibility of shortage it is desir
able <•' at there be a reasonable sui
plus * Id over from one crop pen
ing the marketing of the next. Th
gradual and orderly marketing c
our great staple crops is, therefon
a matter of importance both to pre
ducers and consumers. The dum;
ing upon the market within a shoi
period of time of a large part o
a crop, consumption of which e:<
tends throughout the year. mean
not only a loss to the producer;
often to those who can least ai
ford it, but involves also a gre:
strain upon our transportation fr
cilities and upon the banks in pre
viding the funds necessary for larg
purchases tn advance of actual re
quirements for consumption.
“Dumping of farm products pr<
motes speculation and usually r
suits in higher prices to the ult
mate consumer. Farm products, ho\
ever, should not be hoarded or he
back from the market by the u
of credit merely in the hope •
forcing prices up to an artific
level. It is estimated by some th
the value of this year’s sta:
crops will be around $22,000,000,0'
and it is manifestly impossible f
any banking system to provide fun
to withhold these staples entire
from the market. There is no occ
sion to discuss the question of pi;

that the volume of our great stapi
crops is so large and the value s<
enormous, that any efforts to valor

ize them by means of bank credits
would inevitably result in disaster
by the operation of economic law
But I think that all reasonable as
sistance should be given producers
to enable them to market their crops
in an orderly way provided they are
willing to sell enough to meet cur
rent requirements and that eon
sumers should concede to the farm
er reasonal le profits in order th:i
future production may be adequate
Open Market Needed
“What is needed is an open mar
ket in which the law of supply and
demand is given free play and in
which buyer and seller may meet
on equal terms. Theoretically at
least it is impossible, if adequate
warehousing facilities are provided,
for the farmer to obtain the bene
fit of the average price for the year
without any increase in cost to the
consumer and with lessened strain
upon transportation lines and banks
by distributing the marketing pro
cess over a reasonable period.
“In conclusion I would say that
the federal reserve system is still
confronted with conditions more or
less abnormal, but we have passed
through the period of exhilaration
or intoxication which characterized
American business activities several
months ago, and notwithstanding
the gloomy predictions which were
frequently made at that time the
transition to a more normal basis
is proceeding quietly and without
alarming features. Credit which is
required for seasonal needs is being
granted, and business generally is
looking to a fall and winter of at
least average activity. Sentiment is
being helped by the bountiful har
vests, by the better outlook for the
railroads and by the knowledge that
many highly essential developments
which have been long deferred by
force of circumstances, such as en
largement of our transportation fa
cilities and additions to housing ac
commodations throughout the coun
try, must soon be undertaken. A
broad demand, which will probably
extend over a period of years, is
opening up for the products of our
basic industries, and if in the re
adjustments ahead of us any lines
of business should prove to be over
done, there is every assurance
any surplus of brains and energy
now engagec in such lines can ue
readily utilized in other fields of
activity. '
“We have problems confronting
us and we shall always have them,
but, as always in the past, we can
cope with- them successfully ’f v.•'
approach them with a spirit of
confidence and self reliance tem
