A New Log Saw
Outs Faster, Costs Less, Makes More
Money for Users and Works
While You Best
A new improved power log saw, now
being offered, outdoes all other log
saws in cutting wood quickly and at
little cost. A new 4-cycle, high pow
er moter equipped with Oscillating
Magneto—no batteries to fail you—
makes the saw bite through logs
faster than other log saws. It fin
ishes its cut and is ready for another
before the ordinary saw is well start
ed. This log saw —the Ottawa —has
a specially designed friction clutch,
controlled by a lever, which starts
and stops the saw without stopping
the engine. Others have imitated,
but *no other power log saw has this
improvement just like the Ottawa.
The Ottawa Log Saw sells for less
money than any power saw of any
thing like its size.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
The Farmer Must Have a Profit
There are about 300,000 farms in
Georgia. Cotton is the main crop
on the majority of them. Cost fig
ures obtained from 534 Georgia farms
through the joint effort of the Geor
gia State College of Agriculture and
the bureau of farm management,
United States department of agri
culture, indicate that cotton was
grown in 1919 at a profit on 56 per
cent of the farms in Georgia and at
a loss on 44 per cent.
The average cost of cotton pro
duction in 1913 was approximately
12.2 cents. The cost range varies
'from five to fifty cents a pound. The
-cost on 50 per cent of the farms was
from ten to fourteen cents per pound.
The average price of cotton in 1913
was 12.2 cents. In order to have
made cotton a profitable crop on
about 85 per cent of our farms, the
bulk line price necessary would have
been sixteen cents.
The average cost of raising cotton
in 1918, according to the survey on
534 Georgia farms, was 27.6 cents
per pound. The cost range during
that year varied from eleven to sev
enty-one cents per pound. The cost
on 50 per cent of the farms varied
from twenty to thirty cents. The
bulk line price necessary in that '
year to have afforded 85 per cent of
.the farms a profit would have been
thirty-two cents.
As a matter of fact, the average
selling price of cotton was 27.6 cents
per pound, so that again cotton was
grown at a profit on only about 56
per cent of the farms in Georgia, and
at a loss on 44 per cent. These fig- I
ures are presented to show that cot- i
ton has been grown at a loss on many
of our farms. _ "
Theoretically, no one is concerned |
about this but the individual who
suffers the misfortune of a loss.
Practically, every one in the world
who uses cotton is affected. There
is an idea in the minds of most peo
ple that if certain farmers can raise
cotton at a profit, an attitude of in
difference should be exercised to
ward all others who may be con
cerned with raising it.
This is a mistaken conclusion to
draw, and constitutes a gross eco
nomic error as well. It also proves
the fallacy of depending on average
cost figures because they are un
doubtedly misleading and have pre
vented our reaching a correct under
standing relative to the price nec
essarv to put cotton cultivation on a
just, fair and reasonably profitable
basis to the landowners of the South.
Average figures are nTisleading be
cause they are below the costs and
the prices which must be obtained
in order to encourage production on
a sufficiently broad basis to meet the
requirements of the public for a giv
en commodity.
A careful study of the situation
revealed this fact to the food admin
istration early' in the war and soon
led to the establishment of a figure
for the food raisers based on what
is known as the “bulk line” of pro
duction. This, roughly speaking,
would be about 85 per cent, and it
will be necessary for us to base the
figure which the farmer must re
ceive for his cotton in the future
not on average cost, but on the “bulk
line” production basis of 85 per cent.
Unless we do this, the volume of
cotton will be insufficient to meet
the need of the public because no in
dustry and no line of agriculture
can prosper when conducted on an
unprofitable basis.
Moreover, the grower of cotton
who has been subject to unjust eco
nomic pressure all his life is entitled
to a fair increment over the cost of
raising his crop. Cost plus is now
accepted as a basi entity in commer
cial industries. The time has ar
rived when cost plus must be ap
plied to farm crops. There is no in
dividual in the south, great or small,
farmer, laborer or capitalist, who is
not concerned in the planter’s receiv
ing a fair profit on his cotton. We
must, therefore, institute and en
courage farm surveys as rapidly as
possible so we may obtain accurate
cost figures, add a reasonable and
just profit thereto, and put the cul
tivation of our greatest and most
important and essential economic
crop on a fair and just basis to the
grower and the consumer. Upon the
correct solution and the just dispo
sition of this problem depends the

f
future of the cotton industry. No
thing more has been asked or claim
ed for the grower than is just and
fair to the interests he represents,
and the public can easily afford to
pay the price which the planter is
entitled to.
There is a great scarcity of farm
labor. The congestion of industrial
workers in our towns and cities and
the consequent tendency for prices to
go up, the decrease in visible sup
plies of raw materials, the readjust
ment of the economic situation and
the holding of a sufficient portion of
our population on the land to insure
adequate s’upplies of food crops and
raw materials are among the grav
est economic problems contfronting
the American people. Their solution
in so far as the agriculture of our
country is concerned, will be brought
about most quickly by considering
and adjusting the prices of the out
put of our farms on a cost plus basis.
Common sense, justice and the main
tenance of a proper balance in our
economic life demand that this be
done with the utmost expedition.
The cultivation of light tobacco
is assuming considerable propor
tions in Georgia. It promises to be
an excellent substitute crop for cot
ton in certain sections of the state
where the soils are well suited to its
cultivation. It is a highly special
ized crop, however, and must be cul
tivated, fertilized, handled, cured and
marketed with great skill. There, of
course, are lots of exploiters at
work. This makes it more essential
than ever that careful advice and in
formation be furnished the farmer.
Which kind are you marketing? Is
the type you cure worth 45 to 60
cents per pound or from 5 to 15
cents\ Lots of Georgia farmers
sold their tobacco at the lowest price
shown in 1919 when they should have
obtained the highest figure. This is
an illustration of the part proper ed
ucational training and experience
serve .in the growth and curing of
a highly specialized crop like to
bacco.
Protecting an Apple Orchard by
Spraying
J. O. R., Ellijay, Ga., writes:
I have bought a farm with 400
apple trees on it ten years old,
and as I have no knowledge of
horticulture, I wish to know
when they should be sprayed and
what with. Can the mixture be
made at home?
Apple trees should be sprayed
when dormant with a lime-sulphur
solution. The material applied
should test 4.5 degrees Baume. This
is the spray to use against the San
Jose scale. If the trees are badly in
fested, two applications should be
made, one in the fall, after the leaves
have dropped, and one in the spring
just before the buds begin to swell.
After the leaf buds burst, but before
the fruit blossoms open, apply lime
sulphur solution diluted to test one
degree Baume. To this fungicide add
two pounds of arsenate of lead paste
or one pound of powder to each fifty
gallons of water. This is the impor
tant spray for scab and curculio.
As soon as the petals fall, apply
lime-sulphur solution of the strength
indicated above with two pounds of
paste or one pound of powdered arse
nate of lead to each fifty gallons fun
gicide. This is the most important
spraying for the. coddling moth.
Othgr spraying with Bordeaux mix
ture may be necessary from time to
time. Bordeaux should not be put
on in cloudy weather or on wet fo
liage. If lice appear on the trees,
applications of kerosene emulsion
should be made. Pear blight, com
monly called “blight” on apple trees
can be controlled by the use of the
pruning shears and knife. Cut out
the infected twigs at least six inches
below the point of infection. After
cutting out the infected part, disin
fect the knife. Worm apple trees at
least once a year and preferably
twice. Where it can be done, the
borers should be cut out with a
knife. Where they cannot be reached,
inject a small amount of carbon bi
sulphide into the hole and plug up
the hole with soap.
Home-made concentrated lime-sul
phur solution is used for San Jose
scale and may be made as follows:
Sulphur, flowers or flour, 80 lbs.;
Mme, fresh and unslaked, 40 lbs.; wa
ter, 50 gals.
Slake the lime, mix in the sulphur
with it, add required water, and boil
| from fifty to sixty minutes. Some
jof the water will evaporate in the
| boiling. This should be replaced so
!as to keep the amount at fifty gal
i lons.
I This formula is for making fifty
I gallons of concentrated lime-sulphur,
i When properly diluted this will make
; from 300 to 400 gallons of material
for dormant spraying, or 1,500 to 2,-
000 gallons for the summer spray
ing of apples. To put it another way,
fifty gallons of the concentrated lime
sulphur will make enough material to
spray 200 five-year-old peach trees
for San Jose scale, or 300 to 500 ten
year-old apple trees in foliage.
The sample of grass enclosed is
Spreading Panicum. It is sometimes
i cut for hay, but has no especial com
• mercial value.
' Preparing Hogs for the Sale Bing
! R. D., Fitzgerald, Ga., writes:
I have some spotted Poland
i China pigs that I am getting
ready for the sale this fall and
their feet are not in proper con
dition. The toes are spreading
too much. I would like your ad-
vice in the matter. Are there any
courses at the college that I could
attend that would help me in car
ing for my hogs?
The hoofs of all pigs should be
carefully looked after, but especially
is this true of those which are of
considerable size and weight, and
which are intended for exhibition
purposes. Where there is a tenden
cy for the feet to spread and the
hoofs to grow unduly long, it is best
to trim away the objectionable por
tion. Care, of course, should be ex
ercised to prevent the trimming be
ing overdone. The roughness pro
duced by trimming should be smooth
ed with a file and finished with a fine
grade of emery cloth. This will not
only put the foot in good shape, but
will enable you to present the ani
mal in the show-ring in a more at
tractive condition in so far, as the
feet are concerned. These are about
the only suggestions that are likely
to be of value under the circum
stances.
We have, of course, published and
distributed from time to time infor
mation calculated to show how hogs
should be fitted for exhibition pur
poses This is a part of the course
of instruction we give to all our stu
dents and to the boys who attend the
annual corn and pig club short
courses. The O»rse this year be
gins on the tLird, and it you could
spend a day or two at the college
during this time, you would enjoy
not only meeting these young men,
but observing the methods followed
in instructing them. You would
also have a chance to confer with
the teachers having them in charge
and could get such special informa
tion relative to the subject as you
are particularly concerned about.
A Plan for Hog Banching in
Georgia
A. O. H.. Devereaux, Ga.,
writes: I am thinking of going
into the hog-raising business on
a small scale and would like
for you to give me a plan
whereby I can have a twelve
month grazing period. I wish to
use the same land each year
rotating so as to keep up the fer
tility.
One desiring to go into the hog
raising business on a modest scale
should select an area of about fif
' teen acres of land. The site se
lected should be hbout sixty rods
long and forty rods wide. Five acres
of the area should be devoted to
permanent pastures such as Ber
muda grass and bur clover will
provide. You could, of course, use
Bermuda grass as the basis 'for
summer grazing and sow Italian rye
or white clover on it in the early
fall, which will provide you with
I considerable kinter and early spring
grazing. The permanent area is
used as an exercise and water lot.
There should be some shade in a
portion of it so that the hogs may
have protection from the extreme
ly hot summer sun.
Then lay off a series of four
paddocks fifteen rods wide and
twenty-seven rods long on the side
of the area away from your per
manent pasture. Each of these lots
should contain about two and one
half acres. There should be a lane
way twelve feet wide between the
plots and pasture area. Fence the
whole area with woven wire fenc
ing thirty-two inches high. Flace
two barbed wires above the woven
wire fence and set the posts at in
tervals of one rod.
On the first of these areas plant
oats or rye as soon as practicable.
The oats and rye may be grazed
i down in the spring and then be fol
i lowed by millet, sorghum and
I peas. You can use early corn or
peanuts or sweet potatoes if you
prefer. One area of this land may
be planted to rape about October
15th. Collards would also be found
a satisfactory grazing crop and
even rutabaga turnips could be
used to some advantage. In the
spring you should plant one area
to early corn and cowpeas or pea
nuts and another area to sweet po
tatoes and peanuts seeded in alter
nate rows. The area seeded to rape
may be sown to corn and velvet
beans. By this arrangement, you
will have a succession of grazing
crops available for a considerable
part of the year. You will find it
an advantage to seed an acre or
two of one corner of your perma
nent pasture to alfalfa which, when
well established, can be grazed with
considerable success by hogs in
Georgia.
While on grazing crops, hogs
should receive about two pounds of
grain for each one hundred pounds
of live weight. Better results will
be secured if the hogs receive a
little tankage along with the grain.
In other words, feed from five to
ten pounds of tankage along with
each one hundred pounds of the
grain. It is especially desirable that
you do this if you are principally
feeding on corn.
An area of this character proper
ly prepared and handled should pro
vide for the maintenance of ten
sows and their litters. This is the
plan we have worked out after
years of careful experimentation,
and we can commend it strongly
to your favorable consideration.
STATE FAIR IN
MACON DECLARED
BIGGER THAN EVER
MACON, Ga., Oct. 28. —Thousands
of persons are attending the state
fair, which swung open its gates
Thursday morning, with all indica
tions that this will be the best and
biggest fair ever staged in Bibb coun
ty. The opening- was preceded by a
parade of a big circus, which was
the main attraction in the afternoon
and at night.
Fair association directors who were
on the ground early Thursday morn
ing declared the exposition was the
greatest in Macon’s history. Those
who attended the fair Thursday saw
the great exposition complete—the
greatest ever held here.
The live stock exhibit, in chafge
of County Agricultural Agent W. G.
Middlebrooks, is the biggest ever
seen here. Some of the highest-bred
and finest cattle and hogs in the
country are on exhibit.
The barns anti swine pens were
filled to overflowing. Mr. Middle
brooks declared this exhibit was un
paralleled in the history of the fair.
The boys’ pig club <Ssplay is one of
the greatest attractions. The boys
have hogs on exhibit that will take
a number of prizes.
Friday will be Macon and Bibb
County day at the fair. Saturday
will be Governor’s and Mayor’s day.
Governor Hugh Dorsey and his staff
and a number of mayors of Georgia
cities and towns will attend as
guests of the fair association. Mayor
Glen Toole early this week sent in
vitations to every mayor in the state
inviting them to meet him at the
fair. This is expected to be one of
the biggest days of the exposition.
Twelve counties have entered agri
cultural exhibits. They are Butts,
Walton, Wilkes, Bibb. Madison, Hall,
Floyd, Pike, Washington, Newton.
Dodge and Bartow. W. A. Groover,
of Ivanhoe, is in charge of the agri
cultural department.
The first prize for the best and
most artistically arranged county
display is SI,OOO.
Wednesday will be "Atlanta Day’’
an da special train will bring a large
number from the Capital City. C. B.
Rhodes, division passenger agent for
the Southern railway, has announc
ed that a special train will be op
erated from Atlanta, bringing the
delegation. The invitation was ex
tended Wednesday by Mayor Glen
Toole, who was in Atlanta, and
Mayor Key accepted it. He will head
delegations from the Atlanta Kiwa
nis club, Rotary club, Ad Men’s
club and city council.
State fair officials, Mayor Toole
and members of council, Kiwanlans,
Rotarians, chamber of commerce
members and others will meet the
Atlanta visitors and entertain them.
A number of the Southeastern fair
officials will be among the visitors.
The poultry show will open Mon
day. On that day, the judging of
exhibits in all departments will be
gin, and the winners will be an
nounced as soon as the departments
are finished.
It Pays to Know About
Grain-Grading Fact';
By familiarizing themselves with
the grain grades under the federal
grain standards act, farmers can be
sure when selling their grain that the
standards are being properly applied.
Any information in this connection
may be had by writing or visiting the
nearest office of federal grain super
vision. In case any person desires
to check up his determination of the
grade of the grain when no licensed
grain Inspector is located in the com
munity, he can mail a representative
sample to the nearest licensed grain
Inspector and have it officially in
spected. The sample should be at
least two quarts in size, of which
at least 1 1-8 pints should be placed
in an air-tight container and the re
mainder in a clean cloth sack. While
the grade applies to the sample only,
the parties to a transaction involv
ing the sale of grain at country
points may agree that the grade of
the sample will apply to the entire
lot to be sold.
Distinguished Speakers
For N. C. Live Stock iMeet
Preliminary announcement of the
plans for the state live stock meet
ing at Salisbury, N. C., have been
made by the committee in ch irge
and the program includes some
speakers with national reputations,
such as C. S. Plum, formerly head of
the animal industry division at Ohio
State university; Dr. McCullom, the
scientist who first discovered vita
mines; Dr. Tait Butler and Clarence
Poe both of the Progressive Farmer.
The first day of the meeting, De
cember 8, is given over to swine.
•iSairy cattle and poultry occupy the
program for the second day, includ
ing the state poultry show; and the
third day is to be devoted to beef
cattle and sheep Auction sales of
cattle, swine a-hcl poultry will be held
during the meeting.
The men in charge of the different
parts of the program are: Dan T.
Gray, swine; J. A. Arey. dairy cat
tle; Dr. B. F. Kaupp, poultry; R. b.
Curtis, beef cattle, and George Evans,
sheep. Further 'details of the pro
gram for the meeting will be given
out later.
Irrigation
Flooding is the original method of
irrigation and may be done in any one
of several ways. The most common
way is by flooding from field laterals,
say specialists of the United States
department of agriculture. This
method consists of running small
ditches across the field in such away
as to permit the water to be carried
to all parts and Jetting it out of these
ditches without other direction than
is given it by the irrigator with his
shovel.
Boes Steal Honey
DIXON, Cal.—Mrs. R. E. L. Ste
phens left forty opened jars of honey
in her back yard here in order that
tire sun could perfect the delicacy,
but when she went to cover the jars,
she found them empty, though not a
one had been moved. Investigation
showed honejr bees had removed the
honey to their apiary on a nearby
farm.
