Name Address 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. Siridly 4 aOne-Man 1 Outflt J atent Applied For The Improved Model, 4-H. P. Ottawa Log Saw. One man wheels this outfit from cut to cut and log to log like a bar row. Separate attachments cut down trees and cut up branches. Extra power lets the engine do heavy work of all kinds. Owners of the Ottawa Log Saw laugh at coal shortages and are making big money with ease, the machine doing the work. Thirty-five to 50 cords cut any day, rainy or dry, by one man, are normal figures. And wood is approaching S2O a cord! The Ottawa is compact, simple and dur able. It sells for cash or easy pay ments and is guaranteed. If you have wood to cut the Ottawa Log Saw will be the most satisfactory machine you’ve ever owned. We sug gest that you write the Ottawa Mfg.

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.

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.
