County Agent From Page One ground after the middle of September in order to get the most growth possi ble. It is absolutely necessary to inocu late the seed the first year. The in oculation will be found in a can in the bag of seed, and inoculation will be simple and easy. Just put a little sugar water in a tub of seed and stir with seed until well dampened and sprinkle the inoculation in and mix with the seed. Directions will be with the inoculation. Sow seed soon after inoculation, and cover as soon as possible. This is simple but necessary. If you follow these simple directions you should get a good crop. The Georgia Railroad demonstration shows a doubling of corn yield the first year, at McDaniel’s Crossing, on high way two miles above Conyers. This is as poor soil as there is in the county I suppose, as it has had the soil removed and used on the highway. Crop on it last year was a failure, but has good com on it this year whore vetch or peas were used, and very poor in the center where no vetch and peas were used. Mr. Pots has as good demonstration on cotton. Why not sow vetch and double the yield as is being done in many places in this county and other counties. Some coun ties are sowing two to four car loads of these seeds this fall. Why should Rockdale County stay behind when we know how to get ahead and make money? Build your soil and the soil will yield you good crops. That is what we need most. For more information on the value of these crops, see the following men in Rockdale County, who know their value: L. A. Bowen, G. S. Potts, Dr. F. C. McDaniel, Carl Granade. W. L King and others. These crops will pay you. Alfalfa should be sown early in October where possible. How much lime and seed do you want? Let’s get together on this and have every thing ready. Three tons of lime and forty pounds of seed per acre is about right. To make a lot of good hay next spring sow a mixture of wheat, oats and vetch this fall. One bushel of oats, three pecks of wheat and ten pounds of vetch with 200 pounds of acid phosphate per acre is about right. AUCTION! CONYERS, GA. Thursday, Oct. 3, 10 A. M. | W. V. Almand Estate E.
