Qae-Variety Community CeMea Wee%
North Ca. With StonwvUU Ho. S
One-variety community work with
cotton wait started in a small way at
Orchard Hill three years ago. The
Georgia Experiment Station furaish-
irroup of selected farmers
HU ,, ..id of Stoneville No. 2 variety
at oil mill prices. The only condition
impo ed by the Station was that the
farmers keep these seed pure and ex
change them with their neighbors nt
the end of the year on the basis of
bushel of Stoneville No. 2 seed
for one and a half bushels of oil
the idea that spread so that today the
mill wed. From this small beginning
Orchard Hill community is the cen
ter of an area of about BOO square
miles of communities growing only
variety of cotton. One-variety
community work in Georgia has
»pread rapidly during the last few
■ months. This winter new communi
ties have already been established at
Brown’* Crossing in Baldwin County,
at Coapptl, Milner, and Goggins in
Lamar Cocnty. at Zebulon, Means-
riTle. and Concord in Pike County,
ind at YatesviHe and Thomaston in
‘ =on County. A number of others

The one-variety cotton gin at
Orchard Hill has arted very much
e a stone dropped in a quiet pool
voter. Next yenr the territory
mnd Orchard Hill will be entirely
reminded by an encircling group
on* variety communities. Th ! s has
boon largely due to farmers seeing
th* results nrrrrmplbfaed at Orchard
1M! Next year at least ten gins will
rm only nn« variety of cotton and
• •’ven other gins will have gin days.
In addition to this there are about
venty lucaiions wh'ch have shown
‘onriderdble interest in a one-variety
community and it is not improbable
-me or nil of these will "nave
1 days next season.

premium of $8.75 per bale. It was
estimated that farmers obtained a
difference of $8-25 per aere in fav
or of Stoneville No. 2 County Agent
Martin at Zebulon, Georgia, made a
similar survey in Pike County at
Zebulon, Meansville, and Concord-
At these points the difference in
favor of the Stoneville No. 2 cotton
amounted to $6.00 per acre.
A farmer in Coweta County who
was a firm believer in Wannamaker
Cleveland was induced to try some
Stoneville No. 2 this year. He plant
ed it in four adjoining fields of
about the same fertility. He kept
careful records of the results, even
thning his pickers in order to obtain
Ihe comparative picking qualities of
the two cottons, and found that
practically the same amount per day
of each variety was picked by the
same picker and that Stoneville No.
2 produced 50 pounds more lint per
acre than Wannamaker Cleveland.
This increased yield together with
his premium gave hhn a difference
of |9.00 per acre in favor of Stone-
ville No. 2. While dozens of farmers
have made similar tests which satis
fied them that Stoneville No. 2 was
better variety than the one they
were growing, none has kept as care
ful record as Mr. Johnson of Cow
eta County.
The Georgia Experiment Station
has been aiding in the work by in
creasing the available supply of seed
and distributing it to farmer* »t
reasonable prices. This year the Stt-
lion will have 120 tons of seed for
distribution. To obtain enough good
seed nt reasonable prices with tBe
limited faeilitic avn'laMe bas proved
l„ be one of the most difficult to*,

year twice ns many orders were re

• •ddion brought an average, been kno
during the last ten years that we
have definitely known what it will
do. No live stock on the farm needs
sunlight for health and results as
doea poutry.
It is the utralviolol rays of sun
light which play so important a part
in poultry keeping. The Experiment
Station of Wisconsin, Ohio, and New
Jersey proved that ordinary flan
and cloth bar out these rays of
light. For this reason it is necessary
on sunny days to open the windows
and flood the house with the d ! rect
rays of the sun.
Instead of using glass or cloth
that will soil for windows, go to
your local hardware store and pur
chase a type of window materia 1
which will let through these rays. At
the same time obtain a water pan
which will hold at least sixteen
quarts of water and isn’t
inches deep.
Grow Hoalthy Sweol Potato Plaata
This Yoa
To get the best returns from sweet
potatoes this year growers will need
to grow healthy plants and keep their
fields free from disease. To grow
healthy plants it will be necessary to
start with slips that are Bound. They
should not be infested with auch
disease as stem rot. black root, root
rot, scurf or other destructive troub
les that originate in the seed beds.
Healthy slips can be obtained by
carefully observing a few compare
tively simple precautions. In the first
place, the seed potatoes that are to
be used for bedding should be care
fully examined for decay, and blem
ishes, and any that show such injuries
should he thrown out. It should be
kept in mind that some of these d,s-
cases may be harbored in very small
spots in the potato, so a thorough
examination for these is necessary.
The next step is to disinfect the
seed potatoes to kill any germs that
may be on the surface. This is done
by immersing the potatoes for 8
minute, in . sol, tion of corrosive
sublim.tc or mercuric chloride mode
in proportion, of 4 ounce, to S2 R»J-
of vrster. For ordinsry quaoti-
ties of potatoes this esq be done
conveniently in . wooden barrel. The
potatoes are placed in a bushel b.s-
Eet or crate that will slip Inf
the barrel nnd hnmerae for 8 min
ute* in the solut'on. For large qoan
titles Of potatoes aevendb.rrebica:
be used or a large wooden tank 01
pnlvlfnired iron tank coatedI with
n-phalt paint on the inside c

metals, so the wooden or nsphnl
coated container ia best.

of 32 gallons by adding water After

so dirty and so weakened that it
should be thrown away and a new
one made up.
The third important «tep in ret
ting healthy rilps ia sanitation of the
seed bed. If manure is u.-wd »t should
be free from any sweet potato re
fuse which may introduce disease
producing organisms. The sand o'
roil for the bed should be new eac;i
year, and obtained from woods o-
snnd P*t away from former pota
felds. Remove all rubbish ab 011

healthy plants should be put in the
fields that Jko are free from dis-
producing fungi because infec
tion can take place there. It is not
known just how long these germs
can remain in the soil in the absence
of sweet potatoes, but doubtless for
several years. Therefore the rota
tion should he arranged to kr
sweet potatoes but doubtless for sev
eral years. Therefore the rotation
should be arranged to keep sweet
potatoes off the land for at least
three years, and preferably longer.

Athens, Ga.—A soil erosion pro
ject for which $300,000 has been
allotted by the federal government
will be located in Clarke county
The work, which is aimed at showing
the value of withdrawing worn out
land from cultivation and planting
it in trees or other thick growing
plants to prevent erosion, will begin
as soon as a staff can be selected.
Application for the funds to carry
•out the project was made by the
board of regents of the university
system and the department of agri
culture and college of agriculture
will aid in the work.
