EVANGELS OF GREATER
AND BETTER GEORGIA
That the county farm agent Is the
hope of Georgia farmers in combatting
the boll weevil and saving agriculture
in the state from decay, is eloquently
voiced by President C. J. H&den of the
State Chamber of Commerce, who de¬
scribes the county agents as the
"Evangels of a Greater and Better
Georgia.” President Haden is very
anxious to save the tenant class of
farmers from the disasters of the boll
weeviL The county agents, by hold¬
ing group, or field meetings, of farm¬
ers in every community, has oppor¬
tunities that is possible for no one
else to have, for helping the tenant
farmers through the distress that con¬
fronts them. Such meetings are be¬
ing held and have been held for sev¬
eral years, and Georgia’s tenant class
of fanners has been prepared for the
bell weevil as probably the tenant
farmers of no other state, which has
been Invaded by the weeviL Those
counties which do not have county
agents, of course, are not so well pre¬
pared.
Farm Changes 1
For Boll Weevil
Readjustment Requires Careful Plan¬
ning To Be Safe
ANDREW M. SOULE, President Ga.
State College Of Agriculture.
Any system of safe farming, under
boll weevil conditions should provide
that the cultivated area of the farm
should be so divided as to grow
enough corn to provide for family and
the live stock throughout the year.
The area will vary with the fertility
of the land, but on a two-horse farm
not less than ten, or, better still, twen¬
ty acres of land should be devoted to
this crop. Enough land should be
devoted to oats and small grains to
meet home requirements.
If the oats are properly handled
they will provide some grazing. A
great variety of hay and forage-pro¬
ducing crops can be grown successful¬
ly after oats, but It is important to
remember that the cultivation of le¬
gumes should be emphasized because
of their ability to gather nitrogen from
the air.
Certainly, thejarnier should provide
all the meat needed for his family.
There is no reason why two to six
brood sows should not be maintained
on the average two-horse farm. Graz¬
ing crops should be depended on to
provide the food needed for the growth
and fattening of young pigs. They
can be hardened oft with a little corn
in the fall and a very choice quality
of meat obtained.
A small flock of hens will provide
all the eggs needed and leave a sur¬
plus for sale. Probably no class of
meat is in greater demand in towns
and cities than chickens.
Every wise farmer will keep at least
two cows so that his family will be
■applied with an abundance of milk
and butter at all seasons of the year.
Then If he will keep a couple of brood
mares and raise a colt or two each
year, he can maintain his work stock
on an efficient basis. Next the farmer
should provide a garden. A half acre
of land will produce all the vegetables
which a family of six can possibly eat,
and if a proper rotation is established
and the garden well fertilized and han¬
dled, fresh vegetables may be had at
almost any season of the year. There
is probably no section which will pro¬
duce a greater variety of vegetables
with greater ease than the southeast¬
ern state*, and yet the garden is neg¬
lected, because its value is not appre¬
ciated and its Influence on the health
of the family not understood.
After having accomplished the fore¬
going, the farmer should devote a
reasonable area of his land to the
cultivation of cotton, as Ms main
money crop. If this plan is followed,
a system of safe fanning will have
been established throughout the south.
Treating Sorehead
Or Chicken Pox
WM, 8. D1LT8, Poultry Instructor, Ga.
State College Of Agriculture.
The disease commonly known as
Sore Head or Chicken Pox is very
prevalent in Georgia. It first appears
aa small, white pimples on the face,
wattles or comb of the bird. These
pimples grow in size and later a dark,
hard scab forms. In extreme cases,
the unfeathered portions of the head
are entirely covered and the eyes are
nearly dosed. The disease may spread
to other portions of the body.
The whitish pimples should be paint¬
ed with tincture of iodine and greased
with carbolated vaseline. If the scabs
are dry, they should be removed and
burned.
The following treatment can be used
for building up the system, thus in¬
creasing resistance to the disease.
For three days feed the chickens a
moist mash each day containing one
third teaspoonful epsom salts for ev¬
ery fowl In the flock. For the three
days following, feed a moist mash con¬
taining one-third teaspoonful sulphur
for ovary fowl in the flock. This treat¬
ment can then be repeated in this or¬
der as long as thought desirable.
Advantages of Fall Plowing
John R. Fain, Prof. Of Agronomy, Ga.
State College Of Agriculture,
Still lands of Georgia ought to b*
plowed in the fail, the earlier the bet
tar, ao that they will get the advan¬
tage of the freezing and thawing
through the year. If is better to leave
the land rough so as to expose as
much of it as possible to the elements.
For this reason plowing is much bet
tar than disking.
The fall is the best time to plow
deep, for at that time the subsoil is
dry and does not clod. It is also the
time to subsoil for the same reason.
Bulb Planting Season
Tha fall of the year is the season
for setting out bulbs. Jonquils, nar¬
cissi, hyacinths and tulips, and many
of the lilies should be planted before
Christmas.
Bulbs that are to be forced for bloom¬
ing in the house should be planted in
pots or flat* in good soil from the first
to the middle of October. They should
then be placed in a dark room or cel¬
lar for a month to six week*. Do not
let them dry out nor do not keep them
too wet. They will bloom from six
waeks to two months after being
brought Into the warm room.—T. H.

PLAN TO RESUME
RAILWAY INQUIRY
AFTER MARCH 4TH
Postponement Forced by Press
ot Congressional Business.
COUNTRY DEMANDS ACTION
Shippers, Investors and Representa¬
tives of All Branches of Business De¬
mand Unification of System of Rail¬
way Regulation—Roads Ask Fewer
Masters.
Washington, Dec. 18.—The Congres¬
sional Joint Committee on Interstate
Commerce, which has been conducting
the inquiry into government regulation
and control of transportation, last
week decided to suspend its bearings
on the subject and adjourned, subject
to the call of the chairman, because of
the pressure of other work before Con
gress. According to the resolution cre¬
ating the committee. It Is required to
submit a report by January 8th next
It Is understood that before that time
the committee will ask for an exten
sion of time and that the bearings will
be resumed at a later date, when some
of those who already have appeared
before the committee will be question
ed further and a great many others
will be heard. It is probable, bower
er, that the hearings will not be resum
ed until after adjournment of Congress
on March +th. In addition to regular
routine business tha commerce com¬
mittees of the two bouses are charged
with the Important duty of preparing
and presenting the legislation asked
for by President Wilson to make im
possible a railroad strike without pre
vlous Investigation. This will tear*
little or no time for the consideration
of the general questions of railway
regulation.
Country Wants Something Dona.
Members of Congress aud others
who are interested in the inquiry un¬
dertaken by the Newlands Committee
Insist that there is no intention of
abandoning it.
It seems doubtful. Indeed, If the
country would permit the matter to
be dropped if there were evidence of a
desire on the part of Congress to do
so. The nation-wide evidences of In¬
terest evoked by the initiation of the
Newlanda inquiry show that the peo¬
ple of the country—shippers, consum¬
ers and investors, as well as railway
men themselves—are alive to the fact
that the railway situation is highly un¬
satisfactory and that steps must be
taken without unnecessary delay to
make it possible for the railroads to
meet the growing needs of the nation.
From reports received here it seems
as though almost, every commercial or¬
ganization and business interest in the
country were engaged in studying the
railroad question. The Chamber of
Oommerce of the United States has
been conducting an elaborate inquiry
Into various phases of the subject for
many months past. Many local and
state commercial bodies in every part
of the country have committees en
gaged in study of the problem and
have indicated a desire to come here
and present their views. National or¬
ganizations of manufacturers, lumber¬
men, coal operators, wholesale and re¬
tail dealers, have expressed through
resolutions their desire for the unifica¬
tion of the system of railway regnla
tion. The National Industrial Traffic
League, speaking from the viewpoint
of shippers using the railways, has
indorsed exclusive federal regulation
providing it Is accomplished in such a
way as to give full protection and
prompt adjustment in matters relating
to transportation within the states.
Many Interests Studying Problsm.
All these organizations represent pri¬
marily the shippers of the country, but
they are not the only ones who are
taking a hand in the discussion. The
investors of the nation, through, their
own associations and through commit¬
tees representing the savings banks and
other financial organizations, are pre¬
paring to show the necessity of improv¬
ing railroad credit and protecting the
rights of those whose money is invest¬
ed in railway securities. Finally the
railroads themselves, being vitally con¬
cerned in the improvement of existing
conditions, are planning to submit their
views through their executives, oper¬
ating officials and traffic experts and
to assert their willingness to accept far
reaching federal regulation along lines
that will enable them to attract capital
and to provide the facilities needed for
the prompt and efficient handling of
the country’s transportation business.
Main Trouble Is Too Many Masters.
Not all of these interests are in ac¬
cord as to the remedies that should be
adopted. There seems to be a general
agreement, however, that many of the
difficulties which confront the railroads
sad which make It impossible for them
to meet the requirements of the na¬
tion’s commerce promptly and satisfac¬
torily arise from the haphazard and
often conflicting measures of regulation
that have been adopted from time to
time by the federal government and the
forty-eight states and that what is
needed ia a well ordered, systematic
scheme of federal regulation that shall
cover the whole country and make It
possible for the railroads to provide the
extensions and improved facilities so
badly needed, while at the same time
protecting fully the public interests.
