A Flower for Paradise.
Mrs. Emir.a Crow, wife of Mr.
W. T. Crow, closed her eyes in
the everlasting sleep Monday, the
li’.th, after a short illness from
pneumonia. The funeral ser
vrees were held at Pleasant Grove
Tuesday afternoon by Rev.G. W.
Forrist, and tlie remains were
tendei ly laid to rest.
She was a sweet, sunny dispo
sition, loved by all who knew her
She has left a shining mark more
beautiful than pen .or paper can
describe. She was a sweet Chris
tian woman, blight and cheerful.
The mother has lost a dear
daughter, her three sisters a
sweet sister, her hustand a lov
ing companion; but while it is
their loss, it is her eternal gain.
All her sufferings are past; she
is at rest: and if we could lift the
vail and look beyond we believe
her angelic form could he seen
beckoning us to come, for death
is ordy a dream. She lias pa sed
to her toward beyond the sinn
ing shore.
Our dear one now has gone to r >st.
I'rotu, pain and so row free ;
’1 ile sleeping form so much \v>- love
Kii more on earth we’ll see.
With tearful eyes and aching hearts
We speak the hast good bye,
But soon we’ll meet, her to never part,
Where pleasures never die.
Sleep on, sleep bn, thy peaceful slebp,
Kn sleep hath earth so sweet ;
Tho’ hcreinid gloom we moan and weep
Jn heaven again we’ll meet.

FERTILIZING LAND
AFTER VELVET BEANS
MUCH NEW INTEREST IN THIS
CROP IN BOLL WEEVIL
TERRITORY
Oy ANDREW M. SOULE, President
Ga. State College Of Agriculture
The question of fertilizing land on
whicli velvet beans were grown last
year will depend considerably ou the
disposition made of the velvet bean
crop. The usual practice is to graze
eat lie and hogs on the crop in the
Held until late winter or early spring,
and then turn under the residue.
Where this is done the greater par* of
the fertilizing value in the crop is re
turned to the land. Very often the
beans are harvested, and cattle grazed
on the vines and beans that were not
picked, and where this is done, a part
of the fertilizing value of the crop is
lost.
The velvet bean is a rank, grower.
Especially is I his true in the southern
pail of the state, where the growing
season is long. The bean is legumi
nous and gathers much nitrogen from
the air, which is stored in .the plant,
and if it is returned to the soil in
ilie manner stated above, the soil will
be enriched thereby. Under these con
ditions a great deal of nitrogen is not
required in. the fertilizer 1 used under
the following crop. Acid phosphate
can, however, be used to good advan
tage, and if it is desired to rush the
crop along very fast, one or two per
cent ef nitrogen in the fertilizer can
be used, such as a 10 2, or 12-2 mix
ture.
One of the greatest benefits derived
front the velvet bean crop is the or
ganic matter, or humus, which it adds
to the soil, when the residue is turned
under, as above stated. This greatly
improves all of our soils.
Siup The "tig Leak”
$1,000,000 A MONTH SPENT FOR
HORSES AND MULES CAN
BE SAVED.
By M. P. JARNAGIN, Professor Of
Animal Husbandry, Georgia State
College Of Agriculture.
Six years ago the animal husbandry
division of the State College of Agri
culture, at Athens, purchased a pair
of high grade- Percheron mares for
$470.00. These animals have done
regular team work for six consecutive
seasons, and considering their extra
value for heavy hauling, it is believed
they hqve been worth as much In ac
tual farm work as any pair of mules
owned by the farm. _
The idea of securing this team was
to demonstrate that farm workstock
could be produced at home, and the
“big leak” of $1,000,000 a month for
the purchase of northern raised horses
and ntules was useless waste. In the
six years these animals have raised
eight foals. Seven of them were sold,
■ in the main as colts, for the sum total
of $1,100.00, and one filly retained on
the farm. It is thus demonstrated
that the by-product of a pair of brood
mares is a very valuable asset to the
owner. The mares are still sound ami
are good workers, and both are. again
safe In foal.
It will be noticed this is a striking
contrast to the showing made by the
average pair of mules, purchased for
tlie same amount of money, when it
is remembered the mares in addition
t<> doing the work of a* pair of mules,
have much more than twice overpaid
for themselves in the sale of colts.
The mares were taken out of work
10 days to 2 weeks before the foals
were born and were returned to work
whi'ii the colt was 10 days old. By
breeding the mares so as to drop the
colts before the rush of spring
work, this loss of time is negligible
in the course of the year’s work.
There are more than 50,000. mares
in the State of Georgia which should
bo producing foals at the present time.
Every one of the entire number should
be bred to sound registered draft stal
lions, or to big boned, strong jacks.
The College has assisted in creating
a greater Interest in livestock produc
tion in the State than ever before.
Much assistance has been rendered
citizens in the location of purebred
animals, and in the formation of clubs
in various communities for the pur
chase and cooperative use of purebred
sires.
Plant A Home
Garden and Orchard
T. H. McHATTON, Prof. Horticulture,
Ga. State College Of Agriculture
There are 300,000 farms in Georgia.
If each farm had a home garden and
made $26.00, \t would return a profit
of over $7,000,00?).00 to the state. If
each home orchard made SIO.OO, it
would mean a profit of $3,000,000.00 to
the state.
The College has records of home
gardens of one-twentieth of an acre
that produced $25.00 net last year. This
is at the rate of $500.00 per acre.
VVc have records of small home orch
ards that netted from SIO.OO to $15.00
last year. This is not an excessive rec
ord front a home orchard.
The boll weevil has arrived. The
successful farmer who expects to pros
per under boll weevil conditions must
live at home. The home orchard and
Inrfne garden are important factors in
the boll weevil fi£ht. Do not neglect
either.
NORTH GEORGIAN, CUMMING, GEORGIA,
Influence t)f
County Agents' Work
By.J. Phil Campbell, Director Or Exten
sion, State College Of Agriculture
Much has been written about the
counly agents’ activities in agricultural
development. Great progn ss has been
made in the state of Geoig'a in in
creasing the. output per acre, and con
sequently ihe total out-put of our vari
ous farm crops and live flock What
per cent of this increase is due to
county agents’- efforts can not, always
be determined. Neither <’ .< s the coun
ty agent wish to claim everything in
the way of agricultural improvement
that has been accomplished.
Prof. .1. Phil Campbell,
Dear Sir:—■
Last January in Athene I spoke to
you about Mr. Ross M. Gridley doing
some hog demonstration work in my
county this year. You told me to take
it up with you by letter when I came
home.' I have been so unusually busy
this spring that I have forgotten it on
office days, but I am very anxious
about the matter.
if Wayne county ever shipped out a
car load of hogs untik last year I
have not been able to miTh anything
about it. During the past season one
buyer has shipped two Carloads of hog.-,
besides the other stock. Tlie cld
storage plant which [ was Instrumental
in having built has long ago destroyed
their advertising matter because they
did not have room for additional meat.
They will double the capacity of the
plant this year. They had as much
as sixty tons of meat on hand at one
time. This gives you an idea of the
interest that is being a. used along
that line.
One of our wealthiest citizens told
me recently that my activities along
that line had been worth far more to
the county than my services had ever
cost lh(> county, but I need help. How
about it"?
Very truly yours,
J. P. SIIEDD, County Agent.
The above private letter asking for
help gives one ii tie instance of what
a county has <1 tie under the agent's
direction. Similar instances can be
found in every county in the state.
County agents have been employed in
more than one hundred counties of
the state and district agents and spe
cialists have been at work in every
county. Some line of extension activ
ity is carried on in every part of Geor
gia. Th(> persistent call frnn various
sources for tlie production of more
food crops and live stock is" being met.
It takes time to make, any change
worth while. In the end, we shall find
Georgia producing cotton as a surplus
ct'op.
Crslisrd NBtes ftj April
T. H. McHatton, Prof. Of Horticulture,
Ga. State College Of|Agri.
The fertilizer as recommended last
month should be applied by this time.
The orchard should also have received
its plowing, and cultivation sh -aid be
continue;! through lit April. The or
chard should be gone over completely
at least twice with a spring tooth or
■ pike tooth harrow. The trees need
a lot of moisture at this time, and
everything shculd be done to conserve
it for them.
The spraying for Curculio and Cod
ling Moth, as well as for some .other
insects and diseases, should be per
formed this month, as recommended in
another column.
Grapes should he sprayed this month
with Bordeaux mixture, which is made
as follows: 3 pounds of copper sul
phate dissolved in 25 gallons of wa
ter, 6 pounds quick lime, slaked and
made up to 25 gallons with water. The
two materials shodUl then be poured
together through a fly screen, making
50 gallons Bordeaux mixture. This
material should he applied to grapes
every three weeks front the time be
fore they bb om until a month or six
weeks before the fruit is ripe. By fol
lowing this system, grapes can be
grown most free from rot.
Sweat Potato Growers Should
Plan For Storing Crops
M. C. Gay, Field Ager.t in Marketing,
Ga. State College Of Agriculture
If the producers will look into the
market for sweet potatoes they will
he convinced of the necessity of a
more rational method of handling the
crop than the one followed by the av
erage grower.
According to the government cr p
report, Georgia prbcluced 7,520,000
bushels in 111]6. The best authority on
the subject estimates that
per cent of tlie sweet potato crop in
the Sou'll spoils each year, and that
the remainder is badly damaged. Ex
periments with storage houses built
according to the g.-.vernnient plan show r
conclusively that sweet potatoes can
be kept any winter and till late in
tho spring with very little loss, thus
enabling the producer to get a much
greater return for his crop. In our
investigations we have not found a sin
gle instance in which the potatoes
stored in houses were being sold f r
less than $1 a bushel. In some in
stances they have brought $1.25 f. o. b.
shipping point. Just now yellow' pota
to*' which have been kiln dried, grad
ed and carefully packed are quoted as
high as $2.25 on some of the larger
markets.
Bulletins ami other informati n on
this subject may be had by writing the
State College of Agriculture, Athens,
Georgia.
