GREAT INCREASE
IN DIVERSIFIED
GEORGIA GROPS
Sweeping Results in the Right
Direction Already Attained,
Says State Commissioner
Price-.-Big Progress Made.
Atlanta, Ga. —“As a direct result of
the European war, Georgia will show,
a year from now, greater progress in
diversified crops and stock-raising
than in any previous twenty years of
her history,” is the statement of J.
D. Price, commissioner of agriculture,
after reading reports received in his
office from chambers of commerce)
and similar organizations all over
Georgia.
“These reports show the sweeping
results already accomplished through
the efforts of hundreds of progressive
Georgians since the war started, Au-

Already Here.
“Diversified farming is not coming |
to Georgia; it is already here, and on 1
tlie march. Farmers who wait until
tlie harvest season to see the results
of these changes, instead of getting
on the band-wagon now, will have i
empty pockets and the memory of lost j
chances as the result of their failure j
to make the most of present oppor
tunities.”
Some of the many reports received
by Commissioner Price follow:
Hogs and cattle will supplement a
50 per cent reduction of the cotton
crop in Colquitt County, writes John
F. Greer, secretary of the Moultrie
Chamber of Commerce. All of thei
stock will be bought by the Moultrie
Packing House, he says, and arrange
ments are being made to buy all the
hay and grain raised and to handle all
the truck. Mr. Greer estimates that
15,000 to 25,000 hogs will be raised in
Colquitt County during the next 12
months.
“We have succeeded in getting far
mers to plant 47 acres in alfalfa, which
is doing beautifully," reports E. H.
Hyman, secretary of the Macon Cham

in Bibb.
Crop diversification, says Mr. Hy
man, is nothing new to Bibb County,
where it has been urged for the past
four years. .
“Alfalfa, oats, corn, red clover,
wheat, burr elejver and hairy vetch
will be the substitute for the 50 to 60
per cent reduction of next year’s cot
ton crop.” he writes. “We are erad
icating tlie cattle tick, and are rais
ing many cattle and hogs.”
John H. Mock, secretary of the Al
bany Chamber of Commerce, Dough
erty County, writes that “this organ
ization is doing all in its power to
encourage diversified crops, and has
brought H. H. Parrish, a government
farm demonstrator, here to help the
work along. His fall report allows that
many acres are to be planted in corn,
oats, hairy vetch mixed with oats, al
falfa and grazing crops for hogs. Lo
cal jobbers will handle most of the
hogs raised, while tho packing house
at Moultrie will take care of tho sur
plus.”
Based on facts gathered -by the
Spalding County Alfalfa Club, Win. B.
Royster, secretary to the Griffin and
Spalding County Chamber of Com
merce, makes the following report:
Every Member.
“At a recent meeting of our agricul
tural club, it developed that every
member is diversifying ills crops,
planting for grain and so.-age, and do
ing everything possible to preserve
and redeem the fertility of his soil.
“Oats, wheat, corn and alfalfa will
be planted to take the place qf a 60
per cent reduction in cotton acreage.
Several thousand acres of these crops
have already been planted; several
thousand :.iore are in preparation for
planting. A strong committee has
been appointed to secure markets and
provide methods for disposing of these
1915 crops.”
C. G. Brantley, secretary-manager
of the Carrollton Chamber of Com
merce, Carroll County reports that
“oats, wheat, corn and peas will sup
plement \the cotton crop next year,
which-will be .reduced at least 30 per
cent. We Hope to inaugurate a bond
ed warehouse for grain; we are pre
paring to raise cattle and hogs to some
extent.”
.prain Elevator.
Plans are being made to erect a
grain elevator at Manchester, reports
R. D. Cole, of the Coweta Chamber of
Commerce; grain, corn and hay will
supplement a 50 per cent reduction in
cotton, he says. He states that sev
eral farmers have already bought
short-horn cattle, and that the num
ber of hogs will be greatly increased.
Some .farmers in the county, however,
he says, wilt not take a chance on di
versified crops until they see the ex
periment tried out by others.
Hogs will be raised on a large scale,
and also cattle, reports R. Caster, sec
retary of the Toccoa Board of Trade,
Stephens County. Committees, he
says, are canvassing each militia dis
trict, mrging farmers to pledge eatton
reductlon. He estimates that the Step
hens’ cotton crop will be out in half,
and corn, oats, rape and rye planted
in its stead.
v- J. J. Farrell, secretary of the Bain
bridge Board of Trade, writes; "I do
not think any county in the state will
make a better showing this year than
Decatur. The government's hog chol
era eradication station here is work
ing wonders, not only with hogs, but
with liveetick generally, and the oral
opening of the Moultrie Packing
House, added to tho urgings of Drs.
Bahnsen and Hutchens, have greatly
stimulated interest in livestock.
Only One.
“Last fall we had only one farmer
who planted clover for winter forage;
this year we have over a hundred;
more than 5,000 pounds of clover seed
will be plan.ted this year. Cotton will
be cut 50 per cent; as a substitute,
largo quantities of oats and truck and'
a small quantity of wheat will be
grown. Cattle will be raised on a very
large scale. There are 55,000 hogs in
this county now, according to the
United States census reports; this
number should be increased - ' 10 per
cent this year. Much money has al
ready been made this season from
corn, syrup, hay and pecans.”
W. F. Whatley, Brunswick, farm
demonstration agent for Glynn County
reports that corn, bats and vegetables
will be grown in quantities, and that
the present number of hogs will be
increased at least 20 per cent. Many
cattle are already raised in Glynn
County, he says.
Outlook Bright.
J. D. Jones, of Jackson, editor of
the Butts County Progress, writes that
"the outlook is bright for diversified
farming. Unquestionably there will
be the largest acreage plahted In grain
this season that the county has ever
known. Many farmers have gone in
for cattle and hogs on an extensive
scale; work against the cattle tick Is
in progress. Oats, clover, alfalfa,
vetches, etc., will supplement the cot
ton crop, which will be cut from 25
to 40 per cent. A carload of short
horn cattle has Just been received, and
a rolling mill is planned. The mer
chants have agreed to handle a large
amount of grain."
THINK FRENCH EXPLOSIVES
DEMONSTRATED SUPERIOR
Bordeaux.—One thing French engi
neer believe has been demonstrated
by the war is the superiority of*the
French explosives. That Is the opin
ion of Kmile Moustlker, an eminent
expert attached to the greatest am
munition and gun manufactory In
France,
"Most modern explosives,” he said,
"are based on picric acid, but the com
bination arrived at by French chem
ists has shown itself under the test
of war conditions more reliable in its
action and more powerful in its re
sults. •
"Of course, the stories in the news
papers of the dire effects of our shells
are much exaggerated. It is said
whole companies were stricken dead
in the act of playing cards. But I
know as a fact that men have been
found dead in strange attitudes with
out a scratch. The exirtanation of
this is simple. The explosion of th#
shell causes a sudden terrific air pres
sure within a certain radius. This
pressure is as suddenly withdrawn,
the effect being to stop the whole hu
man organism. It Is as if a diver
were precipitated to a great depth and
'nstantly brought to the surface again.
No living being can stand such a
strain."

HOW A TORPEDO
IS LAUNCHED
The remarkable damage wrought by
German automobile torpedoes on the
British navy has excited widespread
interest in this silent destroyer. In a
very complete article on the torpedo
in warfare by a technical expert In a
special war issue of the Scientific Ann
eriban, the writer gives the following
interesting description of tlie firing of
this submarine foe:
In tlie present singe of its develop
ment there are three methods by which
the automobile torpedo Ih started on
its destructive flight. First, It may lie
discharged through the side of a bat
tleship or cruiser at a depth of from
twelve to fifteen feet below the sur
face of the water from a tube contain
ed within the hull of the vessel; sec
ond, it may be discharged from a
launching tube mounted on the deck
of a destroyer; and third, it may lie
discharged from the nose of a sub
marine.
