SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22. 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- PIANO LESSONS.

Grain, stock and truck are j greatly on the increase; abattoirs, cold storage plants for meats and vege tables, packing houses, grain eleva tors, warehouses for grain, and mer chants prepared to buy the new pro- j ducts are springing up all over the state,” said Commissioner Price. 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 ber of Commerce, Bibb County. “We have 125 demonstration farms in this county', each of which is doing splen did -work.

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." Washington.—Georgia and Houth'Caro lina: Fair and wanner Sunday; Monday fair; light west to southwest winds.

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.
