PAGE TWO COLLEGEiIEELS NOT 111 JjKDiTIOI The Professors Are Too Busy At the School of Agriculture to Leave and No Car Runs This Season. Bp eclal to The Herald. ATLANTA, Ga—President J. J. Connor of the board of trustees of the SIOO,OOO Agricultural college at Ath ens and also the president of the Stale Agricultural society of Georgia while In Atlanta Saturday announced, definitely, that the "Agricultural Col lege on Wheels" will not be operat ed tins year, as first contemplated. The reason given for this action Is not on account of any lack of co-op eration by the roads In Georgia or opposition by the railroad commis sion of Georgia, or lack of Interest In the train by the planters of the state, for these tiirse elements were heart ily In favor of the train, but because of the splendid growth In the Inter est at the Agricultural college, which would prevent Dr. Soule ami Ills able corps of assistants from devoting the time necessary to the trip at this juncture. The absence of the train will ho keenly felt throughout the stale, be cause it Is believed the tour of 1908 was provocative of great good. President Connor had Just returned from Athens, where he has been In at tendance at the Partners’ Institute and that of the Farmers’ Wives, which came to a close Saturday. He declared It had been so successful that It had been decided to repeat the conference next year. At this conference some of the best known authorities on agricultural topics In the state were heard In lectures. One of the chief Industries general ly discussed at this conference was that of catle raising In Georgia. l)r. Boulo Is bending ail of his energies In this direction. He Is an ardent ad vocate of the use of cotton seed meal mixed with hulls as a feed, having made experiments whereby It has been proven that by feeding a ton of this mixture properly proportioned, 800 pounds can he ndded to the weight of the cattle fed. It Is accept ed as the cheapest as well as the best feed on the market, and has been pointed out In using it. the Southern plainer helps himself who furnishes to tne mills the Bred from which It Is made.
