VOLUME XII
Parties Are Now Working in
Two Georgia Counties.
GREAT HEP TO FARMERS
Proper Methods ot Preparing Soils Found in
Different Sections ol the State to be Laid
Before the.Farmers.
Washington, D. C. — Soil survey
work in the state of Georgia is being
continued by parties working in Bul¬
lock and Sumter counties, Georgia.
The work in these two counties Is
undertaken in compliance with re¬
quests which have been made from
prominent officials of the state of
Georgia that soil surveys of each one
of the Georgia counties in which one
of the district agricultural high
schools is located should be made at
an early date. Soil surveys have al¬
ready been completed and published
for Cobh and Tift counties and sur¬
veys of Pike and Hancock counties
have been completed and the reports
will be ready for distribution at an
early date. A soil survey of Franklin
county, Georgia, was completed dur¬
ing the summer of 1909, and is now
in the hands of the printer. It will
probably be issued within a few
months' time.
It is the intention of the Bureau of
Soils of the United States Department
of Agriculture to continue the soil sur¬
vey work until a detailed soil survey
has been made of every county In
which an agricultural high school Is
located. In this way the lessons
learned in regard to the proper metfl
ods of preparing the handling of each
of the important soil types found in
the vicinity can be carried home to
the farmers within the county.
As soon as Lie agricultural high
school counties are completed addi¬
tional counties will be taken up and
within the next few years the experi¬
mental work conducted at the hfgn
schools will become applicable over
a large portion of the state of Geor¬
gia through the determination by the
soil surveys of the different types ot
soil which constitute the agricultural
land of the various sections investi¬
gated.
FREE HEALTH AIDS.
State Board of Health Will Furnieh
Antitoxin and Serums.
Atlanta, Ga.—The state board of
health is now in position to aid the
poor people of Georgia a great deal
by furnishing antitoxin, serums and
microscopic examinations.
Up to the present time there has
been but little advantage taken of
the free aid of the state. While the
treatment is for the poor and rich
(Hike it was primarily intended to help
the poor.
The treatments are furnished
through the ordinaries and physicians
of the various counties upon request
free examinations of all real or bus
pected cases of diseases produced by
any form of bacteria or animal para¬
sites.
q'he announcement also mad
that the laboratory sends free each
day Pasteur vaccine for the treatment
of hydrophobia. This is a great aid
to the poor people and Is a sure cure
for the dreaded disease. Antitoxin
for the treatment of dyphtheria is also
furnished in any quantity desired.
FIGHTING BLACK ROOT.
Entomologist Worsham Planting Cot¬
ton Seed of Resistant Variety.
Atlanta, Ga—State Entomologist E.
L. Worsham lias perfected plans for
the growing of between 2,500 and 3,
000 bushels of the resistant variety
of cotton seed which tests have prov
en is not subject to the ravages ot
the black root, which costs the cot
ton growers of Georgia thousands ot
dollars each year. Tin se will be lo¬
cated in the counties of Dooly, Schley
and Sumter. Experiments made in
growing this resistant variety in those
counties last year have proven great
successes.
Entomologist Worsham secured 1,-
200 bushels of this resistant variety
for distribution this spring, and be
sending to each applicant a half bush¬
el of this valuable seed, has spread
the resistant variety on 2,500 farms
throughout Georgia.
Million Dollar Trolley Line.
Atlanta, Ga. The Atlanta and
Northeastern Railroad Company will,
in the near future begin actual con
struction work on its trolley lines
from Atlanta to Camming and the
Creighton mines. There will be one
line from Atlanta to Alpharetta, where
two lines will diverge to Cumming
and Creighton, To Cumming the
trackage will be. 42 miles and to
Creighton 18 irileB.
Leaving Atlanta the railroad wifi
follow the course of the Peachtree
road to Roswell, from where it will
go to Alpharetta The road will cost
something like a million dollars.
Tuberculosis Sunday.
Atlanta, Ga.—Sunday, April 24, will
probably be set aside in Georgia and
all over the United States as anti-tu¬
berculosis Sunday, at which time
practiealiy every preacher in the
country will deliver a sermon on the
dangers of tuberculosis.
The request of the national society
about a proclamation declaring Sun
day, April 24, Anti Tuberculosis Sun¬
day’, has been members taken up of by the Governoi local
Brown with so¬
ciety and he will decide within the
next few days whether it is within
his province to issue such a proclama¬
tion.

Government Tells How to Destroy Peach
Brown Rot
■Washington, D. C—A remedy for
the “peach brown rot,’’ which is re¬
cognized as a most destructive enemy
of stone fruits, is being advocated by
the department of agriculture, and a
bulletin describing remedy and meth¬
od of preparation has just been is¬
sued.
The peach brow rot is a fungous
disease, and it is widespread, and
very destructive to the peach crop.
The loss which it inflicts on peach
growers will easily average' $5,000,000
yearly. The loss to the peach crop of
Georgia alone is estimated at several
hundred thousand dollars a year.
.uucu wora has been done with a
view to discovering a satisfactory
remedy for this trouble. Spraying
with diluted Bordeaux mixture has
been most commonly recommended,
but its injury to the foilage has made
it unsatisfactory, since the remedy
must be applied during the growing
season.
The peach scab (often called
"black spot”) is another disease
which seriously effects the peach
crop In all sections east of the Rocky
Mountains, although not causing such
serious losses as brown rot.
As the result of experimental work
by the United States department of
agriculture a cheap and simple rem¬
edy for thi3 disease has been founu
in the self-boiled lime-sulphur wash.
This can be applied during the grow¬
ing season with very little danger ot
injuring the fruit or foilage, and ft
is very effective. Furthermore, by
mixing arsenate of lead with the fun¬
gicide, the curcuillc can be destroyed
at the same time.
Georgia News in Paragraghs.
John D. Rockefeller has donated
$50,000 to the Georgia School of Tech¬
nology in Atlanta. The gift is condi¬
tioned upon the school raising an ad¬
ditional $25,000 In cash.
Representative Lee has introduced
in congress a bill to authorize the ad¬
jutant general of Georgia to reim¬
burse the military fund of the state
in the sum of $4,817.48 for expense
of transportation of a portion of the
state troops to and from the military
encampment at Chickamauga park,
held two years ago, out of govern¬
ment funds in the hands of the ad¬
jutant general.
Commissioner of Agriculture T. O.
Hudson sounded a warning note to
farmers and merchants when he de
dared that sufficient care is not being
exercised in the purchase of corn
that is shipped into this state, ‘We
have recently seized about 15 car
loads of damaged corn,” said Mr.
Hudson, “and there will bo more of
it confiscated unless greater care is
used. We cannot allow the sale ol
damaged corn in the state, for it is
a menace to the health aud life of
people and live stock, and every
farmer and every merchant who buys
corn shipped into the state should
make careful observation to see that
it is not damagea.
The mayor and city council have
ordered a general spring cleaning for
Katonton. An especial war is an¬
nounced on mosquitoes and flies and
Eatonton expects to begin the sum¬
mer months with a clean bill of
health, as there are each year quite
a large number of summer visitors
and boarders in the city. The ladies
as usual are among the leaders and
heartiest workers in the movement.
The farmers of Houston county
held a meeting at Perry to formulate
plaus to govern a contest for premi
um acres of corn in the couniy this
season. They will offer three prizes
for first, second and third largest
yields of corn from the acre. The pre¬
mium fund amounts to $400, 50 per
cent to be offered for first prize, 3y
per cent for the second prize and 20
per cent for the third prize.
Conservative, well-posted public
men estimate that the census returns
for 1910 will give Macon a popula¬
tion of not less than sixty thousand.
Within the last two weeks more than
twenty thousand people have been
brought within the city limits by an
nexation, and about five thousand
more will be added if the East Ma
con election is carried, in 1900 the
population of Macon was given as
twenty-three thousand. It is certr'n
that the 1910 figures will show teat
the city has more than doubled In
size in ten years.
A state commission of roads and
highways! A proposition completely
to reorganize the present county plan
of working the state’s prisoners on
the reads has been suggested by a
state official. With Georgia's ' live
thousand convicts, large camps
should be created for every group of
three counties in the state thorough¬
ly to work all the roads leading from
the county seats. These camps could
ne maintained at far less cost than
small camps are now costing the
counties, it is pointed out The roads
and highways commission could nui
out a system and plans for working
the thoroughfares in an intelligent
and systematic way. Wqrk would be,
going on ail over the state at the
same time and in everj county aline
and all working toward the same end
—building good roads on the main
highways.
“The peach crop is uninjured up
to date,” said State Entomologist E.
L. Worsham, in discussing the recent
fall in the temperature. “Although
the peach blooms era rather far ad¬
vanced for this time of year on ac¬
count of the unusually warm weather,
they have not been injured by tl.
cold wave that followed. The blooms
have been thoroughly dried out by
the wind and the drop in the temper¬
ature did not affect them.”
“When Burke county voted for a
county-wide local tax the other day.
the twenty-first county was added to
the list of those who have declared
themselves for the advancement ol
education,” said State School Com¬
missioner Pound. Commissioner
Pound says he’s gratified extremely
to see Burke county in line, and
hopes that before long other counties
will swing in with the procession.
The question of a local tax is one
which is not lightly decided for it
requires a two-thirds majority of all
the voters. The law under which i
is authorized was passed in 1905
C. II. Kyle for the United States
department of agriculture, has leased,
for five years from C. N. Oliver, c
tract of ten acres, on the Oliver farm,
four miles from Augusta, in Carolina,
on the line of the Augusta-Aiken
Electric railway. The purposes of this
station are well known. The govern
ment is to make experiments to im¬
prove the land—to make poor land
productive, to restore it, to show that
one hundred and fifty bushels of corn
can be produced on the acre where
fifty were produced before and to oth¬
erwise demonstrate the value and
worth to the planter of
farming. Details of the results of
the experiments are printed

Your Better Self

HERE is not to very much difference in the intelligence of
people after all. the dull
T The great man is not so great, as folks think, and
man is not quite so stupid as he seems. •
The difference in our estimates of men lies in t'he fact
that one man is able to get his goods into the show win
(low for £oods.
"The soul knows all things, and knowledge is only a re
mom-boring," says Emerson, This seems a very broad state
went, yet the fact remains that the vast majority of men know a thousand
times as much as they are aware of,
in the silent depths of sub consciousness lie myriads of truths, each
awaiting the time when its owner shall cull It forth.
And to utilize these stoied-up thoughts you must express them to others;
and to express them well your soul has to soar into this sub-eonscious realm
where you have cached these net results of experience.
i.ie groat painter forgets all in the presence of his canvas; the writer is
oblivious to his surroundings; the singer finals away on the wings of melody,
ar ,1 cariies the audience with her; the orator pours out his soul for an hoin,
and it seems to hint as if barely five minutes had passed, so wrapped and
lost is he in his exalted theme.
When you reach the heights of sublimity, and are expressing your highest
and best, you are in a partial trance condition, Aud all men who enter this
condition surprise themselves by the quantity of knowledge and the extent of
the insight they possess. And some, going a little deeper Into this trance con¬
dition than others, knowing nothing of the miraculous storing up of truth In
cells of sub-consciousness, jump to the conclusion that their intelligence is be¬
ing guided by a spirit not their own. When an individual reaches this con¬
clusion he begins to wither at the top, for he relies on tlie dead, and ceases
to feed the well-springs of his sub-conscious self.
The mind is a dual affair—objective and subjective, The objective nnnd
secs all, hears all, reasons things out. The subjective mind stores up and
only gives out when the objective mind sleeps. And as few men ever culti¬
vate the absorbed,, reflective or semi-trance state, where the objective mind
rests, they never really call on their sub-conscious treasury for its stores. 1 hey
are always self-conscious. possession oi
But what think you is necessary before a person comes into
his sub-conseieus treasures? Well. I’ll tell yen: It is not ease, nor prosperity,
nor requited love, nor worldly security. “hut
“You sing well,” said the master, impatiently, to his best pupil, you
will never sing divinely until you have given your all for love, and then been
neglected and rejected, am) scorned and beaten, and left for dead. Then, if you
do not exactly die, you will come back, and when the world hears your voice
it will mistake you for an angel and fall at your feet.”
And the moral is, that as long as you are satisfied and comfortable, you
use only the objective mind and live in the world of sense, But let love be
torn front your grasp and flee as a shadow—living only as a memory in a
haunting sense of loss; let death come and the sky shut down over less worth
in the world; or stupid misunderstanding and crushing defeat grind you into
the dust—then you may arise, forgetting time and space and seif, and take re¬
fuge in mansions not made with hands, and find a certain sad, sweet comfort
in the contemplation of treasures stored up where moth and rust do not cor¬
rupt, and where thieves do not break through and steal.
And thus looking out into the Eternal, you forget the present and enter in¬
to the Land of Sub-Consciousness, where yet dwell the gods of ancient and in¬
nocent days.—New York American.

P* Being a Good Neighbor
By Giselle D’Unger
HE spirit of neighborliness is being manifested even by cor¬
porations. The International Harvester Company Is one of
T the large corporations whose endeavor to put that spirit into
action is particularly worthy of notice. It is by no means
the onlv organization of the kind that is carrying on what is
commonly called "welfare” work, but it has its efforts in
this direction well systematized and is constantly seeking
to embody in its own operation practical and helpful ideas
gathered from other sources. The International Harvester
Company, representing, as It does, $120,090,000 of capital, which dispensed, In
one year $21,763,307.95 in pay-roll wages alone, and $16,783,000 in sales com¬
missions,’ has a large field in which to exercise the virtue ot "being a goal
neighbor” to its twenty-eight thousand employes. Mr. Cyrus H. McCormick
has stated that “the employer who wants the people employed in his business
to work under the very best possible conditions as to hours, wages and sur¬
roundings, and who feels happier when he knows this state of things is at
tained; the employe who takes satisfaction In his work, because of the im¬
proved environment and because he knows that, In providing it, the emp oyer
has to grind-these two men can not, in the nature of things, remain at
no ax thebe question but bat the
loggerheads, and, in their co-operation can be no
utmost advantage combs to both.”—The World l'o-Day. f
