Hastings: In a middle Ga. county the other day, aa reported in a news story, a f.a<mer'complained about the high prce of hoge. ‘Last week,” said the report, “a B'ink county farmer, who made 15 balea of 11c cotton, complained to thia writer because the price of In ga on the hoof ia ao high—‘out of all reason; enough to break a nr an.’ ia the way be expressed it. A iked, in astonishment, why he, a farmer, should grumble about the , high price of hogs, hie answer was that HE HAD TO BUY THE WINTER SUPPLY OF MEAT FOR HIMSELF AND LARGE FAMILY ” Thia farmer—a tenant farmer, by .the way—had raised a crop of cotton; still be was besot with the problem of FEEDING his family, His problem is Ga’e outstand, irg problem-FEEDING the family. We can’t solve it by raising cot ton, or any other one crop, Ga. must diversify. She must feed herself, Instead of being a con eumer of pork, beef, eggs and dai ry products of the states north and west, where-agronomic and climaic conditions aren’t nearly so propi tious for the production of those c mmodities as they are here, we must produce them at home. Georgia must diversify. Little Billie, the daughter of Mrs. Kate Mae Baggs, was very ill a few days ago. She was here al the home of her grand parents, Judge and Mrs. C. C. Bush. Her mother was cafiei from Atlanta, sad a nurse, Miss Ethel Uowqvt, administered to the little one The Mends of the fami'y aredeiigbtei that the lassie is now convalescing. Mrs. J. M.

Eighteen men 1 from all sections of the County cora peted, and their composite results are of general interest because of the vari ety of conditions under which they ’ were obtained. i It was found, according U the County Agent, that it paid to use at , least 400 to 600 pounds of a high grade fertilizer and that such a fer- > tilizer, with at least two per cent of the Nitrogen “from a quick acting , source like Nitrate of Soda, gave the best results.” Where 200 pounds of Soda together . with 400 pounds of fertilizer were put! under the cotton, “we got an increase' of 163 pounds of lint per acre. 1 “In one case," says the County Agent, “where we used 60 pounds of Nitrate of Soda around cotton after it was chopped, we got an increase of 68 pounds of Hnt cotton per acre at a net . earning of J 12.75 per acre. These tests proved that we need to get more of our nitrogen from a quick acting source.” These results showed that Quick acting Nitrogen set squares earlier and faster and “had a crop set before the dry weather hurt it very much, This is true under dry weather conditions and also under boll weevil conditions.” The weevil question should receive especial attention this year, jn view of ' the fact that infestation is expected to be unusually severe. Successful plant - ers in all parts of the South meet this difficulty each year by putting 100 to 200 pounds of Soda and 200 to 800 pounds of Acid under their cotton, ar d then by applying at first chopping a side dressing of 100 pounds of Soda. .... <«> Church Tidings COLQUITT BAPTIST CHURCH Durward Veazey Cason, Pastor.
