Educated Farmers.
American Agricultural.


Many farmers make a practice of polk
ing fun at the scientific farming done at
the experimental stations. They call 1t
s'book farming" white shirt farming
and other equally significant names to In
dictate that a man who has been brought
UP on the farm knows all there is to be
known about the business, and that no
man who goes into the business on such
a small scale as does the professor at the
experiment farm can tell them things they
do not know about their work. 1t is hui
man that it should be so. The Chinese
look upon the attempts of the western
world to "civilize' them in the same
light, but that does not alter the facts
that in each case the parties are laboring
under a mistake. There is no industry
under the sun That is more complicated
than farming. The diversity of interests,
the number of different things that the
farmer is expected to know, the number
of irons that he has in the fire. call for
a vast amount of knowledge on his part
if he would make no mistakes. 1t is true
that a man may farm all his life, make
a living and die respectable without hav-
ing fitted himself by special education for
his business. All that signifies is that he
has chosen a very lucrative occupation or
ne would have become bankrupt. 1t does
not show that he would not have made
more money If he had been better fitted to
conduct the work he had before him.
The fact that some farmers have better
success with their cattle than others is
not a piece of luck, but because of better
management. 1t may be that the success
full feeder and breeder did not learn his
methods in an agricultural school, but 1t
does show that he had better methods
than the man who raised nothing but
scrubs. The man who always raises
good crop, year after year. while his
neighbors with just as good soil and other
things equal, fails every two or three
years TO raise half a crop and never
raises as good yields as the good farmer
may not be a college graduate, but he
has methods that the others have not
learned. These things show that there are
better methods than the ordinary farmer
uses.

the Journal OF Monday evening. January

In one ton OF fertilizer you say there is

OF potash. 30 pounds of nitrogen. The
other l.720 pounds is filler. Now / want
TO know can / get the 200 pounds of
phosphOric acid. 40 pounds of potash. 40
pounds Of nitrogen. Then haul 1,72O
pounds OF sand. then mix all together
on good floor and have a ton of good
fertilizer.
or can I put the three different in
gradients in 1.720 pounds OF stable manure
and mix IL up. will that make a better
fertilizer for corn and cotton on red clay
land?
Is air Stacked lime good for the land; If
so what part does it %? Is air Stacked

they contain are natural. that is. placed

OTHER PEOPLES VIEWS.
ANoTHER SUGGESTION
ABOUT DEPOT PROBLEM

Editor Journal:
The depot business has been ludicrous
all the way through. In the first place,
the state of Georgia has made a fool OF
itself for trying to force the railroads to
build a house on the states property. The
very idea of such thing is ridiculous. OF
course. the railroads can be %prced to
repair the old shed. but nothing more.
Now the state proposes to have the rail-
roads to pull out $4,000 or $4,000 per an
mum more to pay for depot facilities. Why,
Of course. they won't do lit. They have
rented the Western and Atlantic road
with depot facilities, and 1t is the states
duty to put on the property a suitable
depot, and the railroads have right TO
demand it, without any more expense Or
course, our governor had no reply TO the
notices sent out to the railroads, and he
won't get any. AS stated before, 1t Is the
duty of the state of Georgia to give the
Western and Atlantic a depot in keeping
with the city. This can be done on the
ground floor by covering all the space
from Lloyd to Forsyth.
The state possibly may then arrange with
the railroads that they pay extra for any
space they occupy above the ground floor.
The state will, of course. want to carry
the building up ten or twelve stories high,
and the frontage on Whitehall, Broad ana
Forsyth street bridges and the upper sto-
ries will pay the state handsome income,
not less than 10 per cent. No doubt the
railroads would take up half the building
for offices.
The state has a frontage on Whitehall.
Broad and Forsyth street bridges of at
least 900 feet which would readily bring
1850 per front foot, worth at the least
calculation $1,OOO.OOO. No doubt the rail-
roads would use all the space of the sec
ond floor, not otherwise used as store
rooms, for waiting rooms, etc. Such ar
rangement as this no doubt would be ac-
ceptible to the railroads and profitable to
the state. This would incur an expense Of
about $10O0,O00 to the state of Georgia.
This property is right in the heart of the
city, and any space not occupied by rail-
roads would rent readily at a good price.
Yours truly, ]. X. MCCALL.

1t would be greatly to the advantage Of
farmers if they. would organize local asso-
Citations in every rural neighborhood. OF
course, they will not do So There is no
reason why they ought not to, but many
reasons why they will not. No public en-
terprise is ever inaugurated without at
least one leader land in many places there
is no man ready TO say, Come on, boys"
and then go ahead. Generally, all that is
necessary is for one or two or more farm
ers to desire such an organization and to
begin by talking about II. A little well
directed talk will generally prove conta-
gious and develop the one thing needful,
to-wit, a leader-a man who has energy
to begin with. The necessary enthusiasm
can then be worked up later. In any
neighborhood where there Is one man who
desires an organization for mutual bene-
fit, and who will ride around and talk to
his neighbors on the subject practical
working organization can be secured. The
writer has participated in more than one
such enterprise, and in each case much
good resulted. and one of these organiza-
lions has existed since 1880, and that
neighborhood and another in the same
county under a similar organization have
become the most prosperous in that sec
ton; and. 10 begin with, there was a vast
expanse of room for Improvement. Such
associations, properly managed can be
made more beneficial in their sphere than
the more prominent county or district as
sociations. The field of their operations be-
ing small. ii can be better cultivated. Such
organizations can not only meet to dis
cuss methods and make all the knowledge
of all the members common property, but
they can, by concert of action, make their
influence felt where II will do the most
good. They can cooperate in buying
seeds, plants, nursery stock, fine breeding
animals and labor-saving implements be-
yond the reach of the members individu-
ally. They can secure concert of action in
all measures affecting their interests as
farmers. Many of our most profitable
crops are Improbable unless grown in
sufficient quantities to attract buyers.
creamery cannot be successfully operated
unless there is concerted action on the
part of the patrons. Cotton gins mills,
roads and bridges, transportation compa-
MES, schools and schOolhouses, markets
and marketing as well as agricultural
methods are proper subjects to be han
died by local farmers organizations. The

Many farmers fail to make their labor
profitable because they do not work sys-
tematically. While they recognize the i'm
portance of system in any other business,
they practically deny II in their own. Very
few farmers keep any record Of their OPP
erations by which they may determine the
amount of profit or loss of the years OPP
erations, or of their cattle, hogs or sheep.
If there be a loss, II cannot be located and
amended, but must remain to affect the
future operations. If there be net profit
indicated by palpable assets, its source or
sources cannot be traced up and con-
served. Competition is so sharp these days
that permanent success cannot be reason
ably expected where recognized business
principles are neglected.
