Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1905-04-29

Every farmer or several farmers
combined, should have a breeding plot
or seed patch for the purpose OF i'm
proving the seed. Corn being wind
pollinated plant, the plot should be
isolated, say at least quarter OF a
mile, as this is safe distance to sep
arate varieties to prevent a trouble
some cross-pollination. If possible,
the plot should be located on the same
kind of soil as that in which the Sc
lected seed is to be planted. Let it
be uniform in fertility, drainage, etc.,
so that differences in productiveness
of individual ears can be noted. Choic-
est ears should be planted, one ear
to a row. Have the rows numbered,
and plant by hand so that it may all
be done as nearly alike as possible.
Remove tassels from all feeble, dis
eased, and non-productive stalks be-
fore they shed their pollen. Keep a
record of the yield of the different
rows, and select your ears for next
years seed patch from the rows Civ
ing you the best type sought, with the
greatest yield per acre. Do not ex-
pect too much the first year, for the
varieties of corn grown in Georgia
have never been bred to any particu-
lar type However, you will be sur
prised to find such differences in the
record of individual ears. The fol-
lowing table giving the result of an ex-
pertinent at the Iowa station will give
you some idea of what you may ex-
pect:
Record of Individual Ears.
Bushels per Acre:
rs ears yielded 9056 bushels per
acre; bushels per acre 90.56. SO ears
yielded 1906 bushels per acre; bushels
per acre, 36.06.
Percent of Stand:
II ears gave 965 percent of stand,
bushels per acre, S3.03. 73 ears gave
43 percent of a stand; bushels per acre
1921.
Number Broken Stalks:
81 ears gave 25S broken stalks or "a
percent, bushels per acre, 67.52. IS
ears gave Al broken stalks, or
percent, bushels per acre, 1861.
Number Barren Stalks:
10 ears gave 70 barren stalks or 21.5
percent, bushels per acre, sos; SO ears
GAGE barren stalks or LIS percent,
bushels per acre, 1885.
Number of Suckers.
81 ears gave 106 suckers or 81 per-
cent, bushels per acre, 1898; IS ears
gave no suckers, bushels per acre
90.5S.
Thus you see wide variation in in
dividual ears. The yield ranges from
sc to 80 bushels per acre. The low.
est yield was produced by ear No. Is,
and was due to a low per cent. OF
stand. Ear No 10 gave 21.5 per cent
barren stalks. while ear No. 83 gave
only 15 per cent We notice, too,
wide range in the. number OF broken
stalks and suckers
Suppose you continue to plant, year
after year, the progeny OF such ears
as Nos. Is and 10; can you expect a
good yield? You undoubtedly are do
ing this to some extent every season.

T wish could thank you as you deserve for the great good you are to the South and I wish tho South could recognize your worth.
 If you desire anything from me, do not hesitate to call on mo. I will send you one of the General Passenger Agents dodgers advertising the meet ing. which will be distributed in the towns and cities. I will also dlstrib- ute about 5000 to farmors direct and give about 2.00o more for distribution to those who will place them where they will do good. I hope that the interest will be sufficient to try to work up special trains. at least shall do ev- erything in my power to that end.
 The Southland is a great section I am proud of it. l wish you would ad- wise me further If l can be of any service. Yours truly,

THE SUGAR CANE MEN
GREAT CONVENTION IN MONTGoM-
 FRY ON JANUARY 2S.
Delegates Are Expected from All Cf the Southern States to Partici- pate in an Important
 Meeting.

Widespread attention is being at- tracted to Montgomery throughout the Southern States by reason of the as- sembling here on January 26 of the third annual convention of the Inter- state Sugar Cane Growers.
 The previous sessions of the Sugar Cane men have been held at Macon. Ga. and Jacksonville. Fla, ana nave been largely attended.
 This is the first convention held in Alabama and 1t will provide splendid opportunity for Alabama farmers to acquaint themselves at first hand with the profitable returns from this val uable crop.
 The railroads, through their Immi- grafton and Industrial Departments. are lending every encourag Sment ano aid in the work. President ID. G' Purse of Savannah. Ga, has just re- reived the following letter from G. A. Park of the Louisville and Nash- vile Railroad Company:

THE SUMMER SCHOOL.
Dates for Work at Tuscaloosa Ars
 Fixed.

Ehxeus The Summer School for Teachers, which is how a permanent institution ! of Alaba ma, will be held In Tuscaloosa during the six weeks beginning June
 16 and ending July 2S.'
 Secretary ". F. Feagin. of the State
 Board of Examiners. received the sug- gestion of these dates yesterday from President J. W. Abercrombie. of the State University. and econcurred in them readily.
 This will be the second session of the Summer School. the first having been held last summer in Tuscaloosa. State Superintendent of Education I. ". Hill
 and Examiner Feagin both expressed the view yesterday. that the attendance
 on the Summer School this session will almost double that of 1904. In the lat
 ter year about $50 teachers were pres ent. The Summer School exists by virtue of an act of the last Legislature which provides for an annual appropriation of s5,000 towards it's maintenance. The school Is placed under the control of the University of Alabama Board of Trustees.
 The same act of the Legislature quail flies the appropriation by compelling the President of the University in ev- cry year to raise $2,500 as supple mental sum. No serious trouble is an ticipated on this score, however. Last year over $5.000 or twice the requisite amount was raised outside of the ap propriation.
 The State Board of Examiners for teachers will conduct the examinations on Saturday. July 2s. Monday, July 31, and Tuesday, August l. Under the act
 of the Legislature the Board Is direct ed to conduct at the close of the school
 an examination for the convenience of applicants for teachers certificates.
 This examination is equal In all re- spects to the regular semi-annual ex-
 aminations required by law to be held
 in all counties of the State.
 The teachers who attend the Sum- mer School will have no matriculation or tuition fee to pay. The only charge that can be made is an incidental fee not to exceed 8.
 State Superintendent Hill in his last biennial report, commended the value of the school and told briefly of the success of tho first session. Lectures from noted educators and instruction in the public school duties were given to all the teachers who attend the school. All sessions of the school are held at Tuscaloosa.

nection with the school work, designed

riculture and kindred topics in the pub
lie schools has been planned by County
Superintendent Dickey and Superintend-
ent of City Schools Selleck. This meet
ing will be held in the Lincoln school
building on Saturday, Marcn 18th. AMI
it is urged that teachers and parents
and all who have the welfare of the
schools of the city and county at heart
attend the sessions.
The Importance of this feature of
school work is too generally recognized

gratifying to know that Yakima will
not be behind other localities in taking
it up. Following is the program:
