To all our farmers We would say, if
you have not already done so, begin
at once the raising OF al needed home
supplies. See first Of all that you
make at home what you viii put upon
your table or furnish to your stock.
When you have secured this result,
sitter thorough preparation and fer,
tiuzarion put surplus land into cotton,
eudeayoring by the use of the best
modern Implements and the most i'm
proved methods of cultivation to in
crease the productiyeness Of your
land.
With all the money kept at home
that used to go for the purchase of
western flour, corn and meat, what
ever price yoar cotton may bring, its
sale viii be that much money for your
pocket or Tor your bank deposit.
Stand true to tho business methods
that brought YOU prosperity last year,
and The new year will increase that
prosperity.
That all our farmers may stand to-
Eether for good business methods and
that the year 1906 may be to them
one of great prosperity and happiness
is the wish of the Georgia Department

Cotton Letter.

Americug, Ca, Feb. 28.-No matter
what the epeculstor may think, it is
certain the consumer considers present
prices safe. This is shown by good
demand at Liverpool, as by the heavy
calls on cotton market made during the
recent Ibreaks. One of the effects of
these heavy calls is visible in the de-
mand here for the good grades in our
local stock. For month past atten.
tion has been directed to this market,
owing to the accumulation of about
130, 600 bales of high grade cotton.
But the forced liquidation at South.
ern points of the cotton held by over
enthusiastic bulls furnished spinners
and exporters with a steady supply.
AS soon as the market began to rally,
che stream was damned up and exports
from the South and offerings from
the South have dropped off,
In view of the calls which exporters
are cow obliged to meet, there was
nothing left when Southern offerings
failed them except to come to the only
market where they could fud seIec-
tions OF The kind required. namely New
York It is ie not surprising to find de-
maud here and competition between
big exporting houses, with the result
that the premium over future markets
has been raised.
1t is figured that fully 25, 600 bales of
our local stocks has changed hands
within the past few days With good
prices, aud the present demand for
freight room is an evidence that it will
soon be shipped out, thus bringing the

IS HEAD OF SYSTEM
OF LINES IN STATE.
Mr.. Williams to Conso idate
Roads.
AT LEAST SUCH THE REPORT
Many Independent Small Lines In
Georgia May Be Organized into Big
System BY the Former President of
SeaboaFd Airline.

Interest has been aroused in Amer
icus quite recently by the report that
John SHELTON Williams was endeayor-
ing to again get control of the Seaboard
Airline, aud while this rumor is au-
thositativeIy denied it is true that the
former president of the Seaboard is
again to become an important factor, 1t
seems. in railway circles in the state.
Recently, it is said, Mr.. WlIliame
and bis associates purchased the
Douglas, Augusta aud Gulf, small
but independent line and one which
may be developed into largesystem.
He is also negotiating the purchase
of the Millen & Southwestern and the
VaIdosta Southern. rhe former ex-
tends from Mjllen. on the Central, 10
VldaIie, on the Seaboard, and the lat
ter from VaIdosts to Madison, Fla.
The ronte from Madison would be q
connecting link TO Perry, to TalIahas-
see by the Florida Transit Line and
from Tallahassee to Apalschicols by
the George, Florida & Alabama.
A study of the map will convince one
that the territory through which the
line would pass might afford s.nce.lt
tributary contributor sufficient reven-
ne to make the investment profitable.
Reports are prevalent that the Daris
en- and Western, which is reaching
out for connecting transportation prop
critics, is to join the pool and that the
Atlantic and Birmingham Is also fig
uring on agreement with the suppose
tlous trunk line.
The line would, according 10 specu-
Istion, be composed of the Augusta and
Florida between Midwife and Keys
viIIes tracksge rights with the Georgia
Railroad into Augusts, the StlIlmore
Air Line, the MiIlen and South est
ern, link to be constructed between
Vidalis and Hazslhurst, the Ocilla and
VaIdosta, Douglas and OciIIa. Dou-
glas, Augusta and Gulf, the Valdosta
and Southern.
All the lines enumerated are small
independent lines, and while each is
said to be paying upon independent
operation, it is understood that the
owners could be persuaded to sell. It
IS not difficult to calculate that the ex-
pense of operation of ell as trunk
line could be materially reduced, and
the earning power increased by con-
solidation.

HOLDEN STARTS Y.
ON ANOTHER TOUR
IOWA COLLEGE MAN WILL TEACH
THE FARMERS
Campaign to Make Stalk of Corn
Grow Where There Was None Before
Three Bearing Stalks to the Hill
Wanted-Holden to Give Entire Time
to College Extension Work.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
! Webster City, Iowa, July 5.-Professor P G.
Holden Of the state agricultural college at Ames
will start out this month to increase the yield
OF corn In Iowa by 100000 bushels His eff
forts will be made under the college extension
department, for which the last legislature ap-
prOpriated $35,OOO - ? 5@,"3I~'@0
Professor Holden the originator Of the
gospel seed corn train which toured Iowa last
winter and the winter before, spreading informa-
ton among the farmers as to the selection and
care OF their seed corn. Last year about 8, OOO,-
600 acres of corn were grown In Iowa, and tho
average yield was thirty-six bushels. The year
before 1t was thirty-two bushels. This average
yield means but two bearing stalks to the hill.
Professor Holden believes that by the proper
| selection of seed corn a stand Of corn can be
secured that will grow three bearing stalks to
the hill. This, Of course, would add one third
to the yield OF the state. Since the lectures of
Professor Holden and his trips over the state in
his special seed corn gospel trains, the yield
Of corn has been steadily increased. :.
Beginning this month, Professor Holden leaves
| the agronomy department of the state agricultu-
! raj college. He will devote his entire time to
the college extension work, which means that he
Is to change from teaching farmer boys in the
college to teaching the farmer and his boy d.
| rect on the farm He believes that a great deal
can be added to the increase of the yield of corn
next year by the dissemination of informa ton
this year as to how to select seed corn. He
believes that 1t is only q question Of time until
a perfect stand of corn, that is, three perfect
bearing stalks to the hill, with three full
sized ears Of corn will be secured. =
The acreage of corn this year is 9433 900
| acres, and to add the 5000, 900 bushels which
Professor Holden has set out to do, it will only
be necessary to increase the yield trihe over
half bushel acre. To make an increase
| from the present acreage with its average of
two stalks to the hil to a perfect stand of three
| stalks to the hill. would mean an increase of
about Ito, o0o, 900 bushels. Professor Holden,
| therefore, thinks that his proposed increase of
| 100000 bushels is very conservative figure
To accomplish this he has planned to go into
every section Of the state and to reach prac.
ticaly every farmer from year to year, until he
has his seed corn theories thoroly inculcated.
