Professional Seed Failed.
The farmers varieties of 1907 fell fa:'
below that of 1906, the five highest be-

erage of sixty-two bushels, while the
five lowest were Al, 40, 49, 49, 80, Civ
ing an average of thirty-nine bushels.
This falling off in yield was largely due
to adverse weather conditions. But the
variations in yield were much the same
as in 1906 One of the important feat
ures of the 1907 experiment was the
testing of the seed of seed firms (do-
ing business in this state), against seed
of the farmers. In this case the av-
erage of seed furnished by the seed
firms was forty-fve bushels per acre,

ton the testing was done, writes:
In summing up the three years of
work at the county experiment sta
ton, there are many things of interest
which farmers should study carefully.
First, the farmers varieties in the year
1906 being ninety-six in number gave
a very good idea of the kind of seed
that was being planted on the several
farms in this county. The average Of
all the samples planted was sixty
eight bushels per acre. the five highest
being IS, SO, SO, SO, 81 and giving an
average Of eighty three bushels per

termination Box Proves Out.
Another important feature of the
1907 experiment was the termination
box test. where we bought fifty ears
of a farmer who selected them as
carefully as possible to be sure that
we got his best, for we paid a good
price for them. These fifty ears were
taken to the station and tested in
termination box. The ten highest
yielding ears were placed in one pile,

ty-five and two-fifths per acre with a
cash value on the market that year OF
$40, which is enough to pay the rent
on a farm four years in advance,
which any farmer would positively re-
fuse to do, yet he is willing to suffer
this loss each year thru poor seed and
careless methods.
We have in this county 1855 farm
ers who grow on an average of fifty
acres Of corn each year. The average of
the five highest being eighty-three
bushels per acre, shows the POSSIBLE
ties of the farmers of the county, in
the year 1906. The experiments in tho
year 1906-7-8 show conclusively that

(, The facts are as demonstrated by

merges into disintegration and, as a

The result is that a central heating

Atlanta where he held a conference

General Hart, today gave out a
statement in which he said there

Mr.. Hartridge stated that it was
true thatthe enforcement of the pro-

were discussed at the conference,
but the reports as to the goyern0F'G
attitude in the matter were unfoun-

that the governor had not express

Smith, said MI. Hartride, had had
