STAY AWAY
FROM OKLAHOMA

Mr.. B. G. Camp, of Floyd county,
Ga, writes to the Rome Tribune
Herald as follows:
81 have just returned from Oklahoma,
and my advice is for everybody to stay
away from there. The country is sickly,
and everybody's house is drug store.
The water is mostly alkali, the air is
impure, and the wind blows constantly,
filling your eyes with sand, snd blow
ing the young crops to death. The
ground is baked by the sun so the young
seed cannot get stand.
So many people have gone out there
recently that the country is over popu-
lated, and there are about six men to
one job. Land that could be bought for
81 30 an acre few years ago is worth
$40, but the price Of labor has dimin-
ished, and a man only gets $50 month
and board.
Wheat is looking fine out there, but
the fly and green bug are hurting it
Land IN Arkansas costs from $40 to $50
an acre. In Mississippi, the cost is
from 81 to $50, and about the same in
Alabama. Farmers are we'll advanced

they are about month behind. Corn

farm on Powder Springs road near Ma

samples of his oat crop. The stalks
were very heavily headed, and measured
five feet, ten inches. He has thirty
acres in oats, and the crop is uniform
and looks like sea of green as it waves
under the breeze. 1t is estimated that
Mr.. Camp will make from Is to LOG
bushels per acre on this land. 1t shows
what good farmer, who understands
his calling, can do on Cobb county land

HE MOST SUITABLE PLACE TO PLANT FALL
W potatoes is after grain when it has been cut
off in June. Thoroughly break the land with
two to four inch scooter, using a right-hand
Johnston Wing set up high not to turn the
stubble The stubble should be thoroughly torn
apart but not turned under. After breaking, run
harrow (either a tooth cut-a-way) over the
sod and either use a roller drag behind the
harrow, making good seed bed. This should
be done early in June, just after the grain is
taken off of the land, SO to allow the land to
mould back together and fill with moisture before
planting. By working the stubble to the topit
will answer as a mulch and preserve the moisture
that has been stored in the soil during the winter
which is very important for large yield of pota-
toes. Any time after the first of July is the
proper time for planting in Middle Georgia.
When ready for planting three or four inch
scooter with two Johnston Wings the guano
distributor to lay the rows off WITH two and one
half to three feet apart Put in at least six hun
dred to one thousand pounds of 1922 guano in
the drill and stir it thoroughly with twoinch
scooter in the open furrow
Cut medium size potato into four parts and
large size into six parts. Have at least two
good eyes each tube which will insure a strong,
stocky plant. small piece of tube will produce
a straight spinning plant which will not make
many potatoes. These potatoes should be cut
few at the time, just enough to plant Immediately
behind the freshly opened burrows. handful
of air-slack lime should be sifted over each bucket
of cut tubes This will heal the cut and keep it
from bleeding and losing its strength They
should be dropped from fourteen to sixteen
inches apart with the eye down, stepping lightly
on each tube to press it next to the moist dirt.
This will enable the tube to start termination at
once, as it unites with the moisture. If turned
with the eye up it will not terminate until a
sufficient rain has packed the dirt closely around
the eye. Summer or fall planted potatoes should
be turned with the eye down next to the cool
moist dirt, but spring planted potato should be
turned with the eye up to get the warmth.
Just opposite from the late and fall plant
ed potatoes. After dropping the potatoes they
should be covered up Immediately with four to
six inches of dirt. If the weather is very dry
and hot it is good idea to roller drag
over the land to hold the moisture in the soil
Examine the potatoes every few days and if you
find they terminating promptly run weeder
harrow them twice by the time they
begin to come through the ground, and as soon
as they are large enough give them good plough
