Unless all signs fail, we will not find
many peaches on the market in 1911, I'M
less they may be shipped from California.
And we are going to miss the fruit! Wat
ermelons and cantaloupes can help very
much, but there is nothing that can take
the place of peaches. The cold snaps In
February and early March have been
quite sufficient to put peaches out of con-
sideration. If peach buds can stand such
blizzard weather, then We can always
raise peaches hereafter. j felt sure that
the warm weather in January would be
fatal to strawberries and peaches. AS
the old saying goes it was "as plain as
the nose on ones face" There are great
many prepared peaches on the market
and in good safe cans. Would 1t not be
well for those who have spare cash to
buy up a quantity before the price is
raised because of the scarcity Of peaches
They keep well in well sealed cans, and
| am satisfied that our readers will con-
slider what am now writing to you about
these canned peaches now in the market
1t is a gloomy thought that we shall be
deprived entirely of this healthful, salts
flying fruit for an entire 12-month.
But it is also quite true that peaches
must be held back by cold weather, OF
they will be killed in every February
blizzard.

chairman of the legislative committee
of the congress
In every address delivered there was
a ring of enthusiasm over the wonder
full possibilities of the state and its fu-
ture prosperity. The principal address
of the meeting was made by Governor
elect Hoke Smith, and he covered the
subject in splendid manner, encourag-
ing and advising the people with respect
to the methods of procedure to bring
about the best results. and laying great
stress upon the great resources OF
Georgia He commended in the strong
est terms the organization of the con-
gress and its object, and stated that
they could count upon his co-operat ton
and outlined some splendid plans in CON
nection with the movement
Governor Smith took occasion to COM
mend the Industrial work of the A. B
and A railroad. impressing his hearers
with the fact that that company is lead
ing other railroads in Georgia IN this
progressive movement He spoke of the
work of the A B. and A. in a most COM
plimentary manner, and in such a way
as TO infuse enthusiasm and encourage
ment into the representative of that
company who was present, and who also
briefly addressed the meeting, outlining
the plans followed by the company.
The congress was a great stimulus TO
those who were present, encouraeipg
them in the great work of development
of Georgia. and daubtless in addition
to its object from the standpoint Of
drainage will prove of great value along
general Industrial lines in Georgia.

The modern farmer is turning his at.
tention to a study of the soil to ascer.
tain its adaptabihty to the production
of certain crops and it's ability to with
stand droughts and chemical changes.
They are beginning to realize the tmpor-
lance of soil knowledge as well as a
knowledge Of crop care. Along with
the study of soils the modern farmer
is devoting his thoughts to soil preser-
vation-the preservation of its natural
fertiIity-and the storing Of moisture to
garry his crops through the growing
season. He realizes that our climate is
cratic and that he cannot always de-
pend upon rain just when it is most
needed. To make up for the difficulty
of precipitation during the growing sea-
son the modern farmer is learning to so
treat the soil as to maintain portion
of it's moisture stored during the win
ter months There is an art in this.
but he has mastered the secret and is
largely INCREASING his yield thereby.
The boys corn clubs have demon
strated the efficacy of the new cultural
methods and the older farmers have
learned a valuable lesson from the boy.
This fulfills the prophecy that "a child
shall lead them
j. w. NELL, director of farmers in
stitutes is making a progressive CAM
paign in behalf of this new agriculture
which has revolutionized thought on the
possibilities of preserving soil moisture.

For the early celery crop in the north
ern states the seed should be sown in
February or March in shallow boxes and
kept in the hotbed or kitchen window.
Seeds are scattered broadcast and a
little sand sifted over them. One ounce
of sand win produce from 5000 to 5000
plants. The seed terminates slowly. re-
quiring from Il to IA days. During this
time the soil should be kept moderately
moist. AS soon as the plants are large
enough they should be set out into other
boxes or the hotbed. putting them an
inch apart in rows three inches apart.
In setting out pinch off a portion of the
top and cut back the roots to induce
stocky growth. The plants should be set
out as soon as the weather permits,
which should be some time in May Set
the plants in rows four feet apart and
six to eight inches distant in the rows
The same care in setting VIII be re-
quired as for cabbage plants.
The stalks may be blanched by setting
up boards along the side of the rows to
exclude the light. Celery requires very
rich soil and an abundance of water.
Well-rotted manure should be placed in
the trench before transplating.

ARE GUINEA HENS PRoFrrABLEq


There is no doubt that if the guinea
hen is properly cared for at all times
that it will prove almost as profitable
as any of the ordinary breeds of chick
ems
Guinea eggs are not always salable
to country merchants because many
people say they are not palatable and
their color is against them, but bakers
are always glad to get guinea eggs be-
cause it is claimed they can be used to
better advantage in cake baking than
any other, excepting duck eggs.
If the eggs can be obtained from
guinea hens that have been confined
for season OF whose ancestors have
been treated as domestic fowls. the
birds will, in time, become almost as
tame as chickens.
When the hens are left out in the
open they make their nests in brush
heaps or out-of-the-way places, and
when their nest is once located they
rarely leave the vicinity, and it is,
therefore, easy to find the nests 1t is
always better to place the eggs under
a chicken hen for Matching unless the
guinea hen has been confined.
Unless the guinea hen is confined she
will take her brood on long journeys
through the damp grass. and many are
likely to die from this cause.
One difficulty about raising guineas
is that the young birds are very easily
killed by mites and lice. They are APP
parently more tender than the chicken
and many will quickly die. particularly
if the big head louise attacks them. The
utmost care as to cleanliness must be
taken if the guineas are raised in con-
lffnenaeDt

DO Nor cnown HEra

1t mas been clearly SHOWN that every
one added to flock. above a certain num-
Der. will diminish the production of eggs
and also the vitality of the fowls. Fowls
do not require much room at night, but
during the day they must be so situat-
ed that they can take exercise and
plenty of it. Watch the hens and you
will see that those that are always on
the go, searching for stray grain and
singing all the while, viii be the ones
that lay the eggs.
1t is equally true that the hens that
stand around in the sun by the side of
the house, waiting to be fed, are the
ones that do not lay and besides. they
will be the first to contract disease that
may sooner or later destroy the whole
flock. Do not tolerate the lazy hen;
like the lazy man, she never amounts
to anything herself-besides, she is a
handicap for the others. If the hens are
idle, it is our fault and ours alone Give
them a place to work and they will
gladly do it, for such is their nature.

The food must, be looked after If We
expect fertile eggs; the mites must be
