Collier, president; r. L. Swatts, vice
president; William Wakefield, secretary;
Louis Tyus, treasurer are the teinpora-
ry officers elected for the Tri-County
Fair association, pending the granting
of the charter for the association by the

probably be made permanent
In the meantime active preparations for
the fair are going on. The time has
been fixed for the week of November ell.
The prmeium list viii be out within a
few days and laready il is known that
the entries will be numerous. The pre-
miums will be quite attractive. The corn
and cotton contests, for men and boys,
will be under the direction of the asso-
citation. GAINESVILLE is in the center OF
the territory and has ample buildings for
accommodating the exhibits and every
advantage is possessed for pulling off a
highly successful event. tt is believed
that it will be of great educational value
to the people of this section of the state.

SECURE BETTER RATES
Fight in South Carolina Was
Settled by Compromise Out
of Courts

GREENVILLE, s. c., April 1.-Accord-
ing to a statement tonight by Lewis w.
Parker, a prominent cotton manufacture
er of this city, the fight between the
cotton mills and the railroads for more
convenient schedule of rates on cotton
piece goods between interior points and
Charleston and through rates to New
York, has been settled by an agreement
out of court.
The statement of Mr. Parker is in eff
feet that the agreement has been reach
ed on two questions. One, in regard to
the through rate from interior points in
South Carolina to New York, is to fix a
maximum rate of As cents per 100 pounds
on piece goods, the roads agreeing to re-
duce to this figure whatever the rate
now exceeds it,
The other question was in regard to
the use of Charleston as a port, and 1t is
regarded that on shipments of goods on
all through rates, a proyiso of stoppage
in transit is made, enabling goods to be
stored in Charleston and distributed from
there without extra charge.
This is similar TO the well-known con-
traction privilege.
This agreement practically ends the
fight which has been made through the
railroad commission of the state. Ware
houses will probably be built in Char
lesion for storing and distributing centers
in the near future.

The state department of agriculture
and the state entomologist are engaged
in important efforts to eradicate disease
that exists in Georgia among live stock
and plants.
one of the most serious problems be-
fore the department of agriculture is
the prevalence of hog cholera. Many
letters are being received from farmers,
asking the cooperation of the state in
the suppression of this disease. In a
letter received Saturday it was said that
many thousands of dollars have been
lost in one section alone during the last
IL months because of the effects of hog
cholera.
The department has found that this
disease can best be fought through a
serum. The state now has no means of
obtaining this serum except by buying
Ii from laboratories in northern cities.
Efforts are being made to have the state
manufacture this serum and furnish 1t
to farmers. The health board has Of
fered to supply the serum, but it is
handicapped by lack of equipment.
When the legislature meets, the depart

ment will probably endeavor to have a
laboratory for the manufacture Of this
serum established at the University of
Georgia.
In addition to its efforts to suppress
hog cholera, the department is endeavor-
ing to eradicate the cattle tick.
The state entomologist is trying to
suppress black root in the cotton fields
in south Georgia before the boil weevil
gets into Georgia. He thinks that the
boil weevil and black root combined
would make an enemy almost too strong
to be met But in his opinion black
root can be eradicated.
A variety of cotton seed has been
propagated that is immune to black root,
and these seed are being distributed by
the department of entomology among
the farmers. IT is estimated that be-
tween 250O and 5000 bushels of these
seed will be distributed before the
planting season is over.
Demonstration farms are being estab-
lished in various parts of the state
where black root exists, for the purpose
of showing the value of the new seed
that have been propagated.

FROM COTTON FIELD TO KITCHEN.

Cottolene comes from the oil of the
nutritious cotton seed. Without touch of
human hands, it flows through the fac
tory from one process to another, and
finally into pals sealed air-tight by
special machines, and protecting the
Cottolene also from dust and odors.
Compare this with most other cooking
fats-naade from hog fat, which is al
ways more or less indigestible, and in
ferior in quality-and marketed in tubs
or loose-covered pals.
From cotton field to kitchen, Cotto-
lene is made with the single aim of puri-

Better Be Ready Than Sorry

Every year finds hundreds of 1 H experts In
grain fields, watching carefully the harvesting
machines at work and interviewing thousands of
farmers, to find, If possible, where H c harvest
ing machines can be improved.
This method of keeping H c harvesting
machines up-to-date-of making them suit every
condition-has been going on year after year for
over half century. That is why H c harvesting
machines get all the grain, whether it IS tall or
short, whether 1t is down and tangled, or standing
straight, whether the land is billy or level. That
is why all the bearings in H G harvesting ma
chimes are easily accessible, so there is no difficulty
in oiling the working parts and giving the machine
the proper attention which it needs. That iswhy,
in a nutshell l H C harvesting machines areright
in every respect.
Also bear in mind that exact duplicates of all
/ II harvesting machine parts are carried in
stock by the Fl c local dealer for your conven-
fence in case of accident or other emergency. And
remember, too, that the H reputation is a
guarantee of qualty--a guarantee of your salts
faction-a guarantee of utmost value.
Why not visit the H c local dealer at once,
while you have plenty of time before the rush
season. Take the step now that will insure for
you quick harvest and full harvest. Look over
your equipment-investigate decide. Don't
overlook the haying machines and tools of those
lines.
Don't experiment with binder Irvine, either.
Get one of seven perfectly dependable brands of
Irvine and be sure. Choose Champion, Mccormick,
Osborne, Deering, Milwaukee, Plano, or Inter-
national-in Sisal, Standard, Manila, and Pure
Manila brands.
If not convenient for you to call on the H c
local dealer at once, or some day this week, be
sure to write for the catalogues you are most in
terested in and any special information desire.

what kind of fertilizer would you sug-
gest7
Rust in cotton is due to one of three
things, namely, a lack of available pot
ash, the need of underdrainage, or a de-
ficiency in vegetable matter. From what
you say your land is fairly well supplied
with vegetable matter, and 1t may be
that the rust is due to low spots in the
field which need underdraining. If this
be true, then an application of potash
Is not likely to give relief Under the
circumstances, we would suggest the use
of a formula on this land which con-
tains 10 per cent of phoshorus, 2 per
cent Of nitrogen and per cent of potash
on the spots which are subject to rust
use an additional amount of potash, say
at the rate of 100 pounds of muriate per
acre. This may be broadcasted and
worked into the soil shortly after plant
ing, or better, put under the drill row.
1t will cause more labor to handle 1t in
this way, but if the rust is due to a
deficiency in potash, the incorporation OF
the material with the soil will be a great
advantage. An application of 500 pounds
per acre will not be too much to use on
this land and formula high in phos-
phorus and otash is recommended on ac-
count of the statement that you secure
a good stalk already, but there is a ten
dency to light fruiting, which would in
dictate the absence of the essential min
eral elements in sufficient quantity to
meet the needs of the growing crop.
THE LARGEST FIELD OF COTTON.
G. II. M, Cypress, Fla, writes: VIII
you please inform me how many pounds
Of lint cotton has ever been produces
on one acre in the state of Georgia In
one year and who produced it? There
are men here who claim that three
bales cannot be made on an acre.
-
1t is impossible for me to say just
how many pounds of lint cotton have
been produced on an acre of land IN
Georgia. Various claims as to the pro-
duction of cotton have been made, vat
whether they are authentic or not, I am
unable to say. Some persons claim to
have raised three and four bales per
acre, but probably these claims we're
not substantiated by an official exam
nation. We have raised two and a
third bales of lint on the college farm
on measured plats where the results
have been most carefully and painstak-
ingIy secured, and if you could see the
photographs which have been taken cf
this plat, you would probably conclude
like many others that 1t represented a
yield of three of four bales. The ac-
tual results, however, are as indicated
above. One can be deceived in the
yield Of cotton or corn, and the only
way to determine a matter of this kind
is to gather and gin the crop from
carefully measured sections of land
There is no doubt in the mind of the
writer that four bales of cotton can be
raised on an acre under exceedingly IA
vorable conditions as to preparation
fertilization, selection of seed and the
cultivation and handling of the crop.
Any who have raised extraordinarily
large yields of cotton and aave any au-
thentic data to bear out their state
ments, or who can throw additional light
on this subject are invited to send COM
munica Cions to these columns for the
information of our readers.
