of the Soudan. Sir Reginald Wingate
One of the greatest difficulties with
which the pioneers of the Soudan have
had to contend has been the constant
blocking of the natural highway, the
Nile by masses OF weedy growth. COM
monty spoken OF as sudd For a dis
tance of 800 miles the Nile runs
through a huge morass, estimated to
cover $4,000 square miles, which is
known as the sudd district Through
out the length of this reach it is inn
possible to secure fuel OF any kind,
as the river channel has no banks, in
addition to which, during the rainy
season, when gales are frequent, large
masses of sudd break away and block
up the channel rendering it unfit for
and even dangerous to navigation. Lord
Cromer realized what a serious factor
this was in the retardation OF the de-
yelopment of the Soudan, and 1t was

his reports that led German diplomat

OF utilizing this material in the form
OF a cheap local fuel The price of
coal being as high at Cos (Sl6l per
ton, and wood very little cheaper, en-

Negotiations were entered into with
Sir Reginald Wingate, and small CON

the Soudan government to Berlin for
experimental purposes. The results or

the new fuel is nearly two-thirds that
of coal, while tae briquets themselves
have density of four-ffths that of

stated to be comparatively small, and
the use of the fuel in the Soudan
would result in saving Of at least
30 per cent on present fuel accounts. |

HATTIEsBURG. MISS. June s.-Four
persons, a woman. two boys and girl,
lost their lives today In an effort to save
the life Of a little 5-year-old girl, who
had ventured out too far while wading
in Bowie river, two miles north Of here.
The dead:
MRS. B. c. TANNER, wife of B. c.
Tanner, machinist in the Mississippi
Central railroad shops in this city.
ERNEST TA-,-,ER, aged II.
HENRY TANNER, aged 15,sons of
Mrs. Tanner
ANNIE COURSEY, years old. daugh-
ter of j. B. Coursey, local merchant.
The party was attending picnic given
by a Sunday school and left the grounds
to go in wading in the river. The water
was shallow where they went in, but
Pearl Coursey, a sister of the drowned
girl. stepped into deep water and was
about to drown when Mrs. Tanner and
the other victims made a desperate effort
TO reach her. They were swept from their
feet by the swift current and drowned.

The biggest point in favor Of the
Orpingtons is their health. They are

on an average believe that a breeder
can raise more Orpingtons from the

OF any other kind. That, in my judg-
ment, is really an important point in
favor of the birds"

To this end he has a number of tiny
bantam game hens in the pen with an
exceptionally fine Buff Cochin bantam

mixture have already bene raised, and
in number of instances partial success
is shown. The chicks from this pen, in
most instances, have the buff color, are
considerably reduced In size. and all
have the feathered legs of the Cochin.

STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
NEARING CRISIS IN HISTORY
Estate Must Rally to Financial Support the Institution
Fails" Says President SouIe-Legsature Will Be Asked
for Bigger Appropriation to Hold Faculty and Continue
Successful Work

That the Georgia College of Agriculture
is badly in need of more funds, and that
it is losing some of it's best men be-
cause of a lack of funds, is the state
ment made by DR.. Andrew NJ. Soule,
president of the college, in Atlanta, Fri
day DR.. Soule called at the capitol to
talk with some of the state house Off
Gals about conditions at the college. He
discussed with them the need for in
creased appropriation, and declared that
the successful work that the college has
been doing can hardly continue unless
the state rallies to the support of the
institution.
DR.. Soule pointed out that within the
last u months of the colleges ablest
professors have left the faculty because
they were offered more remunerative po-
sitions elsewhere.
1.-The loss of these instructors has
crippled us considerably" said he. 1--WE
must have more money from the state
to keep our men with us and to con-
tinue the work that the college has been
doing in training the farmers and farm
ers' sons of Georgia. We will ask the
approaching legislature for $4,000 for ex-
tension work, and we must have $4,000
for maintenance. Unless we secure
more help from the legislature, the in
stitution will undoubtedly disintegrate."
A pamphlet has been prepared, setting
forth some phases of the work at the
college and stressing it's emphatic ad-
vantages. This pamphlet is about to be
given a wide distribution, in order that
the state and its lawmakers may have
opportunity to familiarize themselves
with the work being done at the college
before the crisis in the latter's fate
comes up for settlement one way or the
other.
This pamphlet sets forth that the
courses at the college serve the interest
of every class of citizens who are in
terested in agricultural dvelopment-that
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1911-06-13

those courses provide a liberal educa-
ton leavened with fundamental scien-
tific training and technical knowledge.
Each trained man in agriculture is
worth $4,000 to the state is one of the
forceful points in the argument of the
pamphlet. The plan of instruction in
cludes the class room, the laboratory,
and the fields Of the college farm. 1t
says that the need for educated leaders
in agriculture is apparent everywhere.
Greater progress has been made in
developing the college of agriculture in
Georgia in three years than has been
made in some other states in Is years.
The college is entitled to a part
of the credit for raising Georgia from
tenth to fourth place in agricultural pro-
duction."
The pamphlet tells of the increasing
attendance at the college, the equipme mt
and facilities for training that are pro-
vided there, the extension teaching and
demonstration work, the enviable record
of the extension work in reaching over
500, coo people in person; of Georgia Stead
ing position in extension work PREACHING
the farmer at his own home); some con-
crete illustrations of the value of the
service that the college is rendering; the
boil weeviPs coming, and preparations
that must be made for it; the needs OF
the college, the work proposed, the es-
sential necessity for soil survey, the
necessity for stimulating livestock pro-
duction, and it concludes with this par
agraph:
''The promotion of the activities of the
college through student instruction at
Athens, and through extension activi-
ties, means increasing the efficiency of
the individual farmer, doubling. treb-
ling, and quadrupling his earning capac-
ity, and establishing a permanent system
of agriculture. Can the state afford to
neglect the re-direction of its most fun
damental ndustry-agriculture?

longevity, is a product of a mountain
farm near Dahlonega, and is the prop
erty of W. o. Reese. who lives wlth
Mr.. Simmonss and who wouldn't part
with her for any amount of money.
Mr.. Simmons believes that 10 is the
Oldest hen,in Georgia if not in the world.
At any rate he has never heard of a hen
of her years. For the past IL years Jo-
