THE GEORGIA STATE FAIR

formity of the ears being very good, IN
dicating that under the pest methods
of practice much larger yields of corn
may be obtained in Georgia than has
generally been believed possible. Very
liberal premiums are offered for county
exhibits, and possibly there is only one
objective TO this plan Of display in that
1t lessons the interest in individual dis
plays. Ii would seem well to emphasize
and encourage individual displays, for
this increases public interest and also
stimulates a rivalry and competition be-
tween individuals which not only adj
vances the interest in the fair, but
makes il more truly representative Of
all sections of the state. Some fine dis
plays of cotton were observed, indicat-
ing the great susceptibility of this plant
for Improvement, not only in the matter
OF yield. but in quality of fiber as well.
The Georgia State College of Agricul-
ture have an exhibit occupying consid-
cradle space. In one end was observed
working dairy which was attracting
much attention. The central section is
given over to an educational exhibit.
and to a display of data and results OBJ
tanned from the college herds and derh-
onstration fields. The other end of the
space was occupied by an exhibit Of
Boys Corn clubs. Something over tw,
hundred samples of corn and cotton
were exhibited In this section. Corn
club contests were organized through the
schools in some ninety-six counties OF
the state last year and there are over
5000 members of these clubs. The GER
titled data accompanying these exhibits
show that many of the boys had raised
over 100 bushels OF corn per acre. or
about seven times the average yield in
the state. The influence of the work or
the bsys on the adult population and on
correlating the work OF the home and
the school is very marked.
There was the usual large and varied
display of farm machinery and motors.
The machinery hall was quite inadequate
to house these displays and many of
them were shown under tents This large
display of farm machinery is to be COM
mended because the use of big plows and
labor-saving implements is revolution
izing our agricultural practice. For
many years the southern farmer used
only surface-working implements Of
rather inferior construction, and one OF
the most hopeful signs of the times As
the widespread interest being taken
in the latest and best-types of macnIp-
cry.
The live stock departments were not
so fully represented as they should be.
The fetch OF corn and cotton has still
too strong a hold upon our farmers, but
a number OF leading spirits are blazing
the way for the development of live
stock Industries on a basis somewhat
commensurate with the needs OF Gec4
gia in the near future, For the frs:

HE PLANTED RICE
AND 1T PAID HIM WELL

MOULTRIE. Ga, Oct. 2s.-Theo, D.
Kline, from Ty Ty district. was in town
last night, Mr. Kline stated that on his
farm this >yeaf he and some Of his ten
ants planted one bushel of rice. That
about all of the cost connected with the
raising of this rice was 81 that the seed
cost, and about $40 or SIS for the work
and fertilizer. He has just threshed his
crop, and has about 100 bushels Of pure
rice. He states that the straw from the
rice to be used as hay is worth the en-
tire cost Of the raising of the rice.
Mr.. Kline states that in his opinion
this is one Of the most profitable crops
that a farmer can raise.

careful investigation and visits to some
of the larger egg farms of the country
he has followed the lead of others
who make the supplying or eggs a spe-
cialty. and has chosen the Single Comb
White Leghorn as the breed from which
he will get the best results. The or
ders for the day old chicks have been
accordingly placed for this breed with
one of the leading breeders.
The place has already some Of the
chicken houses and other buildings
which will be used for the egg farm,
but a number of other houses required,
will be erected as fast as necessity
calls for them. The colony house plan
has been adopted for the farm as the
one best for this section and climate,
rather than the long laying house, pc
culiar TO the egg farms in colder sec
lions, where the laying hens have to be
kept indoors a larger part of the year.
1t is Mr.. McMillans purpose to raise
some OF the feed on the place as soon
as the farm is gotten In running order
He has abundant room for this as well
as for forage crops In the fields where
the layers will run.

of egg production in this section a long
study and is convinced that the OPP

Of his work at Cattle Park will demon
strate the correctness of his ideas.
There are several others who have
been working along the same lines as
Mr. Mcmillan. who are contemplating
establishing farms for the production
of poultry and eggs, and the venture
of Mr.. Mcmillan will be watched with
interest
Mr. Mcmillan win. not allow the es-
adjustment of his country plant to
interfere with his lumber business,
but will carry this on as In the past.

SAVANNAH, Ca, Oct. 2S.-With the
announcement by Vice President ]. o..
Mcmillan. of the Savannah Poultry and
Live Stock Association, OF plans to es-
tablish a commercial egg farm In this
county, comes a demonstration OF one
Of the larger practical results Of the
formation of the association.
Ar. Mcmillan has leased a place of
IL acres at Cattle Park next to Major
Il. j. Stewards place, with the purpose
of buying 1t and making his home
there. Until That time the place will
be in charge of poultryman and his
family whom Mr.. Mcmillan has engaged
t. superintend the place under Mr.. Nc
Millans direction.
At his farm 1t is Mr.. McMillan's pur-
pose to produce guaranteed eggs for
sale in Savannah and the surrounding
territory for that class OF trade which
desires the highest quality Of fresh
eggs and will pay a premium over the
markets price for them. The eggs pro-
duced on this farm will be gathered
several times each day and every egg
sent out will be stamped with the date
it Is laid. and a speciality will be made
of selling eggs not older tnan one
day. In following out this plan eggs
will be delivered from the farm direct
to the consumer.
Mr.. Mcmillan Will take possession OF
.he place November 1, and will install
there his laying stock, keeping his fan
cy chickens from which he sells eggs
for setting at his place in the city
for the present
Mr.. McMillan's plans do not contem-
plate his beginning the sale OF guaran-
teed eggs on a large scale before next
year, as ne will start the farm with
day old chicks and raise these to ma
turity for his original laying stock.
Arrangements have already been made
for the supply Of day old chicks from
which the laying hens for the place
will be raised.

BILE quarters for the display of animals
of practically all classes and the man
agement should remedy this defect as
rapidly as possible. The state should
come to the rescue of the fair associa-

INFORMATION. ABOUT SOY BEANS.
E. T. H., Pelham, Ga, writes. want
to know where 1 can get soy beans. I
want to raise something to feed cows on
in the winter. I have used velvet beans,
but think soy beans would be better.
How should they be cultivated to obtain
best results and what kind of fertilizer
used? De- as
Soy bean seed may be obtained through
your local seed house or from any of
the large seed dealers in the state. They
are a standard article of commerce, and
cost per busheI about the same as cow
cowpeas and also richer in protein or
muscle-building elements. They are not
so readily attacked by the weevil on ac-
count of their hardness as the cowpea
In our experience extending through a
series of years the soy bean has out
yielded the cowpea as grain crop, and
it can be cultivated with success in all
parts of Georgia. provided proper soil
preparation and fertilization are pursued
The soy bean is leguminous crop and
therefore, akin to the cowpea and velvet
bean which you are now cultixating. Any
land on which these crops have
grown successfully should produce
good crops of beans. Soy beans may be
sown in the spring any time after dam
ger of frost lis past. They are quite as
hardy as rcowpeas. They should ordi-
narilyj be sown in drills about "a to SO
inches apart, using three to Eve pecks per
acre. There are number of good varie-
ties on the market, but for quick matu-
rity the Extra Early is one of the best
with which we are acquainted. The Tho
San Yellow is an excellent variety and
the Medium Green and Mammoth Yellow
are good SORTS These are later than the
first two mentioned. On land which will
produce IL to Is bushels Of cowpeas per
acre you Snoulu harvest from ~ TO 70
bushels of soy beans. You may cut the
crop when in the early dough stage for
hay. Soy beans are an upright growing
plant and do not spread or vine like
cowpeas and velvet beans. This makes
them easier to harvest and cure. You
shold bear in mind that the stalks are
coarser and more woody and will not
be so completely eaten up by cattle as
cowpeas or velvet beans. They are an
excellent crop to grow for winter feed
and you should experiment with them on
modest scale next year. A good fer
tilizer for this crop is 500 pounds of a

should be kept well bedded. Overfeed-
ing with rich albuminous food like cot
ton seed meal may cause this result
Indigestion is another cause, also fall
ure to milk the udder thoroughly clean
and dry by careful stripping at each
milking. You should look into any ana
all of these causes to find what pro-
duces the trouble.
So far as curative treatment Is con-
cerned. the careful kneading and rub
bling OF the udder is one of the best
practices to pursue. The work should
be carefully done so as not to irritate
the affected part. Then battle for 20
minutes at a time with hot water, rub
dry and apply an ointment consisting
of one cupful of fresh melted lard and
two tablespoonfuls of gum camphor.
To this may be added one ounce of fluid
extract Of belladonna. These treat
ments should be given three times dali
ly. and If persisted in for a sufficient
length Of time a cure should be eff
fected.
DESTROYING WORMS IN HORSES.

would like to have you give me rem
edy.
One of the best treatments for a
horse affected with worms is as fol-
lows: Feed the animal very lightly for
at least two days before giving any
medicine. Then strong vermifuge
should be given. One of the best things
to use is turpentine in two ounce doses.
The medicine should be diluted with
milk or cotton seed oil so as to pre-
vent it's bhstering the mouth or throat.
This is very important matter to
bear in mind. The dose should be CIV
en- once daily for two or three days IN
succession. and should be followed by
a strong purgative. There Is nothing
better than EPSON salts given in one
to one and a half pound doses as
drench. 1t is important to remember
that the head of the animal should be
held very high to prevent any of the
medicine getting into the lungs. This
treatment for worms in horses is one
of the best with which we are acquaint-
ed. 1t is medicine easily obtained and
the treatment can be given by any one
who exercises a little skill and pa
thence in administering the medicine. 1t
is good policy to give animals affected
