those acquainted as well as to those

Country Boy" should prove an inter

anpeal of the most vital kind. The
story of "The Country Boy" is that of
a vopth who goes 10 New York to win
fame and fortune. His lack of sue

tations of small town. He leaves
behind charming home, a good moth

GORDON's MAYOR EXTENDS
WELCOME TO FARM TRAIN

GORDON, Ca, March 4.-Being small
town Gordon, first stop Of the train on
Saturday, of course did not turn out a
Friday, but in proportion to it's popula-
ton it gave the train an exceptionally
fine reception. The keynote was real in
terest.
In his address of welcome, Mayor ]. F.
jackson declared that no county in the
state had made more progress and adj
vancement along agricultural lines In the
last five years than Wilkinson. Five
years ago the county didn't have a
bank" said he. I'VE had to go to Macon
to do our banking Now we have three
banks in the county, and our town has
one of them Five years ago there
wasn't a brick house in this town. Now
we have a splendid row of brick stores.
When / came here six years ago they
told me there hadn't been new dwelling
house built in 20 years. Since then 500 900
has been spent for building purposes.
Along agricultural lines we are progress
ing as fast as any county in the state.
Our farmers are getting away from old
ideas and old methods, and they are
making two stalks grow where one grew
before. This is not mere idle talk. It is
In this connection Mayor Jackson also
spoke of the great kaolin deposits found
in the county in the last two or three
years and the industries that have
sprung up as a result. A former citizen
of the county recently came back and
opened the eyes of the farmers when he
told them he was going to spend 100000
on a factory to make paper pulp of a
sticky gum in the swamps that they had
always looked on as a nuisance.
lie crowd at Gordon was thoroughly
representative, and nowhere on the route
of the train has more real interest been
manifested in every feature Of 1t, from
t4e leading address down to the minutest
exhibit There were farmers from all
over the western part of Wilkinson coun-

duplicated in Montgomery county, as
this section of the state is level, with
fertile land
At o'clock the train started on its re-
turn trip to Macon, from which point It
was to go down the Georgia, Southern
and Florida road THURSDAY
President Soule expressed pleasure to-
night at the interest that had been
shown along the Macon, Dublin and
Savannah road today. He considers this
a fertile and coming section of the state
and feels that the interest taken today
in the various agricultural subjects gives
promise of a marked and progressive de-
velopment in the near future for the sec
ton traversed BY the NJ. D. & s. rail-
road. He hopes that the lessons OF d.
versifcation and rotation taught by the
train viii be of benefit TO the farmers
who today went through the exhibits. He
also believes that t0day's work Will be
productive of better mules in Georgia as
many of the farmers seemed deeply in
terested in the large mares carried By
the train.
Commissioner of Agriculture I. J.
Hudson also expressed himself as being
delighted at the interest evinced in this
section and hopes to see great agricul-

INCREASING THE FRUITFULNESS
OF COTTON.
w. C. Y, Centerville. Fla, writes: I
have an acre Of rich land on which I
wish to grow a bale of cotton. What
kind of fertilizer shall I use to make
fruit and hasten maturity?
II you do not think you are securing
enough fruit on your cotton, the best
material to use to correct this defect Is
liberal application OF acid phosphate.
Use at least 300 to 400 pounds of this
material per acre. If you are securing
plenty of weed 2 per cent. of nitrogen
with per cent. of potash will be about
right, with II per cent. of phosphoric
acid. Use this formula at the rate of
600 pounds per acre. Land intended for
cotton should be put in the best possible
state of cultivation, by thoroughly
breaking it and working with disks and
harrows until a fine friable seed bed has
been secured. Use at least 400 pounds
of the fertilizer under the drill row and
200 pounds as a side application some
six weeks after planting. Thorough sur
face cultivation should be maintained
as long as possible. The early laying
by of cotton and corn is to be discour-
aged as the yield is often cut down
materially by such practice.

for grazing hogs, or break IL up and
SOW it in some other crop which will pro-
vide feed for them during a part of the
season. A good Bermuda sod win take
care of itself if left alone. 1t should,
of course. be broken up, say once in
three years to prevent the sod from be-
coming so thick as to reduce the growth.
1t can also be fortified by an applica-
ton Of 1000 pounds OF lime per acre in

40 pounds of a fertilizer containing 5
per cent of phosphoric acid, 2 per cent
of nitrogen and 6 per cent of potash.

you will find a success of cowpeas or

might divide your land into equal areas
and on the first put early maturing cow
peas, medium late maturing cowpeas on
the second, and peanuts on the third.
These crops should all be fortified well
