KILL ANTHRAcNosE BY RoTA
TlON.
BY r. J. H. CeLoach, Professor Cotton
Industry.

Question-Will deep blowing and
turning under cotton stalks Kill out
anthracnose of cotton?
No. Rotation or abandonment OF
the infected field for a period OF
three years, alone is successful. Ii
you intend to take chances and re
plant cotton on the same ground,
clear off the stalks and burn them, es-
pecially if badly infected.
Selection of Seed and Anthracnose.
Question-Should seed be selected
from field where anthracnose has ap-
peared?
Seeds can carry the spores of an
thracnose to new fields. Care should
be taken to select seed from stalks
not close to those which have been
attacked. 1t is probable that seed
of plants taken from near those
which have been attacked, but which
have shown power of resistance to
the disease, are the most to be desir-
ed, but until complete scientific data
has been secured on the subject, it Is
better to avoid the appearance of the
disease as far as possible.

TechnicallError Likely
End 100000 Suit

Macon, Ca, Nov. because
of an illegality in the filing of the
suits against the stockholders OF
the Exchange bank, it is likely
that this 100000 litigation will
be dismissed at the present term
of Bibb superior court.
The suits were recently lnstl-
tuted by the receivers on behalf
of the creditors, and were given
to the clerk of the court on Aug.
%, with the instructions to with
hold service until notified. & He
was notified on October 26, and
then the suits were served, bear
ing the August date. This is said
to be technically at variance with
the law, and as a result the suits
must be dismissed.

SOW OATS IN NOVEMBER
BY President Andrew M. SouIe. .

The State College of Agriculture
has been able to raise forty bushels
of oats per acre on land devoted to
cotton the previous year, and follow
with a crop of cow-peas, thus produc-
ing an abundance of grain and hay
for live stock during the succeeding
fall and winter. If one has area
enough he can plant part for grain
and part for hay. To grow hay, mix
about 80 pounds of hairy vetch with
five or eight pecks of oats. This

GEoRGIA'S ECONOMICAL DAIRY
FEED.
BY M. P. flanagan, Professor of AMI
NAL Husbandry.

BY M. P. flanagan, Professor of Ami
NAL Husbandry.
Question-What is the most eco
nomical and valuable ration for a dai
ry COW that can be grown in Georgia ?
Cotton seed meal and oats as a
grain ration, silage with pea-vine hay
oats, straw Or corn stover for rough
age. Generally speaking a pound OF
grain should be fed for every gallon
OF milk. Five pounds of cotton seed
meal and three pounds of threshed
oats is the proper proportion of each
when they alone are used for the
grain food. For roughage, 40 pounds
of silage for every 1000 pounds of
live weight supplemented with pea
vine, hay, oats, straw or corn stover
in quantities that the cows require

Question-What profit can be oh,
tanned from the best and most eco.

onstrated on its own farm and with
its own herd, that milk can be pro.
duced at 5.97 cents per gallon feed
case. This is practically cents a
gallon. The College finds a ready
market at 40 cents per gallon.
Value of Mules From Heavy Stock.
Question-What would be the aver
age value of a mule from a Percher-
on mare or other heavy draft stock
as compared with a mule from the or
binary light mare?
From $40 to $45 and the work he
would do in excess of the light mule
would be worth more than that each
year.

Produce Guinea Pigs With

Philadelphia, Pa.-Following up the

the Rockefeller institute in New York,
Psychologists Of the University of
Pennsylvania have completed series
Of tests which are amazing. Il II 2
The scientists have found It is i'm
possible to produce animal life artifi-
cially. The work is still in the expert
mental stage, but female guinea pigs
have been impregnated by an artificial
solution, Stimulating the normal animal
secretion, and from this there has
been produced the true animal embryo
which has grown to normal size and
been born as the result of this treat
-ment Ne
It was found solution of water, 80
per cent, salts IL per cent, and an acid
similar to the malic acid that is found
In certain forms of vegetable life,
would cause human tissues to grow.
When the fact was established, then
the men Of science were ready to pro-
coed with their comparative animal
tests.
Several female guinea pigs were
isolated so as to preclude the possi-
bility of their impregnation by natural
methods. This solution was injected
and three Of the animals gave birth to
guinea pigs, but they were consider
ably smaller than those born in the
natural way. Two Of these artificially
produced pigs died, but one is still
living.

to be the tombs of people of an an

The bodies had been embalmed in
the same manner as the Egyptian
mummies, and the tombs contained,
many statues and idols of immense
interest in historic anthropology. One
tomb contained the mummif1ed re-
mains of a princess IN an excellent
state of preservation. The body was
found in sitting posture, with the
feet drawn up under the thigh and
the hands folded across the breast.
The body was wrapped In long cloth

woven pictorial and hieroglyphical de-
signs. The body was adorned with
a heavy gold breast plate, necklace,
wristlets and anklets, and carried un-
der each arm a golden vase. One of

Had Thrilling Experience When He
Ventured Back Of Waters to Ad. r
mIre the Dim Yelled Grandeur -
Of the View.

Mr.. Muir tells of an exciting ad-
venture that once came unexpectedly
to him when he was enjoying the
Yosemite fall by moonlight.
"A wild scene but not a safe one,"
he says, "is made by the moon as it
appears through the edge of the
Yosemite fall when one is behind it.
Once after enjoying the night song
Of the waters and watching the forma-
ton of the colored bow as the moon
came around the domes and sent her
beams into the wild uproar ventured
out on the narrow bench that extends
back of the fall from Fern Lodge and
began to admire the dim yelled
grandeur Of the view.
Il could see the fine gauzy threads
of the falls flmy border by having
the light in front, and, wishing to
look at the moon through the meshes
of some Of the denser portions of the
fall, l ventured to creep further be-
hind it while it was gently wind
swayed without taking sufficient
thought about the consequences of it's
swaying back to it's natural position
after the wind pressure should be
removed.
Il was in fairyland between the
dark wall and the wild throng of
illumined waters, but suffered sudden
disenchantment, for, like the witch
scene in 'Alloway Kirk in an instant
all was dark Down came a dash
of spent comets, thin and harmless
looking in the distance, but they felt
desperately solid and stony when they

I gripped an angle of the rock, curled

which cacao growing for export is an established

Ia may be .prophesied that the time is coming
when the supply Of cacao will not equal the de-
mand. While there untouched areas in Latin
America, in Africa and the East Indies, yet this
area is rather sharply defined and by nature linn.

by merely looking at the map, for the climatic
factors Of temperature and humidity must be
favorable, else the tree will not bear for com.
mercial profit, although within few miles of sue
cessful plantations. Probably America has larger
resources Of virgin land than the rest Of the EARTH
and Will always hold the lead in production. This
should surely be the case If improved methods of
cultivation and transportation increase the yield
and the profit from the crop. # - -+a~-.s ...-.
The area for cacao production, as has been stat
ed, is limited, while population is growing at a
rapid rate, and In addition the value of cacao is
becoming recognized with greater clearness each
year. AS Is the case, therefore, with other great
staples Of the world-for cacao must now be con.
sidered agricultural staple-like meat, wheat,
corn and cotton, the price is slowly rising as
larger food supply must be gathered for the
worlds needs. By the middle of the century the
result may be expected that the supp]yfwill be az
proportionately meager in relation to population
as it at present appears to be ample.

AS an inhabitant of the polar re-

SO much sugar is carried from the

necessity. It explains also why the
manufacturers of cacao and the
