,TuRAL BULLETINS TO HIS
CONSTITUENTS.
Georgia Statesman Is Doing All He
Can to Put Farmers Bulletins
Where They Will Do Most
Good.

Washington, D. c., September.-Com
paratively few persons know of the
vast fund of information to be found
in the Farmers Bulletins issued by
the Department of Agriculture. Yet
there is scarcely farmer, no matter
how progressive he may be, who
would not get new ideas and new in,
spiration by reading these Bulletins
and other publications Of the Depart
ment.
These little pamphlets cover near
ly four hundred subjects and are the
results of experiments and practical
operations on farms in all parts of
the country. The Department care
fully watches all sections and studies
all the various conditions of soil and
climate. 1t has made a wonderfully
successful fight against the Mexican
Boil Weevil and recently issued a
new edition of the pamphlet on the
Boil Weeyil. Senator Hoke Smith
got busy and obtained from the Sena.
tors in many of the Northern and
Western States their quota of these
pamphlets to be used in addition to
his own in Georgia, where the Boil
Weevil is expected to appear in the
near future. The Weeyil will cost
the farmers millions of dollars and
the sooner they prepare for the fight
the less they will lose. Senator
Smith wants the farmers to send for
these Bulletins and study them.
They consist of 200 pages and are
fully illustrated
The Senator is doing all he can
to put the various kinds of Farmers
Bulletins where they will do the most
good. A postal card addressed to him
will bring a Farmers Bulletin on al
most any subject.
Take poultry, for instance. There
are several bulletins ON that subject.
There are several on corn raising
and seed selection, several on hog
raising, several on the dairy and but
ter making, and others on gardening,
household economics, renovation of
wornout soils, fertilizers, and hun
dreds of other subjects.
AS many as five or six Bulletins
can be sent to one person. The sup
ply is not unlimited and only those
of real interest should be requested.
In sending for them the number OF
the Bulletin should be given.
