REASON WHY HARD, DRY SEED
GRAIN is BETTER THAN SHOCK Il
WET OR BIN WET GRAIN.
(By II. L. BoIley,)

One of the most interesting studies
which we have been able to conduct
at the department of botany at the
Agricultural college deals with the re-
lation of wet seed grain tosroot dis.
eases and crop production. Some Of
the results which we have obtained in
our studies are very interesting and
I believe when fully understood will
have marked bearing upon the agri:
culture of the state.
Farmers and experimenters have al.
ways understood that wet; soft grain
is not as desirable for seed for sowing

corn than 1t does 3O-bushel one and
after the cost of production has been
paid, the profits increase in direct
proportion to the increase in yield.
When you have spent time and
money needed to raise an average
corn crop little extra effort will
greatly increase yields and profits.
There are certain fixed or overhead
charges that must. be paid on every
acre of corn raised! They vary com
paratively little whether 20 or so bush

ment Station found that the ffve-year
average cost of growing an acre Of
corn on the series Of selected Mime
sofa farms was sI3.75. This includes
charges for seed, Smelling, plowings

ing, cost OF machinery, rent Of land,
and general expenses. !. Most OF these
items are little or no greater for a

RURAL SCHOOLS SHOULD re
COME SOCIAL cENTERS, SAYS a
MIMI. COLLEGE PROFESSOR. a,

AA~i~t" nH,r TFTty'tH.
The training Of country children to
grow two bushels of corn where one
bushel grew before is commendable
thing. To bring this about many
changes may be made in the programs
F of most country schools. Arithmetic
problems may be worked out in terms
of corn and potatoes and COWS. Read
ing may be largely confined to sub
jects of interest to country boys and
girls. Essays on farm topics may be
written in place Of the usual parsing
and other grammar work. This will
lay q foundation for much practical
work in the later years of school life.
Older students trained in the ele-
iimentary principles Of agriculture could
conduct termination tests Of corn and l
grain. Herds could be tested, rations
could be worked out for live stock, rec
ords could be kept OF poultry, gar
ments could be made for home, and and
the art OF cooking could be cultivated.
These and many other practical things
could be worked out with the school
house as center.
Added to this is the social pleasure
that could be obtained by everyone
in the community when q permanent
interest in the school was established 81

we have had developed a very large
crop Of seed in all Of the cereals, es,
pecially wheat and fax There have
been, however, unfortunate u harvest
conditions almost uniformly through
out the state. Especially the eastl
ern part Of the state rain has followed
rain in such close succession that it
has been difficult for farmers to sue
coed in saving very large percentage
Of the grain without having it sub
jected to moisture and mould .growths
in the manner indicated. There is,
therefore, all the greater reason for
exercising greatest caution with re-
gard to selecting the best, driest, hard
est grain that each farmer has sue
ceeded in producing. Each farmer
should at least save some Of the best
of this grain that he has been able
to save under dry conditions for his
seed for the coming year. Further
more, if any have been fortunate in
saving a considerable amount of, high
quality grain under dry conditions
they will prove benefactors to their
neighbors and to the state at large
if they will save as much of, this as
possible for sale to others, letting the
fact be known regarding the quantity
which they may have for sale.
Caution With Regard to Threshing,
Storing and Marketing.
Flax Seed: A word of caution in
regard to the handling Of flax seed for
marketing is perhaps not out OF place
at this time. The experience OF last
year teaches us that very many farm.
ers lost great sums of money by
threshing their fax while it. was wet
or while the atmosphere was damp.
Nature provides the fax plant with 3
cover for it's seeds which protects the
seed, but after it is threshed and
threshed damp, it is almost Impossible
to get that seed to market in any large
volume before it is spoiled. Hundreds
of farmers shipped in car loads of
fax which was bought by commission
men at very low price for the rea-
son that it was damp, mouldy and
spelling in the cars. I believe it is
safer to leave the fax we'll punched or
reasonably we'll stacked outdoors
throughout the entire winter than 1t
is to thresh it while it is wet. The
loss due to the seed being left in the
damp straw and to the heating Of the
damp fax seed after it is threshed has,
by the experience Of the past, been
found to greatly exceed that of the
possible loss in reasonably well bunch.

in the race for prison commissioner
has lent no little interest to that con-
test Mr.. Grovenstein has several
times represented Effingham in the
legislature, both in the house and in
the senate. Both he and Hill Tuggle,
former inspector of the prison com
mission, have announced their candj-
oacy against Commissioner T. I.
Patterson, who was appointed by
Gov. Hoke Smith to succeed the late
Gen. Clement A. Evans.
Judge James j. Flynt, of Griffin, is
a new entry in the contest for railroad
C mmissloner. He is an eX-president
of the state senate and has figured
extensively in the legislature. There
are three commissioners to be elect
THIS year, those who will make the
lace being Joseph f. Gray, of Savan>
nah, Judge George Hillyer, of Allan
Ia, and Paul R. Trammell, of Dalton.
MIR. Trammell's appointment by Gov
Hoke Smith was effective only until
the next election following. Judge
Flynt has not decided yet which one
of the present commissioners he will
will run against, but it is necessary t.

ment Hon. N. l.. Johnson, of Barlow,

making the race against Judge Hillyer,
so Judge Flynt will have to pick out
one of the others, unless ne wants to
get into a three-cornered fight. Edi-
tor E. l.. Rainey, of Dawson, who was
prominently mentioned as a candidate
for railroad commissioner, now denies
the charge. He says his occupation of
country editor is far preferable to any
role that politics offers.

You have seen our actual results as
