NATIONAL MARKET PLAN
PROPOSED FOR FARMERS
Association to Take
Care of Products Urged by
YOkum
CBy Associated Press.)

DALLAS. Tex, Oc:. IA national
marketing association for farmers"
was advocated by B. F. Yokum here to-
day in an address before the conven-
ton of southwestern growers.
IT talked on the subject of a ma
tional market bureau with Governor
Wilson, both as to its Importance and
necessity, and he is heartily in favor
of it's creation on broad and compre-
hensive lines, and is ready to join in
pushing it through"
1t costs the farmers of this country,
Mr.. Yokum said. something like $780,
GOO, 900 annually in interest on their
loans, which is $2Oo.OOO.OOO more than
it should be.
He gave an instance of a carload Of
watermelons in Oklahoma which he
said the farmers sold for cents a
piece. though in Minnesota those mel
ons retailed for so to so cents a piece.
The buyer, Mr.. Yokum said. told the
farmer that he could not pay him
much because of excessive railroad
freight, which the speaker declared
was untrue, because the railroad
freight on that car was IL cents
per melon.
"The time is passing" said he,
when men can satisfy the producer
by loose and reckless statements about
freight rates or about borrowing rates
on mortgages"

OF VALUE TO HORSEMEN-Do you
turn your horses out for the winter? If
so, we want to call your attention to
very important matter. Horses which
have been used steadily at work, either
on the farm or road, have quite likely
had some strains whereby lameness or
engagements have been caused. Or per-
haps new life is needed to be infused into
their legs. Gombault's Caustic Balsam
applied as per directions, just as you are
turning the horse out, will be of great
benefit; and this is the time when it
can be used very successfully. One great
advantage in using this remedy is that
after it is applied it needs no care or at
tention. but does its work well and at a
time when the horse is having a rest
OF course it can be used with equal
success while horses are in the stable,
but many people in turning their horses
out would use Caustic Balsam if they
were reminded of it, and this article is
given as a reminder.-(Advt)

Should I use the hulled seed Or those
in the burr?
1 have been advised to use 200 pounds
Of 16 per cent acid, 100 pounds of cot
ton seed meal and 100 poNnls of kainit.
The formula suggested by your friend
for use under Dwarf Essex rape is a
very good one. This formula would
contain approximately per cent of
phosphorie acid, 2 per cent OF nitrogen
and per cent of potash. Rape would
probably be benefited if seeded on this
land by the use of even a higher grade
formula than this in a little larger
quantity, say 500 to 500 popnds per
acre. Increase the nitrogen and phos-
the potash by one-haIf per cent.
Pecan trees which have made good
growth and are in a vigorous condition
will not need to be fertilized heavily
with nitrogen, but they should be lib
orally supplied with phosphorus and
potash This is particularly true on
sandy land We would suggest that
you use about five pounds for eight
year-old trees of a formula containing
10 per cent of phosphOric acid, 2 per
cent of nitrogen in an organic form and
s to 10 per cent of potash. The per
cent of potash varies with the char
acter of the land Sandy land con-
tains less potash than clay, and there
fore more of it should be used. II
you will grow clover crops in your or
chard and turn them under the use of
$50 much phosphorus is not so neces-
sary as on land where this practice is
not employed. The Incorporation of
vegetable matter with the soil will
help to set free a limited amount of

BIC EXHIBIT IS PLANNED
FOR CHICAGO LAND SHOW
Preliminary Plans for Geor-
gia'S Exhibit Were Made at
Meeting Saturday

At a meeting held Saturday afternoon
in the office of w. II. Leahy. general
passenger agent for the Atlanta, Bir-
we're formulated for the sending of a
Georgia exhibit to the annual land show
which will be held in Chicago in No
yember.
Present at the meeting were Mr.
Leahy. who is president OF the Georgia
Exhibit association; w. c. Woodall. of
Columbus, who is. editor OF the Indus
trial Index, and c, F. Andrews secretary
of the Waycross board of trade, The
exhibit association. which Mr., Leahy
heads, was organized over year ago at
the suggestion of the immigration COM
mittee OF the Atlanta chamber of COM
merce.
The object both of this association
and of the Georgia exhibit at Chicago
is to boost the state in agricultural and
commercial lines. The Georgia exhibit
at the 1911 show In the Windy City is
said to have been one of the best there,
and its results in advertising the state
were far-reaching. Many immigrants
from the northwest either moved to
Georgia or purchased land in some part
of the state, Even better results are
expected from the 1912 exhibit
Saturdays conference resulted in a
decision to call another meeting for next
Saturday. Letters will be sent out in
the meantime to many commercial and
agricultural leaders urging that they
send delegates to this meeting, when
the final plans will be made.
1t is hoped to make this years exhibit
more comprehensive than that of 1911,
and especial attention win be paid to
agricultural products. All parts Of the
state will be represented.

You are acting wisely in preparing

Your cotton bolls are probably af
fected with anthracnose which is due to
the infestation of the plant by a specific
fungus, which is i'm itself a perfect plant
and lives through the winter in the con-
dition of a spore, thus being in readi-
ness to attack the plant and the bolls,
and is destructive to both in certain
seasons. The weather conditions at times
this year have favored this disease very
materially and It has proven suite de-
structive on that account. 1t attacks the
bolls by first appearing as a little round
ring or circular spot, and later chang
ing to a pink powder which spreads and
muldplies until one whole side of the
hollis may be affected and rendered rot
ten, thus causing them to shed off and
drop to the ground. Some varieties Of
cotton are much more susceptible to this
trouble than others. OF the thir-
ty-flve varieties tested in our demon
stration field, the number of bolIs at
tackled ranged from up to Is per cent.
This disease is so damaging to the
cotton crop in Georgia that this insti-
tuition has endeavored through it's de-
partment of cotton industry to develop
a strain resistant to this trouble Our
efforts have been quite successful, and
considerable quantities of this seed have
been distributed and have stood up I'M
der the test for the last two years About
the only way you can hope to fight this
disease successfully is to secure a strain
of cotton which is immune or largely i'm
mune. Rotate your crops, treat your
seed before planting it by any of the
methods used to destroy smut in oats
and select your seed from plants which
are not affected with this trouble

on the spring or summer rains to fur
nish the moisture to mature the crop.
If you can secure hitter and leaf mold
to use on this soil or yard manure, SO
much the better. An abundance of this
will go a long way towards insuring
a good yield. In our tests here at Ath-
ems we have found Hastings, Whatleys,
Cookies and Marlboro Prolific all very
good varieties. From our experience
here we are inclined to favor the culti-
walton of prolific corn on most types
of upland soils in Georgia. Whatleys
Prolific has been developed in south
Georgia and would not be an early ma
turing variety when brought tc north
Georgia Hastings Prolific has given
good results in this section, and We
regard Marlboro as one of the best
sorts you can cultivate in north Geor-
gia. We think you will have little
difficulty in securing good seed of these
varieties.

Two pounds of cotton seed meal
with plenty of good, bright, clean fod-
der and grass makes an excellent main
tenance ration for .stockers during the
winter season. We carried large
number of animals through the winter
and finished them on grass at the Vir-
ginia experiment station on a ration
somewhat similar to this except that
we used silage for the greater part of
the roughness during the winter feed
ing period The results obtained were
fully set forth in bulletins and if you
care to get the details no doubt the
Virginia experiment station, at
Blacksburg, would be glad to furnish
you with the needed copies. There IS
no objection to cotton seed cake broken
to the size of a hazlenut, but 1 can
not see that this would constitute a
material advantage over the use of
the meal. The return from the meal
in either form will depend largely on
the completeness with which the food
is masticated and digested. The meal
has the advantage, of course OF being
of a uniform consistency, and, there
fore, in condition to scatter over the
roughness and mix more thoroughly
with it.
In feeding these cattle ! would pre-
fer to cut or shred the fodder, moisten
it slightly with brine water, and ALLOW
the mass to be fed the next morning
and evening to stand overnight. Then
scatter the meal over the top of this
fodder after it has been placed in che
manager and mix the mass together by
turning over with a fork. If you are
feeding in racks outside or in open
troughs, this will be some trouble
and Inconvenience, but I think it will
pay you to see that the meal or the
cake in every instance is well miXed
with the roughage, so that the animals
will not consume it in excessive qu~Hs

In fruit or some sort of meadow, or

some sand is ii. What kind of grass
would you advise putting on this land?
Land of the character referred to in
your letter will probably earn you a fair
revenue If devoted to grass provided you
choose the character of grass best adapt
ed to this locality. We would recon-
mend a mixture for a location such as
you describe of tall oat grass, red top,
timothy, Pasalum dilation and alsike
clover. The land. of course, should be
as well prepared as possible before the
seeding is done, and IL you intend TO SOW
this fan do so at the earliest possible
moment. You might use say a light
seeding OF winter oats as a cover crop
but do not use over a bushel OF seed
per acre. The grass and oats shoul be
broadcasted and the land should be we'll
fertilized with a formula running about
s per cent of phosphorus, per cent Of
nitrogen and per cent of potash Use
at least 500 pounds per acre. The mixture
should be compounded on the basis of
bushel of tall oat grass, four to five
pounds of red top, four pounds of timo-
thy, five pounds of paspalum, and about
seven pounds of clover. This makes an
expensive mixture but il is one of the
best which can be recommended for
location such as you have. This COM
blnation should produce an excellent hay
or a fine pasture. IL is important to
remember that grass does not grow as
readily as some other crops and the land
must be put in good condition and fer
tilted from year to year 1t is also
well TO remember that paspalum is a slow
developing grass and may not make its
presence known for any considerable ex-
tent suntil two years after seeding We
kow from experiece that you are more
likely to succeed from the combination
suggested than any other which we are
familiar with at this time.

this time nothing has been done:
Thousands upon thousands OF
dollars worth of the most valu-

prevented if proper apparatus
had been secured.
This apparatus could easily
have been secured. We spend

had no trouble securing funds
for . Parish Fair, and in many
