FAVOR ENLARGING COLLEGE
WORK.

The annual meetings of the Geor-
gia Horticultural Society, the Geor-
gia Breeders Association and the
Georgia Dairy and Live Stock Associ'
alton, all passed resolutions addressed
to the legislature asking for appro
priations to enlarge the work OF the
college and provide room and appli-
ances for teaching the rapidly grow
ing student body The resolutions are
similar and copy of one is as fol
lows:
"Resolved, That we hereby petition
the general assembly of Georgia to
provide the most liberal appropriation
for the Georgia State College of Agrl
culture, Athens, Georgia. Authentic
reports prove that during the past
five years the activities of the Col
lege of Agriculture have materially
increased the yield and production Of
our principal crops. The State Col
lege of Agriculture needs liberal II
nancial assistance to erect additional
buildings, maintain demonstration
work, which includes farmers insti-
tutes agricultural extension schools,
teachers Institutes, boys and girls,
clubs. farm demonstrations, soil sur
yeys, fertilizer test plats, hortcultu-
raj investigations, plant and animal
breeding centers, field work in live
stock and dairying and poultry hus-

President Andrew M. soule.

TT seems to us very fitting. We con-
graduate ourselves and 1 feel like
congratulating the people Of Georgia
upon the perfecting of this organiza-
ton and the uniting of the efforts Of
the great State College of Agricul-
ture which you have established in
YOUR state and the United States De
partment of Agriculture, for render
ing the best possible service to the
farmers of the state of Georgia
AS Mr.. Knapp has aptly stated on
another occasion: "The campus OF
the college has been extended to the
whole state" The sixty-odd farm
demonstrators will be in close con-
nection with the working of the col
lege, and in fact may be said to now
be part of it's field force.

Health Notice.

The attention of all citizens is
called to the necessity of looking
after the sanitary conditions of
their premises. Flies require the
greatest attention, as they carry
more disease germs and come
more directly in contact with
your food supply than any other
mode of contamination. You
should screen your houses befole
Spring-time. Their chief place
of breeding is in stable manure,
and | must insist that the stables
in the city be kept in better con-
dition, and wnere manure is piled
out for as much as 48 hours it
must be sprinkled with some
form of disinfectant.
Cloan up yards and alleys; pile
it and we will move it. Don't
allow standing water about your
place, as that is the birthplace
of mosquitoes. Report standing
water, old unused wells or any
other nuisance in your neighbor-
hood to me and will see to it.

Query-What application of fertiliz-

chards?
Apply IL pound cotton seed meal.
10 pound nitrate of soda 3 pounds
acid phosphate, / pound muriate of
potash at the rate of 500 pounds to
the acre of 100 peach trees. Put 5
pounds in circles round each tree,
the greater portion being several feet
from the trunk. If applied broad
cast use 600 to 700 pounds per acre.
If less than 100 trees to acre divide
the 800 pounds equally per tree, and
apply. Fertilizer should be applied
to bearing trees in the form above
mentioned if a crop of legumes have
been turned under during the preced-
ing season. If such a crop has not
been turned under the cotton SEED
meal can be increased.

A MANS LIFE.

A mans career is not the whole
of life. If this poor fraction is
regarded as possessing an inte-
grail value there is Il pitiful pov-
erty even in the midst Of abun-
dant possessions. The fullneSs of
any single life is dependent upon
the larger life about it, which it
is capable of touching, absorbing,
and transmitting into its own vi
tai power and energy. The prog
ress Of the world is due not so
much to the great careers of
great men, but in very large
measure to the excess of time
and thought and energy which
busy men have nobly given to
the worlds need and the worlds
distress. The untired efforts of
tired men, the generous giving
of time on the part of those who
have no time to spare, the devo-
ton OF the hours of rest to addi-
tional service. the unrequited Ia
Dor, the investment which pays
no dividend-these are the fac
tors which enter constructively
into the world progress and are
the hope of its salvation. The
tragedy of a life is its failure to
touch the life of the world. 1t
may splendidly develop its own
resources for its own needs and
it's own pleasures or, if you
please, for it's own name and
fame. but it's success only serves
to make its failure the more con-
Spicuous if its ambition does not
seek to give as well as to get
and is not willing to stoop to
sacrifice as we'll as to glory in
Success.-John Grier Hibben.

LONELINESS AND MINOR
TALITY,

Such panacea is this art of
loneliness. But sometimes, too,
it may intensity the sense of
loneliness. only for more heav-
emily relief at last. Think of the
deep composure of lonely, sad
Beethoven. wreaking his pain
upon expression in those impa-
tent chords and modulations,
putting his sorrows into sonatas
and wringing triumph always out
of all. Look at him as he was
then-morose, they sly, and
lonely and tormenred; look where
he is now, as the whole world
knows him. feels him, seeks him
for its joy and inspiration, and
who can doubt of Immortality?

who had learned embroidery and lace
making in the converts under the
Spanish regime. Furthermore. be-
cause of their great natural aptitude
for such work, and because of their
patience and delicacy of execution, he
Filipino women are considered amor
the most skillful workers in the world
in these arts, their products being
classed by experts as even superior to
that of the French and the Swiss. The
schools are therefore working on sure
ground in teaching lace-making and
embroidery. and they have ascertained
that the demand for the kind of work
their children can turn out is prac-
tically unlimited. In an effort to in
crease the. available supply of teach
ers for the work. courses in lace-mak-
ing n embroidery have been offered
in the Philippine normal school since
1910, and also in the various vacation
assemblies of teachers.
The first thing a Filipino girl Ices
in h sewing class in school is to
make for herself a complete outfit of
clothing. This work she usually be-
gins in the second grade, but some
times in. the first or third. Armed
with an embroidery frame and other
boys in the same SCHOOL,. she advances
in proficiency through the various
grades; hemming and embroidering
cotton squares. fine linen, handker-
chiefs. waists, and so on. The more
expert girls turn out masterpieces i'm

they make all varieties of ..pillow.

lace), Maltese. Ceylon or Indian. Irish
crochet. etc. Battenburg ia also made
for local use. but it is not
for export, because the Japanese can
make it more cheaply.
An idea of the extent of industrial,
education in the Philippines may be
gained from the fact that early 400
600 school pupils are engaged in some
kin of industrial work. For the past
OF years Industrial instruction has
been prescribed in the primary course
for both boys and girls, and the work
is systematically carried on in an adj
yanced stage in the intermediate
schools. Twenty-six well-euuipped
trade schools have been established i'm
Manila and the various provinces.
there is a college of agriculture at Los
Banos. and a college of engineering
has been added to the University az
the Philippines. The Filipinos take to
the educational program, industrial
n otherwise, quickly and profitably:
and the civil government finds it's
duties much less Onerous now that the
military invasion of the islands has
been superseded by the educational.

China continues to rank first AS a

considerably less than in certain earlier
years. In the 10 months ended with

against So. O0O, 900 in the corresponding
period of 1911. Other important mar
kets include Canada, to which the cX-
ports increased from 5000, 900 yards in

the Philippines from 10000, 900 to ST.

$685. 900. 900. compared with 1851. 900, 900
for India and $94. 900. 900 for China. In
expectation of cotton manufactures the
United States, while making steady
progress, is far behind certain indus

one-third those of Germany, and 80
