it will be seen that the inoculated pro-
duced at the rate of 64S tons per acre
and the uninoculated 344 tons per
acre.
1t has been apparent that the inoc-
ualtion has been spreading from where
it was applied to the uninoculated, per-
haps by means of drainage. 1t grad
ually progressed frOM the inoculated
territory across the plat, making a
marked change as it progressed. In
those corners to which the inocula-
tion did not spread, the alfalfa has
died down.
The alfalfa patch is on fertile land,
which had been green manured and
clean cultivated before being seeded
to alfalfa. The season was favora-
BILE.
New areas have been seeded to al
falfa, and other experiments are be-
ing carried on, results from which can
not be declared with certainty from

President M soule state college of Agriculture.

A yield of practically IL tons per
acre of cured alfalfa hay was obtain
ed from the first years cuttings at
the College of Agriculture in 1913.
The most striking lesson of the ex-
periments was the advantage of inoc-
ulating. Each of the five cuttings was
carefully weighed from both the in
oculated and the uninoculated. The
first cutting was made April 80. The
inoculated tract produced 1.6S tons per
acre and the uninoculated AS tons per
acre. On June IA second cutting
was made. The inoculated produced
1.19 tons per acre and the uninocu-
lated .53 of ton per acre. The third
cutting was made on July II when
1.30 tons per acre was cut on the
inoculated and ~ of a ton on the
uninoculated. On August 20, the
fourth cutting was made, the inoculat-
ed part yielding Las tons per acre
and the uninoculated so of a ton per

his battered derby in the air and yell

So the policeman yawned, divorced

"Hooray!" was the answer.
That was all the patrolman could

AROUs|NG TO NECESSITY OF RAISING COLTS.


One of the most recent and praise
worthy movements toward colt-rais-
ing in Georgia, is that which was
taken in Tattnall county, where two
carloads of Percheron mares were or
dered jointly by farmers and where
pure-bred stations of the same breed
are to be introduced. The farmers
of the county received the encourage
ment and backing of the bankers OF
the county. The College of Agricul-
ture gave encouragement and assist
anee, and offered to send representa-
tive to the market and see that good
animals were obtained without charg-
ing a fee. This offer was accepted.
Following Tattnall county's lead
and in consequence of the publicity
which that county obtained as a re-
suit of its forward movement, inqui-
ries have come from a number of coun-
4ies in the state, asking assistance
in the same direction. The authori-
ties of the College are willing to aid
in every way they can all worthy
Americus times-recorder., 1913-11-25

movements looking to increasing the
colt-raising industry in the state.
The experience of the College with
Percheron mares has been highly sat
isfactory. The grade mares which
have been used on the farm have done
their share of work along with big
mules, and in addition have foaled
colts each year that have been money
makers. The last colt sold for $16250
when five months old, weighing at
that time 700 pounds.
The College now owns two young
registered Percheron mares believed
to be the first registered Percheron
mares brought to Georgia. They are
young but very promising. With these
and the pure-bred stallion, the College
is beginning to produce some high
class Percheron stock that should
prove of great advantage to the state.
Georgia con stop it's million month
loss for work stock by getting into
the colt-raising business, which it can
do and succeed with the best of them.

the wanderlust seized him and he
wandered away to Europe in search
of adventures. Arriving in London af-
ter doing the contenent, he found HIM
self without funds. The remittance
from America failing to arrive he was
suddenly thrown upon his own re-
sources, which included a very large
ready wit, and still larger appetite
Being penniless, the latter was more
of an embarrassment than an asset,
but he determined to turrSit to good
account and applied for employment
in dime museum, where human mon
strosities were exhibited.
What can you do?" asked the man-
ager, What's your peculiar stunt?'
"I'm the champion egg-eater OF
America" replied Col. Walt
What can you do in that line?"
queried the manager.

dozen duck eggs and one dozen goose

But we give four shows day?"

Can you do the stunt that many

Sure"
But on Saturdays we give six
shows, and on holidays we have a
performance every hour. How about
that?"
