Gil Should Not Take Boys Arm

In the Home Problem" depart
. ment of the February Woman's
: Home Companion appears the fol-
lowing letter:
81 am eighteen years old and
about to enter society. l am little
uncertain what TO do in regard to
gentlemen friends. Should l take
a gentleman's arm when he is my
escort in the evening? Ought 1 to
thank him for civiliiies, and may 1
accept presents?"
The following answer to the ques-
ton raised is made by the editor
of the department.:
"In the first place, my dear
child, do not use the expression
gentleman friends Neither gen
tleman friends nor lady friends be-
long to good form in common con-
versation. I would have you speak
at the right time of the gentleman
and the lady, but when you are
talking of them socially it is better
to say man friend and woman
friend You are not to take a
mans arm when walking with him,
nor, on the other hand, is he to
. take yours. A man may give his
arm to woman who is crippled, in
firm, blind, or aged. A young wo-
man stands and walks without as
sistance. Make it a rule always to
thank everybody, men and women
alike, if they show you politeness
or render assistance. Do not ac-
cept costly presents from a man who
is neither your brother nor your
fiance. The man who is your es-
cort may send you flowers. An in
innate friend may bring you bon
bons or present you with book"

a wide range of territory.
In the basket willow investiga-
ions carried on at the Arlington
farm, and at Ames, Iowa, by the
Forest Service, particular attention
has been given to the development
of American species for basket max
ing purposes. The European spe-
cies now commonly used have never
proved themselves entirely adapted
to American conditions, and are, as
a rule, less thrifty than the native
species. At present there is at
Arlington a willow garden contain
ing nearly 500 lots gathered from
all parts of the country and repre-
senting practically every species and
variety in the United States and
Canada.
A system of selection which has
been carried on for several years
is already Indicating which strains
show the best basket willow charac-
teristics for American conditions.

BY STAFF OF GA. STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE
EVIDENCES THAT
SCIENTIFIC FARMING PAYS IN GEORGIA


The graduates from the Georgia
State College of Agriculture speak for
themselves in every community
where they are known. They are the
most successful and progressive. One
has reported net earnings of $4,000
out of his operations in 1912 and has
introduced new industry in his
community.
The College farm brought an in
come of $8,5S141 in 1912 and netted
earnings of $2,246.96. A dairy herd
,netted profit of $1,S1760 or profit
Of $60.5S per COW.
: Under the direction of the College
of Agriculture and the United States
Department of Agriculture the boys of
the Corn Clubs produced approximate
ly 100000 bushels of corn at net profit
of $244,000. One girl netted in the
tomato club $6915 on one-tenth of an
acre or nearly $500 per acre. The
average profit per tenth acre of all
girls in the tomato clubs during 1912
was $24.SS or $248 per acre.
BY use of crop rotations, legumes,
soil Improvement and seed selection,
the College has shown on its own
farm an increase in corn from II to
100 bushels per acre and of cotton
from one-half to three bales per acre.

From these tests it is clear that the
best-looking corn is rot always the
best seed corn. Other methods must
be employed to increase the yields.
An increased number of farmers
of Georgia have determined to en-
gage in breeding corn this year and
build up the yielding power OF this
crop. To do this they will conduct
plat tests, keeping accurate tab on
each ear. When the corn has tassel-
ed, they will remove the tassels from
alternating hills to make sure that
the corn is fortified by another stalk
and not by itself. From these stalks
that have been detasseled will be
taken the seed corn for the next
year.
The best ears will he chosen from
this lot for the following. years tests,
while the rest are used in planting
the field. terminating tests will, of
course, be made before planting.

Farmers in cooperation with DEM
onstration agents showed that under
right selection of varieties OF corn
yield of an average of Ga bushels
per acre as against "A bushels per
acre for inferior varieties. Demonstra-
tons in apple culture have shown 80
per cent. of crop is made salable,
where the unsprayed showed only 5
per cent. salable.
In cooperation with the Central OF
Georgia railroad, forty-acre farms -
several in number-each operated by
one man and two mules in 1872,
showed profits where money was lost
en- many adjoining farms.
Three thousand corn demonstrators
in Georgia located in 60 counties with
acreage $4,000, produced an average
yield of 35 bushels or three times the
average for the state. Three thou
sand cotton demonstrators in 60 coun-
ties with acreage planted 10000, pro
duced 1850 pounds seed cotton or
three times the average Of the state.
Many more instances might be re-
counted, but these figures and the
thousands of Georgia farmers who
have actually tried out the modern
methods taught by the College, make
it necessary to go no further.
