Big CORN YIELDS FROM
SCIENTIFIC FARMING
49S Farmers Average 46.6
Bushels

Atlanta, Feb. 1S,-An average yield
of 46.6 bushels of corn per acre was
secured by 498 farmers in Alabama and
Mississippi who cultivated 6,352.5 acres
in 1912, following the methods advoca.-
ed by the fields agents of the depart
ment Of farm improvement work main
tain13 by the Southern railway. On
neighboring farms where the ordinary
methods were followed the average
yield was IT'S bushels per acre.
In the same states GA farmers who
grew cotton under the methods advo-
Gated by this department had an aver
age production of 1,205.5 pounds Of
seed cotton per acre on 1889 acres
while on neighboring farms where or
binary methods were followed the ay-
erage yield was 531.5 pounds Of seed
cotton per acre. c. A Lawrence, Of
Plantersville, Ala, averaged 1O9 5
bushels of corn per acre on 35 acres;
A. Henderson, of Greenwood, Miss, av-
eraged 100 bushels per acre on %
acres; S. Killian, of Collinsyille, Ala j.,
averaged 2,732 pounds of seed cotton
per acre ON 6 acres; DIR, S. N. Pa
nell, of Maplesville, Ala, averaged 2,
313 pounds on 20 acres, and long
list of others farmers who made SPLEEN
did yields of both corn and cotton by
following the methods advocated BY
the department could be given.
These figures from the annual re-
port of T. o. Plunkett, manager of the
department, show what is being &C,
complished by farmers living along the
lines of the Southern railway and az
filiated lines through the aid of tho
agricultural experts, the farmers in all
case cultiyating their own land with
the resources at their command. The
work of this department has been. ey-
tended to all states served by the
Southern railway and its affiliated
lines, field agents having been placed
in Virginia, North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Kentucky and Tennessee in
September 1912. They have been cor
daily received and it is expected that
their work will prove as successful
as that of the agents In Alabama and
Mississippi.
The department Of farm improve,
ment work grew out of the movement
inaugurated by President Finley to aid
the farmers in the territory threatened
by the Mexican boil weevil to learn
how to grow cotton in spite of the wee
vii.
For this purpose practical farmers
who had grown cotton in Texas under
boil weevil conditions were employed
and their work proved SO success..f fl
fully combat the weevil, but also in
teaching them how to get larger yields
per acre by the adoption of proper
methods of culture, rotation of crops
and greater attention to live stock
raising, that President Finley deter
mined to extend the benefits of this
work to the entire territory along the
line of the Southern and affiliated
lines. The field agents in the service
of the department are agricultural ex-
perts whose services are given without
any cost to the farmers and who work
in full cooperation with the state and
federal departments of agriculture and
the various state agricultural col
leges.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.


by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
billing sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

Sheep Go Four Months Without Water

S'SSP w Ooi nOIIhIIo NVltnOut w diCi I.
Washington, July 5.-Sbeop on he
Nebo national forest, Utah, go four
and half months without water eX
cept for such moisture az thev get
from the dew and the juices of forage
plants.
Grazing sheep on a range entirely
destitute of water is a recent innova
tion due to the increasing demand for
forage and the efforts of the forest
officers to find place on the forest
ranges for all the stock that can safely
be admitted. Tie area on the Nebo
which has now proved usable by sheep
is high and rocky, portion of 1t be-
| ing above timber line, and it has mel
ther springs nor streams of suffic-
lent size or accessibility to be used
for stock watering purposes. The
grazing season lasts from June Is to
October 81, and during this period Of
four and half months the animals do
not get a drink.
Under such conditions, however, the
sheep have done extremely well, and
last years lambs from this range had
an average weight at the close of the
season of 6S pounds ON the Chicago
market, which was rather above the
normal weight from that vicinity.
In one area on the Targhee forest
n Idaho sheep get water only twice
during the -four months summer graz.
ing season. There is no water on the
range, but the sheep are driven to a
nearby stream, lower down the noun
tain side. Lambs from this range
weighed 60 pounds on the Chicago
market.
