Much Aid Given Through Letters To
Farmers of State.

Athens, Feb. 14.-That there is now
a very live and widespread interest in
matters of fertilizers and soil surveys

College of Agriculture.
President Soule says that the col

5000 letters annually that seek agri-
cultural information of all sorts. Some
of these letters come from organized
bodies of farmers, and therefore assist
more than the number indicates. An

LARGEST HERON ROOKERY
IS IN GLYNN COUNTY
Buffalo Swamp There is Pro-
tGCtGd by Audubon Society

Atlanta, Feb. IA fact perhaps
not generally known is that what IS
perhaps the greatest white heron rooh-
cry, from which fowl the aigrette Tor
decorating women's hats is secured, is
found in Buffalo Swamp, in Glynu
county.
And because this rookery has been
protected from the slaughter of heron
hunters for years by the Audubon So
ciety, which pays a man to protect the
birds the year round this is true. Biros
of all KINGS are canny about finding
out where they are safe, and Buffalo
swamp is an ideal place for their
breeding ground, because it is practi-
cally impenetratable, only very few
having ever penetrated its tangled ami
Oozy interior.
The man in charge protects the white
heron closely, too, and no one is al
lowed to kill them. The aigrette is at
its best while the bird is Matching out
her young, and the slaughterers know
this, and the further fact that the
heron then is as tame as a domestic
fowl They are shot by the thousands
4 and tens of thousands during this
time, not only the parent birds perish
ing. but the young as well.
Warden Mercer says that this rook-
cry has become so crowded in the past
year or SO that an overflow rookery
has been established on Colonel's Is
land, where the birds breed by the
thousands.
1t is Mr.. MERGERS belief that these
two rookeries are the largest white
heron breedings grounds in the world.

were fired, two of which struck the

now being pushed by District At

given last Friday, resulted in the
suspension of two. police captains and
his story was being counted on as the
