THE CENTRAL'S TEST FARM IN TERRELL

of the farms as l wished, but on the
whole results along this line have
been satisfactory, and with a few
crops the wisdom of diversified crops
properly rotated will be evident
I'm my opinion, the results of the
work of the agricultural department
have been three-fOld:
Il. We have disseminated scien-
tific agricultural methods.
20. We have shown the import
ance of keeping accurate accounts OF
farm operations.
80. In some sections we have been
instrumental in creating a greater in
terest in better farming, as is shown
by frequent requests to visit and ad-
wise farmers other than our test
farmers"
The Central's twelve model farms
are located at the following places
Goshen, Pike county, Ala; Lock
hart, Covington county, Ala; Hart
ford, Geneva county, Ala; Media,

TWAS INSPIRING SIGHT.
More Than 100 Dawson Boys and
Girls Heard Mrs. Patterson.

While in Dawson Mrs. Patterson,
state president of the W. G. 7. u,
had the opportunity of speaking to
one of the livest Loyal Temperance
Legions ever, and it is doubtful If
she or the children assembled to lis
ten to her words of wisdom and en-
couragement will ever forget the oc-
casion, which stands out as the most
important feature of the recent in
stitute. To enlist grOwn-ups in a for
ward movement for the uplift of the
race is gratifying, but to enthuse the
young life with high ideals is Infinite
ly more far-reaching in good results,
and it was an inspiring sight in the
annex of the Methodist church
on Sunday afternoon when Mrs. r. E.
Bell, the faithful leader of the l.. t.
LIS. marshaled her forces, there be-
ing more than a hundred of the
brightest of Dawson's girls and boys.
1t was a scene to thrill any loyal cit
izen with pride. The showing made
by the children in answering ques-
tons was a revelation to the visitors

REPORT OF ROADS AGRICULT-
URIST SHOWS 1T HEADS THE
LIST IN NET PROFITS.

Mr.. T. G. Chastain, the agricultur-
list of the Central of Georgia railroad,
has made his report on the twelve
test farms of that road located on
its various lines in Georgia and Ala
bama, and the interesting fact is
shown that the farm in Terrell coun-
ty heads the list as to net profits.
The farm is located on the place of
J. F. Cooke two miles from Dawson,
on the Bronwood road, and is Guilt
waited by Mr.. Cookies tenant under
the direction of Mr.. Chastain, whose
report on it is as follows:
Test farm, No. 9.-Dawson, Ter
reI county, Georgia.-40 acres, val
ued at $50 per acre. Net profit,
$751.19, which is $18.78 per acre, or
38 per cent on the valuation of the
land. We were fortunate to secure
40 acres of good average land, and
think seasons favored us more here
than at some other points, which Is
shown by the good net profit obtain
ed We were forced to plant more
cotton than we recommend, but oW-
ing to the late start it was almost i'm
possible to change the plans of the
farmer. However, the yield of cotton
here was very good indeed, averaging
$50 pounds of lint cotton per acre
which is very good"
In submitting his report OF the
years operations on the farms MI.
Chastain says:
From the standpoint of maximum
yields and profits it was an unfavora-
Bile year, due to excessive rains; put,
comparatively, we show an advance,
which demonstrates that the proper
methods of farming pay, even under
adverse conditions. So far we nave
shown some profits on all the test
farms and on all of the crops, except
in few cases corn has failed to pay
a net profit after deducting all ex-
penses of making the crop and allow
ing liberal rental on the land. Also
the loss in this particular crop was
due possibly to the tendency of the
farmer to put his corn on the less fer
year We were compelled to conform
pretty closely to the plans OF the
farmer, as he had already prepared
certain lands for certain crops. This,
however, we hope to adjust i'll the tu-
ture and show just what can be made
out of the corn crop.
This year l have an advantage
over last year in that we have an
Increased acreage in small grain COW
er crops on a number of the farms
whereas We had none the past year,
and l am sure this will show an in
crease in this years corn crop, as we
have planned to follow this cover
crop with corn.
Realizing the waste of fertility
and lack of profits incidental to the
one-crop system have made strong
effort to restore this waste by proper
system of crop rotation. This mas
