LIME TESTS IN GEORGIA
John r. Fain, Professor of Aeronomy,
Georgia State College of
Agriculture.

i, An average of two years in the ap-
plication of lime for corn, cotton and
cowpeas has been obtained from lead
ing types of soils in various sections
of Georgia.
These tests have been made in Co
lumbia, Hancock, Walker, Troup,
Walton and Pike counties in North
Georgia and in Dooley, Daugherty.
Bulloch and Brook in South Georgia.
The best results in the use of lime
was obtained from legumes. Since le-
gumes are important contributors to
soil fertility it may be said that lime
and legumes form the basis of econom.
ical soil building in Georgia.
The average increase per acre for
corn obtained by the use of lime for
two years is 81 bushels for North
Georgia and 1.3 bushels for South
Georgia. The average increase for
cotton in North Georgia is 1904
pounds and for South Georgia so
pounds seed cotton. For North Geor-
gia there was an increase of SIC

WHAT FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK
IS ACCOMPLISHING IN GEORGIA


During the year 1913 more than TO-
600 Georgia farmers co-operated with
the Georgia State College of Agricul-
ture and the Department of Farm
Demonstration Work of the United
States Bureau of Agriculture. OF this
number $500 Wee enrolled as dem
onstration farmers and 5,236 as coop
Grating farmers. These farmers who
had $4,000 acres of corn planted and
handled under the direction of super
wishing agents produced an average
OF 1863 bushels per acre. They had
$4,000 acres planted to cotton which
made an average yield of 1903 pounds
of seed cotton per acre. The 4,055
acres of oats produced an average
yield of 43 bushels per acre. No bet.
ter arguments need be made in favor
OF farming according to the improved
methods recommended by the agencies
promoting this work.
Among these farmers, 27,6O0 acres
were sown to winter cover crops to
be plowed under in spring. This in it.
self is so vital to the upbuilding of
Georgia soils that if nothing else were
accomplished, it would amply Justify
the outlay for demonstration work
OF course, demonstration work is car
r1ed on in cowpeas, velvet beans, po-
tatoes, sugar cane, sorghum and win
ter legumes; likewise in live stock

farm practices that are new to the
southern cotton planter.
Farm demonstration work means
showing the farmer how to put into
practice the results of experiments
and knowledge gathered from'~the
whole world of farming; knowledge
that one person could not acquire by
his own experience in thousand
years. 1t means further that the farm
er can be saved from mistakes which
others have made In no occupation
is there so many possibilities of error
as farming 1t is the purpose of the
experiment stations, colleges and fed
eral forces working in agriculture to
detect error and warn the farmer as
much as it is TO guide him with test
ed knowledge Of the right way to
farm.
The farm demonstration work is
rapidly increasing in Georgia. 1t has
been difficult to meet the demands,
considering the limited means and
properly qualified men at hand. 1t is
not only the duty of the College of
Agriculture to act as a clearing house
for information but it is its duty to
equip men to act as leaders in this
popular modern movement. In this
latter respect it will be almost impos'
sible for the College with its present
capacity to turn out men fast enough
for the work.

Since lime is cheap and need not
be applied only at from three to six
years intervals, it will be seen that it
is exceedingly valuable fertilizer, es-
pecially for legumes.

DECLARES GERMANS

Expert Sees Signs That the kaiser's
s Troops Have Lost Their
Power 10

London, Oct. l9.-The study OF
Sir John French's dispatches should
inspire us with confidence In the re.
suit of the war, for we cannot discov.
er that the German armies in France,
after their first bolt was shot, have
IN the course of the last two months
accomplished anything at all, except
the. destruction of "A few forts by
heavy guns.
The German armies have not sus.
tanned their reputation and the allied
troops have now no difficulty in re-
pulsing them; less and less appears
TO be the respect that the Germans
inspire and the virtue of staying
mower can scarrly be attributed to
them.
The troops OF the allies keep on
lighting the enemy and hitting him;
lie Is not liking it so much as Bern
hardi expected.
The hopelessness OF the struggle Is
beginning TO dawn on the German
soldiers in the field, and though they
stlll make half hearted attacks the
old spirit seems to have been knock
ed out OF them.
The great loss of officers and the
appearance in the field of many sec
ond rate troops is exercising a dis
integrating effect, and, though the
German armies are still strong, It is
clear that the allies have no fear of
them at all IL

SENATOR REED . q
SMOOT RETURNS

Tired After Long Trip. Calls Atten.
ton to Fact That North and
West viii Pay War Tax

Salt Lake, Oct. 21-United States
Senator Reed Smoot returned home
to Utah yesterday from his official
duties at the national capital. Tired
after the long journey from Washing
ton, Senator Smoot did not care to
discuss politics in detail, but rather
desired to talk of Utah and It's peo-
pie. Standing out on the porch Of
his daughters home overlooking the
city, he gazed at the blinking cleo
trio lights last night and, turning to
those around him, he commented:
There is something in the air out
here In Utah that makes one feel
that he has come home. There is a
tingling in my fingers and I have n
feeling ]. cannot describe. 1t feels
good to be, at home again."
Senator Smoot arrived on the Los

and went to the. home Of his daugh-
ter Mrs. A. F.. Carbon, $50 South

While there are many things to be
said in connection with the present
campaign in the nation Senator
Smoot declared he continued his dis
Cussion to national affairs ana espe
cially to Democratic extravaganza and
the war tax. He went into the de-
tails of the Democratic pork barrel
bills and the effects of the European
war Oh the commerce of the United
States. Senator Smoot, criticised the
Democratic administration for its tar
iif for revenue only policy and for the
vicious legislation 1t has caused to
be enacted during the present session
of Congress.
Senator Smoot called attention to
the war tax measures Of the Demo-
cratic administration and pointed out
that the $lO5,OO0,OOO levied by the
Democratic Congress to keep the
running will come mostly
from the north and west. The indus
tries of the north and west will pay
"a per cent of the tax. while the In
OF the south will pay only
n small proportion Of the tax.
This Congress has acted like a
young spendthrift who has fallen heir |
to the fortune OF his millionaire un
