GOVERNOR or GEORGIA
URGES REDUCTION
COTTON ACREAGE

Atlanta Constitution.
Governor John VI. Slaton Saturday
urged upon the prison commission OF
the state that next year the cotton
acreage Of the State farm. which -
under the supervision Of the prison
commission. he reduced. and tina food
products be raised In plac. q cotton.
The following letter was sent TO the
prison commission:
Gentlemen. In view OF The present
condition regarding the production OF
cotton, and of the fact that in your
Official capacity YOU produce large
quantities OF cotton on the prison
farm, | desire TO suggest the desira-
hality Of limiting the amount II cot
ton planted next year and in place
thereon that more food stuns should
be raised on the prison farm.
1t Is my understanding that II a
larger quantity OF food stuffs should
be raised. II can be utilized and an
expense of the maintenance OF the de
partmett he thereby lessened.
III the same amount Of cotton is
produced next year as was in 1914.
ana if il be true that the cost OF pro-
duction is approximately 10 cents per
pound, in my Judgment the price that
cotton Will bring next year Will be less
than the cost of production, and
therefore IT is TO the general advan-
Southern States that they limit thu
amount Of cotton for 1915.
Il simply make to You this sugges-
ton in order that o may take ii
under Amusement, and shall give To it
such weight as the conditions with
which you are familiar shall require.
I am. with high regards.
Very truly yours,

GROWING WINTER
OATS IN SOUTH
Every Farmer Should Raise
Enough To Feed Work Stock
Portion of Year

washington, d. c., Oct. 31.-Eyery
Southern farmer should grow enough

least a portion o fthe year In adj
dition to furnishing feed grain at less
cost than it can be purchased. fall
sown oats prevent the washing of the
soil by which much fertility is fire.
nuently lost. There is still time to
SOW winter oats in the Gulf States.
though this work should be done at
once if good results are to be obtain
I'd. According to specialists of the
Cnited States Department Of Agricul
lure, oats sown in the Southern States
during October or the first half of
November may be expected to pro-
duce at least twice the yield of grain
obtained from spring seeding.
Winter grain may be sown on land
which produced a crop Of cotton, corn
or cowpeas the past summer. If this
land Aas not already been plowed, it
will be better to make the surface soil
hue and loose with the disk or drag
harrow than to'delay seeding by plow-
ing now. Better results are obtained
from sowing with the drill than from
broadcast seeding, though if a drill
is not available sowing the seed broad
cast on w~ell-prepared land usually
results In a good stand. II the pre-
ceding crop was well fertilized, 100
TO 20O POUNDS or ACID Will
be all that the oats require this fall.
though a little nitrate OF soda will
help supplied with nitrogen from the
growing Of cowpeas or some other
iegume. A top dressing of SO to 100
pounds Of nitrate Of soda applied
when growth starts in the spring will
greatly increase the yield.
The variety of winter oats most
commonly grown in the South is Red
R~ustproof. Appler. Lawson, Hundred
Bushel, Bancroft and Cook are selec.
tons or strains of Red Rustproo1
which are said to be particularly
valuable in some localities. The Full
ghum is a promising new variety

varieties are large. from 2 1-2 to 3 l.:

The smaller quantity is sufficient i
the seed is drilled early on well-pre
pared land, while 3 bushels or NOR
are needed when the seed is sow
broadcast late in the season. Tn
Winter Turf or Virginia Gray is
very hardy variety which is valuabl,

SPLENDID SUCCESS OF A FAMILY
OF IMMIGRANTS.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside DR.. A.. E.. Winship writes a
fine little article about John Austin
and his wife, Emma. who forty-six
years ago came to this country from
England with their four sons n set
tied on a 160-acre farm in the Rocky
Mountains. Austin had been q mill
worker and he and his wife scarcely
had money enough to come to this
country and take up the 100 acres
which the government at that time
was willing to give n settler. or
the subsequent success of this family
Doctor Winship writes in part as fol-
lows:
"Once established and the market
gardening scheme On it's feet, John
divided the $50 acres in halves, kept
80 acres and gave each OF the oyS
20 acres. They all worked the whole
of IT, but kept the expenses and in
come from each lot distinct.
Il know Mark Austin we'll; he is
one of the eminently prosperous men
IN Idaho. He furnishes sugar beetS
for eight of the large factories along
a line Of 400 miles of railway raising
many of the beets and contracting for
the rest. He is a prince among the
business men of Idaho.
The other three boys, Thomas,
william. and John, are cattle kings in
toiorado. Wyoming, and Utah, each
Is at the head of a livestock COM
pany, two in the sheep business-one
had $4,000 head when / saw him in
1918. One is president of the Wool
Growers Association of the inter
mountain region.
The business interests of those four
ulShty men are interlinked though
financially distinct. They u their
vast business schemes rs they die

81 acres as though it were n mar

Oh each 20 acres. and divide it. They

family, and ZACH has lone by his son:
