this ADVICE TO fkRMFRS
ON line OF ECONOMY
Is Worthy Of Very Careful
Consideration

Capt. John A. Cobb, president of
the Georgia State Agricultural Socie-
ty, at the recent annual meeting of
that large and representative body
at Albany, introduced the, following
very timely resolutions, respecting the
practice of economy upon the farm
and the production of gardens and
general food crops. The resolutions
were adopted unanimously.
Resolved, That the length of the
war in Europe and its resulting influ-
ences upon conditions in this country
have proved so depressing in many re-
spects, therefore we call upon the
farmers of Georgia to exercise the
strictest economy possible in their ex-
penses of every character, and to pro
coed at once for a self-supporting

Resolved, that, in pitching their
crops for 1915, they should let food
supplies be their main crop and make
cotton what it properly should be,
surplus crop.
I'VE have seen darker and more de.
pressing days than we are now pass
ing through, but what prevented Sc
rious suffering was that our smoke
houses and cribs were full. A deter
mination on the part of our people to
act in concert for what is the benefit
of all-be cheerful and encourage each
other, and We will find things are not
as discouraging as they might be.

Preparation of Soil.

Club contests.
Preparation of Soil.
The bulls were bought early in the
summer and loaned to farmers along
the line who had some breeding stock
and would agree to purchase one
pure bred Shorthorn heifer, put in a
dipping vat and keep their cattle free
of ticks. Wherever these bulls were
placed they aroused in the farmers
who saw them desire to own some
pure bred stock themselves and al
ready ffty-fve head of pure bred
Shorthorns have been purchased by
farmers in Central of Georgia terri
tory and this is only a beginning. In
few years we will be rid Of the cat
tie tick and raising thousands Of just
as fine beef cattle as can be raised
anywhere.
The use OF ground limestone on the
soils of this section is of particular
importance just now when the Euro
pean war is likely to cut off our sup
ply of potash. Lime is not a fertil-
izer in itself, but it corrects the acid
ity of the soil, improves the condition
of the soil and makes available the
potash and other elements of plant
food in the soil.
Fortunately most of our soils are
pretty well supplied with potash AMI
by using lime we may be able to gee
along fairly we'll if our potash supply
should be cut off for a season or two.
But even if there were no shortage
in potash the use of lime is most
profitable practice for nearly all of
our soils are more or less acid and
with a ground limestone now obtain
able at points in this section for from
$3.50 to $3.50 per ton f. 0. b. in car
lots, the farmers can we'll afford to
apply one or two tons per acre.
On soil already deficient in vegeta-
BILE matter the stimulating action OF
lime will rapidly impoverish the soil
if no effort is made to retain or in
crease the vegetable matter and this
brings us to the third important prac-
tice for the farmers of this section

Agricultural Agent of the Central of
Georgia Railway.

Agricultural Agent of the Central of
Georgia Railway.
While the agricultural department
of the Central of Georgia is interested
in every method or practice which
means larger crops and greater prof
its for the farmer in the territory
served. there are three things which
Just now seem of greater Importance
than any other three that could be
named, and these are the raising of
beef cattle, the lining Of soils and
the growing of winter cover crops.
There is a rapidly growing interest
among farmers in all these subjects
and when the practice of these meth
DDS becomes general the farmers
profits will increase by millions Of
dollars and nearly every dollar SO
produced will remain at home to add
to the wealth of our own section.
Stock Raising.
Stock raising, so long neglected in
this section, is really the most i'm
,ortant branch of farming, for not
My is the percentage of profit re
ceived from land, labor and cattle in
vested in stock raising much higher
than from crop growing, but stock
raising increases the profits of crop
growing. Without stock raising we
cannot havea complete system of az
riculture. There never was better
time than now to engage in tsock
raising. The increase in the number
of cattle has been falling behind the
increase in population for several
years, in some years there has been
an actual decrease in the number of
cattle. 1t is almost certain that the
breeding herds of Europe will be sac
rifced during the present war and
for years to come all of Europe will
have to depend upon the United States
for larger proportion of their meat
than ever before.
Believing that the Introduction of
some pure bred cattle into this sec
ton would stimulate the interest in
cattle raising, the Central of Georgia
offered pure bred Shorthorn bulls as

WOMEN To HOLD
A GOOD ROADS
MEETING

Washington, D. c., Sept. Two
men are more vitality concerned in
the good roads movement than are
men, declared Mrs. Robert Baker,
Chairman of the Woman's Depart
ment of the American Highway AS
ISOLATION at Washington. The isola
ton and loneliness of farm life, cut
off for months each year from COM
munication with the outside world,
because of impossible roads, falls
most heavily upon the women of the
household. The young escape it by
moving to the cities but the wives
and mothers must endure it. Schools
and churches can only develop their
field of usefulness when they are
made accessible to the contiguous
population. Next to the home, the
women should cherish and upbuild,
most of all the church and school,
and as a means of accomplishing
this, good roads are almost para
mount"
A conference of women from all
the states has been called to meet in
Atlanta, Georgia. on November 10 to
consider ways and means of making
the original efforts of women most
effective for the betterment of the
public roads. Many distinguished wo-
men will be present, among whom
are Miss Julia Lathrop, Chief of the
Children's Bureau, Mrs. Daisy Nc
Laurin- Stevens, President-General OF
the United Daughters of the Confeder-
acy; Mrs. Thomas M. Owen, Chair
man, Country Life Committee, Wo-
mans Department of the National
Civic Federation; Mrs. Chas. J. Ha-
den, of Georgia, and Mrs. Oscar Hun
dley, of Alabama. The national Ad-
visory Board of the Woman's Depart
ment includes, among other disting-
uished women, Miss Mabel Boardman
Mrs. William Cumming Story, Miss
Mary Johnston, Miss Julia Lathroo
Miss Jane Adams, Miss Elizabeth
Gentry, Mrs. Daisy McLaurin-S Stevens
and Miss Maude Wetmore.
The program for the Atlanta Cou.
ference comprises, in addition to ad-
dresses, a special demonstration OF
the government exhibit for the ladies
in attendance at the Conference, upon
which occasion the Didectors of the
U. S. Office of Public Roads will BIZ
host. A lecture illustrated by moving
pictures viii be given by j. e. Penny
hacker, Chief of The Division Of
Road Economics of the U. S. Office OF
Public Roads.
Mrs. Daisy McLauren-Stevens, who
typically represents the women o.
the South, has assured Mrs. Baker
that she will address the Convention
on the opening day, November 9.

i, e., the growing of winter cover
crops to add vegetable matter to the
soil, prevent the washing of soil on
the hill lands and the teaching out of
commercial fertilizers and plant food;
help commercial fertilizer to do its
work properly, and increase the stor-
age capacity of the soil for retaining
moisture during dry spells.
Anent Cover Crops.
The growing of vetch, burr clover
and crimson clover during the winter
months, in addition to doing all these
things, will add nitrogen to the soil
and this is the most expensive ele
ment Of plant food in commercial fer
tilizer. 1t is estimated that the
amount of nitrogen added to the soil
by a good crop of one of these leg
umes when turned under in the
spring is worth from SO to SIP an
acre. The agricultural department of
the Central of Georgia Railway has &
pamphlet for free distribution ex-
planning the advantages of winter
cover crops and telling how to grow
them.
AS cover crops will do much better
if the soil is lined and the ideal prac-
tice would be to Craze the cover crops
with live stock before turning them
under, the three things herein rec
commended form a combination of
lime, cover crops and live stock which
are worth careful consideration. The
farmer who will lime his soil, grow
winter cover crops and Craze them
with live stock is on the straight road.

CORN CAN Be GROWN
ON CANADIAN PRAIRIES

| Manitoba is now commencing to
produce considerable corn. chiefly for
feeding purposes In some cases,
where the crop can be matured into
the dough stage, silos could be used
and would be u profitable investment
According to the Farm and Ranch Re-
view, a correspondent visited field
of corn in southern Manitoba on Sep
TENDER Is. The corn then was un-
touched by frost and it stood on an
average eight and nine feet in height
The corn had developed into the
dough stage, and the crop would easily
exceed 20 tons TO the acre. At many
experimental farms, the same favor
able showing of the corn crop has
manifested itself. At the Brandon ex-
detrimental farm this year several va
rieties, all very good yielders, matured
into good silo corn
Considering the success with which
corn can be produced, and the advan-
lages to be gained by so producing 1t,
should not it receive the serious at
tention of the western agriculturist?
Corn is successfully grown in the
northern part OF Minnesota in SINH
lar soil and under the same climatic
condition, and there does not appear
to be any reason why like results
should not be secured in western Can
ada. 1t is the opinion of many Ameri-
can farmers of experience that the
corn belt is extending northward. Tho
prairie provinces must gradually take
up with mixed farming. More stock
on the farms must be raised and in
consequence farming must to some
extent be diverted from grain growing
to other necessary crops. If crops
suitable for wintering cattle and espe-
cially dairy stock are to be grown,
why should not corn be one Of these
crops? In Ontario and in the United
States we find it forms the main bulky
food for wintering beef and dairy cat
tie. They would not be without this
profitable plant. In fact. since its in
production almost twice as much stock
can be retained on the same amount
OF land. besides considering its great
value for keeping the land clean.
Some may say that many crops that
can be grown in Ontario and the
states cannot be grown here, but not

Malta to England, as we'll as most of

and the Alps. The plenipotentiaries,
deciding that further discussion would
be useless, declared the negotiations
at an end. and the allied armies pre-
pared to resume their march on Paris.
