PLANTING FOR HOME SUPPLIES
Andrew M soule. President Georgia State College Of
Agriculture.

Of live stock, then only fifty bushels
of corn would be required. Figuring
the corn TO yield on the basis of TWEEN
ty-eight bushels to the acre, 2 IL to
5 acres Of corn should be grown for
each head Of live stock, Remember
that the cornstalks if harvested will
provide good food for both horses
and cattle.
AS to hay, that from cowpeas, cow
peas and millet or cowpeas and sor-
ghum cannot be excelled under aver
age conditions prevailing in Georgia.
OF course, excellent hay can be made
from cutting oats in the dough stage.
For COWS an abundance of clean
roughage should be provided, Corn
stalks, sorghum fodder, cowpeas and
millet, soy beans or any other forage
crop can be used to advantage with
this class Of animals. While little
corn can be fed to some advantage to-
the few milk cows maintained on the
average farm, we are disposed to
think that the cotton seed should be
exchanged for meal and fed to- this
class of animals, and that this prac-
tice will nearly always be found Of
advantage to the farmer.

Few more important questions are
confronting the farmers OF Georgia
than how to utilize fertilizers to the
greatest advantage. In attempting to
answer this question tests plats are
being conducted in various parts of
the state and on different types of
soil. Three years results have been
obtained.
In south Georgia eleven distinctive
areas are being used and the, data has
reference to corn. cotton and oats.
The work with each crop is duplicated
for accuracy Of results.
No fertilizer is used on the first
plat. Muriate of potash has been APP
piled on the second plat at the rate
of 100 pounds per acre; acid phos-
phate on the third plat at the rate OF
400 pounds per acre; nitrogen derived
from dried blood and applied at the
rate of 1870 pounds per acre on the
fourth plat; the fifth plat was fertiliz-
ed with phosphoric acid and potash;
the sixth plat with nitrogen and pot
ash; the seventh plat with nitrogen
and phosphoric acid; the eighth plat
with nitrogen, phosphoric acid;
and potash, making a COM
pleter fertilizer the ninth
plat with rock phosphate at the rate
Of 5000 pounds per acre, and the
tenth plat with rock phosphate and
potash.
Observe that the complete fertilizer
consisted of 100 pounds Of muriate Of
potash, 400 pounds of acid phosphate
and $50 pounds Of dried blood, making
in all gross application of $50 pounds
per acre.
Comparatively little benefit has
been obtained from the use of potash
alone. Phosphoric acid alone has
been uncertain in its performance and
used independently would not have

How Much Potash Is
Needed In FertiIizing Crops?

John r. Faln, Professor OF Agronomy,
Ga. State College Of Agriculture.
Tests have been conducted for
three years on various soil types OF
Georgia, which shed some light on
the potash requirements of various
crops. Where potash alone was used
as a fertilizer, no results were OBJ
tanned from corn and oats, but cotton
showed a gain Of from so to 1OS
pounds of seed cotton per acre. These
tests were made in both north and
south Georgia,
In the experiments 100 pounds OF
potash were used per acre. Where
potash was used in combination with
other fertilizer elements, it gave bet
ter results, but not enough to pay
for it's application except for cot,
ton.
Fifteen different areas scattered
over the state were used in making
these tests. apd as many different
kinds of soils were used as possible
to make the results of general appli.
cabilitv TO the state.

8 FOOT ALLIGATOR
CAUGHT IN CREEK

Albany, Ca An eight-foot
alligator, that is believed to have
been routed from his native haunts
somewhere up the Kinchafoonee
or the Muckalee creek by the arm
les of fishermen that have been be-
ating the trails along their banks
for the past few days, was taken
in captivity recently when he drift
ed on the trash rocks at the dan,
OF the Albany power and Manufac-
turing company, just below. where
the two creeks come together, two
miles east of Albany.
Employees at the plant of the pow
er company, assisted by members
Of the section crew. employed near
the scene on the C. S. w. & G..
railroad, captured the gator first
with lassos and placed him in a pool
where three similar pet alligators
are kept at the plant, but soon he
made his escape and went back in
to the water. then was again eau
ght on the trash rock and taken a.
gain into captivity and placed in a
different and more secure pool,
where he is being held. ~

What Kind OF Fertilizer
Ought You To Use?
Pres Andrew M souIe Georgia State College Of Agriculture

paid profit on the application. Nj
trogen alone has also been erratic,
though it gave better results on corn,
oats and cotton than any other single
application, and would in most in
stances have more than paid for itself
When phosphoric acid and potash
were combined better results were OBJ
tanned than where they were used
separately. An increase of as much
as 159 pounds of cotton per acre re-
suited from this combination. When
nitrogen and potash were used to-
gether more distinctive increase was
shown than with any other combina-
ton used up to this time.
Where a. complete fertilizer was
used no better results we're obtained
with corn than with nitrogen and
phosphoric acid, Cotton, however,
showed some increase from the appli-
cation Of this fertilizer, amounting as
an average for all south Georgia to
SO3 pounds Of seed cotton per acre,
and on Triton sandy loan 264 pounds
per acre. The yield Of oats was in
creased from the use Of completer
fertilizer on all the test areas in south
Georgia by 7.22 bushels per acre, and
on Triton sandy loan by Is bushels
per acre.
These results would indicate that nj
trogen and phosphorus in the. quanti-
ties mentioned can be used with prof
1t on corn, cotton and oats on the
soil types in question, and also that a
complete fertilizer can be used with
advantage.
Comparatively little benefit was OBJ
tanned from the use Of rock phos-
phate or floats with any Of the crops
mentioned. This is just what we
might naturally anticipate, for it has
been pointed out repeatedly that
rock phosphate will only prove bene-
fetal when applied to soils contain
ing a large amount Of vegetable mat
ter.

Clubs, Ga. State College OF Ayr
Over five hundred boys have been
organized into pig clubs in Georgia
this year in the following counties.
Whitfield, Carroll, TroupeI Bihb, TAFT
nall, Appling, Coffee, Wayne, Berrien,
Lowndes, Brooks, Grady, Decatur and
Thomas. 1t has been impossible to
organize clubs in all the counties that
have asked for them.
The banks in some of the counties
have assisted in getting the clubs
started by loaning the boys money
with which to buy the pigs, the loan
to be repaid next fall.
Some of the banks are offering a
dollar deposit and small metal savings
banks to all boys in a county that car
ry the club work through.
A scarcity of pure bred pigs in the
state has made it impossible for every
applicant to qualify as full mem
Der, but those who do not are en-
rolled in the Ham and Bacon Club
and will be awarded prizes for best

OLIVER AND BOYD
THE SAME PERSON


A. D.. Oliver, the Climax and
Leesburg banker, and Z. 9. Boyd,
the Ashburn lrmberman, we're the
same person.
This is the statement Of Col.
I. r, Perry, Of Sylvester, who re-
pr esented Boyd at the time be was
arrested under warrant for cheat
ing and swindling sworn out by
Paulk, Gaskins Accompany. Col.
Perry says that he has several let
tiers and documentsin his possession
which prove beyond doubt that
Boyd and Oliver we're one and the
same.
Much confusion has been oceas-
Toned in newspaper accounts by
mixing the identity Of Boyd and
Harding. Harding was a partner
of Boyd's and they werein the lum-
Der brokerage business in Atlanta.
Boyd did not die in South Carolina
as was reported but after he went
to Mississippi took the name Of
Harding, his former partner.
There is little doubt that Boyd or
Oliver was really the man wanted
by the Mississippi authorities who
went under the name of Harding.
Another former partner Of Boyd's
lis said to be serving a term in Lea
venworth Federal prison for. his III
egal acts in connection with a prom
otion scheme.
There has been some doubt as to
the identity Of Oliver with Boyd
but the statement OF Col. Perry set
ties itas he was well acquainted
with Boyd and fairly well acquain-
ted with Oliver, who tried several
times to employ him and made no
secret of the fact that he was the
man who did business at Ashburn
under the name Of Boyd.
By way having the records strai-
ght, Col. Perry says it is only JUS
tice to justice Of the Peace Dudley
to state that when Boyd was ar
rested he did not fix his bond until
after midnight on Sunday night
and that c;tsb bond was put up,
Sheriff Jesse Paulk, of Irwin, did
not bring Boyd from Chattanooga.
Col. Perry accompanied Boyd to At
lanla, Knoxville and Chattanooga,
and brought him back to Ashburn,
although he did not Ito return.
1t was only byisome pressure and a
little vigilance that Boyd was brou-
ght back, but he was brought. The
train on which he and Col. Perry
returned passed the train on which
Col. Fulwood and shreiff Paulk
were going between Chattanooga
and Atlanta.
Boyd escaped about q week later.

South Carolina for him, bringing

LONG LOST SON
FOUND IN ARMY

ported drowned in the Galveston
flood.
Last week, the boy, now a corp
oral in the United States army,
wrote to his father from Fort Dade,
Fla, where heis stationed as a mem
Der Of the coast artillery.
For fifteen years he had been
given up as dead. He had remem-
bered only his name, and had for
gotten the city in which his father
lived, wherever he went he told
the story Of how he was lost and
was trying to find himself
Have you any idea who Am?'
he would ask.
His mother, as the report from
Galveston had said, persisted in the
flood. II WONDER he would say,
if my father has any notion that
I'm alive? Or is he living himself
He wondered about his fathers
appearance, manner, occupation;
and here, for the last few months
they have been living in adjoining
states-the son, at Fort Dade as a
corporal in the army; the father,
here ineAlbany as a member Of TIE
police force.
Only last week it was that Cor
poral Bush was lounging in quarter
at Fort Dade when man inlcivil-
ian dress walked in. The man hes
itated.

will.
Corporal Bush nodded.
Il heard about you the other day.
the man hurried or, his tone con-
fdent now. There are a lot Of
Bushes.in Columbus. They might
be your folks, Then, Of course,
they not. But I just thought I'd
drop in to tell you. And here's the
address,
Special delivery letters written
that day. A week more and Cor
poral Bush, the son, and III. E..
Bush, the father, had each written
to the other and received an answer,
and the mystery Of the Corporal
was cleared up.
Without doubt he is the fiye-ycar
old boy whom H. E. Bush, Of this
city, swung on a Texas bound train
fifteen years ago and since then
has mourned for dead. The soldier
son hasn't arrived here yet, but
he's expected il few DAYS to meet
his father, his half sister, ard his
stepmother.
H. E. Bush remembers all that
happened on the day his dead wife
and newly found son left Georgia
for Texas. He and his family were
living then in Columbus, and he
was a member of the Columbus
police force. His wife and his son
were going to Texas for a short
visit to relatives there.
A few days later came a massage
from his wife that they had arrived
in safety; then, almost on the heel
of this word Of. assurance, broke
the news of the flood. Hundreds
were killed, was the first announ-
cement, whole section was food
ed.
H. E. Bush took the first train
to Texas, and everywhere sought
news Of his wife and little son. He
employed detectives; and, with
their aid, for weeks continued the
search. It was fruitless. Nowhere
could he secure word Of his, missing
loved ones. Evidently, they were
among the unrecognized dead.
The father returned to Georgia.
The little boy who was to grow VI
into a man, wondering who

by a special act Of Providence. The
mother was dead.
