The merchant and the city man
have encouraged the farmer of the
South to diversity his crops. 1t would
now seem essential that they aid him
in finding a satisfactory market for
what he raises. While farmers Of the
South cannot be expected to soon
raise, for instance, enough grain to
make it worth while to construct
warehouses and elevators, it would
seem possible for the merchants to
co operate, grade and ship in carload
lots to the advantage of all parties
concerned.
Should merchant feel that he does
not want to disturb his connection
with organizations that supply him
western hay and grain, he must then
cease doing business with the farmer
who has his diversified farm products
for sale, which he will hardly want to
do if the movement is Of any conse-
quence in his community.
1t is doubtless true that the farm
er does not know how to grade and
pack his products for the market It
will be impossible to teach him imme.
diateiy, do what we may Therefore,
as has been suggested, the merchant
who takes the products may do the
grading and find it worth while. Of
course, a greater part Of the farm

PecanCultureIDGsorgia Variety Tests With Corn
J. w. Firor, Adjunct-Professor OF F4or-
ticuItuTe, Georgia State College
Of Agriculture

A bulletin has just been issued by
the Georgia State College Of Agricul-
ture on Pecan Culture in Georgia, the
purpose of which has been to set forth
briefly and plainly the most important
features of successful pecan culture
in Georgia. It is issued in answer to
a Widespread demand for information
on. the subject within the state. The
College is conducting experiments in
necan growing, about which it will
eventually report. The present bulle-
tin is designed to provide general in
formation about varieties, best cultu-
raj methods, protection from diseases
and insects, marketing, etc. 1t can
he obtained free by writing to the
college. Every Georgia farmer can
grow at least q few trees.
Some of the records of individual
trees and orchards are given and
nrobable income is discussed.

The Merchant Must Find
A Market For The Farmer
Pres Andrew M soue Georgia State College Of Agriculture

produce that the Southern farmer
will have for sale, will be turned
over to the country merchant in ex-
change for goods. The merchant gets
profit off Of his goods, Of course,
and if he then win grade and pack
properly for the market, as he can
with several commodities, he viii be
in position to make another profitable
transaction.
Much can be accomplished both IN
aid Of diversification and in market
ing, by boards Of trades Of towns
and cities. Why should they not
make a census Of the possible produce
for sale in given trade radius, OBJ
tain the cooperation of merchants or
farmers for large shipments and di-
rect attention of the large dealers to
the business to be obtained? Why
should trade organizations not SYSTEM
atically wage campaign of education
about grading and marketing definite
crops suited to a given area?
The State College Of Agriculture has
the information, it is perfectly willing
to do everything in It's power but Its
resources are, of course, limited and,
only through cooperation with local
organized agencies can it accomplish
the largest amount of good. This CO.
operation 1t welcomes to the end alone

work

Land intended for corn should be
thoroughly prepared. Deep plowing
to accommodate the deep root system
of the plant is advisable. 1t is essen
tial that organic matter be added to
Georgia soils either in the form of
green manuring or as barnyard man
ure or in the form Of leaves and lit
ter from the woods, or in compost.
This gives not only protection against
drouth, but the decay adds humus and
plant food
Corn requires a soil rich in nitro
gen. One hundred bushels Of corn
removes from the soil about $50
pounds Of this element. At the time
of planting apply not less than 500
pounds per acre of a fertilizer analyz-
ing four per cent organic nitrogen, 8
per cent phosphoric acid and two OF
three per cent potash. If potash IS
not available from Germany, unleach-
ed wood ashes or cotton seed meal

Incubation And
Brooding Of Chicks
Roy F. irwin, Poultryman, Georgia
state College Of Agriculture.

Hatch the chicks early by use OF
the incubator. Early-hatched birds
are strong and lay eggs in the fall
and winter when the price is high.
Late-hatched birds do not amount to
much as layers They are weaker and
not successful as money-makers.
How to get the chicks Matched IN
the winter and how to take care OF
them is the subject of bulletin just
issued by the College Of Agriculture,
which can be obtained by merely writ
ing for it.
It is possible for this state to pro
duce its own chickens and eggs and
have some to sell. Those who would
enter the poultry business and sue
coed must have special knowledge.
The best information should De oD-
tanned from bulletins and other publi-
cations.

GEORGIA'S SUPERIOR CORN
Pres Andrew M soue Georgia State College Of Agriculture

moisture would be a proper allowance
for Number One Georgia grown corn.
This standard for Georgia is 8
per cent under that which is allowed
to govern Number One corn in the
general markets Of the country Gen
orally speaking southern grown corn
has lower moisture content and as
against western corn, Is less subject
to heating and moldiiig. Gathered
with the came degree Of care. south
ern corn will be a better corn for tho
trade than western corn.
Varieties of corn differ in moisture
content. Farmers should select corn
with grains fairly firm and finty,
closely packed on a small cob. These
resist moisture to the best advantage.
Georgia farmers have a handicap
over the Western farmer and should
find no trouble in disposing Of their
corn to advantage.

Increasing The Corn Yield In Georgia
Pres Andrew Nj soue Georgia State College Of Agriculture

may be of some assistance in this
respect. A side application OF fertll-
izer of the same analysis should be
made at the rate of about 200 pounds
to the acre about six weeks after
planting.
But ii the land is carefully prepar-
cd and literally fertilized, it does not
follow that there will be a good crop
unless the seed are well selected and
proper cultivation is given. Obtain
seed Of a variety that has done well
in your locality, test the seed for
termination strength and plant seed
only from ears showing high record in
termination.
Give frequent, shallow cultivation
TIL the ear is fully developed. Cult,
walton is often stopped at the wrong
tine. Deep blowing during cuitiva,
TIN destroys roots and does much in
Jury. 1t is therefore important that
on-y shallow cultivation be given and
that mulch be maintained as con
stantly as possible between the rows.

According to statistics which have

Department of Agriculture, there were
125,00O horses in Georgia at the be.
ginning Of the present year. It is
reasonable to figure that one-half Of
these are females. It is also within
the bounds of reason to figure that
these mares are capable Of so per

Reseeding Alfalfa
John r. Fain, Professor OF Agronory,
Georgia State College Of Agrl'


Many patches Of alfalfa sown dur
ing the fall Of 1914 were killed by
the November freeze. Inquiry has
been made as to whether these patch
es can be reseeded in the spring.
While a stand can be obtained in
spring, as rule, it is not as long
lived when sown in the spring as
when sown in the fall The better
policy to pursue with reference to the
land on which the alfalfa has been
killed, is to seed to COW peas, get a
crop Of hay off Of the land In the
summer and then SOW alfalfa again
on the pea stubble in the fall.
It is probable that as much hay
viii be obtained from the COW peas
this year as will be obtained from
spring sown alfalfa. Moreover the
alfalfa that would be sown in the fall
after the COW peas, would come along
better, in all probability, than the
spring sown alfalfa for next years
crops.
Farmers who are trying to start to
growing alfalfa must not be discour-
aged with the unusual experience of
last fall. A good seed bed, good
drainage and incubation will give al
faIfa start, and cutting at the right
time win have much to do with max.
ing continued success Of the plant.

Cholera Serum Reduced
Or. w. M. Burson, Prof. Vet. Science,
Ga. State College Of Agriculture.

Beginning with January l, 1915, the
price Of hog cholera serum manufac-
tured by the state at the College of
Agriculture was reduced SO that it
now sells at Ia cents per cubic
centiIneter instead Of / IL cents. The
new price is just half what it was in
1912, when it was first offered for
sale by the state.
Recent reports of demonstration
agents in Georgia who administered
hog cholera serum show 212 herds
treated. Cholera already existed
in these herds. In fact, 410 hogs
had Gied CT the disease before the Sc
rum was administered. and 447 were
sick of it when treated. The total sick
and well treated was 6.629. OF this
number 1886 died after treatment. The
percentage lost was 500 and the per-
centage saved was 94.91.

growth. Sorghum alone or in com
bination with COW peas, provide q
splendid summer hay crop. When
sown alone It should be sown thickly
so that the stalk will be as small
as possible.
When corn is gathered at the right
time and shredded it forms a rough
age nearly equal to timothy in feeding
value. This valuable feeding mate
rial is very generally allowed to so
to waste in she South.
OF course many legumes do well Ia
Georgia, but legume hay fed with
out association with other roughage
makes too rich protein food, and
live stock do not do so well on it.
Georgia need not be dependent upon
the west for hay. It can and should
grow its own roughage, Many times
more animals can be supported on
homegrown feeds than are now bel
ing raised. The more animals fed,
the more fertile the acres will be and
the more permanently successful win
be the agriculture Of the state
This is the year to begin to grow
all the feed fer the animals on the
farm, and the time to grow vastly
more of human food than has ever
been grown in Georgia.
