Dear Sir-While the street car sit

writer cannot refrain from giving the
general public few facts concerning
the speed with which this work is be-
ing performed. Wednesday OF this
week twenty-five feet of concrete

probably enough gravel ahead of the
mixer to lay twenty-five feet more,
and not another load of gravel in sight.
Two squares of concrete have been
put down in the south end of Sheri-

required to do the work. Five squares
remain to be put down. A little men

N. G. Heironimus was reelected

at the Baxter school house.
The Main street bridge question was
discussed by the members OF the asso-

taken. The matter was referred to
the public service committee OF
which James Unthank is chairman.
The committee will report at the
meeting to be held October Is.
The association seemed almost
unanimous In favor of the construc-

which should be built on the level
The question of the street car service
on the west side, which has been in
terrupted by the condemnation of
the Main street bridge. and the edict
that the Doran bridge is not strong
enough, was referred to the public
service committee without discussion.
The committee was instructed to con-
fer with the traction officials In an
effort to get better car service for
the west side.
The committee on public grounds
and buildings will begin work imme-
diately In devising a plan to utilize
the $1,000, which was appropriated by
the city council last fall for the bene-

the money, but 1t is probable that It

The Social Service bureau is now
conducting the campaign to raise at
least $4,000 for the work during next
year. Because of the fact that much
of the Office expense of the bureau
was covered by this years budget,
it was found possible to reduce the
budget from $2,689 to $4,000 for the
coming year. The Domestic Science
association asks for an increase of
5000 over the expenditures of last
year. This is made necessary on &C.
count of the visiting nurses.

GEORGIA'S SUPERIOR CORN

Those who have purchased corn
from the West have often found that
it has heated in transit and is in a
moldy condition and therefore unfit
for food. Stomach staggers and sim
liar diseases are largely due to feed
ing moldy or rotten corn.
This heating of corn is due to a
very considerable extent to the high
moisture content of the grain. At the
State College of Agriculture consid-
cradle number of samples of corn
have been tested for moisture con-
tent during several years past. An
examination of these samples reveal
ed the fact that the majority ranged
between 10 and Is per cent in moist
ure content. With this data in hand
1t has been decided that II per cent

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

suit the various requirements of, farm.
ers of Georgia. Types of these build
ings are to be seen on the farm of
the College of Agriculture at Athens.
Principally from those who have seen
these barns and other buildings have
come the demands for blue prints of
the plans.
1t has not been possible to pro-
vide these plans promptly. Cloudy
weather prevents. the development Of
the blue prints and at times consider
able delay is experienced on this &C
count.
On account of some of the building
materials being cheaper now than
they have been for some time, it
would appear to be a suitable time
to construct farm buildings.

Reseeding Alfalfa
John r. Fain, Professor OF Agronomy,
Georgia State College OF Aari.

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
poffcy to pursue with reference to the
rand 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.
1t is probable that as much hay
will 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
falfa a start, and cutting at the right
time will have much to do with max
ing a continued success of the plant.
