THE Rural Progress Convention

the fact that in every community are
numerous organisations that may b

building. While tAese forces have
various names and their primary oh.

nevertheless have - their ultimate
ends the development Of local re-
sources. Cattle breeders may organ
ixe to establish standards for certain
breeds which they sesk to propagate.
and to that extent may appear to b
sel6shly interested. But chambers Of
commerce have sought to accomplish
the same ends In their communities
By the Introduction OF pure bred sires
and dams Farmers may organise to
protect Themselves from the extor-
tions Of dishonest commission men:
city boards OF trade have themselves
brought the commission men within

Summer School Work
In Agriculture

John r. Fain, Professor of Agronomy,
Ga. State College OF Agriculture.
In connection with the Summer
School for Teachers conducted at the
University of Georgia, June 28th-July
81, course will be offered in agri-
culture, one part of which is designed
to meet the needs of teachers in ele-
mentary grades of the public schools
and the other for high school teach
ers.
The general outline Of the state
textbook in agriculture will be fol-
lowed, but special emphasis will be
given to experiments to be carried
on by students in the school garden
Excursions will be made to the vari-
GUS parts of the College farm, and
the laboratories of different depart
ments will be utilized in studying vari-
GUS laboratory experiments.
In the high school work special en-
phasis will be laid upon experiments
or laboratory work to be carried out
in connection with texts and more ad-
vanced work will be taken up than
that outlined in the elementary work.

Four groups of hens of different
breeds have been under a 59-day test
at the College of Agriculture in which
the relative cost of feed care and re,
turns has been figured in terms of a
year. Not until years results are
obtained, Of course, can the actual an,
nual performance of the birds be
known for years period.
Thirty Rhode Island Reds, two
years old, cost at the rate of $11O
per year for mash, 40 cents for
scratch feed, so cents labor or total
cost of $500. The average number of
eggs per year estimated on the So
day test is 26645, which at rs cents
per dozen, would bring s5.55, leaving
a net profit of 1885 per hen.
A group of 80 White Leghorns, two
years old, consumed an average of
IA cents in mash per year, 40 cents
scratch feed, SO cents labor, total cost
$1.64. Average number of eggs per
year 1888, value $238, net profit per
hen "a cents.
A group of 100 White Leghorn pull

Fifteen Barred Plymouth Rocks, two
years old, averaged "A cents worth
of mash annually, 40 cents scratch
feed, labor so cents, total $164, aver
aged 151,47 eggs per year, value $315,
leaving net profit of $151 per year
per hen.
The birds used in the test were all
healthy, pure bred stock, kept in
good houses, given plenty of fresh wa
ter and food, and otherwise we'll man
aged
The feed in the test consisted of dry
mash of the following materials and
parts, corn meal 4, bran 6, shorts 5,
alfalfa meal 5, beef scraps 1, cotton
seed meal 2, clipped oats 2. The
scratch feed is made as follows
Cracked corn 2, oats l, wheat 1. The
mash is fed in hoppers and birds eat
at will. The scratch feed is fed in
deep litter, one handful to ten hens
in the morning and twice as much
in the evening. They are given

lawn clippings, winter cover crops,
etc, which have not been charged in

To plant something like fifty acres
to Bermuda, it is best to undertake
to use of sets. Secure a large guam
tity of roots, run them through an old
cutting box and fill wagon bed. Then
scatter them broadcast. Then run a
roller over the land so as to press
the sets into the soil. If the land has
been fallowed and is in good condi-
ton, the roots will take hold and
grow more rapidly than would other
wise be the case. If the field is
rough and broken, run burrows about
three feet apart and drop the sets
three to four inches in the row and
step on them in passing so as to press
them into the soil.

Establishing A Good Georgia Pasture
Pres Andrew NJ Soue Georgia State College of Agriculture

Bermuda grass from seed at the pres
ent time, as the supply of seed is rath-
er limited, and, therefore, costly, and
our experience in obtaining stands
from seed has not been nearly as sat
isfactory as from the use of sets.
The best thing to plant with Ber-
muda grass is Japan and bur clover.
The Japan should be sown in April at
the rate of 16 to Is pounds per acre.
Scatter broadcast over the land and
harrow into the soil incubation may
be desirable though not considered abb
solutely essential. In late August sow
bur clover, using thirty pounds or
more per acre in the bur and harrow
well into the ground. When sown in
the bur incubation is not considered
necessary.

There are several conventions to
take place over the state in the next
few days and you can rest assured that
the Americas Chamber of Commerce
will ask for everyone of them. We
have some reputation for handling con-
ventions. Let's make capital out of
this and get others. Conventions paw
big money, according to the United
States figures, which show that each
delegate to a convention averages
spending $40. This is true as statistics
compiled by the Atlanta Convention
Bureau have proven that this amount
is very conservative. Remember that
while you may not see direct results
from convention and it's delegates in
your store, still they spend money in
other WAYS, with the drug stores. bar
bers, and the like. They have to live so
you do get benefit in many ways from
conventions, but it comes in an indi-
rect way to you, but you get it all the
same.

NEW THREAT TO NEUTRALS.
Ships Face in Sea Zone Same Risks
as IL in Battle Line.

The Hague, Feb. 15.-The German
legation has again warned neutral yes
sells against entering the war area
around the British Isles as defined by
the German Admiralty, and to the
original note adds the following:
Since Germany, following the ex-
ample of Great Britain, declared as
war zone on and after Feb. is, Eng
lish and Irish waters, the British have
declared all the ports of England war
ports, and have justified the use OF
neutral flags on merchant vessels.
Germany, therefore, is again Obliged
to warn all neutral ships against en-
tering English coast waters after Feb.
IS-as from that date the German Ad-
miralty will prosecute the war with all
means at its disposal against British
war ports and British armed mer-
chant ships
