WHAT AN ACRE OF
PIEDMONT SOIL CAN DO
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College OF Agriculture.

An acre of Cecil clay soil typical of
the Piedmont region of Georgia, which
was quite poor a few years ago. but
IS in process Of being built up, illus
trates fairly what can be accomplish
ed by any farmer on an equal quality
Of soil. This acre is located on the
College farm. Fertilizer running 10
3-3 has been used on the land at
the rate of about 300 pounds an acre
per crop. 1t is a soil of only fair fer
tility and is taken on that account.
This acre was planted TO cabbage
and Irish potatoes. About 5000 cab
bage plants were set out, but, of
course, some of them failed to head
A smaller area was used for the pota-
toes. The cabbage crop was sold re-
tail and wholesale, and brought in
gross receipts of $40. The Irish pota-
toes were sold at 81 per bushel and
brought in $1,000
After the cabbage and the potatoes
had been removed the acre was plant
ed to corn. During the roasung-ear
pEl4DA' +-DsyD VI Ears " tEt SDl0 from
the area and the remainder Of the
ears were left TO mature, yielding 40
bushels Of corn. In addition, a ton
and a half Of corn stoyer were gather
ed from the acre, which is being fed
to the stock. Alter the corn crop was
harvested oats were sown.
Thus it VIII be seen that SO in
actual cash was received from sale
from the acre, and that enough corn
and stoyer was obtained, in addition
to more than cover all the expense.
so that the So may be CONSIDERED a
net profit. Many truckers have done
and can do better than this with
an acre Of land But this represents
more nearly what is possible for the
average farmer who wants TO diversity
his activities and especially who wants
to give intensive cultivation TO some
small area for the production OF home
supplies along with a salable money
crop Of the same sort. Let US con
cenuate our energy on smaller areas
OF land, fertilize, cultivate and handle
to better advantage and so build them
up as to enable the production of fair
average crops of a variety of things
which the market demands and the
land owner needs for the proper sus-
tenance of his own family.

A Substitute For
Cotton Seed Meal
Milton P. Jarnagin, Professor Animal
Husbandry, Ga. College Of Agri.

With cotton seed meal selling
around $40 per ton, it becomes a very
expensive concentrate for fattening
beef animals this year Corn is being
sold in Georgia from IS to IS cents
per bushel. With corn as high as $1.0O
per bushel, it can be profitably fed
within proper limits in the ration.
Therefore, corn can very well take the
place of a part of the cotton seed
meal while present prices hold. Corn
has 66.S per cent digestible carbohy-
drates and 4.3 per cent fat, while cot
ton seed meal contains 214 per cent
digestible carbohydrates and SO per
cent of fat Corn is more effective in
finishing cattle for the market, and
at present prices has quite an adyan-
tage over cotton seed meal
Those Georgia farmers who have
started into the feeding of beef cattle
and have been depending upon cotton
seed meal as the chief concentrate
should look about them and see if
they cannot buy Georgia corn at a
price that will make it justifiable to
supplant in part cotton seed meal with
corn.
In this connection, it will be peril
nent to say that rs per cent of the
feed of the dairy herd at the College
is now corn cob meal, that is, ear
corn all ground into a meal

REACHING A MAN
IN The FIELD
Andrew Nj Soule, President Georgia
State College OF Agriculture.

Extension Teaching" is the term
commonly applied TO carrying agricul-
tural information out from an agricul-
tural college to the farmer. Extension
teaching would soon end in failure if
a college did not prove that it had
practical knowledge TO give to the
farmer. During the last eight years
the Georgia State College Of AgricuI-
ture has been doing extension teach
ing, that is, it has been going out to
meet the farmer in institutes, field
meetings, farmers schools, educational
trains, etc. The figures will tell the
story more forcibly than words wheth-
er or not the farmers OF Georgia arc
finding the services Of the College ac-
ceptable or not.
In the last eight years 5,179 extern
sion schools, field and miscellaneous
meetings have been held through the

ment, in cooperation with railroads.

Preventing Worms In Fruit
T. II. Mediation, Professor HorticuI
ture Georgia College OF Agriculture

Spraying with aTsenate of lead at
the proper time will control the cur
culio which causes worms in peaches,
and the cooling moth which produces
worms in apples.
The spray material should be made
by taking from l to pounds of pow
dered arsenate of lead, or from = to
3 pounds of aTsenate lead paste, and
putting it in so gallons of water 1t is
advisable to slake 2 pounds of stone
lime and also put in the solution The
arsenate of lead and lime will make
a suspension or settle if not agitated.
The curculio which lays the eggs
that hatch the worms that infest
peaches, attack the little peaches
about the time the shuck be-
gins to burst or at the time the peach
is about the size of a pea, 1t is then
that the arsenate of lead should be
sprayed. Delay spraying week or
ten days and there will be many
wormy peaches. The spraying should
be repeated in three weeks.
For the codling moth that causes
worms in apples, spray with arsenate
Of lead just after the petals fall and
while the tiny apples still stand up
straight Repeat the spraying in three
weeks.

Early Matching
Means Winter Eggs

More eggs can be obtained in the
late fall and early winter when the
prices are highest by Matching the
young chicks early. Pullets of the
heavier breeds, as the Plymouth
Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, Wyan-
dottes and Orpingtons, begin laying
when about six months old. They
should be Matched during February in
Georgia. The smaller breeds, such
as the Leghorns, Anconas and Minor
cas-, begin laying in a shorter time,
about five months, and should be
Matched during the month of March.
1t pays to hatch early, feed well and
have the young birds matured and
laying when next winters highest
prices are paid for eggs.
The male birds should be mated
with the females at least two weeks
before eggs are saved for Matching.
Small, weak or sickly birds should be
culled out of the breeding flock. Only
healthy, vigorous males and females,
with well developed heads and bodies,
should be used. Low vitality parents
mean low vitality chicks, larger
number of infertile eggs, dead chicks
in the shell, weak, crippled chicks and
chicks that die soon after being
Matched. Stronger chicks are obtain
ed from hens than from pullets, the
best mating being yearling hens and
matured cockereIs

ZEEBRUGGE SHIT
BY THE MACHINES
Of THE ENTENTE

The Germans claim today to have re-
pulsed a French attack on Vaux, heavy
insses being sustained by the attack
ing infantry, according to Berlin de-
spatches.
The French claim to have repulsed
German attacks on Pepper Hill, near
Eordun, but Paris dispatches are silent
regarding operations about vaux.
From other sources it is learned
there is increasing artillery activity
is the vicinity of Malincourt, but in
fantry attacks have not been under
taken in that sector.
The report that French troops have
taken the initiative on the Balkan
peninsula has shifted considerable at
teEtion to events in that region, and
heavy fighting in the country about
SaloniH is predicted at an early date.
Berlin dispatches late this afternoon
state the Russians attacked along 4
considerable front near the northern
part Of the eastern line during today,
the attacks being repulsed with heavy
losses. The fighting in that section
continued at nightfall.
