10000 Boys In Clubs
Nearly 10000 Georgia boys belong
| to agricultural clubs in Georgia, in
Guiding the Boys Corn Clubs, the
Boys Pig Clubs. the Boys Four Crop
| Clubs and similar organizations.
Georgia's average yield of corn per
acre has increased nearly five bush
els to the acre since the Boys Corn
1 Clubs were organized in Georgia and
to these clubs the increase is largely
attributed. The greatest yield ever
made in Georgia was that of Ben
Leath in Walker county, 1911. His
record is 214 bushels to the acre.
The corn club boys who made re-
ports during the year ending June 3d.
1916, made an average of As bushels
to the acre at a cost of AZ cents per
bushel as against the general average
yield Of the state Of Is bushels.
Seats Other States In Pig Club Results
According TO reports of all pig clubs
In the United States, Georgia leads
In largest net profit per pig and low
est cost OF producing gain, excelling
such corn states as Indiana, Nebras-
ka and Kentucky. Georgia club boys
have purebred pigs for one thing. The
purebreds and low cost of feed netted
an average of $2077 profit per pig at
a cost of 20 cents per pound of gain.
Moving Pictures Used
A novelty in extension work among
farmers in Georgia and in $he United
States is the movies. A complete
power outfit of engine, dynamo and
moving picture apparatus is carried
out to school houses in the country
on an auto truck. The very. best of
results as to pictures are obtained.
Vast crowds swarm to see the agri-
cultural pictures, many to see movies
for the first time.
Field Specialists Visit Farmers
No more important work is done
than that which is conducted by spe-
cialists who go out from the College
of Agriculture and come in touch with
the farmers andahelp them solve their
problems. Through these specialists
demonstration work is done in beef
production such as right feeding, con
struction of silos, planting feed crops,
introduction of purebred animals for
breeding stock, the organization of
livestock clubs and holding of live
stock meetings.

PLANTING WAITS IN MANY
PLACES OWING TO RAINS

General crop reports from
throughout the Northwestern
wheat and corn belt, according to
a survey based on reports from
a score of the growing sections
indicate general optimistic sem
tiinent prevails among the agri-
culturists although in most sec
tons the crop is from two to
three weeks late. Because of the
heavy rains of the heavy rains Of
the last fortnight. acreage for
wheat has been curtailed from 10
to 20 per cent with a much great
err curtailment in the amount Of
corn planted, but reports from
the Dakotas where the greatest
quantity of the Northwest wheat
is raised indicate there is nothing
to be looked for in the way of bet
tering conditions there.
Good weather from now on will
save the North Dakota wheat, do
great things for the corn planters
and allow the districts where the
ground is too wet for working
time to dry out and be planted.
In the rolling wheat districts all
over the Northwest, such wheat
as has been planted and has es-
capped the heavy drowning rains,
is reported to be sturdily rooted
and of good color with the best
outlook for heavy crop of good
quality.

have led to heavy acreages in 9TH

cr grains and barley and oat fields

promise llarvcsts in excess Of
those of last fall. Potatoes are
one of the favorite crops to which
the farmers have turned in many
sections, with the result there is
an increased acreage Of about so
per cent over that of d year ago.
Seeding has been about three
fourths completed, with the back
ward districts merely awaiting
sunshine to dry out the low!ands
before getting out. Some Of the
grain planted has been s"wn hur-

has not been worked as we'll as it
might. but good growing weather
will largely set aside this difficult

ter wheat suffered considerable
damage from the excessive cold
and the late and wet spring, but
the extent of this damage cannot
be estimated until a few more

effect.
The outlook is much like that

would render it fairly safe from

Wheat, too, was backward last
year, and farmers and observers
who have been making study
of the conditions, assert that the
appearance of the 1916 crop today
compares very favorably with
that of 1915.
