WHAT some GEOR-
GIA And ALABAMA
LANDS Did IN 1916
BY Andrew M. Soule, Pres. Ga. State
College OF Agriculture


Reference has been made to the work
CT The test farms conducted cooper
atively by the Central of Georgia Rail
way and the State Colleges Of Agri-
culture at Athens, Ca, and Auburn,
Alabama. This work has now been in
progress five years, and in 1916 the
area embraced was 992 acres. The OBJ
ject Of these test farms, briefly stated,
is to show that the application of sci
entific principles to The cultivation of
the land in Georgia and Alabama would
increase the yields ordinarily obtain ed
by the average farmer, and that it is
possible through a rotation of crops to
increase the fertility Of these lands,
secure a larger return per acre, reduce
he amount Of man labor and increase
he horse labor.
1t appears that net profit of $21.3O
per acre was made on the total area
cultivated last year Man labor, horse
labor, fertilizers, rent Of land, cost of
seed and all costs Of making The crop
were charged against it.
II IS noteworthy that The longer
hcse farms have been operated the
greater has bee me he average in
come ana the less the average cost Of
the crop per acre, showing thai by
following The system of farming out
lined by The Colleges, the lands have
been built up. Some Of the test farms
IN 1916 Show loss, but every one is
familiar with the conditions which ob.
tanned during that season. The excess
slYe Hoods were responsible.
Credit for the large profit obtained
last year is due in part to the abnor-
nal price OF cotton, which sold on an
average for 177 cents per pound, and
the seed for $500 per ton. However.
even If cotton had been selling at
prices which have ruled for several
years past, the profit per acre on the
best managed test farms would still
have been very substantial Farmers
who desire to study in detail the re-
suits here briefly summarized can east
y secure copy of the test farm report
on application to the Agricultural De-
partment OF the Central OF Georgia
Railway, at Savannah.

Report of Wards.

The work of the first and third
ward Parent Teachers Association
has been much and varied this past
year. The two wards have com
bined under the leadership OF Mrs Eu-
gene keefer, who with her able corps
of helpers have done not only in
material way but donc much to bring
about that spirit of individual interest
among the mothers and teachers that
is so necessary for the success of the
work.
The meetings with suitable pro-
grams have been held the last Thurs
day OF each month at the school
building. They have an enrolment
OF twenty-seven working members.
They have had the fire escapes re-
paired, have started good play
ground for the children, furnishing
two grant strides, eight see-saws,
eight benches. besides furnishing two
good football. They gave Box
Social, also candy pull and then an
ice cream fete, the funds from these
affairs amounting to $5S5S. They
have paid for all improvements and
have nice little balance in the bank
against their work Tor next wear,
They wish to offer vote of thanks
to Mr. I. +. Britt and Mr.. Carney.
also Mr.. Watson for their willing as
siStance and to Mr. Drew for his
splendid cooperation. With a wears
work as base of experience all the
members feel that not only will they
have many more members, but be
better able to know how 10 accom-
