you SIS to Sc today, and almost
every article Of clothing you wear
has advanced IN proportion. If
they do not get it out Of you III
price, they cake it out in quality.
Your farm implements, the very
hammer and nails you use around
the stable, your actual food, in fact,
practically everything that enters
into your cost Of living and opera,
ting your farm, has gone sky high.
Again | ask, III the light Of these
facts, is 90 cent cotton anything
wonderful? 1t certainly is not,
Cotton has simply responded to
conditions and general demand just
as has every other commodity. Do
not let the idea that you have got
something remarkable carry you
away, Make foods along with your
cotton and you will continue to get
g good price for everything you
have to sell.
In the current market, reports /
note prominent London statisticians
have just reiterated their estimate
that the worlds consumption Of
cotton for the year 1867 would
be 14,750,000 bales. and that the
effect of this was to steady a dec
lining market in which cotton has
recently been made the football OF
speculation. If q $4,000, 900 bale
consumption estimate steadies the
market, what ought we have right
TO expect from an official govern
ment estimate yield if not more than
II 100000 bales? Here is deficit
Of 8, 250,00O bales, and if it was not
for speculation, cotton would not
only go to 20 cents and more, but
would stay there.

Two Grades
Piedmont Ground Limestone
Best Of Its Glass

Piedmont Ground Limestone is made from
the same stone as High Grade Pulverized
Limestone. Like all other ground limestone.
however, it is manufactured from the SCREEN
iugs from the Crusher. For this reason any
foreign matter like clay or dirt that adheres To-
the stone goes into the finished product. In
our case such impurities are negligible because
our stoneis naturally clean.
Piedmont Ground Limestone is coarser, I'M
dried, and more slowly available thar High
Grade Puvenzed Limestone.
Like all other ground Limestone it reqdires
larger application for equal results.
II is equal to any ground limestone in Geor-
gil except our High Grade Puverized Lime
stone II is superior to ordinary screenings
because it comes from quarry free from sand,
dirt or clay
It is used by only small percentage Of orr
customers as compared with High Grade Pull
verzed Limestone

Select Corn Seed
Early In The Fall
While Plant Is Still Growing And Can
Be Studied

10y e. RAsT, Georgia State College
OF Agriculture
The best place to get seed corn Is
in your own corn field. The time to
select it is while the stalk is still
growing in the field. Pass down be-
tween two rows and mark the stand
ard, high yielding plants, by tying
strips of cloth to them. When har-
vesting, have a barrel or box in the
wagon bed into which throw ears
from these plants to keep them sepa'
rate from those in the bed of the
wagon.
A medium sized, sturdy looking
plant on which are two or more good
ears, the variety being prolific. are
preferred for southern conditions. The
ears should be located about the mid
die or a little below the middle of
the stalk.
Experiments have revealed that the
practice of pulling fodder is quite in
furious to seed corn and that it re-
duces yields Of stalks from which
it is removed. Ears attached to long,
slender shanks are preferred. These
shanks weaken and allow the TAP OF
the ear to droop, so as to shed water
and also escape some of the damage
from birds. =
When the time comes to husk the
seed corn and select the best from
the collection, choose ears that have
a uniform diameter we'll down 10 the
tip. Extra large ears of the prolific
corn are usually produced at expense
of the total yield. Medium good sized
ears are more to be relied upon than
the extra large sized, however. Ears
likely to give best results are those
ON which the grains are well formed
to the very tip. \
If good results are obtained by Sc
lectirg seed in this way, the selection
from this strain should be kept up
each year until its best characteristics
have become fixed.
Hard fiinty kernels of any dent corn
have a higher feeding value and are
more resistant to the corn weevh. No
corn should be planted which does not
show 80 per cent termination. Put
ten kernels from an ear in box Of
sand. If 8 of the ten terminate, the
ear is worth planting But further
precaution can be taken by pulling
up the plants and noting which ears
have shown the best root development
in the termination test. 1t has been
shown that the ears showing best in
this regard yield best in the field.
The corn to be used for seed should
be shelled by hand to prevent the clip
ping of grains by shelter. Later on
something will be said about the breed
ing patch, planting by ear to row
method, detasselling and care of the
breeding patch.

Farm Changes
For Boil WeeviI
REIMBURSEMENT Requires Careful Plan.
ming To Be Safe
ANDREW M. souLE, President Ga.

ANDREW M. soULE, President Ga.
State College OF Agriculture.
Y Any system of safe farming, under
boil weeVil conditions should provide
that the cultivated area of the farm
should be so divided as to grow
enough corn to provide for family and
the live stock throughout the year.
The area will vary with the fertility
of the land, but on a two-horse farm
not less than ten, or. better still, TWEEN.
ty acres Of land should be devoted to
this crop. Enough land should be
devoted to oats and small grains to
meet home requirements.
If the oats are properly handled
they will provide some grazing. A
great variety Of hay and forage-pro-
ducing crops can be grown successful
ly after oats, but it is important to
remember that the cultivation of le-
gumes should be emphasized because
of their ability to gather nitrogen from
the air.
Certainly, the farmer should provide
all the meat needed for his family
There is no reason why two to six
brood sows should not be maintained
on the average two-horse farm. Graz
ing crops should be depended on to
provide the food needed for the growth
and fattening Of young pigs. They
can be hardened OF with little corn
in the fall and very choice quality
OF meat obtained
A small flock of hens will provide
all the eggs needed and leave sur
plus for sale. Probably no class Of
meat is in greater demand in towns
and cities than chickens.
Every wise farmer will keep at least
two COWS SO that his family will be
supplied with an abundance Of milk
and butter at all seasons of the year.
Then If he will keep couple of brood
mares and raise q colt or two each
year, he can maintain his work stock
on an efficient basis. Next the farmer
should provide a garden. A half acre
Of land will produce all the vegetables
which a family Of six can possibly eat,
and II a proper rotation is established
and the garden well fortified and han
died, fresh vegetables may be had at
almost any season Of the year. There
is probably no section which will pro
duce greater variety of vegetables
with greater ease than the southeast.
