SUPPRESSION OF H0G CHOLERA.

Remarkable results have been at
tanned this year in the suppression
of hog cholera by the state veteri-
nary department under the direction
of DR.. Peter F, Bahnsen. AS a re-
suit of the persistent and thorough
fl Id work directed toward the sup
preston of hog cholera, the losses for
1917 will not exceed per cent of
the total production in Georgia, In
19t4, these losses went as high as 30
per cent, while in 1916 they wen
per CENT, while in 1916 they went
above IS per cent These figures will
indicate the splendid progress that is
being made in the suppression of this
serious disease in the state.
The unusually high commercial
value of hogs at this time has demand
cd more thorough and more active
campaign against hog cholera than
ever before waged The United States
department of Agriculture, co-operat-
ing with the state veterinarian, is
now furnishing veterinarians, while
the State Department has four vet
erianarians in the field, making a
total of eleven who are engaged wholly
Ia the work of hog cholera control.
The results have been extraordinarily
gratifying and q tremendous saving
has been effected to the producers of
Georgia this year
The veterinary department DR. Balm
sen states, desires very earnestly to
caution the farmers against the time,
honored practice of placing brood
sows in peanut fields, because the
experience of the past has conclusive
ly shown that brood sows wintered
on peanut fields suffer from physical
breakdown during the late winter and
carly spring. One of the most fire.
quent symptoms in this connection is
( paralysis Of the hind quarters. Farm
ers should keep their brood sows out
Of the peanut fields.

the United States, Europe took second
place in selling goods to the United
States. Imports of $766,00O00 from
North America during the fiscal year
1917 were greater by $156,000,000
than the imports from Europe The
increase in purchases from North
American countries was due largely
o the greater value Of sugar purchas-
ca from Cuba. Imports from South
America and Asia showed a gain Of
100 per cent over 1914.
In order to retain the advantages
Gained by aggressive business methods
and honest dealings, the bureau is
engaged in efforts to furnish reliable
Gata on all commercial subjects and
also to aid American commercial ac-
gyity in every foreign field. The
corps of special agents employed to
investigate specialized lines in various
countries has been doubled and now
numbers 26. Their activities have ex-
tended into South Africa, New Yea
land, Australia and Oriental countries.
Much information has been gathered
and assorted by the bureau for the
benefit of. American manufacturers.
i separate division for handling far
eastern affairs has been organized, to
promote commerce with nations there
as the Latin-American division has
trade with American re-
publics.

The Department of Agriculture
again desires to call attention of the
farmers of the state that it has pre-
pared and will continue to furnish
them all the nitrogen producing bac-
taria they need for their leguminous
crops at 20 cents per acre. which is
practically the cost of production. The
department recommends the use of
bacteria in the treatment of seed for
all leguminous crops. such as peas.
beans, alfalfa and the like, Producers
applying to the department for these
bacteria cultures should notify the
department as to the exact nature Of
the crop to be planted, in order that
the particular culture suited to the
crop may be sent.

AN OPPORTUNITY.

situation in the South, and who is
well qualified to grasp the opportuni-
ties that exist here, has presented his
views upon the possibilities of flax
growing in this section in compre-
Lensive article published in the Manu-
facturers Record. Mr. Kelsey says
the country is now building vast
number Of airplanes, and the industry
may be reasonably expected to rival
the automobile industry in growth,
even after the war stimulus is remov-
ed. Linen is the only fabric which
has been found to give entire salts
ton for the wing covering of airplanes,
and an Enormous yardage of this tex
tile will be required to complete our
air program
Where viii we get this linen?
Examination shows that we are
in much the same situation on this
point that we were with regard to
synthetic dyes at the beginning of the
war
Starting kith the growing of raw
flax, we find that Russia raises three
fourth of the worlds supply, with
Austria-Hungary and France next in
order of acreage. Russia may be fore
oil into an economic union against
the Allies, Austria-Hungary win GER
tainly be against us, and Frances in
dustry will require years to recover
from the damage Of The war.
If conditions are bad with respect
to the growing of fax, they are little
better with respect to spinning. The
United Kingdom has 1,161,&47 spindles. /
Of which about one million are in

fiber, and France imports no less than
fcur-fifths Of hers. Thus, directly
and indirectly, we are dependent on
badly crippled and enemy nations for
this vital necessity.
What is the commercial tspect OF
the problem? Is the industry not OF
sufficient magnitude to be supported
in this country, or are conditions un-
favorable?
In the answer to the first question,
it may be replied that in the fiscal
year 1918 we imported fax fiber to
the extent of $3,95o,02O and linen
goods to the extent of $2S,2OS.944
The second question can be an
swered by saying that fax requires a
cool, damp climate and a well-drained
loan soil. These conditions are rou:,d
in several parts of the country, and
re-eminently in the Southern Appa-
Iachian region. To be more specific,
we refer to the large valleys in the
mountains of Kentucky. Southwest
Virginia, East Tennessee and western
North Carolina. A considerable
amount of fax was raised in this re-
2ion by the first settlers, and found
local use for garments No attempt
was made to grow the crop on a com
mercial scale
Flax fiber grown in the Puget Sound
region and sent to ireland compared
fayorably with the best Belgian pro-
duct. certain amount of fax of
good quality is raised in Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota, Climate
conditions in these states are strik-
ingly similar to those of certain parts
ot the Southern Appalachians.

furnish the nation necessity and a
new and valuable industry. VIII it
