Attorney General S. =. Freeing, to-
day voted two to one not to adopt the
federal standard of grading wheat at

of the attorney general at the in
stance of the secretary of state, was
attended by number of millers, grain
men and representatives of farmers.
John Simpson of Weatherford, presl-
dent of the oklahoma branch of the
Farmers Educational and Co-opera-
tive Union of America, said that he
represented the sentiment of a meet
ing of more than three hundred farm

federal standard.
Mr.. Howard was willing. he said,
to put the federal standard in effect
on September 1, 1918, and made such
a motion, but this did not receive the

the commission.

adopting the government standard

CHICAGO, July Employment
of several hundred women as labor

weeks ago, has proven so successful
! that several large manufacturers are
considering adopting the plan. The
women range in age from IS to 40
years. receive 80 cents an hour and
work eight hours day.
The beginners are set TO work pull
ing nails out of boards and pushing
loaded handcars the first week. After
mat they are assigned to sorting nuts
and later to loading and unloading
iron bars. bolts, lumber and kegs or
nails ana general labor work.
Experience has shown that in tine
lighter tasks the women perform as
much work as men but in the heavier
lines one man will often do twice as
much work as a woman. About rs
per cent of the women who BEGAN
work at the plant remain, while the
others quit after a few days. The
women wear overalls.

FERTILIz|N(s LAND
after VELVET Beans
MUCH NEW INTEREST IN THIS
CROP IN BOIL WEEVIL
TERRITORY
BY ANDREW m. SoULE, President
Ga. State COLLEGE Of Agriculture

Ga. State College OF Agriculture
The question of fertilizing land on
which velvet beans were grown last
year will depend considerably on the
disposition made of the velvet bean
crop. The usual practice is to craze
cattle and hogs on the crop in the
field until late winter or early spring,
and then turn under the residue.
Where this is done the greater part OF
the fertilizing value in the crop is re-
turned to the land. Very often the
beans are harvested, and cattle grazed
on the vines and beans that were not
picked, and where this is done, a part
of the fertilizing value of the crop is
lost.
The velvet bean Is rank grower.
Especially is this true in the southern
part of the state, where the growing
season is long. The bean is legumi-
nous and gathers much nitrogen from
the air, which is stored in the plant
and if it is returned to the soil in
the manner stated above, the soil will
be enriched thereby. Under these con
ditions a great deal of nitrogen is not
required in the fertilizer used under
the following crop. Acid phosphate
can, however, be used to good advan
tage, and if it is desired to rush The
crop along very fast, one or two pei
cent of nitrogen in the fertilizer car
be used, such as 1912, or 1872 mix
ture.
One of the greatest benefits derived
from the velvet bean crop is the or
ganic matter, or humus, which it adds
to the soil, when the residue is turned
under, as above stated This greatly
improves all of our soils.

Stop The Big Leak
100000 A MONTH SPENT FOR
HORSES AND MULES CAN
BE SAVED.
BY NJ. p. JARNAGIN, Professor Oh
Animal Husbandry, Georgia State
College Of Agriculture.

Six years ago the animal husbandry
division of the State College OF Agri-
culture, at Athens. purchased u pair
of high grade Percheron mares for
$4,000. These animals have done
regular team work for six consecutive
seasons, and considering their extra
value for heavy hauling, it is believed
they have been worth as much in &C,
tual farm work as any pair OF mules
owned by the farm.
The idea of securing this team was
to demonstrate that farm workstocS
could be produced at home, and the
big leak" of S1,OO000O month for
the purchase of northern raised horses
and mules was useless waste. In the
six years these animals have raised
eight foals. Seven of them were sold,
in the main as colts, for the sum total
of $4,000, ard one filly retained on
the farm. x ~ e~S--c- ~
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1917-03-07

mares is a very valuable asset tc INC
owner. The mares are still sound and
are good workers, and both are again
safe in foal.
1t will be noticed this is striking
contrast to the showing made by the
the same amount of money, when it
is remembered the mares in addition
to doing the work of a pair of mules
have much more than twice overpaid
for themselves in the sale of colts
The mares were taken out OF WORK
10 days to 2 weeks before the foals
were born and were returned to work
when the colt was 10 days old. By
breeding the mares so as to drop the
colts before the rush of spring
work, this loss of time is negligible
in the course of the years work.
There are more than $4,000 mares
in the State of Georgia which should
be producing foals at the present time
Every one of the entire number should
be bred to sound registered draft stal
lions, or to big boned, strong jacks.
The College has assisted in creating
a greater interest in livestock produc
ton in the State than ever before
Much assistance has been rendered
citizens in the location of purebre(
animals, and in the formation OF club
: in various communities for the pur
chase and cooperative use of purebre'
sires.
