THE LABOR SAVING
MACHINERY WANTED

ATHENS, Ga, Feb. 26.-Professor L.
c. Hart, head of the department OF
agricultural engineering of the Col
lege of Agriculture, has just returned
from a successful trip to Chicago. Pro-
lessor Hart is interested in introduce
ing modern and improved labor saving
machinery which is adapted to the
conditions found in the state, and while
III Chicago attended the meeting of the
National Association of Implement and
Vehicle Dealers. These manufacturers
were told by Prof Hart of the types of
implements adapted to Georgia farms
which should be introduced in the state
in greater numbers than ever before.
With the coming of the boil weeyil,
Georgia farmers will of necessity
avail themselves of every means of
continuing a successful agriculture,
and improved and labor saving farm
machinery is one of the most efficient
lelps which may be secured IN the pat
tie. More good machinery is being in
tIoduced into the state than ever be-
fore.
The college expects within a short
time to have an expert whose entire
time may be devoted to serving the
farmers throughout the state in the
way of giving aid in the selection OF
roper tools Both farmers in the
state and also dealers in farm machin-
cry and supplies should be acquainted
with the types Of machinery adopted t.
our conditions, and OF the saving
hich may be effected by lower labor
cost and by better work accomplished
through the use Of these implements.

Labor agents of northern factories
have worked among SOuther negroes
with a shrewd understanding of the
darkey's character. They have prom
ised him wages beyond the richest
dream of avarice. enticed him with
dreams of equality with white folks,
and pictured him riding with his bet
ters on railroad trains and eating at
the same table with white people in
restaurants.
Hundreds of negroes have yielded to
the tempting prospect and forsaken
their homes and white friends for UNI
tain employment in a colder climate.
but if the experience of the Atlanta
negroes is any criterion, it won't be
long before most of them will be trek

SOUTHERN STATES TO BE
BENEFITED BY NEW BILL

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 26.-Southern
states will derive great assistance
from the federal government under
the terms of the vocational education
bill which has just passed congress
and probably will be signed by Presi-
dent Wilson this week.
1t is a remarkable fact that this
bill, which was the first of the four
ADMINISTRATION measuder to pass con-
2ress, and as yet the only one of the
four. was introduced and put through
the house and senate by southern
men. Its author in the senate was
nited States Senator Hoke Smith of
Georgia. while in the house il was led
by Representative Dudley Hughes OF
Georgia. chairman of the house com
mittee on education.
The purpose of the bill is to provide
more thorough and specialized train
ing for agriculture and the various
industries, and to this end it makes
appropriations to the various states
in an ascending scale, which the
states will receive when they make
appropriations equal to the amounts
allotted to them.
Alabama will get 81 500 in 1917
and $4,000 thereafter; Florida will
get $4.tO0 this year and $500 there
after. Georgia will get $4,000 this
year and $2S.4O0 thereafter. South
Carolina will get $3.50 this year and
$4,000 hereafter.

COTTON VARIETIES
AND BOIL WEEvlL
EARLY MATURITY IMPORTANT
SOME LEADING YIELDS
ANDREW M. soULE, President Geor'
aia State College OF Agriculture


eia State College OF Agriculture
Unusual interest is evidenced in cot
ton planting seed this year due to the
fact that considerable part of Geor-
gia and other of the Gulf states have
been invaded by the weevil. 1t was
long ago demonstrated that early ma
turing varieties of cotton are essential
to combat this pest successfully On
this account the College of Agriculture
has conducted tests of the leading va
rieties of cotton in its demonstration
field at Athens and at other points
throughout the state for several years
past A summary of the results OBJ
tanned during the crop year 1916, as
prepared by Prof. l.. E. Rast, of the
agronomy division, is presented. We
believe that every one interested in
cotton production will study these re-
suits with great interest, as they re-
veal facts of Importance to planters
generally.

Forcing Cotton Maturity
For Boil WeeViI Conditions
JOHN r. FAM, Prof. Of Agronomy
Ga. State College Of Agriculture

Early maturity of cotton is essential
TO success in growing the crop under
boll weevil conditions. Aside from Sc
lecting a variety with earliness as a
Characteristic, it is important that the
plant be helped by every possible slim
ulant to set and mature its fruit at
the earliest possible date. Hence it
becomes important to fertilize with
this end in view.
Contributing to the early maturity
of a plant, PHOSPHORUS is of chief
importance. Therefore, to promote
early fruition of the cotton, an applica-
ton of phosphoric acid should be made,
generally speaking, about 400 pounds
to the acre.
If other forms are used the appli'
cation should be made in time and
condition should be such as to render
the PHOSPHORUS available at the prop
or time.
