DO You Want TO Rgan Farm Labor
Out OF Georgia?


I LEGISLATION which policies public con
- duct and public places, is both legal and
desirable; but laws which seek to police pri-
vate conduct and private places-when such
conduct is not wrong in itself-is neither
legal nor desirable.
Bonehead legislation is injurious to a civil
lized community, and bonehead officers, en-
forcing such fanaticaI laws are simply ruin
Gus to the State.
Week before last, at midnight, some reye-
nue. officers, HEADED BY S. NJ. MOVE, without a
search warrant, broke down the door of an
old negro house, in Emanuel County, flashed
an electric light on the old darkey, and opened
fire on him.
They KILLED HIM!
For what?
Because they suspected that he had liquor in
the house.
1t doesn't at all matter whether he had the
alleged whlskey or not, the Killing ac0S MUIR
DER!
Why? Because the Supreme Law of the
United States, and of Georgia, protects a
mans habitation from search, unless war
rant be first sworn out before magistrate
What IS the matter with such lawyers as
those who voted for the bonehead legislation
of the last Extra Fantag?
Have they gone crazy, or have they lost
their manhood?
Negroes are tearing Georgia IN drores.
What citizen, black or white, is safe. when
his enemies can claim the authority of law
for breaking down his door, and shooting him
upon his own hearth?
When did your home cease to be your
castle?
Who is it that hasn't got enemies who
might take midnight advantage of that Ex-
tra-fantastic legislation of the lest Extra
fantags?
If lot Of the town and city fanatics. who
are driving the labor out of Georgia. were
federally conscripted and put to work they
might change their minds as to the merito-
rlous character of fantag legislation.
1t is both my duty and my right to preach
to my neighbor, urge him to live as correctly
as the Pharisee wants him to do and to legis-
latively prevent him from publicly doing
even innocent things which are calculated to
injure public health, habits, morality. and so
forth and so on.
But it is neither my duty nor my right, 10
follow my neighbor into his own house, force
my Phariseeism on him. and treat him like
criminal if he does not eat and drink my way.
This man Noye is q 67och-5roaced brute,
the type Of THE ASSASSIN.
He is the man who sat behind me in the
court room, in Augusta, with a pistol in his
pocket.
His actions became so suspicious that I
rose III the court and denounced him to his
face, as man who had thrice attempted my
life

The Rascalgy Monks OF So. Leo,
PascO County, Florida.

It HESE are the holy rollers who are sworn
subjects of the Italian pope, and who,
according to De Equivelley, bamboozed his
son out Of some of that holy land, upon which
they have had holy vision, and been divinely
told of miraculous spring
These are the holy rascals who, according
to the Huguenots, swinded the heirs of non
resident landowner out of another slice Of
land worth $4,000
Over his own signature, Mr. De Equive!ey,
the Huguenot, accuses these St. Leo monks
Of lying to the nonresident heirs, and getting
G deed undcr false preten&es.
Promising to pay $4OO for an orange grove
worth $4,000, the rascally monks refused to
even pay the $500, and insisted that the
owners take it out in prayers.
According to Mr.. De Equiveey, the trans
action was shameless swindle.
What about it. abbot Chorles?"
I see that YOU have published another
pamphlet in which you again quote Lord
Macaulay's compliment to the crafty perfec-
ton of the various and complicated secret
machinery of the Roman Catholic church.
If you should feel moved by the spirit to
get out a third pamphlet, won't you please
explain why it is that the simple religion of
Christ needs SO many complicated and secret

De Equiveley?
And do you have to pay express charges, or
does the Company take it out in prayers?
Really, Abbot, [ think we will have to
insist upon taxing these immensely fruitful
farms of the Abbey.
True, Tom Pearce was killed because he
said he meant to have your lands taxed if he
were elected Tax Collector for your county;
but the Romanist assassins can't kill erery-

National Dairy show, it was necessary
to hold the corn show very early in the
season, and before a great deal of the
corn was well matured. For this rea-
son the exhibits were smaller than they
were last year.
1t is hoped that more interest can be
aroused in this annual corn show, so
that it may become countrywide in
reality as well as in name. For the
past few years most of the exhibits
have come from the towns adjoining
Mddlebury, and the towns further
away have their own town corn shows
which take up the interest.

FERTILIZER CAMPAIGN.

In December the county agent
launched fertilizer campaign, holding
sixteen meetings with a total attend
ance Of 2l8. The purpose of this cam
paign was toget the farmers acquainted
with "How to get the most value for
the dollar expended and how to use the
fertilizer so that larger profits might be
realized through it," Much emphasis
was laid on the buying of chemicals to
be home mixed. In several sections the
farmers appointed man to handle the
chemicals for a commission of one dol
lar per ton. Cash is to be paid and
saving of about $500 per ton is thus
made. Already orders have been Sc
cured by local handlers for 200 tons of
chemicals. Last year only few tons
were purchased in the county.
To further summarize the work, 2O3
farmers have been personally visited
with total of 4l6 farm visits. 124
calls have been made on the county
agent in his office.
16l meetings have been held or ad-
dressed by the county agent The total
attendance at these meetings has been
4O5l. Four farmers clubs have been
organized. 5000 letters have been
mailed from the office, 862 of which
were personal letters.

were not inoculated there were no
nodules
One of the demonstrators planted a
new variety of soybeans name I'M
known beside the demonstration plot
This soybean grew very little taller than
the Medium Green and was in bloom
when the Medium Green soybean was
ready to harvest. This same demon
strator did not harvest the section Of
the plot planted to soybeans alone but
left them to mature for seed. The
county agent took sample of these
October 9th when they were slightly
frostbtten, apparently mature. This
seed showed 100 p. ct. termination on the
test made by the county agent. These
beans were planted June 18th and har-
vested October 9th, which is about a
regulation length Of season for corn
Letters have been sent to seed dealers
in the county advising them to stock up
with the Medium Green variety only
until other varieties have proven of
equal or superior value in the county,
and as word of advice to the farmers
here present the county agent would
advise farmers to use only the Medium
Green variety even though at an adj
vanced cost per acre Of a few cents.
The farmer should not as a business
man allow few extra cents per acre
for seed prevent him from buying the
best where it may insure success while
otherwise there would be failure.
Six meetings were held at the plots
with an attendance of about forty
farmers.

DAT SMUT PROJECT.

The object of the oat smut project
was to demonstrate a more profitable
method of growing oats by preventing
oat smut. Seventeen farmers were Sc
cured as demonstrators. In each case
most of the field was sown to treated
seed while only small portion of the
field was sown to untreated seed.
The cost of treating the seed per acre
was five cents. There was Clio of one
per cent of smut on the treated area.
There was 10 $40 per cent smut on the
untreated area. Five bushels of oats
were saved per acre at cost of five
cents making net profit of at least
So. 45 per acre. Profit from the entire
area seeded to oats treated by the
county agent was $338.10 and in only
one plot was their failure, due to the
fact probably that the seed was not
thoroughly disinfected. 1t was not the
actual work that the county agent did
that counted; rather what the farmers
were lead to do having seen the county
agent do it. About $50 farmers at
tended the meeting held by the county
agent at the time the seed was treated.
Of this number ten were found who had
treated seed the year previous. 1t was
found on later inquiry that enough
formaldehyde was purchased by the
farmers in the county through drug
stores and Farmers clubs to treat seed
for 5000 acres of oats. With a saving
of five bushels per acre this would
amount to 10000 bushels of oats saved
in the county. Having done this once
the farmers won't need to be shown
again and it is probable that this
will become common practice in the
county. 1t might be well to add that it
is necessary to treat the seed each
year as the disease can easily be carried
by the wind, by threshing machines.
seeders, bags etc., and may be imported
in seed bought outside the county or
State. Anyone wishing directions as
to how to treat the seed should speak or
write to the county agent. Cards are
ready for distribution today telling how
it is done.

PLANS FOR 1917.

l. The soybeans and corn project,
the oat smut project and the alfalfa
project will be carried into sections not
covered by this work during the past
year
2. The orchard work will be eX-
tended and demonstrations in spraying
of the trees, fertilization and grading
and packing the fruit will be given.
3. The dairy project as covered by
the report of the dairy committee at
the recent county agent conference will
be carried out as far as possible. This
is especially pertinent at this time when
the dairymen are aroused as perhaps
never before.
The county agent is in hearty sym
pathy with work of obtaining a fair
price for the dairy product. Let US look
to our future as we'll as the present.
There is need of thorough organiza-
ton.
There is need of creating greater
competition for our products.
There is need of more even production
throughout the entire year.
There is need of educating the con-
sumner as to the value of dairy products
as compared to other food products.
And most important of all, there is
need of greater efficiency in production
and distribution. Better cows, better
methods of feeding, cooperation be-
tween distributors. There is work to
be done on both ends. The boost in
price is very probably only a temporary
eXpedient unless it leads to some sound
movement looking to the elimination of
the evils in the business.
4. If the association decides here to-
day that Farmers Exchange should
be established, of course the county
agent will do all in his power to make
such an exchange work efficiently.
The county agent solicits suggestions
from the members at any time as re-
CARDS the work. Often times sugges-
tons while good may not be followed
out as they would interfere with the
work scheduled by the executive COM
mittee and the county agent. However.
tits by these suggestions that the county
agent is largely able to regulate future
work.

ALFALFA PROJECT.

The object of the alfalfa project is to
demonstrate practical methods OF
alfalfa production The value Of lining
the soil, inocuating the seed and com
pairing the Grimm seed with the COM
mon seed was taken into consideration,
Seventeen farmers were secured as
demonstrators. The demonstration fields
were divided into four plots as follows;
(D containing Grimm seed lined and
inoculated; (2) containing common seed
lined and inocuated; (3) containing
common seed inoculated but unlmed;
(4) containing common seed unlimed
and uninoculated. Thus can be shown
the value of using Grimm seed, the
value of lining and the value of in
oculating seed
The results could not be measured
since the crop was not harvested this
past season. In general the condition
of the fields going into the winter show
a decided difference in favor of lining
and inoculating. The section of the
plot sown to Grimm seed did not show
superior to the. section sown to common
seed except that the Grimm plants had
stooled out more.

BOYS CORN GROWING PROJECT.

DCip COiNAN biNC' iANN NC"hC''
The object of the boys corn growing
project was to interest the boys of AID
olson county in growing corn and tC
help in limiting the number of varieties
of corn grown in the county. This work
was carried on under the supervision OF
district uperintendents, teachers Of
agriculture in high school, district schoo
teachers and club and community
leaders acting as local leaders. 10l
boys were enrolled. Three different
varieties of corn were used, namely
Early Yellow Flint, Early Yellow Dent
Early White Sanford. This work ended
at the time of the County Corn show
when the boys exhibited their corn
The County Corn show awarded prize:
to the boys obtaining the best results
The prize winners were determined by
the yield, quality, profit per acre anc
the best write up on Glow Grew My
Corn. Only twenty boys completed
the work by exhibiting at the County
Corn show. Others grew the corn but
because of poor results did not exhibit
several failed because of the pool
season.
Results. Early Yellow Flint average
for twelve boys was seven bushels or
1-8 acre with $4.92 profit for the Is
acre. Early Yellow Dent average fol
six boys, 62-3 bushels on Is acre with
$4.85 profit per 1-S acre. Early White
Sanford average for two boys, 5 bushels
on Is acre with ST. so profit for Is acre.
ORCHARD PRUNING Project.
The object was to demonstrate the
best method of pruning apple trees.
Seventeen men were secured in different
towns to cooperate in holding pruning
demonstrations during the month of
November. An expert was hired by
the association to work with the county
agent in carrying on the demopstra-
tons. In nearly all the demonstrations
three trees were pruned, namely: an old
tree more or less diseased, tree five to
