wrong or careless application of the
treatment.
The acreage planted in wheat and
oats up to the present time is consider
ably below the amount desired by the
government. This /. due to the prolOng-
ed dry season in the fall, the shortage
OF labor and the high prices yielded by
other crops An effort should be made
to plant "A larger acreage of spring oats
than usual. Every bushel Of seed wheat
and oats should be treated for smut.
At the present retail price of materials
for treating oats, by the bluestone
method will cost from &c to loo per
bushel, while the formaldehyde treat
ment costs only about 1 lie per bushel.
In addition TO this the formaldehyde
is simpler and probably results in less
injury to the grain. The sprinklins
method is in most use, applying the
formaldehyde at the strength OF one
pint to 40 gallons of water. About one
gallon of the solution is required to
each bushel of grain and is applied with
4 common sprinkling can.
Because of the difficulty of drying the
grain after treatment by the sprlnkllng
method. the spraying method is coming
into more common use, especially on
oats and Is resulting in good success
and satisfaction. The same amount OF
formaldehyde is use q. e., one pint 10
30 or so bushels of grain) but is used
in a very concentrated solution. This
is applied by means of small mana
sprayer which is capable of producing
a very fine spray. The formaldehyde
should be diluted to at least half
strength with water. Whether the
sprinkling method or the spraying meth
ed is used the seed must be heaped IN
pile for three or four hours and severed
with a good canvas or blanket. one OF
the great advantages of the spraying
method is that the grain is not soaked
with water; thus, il will run through the
drill readily if planted Immediately, or
il NAV be left several months before
planting without danger of injury.

Velvet beans ground with the pods
contain per 100 pounds about 14.9 pounds
of digestible protein, SIT pounds diges-
tible carbohydrates, 3.S pounds of di-
gestible fat. Peanut meal including the
bulls contains about 1874 pounds digesti-
BILE protein. but a very much higher per-
centage of fat Cowpeas contain 1874
per cent digestjble protein, while good
grade of cottonseed meal contains obut
3l.6 pounds of digestible protein You
will thus see that velvet beans compare
fairly well in their content of digestible
protein with several of our standard
feeds They contain considerably less
protein than cottonseed meal. which IS
not altogether disadvantage because
this material is so rich in digestible pro-
tein that TO obtain the best results from
it's use ii should be diluted with other
concentrates which contain less OF this
element. As matter of fact, velvet
beans contain about the right amount of
digestibie protein to combine them in
equal parts with corn as a ration for
horses, mules and beef cattle. For dairy
cows probably two-thirds velvet beans
and one-third corn meal would make the
most desirable ration. They may be fed
in equal parts with corn meal to hogs
during the fattening period and on the
basis of two-thirds beans and one-third
corn to hogs during the period or grown
and development. or course, velvet
beans may be fed to almost any class of
stock by themselves but we think bet
ter and more satisfactory results will be
obtained when they are combined with
some other concentrate and in the pro-
portion we have indicated.
Velvet beans when ground in the hull
should be reduced to a fairly fine condi-
ton because the hulls are hard and when
corasely ground might injure the ali
mentary tract to some extent At least
there is an impression that they may be
res ponsible for some irritation of the
character indicated WI en- coarsely
ground.
We understand, of course, the deSlr-
ability and necessity of kiln drying the
beans and think this is wise and safe
policy to pursue.
We have fed velvet beans alone to
our dairy herd here in Athens in opposi-
ton TO cottonseed meal and peanut meal.
We we're gratified to observe that the
beans made n very favorable showing.
We regard this as one OF the most i'm
| portant and desirable crops which our
| farmers can cultivate at the present

cultlYatorf Nnat - the beSb variety VI
cotton seed to grow to combat the weevil:
AS Won know il will be somewhat dill
ficult to obtain any considerable variety
of fertilizers this year. The government
as / understand it, has taken over all
the sulphate of ammonia which has
previously been available as source
of nitrogen There is a scarcity OF nj
trate of soda so that our farmers are
going to be confined in large measure
to the use of cottonseed meal and Vel-
vet beans as sources of nitrogen. FOR
tunateIy we have fair supplies of these
materials on hand and while 1t is a
matter of regret that they should be
used without first being fed as a last
resource we must still regard them as
our most important sources of this
essential element. While, therefore, you
may use any sort of a formula which
will provide the essential plant food
elements in the proper proportion we
think that possibly the preparation or
a mixture containing LOO pounds
phosphoric acid, 500 pounds of standard
cottonseed meal, and 100 pounds of MI
trate of soda, would provide very
good formula for corn and cotton on
mos: soils. If you cannot obtain the
nitrate of soda we would be disposed
to mix the cottonseed meal and acid
phosphate in equal amounts The first
formula indicated above would contain
3.2 per cent of nitrogen, 9.S per cent
phophoric acid and about 5 per cent
potash On good rich land we would use
800 pounds of this fertilizer as a mimi
num-. On thinner soils where the nat
ural content of plant food is likely to
be less than normal, we would increase
the supply to perhaps as much as 500
pounds per acre for corn and cotton.
We would be disposed to put at least
two-thirds of this fertilizer under the
drill row at the time of planting and
use one-third as a side application early
in the season.
We imagine almost any dealer in fer
tilizers could supply you with any of
the ingredients suggested. As farmer
you can obtain fertilizer under govern
ment regulations which have been pro-
mulgated. You should take this matter
UP with your county agent at once.
Excellent riding cultivators are made
by many of our leading implement man
ufacturers. 1t would be difficult to
say that one is entirely superior to the
others. We advise you to communicate
with several of the leading manufac-
turers and obtain their prices. | do
not think you would make a mistake in
purchasing an implement of this type
from any reliable up-to-date concern.
There is, of course, no one best
variety of cotton seed. For your sec
ton of the state a we'll selected strain
of Cleveland's Big Boil should prove
satisfactory. College No 1 has given
US excellent results. There is. however,
only a limited amount of seed of this
variety available. Sunbeam is an eX-
cellent sort to plant in north Georgia.

Important Data About Castor Beans
For the information of our readers
I beg to call their attention to the
following proposition:
Lieutenant Colonel Charles Van Way,
of the United States signal corps,
Washington, d. c., desires that a con-
siderable area of castor beans be
planted in Georgia this year for the
purpose of providing a considerable
quantity of lubricating oil for airplane
motors The reason for this lies in
the fact that castor oil does not con-
geal at high attitudes. The government
is therefore, anxious to secure the
planting of a considerable area in this
state, as much as $4,000 to 10000 acres
has been suggested There should be
no difficulty in planting as much land
as this to castor beans, for this crop
can be grown to considerable advan-
tage in nearly all parts Of the state. We
presume of course, it will do some
better south of the fall line than north
of it, though this is a matter we have
not definitely determined as yet and
this is advice that must be taken as
only a suggestion at the present time.
The main features of the contract
which the government has prepared is
as follows:
The price will be $3.50 per bushel of
forty-six pounds at the nearest rail
way station. No agreement will be made
with any one person covering more
than 10000 acres. Subcontractors are
to be paid not less than SO per bushel
for beans grown by them. The govern
ment will furnish seed at cost plus
transportation charges, to be paid ii
cash. or out of the first sales. The gov
eminent will pay for the crop on de-
livery. The contracting planter will be
! required to furnish small bond
amounting to 81 per acre for the crop
planted, as an evidence of good faith
and does not mean a guarantee of the
| size of the crop.

And perhaps it's name was not too
poetic after all, since it stood in a flow
erlng wood a hectare of land surround
ed on three sides by a dark, sweet grove
of pines. 1t had a rose garden always
IN bloom; the roses climbed up the
facade of the house and over the ter

There was little lodge where lived
the gardener, who spoke an odd French

IN an enormous cage kept a fierce Gro

with an air no less proudly conscious
than that of a lion tanner. would enter
the cage and allow the dog to lick his

There were pleasant paths among the
trees and a thicket where a rabbit
dwelt; he came out at times to nibble at
the rose leaves, dwelling in the peace
that was breathed by all the country

ASSESSMENTS
 DUE ON TOWNSHIP
 LOTS PURCHASED
Townsite Manager Makes Statement Regarding Assessment Notices
 Mailed Yesterday.

l Townsite Manager H. B. Joserh mailed yesterday to every property owner, notice of assessment of his property. This is the first notice of this nature mailed by Mir. Joseph since assuming the responsi- bilities of the position of townsite manager, and, in this connection, wished to make the following state ment:
 There will be no more general assessments until July or August, 1919.
 From the notices mailed yester- day, it is possible to calculate very nearly, just how much there will be to pay each year for assessments, until all improvements are paid for; purchasers should remember that installments paying for the lot itself are to be sent to the Receiver, U. S. Land Office, Fairbanks, Alaska; and the amounts of these install ments are not included in the notices from the townsite office. The only charge that may not be exactly determined beforehand, is the annual maintenance charge; the next one will be approximately 25ft higher than assessment No. 8, shown on the notices, and this will be a fair estimate for the balance of the five year period.
 Every possible latitude has been given purchasers, the date of pay ment being set as far forward as circumstances seemed to justify, and a penalty date of six weeks. allowed before lot will be reported for for feiture.
 It now becomes simply a matter of business for purchasers to come forward within these dates, and either pay their assessments, or notify the townsite management that they do not wish to continue payments; in which case the lots will later be put up for sale. ! It is suggested that purchasers consult with the townsite manager personally before relinquishing any property, in order that they may be sure that they fully understand the status of their property, before taking any radical action.
 Those who have received notices carrying credit balance should understand that it is impossible to refund the overcharge in cash; the amount will apply against future assessments.
 Every property owner should re- ceive a notice, as notice has been mailed for every lot in the town site.
 If you own lot and there is no notice for you in the postoffice, call at the townsite office and ask for it, as it has probably been sent to a former owner of the lot, and the townsite office will appreciate this method of help in bringing the record of ownership up to date.
