those sections of the world where
grass can be produced most album
dainty and economically as well.
Therefore. III we are to develop that
phase OF our animal industry which
will best enable Us 10 reclaim and
improve our soil and become more
nearly self-sustaining in the matter
Of agricultural production We must
direct our attention 10 an increased
production of grasses. One might
conclude from what has tranSpired
in the past that neither live stock
nor grasses are well ADAPTED TO the
south. Results at hand. OF course,
entirely discount both of these prop
ositiDIS. Recent figures indicate
that Georgia. for example, stands
about sixth in hog production and
has made wonderful strides in beef
raising as well. The dairy industry
is also coming in for increased at
tenJion and there is a well defined
movement looking towards the en-
enlargement of sheep production.
While Georgia has probably made
Greater progress. according to the
nsures OF the United States depart

state. a decided movement looking
towards the emphasis of this type or
agricultural production is Witnessed
the question of what grasses are
adapted for cultivation in this sec
tiOn and how We shall undertake to
handle lands devoted TO hay and
pastures is a matter of paramount
Importance. y review of the situa-
tiou indicates that we have great
abundance of grasses and forage
crops suitable for the production OF
silage and, of course. long folders.
These crops, when properly handled,
may be made to take the place OF
clover and Timothy, or the other
mixed hays and grasses cultivated
solely for hay production in the
northern states. There are, there
fore. satisfactory substitutes at
hand for the tame grasses OF the
south.
The next proposition is to de-
termine TO what extent some of the
more important of the tame grasses
generally cultivated for hay may be
grown here in the south. On rich
bottom lands Bermpda can be pro-
auced satisfactorily and made into a
rood quality Of hay. on almost any
type of soil Johnson grass can be
crown with very considerable
measure of success. There is a deep
rooted objection TO its cultivation,
however, owing to the difficulty of

What the Mayor of AL
pharetta Says: j..
Ga, Oct. 9. 1918

Alpharetta, Ca, Oct. 9, 1918.
To whom it may concern:
The Rucker cotton is the
best in the world. j believe
this is true without a doubt.
Although this has been any
thing but a good cotton year,
/ am getting eight large bales
off eight acres planted in the
Rucker cotton.
This cotton is earlier than
other varieties. bolls stick all
over the stalk, and one can pick
one-third more of it in a day
than he can pick of other va
rieties. Not only do you get
more seed cotton from an acre,
but when you go to the gin
you get from 46 to so per cent
of beautiful creamy lint that
is one inch or more in length.
have not heard a single
objection raised to the Rucicr
cotton, and / believe all the
farmers in this section will
grow ii in 1918. via
At present prices, of cotton
I believe it will pay to plant
the Rucker seed even if they
cost $500 per bushel.

Castor beans have been grown to
some extent in various parts of Geor-
gia this year. due in some measure
TO a request of the government that
they be grown extensively as q
source of oil suitable for aircraft
engines. Abundant supplies of this
oil was previously obtained from ln-
ola, where castor beans are rather
extensively grown, but the scarcity
of ships cut off the supply and has
forced us to produce our own castor
oil and as we are developing an ever
increasing number of air crafts it
has been important to produce enough
Of this lubricant to meet the re-
quirements of our army.
As far as | know, the only COM
plant made up to the present time
has beep due to the relatively low
yields obtained. There was an inn
preston that 80 or 40 or even. so
bushels of beans would be harvested
per acre, but the returns in Georgia
UP to this time seem to be far short
of these figures. The growers OF
velvet beans have asked that they
be accorded a higher price, and |
understand that this has already
been fixed at $3.50 for the remainder
of the present season. I do not
know what the price basis will be
next season.
Castor oil beans are of semitropI-
cal origin and, therefore, adapted for
growth only where the summers are
comparatively long and the Temporal
lures relatively high. There was d
nroduced from beans grown in
Kansas and other parts of the semi
humid region of the west. There
appears to be no reason why this
crop should not be cultivated in the
southeast where our climatic condi-
tiOuS for several nooOthS. In tho wear
are suitable to its growth and de-
velopment.
This plant prefers a rich. well
drained. sandy or clay soil. It does
not do so we'll on stiff clay or on
very light sandy soils as on the char
should be planted in hills four to
five feet apart in each direction or
else in rows four to five feet. apart
with the plans about 10 inches to
two feet in the drill. This crop
should be planted as soon as climatic
conditions will, warrant. its. quick
termination. The land should be
kept free of weeds and trash through
out the sea son. The crop. as it ma
lures. must be gathered at different
seasons. The beans have to be dried
so rs 10 rot them out of the shell
or husk which surrounds them.
Liberal fertilization of the land
will be found profitable Complete
fertilizers will apparently answer
very well. Potash is So high that
il could not be secured except in
limited quantities and through the
burning of wood. If you burn wood

of 1000 pounds per acre and harrow

What Milton Clerk of the
Court Says:

Alpharetta, Ca, Oct. rs, 1918.
To whom it may concern:
1 have been farming we'll
nigh all my life, and 1 desire
to say that Fuckers Select
No. ! is by far the best. cotton
1 have ever seen. 1t is very
early, makes more seed cotton
to the acre and turns out more
lint than any other cotton.
The farmers in this section
who have raised this Rucker
cotton are loud in their praises
of it and declare they will
have no other. There can be
no doubt that this cotton
brings more clear profits than
any cotton ever grown in this
section.
If you have a doubt about
which is the pest cotton, write
to any farmer that you know
in Milton county and he will
tell you the truth.
Yours for good crops and
prosperity,

What a WelI-Known and
Popular Bank Cashier
Saws:

A1pharetta, Ga, Oct. s. 1918.
To whom it may concern:
AS cashier of the Milton
County Bank / come in con-
tact with the farmers of this
entire section and hear them
talk about their affairs. This
year one of the main themes
of conversation among them
has been the remarkable mon
ey-making qualities of the
Fucker cotton, which has been
so extensively cultivated In
this section this year. They
are unanimous in declaring
this cotton the best money
maker they have ever grown.
From my own knowledge |
can say that the Rucker Select
No. / cotton Is the best have
ever seen. 1t rolls up the bank
accounts for the farmers. II
is early, clean, high-linting
and prolific, and the lint is
very fine.
This cotton will surely com
mend itself to the farmer who
desires to make the most clear
money on the least number or
acres.
Yours for good crops.
