Such yields as these could not be
obtained under ordinary conditions
on an extensive basis. They indi-
cate, however, the wonderful adap-
ton of wheat and show that where
the land has been properly pre-
pared and fortified and varieties of
seed adapted to our climate condt-
tions are planted that large and
profitable yields of wheat can. be
obtained. They indicate, from our
point of view, the relative desira-
bility of the different varieties for
planting under our conditions.
Our experience has shown now
for some years that Fulcaster is
one of the best varieties to plant
in Georgia. Bluestem is also an ex-
cellent sort, as we'll as Georgia Red,
klondyke, and Leaps Prolific. These
of course. are not only good varie-
ties. but they have always occu-
pied a leading position in the tests

is very important that the seed
be treated to prevent the develop

followed in this respect are so sim

glect this very important matter.
There is much discussion as to
the best time of seeding wheat. We
have emphasized repeatedly that
early seeding is desirable. Our mild
open falls are such as to lead our
people to believe that they can plant
wheat about as well one time as
another. In this they are absolute
ly mistaken. The later the planting
the less favorable will be the yields
obtained. Undoubtedly it requires the

80 and continuing for five weeks.
1t is practically free to all farmers
in the state of Georgia, save for rail-
road fare and board while here in
Athens. Those who take a course
of this character will learn enough
about cotton to know how the cot
ton they produce should be graded,
and are, therefore. in position to see
that they get a fair and just price
for the same.
For a number of years I have
advocated the Importance and neces-
sity of having a cotton grader, who
is properly trained, appointed in each
county. He might be maintained out
of fees collected from those whose
tanned in such other way as might
be deemed proper. Possibly the
measure providing for graders of this
character should be national in scope,
and the work should be associated
in some way with the bureau of
markets of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. By this ar
rangement I believe the best type
of service could be rendered the peo-
pie Of the south. Naturally as the
market bureau has 60 pass on grades
and standards, if [ am correctly inz
formed, they are the ones who should
have in charge this particular type
of service work. The government is
well able to stand the cost of such
an undertaking. 1t would, of course
save millions of dollars to southern
farmers each year. The reasons for
this are not difficult to understand
and appreciate. The grades approved
by such a man would pass as stand
ard anywhere, especially if he were
duly authorized agent of the gov
eminent. Purchasing and trading in
cotton could, therefore, be based on
the standards set up by him, and as
he would be in the employ of the
government, he would naturally have
to be a clean, strong man in order

AS you doubtless know, the Georgia
State College of Agriculture has en-
deaVored for many years past to
train men as cotton graders. I be-
3ieve it was the first institution to
establish and offer course Of this
character. Naturally our undertake
ing was ridiculed and made fun of
by men who fancied that because
they were experienced graders no
one else could learn the so-called
secret associated with the grading of
cotton. They were astonished to find
that this subject could be taught
satisfactorily, and that in the course
of few weeks we could turn out
comparatively efficient graders. Men
who have taken this course are now
handling cotton successfully in many
parts of the state. By far the larger
number, however, are farmers who
wish to know how to grade their
own cotton, so they can see that
they get a fair price for it when
it offered for sale. We have a course

ing Il satisfactory harvest fully
iustifieS us in emphasizing the inn
portance of early seeding. In the
tests to which reference has been
made Georgia Red and Fulcaster
were seeded on two different dates
was done on October 10th and the
second seeding on November 18th.
The yield per acre from early seed
ing with Georgia Red was 1884
bushels, or an increase of 20 bushels
over late seeding of the same
seeding with Fulcaster was 3S.40
bushels, or an increase of 1921
bushels over late seeding. The larger
yield of straw was also obtained
from early seeding, and the heavier
weight per measured bushel. 1t
appears quite. certain that the long
Ier the time the wheat has in which
to develop and mature the better
the yield will be- Wheat should or
dinarily have in this climate about
220 days in which to mature and
seeding should be predicted on this
basis.
AS to the rate of seeding, there
is also much difference of opin-
ion. We have tested this point for
a good many years. The results ap-
pear to confirm the opinion that
one and a half bushels of wheat

Very good yields may be obtained
from the use of bushel per acre.
though apparently the stand is often
somewhat thinner than is likely to
insure the best results in the mat
ter of yield. Two, three and four
pecks per acre have, therefore, not
been regarded as satisfactory from
our point Of, view. The use of eight
pecks to two. bushels per acre has
not proven profitable. All our ex-
perience and observation, therefore,
tends to- confirm the desirability of
using six pecks of wheat seed per
acre. .@t'..--:
