The value of Georgia's Farm Crops
Y. S. Y, New York, n. Y, writes: L
would like ito know the value of all
crops in Georgia for the past two or
three years; also the estimated value
fthe cotton crop for the same years.
The value of all crops in Geor-
gia in 1917 was $548,544 100000.
This, of course, did not include
live stock. In 1918 the value of all
crops was $580,292 100000. Our live
stock in 1910 was worth around
$4,000, 100000; in 1918, $197,458,-
10000. This represents an increase,
as you see, of Sly, 402,000.00. These
are round numbers and not exact
figures, but they are so nearly cor
rect as to furnish you the informa-
ton you desire.
The cotton crop of Georgia to-
tailed 100000 bales in 1917 and
100000 bales in 1918. The figures
for this years crop are uncertain
though there will probably be
around 100000 or 100000 bales.
Crops in this state are somewhat
off this year owing to the peculiar
season which we have had. In
crease in prices for some prod
ucts, however, will probably offset
any financial loss unless it be in
the case of cotton. No one can say
approximately what our crops will
be worth this year, as the peanuts,
velvet beans, sorghum, sweet pota-
toes and some other crops have
not been harvested or disposed of
as yet. The chances are that cot
ton will go higher than at the
present time. We do not believe
the value of all farm crops in Geor-
gia this year will fall below $780,
000,000.00. The value of the cotton
crop, including the seed for 1917
was approximately $271,283, 100000
and for 1918 approximately $685.
100000. While there will be an
apparent decrease in yield of cot
ton of several hundred thousand
bales this year it will presumably
be correct to presuppose that cot
ton will bring an average of
cents a pound more This year than
it did last year. In that event the
crop of 1919 will quite closely ap-
prOXimate that of 1918.

Muskrats Are
~ q 49,
Plentiful and Are
.-. g. IA
Easy to Trap

The best places to look for the
common muskrat is In marshes,
sluggish ponds, tide-water areas and
on the banks of streams. If they
live in ponds they usually build
houses that rise five feet above tho
water, but if they live in stream
beds they build no houses, but live
in holes in the banks. These open
under water.
Trapping muskrat is an easy occu-
patton and profitable one, since
there is a continual demand and
good prices for muskrat pelts. Musk
rat gets better in quality toward
early spring, but good pelts are to
be had in the fall and early winter.
In trapping muskrat, remember
this: Always stake your trap with
it's full length of chain in deep
water so that the muskrat will
drown quickly. If not, he Is likely
to tear his foot off and escape. e
If you are hunting in quiet wat
er, look for beds of water grass or
reeds that are near the surface. 10
these the muskrat usually feeds. Put
your traps in these beds under wat
err Another way is to. find musl1ra E.
signs on stream banks and then
place your trap, undated, at the.
foot of these slides. If you. can los.
cate muskrat holes in the bank,
place a trap at the entrance.
Sometimes though, the novice cam
not locate such holes. Then the
thing for you to do is to place your
traps along the banks, almost any
where in shallow water and stick
bait about eight inches above each
trap. Since muskrats are great low
ers of vegetables and fruits, an ap-
pie, a carrot, beet or an ear of
corn will make excellent bait.
Do not NEEDLE with or destroy
muskrat houses. In most states this.
is unlawful.
Three or four days before you are
ready to set your trap place some,
bait (fish, rabbit or fowl have proved
successfully in the hole. 1- s
The trap itself should be placed,
at the entrance of the hole and set.
in the water with the full length
of chain staked securely to some OBJ
ject. The trap should then be COW
cred with mud or dead leaves. '~'
While all traps should be visited,
at least once a day to see if a
catch has been made, do not, under
any circumstances, tarry too long
at the traps or in mink haunts, nor
is it wise to tread mink trails too
often, as the animals are very wary
of man, and will leave neighbor-
hoods where man is too much in evi-
dence.

GAME GET'TERS

TNHE steady game-getting quail
B ties of Winchester Loaded Shells
= have made them the favorite
shells of experienced shooters. .
Under all weather conditions they
play true to form, shooting a strong,
even spread of shot The Winchester
waterproofing process prevents swelling
from dampness; special fabrication of
the paper fbres prevents brittleness
and splitting in dry weather.
The secret of the famous Winchester Shot
Pattern is in the control of the gas blast from
the exploding powder. This in turn depends
upon the wadding in the shell.
The Wimchesfer gas control system
The Winchester system of wadding and load
ing is the result of repeated experiments to
determine the most effective control of the
gas blast. The base wads of Winchester Shells
are constructed to give what is known as pro-
gresslve combustion to the powder charge. The
ignition spreads to the sides, in all directions,
as well as forward.
: Under the heat and pressure of this progress
sive combustion, the tough, springy driving wad
expands and fills the bore snugly, completely
sealing in the gas behind. In being driven
through the bore this wad offers just enough
resistance to the gas blast to insure complete
combustion OF every grain of powder, so that

, use- as food?
Carbon bisulphide is very extern
aively used to prevent the granafy
weevils or other insects from in
Turing stored grain. Damage from
Weevils is likely to be unusually Sc
we're in the south because our sea-
sons are mild and very long and
hence several broods Of weevils may
develop in this section.
In treating garden grains you
should proceed as in treating any
other grain. The first thing is to
put the grain in a relatively tight
box or container. You could, of
course, treat several kinds of grain
at once if you prefer. The grain may
be put in bags, but it is better that
it be kept loose, as this permits the
carbon bisulphide fumes to more
thoroughly penetrate every part OF
the grain to be treated. Stored grain
should be treated with carbon bisul-
phide at the rate of is to 2pounds
per ton, though it would take a
relatively smaller quantity of car
bon bisulphide to treat the grain one
might harvest, from a private gard
den.
Carbon bisulphide is a colorless
liquid with very offensive odor and
which rapidly evaporates when ex-
posed to the air. AS the fumes are
heavier than air they naturally sink
down when placed on top of the bin
or grain centainer and effectively
destroy any weevi1s which may be
therein at the time of treatment.N AS
eggs may hatch out later additional
treatmens should, of course, be made
from time TO time as may be neces-
sary.
AS soon as the grain has been
thoroughly treated for few hours
it should then be exposed to the air.
The odor will disappear and the
treated grain can be used for food
with impunity. Carbon bisulphide
is not poisonous, nor will it burn the
hands or injure the clothing. 1t is,
however, inflammable in the presence

nitrate of soda You may make one
or two applications. If you desire to
make two applications use fifty
pounds each time and make the sec
ond application not later than the
first of March.
There is no reason why you should
not SOW clover in your section as late
as the first of November, or possibly
even the Is, but we do not think 70"
would gain much benefit from seed
ing good many varieties of clover
with oats. We suggest that if you
do this you try crimson clover, in
combination with oats. I'm that
event We would only SOW about three
pecks of oats and about ten; pounds
of crimson clover. Crimson clover,
as you know, natures early in the
spring and will furnish some graz
ing during the winter. Whenever
the heads begin to form it must be
cut in order to prevent the long
awns, with which it is covered, from
hardening to the point where the
hay, becomes Objectionable as a feed
for horses.

Plant Food Suited to New oat Crop

Plant Food Suited to New oat Crop
NJ. H. B., Pavo, Ga, writes L have
20 acres of land that have been sown
to oats for. the past three years, and l
am preparing to plant in oats again.
The land is black pebble land and has
yellow clay subsoil. What fertilizers
would you suggest using? 1 am trying
10 get the land in a high state of
fertility by rotation without too much
commercial fertilizer. Is it too late
for clover here and would you advise
mixing clover with the oats for spring
grazing by pigs!
The chances are that oats when
planted on the land, even under the
conditions you mention, will respond
to the use of certain types of COM
mercial fertilizer. The soil of your
section of the state is most likely
to be deficient in phosphoric acid.
1t is also sometimes very low in
potash. In the description of the
land given in your letter you prob
ably do not need potash as much as
phosphoric acid. We Judge from
what you say that you would not
need to use any nitrogen at this sea-
son of the year, but our experience
has indicated to us that the use
of fifty pounds Of nitrate of soda as
a top dressing on oats Is profitable.
Of course, you might use sulphate
of ammonia in the amount you in
dictate if you prefer If situated as
you are we would use at least 200
pounds of acid phosphate per acre on
the oats Ordinarily we, would like
to add 100 pounds of kainit, or some
other low. grade carrier of potash,
but possibly the prices are too high
to Justify us in recommending that
you use this material at the pres
ent time.
About the fifteenth of February in

charge leaves the gun until it is being driven
by the maximum energy and velocity possible
from the load.
At the muzzle, the expanded, snug-6tting

choke or construction, while the shot cluster
travels on unbroken by gas blast or wadding,

which Winchester Shells are world famous.

at the shell head is varied exactly according
to different loads, great care being, taken
never to stifen it to such degree that it offers
undue resistance to the powder explosion.

q Why Should the Public Show 7
This Remarkable Preference?

Today, public preference for Good
year Tires has assumed such immense
proportions, as to make even the
maximum productive capacity Of our
factories all too small.
In other words, although our present
volume is the largest ever attained by
tire manufacturer, there still are not
enough Goodyear Tires to 60 round.
What causes the public to demand
Goodyear Tires in such quantity as
to make even our enormous produc>
ton approximately $4,000 finished
tires daily, Al<ron-2,OOO finished
tires daily, Canada) insufficient?
What underlies the remarkable pub
lie preference that leads us, in the
hope Of meeting needs in future, to
undertake work on a plant in Los
Angeles having several thousand tires
additional daily capacity!
Could it be anything less than that
Goodyear Tires deliver matchless
satisfaction, and that under every
condition their performance is super
latively fine?
The sun., 1919-08-17

Surely, the worlds largest single group
Of tire-buyers would not year after
year sustain Goodyear leadership, did
Goodyear Tires not yield them ex>
ceptional service.
We are employing every proper
means to expand our present produc>
ton, in an attempt to make Goodyear
Tires as easy to get as they are worth
while to use.
In the meantime we suggest that you
let your Goodyear Service Station
Dealer show you how to care prop

have, as means of assuring you their
maximum usefulness.
He will be glad to instruct you in the
