do the best of all the tame grasses

Whe"A you expect to SOW blue grass
we recommend the use of two tons

IS very desirable that you prepare
the land carefully before seeding Il
blue grass. We would combine white
clover with some of the grasses
mentioned above, and on bottom
lands you can use alsike to some
advantage, Our experience indicates

best grasses to use in the locality
about which you inquire.

Irish potato growing nationally con-
Quoted on the red soils of the Pied
mont territory offers a fine oppor-
tunity to the truckster. / realize
that a great many say they have
tried this and their potatoes were
ready for harvest when the market
was glutted and hence they made no
money. They should go a little fur
Their and say they have no facilities
for keeping the potatoes, such as
sweet potato storage house would af-
ford for that crop in the autumn and
winter and for Irish potatoes in the
spring and summer. The haphaZard
production of Irish potatoes will not
prove profitable, but it is a business
with a future for the man who I'M
dertakes it along rational lines and
specializes therein.
Onions are another crop which can
be grown very extensively and prof
itably in the territory mentioned.
If sets be put out in late august
or early September, the young on
ions may be made ready for use for
eating purposes by the first of No
Vember and from then on will in
crease and develop in size. They
may be shipped or sold locally, there
fore, from November until early
spring. Our experience indicates
that the best way to produce onions
is from seed. Of course, this Sec

of Bermuda onions, but a very choice

Your tomatoes have evidently been
attacked by what is known as the
wilt disease. This is a fungus which
develops in association with this
plant. 1t finds it's way into the
water carrying vessels through the
fine fifamentous roots and then ii
grows up i'll the watcr-carrying ducts
until it literally chokes the plants
| to death.
The development Of this disease is
sometimes favored by a wet sea-
son, and particularly is this true il.
! seasons when there are excessive
spells of rainfall followed by dry,
| hot weather. Such conditions seem
to Impair the physiological condl-
ton of the plants and make them
very subject to this trouble.
The best method of fighting this
pest known to science at the present
time is as follows: Do not grow
tomatoes on the same land year aftei
year. Do not use barnyard manure
or litter from fields where diseased
tomatoes have previously grown. If
any plants show evidence of shriv-
cling up and dying pull them up
out of the ground very carefully,
roots and all, and burn them immt-
diately. Plant only resistant strains
of tomatoes. You will find that even
in the worst infested spot in youl
garden some plants survive. Save
seed from these and plant another
year on. fresh piece of ground.
There are some strains of tomatoes
on the market now which are claim.
ed to be much more resistant to this
disease than others. In buying to-
matO seed, therefore, you should en-.
deavor to secure the type which will
best resist the attack of this fungus
Tomatoes do not need as rich soil
as other crops, but they should be
quite literally fortified and well
cultivated so as to promote uniform
and rapid growth.
These are about the only sugges.
tons which We can offer you under
the circumstances

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR.. ANDREW NJ SOULE

There seems to be an impression
that fruit and truck growing cam
not be practiced with success in the
upper portion tof the Piedmont Plat
eau. Some people sem to think that
the elevation here would initiate
against earlinoss and that the pre-
Vailing. type of soil. cecil clay or ce-
Gil clay loan, it not suited 30 or
chard or truck crops 1t is true
tnat this section of the. state would
hardly be regarded as favorable TO
apple production and of course when
it comes to the matter of pears
and plums blight and wilt have 20
Nc contended with here as elsewhere
Nevertheless, fruit of good quality of
both pears and plums can be pro-
duced either for the use of the i'll
Gividual family or on a fairly large
commercial scale. Undoubtedly,
however, this section offers the
greatest opportunity for investment
and commercial development to the
peach grower. This has been demon
strated individually to some extent
already though no such great CEN
ters of peachs production have been
organized in this territory such as
characterize the Fort Valley area
Commercial orchards, however, have
been developed in the foothills of the
mountains and in the upper part of
the Piedmont Plateau which have
proved profitable in both northeast
and northwest Georgia. There are
fine peach orchards in the vicinity
Of Commerce and Marietta on the
one hand and juss north of Macon
on the other.
-. A Good Peach District.
There is no reason why CONNER
cial peach growing should not be
organized as q. special and distinc-
tive business in a considerable part
of the territory lying between the
points indicated. Certainly the soil
in this section of the state will pro-
duce a fine tree in a comparatively
short time. This tree will be found
to be as free from disease and as
hardy as that grown in any other
part OF Georgia. The wood will also
be as tough and o. rs good quality.
The land itself is naturally richer
in it's total store of plant food and
in the amount made available an
nually to1 growing crops. Hence the
question of fertilization will prob
ably not be as serious matter for

cabbage a year. Several paintings
of beans may be made, though the
Lima bean and the butterbean only
need to be planted once. as they
will live through the entire sum
mer. Kale and turnips planted late
in August or early September will
furnish green's throughout the tall,
winter and early spring. 1t is sur
prising what quantities of these
crops can be harvested and sold
from a comparatively small sec
ton of land.
In planting truck crops, of course,
one must select a good location. II
the land is somewhat sandy it win
often be an advantage in the mat
ter of enabling the ground to be
worked a little earlier and sooner
after a heavy fall of rain. Natural
~ ground intended for truck in this
section as elsewhere, must be made
rich with vegetable matter derived
from yard manures or green crops
plowed under. 1t must be we'll
drained and have a favorable slope
where earliness is the desideratum.
It is an advantage. of course. if it
can be conveniently located as to
water supply so that irTigatio,
may be practiced should this be
come desirable. Truck land, of
