ANOTHER BIGFUR
YEAR IS COMING;
SKINS IN DEMAND

Last year was a big one for
trapping. Trappers everywhere,
reported good profits because the
market for pelts was very high. This
coming season promises to be big
one, too, and the profits should be
just as large as last.
The fur market is subject to the
law of supply and demand, and every
trapper should remember that the
demand for furs all over the coun-
try is steadily becoming greater.
Last winter was the mildest the
country experienced over very
long period of years. and yet furs
were never so popular for wear.
The style for fur coats for women
came in and a tremendous demand
was created.
1t will be a long time before we
have a winter as mild as last and
as you know, the colder the weather
the more popular are fur garments.
The big cities have already come in
strong for fur styles during winter
months and now it looks as though
the people in the smaller towns and
on the farms are going to demand
more and more fur garments. For
motoring and outdoor life of every
kind, fur garments are useful. stylish
and economical.
The trapper, seeing the big de-
mand, can't help seeing also that
the more pelts he traps and markets
properly the bigger his profits are
going to be. So it will pay you well
to go in for trapping on just as
big a scale as possible this year.
Make all your preparations early and
get everything in order, so that
when the season opens, you can de-
vote all your energies to the work
of trapping. Careful preparation
shows it's value in the extra results
you are able to get.

Rye Acreage Increased
During Last Four Years

The United States produces less
than per cent of the total rye crop
of the world. The bulk of our pro-
duction is in the eastern half of the
country. in 1915 nearly 80 per cent
being grown east of the Dakotas,
Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma. and
Texas. In the eastern part of the
United States the principal produc-
ton is in Minnesota and the States
east of the Mississippi and north of
the Ohio and Potomac rivers. In the
last few years. however. there has
been a tendency to increase the acre
age outside of the region of previous
largest production. This has been
especially marked in Nebraska.
North Dakota. South Dakota. and
Kansas, while largely increased
acreages have been sown in Indiana
and Ohio. In Nebraska. for in
stance, the acre sown is estimated
to have increased from 62,827 acres
in 1909 to about 100000 acres in
1915, while in Indiana the estimated
increase in the same period is from
83,44O to 10000 acres.
The LARGEST crop of rye ever pre-,
year was il, 1915, when g. the t yield
els. The lowest yield in the last 90
years was in 1872, when 14,S8S.OO0
bushels were produced, while the
average for that period was 26.7l7
$50 bushels. During the last four
years the increase in production has
been marked.

loan and what interest one has to pay,
and how long does the loan run?
If you will write to the central
office of the farm loan board in
Washington, D. c., they will be
pleased to send you literature giving
all the information you desire to OBJ
tain relative to securing a loan on
your farm through the agency of
the laws enacted to this end by con-
gress. The rate of interest charged
is about six per cent and loans can
be arranged so as to run for a long
time. Loans placed on farms by
this board are arranged to run for
many years on purpose, because when
this is done one can pay the interest
and small amount Of the principal
from year to year and in the end
clear off a relatively heavy obliga-
ton without carrying an undue fl
nancial burden. You understand, OF
course, that thousands of loans have
already been placed by this board
and that the work and service per-
formed under this act have shown
the wisdom and value of this law
to the agricultural classes of the
United States.
The farm loan board has a primer
which is designed to give a person
situated as you a large amount of
information. In it many questions
are asked and the answers set down
I am sure they will
be pleased to send you a copy of
this primer.
T also suggest that you get in
touch with your county agent, as
the county agents in many parts of
Georgia have been instrumental in
having local farm loan boards Or
gained for the benefit of the con-
stituency they are endeavoring to
serve.

Crushed lime rock or ground lime
stone may be purchased from quite
a large number of concerns in
Georgia One desiring to buy this
material should communicate with
all of them and buy from the con-
Germ which will furnish it the cheap
est This is the rational business
policy to pursue in reference to
matter of this character. The high
er the limestone runs in carbonate
of lime the better adapted it should
be, ordinarily speaking, for Geor-
gia crops and soils. Prices natural
ly vary somewhat, according to
the cost of getting out the rock and
preparing it, and also on account of
the distance from the particular
mine. One should purchase, relative
Iy speaking, as close home as pos
sible, so as to save freight costs
Crushed lime rock can be applied
at almost any season of the year.
1t can be used on certain crops in
the fall to some advantage. 1t evil
IDENTIFY has eXerted some helpful in
fIuence on cotton, according to our
experiments, and may have IA
vorable action on cereals, though we
have not obtained marked re-
Spouse from it's use under the lat
ter class of crops. 1t has given us
it's largest and most certain benefits
when applied to Ieguminous crops,
such as peanuts, cowpeas, soy beans,
velvet beans and vetches. The most
economic way of applying it to
these crops is by means of a lime
distributor. These machines are on
the market and may be purchased at
a reasonable cost. This material
should be applied at the rate OF L.
900 pounds and upward per acre,
depending on the crop to be grown.
Lime should not be used on land
intended for Irish potatoes, The
lowest application will probably
serve for peanuts, while the heav-
lest application should be used on
locations where it is intended to
grow clovers, particularly alfalfa.
In that event three to five tons per
acre can be applied to advantage.

Many other concrete examples of -
similar character could be given IL
Illustrating what the farm bureaus
throughout the state in the counties
where they are operating are aC-

the state now have advisory boards
and are making efforts at further
perfecting the farm bureau. Forty
eight of these counties have had GER
tificates of appointment furnished to
the ADVISOR board members by the
College Of Agriculture.
Only tHo years efforts have been
devoted to developing the farm bu-
reau idea in this state. The farm
bureau in the county hinges upon d
definite program of work. The items
in this program of work are sent up
to the central Office from the differ
ent communities and are suggested
by the people themselves as consti-
tuting the things about which they
need help. The county agent, the
specialist from the college, and all
the different departments of the col
Iege, as we'll as all the bureaus of
the federal department of agricul-

YAH L SOW OuiOu SeeO now anu get SeIS
for next spring, or is it too late? What
kind of seed is best to get, as I want
to raise them for market?
One of the very best whitewash
mixtures for use for the purpose
indicated may be prepared as fol-
lows: Stake half bushel of I'M
slaked lime with boiling water, keep

Strain it and add peck Of salt, dis
solved in warm water, three pounds
of ground rice put in boiling water
and boiled to a thin paste; half a

in warm water; mix these we'll to-

as hot as possible with either

You can sow onion seed this fall,
though we think 1t is getting pretty
late for this purpose. In our expert
ence we have found it best to plant
onion seed somewhat earlier if sea-
sonal conditions were at all favor
able. We have secured good stands
on number of occasions from plant
ing late in August or early in Sep
TENDER. We have transplanted the
young onions successfully in the
spring and produced a fine crop
therefronl. We cannot recall that
we have ever been able to SOW the
sets as late as this and develop them
sufficiently to Justify transplanting
before late winter or early spring.
We grow all of our onion sets for
planting by sowing seed in the early
spring. We do not thin the onions
but either transplant the sets when
favorable seasons occur or else save
the small onions which develop be-
cause of the thickness of the plant
ing ana set them out early in the
fall. We feel sure you can obtain
all the onions you wish for sprins
planting by proceeding as indicated.
Yo1 will probably find the Ber-
muda onion a little too tender for
your location. We used the yellow
Danyers and the Prizetaker with sue
cess for planting in this section.
Along the gulf coast we would advise
the use of Bermuda onions, but we
think you will find the varieties we
have suggested the best for your
section.

If you have not organized a Farm
Bureau in your county the time is
ripe to do so. Get in touch with
your county agent and he will fur
nish you with the plans and informa-
ton necessary and the college will
gladly cooperate with you in in
shutting this new and highly bene-
fetal organization, the object of
which is solely to promote the well
fare of those who own, operate and
cultivate land.
One: The Farm Bureau Advisory
Board in Oconee county at the be-
ginning of this year realized need
for encouraging better cattle in the
county. The county agent told them
the best way to begin this would be
through the calf club members. 1t
became necessary to secure funds to
go outside of the county to purchase
the right kind of calves for these
boys, but the fathers of the boys did
not see the Importance of the agents
suggestion to put up the money nee
essary to bring the calves in, and the
Farm Bureau Advisory Board men,
bers obligated themselves to get the
funds to do this. They waited on
one of the bankers of the town, and
with the county agent put the prop
oSition before him so that he could
not afford to turn it down, The
advisory board members became re-
sponsible for the money to the bank
er, and the county agent with this
money and the help of the special
list from the college bought the
calves. When the calves We're brought
in several of the boys paid for them
as they received them. Others gave
their notes to the advisory board of
the Farm Bureau. The banker was
so well pleased with this arrange
ment that he suggested the use Of
the fund for other such purposes,
and the fund is now being used
through the advisory board for what
they call a revolving fund for the
purpose of bringing in better cattle,
better hogs, better seeds and the
like. This is just one effort of the
advisory board of this county this
year which is getting results.
Two: In Gwinnett at a meeting
of the advisory board of the Farm
Bureau early in the year the sub
ject of marketing was mentioned at
this meeting. The advisory board
( mem bers together with the county
agent agreed upon a, marketing ex-
change system which would apply
throughout the county. This system
has been operating during the year
at a saving in the purchase and sale
of articles mainly within the county
The system is like this: The county
agent furnishes to the committeeman

aow the Farm Bureau is Helping the
Cause


Below will be found some concrete
examples of what the Farm Bureau
has done in several counties to pro-
mote the welfare of those interested
in the cultivation of the soil and the
production and sale of ANIMALS and
farm crops. We have had county
agents for some years past and they
have done a wonderful work. In
many instances, however, they have
been left in a large measure by the
community to work out their own
salvation. The Farm Bureau is
plan devised to give the agent the
backing and support of the communi-
ty in which he works. 1t is also an
organizat ton designed for one pur-
pose only, namely that of co-ordinat-
ing the efforts of the farmers and
the various business interests in a
county and in developing community
spirit organization and workers.
Thus the needs of any particular sec
ton of the county can be given the
consideration which they merit.
brought to the attention of the CEN
trail committee and the agent sup
ported and aided in putting into eff
~
necessary to accomplish the end in
view. BY this arrangement the in
terest and support of a large num-
Der of people is won to the work
of the agent, and the sentiment of
the community as an entity put be-
hind an enterprise calculated to ad-
vance it's interests.
That this is the character of or
ganiza alton which should be fostered
and encouraged in every county is
evidenced by the facts rectted below.
1t is quite clear that a farm bureau
may be made the means of confer
ring great benefits on any community
in which it operates. The agent, as
the paid representative of the state
through the Georgia State College of
Agriculture and of the United States
government through the College of
Agriculture, is On the job all the
time, and through the medium of the
concentration of effort which is pro-
Vided for through the agency of the
Farm Bureau he can accomplish sew
eraf times as much for the benefit
of the county as he would be able
to do were he unaided.
