Some Common Diseases of Corn

some common diseases OF corn
Corn is the second most important
crop we grow in Georgia 1t provides
the basis for the maintenance OF
our live stock. AS we increase our
output of corn we will increase the
prosperity of the state. We produce
centrates but not enough corn to
balance them up and insure our OBJ
tanning return commensurate with
their full feeding value. Hence the
encoura cement of corn production is
essential. Moreover, anything we
can do TO protect the crop from loss
after it is established is an advan-
tage. Therefore we should take every
with such diseases as affect the corn
crop and institute a systematic fight
against their development and
spread. BY doing so we will pre-
vent a loss amounting to some mill
lions of bushels of corn each year.
GATED is well worth while.
Among the diseases attacking
corn in this state to which atten-
ton is specifically directed at this
State College of Agriculture are
physoderma, smut, root rot, rust and
ear rot. The general characteristics
of these diseases and the best meth
DDS of combating the same are out
lined below. 1t will pay you well,
if you are a corn grower, to famil-
iariZe yourself with these diseases
and combat them as effectively as
the means at your command will
permit.
Physoderma is primarily a dis
ease of the leaf sheaf, although it
often penetrates the stem at or
near the node: producing, dark
brown rot which so weakens the
stems as to render the plant easily
broken by wind. In south Georgia
physoderma makes its appearance
about April I, occurring commonly
in home gardens. By midsummer
the disease is common over the en-
tire state, and in many sections very
severe. occasionally resulting in as
hirh rs 90 Der cent of the plants

TO SAVE BABY CHICKS
Put this in the drinking water.

Most people lose half of every
hatch. and seem to expect it. Chick
cholera or white diarrhoea is the
trouble. The U. S. Government states
that over half the chicks Matched
die from this cause.
An Avicol tablet, placed in the
drinking water will positively save
your little chicks from all such dis
eases. Inside of As hours the sick
ones will be as lively as crickets:
Avicol will keep them healthy and
make them grow and develop more
rapidly
Mrs. VIM May, Rego, Ind, writes:
81 was losing 10 or Is chicks a day
from diarrhoea before L received the
Avicol. l haven't lost a one since"
1t costs nothing to try AvicOl. If

indigestion. 1t is not unusual for
a trouble of this kind to develop
at this season of the year. l would
suggest that as in the case Of hu-
man beings you give a good laXa-
tive so as to thoroughly cleanse out
the alimentary canal and stir up the
various secretions of, the body as
much as possible. You may use
variety of materials for this purpose,
but possibly the easiest and cheap
est to administer, and we believe
the most satisfactory would be Ep-
pound and a half dissolved in warm
water. Great care should be taken
to see that the mares head is held
high so that none of the liquid will
have an opportunity to invade the
lungs. In addition to the above we
would see that the feed fed is of
wholesome nature. More digestive
troubles arise from bad feeds than
from any other source. 1t is use
less to provide a work animal with
mouldy fodder or dusty hay and eN
pect it to do well. They cannot sue
coed on bad food any better than hu
man beings.
You should also be certain that
you are feeding ration which is
reasonably well balanced. If you are
feeding corn alone you should stop
this practice. You might have the
corn ground into corn and cob meal
and mix 500 pounds of it with 500
pounds of cottonseed meal, or in the
place Of cottonseed meal you might
use peanut meal, or you might use
mixture of two-thirds of corn or
corn and cob meal and one-third pea
nut meal. Such combinations pro-
vide a satisfactory ration when fed
in conjunction with clean, bright
hay or well-selected fodder. In case
your fodder is dusty and dirty cut
it into short lengths, moiSten with
water containing a little salt and
allow to soften a few hours before
it is fed. See that your mare is wa
tered before rather than after feed
ing. When she is performing hard
work give her about fifteen to six
mixtures suggested. If she is stand

When the nrice oil cottonseed meal

was established it was necessary
naturally to establish some stand
ard as to the products which should
be put upon the market by the
of years work Indicated that a
meal containing 36 per cent protein
might be selected for this purpose
with advantage. A meal of this
grade, as you understand, contains
5:76 per cent nitrogen. If meal
We're made by mill containing a
higher percentage of protein 1t would
be allowed to charge a higher rate
for. it, the basis being 81 for each
per cent increase of protein. If
the mill failed to make a So per
tion should be for each per cent of
protein below the standard $40. In
other words. mills were not required
to make absolutely a SO per cent
safeguarded to the effect that if
he obtained a higher or a lower
per cent meal he would pay for it
in proportion to it's food or fertiliz-
ing value.
There is still per cent ammonia
meal on the market, but there has
been very little if any 7 per cent
nitrogen cottonseed meal on the
market in this state in some vars.
No doubt YOU are familiar with the
fact that the state law has permit
ted modifica lions in this direction.
The food administration had nothing
to do with the establishment of the
state standards, but established one
of it's own based on what it believed
to be fair and just to all the inter
ests concerned. I am quite sure.
therefore, that your farmers can OBJ
tain as high grade meal now as
they could last year, or as they have
likely been using for some time past.
You no doubt. understand there is a

we here speak of nitrogen.

In planting sorghum for syrup you
should prepare the ground very
carefully and lay off in rows about
four feet apart. Fertilize the crop
with a mixture containing at least
3 per cent nitrogen and s per cent
phosphoric acid. Under normal con-
ditions we would advise the use Of
as much as per cent of potash. At
present prices, however, l doubt the
disability of your investing in this
material at the present time. In
lieu thereof you might use some
ashes scattered along the drill row
or scattered broadcast over the
ground and narrowed in before it is
prepared for planting. One thou
sand pounds of ashes per acre can
be used to good advantage
AS carriers of nitrogen and phos-
phoric acid we suggest that you use
sulphate of ammonia, cottonseed
meal or peanut meal along with acid
phosphate. A mixture of 900 pounds
of acid phosphate, 1870 pounds of
sulphate of ammonia, and $40 pounds
cottonseed meal, will give you a very
good formula to use.
We presume that sugar drip sor-
ghum is one of the best varieties for
you to plant for the purpose you
have in mind. Seed at the rate of
8 to 10 pounds per acre. Remember
that sorghum should be given clean
and frequent cultivation when it is
young so as to encourage the growth
of the young plants and keep weeds
and trash in check.

I do not think the injury to your
vine need concern you greatly. We
would advise you to cover it up with
soil to the depth it was previously
buried and leave it in this condi-
ton. 1t will soon heal over and
the bleeding stop. At this time of
year when the sap is beginning to
rise it is pumped out of the ground
with tremendous force and any lit
tie cut or abrasion will cause a
heavy flow of sap from the wounded
part. Trees trimmed at this time
of the year will bleed profusely. 1t
is at this season of the year fur
Their north that maple trees are tap
ped and the sap gathered therefrom
and boiled down to make sugar.
Great quantities of sap may be taken
from a tree year after year with
out impairing it's vitality. This is
Hlso true of vines such as. you de-
'cribe. 1t is, of course, better to
rim or prune them when they are
more completely dormant than they
re early in the season. When vio-
lent bleeding takes place at the end
Of stem it is sometimes good prac-
tice to scar it with a hot iron.
We hardly think this practice would
be advisable in connection with the
root of a grape vine unless it has
been out of the ground for some
years and is what is known as a
surface root In that event scar
ing it might be all right. We would
prefer, however, to cover it with

.osers of War Work Posi-

:. on Land
BY rREDHR1oK M. KERRY

Girls who have lost jobs as war
workers are to be given chance to
join the $4,000 "farmerettes" who
last year stepped into the breach
created by the national draft and
helped the farmers harvest their
crops.
Officials of the United States en-
,ployment service, with which the
Woman's Land army has become af-
filiated, have estimated that $780,
900 American farms will be under
manned for the 1919 crop season to
such an extent that the food program
for the world will be imperiled--

returning from overseas" said Mrs.

elected president Of the w. L. A. Of

training course for women in food
production and conservation on her
beautiful estate, East HILL" in

came the pioneer in New England Of
the woman-to-land movement. This
year she will again place her estate
at Peterborough at the disposal of
the farmerettes for training women
farm workers.

dreds of returning soldiers are re-
fusing to go back to farm jobs, pre-
ferring the shorter hours and better
wages which the industrials afford.

furnish considerable amounts of food
for hogs. Personally we would pre-
fer to take a few acres of land and
divide them. off into temporary or
permanent pastures and grow a sue
cession of crops thereon for grazing
down by hogs. All of the crops
mentioned by you can be used, such
as sweet potatoes and chufas, but
we would add to this list early and
late maturing varieties of cowpeas,
soy beans and peanuts. By grow
ing cereals seeded early in the fall
and using rape as a winter and
spring pasture you can provide your
hogs with suitable grazing crops for
the greater part of the year.
A number of our friends have
complained about their inability to
secure satisfactory service from
nurseries located outside the state.
We have had no chance to verify
the facts, however, and cannot speak
definitely relative to this point. We
believe you could get very good serv-
ice from some of the nurseries To-
Gated in Georgia, and it is generally
best as rule to buy trees and
shrubs for planting which have been
produced as near as possible to the
local environment in which they are
to be grown. ..f

RECORD,HARVEST

Prices for Products Were
Much Higher in 1918 Than
in 191O-Better Results
Yet This Year

| WASHINGTON, April 8.-TwC.Iry-
/ one and one-third billions of dollars
were grown by the American farmer
/ in 1918.
A record harvest of wealth never
before equaled in the rural United
| States is this preliminary estimate
made from reports to the department
of agriculture. 1t includes the total
value of all crops, animals and AMI
NAL products of 1918 based on prices
| paid at the farm.
| It exceeds the total value of the
1917 harvest by two billion dollars
| and is 1877 per cent greater than the
average amount pocketed by the
American farmer from 1910 to 1914
| inclusive.
Fortified with this record prosper
ity, the American farmer now is be-
ginning 1919 planting with the hope
of raising the total value of all prod
ucts to twenty-five billion dollars.
! The first important crop forecast was
to be made today by the department
of agriculture.
The 1918 record harvest is divided
| this way: Crops, fourteen billions;
animals raised and animal products,
seven billions.
Average prices paid for some i'm
portant products on December Is
