GEORGIA

In round numbers there are thir-
ty-seven and half million acres of
land in Georgia. What is this land
worth? What does it represent in
is the most fundamental of our re-
sources and yet probably the least
appreciated or understood We have
only begun to scratch the surface
of the ground, and, up to the pres
ent time, we have wasted more of
this golden treasure of plant food
than we have utilized l believe l
am safe in saying that we have de-
stroyed as much wealth in the Grea
ton of things we now possess as
that represented in dollars and cents
at present value. Such a wasteful
tinue always, ana it behooves us
once in while to stop and take ac-
count of what we own and what
our revenues may be made in view
of the new facts which science and
investigation are constantly bring
ing to light. If we may judge of
what has been accomplished in other
parts of the world, S7,500,000 acres
of land may be made to feed and
clothe a population of 100000 to
%. 100000 people All of these folks
would not be required to operate the
land, but a good portion of them
would be engaged in industries Of
a more or less varied character. They
would, of course, have to be sup
piled with the raw materials on
which commerce and industry are
based. but the soils under judicious
management should be able to easily
meet the requirements of the situa-
ton. "a T. al
Can any human being imagine what
Georgia would be like if developed
on the basis described above? L
think not. But there. is no section
of the earth where a higher olivia
ton could or would. prevail than
indicated were attained. This pic
ture of the imagination will be re-
allied some day. In fact, 1t is now
in the making. The perfection of
the task will be brought, about in
a shorter or longer period of time
in proportion as we come to a pet

nature which a wise and generous
providence has placed at our disposal

and utilization of these agencies Will
the degree of progress we make in
therefore, all that we could ask or
hope it to be, and the sole question
to be considered now is the degree
of intelligent interest and skill we
shall exercise in making it as al
Turing as the prospects warrant.
This being true, let us now consider
the present status of our farming
interests. ~
OF the indicated area of Georgia
only about 26,000,000 acres are in
farms. Of this amount, only 12,50O,-
600 acres would be classed as i'm
proved land. The balance would be
represented by wooded or semi-wood-
ed areas, by cut-over, waste, or
eroded land, by swamp sections,
loWlandS and pastures. From the
so-called 100000 acres of i'm
proved land we are obtaining a mar
velous return, for statistics indicate
these lands produce 100000 in

TIMELY HINTS
TO THE PERSON
WHO GARDENS

Before beginning to plant the gar
den, care should be taken that the
soil is dry enough so that it will
crumble in the hands. In planning
what to raise, it is wise for the
gardener to confine himself to the
finer vegetables and those which are
easily perishable, as these cannot be
procured at the stores in first-class
condition.
Rich Soil for Peas
To insure large and early crop
of peas, put about four or five
inches of manure in deep burrows
and drop the seeds directly on top.
This should be done as soon as the
ground can be worked. In raising
lettuce, plant only short row at
time as 1t soon gets too old to be
good.
Chinese Cabbage
The. seed of spinach should be
planted only after the ground gets
warm after having been soaked over
night. The plants should not be
crowded. A not very well-known
cabbage. 1t can be cooked like ordi-
nary cabbage, but the best way to
prepare it is as salad served with
mayonraise or French dressing. The
seeds should not be planted until
late June.
Chicory Is Profitable
Chicory makes an excellent salad.
The seed should be planted early
and the plants must be we'll Guilt
waited. In the fall, the roots are
dug UP and stored in a cold place.
They must be forced from time to
time in boxes of earth in the cell
lar. From these roots come the
white heads which are sold as
French endive in restaurants at eX-
orbitant prices.
All these early crops must be
grown quickly, which can be accom-

Planting Tennessee Mi1let ON Low
L. n. S.. Appalachee, Ca, writes:
wish TO plant some rather wet land to
a hay crop, and wish to know if Ger
man millet would be desirable for this
purpose if planted on piece of we'll
drained new bottom land? Would it
make crop if sown now?
Tennessee or German milIet may
be planted on land such as you have
described at this season of the year
with very good advantage. If sown
now, millet should yield a crop of
nay In sixty to ninety days. 1t is
quick maturing crop, and will make a
yield of from one to five tons per
acre of cured hay. Much depends
on the richness of the land, the meth
cd of fertilization followed and sea-
sonal conditions. On rich bottom
land you may not find it necessary to
apply any fertilizer, but on our or
binary, average Georgia soils 500
pounds of an SO could be used to adj
vantage. The fertilizer should of
course be put on at the time the mil
let is seeded. We prefer always to
drill in this crop rather than to
broadcast it. When drilling is fol-
lowed less seed is required and a.
better covering of the seed is secured.
Millet should be cut for hay when
Just coming into the dough stage. If
to become ripper than this,
the seed may over-stimulate the Sc
erection of urine which materially
lessons the desirability and value of
the crop as hay. Use about a peck
to half bushel per acre, and you
may plant as soon as the land is in
good condition for seeding. Millet
will sometimes make a second crop
from the original stand, but this is
not likely to happen under the eli
matte conditions prevailing in Geor-
gia as the hot, dry weather of the
summer will probably kill it out.
This crop may be sown in the fall
for hay making purposes. You,
could, of course, use Sudan grass in
place of millet if you prefer. 1t will
maintain itself better during the sea-
son and, under favorable conditions
may yield two or three cuttings in
the year. We do not think Sudan
grass will make as fine and desirable
hay. however, as that obtained from
millet.
