For his necessities.
So go yourself and do not send:

Seek out the soul that is adrift,
Bring gold to help but love TO lift.

spring.
The turning under of cotton stalks
ir the fall before frost is a very i'm
portant measure in controlling the
weeVil On the larger farms this
can be done to best advantage by
the use of tractor and disk plow
A two-horse mouldboard plow with
d heavy chain attached to double
tree and beam of pillow to pull stalks
in furrow is very effective. A six
teen-year-old negro with such two
horse outfit has plowed under green
stalks on the College farm. AS soon
as stalks are plowed under, grain
may be sown on such land, although
it should first be narrowed with a
disk harrow and rolled If possible.
A study of the fertilizer expert
ments carried on in cooperation with
farmers in different parts of the state
show that about 600 pounds per acre
of a high-grade fertilizer has given
an average increase of about 3S5
pounds seed cotton per acre. With
CHEAP fertilizers this increase will
give very good profit, but with the
prices quoted at this time, January,
1921, a very small profit will be re-
allied on this basis, when the cost Of
applying fertilizer and cost of har-
vesting increased yield, ct cetera, are
considered
Where fertilizer can be purchased
at a fairly low cost from 100000
pounds of fertilizer containing $40
per cent phosphoric acid and 2-3 per
cent of nitrogen and potash can be
used to advantage. On soils already

made. Results of experiments on the

The Visible Supply of Cotton

There is much debate at the pres
3 MT time as to the amount of cotton
~ merchantable quality on hand.
E'here are some who hold that we do
] ot need to produce any more cot
lon because of the large carry -over
which will pertain this year. In an
3ndeavor to throw some light on
his subject a careful study of the
otton situation has been undertaken
Ry various agencies associated with
4 he Georgia State College of Agricul-
lure.
To abandon cotton production alto
3ether would certainly be serious
curse, that the present low price has
ad a most depressing effect on our
nancial and economic situation. The
keevil has now spread his ravages
zntirely over Georgia and the extent
B nd nature of the havoc wrought by
! i'm is evidenced by the relatively
mail yield made in this state last
! ear.
1t seems from all the facts and fig
res which can be gathered together
hat the best plan of action to fol-
1bw would be to reduce the cotton
creage to a reasonable degree and
b make it a suppleme ntary crop. The
Eata presented in this article Is GER
Rinly of interest to every cotton
power at this time. Mr.: R. r: Childs

6. Reducing toll from diseases.
Under boil weevil conditions and
at the prices likely to prevail, cot
ton cannot be profitably produced on
land normally producing less than
one-half bale per acre. 1t Is realized
that much of our land cannot be
planted in cotton on this basis, and
the handling of such land is dis
cussed in the following paragraph.
Land that is rich in nitrogen,
where an excessive growth of stalk
is made, is not suited for cotton UNI
der weevil conditions, but such areas
are not often found except in small
spots. Rich bottom lands are not
suited to cotton, due to excessive
growth of weed.
Continuous cropping of land in cot
ton offers no opportunity to suild
up poor soils, but where a sufficient
area is devoted to the crops neces-
sary for all home supplies and in
some localities the growing of other
cash crops, it will be found that the
fields can be rotated so that cotton
will not follow cotton.
Velvet beans in corn can be grown
in all parts of the state except the
extreme northern part. Cow peas,
soy beans, vetch and other 1egumes
grown in the rotation will add vege-
table matter and nitrogen to the soil,
| thereby lessening the amount Of nit
rogen to be supplied in commercial
| fertilizers.
| 1t has been shown that fall plow-
| ing alone will often increase the yield
| of seed cotton 100000 pounds per
acre. Land can be plowed deeper i"
the fall and the fresh plowed land
exposed to the action Of freezing and
thawing through the winter liberates
| plant food and improves the physical
condition.
More Of the water falling during
the heavy winter rains is absorbed
for use by the cotton crop. AL

Appropriate Funds to
Eradicate Cattle Tick

A delegate to a conference OF
banks recently stated to a Louisiana
parish police jury that If they jeop-
ardized the work of tick eradication
by not making adequate appropria-
tion for it, the banks would be fore
ed to call in their loans on cattle,
amounting to $4,000 in that parish.
This is information Just received in
report by the United States de-
partment of agriculture, and those
in charge of the tick eradication
work give it as an example of the
widespread interest with which
many parts of the south where, tick
quarantine is still in force unite in
their efforts to exterminate the blood
sucking tick.
The report states that the dele
gate pointed out that the cattle bust
ness was the principal business in
the parish More than two-thirds
of the land is being utilized for this
industry, and the stoppage of tick
eradication would mean bankruptcy
to nine-tenths of the population of
the parish. Needless to say. the po-
lice jury of the parish made adequate
appropriation, and will begin at once
campaign to completely eradicate
the tick, says the report.
