better means for distributing the
same, we should be able to make
very substantial progress along all
lines in the next decade.
1t is interesting to observe that
the acreage devoted to corn was en-
larged by per cent, that set aside
for oats by 80 per cent and that de-
voted to cotton by Is per cent. The
total acreage of improved land IN
1900 was 10,615,644 acres. In 1910
it was 12.298,0117 acres. This repre-
sents a gain of 1873 per cent in acre
certain, about 100000 acres of
land was utilized as AGRICULTURAL
truck, fruit and pasture lands.
The total value of our implements
and machinery in 1920 was $9,804,-
O10. BY 1910 this had become $2O,.
948,O56, which represents a gain of
1873 per cent: The :, figures for f or
satisfied they will show a very great
gain over those of 1910. 1t is this
addition to our farm equipment that
has made possible some Of the sub
stantial and gratifying gains made
in the last decade. In this connec-
how the South compared in agrlcul-
tural growth with the balance of the
country.
Turning aside from the considera-
ton OF StatlSt1CS concerning NeOI-
gia for a minute, it appears that in
the matter of grain-growing the
south made a per capita gain of 3.5
bushels as compared with 4 bushels
for the United States. For each
1000 inhabitants in the south we
made a gain of five head of work
stock as compared with loss of II
head for the United States. In the
case of cattle. our loss in the. south
was 1870 head per 1000 habitants
as compared with a gain of II head
in the United States. The figures
for hogs show a gain of 1879 head
per 1000 inhabitants for the south
against an increase of PIT head per
1000 inhabitants for the United
States.
Up to the present time we have
been able to reach and touch the
lives of hut comparatively few Of
our producers of farm crops. No eff
fective means has been developed
as yet for providing effective instruc-
ton in this direction insofar as the
secondary schools are concerned. II

of the principles of agriculture in

after all, these institutions are only

SMOKES. HIS MEAT
BY PAINTING 1T
Utah Farmers Simple Method
Gives Wonderfully Delicious
Flavor and Saves 20 Pounds
in Every 100.

Anyone can give hams and bacon
a wonderfully delicious flavor and
save time, money and meat through
the easy curing method used with
success by w. H. Laws, of Richfield,
Utah.
Mr.. Laws simply paints his meat
with Wright's Smoke. By this meth
cd he smokes meat perfectly in a
few minutes without fire, trouble or
loss. Wright's Smoke gives the meat
a better flavor than the old method,
keeps all insects away and saves 20
pounds in every 100 by preventing
shrlnkage. Mr.. Laws sugar cures
his meat with a mixture of 81 lbs.

9eorgia's Record of Progress
AND SUCCESSFUL FARMING
By AMpREWM. eSOlNE

What has Georgia done in the last
ten years to commend her to the ia
Vorable attention of the other south
ern states? How do we stand as
producers of agricultural wealth?
Have we had the same relative pros
perity as our sister states or have we
achieved a larger measure of success
as live stock, grain and cotton farm
erS than our neighborS? If facts such
as l have indicated can be correlated,
We should be in position to Judge
of the strength or weakness of our
fundamental industry and so outline
a program of development that will
insure our making progress along
the right lines. A careful survey of
existing data indicates that our
record as an individual state is one
of which we have reason to be
proud.
The figures presented in SO far as
they relate to Georgia and the south
cover a period of thirteen years. The
figures for the United States are on
1909 and 1919. We commonly speak
of these records, however, as of 1910
and 1920. 1t was not possible to
secure the data for the country as
whole on any other basis. The rea-
sons for selecting the figures for 1907
and 1920 were as follows: In the
year 1907 an attempt was made TO
formulate a scheme of agricultural
education of statewide proportions
for Georgia. The purpose was to or
ganize this work on the basis of eX-
tension teaching and give the Geor-
gia State College of Agriculture the
state for a campus. All that has been
accomplished should not by any
means be attributed to the work of
this institution. but it is certainly
entitled to a considerable share of
credit for blazing out the trails to
follow. 1t also provided fundamental
instruction and information and as
sisted materially in the development
institute and follow along live stock
and agricultural lines. l would be
the very last person to decry the
magnitude or Importance of the
service performed by any other in
stitution. agency or individual. There
is surely glory enough to go round
and there is room for all because
the record of progress set forth in
detail below is certainly one of
which the state and it's people have
abundant reasons to be proud. Every
one who feels that they are entitled
to share in the accomplishment
of the work under discussion will. I
trust, understand that the particular
end he has. attempted to serve is
fully recognized and appreciated. To
try to enumerate all the agencies and
individuals who have contributed to
the cause would be impossible, and I
believe I would be less likely to Of
fend or do injustice to any one by
making general statement rather
than attempting to particulariZe. [
am sure the Georgia State College Of
Agriculture feels grateful for its as

am lonely girl from Georgia
coming to you for some advice. L am .
Is years of age. l am corresponding
with boy IS years of age. He seems
to love me dearly and 1 am sure [
love him. Is it any harm for one
girl to go three or four miles to
church with boy? Do you think I
am too young to go with the boys?
What does a boy mean when he
win1s at a girl? Is it any harm to
let a boy kiss a girl in a play? Is
it any harm for girl to accept a
present from boy? Is it any harm
for girl to send her picture to a
boy? Is it any harm for a girl to
smile at a boy? Thanking you for
advice. Please print this from
BLACK EYES.
I see nothing improper having
young man to escort you to
church. Winking means nothing.
1t is silly and do not pay any at
tention to it. Ignore it. 1t is
not refined or good manners for a
man to wink and smirk at girl.
If the play" calls for kissing I
suppose there isn't any harm
meant, but at the same time, the
cheek might do as well, if it
has" to be done. Be sure you
know the boy very we'll before
you send your picture to him.
No harm to have a CHEEKY coun-
tenance.
I'm coming to you for advice, as
you have helped so many others. I'm
sure you can help me. I'm 10 years
old, have blue eyes, medium COM
pleXion, black hair and I'm going
with a boy 16 years old. He is
very fond of me, and he is often
giving me presents. Do you think
1 ought to accept them? I'm going
with another boy 20 years old and
I like him best, but he doesn't seem
to care so much for me. He'll go
with me once rtwice a month,
and then he kicks me sky high.
Do you think 1 ought to break up
with him or go on? Which do you
think 1 ought to go with? Hoping
to see this in the next Journal.

vided we can secure the necessary
funds to enable us to place the vital

the next ten years will be measured

Cases similar to that described by
you are rather frequently met with.
The causes of this trouble are not
clearly understood, and no very eff
fective remedy has apparently been
discovered as yet. Presuma bly, the
loss of the calf is due to the develop
ment of a specific bacterium. It
multiplies in sufficient numbers to
produce the condition about which
you write. Naturally, the membranes
of the reproductive organs become
infested by such large numbers of
these bacteria that they reproduce
the same condition and result from
time to time.
We might advise you to use va
rious disinfecting solutions or en-
ploy a veterinarian. About all we
can suggest for you to do ordinarily
would be to wash the affected parts
and organs very thoroughly with a
other standard disinfectant The
continuance of this treatment from
time to time for a while might af-
ford relief. The chances are, in an
aggravated case such as you de-
scribe, however, that little can be
accomplished by this process. and
unless this COW is wonderfully val
liable one we would be disposed to
advise that you fatten her and re-
place her with another animal. We
have seen cows treated and this
| trouble overcome. but for the most
part it has seemed 70 us to be cheap
er and more desirable to dispose of
them than to so to the expense and
| labor involved when the outcome is
as uncertain as it has been in our eX-
| perienCe.
