CENTRAL. ROAD URGES
AID In SAFETY DRIVE

The Caseral of Georgia railway
urges the cooperation Of its patrons
in the nationwide Careful Cross
ing Campaign" which will be in prog
ress during June, July, August and
September by the safety section of
the American Railway association. In
statement printed in today's paper
President w. A. Winburn says that
these four months have in the past
been the worst of the year for motor
vehicle grade-crossing accidents, The
seriousness of the problem is appar
ent from the fact that there is now
one motor vehicle for every ten per
sons in the United States.
In 1920 there were 3,012 grade
crossing accidents in which 1928
persons were killed and 1877 injur-
ed. Not one of these accidents would
have occurred if the drivers had
stopped, Looked and Listened" The
railways are powerless to prevent
accidents that are due to the negli-
gence of drivers, though every other
kind of accident shows gratifying re-
auctions in recent years. 1t would re.
quire more than twelve billions of
dollars to eliminate the grade cross,
ings in the United States, and many
years of time. Caution at the cross
ings on the part of the drivers will
so far as safety is concerned give
the same result as the expenditure OF
twelve billions.
In closing his statement Mr.. Win.
burn says "By cooperation with ou1
patrons we have found many ways
in which we can render them excep.
tional service, and our patrons, in
turn, have served us WE'LL"

first cultivation of cotton. The big
problem is to rush the cotton to ma
turity in 90 to 100 days In this
fight to control the boil weevil and
bring about a readjusted system of
farming, commercial fertilizer will

2. The choosing of a good va

8. Push the crop from the first

How to Play Safe In Spite of
Weevil Is Told by u. S. Expert

tilted judiciously and a strenuous
fight made against the weevil. Live
stock should, in a limited way, fur
nish a supplemental cash crop to
cotton.
We find from the 1919 census that
Jasper county produced just about
enough meat for home use, averaging
around four head of hogs per farm.
These farmers could easily increase
this number of hogs to as many as
ten head per farm, thus haing six
surplus hogs to each farm as a money
crop.
The sale of chickens and eggs in
Jasper county, according to the 1919
census, averaged for the entire coun-
ty about S. per farm. 1t would be
easily possible for each farm to pro-
duce 500 worth of poultry products
which would make a substantial adj
dition to the farm revenue of the
county.
Every farmer should keep a few

there will be surplus of cream. This
can either be sold in the form of
butter produced at home, or if there
is creamery near the surplus cream
can be sold as sour cream. This will
bring in a small revenue each month
which will help meet the current eX-
penses of the farm.
The following cropping system is
one that might be used in your sec
ton:
On each 35 acre unit of cultivated
land the following crops are plant
ed: Is acres of cotton, ) acres of
corn in five foot rows with a row of
peanuts in the middle and velvet
beans planted in the drill with the
! corn, 5 acres of corn in five foot
rows with a row of soy beans in the
middle, acres of rye and 1 acre of
wheat, all of the small grains to be
followed by either cow peas or soy
beans for either a gram or hay crcp,
and 5 acres to be devoted to miscel-
laneous crops, such as sugar cane
| for syrup, sweet and Irish potatoes,
peanuts, grazing crops for hogs, etc.
AS far as possible cotton should not
lbe planted after cotton, but should
be followed on land that was Planted
to a legume crop the previous year.
The above plan would provide the
necessary feed for live stock on the
farm and a small surplus of crops
other than cotton for sale.
1t should be remembered that cot
ton is, and will continue to be, the
South's best cash crop. The problem
is to wisely readjust the system of
farming under the changed condi-
tions brought about by the weeyil.
1t is still possible to grow good
crops of cotton under weev;l condi-
lions, but a few lessons must be
learned and learned thoroughly be-
fore this can be done. Briefly stated
the problem is as follows:
/. Fertilize cotton judiciously
with a fertilizer containing quick
acting nitrates. Some experiments
have shown that 200 pounds of acid
phosrhates and 100 pounds of nitrate
of soda, applied before planting cot
ton, will give an increase of as much
as 500 pounds of seed cotton per
acre under weevil conditions. The
nitrates should be applied either be-
fore planting or at the time of the

requested Senator w. J. Harris to
find out what crops the Depart
boil weeevi. Senator Harris took up
ommend for planting in Jasper
county, Ga, in view of the neces-
sity for diversi6cation because of
the destruction of cotton by the
boil weevil. Senator Harris took up
the matter Immediately, and A. {.
True, director of the States Rela-
tions Service, has just replied in
behalf of the department. AS this
information doubtless applies with
equal force to nearly all parts of
Georgia, a copy of MIR. True's let
ter is published herewith.
Dear Senator Harris: Your letter
to the secretary of agriculture has
just been forwarded to the States
Relations Service for attention and
reply in regard to crops to grow in
Jasper county, Georgia, to supple
ment the cotton crop under weevil
conditions.
There is no crop we can recommend
that satisfactorily takes the place
of cotton for this section. Various
truck crops are grown in the South
in a limited way, but it is easy tC
bring about an reproduction In
any of these crops. Last year the
Southeast Georgia watermelon grow
ers received good returns from q
limited crop of melons. The plant
ing of melons in 1922 has been more
than doubled and there is some dan
ger of over-production.
Sugar cane for syrup crop dur
ing the period of the war proved a
profitable crop for the farmers in
the southeastern part of the cotton
territory. 1t has been very difficult,
however, Cor the farmers to dispose
of the syrup they producel in 1871,
and much of It is still on hand as
they were unable to find a satis;fac-
tory market price for it.
In looking at the censdE figure
for Jasper county, we note that in
1919 the farmers planted 27,171
acres of corn which produced a yield
of 314,08S bushels, making an aver
age of lis bushels per acre. The
farmers of Jasper county cannot hope
to make corn, when planted alone, a
money crop at present prices with
this low average yield. By greatly
increasing the nitrogen content of
the soil by growing and turning un-
der leguminous crops or by the jul
dicious use of commerci>l fertilizer,
this yield Of corn may be doubled.
If nitrate of soda or other forms of
nitrate can be purchased cheap
enough, it is believed possible to dou-
Bile this yield of corn by the applica-
ton of 200 pounds of acid phosphate
and $50 pounds of nitrate of soda. If
yield of 25 to 80 bushels of corn
per acre can be secured without too
heavy an outlay for commercial fer
tilizer, corn in combination with le-
gumes, can be made a profitable
crop.
Cow peas, soya beans, velvet beans
and peanuts have all been used as a
money crop in the territory invaded
by the boil weevil, but throughout a
period of years none of these have
proved an entirely satisfactory
money crop as a substitute for cot
ton.
There is one safe advice to give
the cotton farmer of this territory,
and that is to grow all the grain,
hay, meat, syrup, fruits and vegeta-
bles for farm needs and plant a
limited acreage of cotton as sur
plus cash crop.
The cotton planted should be fer
