GOOD
CROP FOR COBB co,
SAYS SCARBOROUGH

Mr.. D. D. Scarborough, of Cobb
county, contributes the following
interesting article on what is being
done by the State College of Agri-
Couture in raising alfalfa:
"The farmers of Cobb county are
growing only little more than a half
ton of forage or hay per animal per
year. The 1920 census shows that
with an acreage of 14,412 acres plan
tied in hay crops the yield was 1902
tons, which when divided among 1885,
60 animals is only little more than
a half ton per animal Only little
part of the acreage that is planted is
in any of the biennials or perennials
like the clovers or alfalfa.
'The Georgia State College of Ag-
Iriculture has forty acres of alfalfa
some of which has been growing for
ten years without reseeding. One
been pastured with hogs, still has a
field near the hog darn, planted more
than five years ago, and which has
good stand and gives good yields.
Mr.. H. Il. Westover, an alfalfa spe-
cialist from the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, who was
visiting the college farm one day last
week, made the statement that he
has never seen better stand of al
falfa anywhere than was found in
one of the fields.
"The college has one field of alfalfa
on red land near the main building.
! 1t has been cut three to five times
per season for something like eight
years, and although there is some
grass in it now the stand is good
enough to keep. The college has no
secret in getting and keeping a stand
of alalfa. The cultivation is done
before seeding, and lime is used lib
orally where needed. An occasional
narrowing helps to keep the weeds
and grass in control.
Besides growing alalfa success
fully, the college has carried out
many tests with other BIENNIAL and
perennial forage crops. The test
plants at present have some very pro-
missing looking growths of clovers.
"a bulletin on forage crops in Geo
!rgia has been prepared by John r.
Fain and Paul Tabor of the college
staff. 1t shows that Cobb county is
in the center of the alalfa growing
section of the state. Vetch is good
in this section also.
"Cobb county has much good land
that could be devoted to growing
more hay crops to help beat the boil
weevil. Almost every large farm has
in addition to upland creek bottoms
on which grasses grow luwuriantly.
Cartainly it would be a good practice
to grow more livestock feeds and
keep money at home.

Promise of the snrinn.

Today people are not so much con-
cerned with the date or duration of
the Easter feast-unless it be the
makers and sellers of fashions. who
would like to see it come as early as
possible, the better to dispose Of their
wares. Today men and women ac-
cept the feast of gladness thankfully
whenever it comes, not bOthering about
ancient ecclesiastical disputes, but
thinking of the joy of the resurrection
and the promise of the spring to come.

Chinese School
of Journalism
Institution to Be Established
to Train Chinese Journalists

China is to have. a school of
Journalism. incidentally, not a
school of yellow Journalism as
might be Inferred from the fact
that it is to be established in
China, but one which is designed
to instruct the youth of China in
the best methods of the progress
sive, up-to-the-minute, Informative
and Notwithstanding newspa-
pers Of the United States.
Maurice E. Votaw, formerly Of
the department Of Journalism. Mis-
souri, University, is ems route to
Shanghai where he Will 4organize
in st. Johns Episcopal University
the first School of Journalism that
has ever been known in the land
Of Confucius. In CONNECTIONS with
the course weekly paper already
established and known as The Dial
will be published by the native stu
dents.
In recent letter from Rev. F.
L. Hawkes. Pott D. D., president
Of ST. Johns the motive in estab-
lishing this school of journalism
is set forth.
while public opinion is in the
stage Of formation in China" he
says, '.the Importance of good
Journalism becomes apparent. In
the courses of Journalism we are
undertaking to train our young
men so that they may know how
to influence public opinion in the
right. way
st. Johns University particularly,
is interested in this phase Of mis-
sionary effort in China because it
is becoming more and more liden-
titled with the national life of the
Chinese people. Since its founda-
ton by the old Board of Missions
Of the Episcopal Church in 1879, it
has taken a leading part in the
training of Chinese officials. Three
of the four Chinese delegates to the
Washington Conference on Arma-
ments were st. Johns graduates.
The majority of the experts and
advisers attached to the Chinese
delegation were also from that Uni
vefsity. and more than half Of them
were Christians. Several members
of the present Chinese Cabinet are
st. Johns men, and in almost ev-
er field Of Chinese official life its
graduates are at work.
Rev. Arthur Mason Sherman,
who for over twenty. years has
been in the service of the Episco-
pal church in China as a mis-
ssionary, and is now an the states
on furlough, points out that the
presence of so many ST. Johns
graduates among the men who are
doing the most enlightened work in
the rehabilitation Of China, is It
self refutation of the charge
madesin reactionary circles that the
Christian missionary movement is
aimed at the destruction OF China's
nationality; and is likewise a vim
ldication of the Episcopal Mission
ary policy of building up an en-
( flightened group of Chinese Chris
tians who will patriotically, and on
a basis Of Christian citizenship,
elevate China to position among
the self-dependent nations Of the
world.
DR.. Potts plan through the course
| in Journalism which is to be. insti-
tuted at st. Johns, is to instruct
1.-The youth Of China in the ways OF
fearless, Independent Journalism
which will cooperate with the
{ graduates of st. Johns in public
life in China in the work which
they have undertaken.
