BY THORNTON w. BURGESS
The Smartness of Shadow the
Weasel
If you are smart make up your
mind
That others just as smart you'll find.
Shadow the Weasel.
IN all the Green Forest there is
no smarter small person than
Shadow the Weasel. He has to
be smart. Yes, sir, he has to be
smart. You see he lives almost alto
gether on other little people, and if
he were not smart enough to catch
them he would soon starve to death.
So Shadow has learned all about the
habits of his neighbors and just
what they are likely to do when he
is after them.
When he started for the dear Old
Briar Patch he hoped to surprise
Peter Rabbit and Mrs. Peter. OF
course, he was disappointed when
he got there and found that they
were nowhere in the dear Old Briar
Patch. He ran all through it to make
sure. He ran along every one of
Peters little paths. He looked in
every nook and corner.
EITHER they have gone off visit
ing, or they saw me coming, and
have left the dear Old Briar Patch"
muttered Shadow, and snarled with
disappointment. "They were here
only a few moments ago. My nose
tells me that. Their scent is still
strong. They have been running
about here in a great hurry. That
probably means that they saw me
coming. The only place they could
go to without being seen by me is
to the Old Pasture. Probably ] will
find their trail leading straight up
there"
found that trail. He galloped along
it eagerly. The scent was SO fresh
that it was easy to follow. When he
reached the place where Peter and
Mrs. Peter had separated he paused
for a moment. He understood just
what had happened. Mrs. Peters
trail ended, but Peters kept right
on. Shadow knew that my making
little circle he would easily pick
up Mrs. Peters trail again. But this
didn't seem worth while with
Peters trail unbroken, so he kept
on after Peter. He chuckled wick
edly.
"Peter is scared half to death"
he muttered. II can tell it by the
big jump he has taken. If he keeps
on like that he will soon be too tired
to run
Shadow galloped along, and
though he did not appear to be hur-
rying he went fairly fast. This way
and that the trail led him through
the Old Pasture. AT last he came to
bramble tangle in the far corner.
There a new scent tickled his nose.
There had been two Rabbits in there
instead of one, and this new scent
was not the scent of little Mrs.
Peter.
1t didn't take Shadow a minute
to fihd out that the trails in that
J. able tangle were all mixed up.
He knew exactly what had happened
there. He knew that those two Rab-
bits had run this way and that way
to make that trail cross and re-
cross so as to puzzle him.
Shadows wicked little eyes snap
ped. "That's an, old trick" said he.
'Those Rabbits are silly fellows to
try to fool me with any such old
trick as this. L learned that trick
before was big enough to leave my
mother. All I need do is to make a
circle around this bramble tangle
and somewhere 1 will find where
they left it"
So Shadow left the bramble tan
gle and began to run around it a
short distance away from it. Old

Visitors View Farms
Of Turner County as
Diversification Models

ASHBURN, Ca, Jan. 31.-A dele
cation of fifteen men reached here
last night from Mcintosh county to
look at the Turner county farms to-
day. A delegation of fifty came to-
day from the neighborhood of AL
bany.
The Turner county permanent
prosperity program. which is that
of the Georgia association, is receiv-
ing wide notice and the delegations
from Daugherty and Mcintosh are
planning to start the Georgia asso-
citation program in their respective
counties.
Geo. 7. Belts, president of the
Georgia association, states that it
hopes to have the permanent pros
perity program in at least fifty cOun-
ties this year. He states that it is
the one way to beat the boil weevil
and make all Georgia prosperous.
The delegations were shown some
of the dairy and poultry farms of
the county and returned at noon to
luncheon at the hotel.
In the afternoon there were talks
by representatives here on how to
get the farmers organized behind
movement of the kind.
Visits were made to the creamery
and the mammoth 10,O00-egg hatch
cry. The creamery is steadily in
creasing in the volume of its bust
ness, and the hatchery has already
more eggs than necessary each time
to fill it to it's capacity.
President Belts of the Georgia as
ISOLATION announced that a campaign
is being put on in quite a number
of counties now to get them lined
up on the program which has done
so much to revolutionize conditions
in Turner county.

Rotating Crops on Land Devoted to
Cotton

writes: Would you advise
planting cotton on fourth year
woods new ground? The land
is very rich. The boil weevil
was bad last year. What variety
would you suggest, and how
should the land be prepared and
fertilized?
There is no objection to planting
cotton on land of the character de-
scribed in your letter, provided you
are willing to use all the resources
at your command in fighting the boil
weevil. Simply to plant cotton on
this land with the expectation of
producing a crop under the methods
of practice followed in the past
would constitute a waste of time and
energy. Moving your cotton to an
other area of land would not insure
it's being free of the boil weevil as
this insect readily traverses COnsid.

until it finds a cotton plant on which

would prepare this land immediate

done. Then plant the cotton just

the cotton out to about twelve
inches in the drill row. Leave one
or two stalks to the hill. Work it

Standish Long Staple Varieties OF
Cotton

G.. 3. G., Thomson, Ca, writes:
What is the best long staple
cotton to plant in this section?
Would you advise the planting
of Meade Gotten? l wish to
plant about 40 acres. How much
seed to the acre?
Of the long staple upland varle-
ties of cotton tested here at the
college last year, Lightning Express
and Delfos made the best record.
They did better last year than they
have in some other seasons. As you
doubtless know, any one variety OF
cotton that may be selected will not
stand at the head of the list in
variety test every year. We have
cultivated these varieties long
enough, however, to feel that we can
recommend them to the favorable
consideration of those who desire to
cultivate long staple upland varie-
ty, The Lightning Express produced
a lint of little better than an inch
in length and classed as middling.
The Delfos yielded longer lint than
the Lightning Express, and classed
as strict middling. 1t was worth
about four cents a pound more than
the Lightning Express. The Meade
cotton produced the longest staple
of all, and classed as strict middling.
It brought forty cents pound as
compared with twenty-six cents for
lightning Express. While it did not
make as large a yield as the two
other varieties mentioned, the returns
per acre were very good, The Meade
is a variety which has been grown
to a considerable degree in Georgia
for some years past. 1t has made
a very good record. We know Of
some farmers who are cultivating it
exclusively, and have done very well
with it in spite of weevil infesta-
ton. 1t should do very well on

son and under the climatic condi-
tons which prevail there. We think

The amount of seed required to
plant an acre will depend very much
on the way in which you handle this
proposition. If you plant in drills
rather thickly, you will obtain a good
stand. There is no reason why, UNI

cultivated areas?
We have made a very extensive
study of the pasture problem IN the
state of Georgia, and our findings
might be summed up appropriately
as follows:
In the northern part of Georgia,
Lespedeza and Bermuda Grass COM
bine we'll, and may be used with ad-
vantage on both hill and bottom
lands. Dallis grass and white clover
will do we'll on bottom lands, and
on rich uplands. In south Georgia,
carpet grass does we'll on bottom
lands. On clay lands, and other
types of heavy, red lands, Lespe-
deza will do fairly we'll in the south
ern sections of the state 1t will
not be so satisfactory on thin or
light soils. The same statement APP
plies with equal force to Bermuda
grass. Carpet grass will do fairly
we'll on locations of this type in your
section of Georgia. The native Pas
bulums promise to be of considerable
service in your section Of Georgia,
and their cultivation should there
fore be encouraged.
We hardly think that the mixture
you propose using, even under the
most favorable circumstances, would
choke down and hold in check the
growth and development of other
grasses and weeds. Weeds, OF
course, constitute one Of the per-
manent enemies of grass lands, and
one must fight them in practically
all locations, or they will in the
end overrun the pasture. We do
not think there is any danger of
grass ever becoming a pest in your
section. 1t is our opinion that the
low;lying lands along the creek and
river bottoms of south Georgia will
provide the best area on which to
grow Lespedeza and carpet grasses.

writes: I am planning to grow
this spring some early tomatoes,
cabbage adm collards. / am plan
ming to use manure-heated hot
bed. When should the seed be
planted, and what varieties
would you recommend?
Tomatoes should be started in hot
beds in February. The plants may
+, set out in the open field any
time from April to July. The depth
to plant the seed is from l to 2
inches. The seed may be sown in
very narrow rows in a hotbed or
cold frame, and then transplanted
while the plants are young. 1t is
good practice to transplant the
younS plants into paper containers
which may be later set out III the
drill row. The tomatoes will start
off much more quickly when han
died in this manner than when
pulled up by the roots. The rows
for tomatoes in the field should be
from 3 IL to a feet apart in each
direction. 1t takes about one ounce
of seed to produce two thousand
plants. Tomatoes begin to bear from
so TO 100 days after being planted
Good varieties are the Stone, Earl
ana, Livingston and Beauty.
Cabbage should be sown in cold
frames from January to April. They
may be set out at almost any time
after the most severe freezs of Jan
uary and February are past. They
can, Of course, be planted in June
