A perfect climate above a fertile soil yields to the hus- bandman every product of the temperate zone. There, by night the cottor whitens beneath the Stars and: by day the wheat locks the sun- shine in its bearded sheaf. In the same field the clover steals the fragrance of the wind and the tobacco. catches the quick aroma of the rains. There, are. mountains stored with exhaustless treasures; forests, vast and pri- meval, and rivers, that, tumbling or loitering, run wanton to the sea. Our farmers are Georgias very. heart. Our farm products her life blood, which is pumped, to a material extent, into the veins of every industry and business and profession and oc- cupation. Therefore, if she is to live and grow and feed our people and they are to be strong and prosperous and free, this life blood, farm prod- ucts, must be kept pure and clean and healthy and it must flow evenly and smoothly and without interruption. - Ask me the question, Is there any one thing that will enable this heart to regularly | pump this vigorous life blood evenly and smoothly through Georgia s veins? I answer, Yesa stable and fair price for the e products of the farm.. ~ he my judgment, this is the way and the only way living conditions on all her farms can be made, not only tolerable, but desirable; happiness, contentment and. independence made sure and ownership of the land restored to the people who live on it. The attainment of this goal is the chal- lenge for all of us who are engaged in admin- istering to agricultures needs and who are being paid for this service with public funds. It is alsoa challenge for each and every one of our citizens, our national, state, county and city governments. It is our particular duty and also our responsibility to outline the ob- jectives, direct the thinking and plan the ac- tivities of all those who are willing to help.

As Georgias new com- : missioner of agriculture, I recognize and ac- cept, with you, this responsibility. So at the beginning of the new year as we take up the work of the Department of Agriculture, we - say to you and to Georgia, that our main ob- jective is a stable and fair price for the me ucts of the farm. Cg T know you are thinking of the many sep- arate objectives that you are interested in as _ Some of these no doubt are: individuals. education in farm management; the National Soil Conservation program which is planned to help farmers produce only sufficient cash _ crops to meet the demands, to prevent the production of price burdening surpluses and | to conserve the fertility of the soil; soil ero- sion, which problem must be met and solved, especially in our great Piedmont red land sec- tion; the marketing problem, to solve which | we must begin our planning at planting time; the problems of research, finance, land use, farm tenancy, farmer rehabilitation, reguia- tion, resettlement, rural electrification ange certainly no less | important are farm home improvement, church and school dealer at, and maintenance. Hach of. these are. worthy objectives but in the final analysis they are, taken singly, a means of attaining a stable and fair income, | or a result of the attainment of a stable and fair income. | = If our reasoning then is correct and we _ have established the right goal to plan and work for, it follows that those engaged in any right program for the good of the Georgia = farmer can, if they will, conscientiously co- ~ operate with us and we in turn can work with them, because our objectives are the same. On this basis, then, I offer you my co- operation and ask for yours, with the deep conviction- that only in this way may T hope to merit the confidence bestowed in me by all the people. < ATLANTA WHOLE MILK MARKET Georgia Milk Producers Confederation paid their ne members during January $2.60 per CWT for 4% (usual 4c per point up or down on test) for Grade A milk. The January price is given due to the fact that the price cannot be determined until the net proceeds are in for the month.

You know our success depends so much on our atti- _ tude, the way we regard our work, no matter what it is. _If we love our farm, our home, our crops, our livestock and our poultry, then we will give them the best we have _ inus and they will improve and grow and thrive accord- - ingly. Furthermore, when we feel this way and also love our neighbor as ourself, as Jesus tells us in the _ Bible, then we are happy and life assumes a richness and fullness that nothing else can give. _ We cant help feeling sorry for the man who works only that he may live; for what does he get out of life _ beyond the gratification of his appetite? A sordid and selfish existence without love and little hope for the _ future puts him down almost on a level with the animals. _ On the other hand, when we can feel that we are co- operating with God in the production of our crops and that every blade of corn or stalk of cotton is an expres- gion of his love made manifest, then existence takes on new interest and our work becomes a pleasure in- stead of a drudgery.. - You know it is an established fact that if you love your cows they will give more milk; if you love your _shens they will lay more eggs? You also know that when a man loves his work and ~ becomes so interested as to forget himself, he dont even have time to get sick. And this you know is Gods law, for God is love. But perhaps you just natur- ally dislike farming, that your faculties seem to have _ fitted you better for something else. In other words, you would love some other line of work more. Then you should try to get into that other line of work into - which you can put your whole heart. However, in this world it seems that a man must do what, he knows how to do. There seems to be no other vocation open to him, except as a day laborer under someone elses direction, and it is not easy to love to cut cord wood or hoe cotton by the day. Here the thing to do is to try to give full value, to try to serve, to do with our might what our hands find to do and express love through service. However, it is quite possible for one to learn to love what one has todo. To accomplish this, if we are farm- ing, we must put our mind to work as well as our hands. We must inquire into the reason for things and learn why certain fertilizers produce certain results. Do a _little*experimenting and a little studying on our own, hook. This will add interest and interest can grow into love. Perhaps the Bulletin may help you some along ! We hope so. But above all, dont forget to ask God to help you, for He is always ready.F.J.M. A FEW SUGGESTIONS We wonder how many of you folks save your ashes to fertilize your Irish potato patch and other vege- tables? Probably you do not know that good dry hard- wood ashes are worth $10.00 per ton as a fertilizer. Do, you keep your horse and cow stalls well bedded With oak leaves or pine straw? The oak leaves are best _ because they contain more plant food and decay faster. Several of the croppers in our settlement moved the first of the year as usual. It was too much trouble to e accumulated manure in their horse stalls, 50 cheap and we b ; MARKET BULLETIN) | dimes worth of greens. move his manure. We gave him a nice spot for a gar- den and he spread the manure on that spot. He will have a good garden. - All last summer many of our cropper neighbors and some that were on government rehabilitation farms were constantly coming over to purchase a nickelor Something to boil, was what they wanted. Are you going to be in that fix this com- ing summer, or are you going to have a garden? Now, if you really want a garden, we will try to help you through the Bulletin. If you eat more vegetables you will be healthier. You will feel more like work and do better work. Then, too, a good garden can be made to produce half the living of your family, besides some- thing to sell or swap for coffee, a or tobacco when you go to town.F.J.M. Z To Start a Garden If there is no fenced in garden spot near the house, pick out the best place you can find, that is far enough from the house so the chickens wont trouble it. A sec- ond bottom, well protected from the west winds, would be a good place. If you have a large family you will need half an acre. Now break this as soon as the ground is dry to work and if you have that manure we have been talking about, haul it out and spread broadcast and work it on the surface. Then supplement this with guano when you plant. You will find that manure applied on the surface will give better results than if covered deeply in a furrow. The reason for this is that manure from the horse and cow stall is not very- well rotted and the plant food it contains is not available until it rots and it needs air to rot. If therefore you cover it deeply in the ground, especially when the ground is cold in the early spring, it will just lay there until you plow it up later. When planting small seed at this season, such as tur- nips, carrots, lettuce, etc., it is well to plant on a bed or low ridge. We like to throw our land into ridges after manure and fertilizer is applied. Then as soon as dry enough after a rain, knock off the top of these ridges with a board or single stock and follow this with seed drill. If you have no seed drill, you will have to open these ridges with a very small scooter and sow by hand. The reason we prefer to sow on the bed in early spring is it prevents the water settling over the seed during a heavy rain, for this forms a crust and prevents these small seed from coming up. All small seed at this season should be eovered very shallow. THE ROSE IS QUEEN It has always seemed to us that the rose is the Queen of flowers. Most of them bloom so continuously and are so beautiful and fragrant. In fact, they are our favorite flower, and so we are putting out a new rose bed this spring and trying to fix it right. You see roses are strong feeders, They need rich land and plenty of fertilizer; They seem to flourish best on red clay loam soil, but any good, rich, well drained soil will answer. We are having our bed spaded up 12 inches deep and then cov- ered broadcast heavily with stable manure. We find that well rotter stable manure is.about the best fertilizer for roses and we put on enough to cover the ground heavily and work it in with a pronged hoe on the surface, Then set our bushes about two feet apart each way. We made this rose bed four feet wide so we can work it from either side and also cut the flowers without disturbing the plants or tramping the soil. Now we had to put this bed in the back yard because there were trees in the front yard and the ground was too hard and dry. You see roses just wont grow in the shade. Also trees take up all the moisture. We would have much preferred having ours in the front yard where they would show off to greater SAyEMeet but we had to sacrifice our pride in this to our roses. We know this will give us finer flowers to.cut later. aeworere our bed is near the kitchen window where the good lady of the house can enjoy them while cooking dinner. Also it will be easy to pour slop water on them in dry weather and believe me, this will help. In fact, we really should have a barrel into which, we could dump poultry droppings and other manure, mix this with water and pour this liquid manure around our bushes. And now that we have told you about this, it is evidently up to us to get a barrel. { THRIFTY VARIETIES : We have selected a few of the most thrifty varieties and those which have been found best adapted to the South. Among these, are Radiance comes firstRed and Pinkand Mrs. Charles Bell, a soft salmon pink. Then comes Etoile de Hollande, a beautiful deep red, not as vigorous as the Radiance, but will-outbloom them. Also Sunny Southvivid pinkmakes long pointed buds, long stems, free blooming. 2 - When it comes to yellow roses, Sister Therese easily heads the list.. This is a comparatively new rose and bids fair to be most popular, eee is another good yellow or orange and very fragrant, We also included. Talisman, which they call a two-tone, or red and bronze, very attractive. Among the white roses the old Mama Cochet is perhaps one of the most reliable, so we had to include it. Also Caledonia, a we understand is very good and which has a lemon yellow inge Then for old times sake, we included a Marschal Neil, which is a yellow climber and LaFrance, the old original hybrid tea rose, which always seemed to us one of the sweetest roses in the world. Then we set four hybrid perpetuals, such as the majestic Paul Neyron, which is, as you know, the largest of all roses, +_ Well, we got our bushes and set. them out and watered them. We set them just a little deeper than they were in the nursery and we were careful to turn off all broken roots and branches. In fact, we trimmed all the branches back to about six inches, then we were careful to spread the roots out naturally and press the soil in around them with our hands and press it down firmly so they would be comfortable and go right to growing: which is oe | exactly what they will do. going to be mighty fine to have cae. beautiful mer and brighten up the house, Dont you POSITIONS.

We like it because it is early and | t the staple is longan inch and betterso it brings us. a premium, from one-half to a cent above the market for ordinary cotton. Then Stoneville comes in ahead of the boll weevil if we plant early, which insures our making a crop every year, And now they have come out with an improved Stoneville, which they call. Stoneville No. 2-B. Mr. Bledsoe, the Agriculturist at the Georgia Experiment Station, in a letter to our ginner, Mr. E. J. Swint, in J onesboro, spoke very highly of it. He said it had done well at the station the past year; that the bolls were/ larger, that it fruited more heavily, and that the staple was even better than Stoneville No. 2. Mr. Swint had gotten hold of some of the seed of Stoneville No. 2-B and agreed to let us and a few other farmers in Clayton County have it at what it cost him, provided we would plant our whole crop in it so as not to get it mixed. He also agreed to pay us $5.00 a ton above the market for the seed next fall. Well, this sounded pretty good to us, so we sold him our old Stoneville No. 2, planting stock and bought the No. 2-B. We, or rather our croppers, will have about thirty acres in all of this cotton and we will let you know how we come out. Our new cropper, Ben Carter, was so much interested that he told us if we would furnish his seed he would return to us two bushels for one next fall and this we agreed to do. Ben, you know, has his own livestock and is supposed to furnish himself, he paying us one-fourth of the cotton and one-third of the corn. Ben has a nice big pile of stove wood cut ahead for next summer and last week, February 4 and 5, he dragged down his stalks and ran up his terraces.. He is evidently going One Variety Gin You know we are right fortunate in vine a public- spirited man in this community like C. J. Swint for our ginner. He brought this Stoneville No. 2 cotton to | Clayton County in 1934 and last year he succeeded in getting 85 per cent of the farmers in his gin territory He estimates that there were about 2,500 bales of cotton grown in Clayton County last year and that the Stoneville cotton brought to the farmers of this county at least $10.000.00 more than ordinary cotton would have done. He calls his gin One Variety Gin for Stoneville No. 2. Now there are other good long staple varieties be- sides Stoneville and the thing to do, as we see it, is to try to have all the farmers in one community plant one variety, then the mills and large cotton factors will know where they can purchase a certain defivite grade and staple and this will enable the ginner and the grower to secure a higher price. Competition You see we cant compete with Texas and the Delta section of Louisiana and Mississippi growing just cot- ton, for they can make it for 5 cents a pound and here in Georgia it costs us-at least 8 cents. So we must take advantage of every point we can. - The writer has grown cotton for five. cnts a pound, but it was only on a special pet acre which produced over a bale and it was fertilized plenty. We shall have something to say about fertilizer for cotton in the March First Bulletin. : _F. J. MERRIAM. - IN OUR TRUCK GARDEN We have often been asked the question: : Why doesnt my lettuce head? We will tell you. It is because let- tuce will not head in hot weather and.as a rule you plant your lettuce so late in the spring that the weather be- comes hot before it starts to head and then it goes to It is hard to grow lettuce in competition with Arizona and California, where they have irrigation and climatic conditions are ideal for lettuce; but we have grown nice hard heads of the Iceberg variety where we planted seed in open ground the middle or last of February. The main trouble is that land usually stays wet so late in the spring that it is difficult to prepare a seed bed. The way we do is to break the land in the fall and throw it into beds about six feet wide. Then the land wont pack and the surface will dry out quickly after a rain. We have a small patch on which we hope to make good heads. We covered the beds with well rotted stable manure and worked it in with a spring Then we applied a 7-5-5 fertilizer broadcast over these beds at the rate of a ton per acre, worked that in with cultivator, dragged it level with a plank drag and then sowed our seed with seed drill eighteen inches apart, three rows to the bed, sowing the seed practically on the surface. Later we shall thin to one plant in a place ten inches apart and top dress with nitrate of soda. To grow good lettuce it must be forced and there is little use in planting it at all if you are not prepared to fertilize it liberally. Two Crops In One At this time we sow a patch of radishes and apieank broadcast. We mix the seed about one-third radish to | two-thirds spinach. We sow this seed carefully so it will not come up too thick but will at the same time give us an even stand. The radish will come off ahead of the spinach and will interfere with it very little. It is needless to say that such a practice requires very jrich land and lots of fertilizer. We fertilized our patch Practically t. as di rib d Monday, February ie : tn the latitude of Atlanta we try to plant our about the 5th of March. We have a piece of ric shall fertilize these beds Bec broadeast on t ut face and prepare a good seed bed with cultiva drag. Then plant two rows to the bed so we . them: with a horse. - : Turnip Greens It seems to us that Atlanta eats more fupaie: g take it the year round, than any other vegetable that reason, we try to have a continuous supp have one patch,-a fourth of an acre, where the were sown broadcast in January on land that ha thrown into ridges in the fall. As a matter of we wouldnt have this patch if the land had not ridged, because as you know, it rained almost cor ously last month. Most country folks, as you know, hate to wor Saturday afternoon, but in the trucking business cant stand back on that account. Well, it hadnt r for a couple of days and one Saturday afternoon abc the middle of the month the tops of those ridges | came dry enoligh to work, so we could run a Little harrow over them. We got one of the Mayo boy run the harrow and we sowed the seed broadcast. was Seven Top seed that we had saved ourselves summer, so we put down plenty of seed. We sg behind. the harrow, leaving the seed on the su Well, that night there came a gentle rain and the ne day still more and practically every day for th week. It is needless to say that we have a fine sta: of turnips. When they get well started we shall dress them heavily with fertilizer and nitrate of sod We sowed another patch February 6 and that was urday, too, by the way, only all the men got off at noon, The ridges had been harrowed over though bet ner, so we could do the. sowing by ourselves. When a man works hard all the week and up t ner on Saturday, it does seem as though he migh Saturday afternoon to xo to town and enjoy his : and purchase his provisions. So we try to let th whenever we can. Even our Commissioner, Col Roberts, and Hamilton Ralls, our director, to say n ing of yours truly, like to get off and a ee the . force go too. | An Open Letter Ke ectiae the One Variety Community. Dear Mr. Merriam: I am very glad to know that you will plant Stare No. 2-B on your farm this year. It*is a splendid riety, good yielder, early, and has a very uniform st which runs 1 inch to 1 1-16 inches. I believe you be well pleased with it. Stoneville cotton has done throughout North Georgia for the past five yea has been very popular with the farmers. With reference to our one-variety communit i development, you will be interested to know that had 134 one-variety communities last year in 63 ce ties. 15,194 farmers were members of one-var communities. They grew a little more than 100, bales on 200,000 acres. . This cotton brought an age premium of one cent per pound above that for sl cotton. Farmers eainatad that the varieties used in 0 variety communities gave them an average 0 pounds of lint per acre more than was obtained the old mixed variety plan: of production. | the extra profit from premium and extra yield ave $7.50 per acre, or a total of $1,500,000 in extra pr The varieties used in the northern half of the Sta 4 one-variety community development were St No. 2, D. & P. L., and Farm Relief. All of these cottons have the ability to make la yields, they are early, and have a staple which runs : 1 inch to 11-16 inches. There are more communities ing Stoneville No: 2 than any other variety, Tt southern half of the State, where wilt is preva have been using Cokers Clevewilt very successfully is a good yielding cotton and has a staple 1 inch to inches. This year a considerable quantity of W. Wannamakers Wonder-Wilt Dixie Triumph will be to start one-variety communities in southeast Geor: This variety also has a staple 1 inch to 11-16 in A number of Georgia mills are now using cotto duced in one-variety communities, and they Sa. cotton meets their requirements as well as any w s cotton which they have used. This, of course, encouraging to us. Many Georgia mills are now U cotton produced in one-variety communities exclusi where they formerly used only western cotton. _ In 1930 only 16.4 per cent of Georgias crop was 1 inch staple and longer. Fifty-six per cent of the crop was 15-16 inch and longer. This will give very definite idea of how far we have come during last five years. I stopped to see you while in Atlanta last week, you had just left the office. I shall be glad to co-op with you in the publication of the Market Bul any way that I can. With best wishes, I am Very truly yours, _ ee Oe Se WESTBROOK, Cotton and Tobacco S
