The twenty-second annunl report of the Georgia experiment station has Just been published. It should be carefully rend by oil Georgia farmers, for It is full of valuable Information. A feature of this report Is the un miul report of the director, Hon. Mar tin V. Calvin. This Is his third re port as the director of this institution, imm rpnort even those who ,i unnw the man will readily recognize that no mistake was maile when he was placed in this responsi ble nnaitinn There is no man in the Stute better qunllfled than he to fill it. An indefatigable worker, he car ried into this Held of work a. love for Jt and a practical knowledge which are causing the states expernin-nv station to accomplish really what it was designed to accomplish, and make it a great factor in auvancms agriculture In the State. In Director Calvin s annual report the various subjects are. of course, nniv summarized. In their variety they show the extent of the station's activity and the all-emm-acing na ture of the efforts that are being made to lead the farmers to advance in every line of farm industry. But even in this summary form Plrector Calvin's report contains more meat for progressive farmers than any nut of equal size which might ba chosen. For instance, Just one short para graph refers to co-operative dairying, and yet a wide and most interesting nhwt ta at once suKRested thereby. Years ago. under other directors, ef forts were made at the star ion 10 in i,nii,i nhoPKB makinir In the State Enrns were built, a chcese-mnkins r,ii,T,t instituted and an experienced cheese maker put in charge. As in Mr roivin'a TAnort no menuon 10 made of this, the presumption Is that cheese making has been abandoned. But if this be the case, the other vonr.h of iinirvinc. butter making, Is receiving more attention, which It deserves. Efforts are toeing maue 10 Interest the farmers in better atock, and one of the finest herds of Jerseys in the country Is kept at the stauon. Plans for barns, for building silos and everything pertaining to dalry inR Is furnished to nny farmer on application. Why should not our farmers estab lish co-operative dairies? This would certainly be a profitable business. More stock should be kept on the f,,,.m. tr hpln increase the soil' fertil- i.,r ,mi hv thla co-onerauve aairj system it would be doubly profitable to raise and keep cattle, as well as to have a steady source of Income from the farm. Butter is always in good flemanu, .nA ilia hiirh tirlco of meat will in crease this demand; standard dairy butter will aways command a good price. The farmer may not be fixed . nrnia a hnttpr dairy by himself. which to be successful requires o be done either on a large scale oy ex perts supplied with all the latest im proved appliances, or on a small scale by the farmer's wire, ine nrsi iubj involve greater expense than the farmer cares to assume, and the lat ter would place too heavy a nuruen n tho wif. But by the co-operation of a number of farmers a butter-mak ing plant could be establlsuea at some eligible place and put In charge of a competent manager, to whom th-! cream could oe aeuverea aan, as now done at co-operative cheese-making plants. By this practical memoa a repi. daily Income could be provided for the farm, in addition to the regular crop income, wntie at me sumo nmc raising stock for the market and abundant barnyard fertilizers to in crease the fertility of the lano, ana all at slight additional expense.

The writer has recently received a letter bearing upon wool conditions In thla country from a gentleman In an Eastern State, who is one of the highest authorities upon wool grow ing and distribution, ana wnose so nice is frequently sought by Con gressional committees when matters are pending concerning wool in Bheep districts ot this country. He takes occasion in this letter to Bay tbat he i st a lrats to understand why. with the development ot the South along industrial lines generally, and the evident enterprise that IB Demg ais played, that the growing of wool is not promoted to a greater extent. He also states mat, in ms opiuiun, mo large bulk of the best wools in this country can and should be grown nth nf Washington. This man has stated general condi tions so correctly that I am influenced hv his mil n inn. and fully agree wltU him. The writer does not undertake to understand how the sheep industry may Interfere with other condltioni In the South only the first few inches of soil Is stirred and the crops feed near the surface, resulting in quick soli depletion. Roots seek food. When ground is plowed deep plant food is made available to tne depth loosened, and the roots go deep, supporting the plant well and furnishing an abundance of no iriBh ment. 1 Enemies of Chickens.
