- : For 801 l Weevil Readjustment Requires Careful Plan Plang - g Plang ning To Be Safe ANDREW M. SOULE, President Ga. State College Of Agricuiture. Any system of safe farming, under boll revil conditions should provide that /Ahe cultivated area of the farm should be so divided as to grow enough corn to provide for family and the live stock throughout the year. The area will vary with the fertility of the land, but on a two-horse farm not less than ten, or, better still, twen twenty - ty twenty acres of land should be devoted to this crop. Enough land should be devoted to oats and small grains to ' meet home requirements. If the oats are properly handled they will provide some grazing. A great variety of hay and forage-pro forage-producing - ducing forage-producing crops can be grown successful successfully - ly successfully after oats, but it is important to remember that the cultivation of le legumes - gumes legumes should' be emphasized because of their ability to gather nitrogen from the air. Certainly, the farmer should provide all the meat needed for his family. There is no reason why two to six brood sows should not be maintained on the average two-horse farm. Graz Grazing - ing Grazing crops should be depended on to provide the food needed for the growth and fattening of young pigs. They can be hardened off with a little corn ~ in the fall and a very choice quality of nieat obtained. A small flock of hens will provide all the eggs needed and leave a sur surplus - plus surplus for sale. Probably no class of meat is in greater demand in towns and tities than chickens. Every wise farmer will keep at least two cows so that his family will be supplied with an abundance of milk and butter at all seasons of the year. Then if he will keep a couple of brood mares and raise a colt or two each vear, he can maintain his work stock on an efficient basis. Next the farmer should provide a garden. A half acre of land will produce all the vegetables which a family of six can possibly eat, and if a proper rotation is established and the garden well fertilized and han handled, - dled, handled, fresh vegetables may be had at almost any season of the year. There is probably no section which will pro produce - duce produce a greater variety of vegetables with greater ease than the southeast southeastern - ern southeastern states, and yet the garden is neg neglected, - lected, neglected, because its value is not appre appreciated - ciated appreciated and its influence on the health of the family not understood. After having acgomplished the fore foregoing, - going, foregoing, the farmer should devote a reasonable area of his land to the cultivation of cotton, as his main money crop. If this plan is followed, a sysZem of safe farming will have been established throughout the south.

The whitish pimples should be paint painted - ed painted with tincture of iodine and greased with carbolated vaseline. If the scabs are dry, they should be removed and burned.
