Valuable findings from Georgia agricultural experiments
Summary of Department of Agronomy work at Georgia State College of Agriculture. Fertilizer plots cover fourteen counties with sixteen soil types to guide fertilizer needs and crop rotation. Corn and oat selection across multiple counties. crop improvement associations formed in five counties. Four-year wheat tests yield averages around 24.9 to 26.4 bushels per acre for several varieties. Oat tests show high yields in several varieties, with corn variety tests highlighting several leaders. Lime applications boost corn yields by 16.1 bushels per acre with 2000 pounds per acre. Lime also raises cow pea yield by 770 pounds per acre. Inoculated alfalfa yields about 1.68 tons per acre. Comparisons of floats versus acid phosphate show higher corn yields with acid phosphate. Nitrogen fertilizer trials show varied corn yields, with several nitrogen sources producing 43–53 bushel outcomes. Breeding work links germination tests to high-yield plants and explores upgrading varieties from seed selection.

Practical Results in Horticulture from North Georgia Study
The department of horticulture reports farmer aids from spraying apple orchards, showing 90 percent salable fruit from sprayed trees versus 90 percent unsalvageable from unsprayed. Trials with rosette pesticides prove ineffectiveness. Over 60 apple varieties are cataloged for a forthcoming bulletin. Orchard heating raised canopy temps from 25 to 30 degrees, protecting crops. potential returns of 200 to 400 dollars per acre are noted. cultivation practices remain largely haphazard.

Save Georgia Its Mec Large Expenditure for Hay
On farms with fifteen to twenty acres in hay, plant permanent pasture with timothy red top and tall oat grass. Sow oats in spring, use millet to boost yields, and harvest with corn harvester for best results. Use hay caps of heavy canvas to protect cured hay. caps cost likely less than one ton of hay and pay off in saved forage.
Favorable report of the Board of Visitors on Agriculture College
The Board of Visitors urges strong support for the College of Agriculture, praising President Soule and staff after a thorough visit. It calls for substantial legislative funding including 25000 in maintenance 45000 for extension work and 100000 for a new building to broaden access. The board argues Georgia must embrace scientific farming to prosper and asks the Legislature to fund agriculture fully.
