BOLL WEEVIL
PREPAREDNESS CLUBS
By Andrew M. Soule, Pres. Ga. State
College Of Agriculture
Have you joined the boll weevil pre
paredness club? If not, you should
do so at once. By so doing you
will perform an important public serv
ice, and you will aid materially in the'
fight which must be waged against this
miserable pest which threatens the
welfare of the primary industry of the
South. Nothing is accomplished with
out organization. The European war
has given us one illustration after an
other of the effectiveness of people
combining to accomplish a given end.
The day of isolated effort is past. We
must cease to be a nation so thorough
ly individualistic as we have been in
the past if we would meet the exigen
cies of situations such as the boll wee
vil invasion has thrust upon us. It is
true, of course, that many farmers are
still in doubt as to the nature and
extent of the damage which the weevil
will do. In fact, there are still g..iot
of “doubting Thomases” who think the
weevil will not injure them in the least.
While a dream may be a pleasant
thing, a nightmare is something to
abhor, and the farmers who think that
the weevil will not reach their com
munity or damage them may just at
present he enjoying a. pleasant dream,
but they will presently wake up to the
experience of a horrible nightmare
which will unfortunately be a stern re
ality in the worst sense of the word,
and something which they will not be
able to escape from except by fol
lowing the very definite advice which •
the College of Agriculture is ready to
place at their disposal through the aid
of the county agents.
In order to arouse the farmers of
Georgia to a sense of their peril and
to inform thorn as to the best means of
fighting the weevil and to join them
together in a vast co-operative effort,
the policy of organizing boll weevil
preparedness clubs was decided on
some months ago. This idea was orig
inated by Hon. A. P. Brantley, of Black
shear, and its value was so instantly
self-evident, that a large number of cer
tificates were immediately prepared,
and are now being distributed widely
throughout the state for the purpose
of securing a representative member
ship in Georgia. If y:n are not at
present a member of the boll weevil
preparedness club or have not secured
one of the buttons worn by the mem
bers, you should get in touch with
your Siimnty agent at once and join
that great progressive educational
force which is destined to aid Georgia
in redeeming herself from the losses
which the boll weevil will inflict. Your
active aid and sympathy is needed in

Silaga the
Universal Winter Feed
By M. P. Jarnagin, Prof. Of Animal
Husbandry, Georgie State Col
lege Of Agriculture
Experiments and feeding tests con
ducted by the Georgia State College of
Agriculture and other institutions
throughout, the United States have
demonstrated conclusively the value
of silage in economizing the cost of
carrying all classes of cattle. On ac
count of the long growing season it
ha been contended by many stockmen
that the sib) is not a necessity in
Georgia. It is true that many winter
crops can he grown successfully and
have played a most important pan in
providing green succulent feed for ail
kinds of live stock throughout the win
ter months. On farms where less than
ten cattle are carried this is the best
substitute for the silo.-but even in the
most southern section cf Georgia there
should be a- silo on every farm where
as many as ten cattle are kept. This
necessity will constantly become great
er as the value of lands enhance. An
acre grown in sorghum and kaffir corn
will produce fully three times as many
tons of feed as the same acre of land
grown in a soiling crop and cut and
fed green direct to the cattle. Yields
of ls> tons of silage per acre on the
best lands may be expected. Forty
pounds ot ensilage per day will make
a full feed for a 1,000 pound animal.
Where cattle are fed 120 days this will
require a little less than two and a
half tons per animal for a feeding
period of four months. A small amount
of cotton seed meal, peanut meal, vel
vet bean meal, or a mixture of these
should be fed in addition to the silage
and some dry roughage in the form of
shredded corn stalks or oat straw
should also be given. Thus it is seen
that from four to seven animals can
be carried during Ihe winter feeding
peri od on the silage grown on one acre
of land. The College is in a position
.to supply plans and specifications for
silos and also render expert supervi
sion in the construction of these silos,
provided application is received in am
ple time. At this season of I lie year
farmers should turn their attention to
the planting of silage crops. Circulars
have been prepared at the College giv
ing detailed information on this sub
ject.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local * applications, as they cannot
reach tlie diseased portion of the ear.
I here is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional r- medic s.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its norma! condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the -mucous surfaces.
Wo will giro One Hundred Dollars for nnv case of

Soy Beans For Grain and Kay
By John R. Fain, Professor of Agrono
my, State College of Agriculture.
Especially in Norlh Georgia the Boy
Bean should receive more atttention
than lias been given it in the past.
For a grain producer on good soils
this crop can scarcely be surpassed.
It yields more bushels of grain per
acre than do Cowpeas and the grain
is rich in protein. For hog grazing
l it stands as North Georgia s most
promising crop.
Soy Beans will r.o| produce well on
poor worn lands however and should
never be planted there. The Cowpea
will remain the best legunfe for this
kind of land. It seems to stand ad
verse conditions here better than the
soy bean but on good laud the soy
bean is hardier.
For grain soy beans should be
planted in JO inch rows and culti
vated once or twice. By this method
a larger crop will be grown. Beans
planted in this manner during early
spring will be ready to gTaze from
August to October depending on the
variety. The Ito San and Hamlter
landt are examples of early kinds
and the Mammoth Yellow and Black
of late kinds. An average yield
should graze from eight to fifteen
100 pound hogs for thirty days. Graz
ing may be begun as soon as the pods
turn yellow.
For hay the' soy bean will be used
largely on rich land where Cowpeas
are inclined to fall down and tangle.
The soy bean plants grow erect so
are easy handled. The yield is usu
ally a little greater than the yield
of cowpeas, hut there is some more
waste in feeding it. The same rate of
seeding employed wilh cowpeas
should be used. For grain only a
half bushel per acre will be neces
sary.
Soy beans are susceptible to wilt
pnd nematodes hence should not be
grown on lands infested with either
of these. In South Georgia the crop
fails to seed quite often but always
makes a good yield of hay.
Upland Rice
R. R. Childs, Scientific Assistant Cereal
Investigations, U. S. Dent, of Ayr.,
Co-operating with Georgia
St. Col. of Agriculture.
Owing to the inevitable shortage of
food stuff caused by the war, the peo
ple of Georgia are urged to make
their farms self-sustaining bv growing
food crops.
While rice is best grown on irri
gated soils some good yields have
been made on lands that were not ir
rigated and there are many farms in
the state on which this crop can be
profitably grown under present ccftt
ditions.
According to the census of 1910
Georgia grew 148,698 bushels of rice,
7,982 bushels of which were grown
without irrigation. Thirty-two differ
ent counties were represented, these
counties being scattered through all
sections of the state. On most of
these areas the yields ranged from
20 to 50 bushels Per acre.
For the culture of rice without irri
gation, the best soils are drained
ponds or moist bottom lands. The
rice is usually planted in rows just
wide enough to permit cultivation.
The seed are dropped in hills from
6 to 12 inches apart, several seed being
dropped in each hill. Several cultiva
tions and hoeings are usually neces
sary to keep down weeds and grass.
In some sections of north Georgia,
the rice is sowed broadcast or with
a grain drill, the natural spring rises
of the rivers being depended on to fur
nish irrigation.
The rice can be harvested and
thrashed in the same manner as the
other grain crops. The rough rice
must, be milled to remove the outer
husk before it is suitable for food.
There are a number of small mills
for this purpose in the state, but if
none is available the hull can be re
moved by placing the rice in a trough
made by hollowing out a log and
pounding it with a maul.
This rice will not be as highly pol
ished as that found on the market,
but the dark unpolished rice is more
nutritious than the pure ■white rice
found on the market as the outer lay
ers of the latter, which are very rich
in protein, are removed in the polish
ing process.
Beans
T. H. McHatton, Professor of Horti
culture, State College of Agri.
lieans, cowpeas and like legumi
nous crops should be extensively
grown on the Georgia farms this
year. From ten to twenty bushels
of dried beans can be expected from an
acre of ground, and these food stuffs
will partially take the place of meat,
as beans contain a great deal of pro
tein. This crop is easily grown and
easily stored, as the weevils can be
controlled through the simple fumi
gation with carbon bisulphide. We
are not a bean eating people. We are
however, great meat eaters, and the
present conditions existing in this coun
try are going to necessitate the pro
duction of food stuffs at home. We
canm t produce meats as rapidly as
they will be consumed, therefore, we
must fall back on the various legumi
nous crops, such as beans and peas,
to take the place of meats.
