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.

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.

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. For Service.
