ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM OFFICE OF
THE COUNTY AGENT
HOG SALE—
There will be a hog sale in Blake
ly on Tuesday, November 10.
DO YOU WANT CORN?—
Farmers wishing to buy corn
should list their names, together
with the amount wanted, at the
office of the County Agent. I will
then try to put them in touch with
people having corn to sell.
KUDUZ—
Kudzu, one of the best perennial
cover crops not only to check, but
to cure, erosion is a vigorous-grow
ing vining plant, well adapted for
use in controlling gullies and erod
ing banks. It not only prevents
washing, but rebuilds the soil, is a
valuable hay and pasture crop
wherever it can be successfully es
tablished. Kudzu is recommended
where the soil is too poor or too
badly gullied to be used for culti
vated crops.
FARM BRIEFS
(By Ralph Fulghum)
Want to buy or sell any corn?
Fifty Georgia county agents recent
ly sent in answers to a question
naire along that line, and reported
that farmers in their counties
wanted to buy a total of 147,000
bushels, while other farmers had
107,500 bushels to sell. The agents
reported that farmers in their coun
ties had about 39,000 tons of pea
nut hay, 5,000 tons of peavine and
some other hay for sale, while a
few farmers needed to buy hay.
You can get more information about
the answers sent to the question

Georgia 4-H club boys this fall
have bought and are feeding 1,180
beef calves as club projects, A. S.
Bussey, assistant club leader, and
R. E. Davis, beef cattle specialist
with the Agricultural Extension
Service, reported this week. Last
winter club boys fed out 457 beef
calves. About 700 of the calves
this year were financed by local
banks, 158 by out-of-the-county
banks, and 318 by other sources.
The club leaders also see a big im
provement in quality of the calves
this year. About 200 of last win
ter’s calves were high grade ani
mals, compared with more than
1,000 of this year’s group.
* * *
A large number of Georgia’s 54,-
000 4-H Club members will join
the nation Saturday, November 7,
in celebratnig National 4-H Club
Achievement Day. A Georgia club
group will give 30 minutes of the
National Farm and Home Hour over
WSB, Atlanta, and radio parties to
hear the program will be held over
the state. The program will begin
at 11:30 a. m., Central Standard
Time (12:30 p. m„ EST).
The number of livestock in the
state infested with screw worms is
now relatively small, but every meas
ure possible needs to be taken to
prevent additional cases and wipe
out the infestations we now have,
officials in charge of screw worm
control in the state reported during
the last week to Harry L. Brown,
Tax Commissioner’s

“In my opinion, an excellent job
has been done in screw worm con
trol work, but it would be most
unfortunate if farmers and officials
should not do everything possible
from now on to prevent heavy re
infestation,” Brown said. Brown and
M. S. Yeomans, of the Division of
Screw Worm Control, suggest that
farmers who castrate hogs now
treat the wounds with pine tar oil
immediately, keep the hogs up a
day and apply another application
of pine tar oil. Most of the recent
screw worm cases have occurred
where hogs have been castrated and
turned into peanut fields. Screw
worms are liable to get established
in cuts and wounds on any kind of
livestock unless the animals are
watched carefully and the wounds
treated with pine tar oil.
♦ ♦ *
For the country as a whole, we
have slightly more hogs, cattle, and
other farm animals to feed this
year than last, and w’e have 8,000,-
000 tons less hay, about one-fourth
less grain, and about the same
amount of mill feeds as last sea
son, the U. S. Bureau of Agricultur
al Economics reports.

FARMERS ASKED FOR
OPINION ABOUT 1937
FARM PROGRAM—
Plans for a mass opinion from
farmers about what the 1937 agricul
tural conservation program should
include were outlined here this week
to County Agent J. E. Leger.
Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A. Wallace has asked farmers over
the country to begin immediately
the task of working out the 1937
program, keeping in mind the fun
damental objective of soil conserva
tion and the advisability of making
as few changes from the 1936 pro
gram as necessary.
In Georgia, Harry L. Brown, di
rector of the Agricultural Extension
Service, is making plans for county
agents and community committee
men to hold hundreds of farm com
munity meetings in which farmers
will give their opinion about the
program. These opinions will be
brought together in the state office
and forwarded to Washington early
in December.
The State Agricultural Conserva
tion Committee, after a lengthy
session in Athens last week, recom
mended that farmers study this
year’s program and objectives care
fully so that when the meetings are
called in their community they will
be able to work out and make known
the changes they would like to see
made in the new program.
Can the available money be spent
to better advantage than in 1936?
Should changes be made in the
1937 classification of crops as soil
conserving, soil depleting and neu
tral? What soil building practices
in 1936 should be retained in 1937
and were the proper rates of pay
ments made? What about payments
to encourage improving the quality
of such crops as cotton? Are the
insurance features of the program
adequate?
These and hundreds of other
questions, farmers will discuss in the
community meetings, and the more
| thought they give those problems
before going to the meeting the
better able they will be to discuss
them and make recommendations,
Brown said.
