AN INSPIRING EXAMPLE
There has ‘been much discussion of
the possibilities of beef feeding in Geor
gia. Certainly it is desirable that the
attention of our farmers be directed to
this matter. Hence it is indeed grati
fying to see at least one community in
Georgia undertaking work of this char
acter on a considerable scale. What has
already been accomplished has shown
definitely that with the eradication of i
the cattle tick, cotton seed meal, silage
and hulls may be fed advantageously to
beef cattle even when the feeder has to
purchase the a.nimals outside the state.
Two carloads of cattle were fed in El
bert county the past winter, one bv the
oil mills operating at that point and one.
by a private citizen. There was a slight
monetary loss on these two carloads
when the value of the manure is disre
garded. Where this is taken into con-
'siTleration there would' be a substantial
profit. # As a matter of fact, the feeding
of beef cattle was a new industry to
those engaging in it, and it appears from
an investigation of the situation that
possibly the animals fed wre not of the
best type which could be obtained and
that they probably cost a little more
money than was necessary. The ad
justment of these two factors would
have enabled the feeding to be carried
forward at a profit, and it is believed
that this can be* done successfully an
other year. The cattle fed by one con
cern would almost certainly have shown
a profit had silage been available to use
in combination with the cotton seed
meal and hulls, and to the credit of
this concern be it said that they propose
to build a silo this ‘summer, and thus
place themselves in position to reap the
full benefit from their feeding opera
tions.
In-this connection it. is possibly well
to state that the state College of Agri
culture has aided in promoting this
work as vigorously as possible and has
helped in the purchase of the cattle and
in offering advice and suggestions rela
tive to the methods of feeding and
handling. One silo has already been
erected as the result of plans .secured
from the college and others will gladly
be furnished to the farmers of this
community. This statement is made so
that interested individuals or commu
nities throughout the state may be in
formed relative to the nature of the
extension work being carried on by this
institution relative to the promotion of
the feeding of beef cattle. Information
as to the most suitable rations, where
and how to purchase feeders, the build
ings and equipment necessary to carry
on the work can all be obtained free
of cost on application to the Georgia
State College of Agriculture at Athens.
So encouraged were the parties con
cerned in the feeding tests at Elberton
last year that an organization has been
formed in the county with the idea of
promoting this industry, and already
we are assured that a sufficient num
ber of farmers have signed an agree
ment to insure the shipment from this
point next January of several cars of
beef cattle. The idea is to ship these
animals to some of the eastern markets
and thus demonstrate whether the work
can bo carried on profitably or not,
the efficiency and economy of the ra
tions available for the feeding of beef
cattle under the conditions prevailing
in Georgia, and the profits which the
farmer may hope to derive from -engag
ing in this line of animal industry.
There is no reason to doubt that this
project will be carried into effect for
the leaders of the movement have now
had considerable experience, are enthu
siastic. capable men, and their experi
ence has justified them in concluding
that the finishing nf beef cattle can be
carried on piofitably.
Are there not some other communities
in Georgia that will wake up to the pos
sibilities of the live stock business?
Surely they have been sleeping over
their rights for a long time. What is
peeded is some patriotic citizen who is
not afraid of risking a few dollars to
demonstrate to his friends and neigh
bors that a line of industry with which
•they are not properly acquainted can b£
introduced into the community and pro
moted to its material advantage. It
is sincerely to be hoped that Georgia
will not lack for leaders along the line
indicated.
In this connection it is only proper to
emphasize the wonderful power which
example and initiative expert. The idea
cf finishing beef cattle was so foreign
to the mind of the average layman that
it had never received the serious con
sideration its importance merited. As
soon, however, as several carloads of
cattle were fed successfully in the vi
cinity of Elberton, a change came over
the face of affairs. Then when a dip
ping vat was constructed at considerable
expense by the oil mills situated at
that place and a public demonstration
of the efficiency of this means of de
stroying the tick made, the conerstone
of a new industry was laid. ’A num
ber of farmers quickly realized that it
was a good thing for therm to consider
and now there promises to be sent
out from /this point one cf tire first train
loads of Georgia fed cattle. When an
individual or a concern can invest a
few hundred dollars and transform the
indifference of a community into one of
substantial interest and introduce a new
line of activity, certainly the investment
would appear to be worth while.
The record made at Elberton is quoted
in some detail for the information of
the farmers of the state who may be
doubtful about the efficiency and econo
my of a ration of cotton seed meal, hulls
and silage for the production of beef
of high quality at a reasonable cost.
It seems useless to refer again to the
deplorable deficiency in Georgia soils
with reference to vegetable matter. This
most essential of all elements in the
production of profitable crops on our
worn-out lands can be, most cheaply
and quickly supplied through the ma
nure obtained as a by-product in the
feeding of beef cattle. Surely the farm
ers of the state will emulate this ex
ample.

AVAILABLE PLANT FOOD PER TON.
W. w. I.. Lulu, Ga., writes: 1 would
like to know tlie- number of pounds of
acid, nitrogen and potash in a ton of
10-2-4 guano.
The amount of available plant food
contained in a ton of a formula known
as a 10-2-4 is as follows: Of available
phosphoric acid ten pounds in each 100
pounds, or 200 pounds to the ton. Of
nitrogen two pounds per 100 pounds, or
forty pounds per ton. Of potash four
pounds per 100 pounds, or eighty pounds
per ton. In all, this formula, therefore,
contains 320 pounds of available plant
food per ton. There may be some other
materials in the bulk which are of value
as plant food. For instance, the acid
phosphate used in the mixture would
contain some gypsum, and probably
some of the food rated as unavailable
would become useful to plants in the
course of time. This will depend # much
on the condition of the soil and the
amount of vegetable matter it may con
tain at the present time or which may
be added to it in the form of green crops
or yard manure.

TOP DRESSING WITH KAINIT.
J. A. €., Elberton. Ga., writes: Have
you ever experimented with putting kalnit
on oats instead of nitrate of soda, and
what effect did it have?
We have never made an experiment on
the top dressing of oats in the spring of
the year with kainit, because it is impos
sible for us to see how this could be of
any particular benefit to the crop at that
season of the year. Potash compounds
should be mixed with the soil, because
potash becomes more slowly available In
the soil than compounds of nitrogen, and
they are also less liable to be lost out of
the soil through washing or leaching.
For these reasons farmers are advised
to mix potash compounds with the soil
when using the same.
An application of nitrate of soda as a
top dressing to the oat crop is generally
considered good practice. The reason
for using the nitrate as a top dressing
is because ot its immediate availability
to plants once it is brought into solu
tion. The quickness with which this
takes place will be appreciated by you
if you will scatter some of it on the soil
in the evening and you will find by the
next evening that it has disappeared. We
use nitrate of soda or sulphate of am
monia as a top dressing on our oat crop
each spring. It has proven to be a prof
itable investment, and the advice given
farmers along this line has been fol
lowed with uniform success. We believe
som<± phosphorus and potash should be
applied to the oat crop, but these in
gredients should be put in the ground
in the fall with the seed. We think you
will find about an 8-2-3 or an 8-2-4 satis
factory to ujje with oats at the rate of
300 to 500 pounds per acre, depending oh
the richness of the land. The use of a
fertilizer of this kind in the spring is
not advisable, but if it is used it should
be put on early in the spring and worked
in with a harrow.

REMOVAL OF A TUMOR.
A. N. B., Jefferson, Ga.. writes: I have
a mule bought this spring that has a sore:
looks like a harness gall, just bark from
between the fore legs, about the size of a
•goose egg. It is hard and does not seem
to have any pus in it. The mule is lame
in the left fore leg. but is temg worked.
Any remedy to get rid of this trouble will
be appreciated.
The chances are the trouble referred
to is due to the development of a tu
morlike growth at the point indicated.
Just what may have caused this is im
possible to determine, though an in
jury to the part may be responsible for
it. In our judgment the only satisfac
tory treatment would be to have the
growth removed. This may be accom
plished in one of several ways, prob
ably the most satisfactory being to cut
it out with a knife. Of course, care
should be taken to guard against hem
orrhage as the blood supplied through a
growth of this kind may be very great.
Where the growth has a small base a
string may be tied around it and tight
ened at different times, causing it to
slough off in the course of a little while,
and it can then be treated as a simple
wound. If the mule is a valuable one
it will pay you to have a competently
trained veterinarian \ examine it and
perform the operation in a skillful man-
n#r.

FOLLOWING OATS WITH CORN.
'W. T. G., Sanriersville, Ga., writes: I
have some red soil with a stiff red Hay
subsoil that was a broom sedge field. It
was broken up 18 inches last June and
planted to peas, fist having put on a
ton of time and 30 pounds of a 9-2-3
formula per acre. Most of the peas were
turned under and oats, planted in Novem
ber. On March 1 75 pounds of nitrate of
soda were applied. Would It pay to put
on 100 pounds more now? Which would
be the more profitable crop to plant after
the oats, corn or cowpeas for hay? I have
on hand a good deal of compost. Please
advise me how to prepare land, fertilize
and plant. I also have a small piece of
same kind of land that I want to plant
in peanuts. What variety will make the
most, and how should they be fertilized?
We consider 75 pounds a fair appli
cation of nitrate of soda to use as a
top dressing on oats, and we hardly-
think it advisable to use a second top
dressing at this season of the year un
less your oats are very backward. The
nitrate should be put on at least sev
eral weeks before the oats begin to head
out, and judging from the development
which our own crop has made here, wc
think the tendency from using addition
al nitrate now would be to promote
the growth of leaf and stem at the ex
pense of grain. Either corn or cowpeas
may be grown after the oat crop. We
are disposed to think that corn could
be planted to advantage on this land.
The corn crop, however, will not produce
a larger amount of nutrients per acre
than you can obtain from a good crop
of cowpeas, while the cowpeas have the
advantage of building up the land and
putting it in better condition for fall
planting. They will also increase the
store of nitrogen from 20 to 30 pounds
per acre even though cut off for hay.
On land of the character you describe
a 10-1-4 formula would suit well for
cowpeas. It should be applied at the
rate of 300 to 400 pounds per acre.
For corn we would plow the land aft
er the oat crop is taken off the land
and take sufficient time to prepare a
thoroughly mellow and friable seed bed.
Then plant the corn in 4 1-2-foot rows,
using an early maturing upland or pro
lific type. Heave the corn about 12 to
15 inches apart in the drills. Give light
and rapid surface cultivation and fer
tilize .liberally with 600 pounds of a
formula containing 9 per cent 'of phos
phorus, 3.5 to 4 per cent of nitrogen
and 4 per cent of potash. The advisa
bility of growing either corn or cow
peas will depend on how well you will
be supplied on youj* farm with grain
and roughness. If you will have an
abundance of grain without the corn
we would grow cowpeas. We think
these are the two best crops to plant
after oats. If the season should be
wet and the planting of corn is delayed
as late as the first of July, we would
give preference to the peas.
Lime should be used on land intended
for peanuts. Apply at least 1,000 pounds
per acre, scattering it broadcast over
the surface of the ground after it has
been thoroughly plowed and cultivated.-
Then use about a 10-1-4 formula at
the rate of 300 to 400 pounds per acre
THE GREATEST CHICKEN
AND LIVE STOCK FOOD
BY LORING BROWN-
Note this! Alfalfa is the greatest
egg-producing food that can possibly be
grown. Where conditions are studied
*nd the land is made suitable, just as
much fine alfalfa will grow In Georgia
as in any other state in the country, and
remember, it makes the cheapest food
for either live stock or poultry that can
be produced.
Numbers of acres in Georgia, the
past year, cut from six to ten tons of
cured hay, per acre, worth $25 ped ton.
When alfalfa is ground and mixed
with ground oats, corn or wheat, a small
amount of the mixture makes undoubt
edly the greatest poultry food that can
be had. *
The day is coming, and it is not far
off. when the profitable keeping of poul
try on a large scale will be on the farm
and by the man who produces his own
feed. It has been fully demonstrated
during the past year, with high price
food, that a man to get a profit out of
poultry or any other live stock, must
produce his own food. When this can so
easily be done, and converted, into cash
through poultry, the farmers and poul-
trymen of this country should get busy
on lines of practical saving.
Thousands of dollars have gone out of
Georgia the past year, for poultry foods,
that will never come back to either the
buyer or consumer. Why should we
continue to send offr money away ev
ery year for food products, when we
can produce more per acre l ight at our
door than any state in the country.
The reason is, we ha l ve never thought
about it and have never gotten started
at it. But we must not delay, longer.
The time is at hand when we must live
at home by growing at hpme.
Of all foods alfalfa is the cheapest,
and more tons per acre can be raised
of this than any other food. Next to al
falfa oats are the most profitable. The
sorghum seed and * corn, and wheat,
while a splendid food, produces less per
acre, and comes higher. But anyone caft
raise alfalfa who will study the prin
ciple of culture, and it alone will «tart
and keep poultry better than any othei

being so fixed :.s to enable farmers

niy opinion the greatest thing to do
will be to show the farmer how he can
be independent by producing his own
stuff at home, and having something to
convert into money, and get out of debt
rather than to borrow, which has al
ready been the greatest curse the south
has ever had. The credit system is
all right in its place, but how many
can use it without abuse?
The growing of more food products,
especially alfalfa, will bring about the
production of more poultry and live
stock, at much cheaper cost, and a
larger per cent of profit to the grower
than we can imagine. With plenty of
feed on'every farm in the country, itve
stock and poultry will naturally fol

richer pocket books and a happier peo

M0DERN METHODS
^OF AGRICULTURE
The individual who does not take
courage from the present outlook in the
field of agricultural development must
be a pessimist of the most pronounced
type. The agencies at work promoting
agricultural progress are potent factors
in our development. Individuals, asso
ciations, colleges, the press and agricul
tural departments of our state and na
tional government are all working Har
moniously to place agriculture in the
front rank of otir industries. They have
learned that a country’s and a nation’s
prosperity depends upon a continued af-
ricultural advancement; that our agri
culture can not be advanced unless the
true facts regarding the management
and treatment of soils are understood.
Without a fertile soil there can be no
progress in agriculture. Without a pro
gressive agriculture there can be no
permanency in industrial progress.
Soil fertility then is the foundation of
agriculture and the stone upon which
rests a people’s prosperity and happi
ness.
Scientists have pointed out the way by
which a soil’s fertility may be main
tained. But while maintaining its fer
tility we should increase our crop yield.
Increasing crop yield will not menace
the prosperity and happiness of the pro
ducers as has been hinted at by some
who fail to comprehend the ideas of
commerce and trade. Increasing hrop
yield and maintaining soil fertility is
not “fancy farming.” It is sensibe
farming, practical farming and the only
mode of farming that can be relied upon
to preserve our agricultural supremacy
and perpetuate our prosperity. Any
Other system of farming is soil rob
bery and will sooner or later bring dis
aster to our agriculture.
We are but students of soils and their
capabilities. But we have learned these
reliable truths: All soils contain plant
food In varying proportions. Plants re
move from the soil these plant * foods.
Continuous growing of plants on any
soil will impoverish that soil. How then
are we to avoid soil impoverishment un
less we restore to it the plant foods the
plants take from it? The doing of this
is the whole secret of perpetuating soil
fertility.
An analysis of plants shows the quan
tity of plant food taken out of the soil
by them. To perpetuate the power of
the soil to produce them we must restore
to it the plant food taken from it by
the plant. Modern farm practices re
store to the soil all organic and inorgan
ic substance which grow on the land
not utilized as food in one form or an
other. The modern farmer does not
burn the weeds and grasses and crop-
producing plants left on the soil. These
are all turned into the soil and utilized
in restoring the elements of plant food
taken out of the soil by • them. The
modern farmer practices a system of
rotation and plants leguminous crops
to store plant food in his soil. Modern
methods and practices will not deplete
soil fertility but perpetuate it and thus
contribute to the permanency of agricul
ture and the prosperity and happiness
of a nation’s inhabitants.

LEADERS CONGRATULATED
ON VICTORY IN BELGIUM
NEW ORLEANS, April 24.—A slight
decrease in the prevoiusly forecast
maximum flood stages at New Orleans,
Donaldsonville and Baton Rouge is pre
dicted in a special flood bulletin issued
by Dr. I. M. Cline, district forecaster
of the weather bureau, this morning.
The river gauge at New Orleans is
scheduled to climb to 22 feet, the
same as last year’s record, about May
10. The new forecast for Baton Rouge
is 44 feet, two-tenths of a foot above
last year’s record, and at Donaldson
ville, 35 feet, two-tenths higher than
last* year.
The previous forecast indicated max
imum stages of 22.5 feet .at New Or
leans, 44.8 feet at Batron Rouge, and
35.7 feet at Donaldsonville.
The new forecast is based upon the
water now in sight and is contingent
upon remaining levees holding. Winds
may cause the maximum stages to be
slightly higher or slightly lower than
indicated.
At Natchez, Miss., a maximum stage
of 54 feet, or 2.6 feet above the pre
vious high record, is indicated.
This does not change the previous
maximum stage forecast by Dr. Cline.
The weather bureau bulletin says:
“The Mississippi river below Vicks
burg, and the Atchafalaya, will come
to a stand and then fall for a few days
as a result of the increased width of
the crevasse near Mawersville, Miss.
With the return of the crevasse water
there will be a rise.”
Showers and thunder storms are pre
dicted today and tonight in the lower

The little tots are always
j ' fond of pastry, but if made from lard
it’s bound to be greasy and indigestible,
and isn’t good for their little stomachs;, if made from
butter, it’s too expensive—at present butter prices.
Cottolene
is far better than lard because it is a vegetable product, never makes
food greasy, never causes indigestion. It is the equal of butter at about
one-third the price. So why be extravagant?
Feed the “kiddies” their
fill of pastry—if made from
Cottolene it won’t harm
them.
Cottolene is both econom
ical and healthful.

WEEVIL EATER HAS
BEEN DISCOVERED
W A SHINGTON, Apri 1 2 4.—Parasi tes
which will destroy the weevil that
preys on the alfalfa crops of the west
have been discovered in Italy by W. R.
Thompson, representative of the United
States bureau of entomology in that
country, ftfe has just notified Dr. L. O.
Howard, chief of the bureau, that a
shipment of these parasites is on its
way from Europe. The alfalfa weevil
has not spread to any such extent as
the cotton boll weevil, but, as many
farmers throughout the west include
alfalfa as one of their principal crops,
the timely introduction into their fields
of an enemy to the pest will save
many agriculturists from loss.
under the peanuts at the time of plant
ing. The Spanish peanut is probably
the most prolific of all the varieties and
is grown quite extensively. It is a
small nut, however. If you desire a
largq one, you will find the Virginia
Runner, Virginia Bunch and North Car
olina all good varieties.
IHC Wagons Are Tough
D ID you ever notice, when
one of the wheels of your
loaded wagon dropped into
a rut or bumped over a stone, how the
seat springs gave and rebounded, almost
throwing you off? That is an indication
of the shock and strain that the rigid
spokes and axles have to stand when
ever the wagon is traveling over a rough
road or through a field. Even on a
smooth road there is always the crush
ing strain cf the load, affecting every
part from the top box to the lowest
point of the tire. IHC wagons
Weber New Bettendorf
Columbus Steel King
take these stresses and strains as a matter of course.
They are made to stand just that sort of work. From
neckyoke to tail board they are built of selected, air-
dried lumber, strong and tough, bending to strains but
coming back as straight and true as ever when
the load is removed. Besides being tough,
IHC wagons are light running. The wheels
have just the right pitch and gather, and run
true. All skeins and skein boxes are paired.
The running gear is assembled by skilled work
men whose wages depend as much on the quali
ty as on the quantity of the work they turn
out. Machine work, being more uniform and a
great deal faster, takes the place of hand work wher
ever possible. Consequently, IHC wagons are prac
tically all of the same high standard of quality
throughout.
You cannot do better than to equip your farm with
IHC wagons. Weber and Columbus wagons have
wood gears; New Bettendorf and Steel King have steel
gears. The IHC local dealer sells the wagon best
suited to your work and your conditions. See the
wagon at his place of business and get catalogues and
literature from him, or, address your request to
