THE TRUE CA USE OF TUBERCULOSIS
A S a result of the discovery of the
presence of tuberculosis in some
of the dairy herds in Georgia,
many theories as to its cause have re
cently been advanced As might be an
ticipated ,a majority of them are utter
absurdities, and wtihout foundation in
fact. Tuberculosis is a very old dis
ease, its presence having been recorded
from the earliest times. For centuries
its nature was not understood and it
was only in 1SS2 that the distinguish
ed German physician, Dr. Robert Koch,
discovered and named the germ which
is responsible for this disease, and
Vhich is technically known as bacillus
tuberculosis. This malady is wide
spread. Indeed its inroads on the hu
man race are so great that it is known
as the “white plague.” It is also rather
commonly met with among cattle, es
pecially where they are hot kept un
der the most sanitary conditions or
where diseased animals are not detect
ed and eliminated through the applica
tion of the tuberculin test. While human
beings and cattle are the chief victims
of this trouble, hogs and chickens are
often affected.
It has long been known, for instance,
that tuberculosis was catching. The
writer has known of instances where it
has been transmitted from year to year
to cows standing in the same stall,
though healthy animals took the place
of the diseased ones at the end of each
twelve months. This trouble is of such
an insidious nature that the owner may
not notice any evidence of its presence
for months *and sometimes years. It is
this slow development which is the chief
reason for the great loss which tuber
culosis causes the farmers, for it some
times occurs in a healthy looking ani
mal. From this statement it is clear
ly evident that tuberculosis is entirely
due to the presence within the animal
of the germ bacillus tuberculosis and
that it can be produced in no other way.
Therefore, it is ridiculous to think that
cotton seed meal or any other whole
some concentrate used as a cattle food
could be responsible for producing this
trouble.
As all who are familiar with tubercu
losis no doubt recall, oils have fre
quently been used by physicians as one
of the best known methods of combat
ing it successfully. Cod liver oil is
still largely used, and it is even claimed
that cotton seed oil has been used to
■some advantage. Other oils have been
recommended and are now used quite
extensively. Since a good grade of cot
ton seed meal contains a considerable
per cent of fat largely in the form of
oil, it should be very wholesome for
affected animals and should tend to help
build up the tissues of the body against
Its inroads by reasons of the fact that
it also contains such a high per cent
of protein. While, of course, protein is
not a direct source of fat under cer
tain conditions, it may take the place
of the same, and owing to the super
abundance of this element in cotton
seed meal it probably does so to a
greater or less extent.
One of the best ways of warding off
tuberculosis in a dairy herd would be
to first test the animals placed therein
and reject those showing any evidence
of disease; maintain the herd under the
best sanitary conditions, which means
an abundance of fresh air and sun
shine; and provide an area for the ani
mals to graze over. In addition, they
must be fed on wholesome, well-bal
anced rations which contain an abun
dance of those elements chiefly needed
by th,e dairy corw in the elaboration of
milk or by the beef animal for the lay
ing on of flesh. For dairy cows no
more wholesome ration can be provided
for summer grazing than a good Ber
muda pasture with 2 to 3 pounds of
cotton seed meal a day fed in equal
proportions night and morning. In the
winter time there is nothing better
than a combination of cotton seed meal
with silage made from corn and sor
ghum. A little dry roughness can be
fed to good advantage. This may con
sist of huls or of cowpea hay. About
4 to 7 pounds of • cotton seed meal
should be fed, depending on the weight
and size of the animal. It is possible
that cotton seed meal could produce in
digestion if improperly fed as to quan
tity or if the quality were not of the
highest grade, but otherwise it could
exert no injurious effect in the system.
We feel safe in making this statement,
for it has been fed under the writer’s
observation to herds of dairy cows con
sisting of thirty to one hundred ani
mals for nearly twenty years.
The college herd maintained on the
farm at Athens is free from tuberculo
sis. It has been carefully tested each
year for the past six years. Forty or
more animals have been examined an
nually and not a single reaction has
been obtained. This herd has been fed
almost exclusively on cotton seed meal,
silage, shredded corn stover, and pea-
vine hay and grazed on Bermuda sod
in the summer, cotton see meal being
fed as the compaion concentrate. This
herd is not only in a healthy and vig
orous condition, but is yielding more
milk at present than ever before in its
history, and it has been so managed
that it has made a net profit from year
to year. The fact that a herd of this
size has been maintained under the con
ditions mentioned for so long a period
of time without any signs of tubercu
losis establishes beyond question or
doubt the fact that cotton seed meal is
or can be in no way related to the
cause of this trouble.
Farmers and dairymen must not be
misled, therefore, by any statement to
the effect that cotton seed mail will
produce tuberculosis, or is in any way
associated or responsible for the pres
ence, development or spread of this
disease. Pure, wholesome cotton seed
meal should be fed as extensively in
Georgia as practicable, because it is
l such a rich foodstuff and so well adapt
ed to the nutrition of beef and dairy
cattle, because it will increase the
value of the yard manure, and on ac
count of the fact that it is a home
grown product and furnishes the re
quired elements essential for the nu
trition of live stock at a lower rela
tive cost than they can be purchased in
any other concentrate on the market at
the present time.

DISTANCE APART OF CORN.
S. C., Griswolclvillc, Ga., writes: I wish
to know If I bara my corn too thick. It
is on well drained, stiff, red, sandy land.
I broadcasted ten tons of litter and top
soil out of the woods, and then took a
shovel and laid eff my rows four feet
apart, and put the corn nine inches apart.
I used Marlboro Prolific corn and tested
the seed by the Itag Haby method. I have
a nice stand. I expect to use 400 pounds
of 16 per cent acid, 12 per cent kainit aud
cotton seed meal. I am going to make two
side applications later on.
Toil have prepared your land very
well and I congratulate you on the ef
fort you are making to bring science to
your aid in the matter of growing a
large and profitable crop of corn. The
thorough preparation of the seed bed is
a matter which can not be emphasized
too strongly, for it is the home of the
plant, and therefore, we must put it in
ideal condition to relieve the seed.
You have used a good variety of corn,
.provided you secured a strain which
was carefully selected, and you acted
wisely in testing the seed before plant
ing. As a result, you now have a fine
stand. If you are not going to use
more than 400 pounds of the fertilizer
mentioned, we would be disposed to ad
vise you to thin the corn to about 12
to 15 inches apart in the drill. If you
intend* to use 400 pounds of fertilizer
now and make two side applications in
addition, making in all 800 pounds of
fertilizer, we hardly think it necessary
for you -to thin the corn. We would ad
vise you to use a formula which con
tains a considerable amount of nitro
gen. Ypu do not say in your letter the
proportions in which you expect to mix
the acid, kainit and cotton seed meal,
and therefore, we can not figure out
the formula you have in mind. If
had this information we could advise
you more definitely concerning the thin
ning of the corn and the amount and
character of fertilizer to use.

MANAGEMENT OF A SORE
UDDER.
S. W. F., Eastanollee, Ga., writes: 1
have a cow which has been sick for two
weeks. Her calf is four weeks old. She
does not eat hardly anything and her
udder and teats are broken out in little
sores. Some of them are festered. Please
tell me what Is the trouble and what to do.
Possibly your cow suffered some in
jury during the process of parturition
and has not fully recovered therefrom.
Sometimes animals are quite puny for
several weeks after calving, and in order
to get them into good condition, it is
necessary to feed and handle them with
extra care and skill. If your cow. is not
on pasture, provide her with green feed
as soon as practicable. Cut out any
concentrates you may * be feeding now
and use wheat bran in the form of
mashes for some few days. If she seems
to be suffering from indigestion or is
at all constipated, a dose of Epsom
salts or oil will be found very beneficial.
After this, give a tonic .condition pow
der for a few days. Look after the
dietary carefully and see that only
wholesome food is used in moderate
amounts. It should be of a rather laxa
tive nature and easily digested.
The teats should be carefully washed
off with warm water, and then rub care
fully with vaseline or some other heal
ing, soothing ointment, such as oxide'
or zinc one ounce, and benzoated lard
four ounces. Mix these materials to
gether and use externally.

A FORMULA FOR ' MIXING FER
TILIZER.
J. L. L., Warrenton, Ga., writes: I
would like a receipt for making high-grade
guano, as I wish, to mix my own fertilizer.
To mix a ton of fertilizer, first de
termine the formula you have in mind,
and then multiply the percentage by 20,
and this gives the amount of plant food
required per ton. The percentages in
dicate the amount of plant food in 100
pounds, and as there are twenty 100
pounds in a ton, the multiplication of
the per cent by 20 gives the amount
of the particular kind of available plant
food in a ton. For instance, suppose it
is desired to mix a 10-4-4. Ten per
cent multiplied by 20 equals 200 pounds
of phosphoric acid per ton. Four per
cent of nitrogen multiplied by 20
equals 80 pounds of nitrogen per ton;
4 per cent of potash multiplied by 20
equals 80 pounds of potash per ton. To
find then the mount of the different
materials which must be mixed togeth
er. first determine the source from,
w'hich the materials are to be derived
and the percentage of available plant
food in each one. If 16 per cent acid
phosphate is used, for instance, divide
200 pounds by .16, which equals 1,250
pounds of acid phosphate, which is the
amount required to furnish 200 pounds
of available phosphoric acid. If 16 per
cent nitrate of soda were used as the
source of the nitrogen, it would require
500 pounds to supply 80 pounds of
available nitrogen, and if 50 per cent
muriate of potash were used, it would
require 160 pounds of this material to
supply 80 pounds of available potash.
Adding these amounts together and we
have a total of 1,981 pounds. If you
desire to bring this amount up to 2,000
pounds, add 19 pounds of filler.

c-ial inoculation. I used^two buttles of cul
tures last year, but cannot say what effect
it will have on this year’s .crop. Some
firms claim that cultures costing .$2.00 per
acre will furnish as much nitrogen as 1,000
pounds of nitrate of soda. Is this true?
It is true that all leguminous plants
under certain conditions have the power
of assimilating atmospheric nitrogen. If
you will dig up some peas or beans in
your garden, you will probably observe
some little white knots on the roots,
and with the aid of a power microscope
it wou^d be possible through making an
examination of these nodules to bring
to view certain little rod or club shaped
bacteria. These have the power of as
similating the nitrogen. Suppose on
examination of your peas you find an
abundance of th© nodules. The crop may
still look healthy and vigorous, but it
is living^ on the nitrogen taken out of
the soil and not on that which should
under proper conditions be assimilated
from the atmosphere. W here leguminous
plans do not gather atmospheric nitro
gen, it is generally due to the fact
that the soil does not contain the bac
teria which live in the nodules. It is
desirable therefore to seed these bac
teria on soils barren of them. This may
be accomplished in one or two ways. In
the first place if you take soil from a
garden, where peas have grown suc
cessfully for several years and scat
ter it on a new tract of land and work
it in with a harrow, the chances are
that enough bacteria will be transferred
to inoculate the new piece of ground.
In the laboratory bacteria are often iso
lated and put up in special cultures,
and then scattered over the seed just
before planting. This is called artifi
cial inoculation. We fcave had varying
success with it. Sometimes artificial
cultures prove very valuable and some
times they fail. It depends much on
how the culture is put up. There is only
one objection to the use of the soil
in that it may result in the introduction
of noxious weeds and diseases on to
the new areas of land. The large seed
ed legumes seldom need inoculation.
Where they do the soil may be used or
one of the artificial cultures. We are
inclined to think we would rather use
the cultures. Just what the merit of any
particular culture on the market may
be the writer can not say. T;ha,t could
only be determined by a specific^ test.
We would secure them from the most
reliable firms, and if you will observe
the results obtained from their appli
cation, you can determine pretty well
just what their efficiency may be. All
small seeded legumes such as the clov
ers, and alfalfa in particular, should
either have the ground on which they
are to be sown inoculated by special
cultures or through the use oij soil.
BUILDING UP THIN LAND.
J. C. Ij., Louisville. Ga., writes: I Have
a field that I would like to build up. It
was in oats and vetch in 1911, and in peas
in 1912. Feas were cut aud land sown in
oats without breaking. I have pastured the
field a little, but intend to let vetch mar
ture before pasturing the land. Would you
■ advise the use of acid phosphate or ground
rock phosphate? I notice the latter is
guaranteed to “contain from 6t> to 65 per
cent or bone phosphate of lime which they
say is equivalent' to 28 to 32 per cent of
phosphoric acid or 12 to 13 per cent of
phosphorus.” What does this mean?
We would be disposed to advise the
use of acid phosphate on the land de
scribed in your letter. If it contained
some vegetable matter, we thing the
ground rock phosphate might give you
satisfactory results, but in our expe
rience rock phosphate has only proven
profitable where the land is well sup
plied with organic matter, either
through green crops plowed under or
heavy applications of yard manure. No
doubt rock phosphate will come into
more general use as rotations are
adopted in this state and the supply ol
humus in the soil increased thereby.
Where rock phosphate is used we think
an application of 1,000 pounds per acre
would be about right. The amount of
the acid phosphate to apply will de
pend on a number of conditions, but
from 300 to 500 pounds may be used
on some of our soils which are rather
low in this element, especially in an
available form. There are probably
some soils in Georgia which do not re
spond to the use of potash. Most ot
our clay soils contain a considerable
store of this material, and where lime
is used consistently and under rational
methods of management, it is possible
that little potash will be needed on the
average farm crop, as lime could be de
pended on to set a sufficient amount vt
it free to supply crop needs. You no
doubt understand that acid phosphate
is largely made from the rock mined in
Tennessee and in other places through
out the South. As It comes from the
mine it is found to contain varying
amounts of what is. known as bone
phosphate of lime. In the instance to
which you refer, this happens to be
GO to 65 per cent. To convert bone
phosphate of lime into phosphoric acid,
you have to multiply the percentage
shown by .458. To convert phosphoric
caid into phosphorus, multiply the per
centage shown by 43.7. In other words,
in bone phosphate of lime the phos
phorus is mixed with the lime, and,
therefore, to find out its equivalent
content of phosphoric acid or phos
phorus, you must proceed as indicated
and multiply by the factors suggested.
Of coudse, you understand that the acid
phosphate of commerce is made by
treating 1,000 pounds of hone phosphate
of lime with 1,000 pounds of sulphuric
acid. This changes the phosphorus from
a relatively inert or slowly available
condition, into, for instance, what we
term water soluble phosphoric acid.

FIGHTING RUST IN OATS.

BETTER SEED BEDS WOULD
HELP THE COTTON CHOPPER
Cotton chopping has started in the
southern portion of the cotton area and
will advance northward rapidly, costing
the cotton growers several million dol
lars. Cotton chopping is an expensive
operation as commonly practiced and
often costs twice as much r*s it should
on account of the condition the seed bed
is in when the cotton is chopped, or
thinned. Formerly it was the custom to
"bar-off” the cotton or “scrape” it just
before chopping begins. Improved metn-
ods of culture and improved implements
have to a great extent done away with
the use of both the turnplow and the
scraper in cotton culture and the cotton
grower is rapidly realizing that the good
preparation of the soli before planting—
the making of a good seed bed—not only
saves half the quantity of seed formerly
used but leaves the young cotton plants
in surroundings that give them a
prompter and better start and reduces
the cost of chopping and the cost or
subsequent cultivations.
The cotton dropper or a planter that
drops the seed at intervals has not met
with the favor it deserves for the reason
that the seed bed as commonlv made is
not in condition to Insure prompt ana
full germination. The dropper planter,
when used on well prepared ground has
several advantages, one of which is the
saving of the cost of chopping. Several
machines have been placed upon the
market with the hope that they would
take the place of the hand hoe, but none
of them has been accepted with enthu
siasm. Very little of this year’s cotton
crop will be thinned with anything oth
er than the cotton hoe.
Vv hile the hoe is used universally
in the hand cultivation of cotton it is
often not used to advantage—its use
is entirely too mechanical. The aver
age hoe hand pays no attention to
plant selection while thinning cotton
nor does he appreciate the value of
an earth mulch about the plants
and there is much to teach him as
well as much that may be done to
avoid the bad effects of his unintelli
gent w^>rk. The hoe may be used
skillfully and efficiently or it may
not be.
When the young cotton plants are
very thick great care is necessary if
the plant to be left is not injured by
being bruised, root pruned, allowed to
topple over or by having a hole left
near it where the surplus plants were
removed.
A sharp hoe is an unknown article
in the hands of many cotton choppers,
yet in the cotton field the sharp hoe
is as necessary to good work as is the
sharp axe, at the wood pile. The hoe
should never be raised high in mak
ing a stroke—the stroke motion
should be^ short and nearly parallel
with the surface of the ground and
not in line with the hoe handle, but
sliding to the right or the left—a saw
ing motion.
A 12 or 14-inch and rather coarse
flat or mill file should always be con
venient and used when needed. A
sharp hoe will not last as long as one
aways dull, but will do better work
and much/more rapidly if kept sharp.
To sharpen in the field lay the hoe on
the ground, place the knee on the
handle about a foot from the blade
and a few downward strokes with the
file held in both hands will do the
work.
The proper use of the weeder greatly
simplifies the work of chopping. If
the weeder is run over the field just
before the cotton is up and again when
it is up to a stand, the condition of the
soil surface will be such as . to stimu
late the growth of the young plants
and to decrease the amount of hoe w'ork
as well as kill the young* weeds before
they have done harm. The writer has
used the weeder as many as four times
before chopping and endeavors always
to use this valuable implement three
times; once before the plants are up,
again when they are well up, and again
just ahead of chopping. If the soil has
become too hard for the weeder a spike-
tooth harrow with teeth slanting back
wards is substituted. There is not much
satisfaction in the use of the weeder if
the cotton is planted on high beds.
In a majority of cases the cultivator
should immediately follow chopping and
with fenders set so that the two culti
vator points nearest on either side of
the row will throw loose earth near the
plant, forming an earth near the plant,
forming an earth mulch about them.
When this is done the work of the hoe
may be confined to a narrow strip and
much time saved.
No specific rule can be given for the
distance the plants should stand in the
row, but experience extending over near
ly thirty years with cotton leads to
the well established belief that the av
erage cotton field has two stalks where
there should be,but one.

Noise — How Cured.
There is nothing which can be done
to mitigate the injury caused by rust.
This subject has been studied very ex
tensively, but no practical remedy has
as yet been found save the use of rust
proof varieties. Where the seed is se
lected with care and rust resisting sorts
used, winter oats can generally be grown
with success. We are inclined to think
that much of the seed down last fall
was not carefully selected, and th4t it
probably was not rust-proof to begin
with. Of course, where the farmer has
grown oats for some years and saved his
seed and found them rust resistant, this
explanation would not hold.
Rust seems to be induced largely by
favorable weather conditions, and we
are inclined to think the wet weather of
some weeks ago was responsible for this
trouble. We believe if the season is
favorable from now on you will make
a fairly good crop of oats. It is true
the grain will likely be shrunken and
light in weight, but you may secure a
much better yield than you now antici
pate. If you can put a little nitrate of
soda on these oats we think it will stim
ulate them considerably. We hardly
think it advisable for you to graze them,
though you can do so withonut injury to
live stock, as the rust spores are not
known to be injurious in any way to
live stock.

BftflTLETT DEFENDS FREE
COTTON RAGGING AND TIE
Georgian Takes Important
Part in Tariff Fight-Secures
Concession for Farmers
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, May 8—Congressman
Charles L. Bartlett .successrimy de
fended the free cotton bagging and tie
provision of the Underwood bill in the
house of representatives yesterday,
when it was assaulted by Representative
Moore, of Pennsylvania, and other high
tariff Republicans.
Leader Underwood called upon Judge
Bartlett to defend the section when
Moore proposed to amend by restoring
the duties of the present law, which
amount to approximately 10 cents per
bale on cotton. This duty is paid by
the farmer, so that Judge Bartlett’s
successful fight was a direct help to
the farmers of the south.
The free bagging and tie provisions
of the bill was drafted in the first in- \
stance by Judge Bartlett. Leader Un
derwood adopted as a part of his bill
the language of a measure introduced
by Judge Bartlett the day congress
met. This bill was a copy of a sim
ilar measure introduced at the last ses
sion by the Georgian.
