CHEAP P.ORTEIN FOR FARMERS
The* prooiem of tne aatrynion has
eter been to supply his cows with pro
tein in a cheap and abundant form. The
oretically. this inay be accomplilshed by
growing an abundance of legumes. in
practice it fails to work out, for while
the average farmer may have supplied
himself abundantly wtih silage as his
principal form of roughage, there are
very few who have an adequate amount
of cowpea, alfalfa or clover hay on
liand Even with these materials pro
duced on the farm, a point is soon reach
ed where the cow cannot consume a
sufficient amount of roughage to supply
the protein needs of her bod>’ therefrom,
because although she has a very large
and ample digestive system, protein in
the form of roughage M ont concen
trated to anything like the degree which
prevails in cotton seed mean. Thus while
it is advisable to use lecurne hay, it is
not practicable to substitute it for con
centrates rich in protein.
At this season of the year large num
bers of letters are received from dairy
men complaining about the falling off in
milk flow and wondering how they can
counteract this tendency. The trouble
is attributed, for instance, to cold weath
er. the supposedly natural perversity of
cows, the advance in the lactation period,
it bad qua!it}* of forage, and a deficien
cy in silage. Sometimes the herdsman
is believed not to feed or water the
cows wtih regularity and indeed this
is often true. Seldom, if ever, howev
er, is the primary cause of this trouble
hit upon or appreciated, namely, a de
dciency of protein in the great majori
ty of rations fed to cows. That this
is a widespread defect is shown by the
testimony of the Missouri College of
Agriculture to the effect that the ad
dition of two pounds of cotton seed
meal a day to the ration of a dairy cow
which had previously received corn alone
resulted in a surprising increase in the
flow of milk. This cow had received
besides the grain ration of corn, fodder
and timothy hay for roughness. All of
these materials are low in protein, yet
the above ration is one fed on thousands
of farms all over the United states. In
fact, iu many places in the south, tim
othy hay’ and other similar foods arc
Peing purchased and fed as roughage
at an excessive cost whe nsonie thing
else like hulls, good shredded corn
stover, peavine hay or mixed hay of
'any kind would answer just as well,
provided the roughage is promptly sup
plemented with an abundance of protein
in a concentrate like cotton seed meal
The conclusion reached in Missouri,
namely, that ’‘in spite of the many
things that have combined to raise the
price of cotton seed meal this year, it
is. probably the cheapest concentrate to
buy for the purpose of improving and
balancing up a ration for dairy cows,”
coincides remarkably w’ith our own ex
perience, judgment and observation. It
appears from the figures presented that
this statement is based on a cost price
of 138 end upwards per ton for cotton
seed meal. Therefore, farmers living
; in the southeastern states where cotton
I seed ir.ea! is abundantly produced and
i has always been sold at a reasonable
price when its food and fertilixing value
is considered, should have no difficulty
in amending and adjusting their rations
no as to greatly increase the flow of
milk.
One not familiar with the situation
would probably oe surprised to find
' what large quantities of bran, corn, oats
and shorts are shipped into the south
to be used in rations for dairy cows,
under the impression that these are the
ingredients which will enable the farmer
to provide the cheapest and most desir
able ration. There are in fact farms
' where cotton seed meal Is not fed, or
j at least, utilized in the most limited
I way. Just why there should be such
an abiding faith in these old and very
expensive forms of concentrates is hard
to understand. Probably ft is attribut
i able in a measure to the inherent dis* i
position of the Anglo-Saxon, with his
• ultra-conservatism, to hold fast to the 1
' old and accept the new with great
caution. If whea-t bran, for instance.
. can be purchased at SI.OO a hundred
1 or $20.00 a ton. the protein it contains
i will cost about 8.8 cents a pound. As
; a matter of fact wheat bran can not
J be bought for $20.00; in most instances
{ it will cost *30.00, or even higher, mak
; ing the protein cost nearly 12 cents in*
’ stead of 8.& cents a pound. Even put
ting the moat liberal construction on
' the caw *and giving bran the benefit
j of the doubt, however, it only provides
' available protein at a high cost. On the
i other hand, cotton seed meal, even
■ though costing $38.00 a ton. Will provide
protein ala cort not to exceed 5 cents
! a nound. In other words, every time

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 25, 1916
i the farmer feeds cotton seed meAl at
$38.00 a ton in place of bran at $20.00
a ton, he is saving 3.5 cents a pound on
the cost of his protein. One woald
think that such a distinct and definite
advantage on the part of cotton seed
meal would soon result In the abandon-
■ ment of bian altogethe except for medi
' cinal or tonic purposes.
In this connection, it is perfectly
plain that - protein in corn would be
still more costty than in bran. It is
well to state that while the farmer
should be encouraged to grow all the
protein he can and should utilize
leguminous crops to that end as ex
tensively as possible, it is doubtful if
he will be able to produce this element
for much less than the price at which
it can be bought In cotton seed meal.
These facts have been quoted to show
that by virtue of the '"‘local situation
the southern dairyman is in position
to balance up his ration in the element
in which it is generally most deficient
at a more reasonable cost than can be
accomplished in other sections of the
country. These facts show that cotton
i seed meal even at the unusually high
price now prevailing is still the cheap
est and most efficient source from which
to derive the protein so essential in
the ration of dairy cows.
GROWING VELVET BEANS IN PEAR
ORCHARD.
S. S.. The Rock, Ga., writes: Do you
think velvet beans will grow among pear
trees which are set 30 feet apart each way
and are 20 feet high. We have the orchard
wired in anil wish to pasture hogs on the
beans. Would like very much to have your
opinion of this matter.
One-hundred day velvet beans may do
quite well in your section of the state
if planted in a pear orchard. Much de
, pends of course on the size of the pear
trees and the manner in which they are
trimmed. If headed high so that a good
deal of sun gets through or under them
■ the peas will do much better. It will
do no harm to try them In such a loca
tion, though possibly you would secure
as much or more grain from a crop of
cowpeas or soy beans than from velvet
beans.
We would plant the beans as soon as
danger of frost has passed in drills
about three feet or four feet apart. NV e
would use about 200 to 300 pounds of
acid phosphate under them at the time
of planting. Be sure to tet an early
maturing variety, such as the Hundred
day. This is a speckled variety but
matures in a much shorter time than
the original Florida bean. We feel sure
you will get a good deal of pasture
which of course will be much better for
the maintenance of cows and calves than
hogs. Hogs of course have a rather
limited'digestive capacity compared to
some classes of animals and will do
much better when grazed on leguminous
crops which provides a considerable
i amount of grain.
MEETING THE FERTILIZER SIT
UATION. J
M J. Milledgeville. Ga.. writes: last
year I naed for fertilizing cotton and corn
cotton seed meal and acid ph ?*J‘ b “. te , u
to two. Thia year the priee of' both is so
much higher than 1 atn
mold could be used aa a „ of
or both. 1 have an unlimited quantity of
woods earth and some yard manure under
ehelter. What would be the effect of using
around rock phosphate in the atables and
under the manure shelter? IK e have about
20 head of cattle.
You should make use of all the lea? es
and litter you can secure. These leaves
may be composted by piling in a con-,
venient place where they can be kept
wet, but if reasonably dry they can be
used for bedding to advantage, thereby
insuring the absorption of the liquid
ejected by the animals which contains
nitrogen, one of the most valuable fer
tilizing elements.
By all aieanft make as much yard
fmanure as you possibly can and you
are ce-tainly acting wisely in keeping
jl’ well sheltered. You should see that
It is sufficiently moist to keep it from
heating, however. Wetting it down oc
casionally will help materially.
Leaf mold does not vary greatly in
composition from well-rotted straw.
Leaves contain ordinarily from 9 to 16
pounds of nitrogen and 6 to 9 pounds
of phosphoric acid, and 9 to 16 pounds
of potash. Leaves which have been sub
ject to leaching probably contain the
smaller amounts indicated. Oak leaves
probably contain the higher amounts if
well, preserved. If one could use two
tons of this litter per acre it would
be a great advantage. Where as small
an amount as this is applied we would
favor putting the material under the
drill row for corn and cotton. We would
lopen a wide, deep furrow and scatter
the compost in the bottom of the fur
row. Throw two furrows and fill to
gether In the ground until it is nearly
level for corn and bed slightly for cot
ton.
We would prefer to plant corn in a
slight depression, as it is more likely
to suffer from drought than cotton. We
would use 200 to 300 pounds of acid
phosphate and about 100 pounds of cot
< ton seed meal in addition to the com
post. There is no objection to using
acid phosphate in association with ma
nure. Wc can see no special benefit to
be derived, however, from incorporating
from 200 to 300 pounds with a ton of
manure and this would involve a good
deal of labor and expense as yoti can
readily see.
Raw ground phosphate rock is consid
ered better to mix w’ith compost and
manure . than acid phosphate. More
i over, when mixed with manure the
| crushed rock will not injure the feet of
I animals trampling thereon as might be
|,the case with acid phosphate.
• PREPARING A FORMULA FOR COT
TON.
*, O. R. L.. Douglas. Ga.. Writes: Wtiat
would tube the afialyais of 200 pounds Id
per cent acid, 200 pounds cotton seed meal
and 50 pounds nitrate of soda? YVbat would
you advise using on cotton in this section of
i Georgia ?
Two hundred pounds of I<S per cent
acid phosphate would contain 32 pounds
of available phosphoric acid; 200 pounds
of cotton seed meal would contain 12.36
pounds of nitrogen if analyzing 6.18
per cent of nitrogen or 7.6 per cent of
amonia: and 50 pounds of nitrate of
soda, if of high-grade, would contain
7.8 pounds of nitrogen. Tlierefore 450
I pounds of this mixture would contain
' 20.16 pounds of available nitrogen and
32 pounds of available phosphoric acid.
The percentage composition would be
practically 7 per cent of phosphoric acid
and 4.48 per cent of nitrogen. We
I would consider this a very good formula
to use on soils in your section of the
state on such standard crops as corn
and cotton. It is about as good a fer
tilizer mixture as you can use under
existing circumstances. Os course, if
you can secure nitrogen from other
sources at a lower rate than the ma
terials indicated above, there would be
no objection to using them. Probably
phosphoric acid can not be secured in
a cheaper, form than in acid phosphate.

COMPOSITION OF HARDWOOD
ASHES.
* H. B. W.. Claxton, G«., writes: What
is the compoaltion or pure oak ashes ? I am
expecting to use a large quantity of ashes
with cottonseed meal and acid phosphate.
What proportion of each ingredient should
be n»«d ?
Wood ashes vary much in composition,
depending largely on the character of
wood from which they are produced.
When of good quality they contain 4 to
6 per cent potassium, equal to 5 to 7
per cent of potash: 6 to 9 per cent of
phosphorus, equal to 1 to 2 per cent of
phosphoric acid. They contain from
to 30 per cent of lime. In freshly
burned ashes calcium oxide or quick
lime is the chief calcium content. It
would not be good practice, therefore,
to mix wood ashes with acid phosphate.
It >*ould probably cause the phosphoric
acid to avert to a less available form
than that in which it normaJly occurs.
You will see from these figures that
hardwood ashes will contain possibly
100 pounds of potash per ton, a ltt “*
phosphoric acid and a considerable
quantity of lime. In using wood ashes
we advise that they be scattered over
the soil or mixed well with the sub-soil
gome time in advance of using the fer
tilizer Three hundred to 500 pounds
can be used to advantage. If sit
uated as you are we wou-d mix
900 pounds of meal. 1.100 pounds
of aold phosphate and use 200
to 300 pounds of this mixture. The
ashes of course could be applied
with this mixture. We think this would
probably be the most satisfactory ar
rangement for fetlllzlng your land
which you can expect the present sea

FERTILIZING OLD FIELD
t W Macon, Ga., writes: I have tan
acre* of light, thin sandy land which has
Mt been In cultivation for aeyeral years
and la covered with sedge bruen. I
n'.ent it to corn and peas «u<i follow
witlToata What fertilizer formula would
you advise? _____
Situated as you are we would plow
the land in question as soon as prac
ticable. turning under the c
♦rash to a good depth and then cross
cut with a disc and harrow until a good
Sm seed bed is obtained. Itwould be
an advantage if a heavy ram or two fell
on this ground before you plant it.
When ready to plant the corn mix to
gether 800 pounds of cotton seed meal,
f 100 pounds of acid phosphate. Ise
this formula at the rate of 300 Pounds
per acre Put the fertilizer under the
drljl row at the time of seeding tne
C °lf you can find a formula which you
can prtpare as cheap as this and which
will show’ the same percentage of plant
food, it will be all right to use it. In
other words, we are not wedded to this
particular ’combination, but consider it
an excellent thing to use at this time in
view of the disorganization of the fer
tilizer market on account of the Euro
pean war.
COMPOSTING WITH N|ANURE
FLOATS.
D. C. S„ Fort Valley, Ga.. wirtes: la
using !•*«■ ground phosphate rock, please
advise if you would recommend using same
in compoat with stable manure.
There is no reason why ground rock
phosphate should not be used in associa
tion with stable manure. It is best to
mix the ground rock phosphate with the
manure. Use about 1 to 2 pounds per
head per day, but at the rate of 40 to 80
pounds per ton of manure. You under
stand of course that if you applied this
minure at the rate of 5 tons per acre
you would still only be using the equiva
lent of 190 pounds of phosphate rock per
acre, which would not enable you to dis
pense with the use of acid phosphate
unless you were prepared to apply as
much as 1,000 pounds of rock phosphate
per acre once in at least three years.
You will not secure quick returns from
rock phosphate and we hardly think you
could afford to use it except on soil loca
tions which are especially well supplied
with organic matter. Use the rock
phosphate tn association with yard ma
nure as it helps to set the unavailable
plant food in this material free more
quickly than if it were applied by itself.
Therefore its use in association with
yard manure is advisable.

DESTROYING WARBLES IN CATTLE*
G. W. W.. Jackson. Ga., writes: I have
a fine young row with her back full of
screw worm* or warbles. Kindly advise me
bow to get rid of them. ■
The trouble about which you write is
a very common one in the United States,
and is produced by "warble floes, as
they are called. The adult of this spe
cies is about the size of a honey bee.
She deposits her eggs in the summer on
the skin of cattle in the region of the
heel. The animals lick them off and the
vggs hatch when taken into the moutn.
The larvae, after remaining for some
time in the gullet, finally work their way

NEAL OF THE
NAVY
(Continued From Last .Issue.)
CHAPTER LXIII.
THE EDGE OF THE WORLD.
Hernaudez crouched behinu one
of the huge earthen jars. The light
that streamed in at the cave's mouth
darkened suddenly, and a huge fig
ure crept in. At first Hernandez
thought this was the pirate chief —
but that fierce fighter was lying far
’tcross the pit with a bullet through
his head. The figure crept on far
ther—then Hernandez saw.
It was llington. Ilington was un
armed~his face was blood covered
and grimy with powder. He was a
tigure fearful to behold. There was
a strange light in his eyes. Ha
paused for a moment at the threshold
and then, waiting a moment until
his eyes became accustomed to the
darkness, strode on. He approached
an earthen jar and peered into it —
thrust his baud into its metallic
liquid.
"‘Quicksilver/’ he said. Hernan
dez, quivering with fear, darted
from his hiding place, made for the
entrance, reached it, caught the
rungs of a ladder and climbed like
an orang-utang to safety. Ilington
saw him, muttered an oath—a
round wholesome oath —and fol-
lowed. A bit more clumsy—too un
familiar with his footing, Ilington
i was slow. But once he reached the
ground above he tore after Her
nandez like mad.
Hernandez ran blindly, and found
himself cornered on the edge of a
high cliff.
Ilington caught him, tore from
him Hernandez’ every ready knife,
and faced him squarely.
“I swore to tear you apart with
my hands,” cried Ilington beside
himself with rage, ’•'and I’m going
to do it.”
"Two can play at that,” panted
Hernandez, “come on.’*
Ilington came on —reckless of the
fact that he was fighting on the
edge of a precipice. For a short
space the men fought with some re
gard for science—giving blow for
. blow. But Hernandez clinched, was
thrown —clinched and was thrown
again. He squared himself once
more, than broke and ran five paces
to the left. He dropped suddenly
and recovered his knl?e, and waited
for Ilington’s onslaught.
Far to the rear Annette plucked
Neal’s wrist,
"Look —look," she cried, “Hernandez
and my father—and the Portuguese has
a knife. z
She wad not the only watcher. Bq
low on shore a fresh boatload of
rines were landing. They had seen the
fight—they watched It now. Their of
ficer peered through his glasses.
, "Our friend the Portuguese," he said,
"we've got to get him and take him
back. The world needs one Hernan
dez lose.”
Even as he spoke, Hernandez struck
with his knife and ripped open Illing
ton’s arm.
With a wild cry the fresh marines
scrambled up the cliff. Climbing, they
spread a net. On the plateau the same
thing happened. Behind the two fight
ing men crept up the survivors of the
recent fray. The Missouri, from cap
tain down to cook, was after this Her
nandez.
But Illington and Hernandez never
not>d these silent stealthy approaches.
Illington, bellowing with rage, and
with the pain of his wound, leaped for
his adversary with a blow that would
have felled an ox. The blow accom
plished little—save that it hurtled the
knife out of Hernandez’ graps—and
sent it clatering down the cliff. Her
nandez, cool with the coolness Os des
peration. side-stepped, and lifting one

I didn’t do it—something stayed my

Neal formed his men in line—they
were joined by the squad that climbed
the cliff.
“Forward, march," said Neal. An
nette and her father followed them. In
side of fifteen minutes the little squad
were scurrying about the inside of the
cave They were plunging their hands
into the liquid metal and letting it
run through their fingers.
“Some little Island, this," they com

“It took you boys to get it for us,”
returned Ilington. "without you. Lost
Island would have been lost forever,
and so would we."
He turned to Annette, "Annette,” he
said, "this is yours—all yours. You
are a princess—this is your kingdom.’’
He stretched wide his arms to include
all Lost Island. “Your kingdom," he
repeated.
Annette looked at Neal. Neal looked
at Annette —then he rushed forward and
caught her in his arms.
Annette glanced at the bdys in blue.

Count Von Bernstorff Holds
no Leal Action Can Lie
• Against Liner
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—Formal rep.
reeentationa were made to the wtate de
partment today by the German embassy
against the proceedings brought In th«
federal court at Norfolk to return th«
captured British liner Appam to hei
owners.
In a note resented by Count vor
Bernstorff. the German ambassador 11
is contended that many precedents, a.-
well as the terms of the Prussian.
American treaty, provide that no legal
action can He against the Appam, held
by a German crew as a prize of war,
nor against Lieutenant Berg, her oom*
m and er. It also is contended that, in»
asmuch as Lieutenant Berg has extra
territorial rights, no legal action can li«
against him.
The note suggests that when the cas<
comes up in court, March 2, that th«
state department inform the court oi
the terms of the treaty.
