Ga. .A STUDY OF FOOD VALUES An ever increasing number of farmers : , are seeking information as to the correct , basis on which to estimate the relative ' feeding value of various foodstuffs which ; they find it necessary to purchase an.i i use from time to time. It is but na- I tural that th.s should be the case for I •the most reliable fiKures available In-1 dicate that out animal industries are . making rapid strides forward, and hence Question of maintaining live stock F economically in view of the high cost ' of foodstuffs is engaging the attention of our farmers more seriously than ever before. Foodstuffs are valuable in maintain ing live stock for three essential pur poses and in proportion as they supplj protein, carbohvacates and fat. Fats may be reduced to what may be termed their carbohydrate equivalent by multi plying by 2.33. Fats, of course, produce more heat and energy than carbohy drates. The basis of ascertaining the relative value of these two substances is determined by the number of calories or hmt units each will produce. A calorie represents the amount of heat required to raise one pound of wlter about four degrees Fahrenheit. A therm is the amount of heat required to raise; 1.000 pounds of water nearly four de grees Fahrenheit. A therm is. therefore the same as 1.000 calories. The fuel value of 100 pounds of pure digestible protein is approximately 262 of pure digestible carbohydrates 180, and j of pure digestible fat 422. The careful studies made along the lines indicated furnish us, therefore, with a fairly ac curate basis on which to de’ermlne the relative merits of different concentrates in relation to their value for- nourishing animals, and th s is the only truly scien tific way of determining which form o' > concentrates is most economical for the farmer to purchase and use for a given purpose.

GKEGOBY. K-202. St. Louis. Mo. I contains about 9.2 per cent of digestible protein. 67.5 per cent of digestible car bohydrates and 1.5 per cent of digestible fat. <»ne hundred pounds of wheat bran contain 80.1 pounds of digestible nu- I trients. Every farmer is more or less well supplied with the carbohydrates and fat needed, while protein is relatively I scarce and high in price. Most,.rations ' fed to live stock are if anything too low I in this vary important and essential ele ment. and by reason of its greater cost and scarcity it is generally not supplied in rations in a desirable amount. Na turally animals so fed are not able to perform as economically as those which are fed a balanced ration. If we assign to protein a value of 3 cents a pound, and to carbohydrates and fat a value of 1 cent a pound, we find that a ton of wheat bran, containing 1.602 pounds of digestible nutrients, would be worth $19.70 for feeding pur poses. A ton of wheat bran contains 184 pounds of digestible protein, which at 3 cents a pound would represent a value of $5.52. It contains 1,418 pounds of carbohydrates and fat. which at 1 cent a pound would represent $14.18. Corn chops contain 6.9 per cent of digestible protein. 69 per cent of digestible car bohydrates and 3.5 per cent of digestible fat. or a total of 53.8 pounds of digesti ble food per 100 pounds. There is an ap parent discrepancy*in the total amount of digestible nutrients in 100 poinds of the different materials referred |o in this article. This supposed difference Will be cleared up..however, if the reader i will bear in mind .that in each instance ’ the fat has been multiplied by 2.25, | thereby rcdjicing it to its carbohydrate equivalent. A ton of corn chops contains 138 pounds of digestible protein and 1.53 S pounds of digestible carbohydrates and fat. The protein on the basis of 3 . cents a pound is worth $4.14, and the car bohydrates and fat, $15.38. Oats contain 9.7 per cent of digestible protein, 51.2 per cent of digestible car bohydrates and 3.8 per cent of digestible , fat. or 70.4 pounds of digestible matter | per 100 pounds. A ton of oats contains • 194 pounds of digestible protein, worth, at 3 cents a pound, $5.82, and 1,408 pounds of digestible carbohydrates and i fat worth $14.08, making its value per I tor.. <19.90. Pearuits. with the hulls, contain about i 20.2, per cent of digestible protein, 16 per cent of digestible carbohydrates and ! 10 per cent ot digestible fat, or 58.7 poundjFof digestible nutrients per 100 | pounds. A ton of peanuts contains 404 pounds of digestible protein, which at 3 cents a pound is worth $12.12. and Bio j pounds of carbohydrates and fat worth ‘ SB.IO. The nutrients in a ton of pea i nuts ground with the hulls are thereture worth $20.22. Choice cotton seed meal contains 37 per cent of digestible protein, 21.8 per ’ cent of digestible carbohydrates and 8.0 I per cent of digestible fat, or a total of , 78.2 pounds of digestible nutrients per > 100 pounds. A tdn of cotton seed meat . contains 740 pounds of digestible pro tein, which at 3 cents a pound repre sents a value of $22.20, and 824 pounds of digestible carbohydrates and fat, worth ' $8.24, making the nutrients in a ton ol ' this material worth $30.4 4. The figures presented do not take into I consideration the fertilising value of the concentrates mentioned, which would, of course, enhance the value of all of them, | but more particularly of cotton seeu meal than of any of the other foodstuffs mentioned. It will be observed that the figures presented in the case of all ot these materials are lower than the price one would have to pay for a ton ot each in the open market at the present time. In fact, it is probably now nec essary to pay 4 cents a pound for digest- I ibie p« otein, and at least 1.5 cents a pound for digestible carbohydrates and fat. In many concentrates, such as 'wheat bran, corn chop and oats now largely purchased and fed often through a misapprehension of tneir real feeding value, it would be necessary to pay 2 cents a pound for carbohydrates and fat. In the ease of wheat bran, for instance, 4 cents a pound for digestible protein, and 2 cents a pound for digestible fat. would make a ton of this material worm $35.72 or a price not far from what it now commands on the market. The same tigures applied to cotton seed meal, how ever. would make the protein worth s3u and the caroohydrates and fat, $16.48, or a total of $46.48 per ton. On any basis, iherefore, cotton seed meal holds its own as a cheap source of digestible protein for the farmer. As a matter of fact, if we allowed only 3 cents a pound for digestible protein in cotton seed meal and 2 cents for the carbohydrates and fat available in any of the foodstuffs mentioned, cotton seed meal would then sell at $.18.68 per ton and supply protein at one-fourth less cost titan it can be obtained through bran, corn shops, oats or peanuts ground with the hulls. J These facts are cited and this expo sition of the case has been made in the ’ hope of enlightening many farmers and • stock owners who are seeking a basis • n which to estimate the proper coni i inercial value of the various foodstuffs hey are using, and to determine for their | own satisfaction which will supply nu trients in the cheapest form and the ones they should select for use as the ! basal part of the rations they expect to feed. • • • i ORGANIZING A RANCHING PIP'POSITION. A ■•imispoii lent, t'ogdell, Ga., writes: W-! have aboit "iI.W a«Tvs of land in a pretty c..m|>a<-t ixwty end are going into the cattle and h«>c b idncsa. We expect to start with native cows. How many acre* nt na tive p: st .ire rill it take for these <wv, and rt;eir liK-n-ase for two year.? How many bolls would we need? How manj calves might vo evpect? H<«w much silage and i cotton -wl m«>al or velvet besn tneal should I he fed? Iww many tnnles would we need to .ultiv.tr tin- farm tnd how many la bof»n«? ••'* estimate that it would re quire four *ad-ile tiorw-s for cowboys io ride to look after the cattle and tlv pasture fences. A.iy advice yor o»n offer oti ■ proposition this kinl will be appreci ated. _ You should allow from ten to twenty ’ ac res as range for each individual head of live stock you expect to maintain. I'nleaa your pasture lands are very much different from those with which I an acquainted they will vary considerabi r» their ability to maintain live stock and then the amount of grazing whirl •hey will receive will have to be con salered to a considerable extent by sea sonal conditions. To be absolutely safe i we are inclined to the larger figure men tioned. You should keep one good vig orous. well developed male for every , fiftv females. A larger number of sire< woiild be an advantage, especially where vou allow the animals to run on the | nge and do not attempt to keen them , ‘n a most vigorous condition. 6 The number of calves you should ex l ect will denend on the nature of th*' • herd, the vigor of the sires maintained ’ and the character of the foundation THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1917. s. Under ordinary circumstances we iiink you might count on a call crop ot sU per cent. Your plan of handling the live stock is alright in that you will laminate tin - undesirable cow.s and at <ll times maintain 1,900 breeding caws Hie think your estimate of the cowboys aeeded to ride the range ami look alter the pasture fences is correct. We are incPned to think that you would find :t an advantage to feed silage to all oi your cattle for from one to three m*m«ns during the winter. Wt do not think it will be necessary to feeu t. to the cows unless they should ::et down in a very poor and thin condi tion. Os course if they are kept in good flish they will naturally go through thp winter better and drop a stronger and nore vigorous calf. The cows should be given a ratior for the time they are fed of from twenty to thirty pounds of tilage per head per day. Twenty would probably answer with what they pick up in the pasture. The steers to be 'utteneil should be provided with thirty to forty pounds of silage per head per day. Jp other words, they should be given all of this material they will eat up clean. In feeding cotton seed meal or velvet oeans eithei separately or in equal pro portions. we would begin by allowing the cattle to be finished a ration of two pounds per head per day and we would gradually increase the grain ration about a pound per day until a mixture of seven to nine i»ounds is fed during the last thirty days. We believe you would not want to feed these cattle for a period of not longer than ninety to 120 days. The amount of silage one can produce from an acre of land depends on the natural fertility of the soil, the season and the crops employed. We presume that you could count on but six to eight tons per acre if you employ kafir corn and sorghum. We have found the two crops mentioned, when planted in alter nate rows, to make us a laiige yield of desirable silage and to withstand ad verse weather conditions admirably. If you use lot manure on your soil devoted to silage you can increase the yield prob ably to eight or ten tons per acre. We believe twelve-mule teams could de the necessary work, though we are Inclined to think you could probably use a tractor to advantage as a good deal of your land is presumably level. We advise that you grow all the velvet beans possible, as they can be made to improve your land and then they can also be grazed by your hogs with profit. They wiil make an excellent feed to use with silage, hut a hei»er erain ration will be had if they are fed in equal proportions with cotton seed meal. In ccnclus'cn, therefore, our plan 4voula figure uF about as follows: You would have the equivalent of 1,050 ani mals, including sires, ( to be fed a main tenance ration during the winter months say of twenty pounds of silage. Tn other words, it would take about 900 tons for this purpose. You would have about 800 yearlings which should fig ure on feeding approximately forty pounds of silage for 100 days, which would require something like 1.600 tons, and then you would have 800 calves to which you should feed at least ten pounds of silage per day with possibly a pound or two of grain, which would ♦ake 400 tons of silage. In all. you would need to produce about 3.000 tons nf silage. On the basis of six tons per acre this would call for the cultivation of JJ-00. acres of land. We think you could undertake to nlant 200 acres of velvet beans for grain produc'lon to bo followed by cereals to be used as hay and grain and then seed the land to cowpeas for hogs. Yon could also grow 100 acres or more in corn. Roughly '•neaking, you would have to figure on handling 800 acres or more under crop We believe you could do this successful ly with the twelve teams o* mules sug gested as vou could double crop the land and carry on work in your section of the state in practically all seasons of the year. ... IMPORTANCE OF PSTNG LIME TIN- DER PEANUTS. J. B. R„ Bristol, Ga., writes. 1 would like some lalormation in regard to using lime ou leanut.s. My soil makes a good lot of vine •nd a gmxl many pops. Which would be the best kind of lime to use; oys ter shell or the roek lime? How much should be used per acre? The tendency to produce pops in pea nu s is supposed to be aggravated by the deficiency of calcium in the soil. We suggest that you apply from , 1.000 to 2,000 pounds per acre of either ground oyster shell or finely ground lime rock The lime may be applied any time in January or February after the ground las been plowed. Scatter it uniformly over the surface of the ground and har row it in. There is little to choose be tween the two kinds of lime mentioned In veur letter. We would be governed in purchasing by the relative cost of the -same.* COMBINING CONCENTRATES FOR WORK STOCK. J.

I would like to know the i ert proportions in which to grind this feed and mix for mules, cows and hogs. I also want tc grind peanut hay and wish to know how to feed this. 1 do not wish to buy anything else as I have on hand corn, oats, velvet beans, pen vile hay, l>eauut bay., crab gruss hay and sorghum hay. ' If situated as you are we would pro ceed as follows: Grind any corn or oats and vele\t beans you may have on hand in the mill which you have purchased. We would feed the long fodder in that form, much preferring to run it through a cutting "box to grinding it down to a pulverized form through a mill of the character you describe.

Fertilizer Manufacturers Having Hard Time Getting Materials "In order to get the plant food with which to make commercial fertilizer, so necessary in the south, fertilizer manu facturers are scouring the face of the earth for plant food, and are actually paying more for freight on the materials secured than is usually paid for the materials then, selves in normal times,’’ said Lee Ashcraft, a leading fertilizer material broker in Atlanta. Mr. Ash craft had just paid S6O a ton freight on a cargo of Japanese potash, whereas the normal price of a ton of German potash, the best to be found, is usually around S4O a ton, and normal freight from Ger-, many to Savannah is around $2 a ton. "The south has received a good price for its cotton, corn and other farm products during the past season, and this has stimulated the demand for commercial fertilizers far beyond the manufacturer’s expectations, and he is having a hard time getting his supplies, too.” According to Mr. Ashcraft, no potash has left Germany for this country sinc« January, 1915, two years ago. The effort to produce potash from kelp, a seaweed on the Pacific coast, has proven a disappointment, because the amount produced has not nearly supplied the demand. The same is true of other American sources. With the high cost of corn and other cattle feed, states Mr. Ashcraft, ' the FIETCHEB IS CONSIDEHED FGR FIRM BINK PRESIDENT Bank Examiner Is Indorsed for the Presidency of Bank at Columbiai S. C.

Wade Will Seek New Office in Alabama j. A. Wade, agricultural commissioner for the state of Alabama, was in At lanta on official business Wednesday and while paying a visit on Assistant Agricultural Commissioner Cliff Clay, at ihe capitol, remarked that it was his purpose in the next Alabama election io be a candidate for either the gover norship or for state treasurer. He said it has been his personal inclination to seek the latter office, but that his 'Fiends .throughout the state are bring ing pressure to bear on him to get him io run for governor. Commissioner Wade came here to look after some printing which an Atlanta turn is doing for his department. He kaid the work was lei? by contract ami ihe Atlanta firm outbid all competitors, in equal proportions with corn to horses and mules or corn, cob and shucks ground together with oats, and velvet beans aft er grinding may be mixed in equal pro portions and fed to horses and mules The oats are more valuable for wofk stock than for any other class of ani mals on your farm and on this account we would reserve and use them In the. manner indicated. We do not think it necessary to grind oats except in the case of very old ani mals in which the teeth may have be come impaired. In making a balanced food for beef cattle use velvet beans in the hull and corn cob and shuck meal in equal pro portions. More protein should be pro vided for dairy cows than Is necessary for beef animals. For hogs, corn and cob meal and velvet bean meal in equal proportions will answer very well though of course you may feed two-, thirds corn and one-thiid velvet bean meal if you only have, a limited supply of the lat ter on hand. Ruminating animals do best where you give them some long fodder. This is also true of horses ana mules. It is for this reason that wt advise that you feed pea vine hay and sorghum in its natural condition. . Not more than 5 pounds of peavine hay should ordinarily be fed to horses and mules as this class of animals do not require as much protein in the long fod der as dairy cows. All of these feeds caw of course be cut up into short lengths as indicated above, moistened with salty water and allow'ed to soften for a few hours before feeding. When this is done the long fodder is less likely to produce heaves in horses ana mules and it will naturally be eaten with greater avidity by all classes of live stock. « • * GROWING FLAX COMMERCIALLY IN THE SOT’TH. S. P. R.. Marietta, Ga.. writes: I would like any h formation you can give me on the culture of flax for commercial purposes. Is the climate of southwest Georgia suited to Its rul iiiv’ Would like to have informa tion on kat’ir corn and sunflowers. The boll w-.evil is flourishing in the vicinity of uiy farm. Flax may be grown successfully in so far as seed production is concerned in any lattitude or climate where wheat will mature satisfactorily. For the production of fiber, however, a rather cool climate seems essential. There should also be a rather uniform supply of moisture and good rich soil. This crop Is easily injured by late frost. It us ually requires about ninety days :n which to mature. I judge it would not be practicable for Georgia farmers tc compete in the growth of flax with thost in lhe northwest, where flax is exten sively cultivated as a pioneer or lane gleaning crop. The soils of that section a. virgin ana naturally very rich and flax seems to thrive exceptionally well under climatic conditions prevailing the? e. Kafir corn can be grown with success and satisfaction in Georgia. We have cultivated it on the college farm for a number of years past. We have grown it primarily as a forage crop and have used it in our silo. Presumably It will make a yield of twenty-five to forty bushels of grain, depending on the rich ness of the lard We do not believe :t Is of more importance in Georgia than lie saccharine sorghums. Tt should’rie planted aii 1 cultivated exactly as the saccharine sorghums. Sunflowers will grow satisfactorily in Hus climate. They should of course b. plantet in drills about five feet apart. The seed is chiefly valuable for poul- prices of beeves, hogs, sheep and animals have risen rapidly, and, as a result, the price of packing house prod ucts. one of the chief sources of am monia, have increased from 33 1-2 to 50 per cent. In the south cotton seed, front the meal of which ammonia is secured, has increased from S2O to S6O per ton. The south is feeling the embargo of the British government, which has pre vented the shipment of sulphate of am monia into this country, and, due to the great demand for ships, the freight on nitrate ot soda from Chile to the south, which is ordinarily from $4 to $5 per ton, has increased to from $24 to $36 per ton. Mr. Ashcraft points out that the munition factories are large buyers of sulphuric acid, which ordinarily would go Into the manufacture of acid phos phate, and which has made acid phos phate scarce. All the fertilizer manu facturers complain of the scarcity of labor, and the high prices which are being paid for all labor which can be secured, to turn out the fertilizer so greatly in demand. "The law of supply and demand has struck the fertilizer manufacturer like it has everything elr», and it does not now seem that the supply of materials which the fertilizer manufacturers bought in the fall, with which to supply the spring demand, will be enough to go around.” INSISTS GERMANY NOT READY TO END WAR AT THIS TIME If Peace Is Declared Without Germans Possessing Flemish Coast, England Is Victor, Says German Liberal Deputy (By Associated Press.) LONDON, Jan. 10.—Dr. Gustav Stres emann, German national liberal deputy, in a speech at Hanover Sunday, de clared that Germany must emerge from the war in possession of the Flemish coast, according to an Amsterdam dis patch to the Times. Dr. Stresemann said thf-t Germany, although the second strongest economic power and possess ing the second strongest merchant iieet, not a single navai supporting point to serve for defense in war time. “This war has annihilated our world trade,” he is quoted as saying, "we have forfeited our colonies and our cruiser squadron is lost. If, therefore, the war ended without something of our former situation altered the consequence for us would be the collapse of our national economy because the German merchant would not again risk seeing all that he had created collapse the day after a declaration of war by England. If peace is concluded without Germany possess ing the Flemish coast, England is the winning and we the losing side. A neu tral Belgium is an historical impossi bility after this' war.” Dr. Streseinann added that without tlie future possibility of marching through Belgium, the Germans must fight the next war on the Rhine. He said they looked for a German peace, not one under the protection of a world peace alliance. Such an alliance, he maintained, meant a new Algeciras con gress at which Germany would have against her not only her present ene mies, but a world of neutrals. Dr. B»tresemann laid emphasis on the increasing importance of submarines. He said their full employment would raise the monthly toll of tonnage from half a million to a million tons. This, he said, would mean famine for the English population. The speaker drew enthusiastic applause when he ex claimed: “Out with the U boats.” Experiment Station Directors in Session (Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
