Remarkable progress in the develop ment of hog raising has been made in the southeastern states in the last few years. Those acquainted with this ter ritory have known for a long time that it offered special advantages arid facili ties for the development of this indus try. Eor a long period of time, how ever. the business of hog raising seem ed to stand still. Very little effort was made to improve the character of our hogs. The losses from cholera were excessive due to the failure to use se rum. while the cost of production was excessive because grazing crops were not utilized to anything like the same extent as at the present time. Other factors which have helped to create an interest in hog production are the es tablishment of packing plants at va- THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1918. rlous points in Georgia and other south ern states, and the invasion of the boll weevil which proved sufficiently destruc tive in many sections to necessitate a change in farm practice. It was natu ral that the farmer should turn to the raising of hogs because this business could be started with the least invest ment of capital and with assurances of the quickest returns. As soon as the value of grazing crops became fully ap preciated. it was seen that pork could lie made very cheaply because the hogs would harvest the greater part of the food needed to proper!)' finish them for slaughter. The progress made in pork production in Georgia since 1313 has been little short of phenomenal, and probably the extent of our investment in this direc tion is not as generally recognized as it should be. On January 1. 1913, Georgia fanners owned 1,888,000 head of hogs. On January 1, 1918, they owned 2,757.888 head. This represents an increase in five years of over 800,000 head, or an average of 160.000 a year. The goal set for January 1, 1919, is 3,000,000 head, and with the maintenance of good prices the proper use of serum and the con tinuance of the interest now displayed in hog raising, there is no reason why this goal should not be attained. These figures indicate how quickly a fundamental live stock industry may be built up and developed in aha given state where the conditions are favorable to pork production, and it is needless to point out that if those counties in which weevil damage is greatest will introduce and develop hog raising to the extent which is both practicable and proftiable that they will not suffer any loss by reason by the diminution of the cotton crop. 1 In this connection it is proper to, state that southwest Georgia is now probably the most prosperous section of the state. In the counties I embraced in this territory the weevil damage has been most severe up to the present time. With the advent of this pest, however, the farmers turned their attention to the laising of hogs, to the growing of peanuts, to increasing their herds of cattle and diversifying their farm practice, and as a result they have found what the so called theoretical agriculturists told them for many years that they could conduct their farming operations successfully and with advan tage from a monetary point of view, even though they grew no cotton. What influences other than those enumerated have been concerned in< bringing about the remarkable develop ment in hog production witnessed In Georgia? It is proper to state that the most potent of these has been the edu cational movement led by the State Col lege of Agriculture through its exten sion division. When this institution was first established a number of young men from southwest Georgia came to at tend its courses. They were impressed with the character of certain breeds of hogs with which they first became ac quainted at the college and they pur chased and had a number of these sent back to their homes. The adaptability of these hogs as grazers was quickly realized, and it was not long before many farmers came to understand that they could harvest their crops with the aid of the porcine race and make as much money as from cotton. The edu cational movement thus inaugurated -was fostered through the help of the county agent in every legitimate way. The subject of raising hogs on grazing crops was exploited; bulletins setting forth the merits of different breeds were prepared and distributed; a plan for raising hogs on grazing crops was work ed out; while the aid of the press was called in to inform the farmers just what could be accomplished in the direc tion indicated. About this time the idea of organiz ing pig clubs took form and shape, the first of these being launched in the early part of 1914. Since that time the work has been extended to fifty-one counties. The members of the pig clubs raised in 1917, >31.941.76 worth of hogs at an average profit of 320.49 per head. These same boys exhibited 509 head of hogs at the three principal fairs in the state, and won prizes exceeding 83,400 in value. It is needless to point out that the work of these boys has had a most wholesome effect wherever it has beet, instituted. In many instances th?y were the pioneers in introducing im proved strains of hogs into the com munity. The methods of feeding and management they followed under the guidance and direction of the State Col lege of Agriculture convinced the farm ers that better care and handling of hogs was essential, and that when this was provided that the earlier finishing of the hogs and large profits would re sult. It is the intention and purpose to extend the club work as rapidly as pos sible in 1918. Every patriotic citizen should lend his support to this work. There is no reason why Georgia should not have 10.000 members of the hog clubs in 1918, and every other state should ha\e a proportionately large en rollment. Theer. is no danger of overdoing pork production in Georgia for a long time to come, because the price of hogs for the time being has been stabilized by the food administration, Chicago basis, at $15.15 per hundredweight. In order that farmers may know the opportuni ties which lie ahead in this industry, it may be well to cite a few facts from the records kept by the pig club boys ;n 1917. It appears that the average weight of the hops when the boys be gan feeding them was 26.1 pounds. They were fed on an average of 131 days, and at the close of the season they weighed on an average of 154 pounds. This represented an average dally gain of .98 of a pound. The aver age cost per pound of gain was 3.42 cents and the average net profit per pig, 320.59. The initial value or cost was 38.65 and the final value $33.62. The average gain in weight for the feeding period was 129 pounds. These hogs were developed and finished principally on grazing crops. In some instances some supplemental grain was fed, out for the most part they gathered their own feed without material expense to the owner, save for the planting and cultivating of the crop to the point where it could be grazed successfully by hogs. In the very beginning of this work the boys were required to have pure bred animals. This seemed somewhat of a burden at the time and it was difli i cult to obtain good specimens for thenn . to raise. It was a very wise policy, how ever, and has resulted in materially im proving the grade and character of, 'hogs maintained throughout Georgia. It is now very Interesting to find that 1 there are enough pure-bred pigs avail ! able for all club members at the pres ' ent time. In many counties where the | clubs have been in progress for several ■ years there arc enough pure-bred ani mals available to supply other less for tunate counties. iif course, much re mains to be done, but the improvement witnessed in this direction in the last few years is very remarkable and has resulted in some of the largest packing industries in tlie United States either establishing or purchasing plants in the southeast, for they clearly recognize the progress which has been made and/ are fully convinced of the economy with which pork can be made in this section and the unlimited possibilities which lie before our farmers for producing an ever-increasing number of hogs with advantage and profit. Another factor which has exerted a wonderfully beneficial influence on pork, production in Georgia has been the lib eral use of preventive serum for the control of the disease known as cholera. At one time the herds of the state were decimated. Now, when an outbreak ofl this disease occurs and an application s made to the county agent, he imme diately obtains a supply of serumi through the office of the state veteri narian and instructs the farmer how to use it. As a result, thousands of out breaks of the disease have been stopped in the initial stages, and so in the ag gregate the loss of thousands of hogs prevented. The legislature of the state exercised great discernment and per formed a most important public service when several years ago it required the State College of Agriculture to manu facture this serum at actual cost and provided for its distribution directly through the office of the state veteri narian. This has resulted in the farmers of Georgia obtaining a very satisfactory grade of serum at a reasonable cost, and so has enabled them to combat suc cessfully a disease which previous to the institution of the serum treatment had wrought great destruction and dis couraged the breeding of hogs. In conclusion, it is needless to point out that the state must have slaughter ed last year somewhere in the neighbor hood of 2,200,000 head of swine, and it is not overstating the case to say that these animals should have been worth to lhe farmers alone between 340.000,000 and 350,000,000. The phenomenal in crease in our agricultural and live stock wealth in the last few years Is, there fore, attributable in considerable meas ure to the progress we have made in swine production, and every agency which has been concerned in the attain ment of this end is to be congratulated on the part it has played in its accom plishment. Importance of Having Good Gardens Mrs. T. G. C., Covington, Ga., writes: My hoy, eight years old, shows u great interest in digging in the ground nnd trying to make things grow. I like to work with vegetables and flowers myself. \Ve have a plat of ground 105x140 feet, and would like to operate a miniature Georgia farm On it. We could only have a few rows of each thing, hut would like to know about the rotation of < rops so none of the space will lie wasted. The soil is red clay. We do not know a thing about farming, and will appreciate any suggestions you may give us. It is gratifying to know that your son desires to work in the soil and that you and be wish to cultivate a garden this year in your back yard You could not render a more important service to the country at this time, as the suply of essenttal foodstuffs is short and this will continue to be true for a long time to come, for few people seem to realize the world shortage ot food and the importance of doing every thing in our power, not only to increase the supply of the same, but to conserve what we have to the best possible ad vantage. You :an grow a wonderful amount of vegetables on a plat of ground 105 by 140 feet. The first thing you should do in order to get this ground in shape is to have it plowed at the earliest possible moment. Turn it over to a good depth and then have it harrowed and faked. All the bermuda roots should be raked out. piled up to one side and composted. This ground should be well supplied with vegetable mat ter. To this end you may be a,ble to gather up and scatter over it. several tons of leaves and half decayed litter. Possibly you can obtain several loads of woods earth. If you can not obtain the woods yarth, then you will have to rely on yard manure. Do not be afraid to put two or three two-horse wagon loads of this manure on the area of ground in question. All of the litteb used should be worked into the sur face. It is always difficult to obtain a good stand on the character of ground about which you write. We should therefore practice early seeding, from which we think you will obtain good results. When you do obtain a stand on soil of this type you will find that crops grovfn thereon resist drouth bet ter than on some other land which con tains more sand.

The Georgia State College of Agriculture has bulletins which are free to all the people of the state. Thes? publications show in detail the proper time to plant and the depth, variety and amount of seed required to plan; any given area of land. You can also obtain from this institution, bulletins giving detailed information on how to lay out a given area of ground and so utilize the area to the best advantage and thus insure a proper supply of vegetables to meet the requirements of the family throughout the year. Then after the crop has been produced bulle tins may be obtaaned which will inform you how to proceed to can and pre serve any available surplus to the best advantage and in the most economic manner. mDING COTTONSEED MEAL TO WOM STOCK D. A. 1,., LaGrange, Ga.. writes: We would like to know how to use cottonseed meal to obtain the best results in rations tor cattle and work stock. What rough ness' would you advise feeding with cotton seed meal': Many combinations so cottonseed meal and other forms of roughage may be made to produce satisfactory ra tions for the cattle and work stock kept on the average farm. The amount of grain to feed will vary with the charac ter of roughness available. Naturally, the larger the amount of cottonseed meal and the fewer other concentrates combined within, the less sostly will be the concentrated part of the ration. On that account several mixtures have been suggested. A good combination for horses and mules is 500 pounds of shelled or ground corn with 100 pounds of cottonseed meal. Fifteen pounds of this mixture should be fed with twelve pounds of le gume hay or fifteen pounds of mixed nay. Where some oats are available a good mixture may be prepared by using 500 pounds of corn and cob meal, 100 pounds of cottonseed meal and 150 .pounds ,of oatn. Fifteen pounds of this mixture wil be about the right amount to feed to a 1,000 pound horse and mule doing relatively hard work. When standing idle the ration should be reduced. Feed the amount of rough age indicated above. A more elaborate combination consists of a mixture of 300 pounds of corrt or corn and cob meal, 250 pounds of oats, 100 pounds of cotton seed meal and 100 pounds of brand. This mixture would be better adapted for horses and mules which are not in the best physical con dition or which have been suffering from indigestion. Feed at the rate of about fifteen pounds per day. When feeding beef cattle cottonseed meal and hulls may be combined in the proportion of one to five. If hulls are not used as the roughage feed as much of shredded corn stover or mixed hay as the animals will eat up clean. For dairy cows feed one pound of cotton seed meal to about four pounds of hulls. Where it is desired to make a mixture for dairy cattle, equal amounts of cot tonseed meal and corn or corn and cob meal be used. For beef cattle it is not essential that any corn meal be fed ex cept towards the end of the feeding pjeriod when one-third of the ration may consist of corn or corn and cob meal. It is not necessary to feed the corn more than thirty to sixty days. FARMING ON A TWO-HOHSE BtkSIS C. J. I*.. Opelika, Ala., writes: I am a one-liorse farmer, and am thinking of buy ing another mule, but labor is very scarce here. Po you think I could use a two-horse riding cultivator to advantage? Could I prepare my land as well with an Oliver or a disk as well as I <-ould with a Boy Dixie? Any information as to the best methods of farming will .be appreciated. From my point of view it is desirable that we Increase power in the collar. In other words, the greatest defect in our present agricultural practice lies in the fact that we are attempting to do too much with one mule or one horse. Whenever we get on a two-horse basis we increase our agricultural efficiency fifty per cent. There never was a time in the history of agriculture when an in crease of mule power was more needed than now, due to the scarcity of hand labor. If we are to provide anything like the amount of food crops essential to enable us to win the war we must in crease our use of work stock and multi- , ply and enlarge the type of implements : i used on our farms. We cultivate prac- ' I tlcally all our crops here at the college ; | with two horse cultivators. We use a . heavy turning plow which requires from j two to four mules to operate it. Gang j plows can be handled to great advantage > in face of the present scarcity of la- , bor. Our experience leads us to believe ; | that deep and thoorugh cultivation of the soil is the most satisfactory means < of maintaining and increasing satisfac- I tory crop yields. I do not think you can j stir your land as satisfactorily with a Boy Dixie as you can with a two horse plow. We believe by purchasing another mule you should be able to produce cot ton and other essential food crops and at , the same time maintain an adequate ; I output from your land with a smaller supply of hand labor than we have pre- I viously considered it advisable or ne- ■ cessary to use in the south. • • . TREATING LAMENESS IN A PONY R. E. VV.. Tiger, Ga., writes; I have a pony that is lame in her hind leg. She was >ame when she came in from pasture, ond only touches the toe to the ground. It is not swollen, and cannot tell in which joint the trouble is. Would like to know what to do for her. Lameness may be due to a variety of causes. Hence, it is very difficult to I diagnose the exact cause of trouble ol : this character. From what you say i however, it appears that your pony is ' most likely suffering from an attack Os , what is known as “laminitls.” This is I inflammation of the sensitive laminar i or plates of the foot. It occurs in the i front feet and when it becomes wel' established is practically incurable. This I trouble is generally met with in horses ( that are good travelers and is more i commonly met with in light rather than j heavy horses. The trouble comes on j gradually and often without apparent I cause. When the ease is well developed the horse points the affected foot out when standing. There is not much in- 1 flainmatlon, though the horse in most ' instances does not bend the Joint a: ' much as usual and hence there is a tendency to di gthe toe down into the ground. There is often decided lame ness which does not disappear to any extent b ydriving, and may get worse. In the early stages of this trouble remove the shoe and poultice the foot, giving plenty of rest. When a case be comes well established there is nothing to do save perform the surgical opera tion known as “neurotomy” or common ly called “nerving.” This, of course, should only be undertaken by a compe tent veterinarian.
