THE PX) DU CT ION OF PEEISHABLES
nr 1918
There is naturally much concern
among truckers and fruit growers as to
what the prospects may be for dis
posing of their crops to advantage in
Ifklß. The congestion of the railroads
and the difficulties of transportation
generally have led many to believe that
the prospects for disposing of their
crops profitably are not good. Os course,
it is difficult to prognosticate the situa
tion which will have developed later
on in the year, but in so far as the
high officials of the food administration
can now foresee or determine there is
every reason to believe that as good
facilities for handling and distributing
truck and fruit crops will be available
this year as in previous years. There
has been no diminution in the supply
of refrigerator cars, and the food ad-
IMt A I LAIN I A btMi-wtfcKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1918.
> ministration at Washington wishes the
farmers, truckers and fruit growers of
the country to be informed of this
’ fact, and assured that in so far as is hu-
* manly possible every effort will be
made to aid them in marketing their
i crops satisfactorily the present season,
t To this end the energies of the food
administration will be bent toward pro
t viding an adequate supply of refriger
ator cars, and in co-operation with the
, bureau of markets undertaking to dis
. tribute perishable products as uniform-
• ly throughout the country as possible in
> order that there may be no glut at
i any one season and fair and remunera
i tive prices maintaied for the producers
I of perishables throughout the United
■ States. This announcement is a very
> important one and should set at rest
. the fears of those who have been de
bating as to whether they should plant
truck crops during the present year
and spray and care for their fruit plan
tations as carefully as in the past.
It is now more generally and clearly
recognized than ever before that fruits
and vegetables are an important and
essential part of the human dietary,
and in view of the necessity of saving
meat, fats and other concentrated prod
ucts for shipment abroad, it is both
necessary and desirable that our own
people eat a larger proportion of fruits
and vegetables. By doing so they will
not only supply the system with desir
able mineral salts, but a larger propor
tion of nourishment than fruits and
vegetables are supposed to contain. Our
people can cut down their consumption
of fat and of protein in the form of
le£n meat with material advantage and
substitute therefor larger quantities of
perishables. In this way they will nan
only be kept in good physical condition,
but a great waste of essential foods
will be prevented.
Every individual should therefore un
dertake even on a city lot to produce as
much of the perishables as possible and
utilize them for the benefit of his own
family, canning and preserving the sur
plus for future use. Every fruit tree
should be sprayed and pruned that the
largest supply of fruit may be made
available, not only for the land owner,
but for public consumption as well. The
intensive cultivation of all sorts of
truck crops, such as lettuce, spinach,
kale, tomatoes, radishes, beans, peas’,
beets, tomatoes and corn should be un
dertaken in order that our markets may
be adequately supplied with food just
as essential and necessary as meat,
bread and potatoes. There is an idea,
for instance, that there has been a very
large sweet and Irish potato cropfcrown
in the United States, and that the de
mand for spring Irish potatoes, for ex
ample, will be small and the price un
satisfactory. There is no reason to be
lieve that this conclusion is well found
ed. In fact, if Irish potatoes are ma
tured so as to place them on the market
relatively early, and if they are proper
ly graded, and sorted and standardized
before shipment is made, there is every
reason to believe that they will be in
good demand, and that the production of
this crop y will return a satisfactory
profit to the land owner. The severe and
continued freezes of the present winter
have destroyed great areas of truck
crops along the Gulf coast. Even ir the
weather moderates much of this land
will have to be replanted; hence greens
and early vegetables are likely to be
scarce and late in reaching the market
the present year. It will take a special
effort to overcome the damage and lose
entailed by the freezes an dto again fill
our storage warehouses wtih truck
I products suited to the requirements of
! the retail trade.
Food has now become a much more
important factor in the war situation
than it was six months ago; hence we
should make a special effort to grow an
abundance of the crops in question the
i present spring and summer. Even if
high prices are not obtained, it would
; still be a patriotic duty and a thorough
l ly desirable thing to grow truck crops
ion an extensive basis. People who wish I
j to be assured of large profits at this
I time are not looking at the question of
! food from the proper point of view. It
is not a question just at this time of
what we have or what we can get for
i it; it is more a question of what we
; must do in order that the war may be
, won quickly and decisively and that all
. our vested rights and privileges may be
' preserved and used for ourselves and
our children. While no true American
j believes that Germany will win the
i war, it is not inappropriate at times to
consider what would be the result and
the condition if she should win. When
ever we do this it will give us a new
patriotic view point of our duty towards
our country and ourselevs at this time,
because it must be evident to every
right thinking man that if Germany
should succeed our vested rights and
interests would be seriously endanger
ed. Therefore, in the consideration of
any policy which shall actuate our pro
ducers at this time, it is both their priv
ilege and their duty to view this ques
tion from every angle and do what is
for the best interests of the country a
a whole even though it may cause some
; sacrifice on their part.
As to the attitude of the food admin
istration towards perishables, a word
may not be out of place at this time.
No attempt hag been made to regulate
or stabilize the price of crops of this
character. The reasons for this are not
i difficult to understand and appreciate
'if one will stop long enough to study
the situation a few minutes from an
i economic point of view. The produc
j tion of all vegetables and fruits is a
highly specialized business. It is there
fore a rather uncertain business. It
costs a great deal to produce special
crops because of the large amount of
fertilizer which must be used, the very
considerable amount of labor employed
I and the 4iigh cost incident to transpor
' tation and distribution through refrig
i erator cars or cold storage plants. Re
alizing the essential nature of industries
| of this class, the food administration Is
| not disposed, therefore, to put any lim
i itation on the sale price of crops of
this character because while a truck
' grower might make a good profit on
Irish potatoes, every other crop he
! grows that year may be raised at a
, loss or at only a slight gain oyer the
1 expense involved. It is also clear that
the commission merchants handling
produce of this kind are engaged in one
of the most unstable and uncertain bust
nesses in this country. Investigations
reveal the fact that a commission mer
! chant may often do business at a loss
for several months of the year when his
volume of business is unusually good
and his sales rapid and uniform. It is
also important to remember that the
percentage of loss in handling perish
ables is very great indeed, due to the |
readiness with which most vegetables j
and fruit decay, to unavoidable delays
in transit, to improper packing and ,
precooling of the cars used, and to care
less handling and exposure to the air |
after being taken from refrigerator cars j
or cold storage plants. Therefore, a
much larger apparent margin of profit !
is necessary in this business than in al- !
most any other industry, and yet in ,
spite of this considerable apparent inar- I
gin, it is quite possible for a firm to do
business at a loss.
One of the reasons why the grower
thinks he is discriminated against and
does not receive a fair price for his
products lies in the fact that he does
not pack them according to the stand- '
ards set up by the bureau of markets. A :
great many of the contaners used are I
flimsy and break up under handling. !
There is no use in sending inferior, dam- I
aged on diseased fruit or vegetables of i
any kind to market under the impression
that because they are put in refrigera
tor cars they will reach their destina- ’
tion in good condition. If producers ;
will grade and pack their products prop- ;
erly, they will find their returns much
more satisfactory.
From the foreging it should not be j
concluded that the food administration
will take its hand off all perishables and
allow the market to control, or specula
tion. hoarding and other policies inim
’ical to the welfare of either producer or
consumer to be practiced by the middle- i
man. At the same time an effort will ■
be made to see that justice be done in !
so far as is humanly possible to all |
concerned in the production, handling I
and consumption of perishables.

VET BRANS AND PEANUTS
H. G., Albany, (4a., writes: Please let me
know if velvet brun meal anil peanut, meat
arc as desirable for fertilizer as cottonseed
meal. I would like to know the analysis
of each.
A ton of cottonseed meal containing
7 per cent of ammonia will contain ap
proximately 120 pounds of nitrogen,
about 53 pounds of phosphoric acid and
36 pounds of potash. A ton of velevt
bean meal from which the hulls have
been excluded will contain 80 pounds of
nitrogen, 20 pounds phosphoric acid and
34 pounds potash. A ton of peanut
meal including the hulls will contain 65
pounds nitrogen, 15.4 pounds phosphor
ic acid and 12.8 pounds potash. You
will thus see that a ton of cottonseed
meal contains almost as much ni
trogen, three and a half times as much
phosphoric acid and three times as much
potash as a ton of peanuts when the
hulls are included. A ton of velvet
beans from which the hulls have been
excluded contains forty pounds less ni
trogen, 33 pounds less phosphoric acid
and two pounds less potash than a ton
of cottonsed meal of the grade men
tioned. If the hulls are Included in the
velvet beans the difference in the nitro
gen content would be much greater. In
other words, a ton of velvet beans in
cluding the hulls only contains about
half as much nitrogen as a ton of 7
per cent ammonia meal. These facts
should enable you to determine the ap
proximate relative value of the different
consentrates mentioned for feeding pur
poses and to purchase and utilize them
on a proper economical basis. You wnll
see. of course, that a considerable dif
ferential for fertilizing purposes alone
should prevail between velvet beifn meal
and peanut meal as compared with 7
per cent cottonseed meal for fertilizing
purposes.
NOTES ON THE CULTIVATION OF
PEANUTS
A correspondent writes: What soil is best
suited to peanuts, and how should they be i
cultivated? How should they be planted
and cultivated? How many are required
per acre, and when is the best tiime to
plant?
The best soil to select for peanuts is
a sandy loam. A loose friable soil
should be selected because it is easier
for the pegs from which the pods will
develop to enter the land. The soil
should be limed, preferably at the rate
of one ton per acre, using the raw crush
ed rock for this purpose. The lime may
be applied at any time and should be
scattered over the top of the ground
and harrowed in. Later on fertilize with
300 to 500 pounds of acid phosphate. . ITI L
normal times potash should be used; but
its cost is so great that its application
cannot be advised at present. The land (
should be made clean for this crop. Corn
or cotton land may be used for peanuts
Plow the soil thoroughly and then har
row so as to develop a good tilth. ,
Peanuts may be planted on the level
or on ridges. Most people prefer to plant
on a low ridge. These ridges are made
by means of a turn plow. Cultivators
with suitable points may be used for the
same purpose. Before planting, the
ridges should be flattened out by means
of a weeder or a spike tooth harrow. The
seed bed should be fairly firm. The seed
may be sown with a planter, which
opens the furrow, drops the seed and

The distance between the rows varies
In case of Spanish peanuts 30 inches

be allowed. The hills should be 12 to
18 inches apart in the row. As a rule.
‘ two peas should be dropped in each hill,

and costly process.
The time of planting varies, but in
the southern part of the state April is
generally considered the best month,
though, of course, peanuts, may be plant

Which Is Best for Fertilizer Vslvst
Beans or Cotton Seed Meal?
J. E. T„ Blythe, Ga., writes: Please ad
vise n>p what fertilizer properties there
would be in velvet beans and the hulls
ground together to use wtlb acid as cotton
seed meal is used.
A fairly good fertilizer may be made
from velvet beans ground either with
or without the hulls. When the beans
are ground without the hulls a ton will
be found to contain about 80 pounds of
nitrogen, 20 pounds phosporic acid, and
34 pounds of potash. If the hulls are
included a ton will contain about 57
pounds nitrogen, 16 pounds of phos
phor! acid, and 34.5 pounds of potash.
The incorporation of the hulls, there
fore, reduces the nitrogen quite mate
rially, but will not affect the other con
stituents to any appreciable extent. A
mixture of 1,000 pounds of 16 per cent
acid with 1,300 pounds of beans without
the hulls will result in a mixture, each
ton of which would contain 40 pounds of
nitrogen, 170 pounds pnosphoric acid,
and 17 pounds of potash. This would
represent a formula containing 25 per
cent nitrogen, 8.5 per cent phosphorie
acid, and about .75 per cent potash. If
the velvet beans containing • the hulls
were used the percentage of nitrogen
would be reduced considerably more. It
will be seen that this formula, even
when made up with beans from which
the hulls have been excluded, will b®
low in nitrogen. In most Georgia soils
a formula containing at least 3 per cent
of this element is desirable, also a fairly
satisfactory amount of phosphoric acid
and, of course, potash will be valuable,
though lower than the amount which
we would try to use under normal con
ditions. Possibly velvet beans, with or
without the hulls, at the?r present price
provide plant food constituents some
what near the same relative cost as cot
tonseed meal. There is no reason why
this material should not be used for fer
tilizing purposes other than the objec
tion of applying an animal food directly
to the soil without first using it for
feeding purposes.

The Food and Fertilizer Value of Feanu x
Meal
F. E. F.. Colnmbufl, Ga., writes: Please
give me some information regarding the
analysis and availability of peanut meal.
We presume from your letter that you
wish the food and fertilizer value of
peanut meal. Practically all of the pea
nut meal in Georgia, in so far as we are
informed at present, contains the hull
and while some variation In composition
will no doubt be met with In different
samples, the figures presented below i
may be taken as fairly representative of
the product found on our markets.
One hundred pounds of this peanut
meal, including the hull, contain approx
imately 18.4 pounds of digestible pro
tein, 15.3 pounds of digestible carbohy
drates, and 32.6 pouna» of fat. This
would be classed as one of the protein
feeds running relaitvely high in this im
portant and essestial element. You will
observe that it also runs very high in
fat, outranking in this particular ele
ment and other feed on the market. It
Is a very valuable feed, therefore, for
combining with corn for the mainten
ance of all classes of stock.
Peanut meal Is also relatively rich
in plant constituents, particularly ni
trogen. A ton of it contains about
65.2 pounds of nitrogen, 15.2 pounds of
phosphoric acid, and 12 8 pounds of
potash. It is not so valuable for fer
tilizing purposes as velvet bean meal,
which contains about the same amount
of nitrogen but a considerably larger
proportion of phosphoric acid and pot
ash.
Peanut meal is such a valuable ani
mal food, and it is adapted for use un
der such a wide range of conditions that
we believe it should always be fed. Os
course, this *ls true of velvet beans
and cottonseed meal as well, but if the
hree were to be used for fertilizers we
think the largest return in proportion,
by reason of its composition, would
come from cottonseed meal, next from
velvet bean meal and last from peanut
meal. We cite these facts for your in
formation and advice and hope they
provide the data you wish concerning
this Important concentrate.
SKIN DIS east: in mules
C. K.. Joelton, Tenn., writes: Every
spring my mule has some kind of a skin
disease. Bumps come on him and he nibs
and bites them until they are raw anil
bleeding, and then scabs form. He is a
fine fat mule in every other respect. Some
people have told me that he had bad blood
and will always have skin disease. Can
you suggest a remedy?
It is always difficult to diagnose a
disease from a description such as you
have given but I judge your mule is suffer
ing from a condition known as "sum
mer sores.” Technical names for this
truoble are dermalite granulosa. or
boils. This trouble is witnessed in cer
tain animals and generally is met dur
ing warm weather. It has been traced
to the presence in the outer skin of a
parasite which Is very small and known
as Filiaria irritans. The sores which
this parasite cause are often as small
as a millet seed but may become even
an inch in diameter. The average size
is about that of a pea. While they
may occur at any point they are more
likely to be found on the neck and the
lower part of the limbs. They are
frequently observed wherever the har
ness presses against the body. These
sores cause intense itching and so great
ly does it distress the animal that it
causes the victim to rub and bite the af
fected parts until extensive raw sur
faces are often developed. The surface
of the sore is covered by a brownish
red, soft, pulpv material with cracks or
furrows which are filled with serous
pus. These sores are very obstinate and
resist treatment for months In the sum
mer. They often appear to break out
after an apparent recovery has been
made. As a rule the trouble subsides
in winter, probably due to the cold and
comparative bloodlessness of the skin.
Treatment Is rather difficult. It con
sists first in a cool place and showering
the surface with cold water. The para
sites may be destroyed by rubbing the
surface of the wound with iodiform and
covering it with a layer of collodion,
and repeating the applications every
twenty-four hours for fifteen days. It
is an advantage to pour ether or chloro
form on cotton or wool and apply it
to the sores for two minutes before
painting them with colodion, sthrd hrd
painting them with collodion. Thistreat
ment. if persisted in, should prove ef
fective.

I Buy Your Tractor Now
*TpHE tractor is a real help to American
A farmers now. It is fast taking over all
the heavy farm power work.
Kerosene is the best, as it certainly is the cheapest
tractor fuel. Therefore all our tractors, International, Mogul
and Titan, are designed, built, and guaranteed to operate
successfully on this cheap, plentiful fuel. I I
We pay particular attention to these three essential
features: That our tractors shall operate on the cheapest
fuel farmers can buy; that they shall be so simple that any
■ farmer can learn to handle them; and that they shall do
• enough good work in the field and at the Dei? to more than
pay for themselves.
On this basis we solicit your orders for Mogul 10-20,
, Titan 10-20 and International 15-30 kerosene tractors.
It will be difficult for us to furnish your tractor as soon as
you want it. The demand is hard to keep up with and ship
ping facilities are very much handicapped. Send for our
catalogues now, make vour decision, and send in your order
as soon as you can. Invest in an International Harvester
guaranteed kerosene tractor in time for tiie spring plowing.
