Soule, president State A<rl eultural College, Athens. Ga. Enoouraclng the Mortgage Idftor For many years the great state of Kamt&s was cursed with debL To this affliction was added a series of bad crop years and the outlook was indeed gloomy. At this time, as in all in stances when depression and pessimism « has been rampant for a period, a silver lining appeared to the cloud which op pressed the Kansas farmer. This was ■ due to the discovery of the fact that bogs could be produced in that state in great abundance and at a reasonable I cost, and hence could be sold to advan tage. The Industry of raising hogs, ■ therefore, made rapid progress, and with such amazing success in a financial way that the hog presently came to be known to the Kansan as the mortgage lifter. There is no reason why he should not perform the equally important and sta isfactory service in the state of Georgia now that a crisis is upon the farmers and they find it necessary to reduce their cotton acreage and turn their at tention to the production of other crops which can be disposed of to advantage I through their consumption by animals. No state is blesesd with grfeater faclli | ties for the economic production of hogs than Georgia. This is due to climatic and soil conditions which make it possi ble to grow not less than twenty crops which can be grazed at some season of the year to advantage by hogs. In or der to make a success of raising hogs on grazing crops, thd farmer must also ex ercise a considerable degree of fore thought and so adjust his cropping sys tem as to provide a succession of feed at nearly all seasons of the year. He must also"raise a standard grade of hogs such as the marnet demands and must undertake to develop them to a weight which is aceptable to those purchasing them. To this end he must not only provide grazing crops, but he must see that he has supplemental grain avail* • able to feed his animals. Naturally, the cheap way of producing pork in the south is te iBPWB as many of the pigs as possible JSfranr w» ‘he spring when suc- I culent feeds are availabfe. They should then be carried through the summer and sold off early in the fall. When tyindled tn this way they will naturally gather most of their own feed, can be developed on a minimum amount of grain and dis posed of before cold weather approaches, which necessitates more or less stall feeding on expensive concentrates, if the farmer will erect shelters, which need not be costly, open to the south, he can easily and cheaply provide adequate quarters for a considerable number of hogs and will have no difficulty in keep ing his premises in a satisfactory condl- I tion. His hog house should be so ar ranged that it will be convenient to a plentiful supply of water and accessible to sod fields which will be ranged on more or less during the winter time and to woodlands which will provide the necessary shade and a considerable amount of food as well during the sum mer and autumn. The hog houses should be located on high ground so they will ’ drain welt Sanitation is of the utmost Importance in dealing with this class of ! stock. They should also be treated with preventive serum as insurance against cholera While this will cost something, it is a wise business policy on the part of the farmer. The fact that our county agents id Georgia last year treated near ly 154.000 head of hogs shows how wide spread cholera is in the state and how dangerous a disease it is likely to be come once it obtains a foothold in the community, as it has been prevented from doing in hundreds of cases through the activity of the county agent. The question is often asked as to which breed should be selected for pro duction in Georgia. This is a matter of ' minor importance provided good indirid -1 uala are secured High-grades and pure- I breds should be raised. It is very desir able that the animals placed on the market from one community be uniform in size, color, quality, degree of maturi ty and finish. They will certainly sell to better advantage under such condi tions. Some or all of the following crops can b e m>wn to advantage and used for i-raving purposes at different seasons of the year. For spring grazing the fol lowing crops may be used: I'anada field peas and Burt oats sown about January 15 at the rate of a bushel and a half of the former and a bushel of the latter.

Go-, write*: Can a work mule be fed on cottonseed meal and > I hulls’ t If situated as you are we would not - feed a work mule on cottonseed meal and hulls. This would make too concentrat ed a ration for this class of live stock. 1 It would be a great deal better for you -1 to mix the cottonseed meal with corn , and cob meal. A good proportion in 1 which to combine these two materials • would be 600 pounds of corn and cob . meal with 100 pounds of cottonseed t meal. If you have oats available you , might cut the corn down to say 300 or , 400 pounds and use say 50 pounds of , oats and 100 pounds of cottonseed meal • This concentrated ration should be fed t at the rate of 12 to 15 pounds per 1,- , 000 pounds of live weight. This is the ■ necessary amount of food to be fed in t 24 hours. The grain ration should be • fed tn two equal amounts night and • morning, though some may be fed at i noon. Your mule should also have a . varied ration of roughage in which some green feed is made available. Cot- , tonseed hulls is not a satisfactory ra tion- for mules, as It is not concentrat ed enough. They can, of course, be , fed with advantage to beef and dairy cattle. Some mixed hay will be found much better as a roughage for mules. It should be clean and bright ad free . from dust. * ♦ ♦ All Minors Must Comply With tions 8. H. C.. of Griffin. Ga. writes: Some of my cuotomcHi object to my mixing the throe gredee of flour together, as they went their white flour kept separate from the No. 2 and Mo. 3 grades. Will It be all right for me to separate the No. 1 white floor from the other two grades and weigh afi together? | A miller is not authorized any more I to make what is known as white or patent flour such as was produced by all our milles in pre-war times. The j flour extraction required under the pres ent rules and regulations of the f°od ! administration is on a basis of 75 ; pounds of flour out of every l(>0 pounds of wheat. Every consumer of flour is i on exactly the same basis and no ex- I ception is made in this particular in I the interest of the producer or anyone I else. It will be necessary for you to mix enough of your second and third grades of flour, therefore, with the first grade to insure an outturn of not less than 196 pounds of flour from 264 pounds of wheat testing 58 pounds per bushel. As the weight of the wheat per bushel decreases the amount neces sary to produce 196 pounds of flour naturally increases. In other words. with wheat testing 51 pounds per bushel you would be permitted to take about 296 pounds of wheat to produce 196 pounds of flour. You must also return an adequate proportion of shorts and bran to your customers. I trust I have made this matter clear to you. and that if you have through any inadvertance permitted your customers tc take away flour separated into three grades that you will not do so in the future, as it is strictly against the regulations to deliver them anything less than a nour made on the 75 per cent basis and pro duced in the quantity indicated from a given allowance and grade of wheat. * * * These Figs Need Mineral Matter D. D. M., Roaeboru, N. C., writes: I have a sow and six pigs that are lame in their feet and legs. They are about four months old and have been in fine condi tion until lately. I have kept them on a rye pasture all spring. Have also fed them plenty of corn. Would like to have a remedy that will help them. The critical condition of the sows and pigs about which you write is due, in my judgment, to a ‘failure to provide them with an adequate -and a sufficiently di versified ration. I imagine that these bogs liave been too closely confined and possibly kept in quarters that are not' entirely sanitary. Correct this condi tion at once. If they have been kept in a fenced lot, turn them out where they may have an opportunity to range at will ovei a considerable amount of for est land. Provide them with such green feed as may be accessible at this season of the year. Prepare at once a box and fill it with the following mixture: Two pounds pulverized copperas, four pounds sulphur, eight pounds common salt, eight pounds air-slacked lime, one bushel wood ashes and one bushel char coal. Mix these materials together very thoroughly. Keep in a dry place. Next give your sows anything that will act as a purgative. The violent use of medi cine of this character is to be avoided. Then change the ration altogether If you have been feeding corn alone, cut it out for a few days or else combine it with an equal amount of peanut meal or velvet bean meal. In case you cannot obtain these, mix ninety pounds bt corn with ten pounds of digester tankage. Feed all of the grains mentioned in com bination with skim milk. Let the ani mals have what they will eat up clean. Keep feeding troughs in a sanitary con dition. The observance of these regula tions and suggestions should correct the difficulty that you are now experiencing. * * * Grazing Plants Adapted tc Georgia T. B. IT., Stone Mountain, Ga., writea: The farm I have bought has a very poor pasture, and about the only thing like grass there is on it Is like the enclosed sample, but the stock do net care for it. I would like to know what this grass is. What steps shall I take to get an all-year round pasture, especially a winter pasture? What grass or clover is best, and when should it be planted? What fertilizers should I use ? The plant which you sent us appears to be Japanese clover. It was eo badly dried up and shattered when, it reached Athens, of course it is poss'ole to con fuse it with some' hlng else, but we think there is no dcubt about its identifi cation. We are surprised to know that your stock do not care for it, as we have been working assiduously to establish it on th? pastures on the college farm. We have had only a fair measure of success, but our cattle are very fond of it. It is one of the most desirable plants which can be added to a summer grazing area in Georgia. It is, of course, chiefly valuable during the hot weather, as it is sensitive to cold and is therefore cut down by the first frost in autumn. It does not come on very early in the spring. Any one, however, wishing to establish a permanent pasture in this state should encourage Japanese clover by every possible means. It is a legume, as you doubtless know, therefore helps to build up the soil through gathering nitrogen out of the air It adds to the denseness of the sod and increases the variety and nutritive character of the grazing. It combines admirably with Bermuda gross. It has a wide range of adaptability for cultivation in Georgia. When seeded along with burr clover In a Bermuda sod it provides as nearly an all-the-year-round pasture as we can hope to develop in Georgia Burr clover should be seeded immediately, sown at the rate of one or more bushels per acre, scattered over the surface of the ground and harrowed in. This clover does not establish itself quickly, but is one. of the legumes which is adapted for winter grazing. It appears dormant at those seasons of the year when Japanese clover is at its height. Japanese clover should be sown at the rate of seven to eight pounds per acre, harrow It Into the ground and seed only when the season has opened up. As to fertilizer, we would advise the use of about 300 to 500 pounds of acid phosphate scattered over the ground either before or after seeding these crops and harrowed in. This can also be used in the form of finely pulverized rock at the rate of two tons and upward per acre. Apply broadcast and a few days before seeding- any of the legumes mentioned. :|c 4 s yHghting an Infestation of Red Spidex W A B-. Chickamauga. Ga., writes: The leaves on my cotton are specking, looks like rust. The land is new and a heavy crop at pea hay turned under last fall. Tfie land has been making a ba e of cotton to the acre. Any in this matter will be appreciated. Presumably your cotton is attacked by what is known as the red spider. This nest is not uncommonly met with tn va rious parts of the south. In some sea sons Its depredations are much greater than in others. It may do damage to the cotton crop tn a given state, which will run up on a monetary basis of sev - eral hundred thousand dollars in a sin gle season of the year. The insect takes its name from its peculiar color. The females vary in this respect from red to yellow, or occasion ally from dark green to brown. In the south this insect passes the winter on weeds or cultivated plants close to the cotton field where the cotton is planted and when it begins to grow the insect rnigratefl to the plants. One of Its host plants is the violets. Beds containing this flower should be very carefully ex amined. If there are evidences of red spider infestation steps should be im mediately taken to destroy it Various methods of control have been worked out. Wide spacing of the cotton should be followed in areas where red spider Infestation is likely to occur. The surface of the ground should also be kept thoroughly pulverized, as this ren ders migration from plant to plant more difficult. Various spray compounds can be used to advantage. One of the best for this purpose is one pound of arsen ate of soda dissolved in twenty gallons of water. Apply this solution as a spray, being careful to see that all parts of i the plant are properly covered. This is a deadly poison, hence it must be handled with care, and it is of the. ut most importance that the fields to which , it is applied be so protected that ani- I mals cannot obtain access to the poison | plants. In using this spray remember that two applications should be made with an interval of seven or eight days between them.’ It Is possible that your cotton has not been attacked by the red spider, but is suffering from what is known as leaf blight. This is a different thing entire ly, for vi-hieh no practical suggestion j can be made at this time. cpru Crop for South Georgia- I. •• ’ W ' annuli. Go., writes: We ■ .1 <■.' land planted in vartoua i OUR HOUSEHOLD Conduct?*! by LIZZIE O. THOMAS. ’’The top o’the morning to ye!” as our Irish cousins say. I hope that every one of you has entered this fall cam paign against gloom and depression. “Into each life some rain must fall,” and the trouble that has touched all of our hearts since this cruel war began has a tendency to keep us forever in the gloom. But that ia not right. Our Sa viour was "a man of sorrows and ac quainted with grief,” yet He said, “Let not your heart be troubled.” And David cast off his sadness as soon as his child died. Everywhere that I have beei% since I left my home in Alabama, there has been at least one in crepe or a lighter mourning. I do not want to appear heartless, I am not theorizing, when my own brother died I did not wear black. It is not healthy for mind or body. God’s flowers and sunsets and skies pro claim the doctrine of cheerfulness and we must not do less for our felftw— workers in this time of tribulation. Be a lifter, not a leaner, and as the days pass strength and wisdom wiU increase. Tuesday found in Atlanta, and for three days I’ve been seeing things. So many of my friends are actively engag ed in Red Cross, Christian association and all sorts of committees to help the soldiers, the well ones as much as those in the hospitals. Next week 1 hope to tell you of some definite work that 1 want you to help in. for I have traveled around with my ears and eyes open. Did you know that nut shells and peach stones are used in making gas masks? Don’t ask me how in the world, for Ido not know. But there are bar rels in the lobbies and entrances of some of the big stores here with the re quest that peach stones and nut shells be thrown in there to help make gas masks for the soldiers. I find the rich women quite as bus> ip actual work as the poor ones, and their cars are in daily service. I rode to the hospital at McPherson with a lady who gives three days in every week to the sick soldiers. She writes their letters and reads to them. That is a very responsible position, and such a woman must b'e well poised, mentally and spiritually; must Be indorsed by the highest authorities and be a wom an able to meet all sorts of people with a cordial manner. Most convalescents look on the gloomy side of life and the things that some of them imagine are as far from the truth as the north and south poles are apart. When I lived tn Atlanta I saw the breakfasts brought some people tn hospitals and they wera daintier, better cooked and more whole some than what they had at home, yet there were all sorts of complaints. These sick and wounded soldiers are human, they did not get perfect be cause they put on the uniform, and those same men when in the trenches were heroic; but illness has sapped the nerves, the woman who reads to them must know how to meet conditions and help the boys to get their viewpoint ad justed. She must also be able to write the letters with the least sensation possible. One man now laughs and tells how many "scares” he put in a letter to his sweetheart because he said she enjoyed “thrills.” The censor was also sensible and that letter contained only the facts that he is well and busy when she received it. I was on the train with a war-bride. She married last March and her husband is going to France at an early date. She says she was raised close to her husband's farm and they always expected to marry some day. But when the prospect of war loomed up she saw that his mother needed a daughter and she married right away. They are not rich people, but she is thrifty and when he was put in a can teen in a southern camp she decided to make him a visit. She got work in a ten-cent store and paid her expenses two weeks. I admire people who get busy and do things. There are women.* moping at home who might do as this girl did, get a vacation and at. the same time make glad the heart of some ab , sent one. For Mercy’s sake, don’t sigh and wear a long face! Did you see the page of smiles in a recent magazine? German propaganda lurks in every sigh. It takes courage to standfn in the trenches, to scout around. to drive the am bulance. to work as the Salvation Arm?' lassies do when they take coffee and doughnuts to the men brought to the rear, and the same sort of courage is needed by the women at home. My mother is knitting for the soldiers, and even on the train I saw women knit ting. Can’t you do your bit? If you can do no more you can take a glass of your best jelly to the Red Cross nearest yon and let them sell it. or send it to some hospital. T did not Intend to write to you along this line at this time, but “out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh," hence these lines. All of us cannot knit, nor visit the sick, nor work for the War Savings Stamps, but every crop* which will be harvested by fall. We desire to plant this land in a cover crop •which will yield the maximum amount of forage at the earliest possible time next spring so that we can plant all the land In corn for silage and If possible raise another crop before next fall. Kindly advise us what to plant, either singly or in combina tion. Situated as you are we should proceed as follows: Place this land in a combination crop of rye, vetch and clover. There is no objection to your adding oats. Our plan here at the college has been to pro vide a small amount of green feed for early spring use through the combina tion of various cereals that will grow during the winter. A section is gener ally given over to rye, vetch and crim son clover, ahother to oats, vetch and crimson clover and a thfrd to wheat, vetch and crimson clover. These ce reals, as you know, mature somewhat in succession. This affords a better chance to handle these combination crops in succession, and also affords us green feed for a longer period of time. It also has the advantage of permitting re- ! planting of the different sections in suc cession rather than all at once. If we have more of any of these crops than we can use, they make excellent hay when cut at the right time and properly handled cured, or any surplus can be • run Into the silo and made into an excel lent quality of succulent feed. Our plan has been to sow about a bushel and a peck of any of the above-named cereals with ten to twenty pounds of vetch and an equal amount of crimson clover seed. Our experience has demonstrated the t wisdom of early planting. It is desir able in this section of the state to get rye started, if possible, by the first of i September, and pats and vetch should, as a rule, be planted by November 1. You probably can plant thirty days later in the southern part of Georgia, than in the northern section. Early planting, however, generally insures your ability to secure the land for a second crop sooner than would otherwise be practi cable. It has been our practice to use about 300 pounds of acid phosphate un der crops of this character, and about 100 pounds of some organic carrier of nitrogen such as cottonseed meal. The application of five tons of well-rotted manure would he very helpful to crops of the charsi ter mentioned. On a dairy .'arm you shoa’ri p'enly of it avail able for usis of -racter indicated.

I have lived to remember a cold snap, .on the third Sunday in September, In 1856, which happened sixty years ago. We had a terrible rain storm on Friday be fore —heavy rail, terrific thunder and lightning. The storm caught me at a neighbor’s house three miles off and I had left my baby girl at home. She was three months old. Wheh I finally reached home an hour after dark, I found our house packed full of people, delegates to a big primi tive Baptist association, to convene on Saturday, and to have foot-wash ing and communion. The church was eight miles off. They stopped at our house when the storm overtook them. The house had to be covered with pallets, to provide sleeping places for the people. Next morning the wind was high and growing cold. By Sunday morning there was a killing frost. Everything was killed, forest, fields and gardens. We had large peach orchards those days. We had a late Indian peach tree inside the garden, which garden cover ed a measured acre. On Sunday morning those Indian peaches, just ripe, were frozen as bard as rocks. All the late roasting ears, tomatoes, peppers, late beans were kill ed black as my shoes. Never shall I forget that incident. It occurred on the third Sunday in September, sixty years ago. In September, 1863 About this time of the year in the fateful days of the Confederacy, the battle of Chickamauga was fought. Gen eraal Bragg commanding the Confeder ates and General Thomas the Federate. The Confederates won in the contest and the Federal troops went into winter quarters at Chattanooga. General Bragg rested his army about Dalton. I Intend to get tdgether the full story of Chattanooga as T experienced the re sults and give them to Semi-Weekly readers next week. one of us can pray, and be cheerful and know in our hearts that— “ God's in the heavens” and all wifi be right with the world. All of us can conserve the food supply and can also be honest with our neigh bors. We must be careful at all times not to grind the face of the poor, nor let high prices get us so much enthused with the selling side of life that we charge too much for life’s necessities, and forget to cast any bread upon the waters. As well as I can see into the future the next time that I write I will be in north Alabama. The little nieces said that they couldn’t see why we did not move to Florida. The friends here de clare that this te the place for both of us. I’ve had a nice visit, my friend.-- have done everything to make this a Jubilee week but, east or west, home is best, be that home in city or hamlet. Faithfully'yours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS.
