HEAT OF OUR BODIES.
To Kp It Up ir Why W Havo to
Consume 80 Much Food.
The amount of food we have to
oat to get the energy to move and
work with our liuiiiU and brains is
t>o sjnull that if that were the only
nei t'Kßity one could live on about I
cent a week. The real reason lor
the eating wo have to do, which
liberates so much energy, is to
maintain the heat of the body. I lie
body is usually hotter than the sur
rounding air and is constantly los
ing energy in the air. It is just
like a stove being stoked and run
all the time. If it hud been de
creed by nature that the body
should he maintained at a much
higher temperature than its present
fIH 2-5 degrees we should have to
he eating practically all the time.
Such is actually the ease with
most birds. They are eating near
ly all the time because they have to.
Their body temperature is about
120 degrees, a temperature which
the human body as at present con
stituted could not stand. Not only
is this the ease with birds, but they
also lose more bout in proportion
than do human beings, on account
of their surface imposed.
A hot body radiates (loses) heat
in proportion to the surface on the
outside. Now the surface of a body
varies as the square of its dimen
sion, while the weight of I lie body
varies as the cube. Take two birds,
one weighing one pound, the other
weighing eight pounds. I’he one
weighing eight pounds is twice a
long as the other one, hut Ito lias
four times as much surface and
weighs eight times ns much. So il
the little bird has ten square inclics
of surface then the big one,would
have forty square indies of surface.
The little one would have only a
pound ni body to generate heat for
ten square bielies, while the big one
would have two pounds of body to
generate heat for ten square inches
(forty square inches to eight
pounds). So small birds will he
found b eat more in proportion to
their size than large birds, and
large birds more than men.
A baby has to eat a great deal
more in proportion than an adult.

Home Raised Foods Bulwark of
Europe—Souths Present Crying Need
Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
To a Ceoi-gian visiting Europe, that
which stands out paramount In agri
culture, is the absolutely complete util
ization of land In producing food sup
plies, not one, nor a few kinds of
food for each farm, but as complete
a circle of food-requirements as It is
possible to raise.
What is the result in times of war?
There is a food supply at home.
What would happen in the South
should an enemy cut Its lines of com
munication with food supplies ?
Where would an enemy first attack
and invade this country If not tile
South, where food supplies might be
cut off?
What has actually happened in the
South with war thousands of mIU -
away? The cotton market largely de
stroyed; prices of cotton ruinous; the
South with paralyzed purchasing pow
er; food prices soaring; buying power
falling; to buy food a necessity. Cer
tainly a gloomy predicament, yet one
from which It is extricating Itself
with far less of calamity than might
be expected, chiefly because of the
sympathetic assistance of the more
fortunate people of the .South and of
the nation as a whole.
What Is the lesson to be learned
from this terrific blow? Certainly not
Pruning Grapes
And Scuppernongs
T. 11. McHatton, Professor of Horti
culture, Georgia Stato College of Ag
rlcultu re.
Most plants can be pruned at any
season of the year. Grapes and
scuppernongs, however, will succumb
tf pruned during the growing season.
Tiio grape vine Is so porous that
when pruned during ttie growing sea
son the sap is pumped out of the
vine and. as we commonly say, "The
plant bleeds to death."
The grapes and scuppernongs bear
fruit on last year’s shoots, so if al
lowed to grow and bear as they will,
the fruit wood gets farther and far
ther away from the main plant each
year anil lias a tendency to overbear.
The fruit does not seem to lie as well
nourished as when closer to the
source of food supply. For this rea
son the general principle in pruning
grapes should bo to cut back the
canes that grow this year, leaving
only from 2 to ft buds. These buds
will produce a like number of shoots
that will bear fruit next season. A
grape vine that has as many as 20
Loariug shoots should produce a
heavy orop of fruit.
fending Experts Out To Farmers
To Co-Operate and Assist
Prea. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
Under the Smith-Lever bill and
through co-operation with the United
State:. Department of Agriculture, the
State College of Agriculture has been
able to add largely to its field force
in Georgia this year.
Two men have been assigned to tick
free territory to assist farmers tn beef
production by solving the problems
of h eeding, feeding and marketing.
One new mat is been obtained to
devote his eni time to promote co
operative enterprises In stock breed
ing in various lines and to assist in
Individual initiative to the same end,
devoting himself especially to tick in
fested territory.
An addition has been made to the
force in field dairy work to meet the
rapidly increasing demands for serv
ice in tilts line in Georgia, giving
practically the entire time of two men
in the field. Ttie work in hog chol
era prevention and eradication is to
be promoted by anew field worker,,
an experienced veterinarian, who will
demonsttate the use of serum and ed
ucate tlie farmers as to* its advan
tages.
In helping to solve the poultry
been employed to give his entire time,
been employed to give liis entir time

Dormant Spraying
Of Fruit Trees
T. H. Mellatton, Professor of Horti
culture. Georgia State College of
Agriculture.
The apple and peach orchards of
Georein are very generally infested
w ith San Jose scale and should be
sprayed thoroughly with lime-sulphur
solution some time during the fall
and winter. This application should
have what is called the “dormant
strength.” Where the Infestation is
marked two applications should be
made. If not infested it is worth
while to spray the trees once to
cleanse them and prevent attacks.
To make lime-sulphur solution;
take 40 lbs. unslaked lime, SO lbs. sul
phur. 50 gallons of water. Slake the
lime and mix with the sulphur, and
put the mixture in the 50 gallons of
water and boll 50 to 60 minutes.
To make ready for application as
a spray, dilute with water according
to the degree beaume shown. If the
mixture shows 35 degrees beaume 9
gallons of water can be added for San
Jcm scale spray.

dependence upon charity, magnificent
as that has been, but rather the les
son of self-respecting independence
which can be obtained only by follow
ing the example of Europe in creating
home supplies as far as possible, for
every need and every emergency; to
learn to raise more and buy less; to
give consideration first to food and to
lint afterwards.
With every agency in it3 power, the
College of Agriculture is trying to co
operate with, demonstrate, teach and
preach to farmers the diversification
of crops. It is busy with farm demon
stration agents, boys’ corn clubs, girls’
tanning clubs, pig clubs, poultry
c'ubs. farmers’ institutes, extension
schools, field agents working in ani
mal husbandry, In poultry and In ce
real crops; with exhibitions at fairs,
bulletins, correspondence and in every
other way possible, in teaching, urg
ing and helping the farmers of Geor
gia to get into other lines of agri
culture than merely growing cotton.
Those who want practical informs
tion about getting started into other
agricultural work than they have been
pursuing, are welcomed to write the
College, or better stiii, take a short
course.
It has been generally supposed
that scuppernong vines will not bear
pruning, but this is not so. They
should be treated similarly to ordi
nary grape vines, only they should
he allowed to retain more bearing
shoots.
It is well t prune grapes before
Christmas, though the ordinary grape
vines could be pruned as late as Jan
uary. Scuppernongs must be pruned
before Christmas, otherwise they will
bleed seriously. Should it happen
that a scuppernong vine becomes
broken or injured and begins to bleed
badly, it can be stopped by burning
the end of the bleeding vine with a
hot troll, or by putting grafting wax
over the wound. Scuppernong vines
pruned previous to Christmas do not
bleed.'
PLOWING VERSUS DISCING LAND
FOR OATS
John It. Fain, Professor of Agronomy,
Georgia State College of Agriculture
For the past two years comparisons
have been made in yields obtained
from land disced and similar land
plowed in growing oats. The crops
for both years showed larger yields
where land was disced.
Discing is botii the most economi
cal and rapid method of getting in fall
crop after stalks of corn have been
cut and shocked. •
the state, visiting farmers and poultry
plants to tills end.
With the crying necessity for diver
sification of crops at this time, It Is
gratifying to be able to announce that
co-operative arrangements have been
made with the United States Bureau
of Agriculture whereby the College
greatly adds to Its already Important
work In cereal development tn the
state, and Is able to enter extensive
lines of testing varieties, in plant
breeding for Georgia conditions, and
in developing disease resisting varie
ties, the work to be conducted in va
rious portions of the state and on dif
ferent types of soil.
Aside from these new enterprises,
the College will continue to promote
its former lines of work. The boys'
corn clubs will be used to promote
other crops, the girls' clubs are to
lake up other activities than canning,
poultry clubs will be organized more
extensively, the pig club work will be
enlarged, the farm demonstration
work will be conducted on a larger
scale, the soil surveys will be advanc
ed. the extension-demonstration work
in horticulture will be pushed, and as
far as possible the demands for farm
ers' meetings and institutes will be
met.
A beaume hydrometer for determin
ing the degrees of strength of the
solution can be purchased at a drug
store.
For other degrees beaume shown
the dilution can be made in the fol
lowing order: 34 degrees S 3-4 gal

DRILLS VERSUS OPEN FURROW
John R. Fain, Professor of Agronomy.
Georgia State College of Agriculture.
For the past four years grain
drills have been In comparison with
the open furrow in seeding winter
oats. Oats have been put in before
October 15. Later seeding would
probably give* preference to the open
furrough.
Tests so far have given slightly
larger yields where drill was used.
The drill does the work faster and is
more economical on larger areas,
