TRIBUTE TO THE

tf'buto of tho ldte Governor

'eri at Auburn are in favor of
planting oats in the fall rather
than in the spring. Over a pe
riod of many years oats planned
in the tali have yielded twice as
much as oats planted in the
spring. Occasionally, a severe
winter kills fall-planted oats.
\Vhere oats are planted early and
in furrows they usually survive
Georgia Winters without severe
injury.
While county agents are insist
ing that farmers plant oats this
fall they are also giving informa
tion as to varieties, sails, fertili-
not zers, and other factors entering
people into *the profitable/ production of
oats.
Home Conveniences
Can Be Easily Made
Various labor-saving convenien
ces for the farm home may be
made at small expense by any
body who has a few simple too’?
cij8 and the ability to use them. Most;
! of these help have the t»me and
animal in the herd.
It takes <hut a few moments to
tattoo an animal and the identify
ing mark is /permanently fixed
in the ear. Needle points form
the design cf letters or numbers
and these points are held in po
sition in the head of the marker
which is like a large pair of plier.
The needle points are covered
with indelia-le ink or paste.
The instrument is then set in
position and the needles penetrate
the ear on the inside carrying the
ink well under the surface of the
tkin. Ink is immediately rubbed
into the slight wound made by
the n6ed!e points and the job is
done. There is practically no
bleeding, and the operation is
scarcely noticed by the animal.
It is recommended that the ear to
be tattooed be cleaned with alco
hol .before it is punched. This
will remove the wax and other
foreign matter and insure a clean
surface cn which to work.

Easy Cleaning
For instance, a simple compound
