Selling AnswerToDairy
surplus Threat--Brown
A vigorous selling program is
the answer to the surplus problem
¢or dairy products is the opinion
of Harry L Bfown, dean of the
college of Agriculture, University
of Georgia.
with milk production per cow at
st highest peak in history, and
diminishing foreign demands for
dairy foods produced in this
country, the accumulating stocks
in warehouses present a serious
threat to the nation’s economy.
Neither government purchases
por price supports nor production
eontrol will permanently solve the
problem, the dean pointed out.
What this nation needs is a dairy
advertising and merchandising
program big enough to turn peo
ple’s needs into wants.
Scientists agree that nutritional
1y America needs to increase fluid
milk consumption 20 million
quarts a_day, to say nothing of
additional quantities of other dairy
foods.
In the American Dairy Associa
tion program, the dairy farmers
and their industry have the vehicle
to "Say It With Sales,” Dean
Brown advises. Their ads, posters
and merchandising events have
demonstrated the possibilities in
the “salesway to success.”
Only by every farmer .and every
plant participating in the June set
aside plan will the program grow
big enough to answer the problem.
Published Here
Clarke County Agent D. L.
Branyon announced this week the
publication of a new handbook for
Georgia farm families and he said
that the publication should be of
benefit to many farmers in this
section.
Although published by the Agri
cultural Extension Service, the
book represents the work of of
ficials of the University of Georgia
College of Agriculture, School of
Home Economics, School of For
estry, School of Veterinary Medi
cine, the Georgia Experiment Stat
tion at Experiment, the Coastal
Plains Experiment Station at Tif
ton and the Extension Service.
“There are 13 chapters or di
visions in the book,” Mr. Branyon
stated, “and these deal with hort
iculture, poultry, livestock, fores
try, agronomy, wildlife, insects
and diseases rodents, bee culture,
agricultural engineering, agricul
tural economics, home economics
and food processing.”
The book is being sold for actual
cost of printing, Mr. Branyon
pointed out, and the coples are $1
gach. Copies may be ordered from
the Agricuitural Extension Serv
ice, Athens or Mr. Branyon will be
glad to assist anyone wishing to
order a eopy.
BEEF CATTLE
The increased importance of
beef cattle production in Georgia
has done more to the improvement
in quality than to increased numb
ers. Improved quality has been
due largely to the use of better
bulls, greater production of feed
and better pastures.
e p—
CREEP FEEDING
It is advisable to ereep feed
calves that are to be marketed for
slaughter at weaning time. It is
also a wise practice to creep feed
pure-bred calves that are to be
maintained or sold as breeding
animals,
The Blakemore is the most im
portant variety of strawberries
grown in Georgia.

In farm value, watermelons are
second only to sweet potatoes as a

Early Poisoni
By GEORGE ABNEY, JR.
| Farm Editor
~ Last week we told you about
imaterial.s for use as sprays in boll
weevil control and suggested that
‘applications be made immediately.
; Today something of the method
‘and time of applications will be
noted. Satisfactory methods are
use of hand guns, horse-drawn and
tractor operated dusters, or air
plane dusting.
Early poisoning is recommend
ed before the squares form, and
when squaring begins the fields
should be examined. If punctured
or flared squares are readily
found, apply any of the recom
mended materials (BHC-DDT,
Arsenate in alternate applications
with BHC-DDT, or Toxaphene).
Applications should be made at
four to six day intervals until the
infestation is brought under con
trol, say Georgia entomologists and
cotton agronomists. This will
probably require at least three ap
plications. Fields should be
watched closely and poisoning re
sumed when reinfestation occurs,
Do not stop the control program
too early. D. L. Branyon, Clarke
county agent, highly favors this
state-wide program and urges cot
ton producers to follow it. More
information will be given next
week.
DAIRY INDUSTRY
According to present estimates,
about 25,000,000 pounds of butter
are made on Georgia farms an
nually . .. A good dairy cow, well
fed, should produce 5,000 pounds
of milk per year ... Milk is one
of our finest and most complete
foods.
MILK GOATS
A good milk goat will supply
enough milk fd* several persons|
and can be kept where it will be
impossible to keep and properly
feed and care for a cow. Goats’
milk is nearly always pure white
in color. An average daily pro
duction of two quarts is considered
good.
W. Scott Futral, Griffin, won
‘the award in Chicago where the
National Advance Scholarship
award contest sponsored by the
Sears-Roebuck Foundation was
held. s
This is the second consecutive
year that a University student has
placed second in the national con
test. Last year’s runner-up was
James L. Willimson, Rebecca.
As a second-place winner Fu
tral will receive $250 scholarship
to be used toward his college ex
penses next year. The award was
based on scholarship, leadership,
personality, and business ability.
Contestants in the national con
test were the best sophmore agri
culture students in other land
grant colleges throughout the Unit
ed States who now hold sophomore
scholarships from the Sears Foun
dation.
Seven students, selected from 44
throughout the nation, cgrggted
in the final contest in goo.
First place winner was from the
University of Nebraska.
While he has been at the Uni
versity, Futral has maintained one
of the highest averages in his class
in addition to earning all his col
lege expenses. He holds a part
time job in the University dairy
department and is a member of
the Ag Club, Dairy Science Club,
Student Union, and’ is business
manager of the Georgia Dairyman,
annual Dairy Science Club publi
cation.
Chemicals Hit
Development of chemical solu
tions for reducing peach crop
losses from late frost and eold
spells has been considerably pro
gressive recently, according to W.
T. “Tap” Bennett, director of agri
cultural development, Central of
Georgia Railway. :
In a letter from Savanah he
wrote:
“Ag a result of continued mis
fortune of losing peach crops, agri
cultural scientists have developed
chemical solutions which indicates
| at the present time that the use in
the form of sprays will prevent
loss from late frost and late cold
spells,
“Mr. David G. White of the De
partment of Horticulture of Penn
sylvania State College, explains
experiments with these new solu
tions. He says if flowering could
be delayed ten days or more in
many instances the dangers of frost
would be past. He further ex
plains that a solution known as
naphythaleneacetic acid would de
lay blossoming and at the same
time insure the plants but recently
’he reports that they have found
'maleic hydrazide to be a unique
growth regulant, exerting a pro
nounced but temporary inhibiting
effect on plant growth. Results on
raspberries delayed blossoming
from 24 to 38 days and matured
their fruit in 16 to 23 days later.
“These experiments certainly
are interesting and may prove of
great benefit to Georgia peach
growers.”
FREEZING BUTTER
Special care should be taken in
making farm butter to be stored
in freezer lockers. Average farm
butter made from sour cream will
not keep well, even at low temp
eratures.

DAIRYMAN’S ADVICE
Establish P
stablis astures
First In Dairyi
irst In Dairying
DANIELSVILLE, May 80.—G. L. Barber, operator of &
small dairy in Madison county, thinks the best thing farm
ers who want to get started in the livestock industry can do
is establish pastures before a fence is built or a cow bought.
~ “I didn’t build a fence or buy a
cow until my pastures were estab
lished,” Barber said. And he’s
done right well with his small
dairy herd since he got his firs:
four cows in 1949.
} With 152 acres of land, Barber
is now milking nine cows. They
‘average four gallons or better of
imllk a day, with one giving nearly
five and a half gallons over a five
month’s period this year.
“I swapped and traded and chang
ed around until I got good cows,”
Barber said. He added that he
doesn’t keep a cow unless she gives
at least four gallons of milk daily,
With good grade Jerseys, this Mad
ison county dairyman is improv
ing his herd through culling and
artificial breeding.
Sells Milk
Barber is currently selling milk
to the Pet Milk Company at Roys
ton. His long-range plans call for
grade A sales and about 15 cows

Plans already are being made for
holding the fourth annual Georgia
\ Livestock Exposition at the South- ‘
eastern Fairgrounds in Atlanta in
March, 1951, according to R. A.
Garner, Chairman of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce’s livestock
committee. |
“A cordial invitation is extended
to 4-H Club boys and girls and
Future Farmers of America
throughout the state to partici
pate,” he said. He also invited the
Georgia Angus, Hereford, Jersey
and Guernsey breeders to enter
animals in the exhibition. ‘

producing the year 'round.
Building his home mear Hull in
1938, Barber went to Athens dur
ing the war and operated a seed
and hardware business, He came
back to Madison county in '47 and
in ’4B began preparing land for
pastures. A partner still operates
the establishment in Athens.
Turning under 14 acres of lespe
deza, Barber sowed fescue and
ladino clover for his winter graz
ing. Before seeding, he applied
1,500 pounds of lime per acre, and
at planting time, 700 pounds of
6-8-6 fertilizer were used. Barber
used 12 pounds of fescue and three
of ladino to the acre.
Five acres of kudzu were start
ted in 1941. “I like it fine,” Barber
said. “It helps out in dry weather
and really makes the milk.
With five acres of oats and
crimson clover, Barber provides
temporary winter grazing, This
{crop will be followed by sweet
sudan for late summer grazing.
There are about three acres of
sericea lespedeza on the farm.
Controlled Grazing
| Madison County Agent New W.
| Shirley reports that Barber is
providing controlled grazing for his
| cattle 12 months a year.
: “I like dairy cattle better than
| cotton because I have a regular
' | yearly income,” Barber said, com
| paring his new enterprise with the
| once King.
Barber still has some cotton on
| his farm. “I grew 17 acres of cot
| tonn last year,” he said. “I spent
L {over S3OO for poisoning.” He has
| 30 acres of cotton this year.
| “When I build my dairy to ca~
| pacity and begin selling grade A
'|milk, I plan to quit cotton alto
gether,” Barber declared.

ATLANTA, May 30-—More than
a thousand Georgia cotton farmers
—grower-members of cotton im=

applied for the U. 8. Department
of Agriculture’s free cotton class
ing and market news services dur~
ing the 1950 season,
Harold K. Tinsle», manager of
USDA's southeast area Cotton
Branch office here, said the early
Georgia applications, filed through
the respective associations, repre
sent a total of more than 28,000
acres.
Deadline for the filing of appli
cations in Georgia 4s August I
Tinsley has urged cofton improve
ment groups to file their applica~
tions as far as possible in advance
of that date to insure ample time
to prepare for the services, such as
arrangement for the pulling of
samples by ginhers.
In explaining the value of the
classing and market news ‘serv
ices, provided under terms of the
Smith-Doxey Act, Tinsley pointed
out that the first enables a grower
to know the grade of each bale of
his cotton, and the second tells him
what this grade should bring on
the market.
