Grazing Crops for Hogs
If the farmers of Harrow county are
to raise more bogs, they need to grow
grazing crops. One or two hogs can
tie raised cheaply by each family from
the kitchen slops and some corn but if
a half jozen or more are grown, some
kind of cheap feed must la* had to sub
stitute for the slops. Grazing crops
will do this to a large extent. They
will also tend to keep the hogs healthier.
The first requirement in grazing hogs
in this section is to have a permanent
pasture where good water can be had
at all times with little trouble. This
should have bermuda grass and lespe
deza on the uplands and Dallis grass
and white clover on the bottom lands.
During the summer there will always
he plenty of grazing in the pasture hut
the spring and fall when the weather is
dry, the grazing will Ik* short. At
these times a gfwwl grazing crop next to
the pasture is needed. If one is to he
supplied, a field will have to be fenced
so the bogs can lie turned In when the
crop is ready.
The grazing crops suited to our con
ditions are as follows:
For Spring Grazing.
RYE:—The best crop for poor lands.
OATS : —Good for medium rich lands.
Makes pigs grow fine.
WHEAT:—Suited to rich lands. For
fattening in the spring.
BARLEY':—Suited to rich lands. For
fattening in the spring.
RAPE: —Excellent* on rich land
when the winter is mild.
BUR CLOVER: —Adapted to rich
lands. When once started and grazed
carefully it will last for a number of
yea rs.
ALFALFA:—OnIy ft>r the richest
lands. Good for summer and fall also.
For Fall Grazing Lands.
PEAS: —Best for poor lands, very
dependable.
SOY BEANS:—Make more than peas
on good land.
CORN:—Should he grown with peas
or soy fieans.
SWEET POTATOES: —Good on san
dy land. Corn needs to be fed when
the hogs are grazing the potatoes.
PEANUTS: —Can be grown on the
sandiest lands, but the meat and lard
will not U* firm like that from corn
fed hogs.
The simplest plan for having graz
ing crops is to fence in with hog wire
a small Held next to the pasture and
every year grow a crop for spring graz
ing and as soon as this is eaten down
put in a crop for fall grazing. On
poor land rye should he the best spring
crop and j>eas the best fall crop to
grow after it. On better lands, oats
could be substituted for the rye and
soy beans for the peas. Bur clover in
the spring and soy beans in the fall
will require but one plowing during the
year and will furnish rich grazing all
the spring and fall.
A better plan would be to have two
lots and to graze one while the other
is resting. By doing this more graz
ing can be had from the same tield.
The amount of land needed in graz
ing crops will depend on its richness
and the size of the hogs. A general
rule would be to allow two acres of
grazing crops for each sow and pigs.
This amount of land should furnish
most <>£ the feed during the spring and
largely fatten the pigs in the fall.

Editor News:
Here I come again. Ceutralhafchie
is a nice "burg” seven miles south of
Roopville in Heard county. It is just
about as far from a railroad as you can
get in Georgia, the closest point being
eighteen miles away. I tind here two
comfortable church buildings, school
building, four or five nice country
stores and a number of good dwellings.
I am holding in the Baptist c bnrch
and have a class of good, honest coun
try hoys and girls, with many daddies
and mammies, altogether numbering
more than a hundred. As the Dutch
man would say, ‘‘How high ish dot?”
1 am expecting great things here for
much interest is noticeable. We will
not likely turn out any Mendelssohns.
Kaaffs or Beethovens, hut I see as great
possibilities here as any place I recall.
A great big country is a fine place to
raise boys and girls who are physically
arid mentally able to develop into
strong men and women. How sad it
is that so many make the fnistake of
leaving the country for town.
I find crops good where rain has
fallen, but in many places they are suf
fering for moisture. It is extremely
hot and dry here. The boll weevil is
not cutting much figure here, less is
being said about him than any place 1
have been. lam afraid people will for
get the little pest and will never decide
whether he is a blessing or a curse.
"So mote it lie.”

Vacations
While you are on that camping or fish

It will last longer, and run more accu

every year or so.
If it is in our care, you run no risk
of losing or damaging it.

THE WINDER NEWS
CAMP WINDER
By Sarah Joe Roberts.
I know the little town has been real
lonesome
Since forty girls have been away at
camp,
And we’ve all had a wonderful time.
Altho’ it rained and everything was
damp.
One cottage and two big tents
< *n top of the steepest hili,
You wonder how we passed the time,
Well, every minute was filled.
Saturday we hiked to Helen,
It’s just a mile and a half,
And on the way you’d hear a joke,
And next a hearty laugh.
At eleven and four we went in the river
Almost every girl learned to swim;
Big Broome was the life saver
And, of course, we depended on him.
Mrs. Roberts crawled out of bed at
night,
To see who had the pain;
And if someone talked in her sleep,
She just crawled out again.
On Sunday we all went to church,
Walking was the best we could do,
Mr. Collins said it was a mile,
But, Gee! It seemed like two.
On Tuesday we hiked to Yonab,
And went to the very top,
As the mountain was very steep,
We made a few little stops.
And every day we sang this tune,
“Tain’t gonter rain no more,”
But it didn’t seem to do much good;
’Cause every day it poured.
Saturday night was stunt night
For the B. O. B’s. (Bunch of Bums)
Now when you look into their tent,
Don’t mistake it for the slums.
Monday night was stunt night
For the “Happy Klan, and “Dewdrop
Inn,”
We had the cutest circus,
That’s where the fun begins.
And ’though it’s been only a week,
The days have seemed so long,
Since we gathered ’round the camp fire,
And sang our good old song:
“Here at Yonah, at Camp Winder,
Ain’t we got fun,
Things are gay and getting gayer,
Ain’t we got fun,
There’s nothing finer than dear old
“Camp Winder,”
In the water, and by the camp fire,
Ain’t we got fun.”
