Establishing A Good Georgia Pasture
M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
"o plant something like fifty acres
to Bermuda, it is best to undertake
to use of sets. Secure a large quan
tity of roots, run them through an old
•cutting box and fill a wagon bed. Then
scatter them broadcast. Then run a
roller over the land so as to press
the sets into the soil. If the land has
been fallowed and is in good condi
tioi*> the roots will take hold and
grow more rapidly than woultj other
wise be the case. If the field is
rough and broken, run furrows about
three feet apart and drop the sets
three to four inches in the row and
sfep on them in passing so as to press
them into the soil.

Laying Tests Of Breeds
Roy F. Irvin, Poultryman, Georgia
State College Of Agriculture.
Four groups of hens of different
breeds have been under a 59-daV test
at the College of Agriculture in which
the relative cost of feed care and re
turns has been figured in terms of a
year. Not until a year’s results are
obtained, of course, can the actual an
nual performance of the birds be
for a year's period.
Thirty Rhode Island Reds, two
years old, cost at the rate of sl.lO
pei* year for mash, 40 cents for
feed, 50 cents labor or total
cosr of $2.00. The average number of
■eggs per year estimated on the 59-
day test is 266.45, which at 25 cents
per dozen, would bring $5.55, leaving
a net profit of $3.55 per hen.
A group of 80 White Leghorns, two
years old, consumed an average of
74 cents in mash per year, 40 cents
scratch feed, 50 cents labor, total cost
>51.64. Average number of eggs per
year 113.88, value $2.38, net profit per
hen 74 cents.
A group of 100 White Leghorn pul
lets netted 8 cents profit per hen.
Fifteen Barred Plymouth Rocks, two
years old, averaged 74 cents worth
of mash annually, 40 cents scratch
feed, labor 50 cents, total $1.64, aver
aged 161.47 eggs per year, value $3.16,
leaving a net profit of $1.61 per year
•per hen.
The birds used in the test were all
healthy, rare |bred stock, kept in
good housls, given plenty of fresh wa
. ter and food, and otherwise well man
aged.
The feed in the test consisted of dry
mash of the following materials and
parts, corn meal 4, bran 6, shorts 6,
alfalfa j 16, beef scraps 1, cotton
seed *.l At 2, clipped oats 2. The
scratch feed is made as follows :
Cracked corn 2, oats 1, wheat 1. The
mash is fed in hoppers and birds eat
at will. The scratch feed is fed in
ideep litter, one handful to ten bens
lin the morning and twice as much
in the evening. They are given a
.small amount of green food daily,
Hawn clippings, winter cover crops,
etc., which have not been charged in
the above accounts.

Bermuda grass from seed at the pres
ent time, as the supply of seed is rath
er limited, and, therefore, costly, and
our experience in obtaining stands
from seed has not been nearly as sat
isfactory as from the use of sets.
The best thing to plant with Ber
muda grass is Japan and bur clover.
The Japan should be sown in April at
the rate of 16 to IS pounds per acre.
Scatter broadcast over the land and
harrow into the soil. Inoculation may
be desirable though not considered ab
solutely essential. In late August sow
bur clover, using thirty pounds or
more per acre in the bur and harrow
well into the ground. When sown in
the bur inoculation is not considered
necessary.
Summgr School Work
In Agriculture
John R. Fain, Professor of Agronomy,
Ga. State College Of Agriculture.
In connection with the Summer
School for Teachers conducted at the
University of Georgia, June 28th-July
31, a course will be offered in agri
culture, one part of which is designed
to meet the needs of teachers in ele
mentary grades of the public schools
and the other for high school teach
ers.
The general outline of the state
text-book in agriculture will be fol
lowed, but special emphasis will be
given to experiments to be carried
on by students in the school garden.
Excursions will be made to the vari
ous parts of the College farm, and
the laboratories of different depart
ments will be utilized in studying vari
ous laboratory experiments.
In the high school work special em
phasis will be laid upon experiments
or laboratory work to be carried out
in connection with texts and more ad
vanced work will be taken up than
that outlined in the elementary work.
