HOG CHOLERA
SERUM IN GEORGIA
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College Of Agriculture.
Judging from reports coming from
various parts of the state, there is still
a misapprehension as to what part the
College of Agriculture has in the man
ufacture and distribution of hog chol
era serum. By law the College is em
powered to manufacture the serum for
the farmers of the state at lowest pos
sible cost, but the law does not per
mit the College to distribute the serum
direct to the farmer, county agents,
veterinarians or other agencies of the
state, but it specifies that the serum
shall be distributed by the vet
erinarian’s office at the State
Capitol. Therefore, all College serum
must be turned over to the state veter
inarian. It is manufactured and held
in storage subject to the order of the
state veterinarian, and is promptly
turned over to him on his request,
usually in large quantities and in full
for all orders. The responsibility of
the College, therefore, ends, so far as
the distribution of the serum is con
cerned, when it fills the orders of the
state veterinarian.
Tne law empowers the state veteri
narian to send out the serum with
such instructions as are necessary to
all persons in the state who make de
mand for state-made serum. The leg
islature has made special appropria
tions to the veterinarian’s office to fa
cilitate and expedite the distribution
of the serum. Until this year the leg
islature had appropriated a like sum
for the manufacture of the serum. The
only appropriation, therefore, now be
ing made for serum by the state of
Georgia, is to the office of the state
veterinarian for the distribution of it.
11l view of the failure of the legis
lature to make the appropriation for
the manufacture of serum, it has fall
en upon the College of Agriculture to
assume responsibility for carrying out
the purposes of the law' without finan
cial aid, by undertaking to manufac
ture serum at the lowest cost at which
any kind of serum is offered on the
market. The College serum is tested
and guaranteed. Those who want the
College serum should make request for
it, since the state veterinarian also
distributes commercial serum and does
not confine himself to distributing
state serum alone. Do not, however,
make request upon the College. All
requests must go to the state veteri
narian at Atlanta.
In this connection, it is pertinent to
state that Georgia farmers get from
their state serum plant a serum that
costs them far less than any other
southern state plant provides it. In
such states farmers are taking the
higher priced state-made serum in
preference to commercial serums being

Forest Leaves Provide
Fertilizing Material
J. B. Berry, Professor Of Forestry,
Georgia College Of Agriculture.
Many thousand of pounds of valua
ble fertilizer are destroyed each year
in Georgia, which, if properly treated,
would rival barnyard manure. Large
quantities of leaves are burned with
out any thought of their fertilizing
value. In all parts of Europe the farm
ers eagerly gather the leaves from
the forest, along the roads and from
the fields, often paying for the privi
lege. Leaves thus gathered are com
posted usually near where they are
gathered. After a year or two the
composted material is hauled to the
barnyard and mixed with the barn
yard manure as a part of the compost
there.
Asa rule leaves decompose much
more rapidly than the crude fiber of
many agricultural crops, and contain
larger quantitites of nitrogen and pot
ash. The leaves may be raked to
gether after a rain into piles and over
them a layer of soil sufficiently thick
to hasten decomposition, may be plac
ed. Quick lime sprinkled over the
leaves will help the decay.
Recent Bulletins of College
The College of Agriculture is almost
constantly issuing circulars, bulletins
and other forms of publications, all
of which are free. They are made
as timely as possible and applicable
to conditions in existence now. The
fertilizer situation has developed cir
culars on potash and rock phosphate.
What to do for potash, of course, is
a vital question. Warning is issued
in this circular against use of caustic
soda for potash, efforts being made
by some people to sell such materials
in Georgia as a substitute for pot
ash. The bulletin on the use of rock
phosphate as a substitute for phos
phoric acid tells what may be expect
ed and warns farmers not to expect
immediate results from it.
Circulars on lime have been issued
from time to time, and one is in
course of preparation touching new
phases of the lime question as devel
oped recently in the state. Particu
larly for the use of corn clubs and
demonstration agents, a circular has
been issued on corn cultivation.
“Farm Management Under 801 l
Weevil Conditions” is the subject of a
timely and important bulletin issued
to tell how farmers can cautiously
change their farm practices, but urges
them to keep on growing cotton to a
limited extent.
ACUTE CATARRH OF PIGS
Dr. W. M. Burson, Veterinarian, Geor
gia State College Of Agriculture.
Cold in the head often occurs in
pigs during cold, wet weather. The
disease is frequently seen among pigs
not properly sheltered, or which are
overcrowded in insanitary surround
ings. Pigs that burrow' under piles
of manure or stacks of forage are
most commonly affected. Exposure to
cold rains and draughts and dipping
during cold weather are other causes.
Symptoms. Frequent sneezing,
dullness, inactivity, reduced appetite,
eyes watery and inflamed, cough, dif
ficult breathing, discharge from nos
trils.
Treatment. Correct the in
sanitary conditions, provide prop
er shelter, prevent overcrowding.
Feed on warm slop of bran
or shorts. Give a laxative dose of
epsom salts or castor oil in the feed.
If nasal passages are clogged and
breathing is difficult, steam with hot
water to which turpentine has been
added.

The Cotton Varieties That
Show The Best Yields
Loy E. Rast, Department Cotton Indus-,
try, Georgia College of Agriculture.
Twenty-nine varieties of cotton were
planted last year for comparison at
the plats of the College. The season
was favorable, and the best yield for
several years was secured. The amount
of seed cotton estimated on the basis
of an acre, that each variety produced
is as follows:
College No. 1, 3,119 pounds; Cleve
land Big 8011, 2,968 lbs.; Dixie, 2,964
lbs.; Culpepper’s, 2,941 lbs.; Cald
well’s, 2,940 lbs.; Sunbeam 80, 2,850
Williams’, 2,784 lbs.; Brown’s,
No. 2, 2,747 lbs.; Brown's No. 3, 2,739
lbs.; Trice, 2,709 lbs.; Columbia, 2,701
lbs.; Meadows, 2,698 lbs.; Toole, 2,649
lbs.; Langford’s, 2,646 lbs.; Hooper’s,
2,643 lbs.; Texas Bur, 2,626 lbs.; Liv
sey’s Early, 2,584 lbs.; Sunbeam 64,
2,558 lbs; Poulnot, 2,520 lbs.; Willet’s
Ideal, 2,502 lbs.; Christopher, 2,463
lbs.; Bown’s No. 1, 2,434 lbs.; Itexall,
2,413 lbs.; Willett’s Perfection, 2,329
lbs.; Modella, 2,311 lbs.; Hite’s Early,
2,303 lbs.; Cook's Improved, 2,275 lbs.;
Bramlett’s, 2,271 lbs.; Long Shank,
2,065 lbs.
For 801 l Weevil Conditions.
Of all of the above only five stand
out prominently as being suited to
boll weevil conditions. Early matur
ing cotton is required. These five are
College No. 1, Trice, Cleveland Big
8011, Hooper’s and Caldwell’s. All of
these made more than a bale of cot
ton per acre during the first two pick
ings, or by the end of five months after
planting, the period generally allotted
for making cotton under boll weevil
conditions. Other varieties that prom
ise well for boll weevil conditions for
the same reasons, are the following,
which come close after the first five
mentioned : Sunbeam, Meadows,
Brown’s No. 2, Bramlett’s Brown No.
