Establishing A Good Georgia Pasture
Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
To 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
tion, the roots will take hold and
grow more rapidly than would other
wise be the ease. 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
step on them in passing so as to press
them into the soil.

Double Cropping Peas In Georgia
Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
Plant any one of the following va
rieties of peas as soon as danger of
frost is past: Iron, Brabham, New
Era, Warren’s Extra Early, Whippor
will, Clay or Black. The preference
is in the order named. If planted as
soon as danger of frost is past on land
which is in fair condition .and where
reasonable skill in fertilization has
been exercised, you should be able to
get a crop of hay off the land, and
have sufficient aftermath volunteers
to produce a fairly good crop of grain,
or quite a satisfactory crop of hay,
or, better still, a considerable amount
of grazing for hogs or cattle. In oth
er words, in our experience it has
been possible from one planting of
peas to make from one and a half to
three tons of hay per acre on good
land and then gather from ten to fif
teen bushels of peas. The second
crop or aftermath, as a rule, does
not make a big growth and a large
amount of vine, but the peas set on
Plans For The Feeder Of
One To Five Beef Cattle
Milton P. Jarnagin, Prof. Animal Hus
bandry, Ga. State Col. of Agr.
Co-operating with the county farm
demonstration agents the College of
Agriculture is enlisting farmers
throughout the state in fattening cat
tle for beef, undertaking especially to
get the small farmer who may have
from one to five cattle to fatten, to
take up the work on a systematic ba
sis. The demonstration agent finds
the farmer who will undertake to fat
ten one or more cattle, gets enough
cattle in a community to make a car
load shipment and assists in market
ing them to the best advantage when
they are ready to sell.
Instructions are sent out as to how
to put beef cattle on feed and what
rations to provide until finished for
the market. Beef experts of the Col
lege doing field work will visit and ad
vise the farmers from time to time.
Farmers will be urged to use any
kind of animal available, the hope be
ing that when the farmer has started
into feeding cattle for beef that he
will be interested sufficiently to pur
chase and breed beef types.
For the farmer with one to five cat
tle to fatten, the College is advising
the planting of sorghum in rows, so
that it can be cultivated and pro
duce well. This is to be used as the
chief roughage.
Corn stover and oats straw
will be recommended as an additional
feed in that line while cotton seed
meal will be relied upon as the con
centrate. With such a ration, it is
believed that beef can be fattened
as cheaply and as well as anywhere
in the United States.
Where the nearby market is not the
best, it is proposed to have enough
Sorehead Chickens
Dr. W. M. Burson, Prof. Of Veterinary
Science, Ga. College of Agr.
Sorehead of chickens is a germ dis
ease. The germs are very resistant
to disinfectants, and will live on prem
ises for years. Affected fowls develop
wart-like growths on the comb, on
wattles, in corners of eyes and
mouth, sometimes forming ulcers on
the membranes of the eyes, mouth and
throat. The disease develops most
rapidly during damp seasons.
For prevention, keep the poultry
houses sanitary, provide plenty of
clean, dry litter, clean often and spray
frequently with 4 per cent solution
of compound cresol solution.
To treat affected birds, remove the
scabs from comb and wattles and
paint with tincture of iodine or 10
per cent solution of creolin. Apply
powdered chlorate of potash to ulcers
in mouth. Use 2 per cent boric acid
solution in the eyes.
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 18 pounds per acre.
Scatter broadcast over the land and
narrow 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
freely and produce a surprisingly
large amount of grain.
Inoculate the peas. You can secure
cultures for this purpose free of cost
from the bureau of plant industry,
United States department of agricul
ture, Washington, D. C. Plant in drills
twenty-four inches apart. This will
enable one to cultivate the crop
lightly until it spreads and covers the
ground. In this way one can econo
mize on the seed and secure a larger
return per acre. At least we have
found this to be true in our own ex
perience. We advise the use of 300
to 100 pounds of acid phosphate under
the peas at the time of planting. We
think it will pay you to use from
1,000 to 3,000 pounds of pulverized
lime rock per acre. The lime should
be put on after the ground has been
plowed and should be harrowed in.
Do not mix it with fertilizer, but ap
ply it about two weeks before plant
ing the crop.
cattle in a community to make a car
load shipment to more favorable mar
kets. The demonstration agent is
not only to see that there are enough
farmers enlisted in the work to make
up the carload shipment, but they are
to see to it that the farmers start
their feeding at the same time, so
that they will be ready to sell at the
proper time.
Summer Course
In Cotton Grading
* Loy E. Raat, Professor Of Cotton
Industry
The important place that cotton
holds in Southern agriculture and in
view of the fact that it will prob
ably never be less prominent, it be
comes pertinent that more attention
be paid to its methods of handling
and marketing. There is an increasing
demand for trained warehousemen and
cotton buyers.
A course in cotton grading is espec
ially desirable at the present time,
since the grades taught are those of
the new standards which after Febru
ary 18th, 1915, are mandatory as a
basis of future contract.
The quickest and easiest way
to do this is to attend the Summer
Cotton Grading School during the pres
ent summer at the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture, June 28th to July
31st.
Students will have a great many
samples to handle daily and thereby
become thoroughly familiar with the
appearance of the various grades. The
whole course, although based on strict
scientific principles, is extremely prac
tical and every one who satisfactorily
completes the course should be in a
position to take charge of a cotton
warehouse and buy and sell cotton
with no difficulty.
County Soil Surveys
W. A. Worsham, Professor of Agricul
tural Chemistry, Ga. St. Col. of Agr.
The physical survey of Turner coun
ty has recently been completed and
similar work is being concluded for
Washington and Laurens counties,
and field work in Wilkes county will
be started at once. By the physical
survey is meant the surveying of ev
ery kind of soil found in a county,
mapping these types and publishing
them in bulletin form along with de
scriptions of the soils, their adapta
bility to cropß and what they show
by chemical analysis, of plant food
content. The chemical analysis is
made in the laboratories of the Col
lege of Agriculture. It is a much
slower process than the physical sur
vey or field work.
The soil survey and chemical analy
sis is supplemented by crop tests by
the Department of Agronomy of the
College of Agriculture, for leading
soil types.
