Jamagin, Prof. Animal Hw., Ga. State College Of Agriculture The most economical method ot feeding cattle is by the aae of the silo. In the absence of the silo and for the benefit of the farmer with only a few head of cattle to feed, a sched ule of feeding cattle for the market has been worked out at the College. Those feeds have been selected which can be produced eoonomically, and which can be marketed to beat, ad vantage by feeding to beef cattle. Sorghum affords a cheap source of fat. Oat straw and corn stover should be used. Cow pea hay is advantage ously used during the last two months of feeding. Cotton seed meal is the cheapest concentrate. In feeding cotton seed meal the fol lowing schedule is recommended: Nov. 1-5, 1 lb.; Nov. 6-10, 2 lba.; Nov. 11-20, 3 lbs.; Nov. 21-30, 4 lbs.; Dec. 1-10, 5 lbs.; Dec. 11-20, 5% lbs.; Dec. 21-30, 6 lbs.; Dec. 81-Jan. 9,6% lbs.; Jan. 10-19, 7 lbs.; Jan. 20-29, 7% lbs. For sorghum feeding the schedule is as follows: Nov. 1-Dec. 1, 20 lbs.; Dec. 1-30, 15 lbs.; Dec. 31-Jan. 29, 10 lbs. Oats, straw or corn stover should be fed as follows: Nov. 1-30, 10 lbs.; Dec. 1-30, 7% lbs.; Dec. 31-Jan. 29, 5 lbs. Cotton seed hulls are scheduled to be fed at the rate of 3 lbs. per day during the entire period. Cow-pea hay is introduced in the feed Dec. 1 and fed at the rate of 3 lbs per day till Dec. 30 and 6 lbs. per day the remainder of the period. Corn is scheduled to enter Into the ration December 1 at the rate of 2 lbs. per day and increased Dec. 31 to 4 lbs. per day for the remainder of the pe riod. All the feeds mentioned, of course, constitute the ration and are fed to gether in keeping with the amounts and dates mentioned. The amount of each feed is broken into two ra tions, one for the morning feed and one for the evening. COTTON SEED MEAL FOR LAYING HENS Roy F. Irvin., Instructor In Poultry, Georgia State College Of Agr. Cotton seed meal costs about $1.50 per 100 pounds as against $3.25 for good beef scraps, which it can replace, thus affecting a saving of 50 per cent. The College has been feeding cotton seed meal in dry mash, which is be fore the hens at alt times, about 3 per cent of the mash being cotton seed meal, besides this, a wet mash con sisting of 18 per cent cotton seed meal mixed with corn meal, bran and shorts, is fed at noon each day. Care should be taken not to feed cot ton seed meal in amounts over 20 per cent of the amount of the mash. Singing at County Line There will be a singing at.

Jones BEST YIELDING OATS IN GEORGIA AND METHOD OF PLANTING _____ > Ross H. Childs, Agronomist, CMorgla Stats College Of AgrfMftuve The College of Agrfettftose, to co operation with the office of Oateal Investigation of the United Slates reau of Agriculture, Is conducting aj number of experiments as to ffkno and manner of seeding, pseparaClbni of seed bed and comparative tests of varieties of oats. Oats seeded at the College to plats in October yielded from 10 to 20 budh els more per acre than when planted November 1, indicating that for Nom> Georgia oats should be seeded in Oc tober. In South Georgia, howeVOr, oats do well when sown as Ihte Art November 15. Where oats follow corn that has been cut and shocked, doubhvrtiecing the soil with a disc harrow and pit ting in the seed with a grain drill BaA given slightly better results than plow ing the land and then seeding. Tfcp cost of discing is only about one-biW that of plowing. Oats following cotton can be aovto about October 16 between cotton rovys. The cotton stalks can be broken d(W&n with a stalk cutter about February 1. Seeding with a drill has been fbund to give much higher yields than when sown broadcast and slightly bettor yields when sown by the open rough method. The Red Rustproof group of oat, such as Appier, Texas Rust Proof, Ban croft and Hundred Bushel, has given excellent results. The Fulghmn is an excellent oat maturing from one to two weeks earlier than the Red Rust proof group. Its yield has been abrtdt 8 bushels less than Appier during four years’ test at the College plats. In south Georgia, however, It doet? |®lte as well as any variety with the ad vantage of earliness. PRUNING GRAPES T. H. McHatton, Prof. Hwrt., Georgto State College Of Agriculture Because of the tendency of grape vines to bleed severely when pruned late, it is essential that, the pruning be done before Christinas. Grapos bear their fruit on the wood of the season from last season’s canes. This should be remembered when pruning vines. A good, strong, healthy grape vine several years old, can well afford to carry 4 to 8 runners of two to three feet in length, though in some meth ods of pruning they are cut. back to the spurs. Contrary to the general belief, scop pernongs can be pruned with success. The College has had success growing scuppernongs on trellis taking partic ular care to prune before Clrrlstmes Land Sale On the first Tues' ln i ! /em ber. 1915. all the lands belonging to the heirs of R.
