PROSPECTS IN GEORGIA
• - .. —T* ■ , .&!
M. P. Jarnaglrt* Professor of Animal
Husbandry, Georgia State Col
lege Of Agriculture
Feeding cattle for beef during the
past two years has been fraught with
uncertainty because of unusual condi
tions caused by the war, high cost of
feed stuffs and the foot and mqutjb
disease. -, t . ,
During the year 1914 the price pf
feeders was higher • than during the
fall pf 1915. The reasons assigned
are that there are not so many tour
ers In the field because of the price
of foodstuff: Here ■in Georgia and
northern Florida there were many
western buyers during the fall of
1914,,: taking up thousands of cattle,
but during the fall of 1915 they did
not show up. Asa consequence local
cattle are bringing less.
True, cottonseed meal is up*. bet
close {figuring will reveal that the sav
ing An the buying price, of the animal
Is greater, at least that the time this
is .written, than the Increased cost of
meal will amoant to in a feeding pe
riod of 90 to, 100 day*. ,
The fact that there are fewer cat
tle being fed for the market would
indicate good prices at marketing
time*. In view of, these considerations
it would appear, that this will be. a
good year to feed cattle for beef in
Georgia, providing the- farmer has
some home grown feed and a silage.
Potash Prospects
V‘ , , i L -1 rr— $ v.!' * f * j-p&vi
W. A. Woraham, Professor Of Agri
cultural Chemistry, Georgia State
College Of Agriculture
"
Many inquiries are being made as
to the prospects of obtaining potalrh.
in view of the absence of the usual
supply from Germany. The indica
cations are that the fertilizer dealers
are going to put on the market, for
the most part, & low grade potash.
Government investigations of alunite
in Utah has developed that it is a
practical source of potash, and some
of the fertilizer dealers are already
making use of it.
Not much progress has been made
in obtaining potash economically from
feldspar for fertilizer purposes, nor
has there been very much obtain
ed from kelp of the western coast.
From all these sources, not enough
potash will be obtained to equal the
normal demand made upon Germany
and nothing at present indicates that
when the war ceases this country will
not again rely upon , the German, mines.
Asa substitute for potash, the
fanner of Georgia will find that cotton
seed meal, If obtained at reasonable
price, may he associated with acid
phosphate and give good results.
About 1 % per cent of the cottonseed
meal is potash. Considering that many
Georgia soils are not deficient in pot
ash, this combination may give as
much satisfaction, generally speak
ing, as could probably be hoped for
at this time.
Savings Incident To Proper
Storing Of Farm Machinery
L. C. Hart, Professor Of Farm Mechan
ics, Georgia State College
Of Agriculture
Before the winter sets in the ma
chinery of the farm should be un
der shelter and at the first opportun
ity the farmer should obtain some
thick black train oil costing from 12
to 15 cents per gallon, and apply this
to all polished surfaces of the ma
chinery. This can be done with a
mop stick.
It is a known fact that the draft
of a rusty plow is twenty-five per
cent greater than one that has been
kept free from rust with proper oil
ing. The dirt, of course, adheres to
the rusted parts instead of shedding
with less friction over a smooth and
shining surface.
Care should be taken to exclude
dust from the bearings of all kinds
of machinery. This can best be done
by getting the oil there first. A lib
eral application of oil should, there
fore, be made to ail bearings. If, in
the spring, when the machinery is
taken out for use, it is found that the
bearings are gummy, apply an oil that
is half kerosene and half machine oil
for the first half hour of operation
and then apply the regular machine
oil.
Putting the machinery of the farm
in shape now and keeping it in shape,
will be a great saving next spring,
when the farmer is busiest, and when
the troubles incident to rust and
poorly kept machinery will show up
worst.

LIVESTOCK IN GENOA
Andrew M. Soule, President, Georgia
Stato College Of Agriculture. ,1
j. . ~1,; 7/ n
On November 22, an exhibit of pure*
bred livestock and home grown food,
stuffs was started from the Georgia
State College of Agriculture to travel
over the state, to make about 2<io
stops and reach a vast number of
formers. In .this , campaign the Col
lege of Agriculture has ~ been Joined
by the United States Department, of
and the Rsilroads haying
lines, in the state. , ;
Announcements hare ~ been made
public of the exhibiting places. Thoye
who have yet the opportunity of vis*
iting the exhibit* and hearing the ex*
perts on the subject of livestock rais
ing in Georgia, should make sure of
using. U. , ~ k . ■
The purebred and registered live
stock will consist of Jersey, Holatoin
dairy cattle, short horn and Hereford
beef,cattle, Percheron horses, duroo,
tamworth and berkshire hogs. These
hare been taken from the College
farm ,*qr this tour of the state. They
are jtp tell their story ol what a purs*
bred animal is. The speakers will tell
of the importance of introducing such
animals into the foundation of the
livestock industry of this state. Lit
erature will be distributed which has
been put out especially for this cam
paign-
The home-grown food stuff exhibit
presents In striking and pointed way
what Georgiy grows or can grow for
the feeding of livestock. This is a part
of the College exhibit at the State
Fair and has many Important lessons
for the Georgia farmer.
Without growing more livestock
Georgia can make no permanent ad
vancement in agriculture. A certain
amount,of livestock is necessary to the
economical operation of any system of
agriculture. No other means of con
serving soil fertility is comparable
with that of feeding farm crops and
returning manure to the land. Live
stock, however, can be unprofitable
when ,the wrong methods. of feeding
are practiced or when high priced feed
Is given to poor grade cattle. It is,
therefore, very essential to get good
quality of stock and then know what
is the best home-grown ration.
To help farmers buy at low cost,
the College and its co-workers pro
pose to help the farmers buy pure
bred animals on a co-operative basis,
assuring the lowest possible cost and
at the same time the best grade of
animal for the money.
This campaign has as its end in
view the welfare of the farmer, noth
ing else. If you are in sympathy with
such a movement lend it your pres
ence and encouragement, if possible.
Substituting Phosphate
Rock for Phosphoric Acid
John R. Fain, Professor Of Agronomy,
Georgia Btate College Of
Agriculture
On account of the high price of
phosphoric acid, dealers are pushing
rock phosphate as a substitute at this
time. The farmer must not be misled
into believing that the ground phos
phate rock will become immediately
available like the acid in the produc
tion of crops.
The rock phosphate will give better
results on the second crop than on
the first one, and, better still, on the
third than on the second. It is the
policy on the farm of the College of
Agriculture to apply the ground phos
phate rock every three years.
Rock phosphate will prove disap
pointing on many soils of this state
if it is not applied with barnyard ma
nure or with green cover crops turned
under. To get the best results from
ground phosphate rock, it Is necessary
that the soil contain considerable or
ganic matter. In this respect, the
■oils of Georgia are quite deficient,
hence the necessity of applying the
ground phosphate with barnyard ma
nure or green manures. The ground
rock can be scattered over the ma
nure as it accumulates each day, or If
green manuring is to be used, It can
be broadcasted on the field before the
crop is turned under.
