The work is progressing satis factorily and many home owneri are having their property desig nated by numbers. The next work of these gentlemen will be placing the names of streets on each corner, so that a stranger in the city can find his way eas ily. They are doing their work in a systematic manner and their methods are meeting with the approval of the citizens. “Cottonseed meal stimulates the appetite, thereby inducing rapid gains and a quick finish as well as assist ing in maintaining the appetite when the animals are in high condition. It is also true when the prices of feeds and cattle are high that more efficient rations show a greater commercial ad vantage than when prices are low."

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. UMPMEORBEftti 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.
