Preventing Forest Fires
J. B. BERRY, Prof. Forestry, State
College Of Agriculture.)
The exceedingly dry spring, togeth
er with the ignorance and careless
ness of people in the forest, is respon
sible for the great (ire damage this
year. Everywhere throughout south
and central Georgia, the air is hazy
with the smoke from many small for
est fires. Thousands of acres of tur
pentine orchards have been burned
over with corresponding loss in trees,
cups and equipment. In the swamps
the fire has eaten down through the
humus often times many feet to the
mineral soil, destroying in a few days
the slow accumulation of many years
of fertility.
Forest fires are not a necessary evil!
They may be prevented even during
such an extremely dry season as this.
Many fires originate from live cinders
from a railroad or logging locomotive
or from a steam skidder. A good spark
arrester will take care of the situation;
only it is necessary that it be properly
fitted to the smoke stack and that the
engineer be held responsible for any
holes punched in it. Many other fires
originate from deserted camp-fires,
cigarette and cigar stubs, live coals
from a pipe and matches which are
thrown away without being fully extin
guished. Surely a hunter or fisherman
should have enough gratitude for the
privilege of using another man’s land
to do all he can to prevent fires on
the property. Still other fires orig
inate in the neighborhood of farms,
especially where fire is used in clear
ing land. Naturally, this work should
be deferred until a safer season.
All forest fires have small begin
nings. In the history of every fire,
there was a time when it might have
been controlled with one pail of
water or one shovel of sand. If ev
ery one did his duty at such time,
there would be no forest fires. There
are, however, reasonable precautions
which every forest owner should take.
A fire line consisting of three or four
furrows may be plowed about a wood
lot, or, in the case of a larger tract,
a number of lines may be run through
the forest at right angles to each oth
er. Even a double furrow cutting
down to mineral soil will effectively
check a ground fire. After a fire has
started it is often possible to get out
with a small plow and prevent its
further extension. In the case of a tur
pentine orchard the needles and other
inflammable material should be kept
raked away from the trees at all sea
sons of the year. Along railroads there
should be a double fire lane on each
side of the right of way, the first at a
distance of 50 to 60 feet from the
track, the second at a distince of 100
to 150 feet. If such simple preventa
tive measures are taken, and every
one extinguishes the small fires, there
will be no great loss through the agen
cy of fire in the forest.
Says They Are Wonderful
Hot weather is doubly dangerous

sick headache, biliousness, or other

Livestock Campaign
Quite Successful
Milton P. Jarnagin, Professor Of Ani
mal Husbandry, Georgia State
College Of Agriculture.
The campaign for more and bet
ter livestock which has been conduct
ed in Georgia by the College of Agri
culture in co-operation with the rail
roads, proved as great a success as
could be hoped for. Practically the
whole state was included in the itin
erary, every line of railroad being
used. Abodt 175 stops were made by
the exhibit cars, the arrangement be
ing to make two stops a day. About
175,000 people visited the exhibits and
heard the speeches made by the ex
perts accompanying the exhibits.
All those who saw the exhibits know
more today about what pure-bred live
stock is, what different breeds are
and their adaptability to local condi
tions than they ever knew before. Un
questionably many have been led to
desire pure-bred animals and many
have already determined to have such
types of animals as their foundation
for breeding. The ultimate outcome
of the campaign, therefore, will be a
large contribution to the improve
ment of livestock, the influence of
which will continue Indefinitely as the
effect of better breeds develops from
year to year.
This campaign would have been Im
possible without the assistance of the
railroads. They joined most heartily
in the undertaking.
The exhibits of home-grown feeds
added conclusive arguments in favor
of the livestock industry in Georgia.
In fact, the conclusion which the cam
paign enforced with no room left for
doubt, is that Georgia affords splen
did opportunities for livestock grow
ing.
There was more interest in the
celebration of the Glot ious Fourth
this year than has been seen in a
long time. The flag means some
thing to the country now that we
are about to have to lick the
greasers.

Peanuts For Oil
And For Swine
John R. Fain, Professor Cf Agronomy,
Georgia State College Of Agriculture.
That there is now at least a limited
opportunity in the production of pea
nuts for oil for those who are not in
a position to graze the peanuts off
with hogs, is unquestioned. This will
certain last as long as present mar
ket conditions in oil prevail.
If the producer of peanuts can con
tract ahead for 75 cents per bushel or
above, he can figure a profit of some
thing like 15 cents per bushel based
on 40 bushels per acre at average
cost of production. If contracts can
not be made ahead for a definite price,
wherever possible, the farmer should
be In a position to graze the nuts off
with hogs, in case thG price of nuts
at harvest time, does not make It prof
itable to put them on the market.
Estimates for the profitable produc
tion of pork can be based on 200
pounds of pork per acre. There are a
good many reports of as much as 1,-
000 pounds of pork per acre on pea
nuts, but 200 pounds can safely be
taken as the minimum. If 600 to 800
pounds of pork can be obtained it will
give a larger profit than peanuts at
75 cents sold to the oil mill.
One of the main differences between
grazing hogs and selling nuts to the
mill is the maintenance of the fertil
lly of the land. This is a most im
portant factor and it should be clear
ly kept in mind that where hay and
nuts are all removed the land will de
preciate in crop-producing' power.
Where (he hogs graze the peanuts the
land should increase in crop-producing
power.
How To Make
Bordeaux Mixture
(T. H. McHATTON, Prof. Horticul
ture, Georgia State College of Agr.)
Recommendations are being made
for spraying Bordeaux mixture for
many fungous diseases or wilts, and
care should be exercised in making
it. By following the formula here
with given an effective mixture can
be obtained: Dissolve 3 pounds of
blue stone in a small pail of water.
When dissolved dilute to twenty-five
gallons. Slack six pounds of lime in
a small amount of water and dilute to
twenty-five gallons. Pour the two so
lutions at the same time into a bar
rel through a screen (o catch the
lumps of material remaining. While
pouring stir the contents of the bar
rel vigorously. Mixing thoroughly in
this way Is very essential to prevent
crystals forming and thereby bring
about a reduction of the strength of
the mixture.
Butts County’s Road
Mileage Totals 375
According to figures just an
nounced Butts county has 375
miles of iural route mileage and
will therefore receive from the
state automobile tag sale $450.72.
The total amount paid into the
state treasury from the sale of
auto tags is $98,248.72. This
money is distributed among the
various counties on the basis of
R. F. D. mileage for the benefit
of the road fund.
