Georgia Can Raise
Sheep With Profit
Spring Lambs Bring Fancy Prices And
Quick Returns
MILTON P. JARNAGIN, Prof. Animal
Husbandry, Ga. State Col. Of Agri.
With lambs selling at 11 and 12
cents per pound live weight, no live
stock undertaking is likely to prove
more profitable nor turn profits more
quickly than sheep raising. For the
past 20 years there has been a steady
decrease in the number of sheep in
this country. This is likewise true
of the whole world. Raising and sell
ing spring lambs bring the best re
turns and no great amount of capital
need be involved in the undertaking.
Native ewes may be purchased and a
purebred sire of one of the standard
mutton breeds mated with them not
later than the middle of September,
which will bring the lambs to drop
lit lore the middle of February.
During the fall and winter the ewes
should have abundance of grazing on
such crops as rye, vetch and crimson
clover, bur clover, rye alone, and if
cats and wheat have attained a rank
growth it will do no harm to graze
them on these crops. If ewes are in

tie grain during the fail and winter.
After lambs have begun to take ail
of their mother’s milk, ewes should
be put on luxuriant pastures. A creep
or pen into which the lambs can go
and the ewes can not, should be pro
vided, and in the creep put flat troughs
in which feed equal parts of corn, oats
and bran. By this method it should
be no trouble to make the youngsters
average 70 pounds each by May. The
ewes should average Hi lambs each.
On the basis of present market one
ccrnld expect to sell them at 10 cents
per pound as early lambs.
There is room for a small flock of
breeding ewes on every farm in Geor-<
gia.

Co-Operation In
Buying Farm Machinery
L. C. HART, Professor Of Agr. Engi
neering, Ga. State College Of Agr.
Many farmers of Georgia will never
be able to participate in the benefits
of some lines of farm machinery until
such machines have been purchased
co-operatively. For one farmer to buy
all of them would tie up too much cap
ital. It would not pay. But for sev
eral farmers to buy and get use of
such machinery, good profits will fol
low.
The purchase of threshing machin
ery, farm tractors, harvesting ma
chines, silo fillers, corn shredders,
etc., may be instanced. Special ef
fort is to be made by Agricultural En
gineering department of the College
to get farmers in communities to pur
chase farm machinery in this way.
Selecting A Location -
For An Orchard
J. W. FIROR, Field Agt. Horticulture,
Ga. State College Of Agriculture
Many people are preparing to plant
peach and apple orchards. At plant
ing time, the location of the orchard
is not always given the consideration
that it merits. At marketing time lo
cation is very, very important. How
well is the orchard located with refer
ence to railroad facilities? How far
from the loading station? What sort
of roads must be used to haul over?
These are the questions the orchard
ists should answer -before planting.
A large peach grower who was only
two miles from the loading station,
found, during a rainy season, that the
job of hauling the peaches from his
packing shed to the cars was tremen
dous. After the first few loads, the
roads became very badly cut up, later
they became almost impassable. There
are very few places where conditions
make it advisable to plant a peach
orchard over three miles from the
loading point. Apple orchards are
suited to more distant planting, but
usually four miles is the limit;
As long as there is an abundance
of suitable land near the railroads,
use it. The difference in price is very
seldom sufficient to justify the differ
ence in cost of hauling. Yet, the ac
tual cost of hauling does not tell the
whole tale. Cars move away from
the depot according to freight sched
ules and also come into the depot in
the same way. The orchard closest
has an advantage in getting his fruit
moved quickly, and this is of spe
cial importance with peaches.

Grave Damage To Pine
Timber In the South
J. B. BERRY, Prof. Forestry Georgia
State College Of Agriculture
Wherever one travels in the south
there is noticed small groups of dead
or drying pines. Often in midsum
mer the leaves turn yellow and fall,
leaving the trees bare. Asa rule this
damage is due to the southern pine
beetle (Dendroctonus fontalis), a
small beetle about a quarter of an
inch long, which penetrates the bark
and works in the cambium layer. If
enough beetles are present the tree
is girdled and gradually dies.
Following a summer cutting of pine
is the damage especially noticed. The
beetles are attracted from considera
ble distances by the odor of the fresh
ly cut wood and attack the surround
ing trees. The cutting of even one
tree in a group of pine is sufficient to
attract the beetles. Usually the work
of the beetles in standing timber is
confined to the upper portions of the
stem: on felled timber, it works on
the entire length of the trunk.
Damage may be greatly reduced by
restricting cutting of pine to the win
ter months when both trees and bee
tles are in a dormant state. If cut
ting in the summer is unavoidable,
the slashing should be destroyed by
firing. Beetles in infested timber may
be destroyed by peeling the bark and
burning it or by submerging the logs
in water and destroying the slashing.

spice, just a stroke of od
dity, just a whimsical&y!e
