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.

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.

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. MANY SILOS BEING BUILT IN GEORGIA The largest number of silos ever built in any one year in Georgia are being built this year.

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.
