RAISE BEEF CATTLE
THE FARMERS' PATRIOTIC DUTY
Our country needs our Kelp now —our Government is begging
us to conserve what we have—to produce more food stuffs —to pro
duce more beef and better beef.
More beef and better beef; twice as much beef and thrice as
good beef can be produced with a little more attention and practi
cally no increase in cost by crossing native cows with a good Here
ford Bull.
The Hereford is not the only recognized breed of beef cattle—
it is the best breed of beef cattle.
A prominent South Georgia Farmer recently sold two pens of
cattle —one native steers 3 years old, the other half-breed Hereford
yearlings. The half-breed Hereford yearlings averaged more than
200 pounds higher in weight and brought over 3 cents a pound more
in price.
On the great beef producing ranges of the West there are five
Hereford bulls in use to one of all the other recognized beef breeds
of cattle combined. Don't you believe these great breeders and
producers know what they are doing?
Herefords are the best breed of beef cattle known and are
better adapted to conditions as they exist today in the Carolinas,
Georgia, Florida and Alabama, than any other breed.

Editor Progress-Argus: No doubt
Ihewheat and oat crop has been badly

had since the middle of December.
Oats that were sown broadcast were
most all killed, but where drilled
they are not hurt near so badly. I
don’t think the wheat crop is near so

Where the oats have been too bad

means to be resown; if the ground

now and the first of March. Seed oats
are high, it is true, but feedstuffs of

erything else. Where the land was
plowed and seeded to oats in the fall
they can be resown without stirring
the ground very deep. A day or two
of sunshine will dry the top of the
ground enough to put in oats with a
grain drill or harrow them in lightly.
Last year my entire oat crop
was killed about February Ist, and
about February 10th I resowed
them with a grain drill and sowed an
additional acreage. I made good oats
on all of them. Where it is not con
venient to use a drill they can be har
rowed in for spring sowing.
I hope to see an abundance of all
kinds of food crops planted this year.
During these unsettled times we
should not be lured away from the
safe and sane methods of farming by
the high prices of cotton. Many oth
er things are higher in proportion
than cotton. And there is a ready
market for all kinds of crops that can
be raised on the farm.
Aside from the well-known fact
that the safest way to farm is to laise
everything at home, it is a patriotic
duty that we owe to our country and
suffering humanity the world over, to
grow all the food crops we can. Nor
should any of us be swerved from
this duty for fear that some other

the liberal use of fertilizers, together
with proper rotation of crops, so

fellow is going to plant too much cot
ton and not do his part. Let each
and every one of us resolve that re
gardless of what the other fellow
may or may not do, we will do our bit
by planting an abundance of food
crops. “What profiteh it a man to
gain the v/hole world and lose his own
soul?” Or what would it profit us to
grow a big cotton crop to the neglect
of the necessary supplies to feed our
armies, and thereby’lose the war?
When so of our young men
are offering their all, even to life it
self, to their country, is it not little
enough to expect of those left be
hind that they will grow the necessa
ry food for them while they fight
their country’s battles?
We would like to see this move
take more tangible form this year
around our towns and cities. There
is enough cultivatable land within a
radius of one mile around every city
and town in Georgia if all planted to
food crops to feed the entire popula
tion of our towns and cities. So we
hope to see our progressive and pa
triotic urban friends who have the
advantage of a plentiful supply of la
bor and a market right at their doors
plant their fertile patches and fields
to food crops, and thus will their ex
ample spread to the whole country.

PROPORTION OF MEN IN HOS
PITALS LESS IN U. S. THAN
IN OVERSEAS FORCES
A recent comparison of health reports
from troops in the United States and
the Expeditionary Forces shows the
admission rate to hospitals to be
greater among the men in France.
Admission to hospitals in one week
in the Expeditionary Forces, figured
on a basis of 1,000 men, were 45.2;
in the United States the rate was 33.7
per 1,000 men. In the overseas forces
the non-effective rate (the total num
ber of men excused from duty for
any injury or ailment, whether or not
ordered to hospital) was 54.1 per
1,000 men; in the troops in the Unit
ed States it was 46.4.
