The Boy From Next Door
V/OU used to see him swing gaily down the street, radiant with the vigor
A of his sturdy young manhood. One day he came home in khaki;
then his father told you, with mingled pride and foreboding, that he had
“gone across** with his regiment.
Yesterday his name was on the casualty list—“slightly wounded”
—and your face grew grave as you thought of the sorrow and suspense
of his father and mother.
From every city street, every village, every community, the boy
next door has gone to war.
Think of these thousands of splendid young Americans, reared in
comfort, peace, and security, now suddenly plunged into that
roaring inferno of battle with the hardened hordes of a desperately
determined foe.
What are you doing to help them ?
What are you doing to arm and protect them, and bring them
home in safety? Have you bought Liberty Bonds? Have you
bought all you possibly can?
Has it occurred to you that one more Bond, bought with a little
additional effort, may save the life of the boy from the next boor?

BUY ANOTHER BOND. THIS SFACE SUBSCRIBED TO WINNING THE WAR BY
THE JACKJOM PEOCMSa-AECUS. JACKJOM,
DEFUSE OF SORGHUM
IS (M CATTLE FEED
So a Feeding Test Held At Tal
mo, Georgia, Shows.
That sorghum refuse, called bagasse
Is a very cheap feed when combined
with cotton seed meal and velvet bean*
has been shown by a feeding test car
ried on by the State College of Agri
culture at Talmo last winter. The
bagasse was a by-product of the man
ufacture of sorghum syrup and gave
excellent results as a feed.
It was fed as a roughage for on*
hundred and ten days and in deter
mining the final results it was charged
at $5 a ton. The velvet beans were
charged at $24 a ton and the cotton
seed meal at $45 a ton. When all the
expenses had been paid there was a
profit of $3.53 a head and in addition
there were three hundred loads of
good stable manure worth approxi
mately three dollars a load.
The bagasse contained from 1.2 to
1.4 times as much digestible material
jis corn sorghum, and the fifty native
bred Shorthorn and Hereford steers
to which it was fed made an average
daily gain of 1.61 pounds per head for
the entire period. It proved to be an
excellent carbonaceous feed.
It has been well recognized for a
pumber of years that cottonseed meal
j |s a good concentrate for finishing off
beef cattle but (here has always been
■ a shortage of carbonaceous feeds for
boughage. In this feeding experiment
material that had formerly been al
lowed to go to waste was conserved
and proved itself to be a very cheap
pource for roughage for feeding with
puch concentrates as cottonseed meal
and velvet beans. Now since, Geor
gia is so well adapted to the growing
pf sorghum, and since there is a world
phortage of sugar, thousands of gal
lons of this syrup should be produced
find the refuse fed to dairy and beef
cattle, and not be allowed to go to
waste. —Editor State College of Agri-
