Steers Return
Profit To 4-H
Club Members
WALKER COUNTY YOUTH BE
GAN WITH ONE ANIMAL IN
1934 AND NOW HAS HERD
WORTH OVER $1,300
Lafeyette, Ga., Dec. 18.—In 1934
Frank Shattuck Jr., then an 11-
year-old Walker county 4-H club
member, embarked on a livestock
career, with one steer. The animal
won grand championship at the
Southeastern Fair and brought a
nice prize. With the profits and
prize money from this steer, Frank
bought his first purebred Hereford
heifer. He fed out a second steer
in 1936 and three steers in 1937.
Each time his profits and prize
money were invested.
Frank now has nine high class
registered Herefords in his herd,
which C. W. Wheeler, county agent
for Walker county, estimates are
worth $1,300.
Frank has graduated from high
school and is operating his father’s
farm. He is increasing his pasture
and improving it with the use of
phosphate and lime. He uses lime
stone and phosphate liberally on his
pasture and puts the greater por
tion of his cultivated land in hay
crops. He grows hay and grain and
feeds them to livestock for his
main cash crop.
Already Frank has 35 acres in
improved pasture and intends to
use an additional 35 acres for more
improved pasture. On his fertilized
pasture lie is now getting close to
8 months “good grazing.”
This farm youth has an ambition
to stay on the farm, and is being
encouraged in every way by his
county agent.
Livestock Profitable
For Georgia Farmers
Georgia farmers should produce
more livestock to meet home de
mands was the advice given today
by B. L. Southwell, livestock expert
at the Georgia Coastal Plain Ex
periment Station at Tifton. Geor
gians send out of the state each
year approximately $40,000,000 for
livestock products; all of which,
and more, too, could be produced in
Georgia and the $40,000,000 could
remain in the pockets of Georgians.
In a report delivered to the State
Board of Regents, Southwell recom
mended that livestock production
should be added to the farm as a
farm enterprise instead of a special
farm undertaking. More livestock
on Georgia farms means larger in
comes for Georgia farmers. Fur
thermore, the raising of livestock
restores fertility to the soil. The
best feeds for cattle and hogs are
generally the least soil depleting
crops. When we feed them grain
and roughage that is produced on
the farm, we are putting a big per
cent of the fertilizer value of the
feed back in the soil. When that
feed is sold off the farm, the fer
tility included in the feed goes, too.
Southwell advised farmers to
raise their own mules instead of
buying those raised in other states.
Some of the best mules in the state
are home raised. It is estimated by
authorities that Georgia farmers
spend the value of one cotton crop
out of every seven for the replace
ment of horses and mules on Geor
gia farms.
A successful livestock program
is dependent on permanent and
temporary pastures. We must learn
to grow grass rather than always
be trying to destroy it. Further
more, we should produce more oats,
wheat, barley, and rye. Farmers
were urged to feed cottonseed meal
and peanut meal to home raised
livestock rather than ship it to
other states to be fed to livestock
which, in turn, will be shipped into
Georgia.
The hogging-off system for the
raising of hogs is to be preferred
over other methods of feeding.
Southwell recommended that ma
ture oats be bogged-off in May and
June, early dent corn during the
summer and early fall, corn and
Spanish peanuts about the middle of
August, corn and soy-beans from
the middle of September, and run
ner peanuts and sweet potatoes In
the fall and early winter.
