Peanuts For Oil
And For Swine
John R. Fain, Professor Of Agronomy,
Georgia Statfe College Of Agriculture.
That there is now at least a limited
opportunity in the production of pea
nuts for oil for those who are not in
a position to graze the peanuts off
with hogs, is unquestioned. This will
certain last as long as present mar
ket conditions in oil prevail.
If the producer of peanuts can con
tract ahead for 75 cents per bushel or
above, he can figure a profit of some
thing like 15 cents per bushel based
on 40 bushels per acre at average
cost of production. If contracts can
not be made ahead for a definite price,
wherever possible, the farmer should
be in a position to graze the nuts off
with hogs, in case the price of nuts
at harvest time, does not make it prof
itable to put them on the market.
Estimates for the profitable produc
tion of pork can be based on 200
pounds of pork per acre. There are a
good many reports of as much as 1,-
000 pounds of pork per acre on pea
nuts, but 200 pounds can safely* be
taken as the minimum. If 000 to 800
pounds of pork can be obtained it will
give a larger profit than peanuts at
75 cfents sold to the oil mill.
One of the main differences between
grazing hogs and selling nuts to the
mill is the maintenance of the fertil
ity of the land. This is a most im
portant factor and it should be clear
ly kept in mind that where hay and
nuts are all removed the land will de
preciate in crop-producing power.
Where the hogs graze the peanuts the
and should increase in crop-producing
rower.
livestock Campaign
Quite Successful
•lilton P. Jarn.a,gin, Professor Of Ani
mal Husbandry, Georg,a State
College Of Agriculture.
The campaign for more and bet
er livestock which has been conduct
id in Georgia by the College of Agri
ulture in co-operation with the rail
cads, proved as great a success as
ould be hoped for. Practically the
>hole state was included in the itin
rary, every line of railroad being
ised. About 175 stops were made by
iie exhibit cars, the arrangement be
ng to make two stops a day. About
75,000 people visited the exhibits and
leard the speeches made by the ex
erts accompanying the exhibits.
All those who saw the exhibits know
nore today about what pure bred live
lock is, what different breeds are
aid their adaptability to local condi
ions than they ever knew before. Un
luestionably many have been led to
iesire pure-bred animals and many
lave already determined to have such
types of animals as their foundation
lor breeding. The ultimate outcome
T the campaign, therefore, will he a
; arge contribution to the improve
ment of livestock, the influence of
ivhich will continue indefinitely as the
effect of better breeds develops from
year to year.
This campaign would have been im
possible without the assistance of the
ailroads. They joined most heartily
•n the undertaking.
The exhibits of home-grown feeds
added conclusive arguments in favor
of the livestock industry in Georgia,
in fact, the conclusion which the cam
paign enforced with no room left for
doubt, is that Georgia affords splen
did opportunities lor livestock grow
ing.
Farmers Cautioned About
Phosphate -Lime Fertilizers
W. A. Worsham, Jr., Professor Of Ag
ricultural Chemistry, Georgia
State College Of Agriculture.
Requests have come to the College
of Agriculture information about
the value of phosphate-lime which is
£eing under attractive
trade names, and, ia £ waj-j *9 l- n( U‘
cate that the soil requirements for
phosphorus and lime can be obtained
very cheaply in this way.
The Department of Agricultural
Chemistry of the College makes the
following statement: “'From their ad
vertisement the reader would be led
to believe that the material is differ
ent from the finely ground phosphate
rock, commonly known as ‘floats.’ The
descriptions are such as would easily
lead the farmer to believe that the
lime in the phosphate material is ca
pable of correcting the acidity of the
soil —the purpose for which lime is
used. There are only three forms of
lime which can be used for correct
ing the acidity of the soil, burnt lime,
slaked lime and ground limestone. No
jther form of lime should be consid
ered by the farmer for this purpose.
The particular material which is be
ng advertised to supply both phos
horic acid and lime is a low grade
phosphate rock finely ground. It con
ains a relatively high percentage of
on and aluminum which is objec
onable. The lime contained in phos
hate rock and acid phosphate is of
o value for correcting soil acidity.
“Any one contemplating using roqk
hosphate should write the College for
circular recently issued on the use
of ground rock phosphate.”

Agricultural Moving j
Pictures In Georgia
J. Phil Campbell, Director Extension
Division, Georgia State Col
lege Of Agriculture
A moving picture outfit is now be
ing used by the Extension Division of
the Georgia State College of Agri
culture to convey messages of im
proved agriculture to rural Georgia.
An auto truck carrying the apparatus
is utilized for producing the power
that operates a dynamo which, in turn,
provides the light for the moving pic
ture machine. The power is suffi
ciently strong to make as good a
light as~~can be found in any moving
picture theater.
This 'enables the College to go out
into the country and show pictures in
school houses, and reach many peo
ple who never yet have seen a moving
picture. No difficulty is met in getting
crowds, and, of course, a splendid op
portunity is afforded for bringing to
bear a message, which doubtless,would
not be obtained in any other way—
upon a whole neighborhood at one
time and in one place.
Exhibitions are given both day and
night, thus giving opportunity of
reaching two neighborhoods a day.
Arrangements are made in advance
with the county superintendent of
schools, who designates the schools
where the exhibition is to be made
and assists in making proper an
nouncements. Where a county dem
onstration agent is located he will also
have a part in lecal arrangements.
The moving picture outfit began op
erating in south Georgia and will
move gradually northward. Of course,
it will be impossible to go into every
school house in the state or even
reach every county in the state soon.
Thinning Fruit is Profitable
T. H. McHatton, Professor Horticul
ture, Georgia Str.te Coliege Of
Agriculture
If after the young fruits drop—usu
ally in May—there remains too many,
thinning should be practiced. Thin
by hand, a stick is not discriminat
ing. Thin peaches when about the
size of the thumb, before the stone
hardens. Leave peaches 4 to 6 inenes
apart on tree, the distance depending
upon the size of the fruit when ma
tured. They must not touch.
Apples should be thinned after the
“drop,” and when the apples are be
tween a quarter and a half dollar in
size. Only one to a cluster should be
left.
Depending upon the size of tree and
set of fruit, it will cost from 5 cents
to 25 cents to thin a tree.
The advantages of thinning are,
a thinned tree does not break down
because the apples are better distrib
uted over it; the loss of fruit is little
or nothing while the quality and quan
tity of large fruit is greatly increas
ed, and the returns greater. Thinned
trees set a better crop of fruit for
the next year. Fungous diseases are
not so destructive because fruits are
not allowed to touch each other. Be
cause of thinning the poor fruit is
handled and gotten out of the way
before the rush cf the harvest season
when otherwise the poor fruit would
have to be handled and sorted. The
thinned fruit can be fed to the stock.
Veterinary Degree Course
Offered at Agricultural Col.
Beginning with' the scholastic year ,
of 1916-17, the Georgia State College
of Agriculture will offer a degree
course in Veterinary Medicine lead
ing to the degree D. V. M. This will
be the first institution to offer such
a degree in Georgia, and is provided
in answer to an increasing demand
within the state for veterinarians. A
number of young men of Georgia have
been compelled to go to other states
to get their veterinary degrees at con
siderable cost which can now be sav
ed by attending a state institution.
The College has a splendid start
in the way of equipment for present
ing the w r ork of a veterinary degree
course. Work i£ veterinary science
has been offered heretofore, and for
this there has been excellent provi
sion made. Recently one unit of the
veterinary building has been complet
ed which increases the advantages
materially. The veterinary hospital is
quite adequate and well equipped for
the work. The teaching staff is
strong. This new course of the Col
lege of Agriculture is believed to be
in response to a definite demand and,
as a consequence, success is antici
pated. A special announcement of
the course has been issued which can
be obtained upon request.
SHIPPING WATERMELONS.
J. W. Firor, Junior Professor Of Hor
ticulture, Georgia State College
Of Agriculture.
One of the greatest causes of un
satisfactory returns from watermel
ons is the shipping of small and poor
quality melons to markets which can
only be reached with heavy freight
cost. Only high quality melons of
good size should go to such cities. It
is better to keep small melons and
poor quality stuff in general at home
and feed to hogs than to ship to mar
ket and get nothing for them. Water
melon growers will do well to keep
«a><i ns« fact in mind.
