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.” THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA. JUNE 10, 1916. 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.
