Live Stock Progress
Being Made In Georgia
Tick Eradication And The Introduc
tion of Pure-Brsd Animals First
Steps Of Greatest Importance
(ANDREW M. SOULE, President Ga.
State College Of Agriculture.)
Remarkable progress has been made
in developing animal industries in the
South in the past few years. This has
been brought about by the general
campaign of education carried on by
the State Colleges of Agriculture and
their extension divisions and the vari
ous bureaus of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. I recall quite
distinctly when the proposition to erad
icate the cattle tick was considered a
Joke and yet there are forty-two coun
ties free of this pest In Georgia alone,
and in a comparatively short time the
whole state will have been cleaned
up. The prosecution of this campaign
by state and federal authorities
means a saving and an addition to the
average wealth of the state of Georgia
of fully one million dollars a year.
The introduction of pure bred sires
is changing the character and quality
of our beef cattle, not only in Geor
gia, but in the southeastern states as
well. About 1,600 pure-breds, mostly
of the beef types, were brought into
Georgia last year. You can appreciate
what a leve-ning influence they are ex
erting on our live stock industries.
Several years ago the College pur
chased scrub cows at $17.60 each and
crossed them with pure-bred sires.
The progeny from the third cross have
made steers weigning 1,400 pounds at
about thirty months. We have been
offered 10 cents a pound for some of
these animals, or $142.50 each. Com
paring this with the original price of
the dam, the infinite possibilities of
live stock production in the south are
well illustrated, provided we use the
right type of sire and develop pastures
of bermuda grass, bur clover, Italian
rye grass and Japan clover, and util
ize our forage and hay making legumes
such as corn and sorghum, and alfalfa,
cowpeas, velvet beans to proper ad
vantage. When our cotton lands are
devoted to the production of winter
oats and other cereals to supplement
our cotton seed meal, the state of Geor
gia will have two or three times its
present carrying capacity of live stock.
Die-Back Disease
Severe On Peaches
Many Georgia Peach Trees Seriously
Affected By Disease This Year,
Especially Less Thrifty
Ones
(T. H. McHATTON, Prof, of Horticul
ture, State College Of Agr.)
Die-back, a fungous disease has be
come more serious in Georgia peach
orchards this year than usual. It gets
its name from its characteristic way
of attacking tips of branches, causing
them to die back as the disease pro
gresses. Unchecked it often kills
trees. At this time it is felt wltn
special severity because of hardships
which the trees have suffered during
the last year or two from unseasonably
early and late freezes and by reason
of heavy demands upon the trees’ vi
tality by unusually large crops. The
weaker trees are suffering in many
orchards from the disease while the
more vital ones are resistant.
Pruning away infected parts Is rec
ommended. The pruning tool should
be disinfected after each severance
of a diseased limb. When very seri
ous, three sprayings with self-boiled
lime-sulphur should be made, the first
about September 1 and the last in
October.
Inexpensive Cotton Cultivation
(LOY E. RAST, Cotton Industry Dept.,
Ga. State College Of Agriculture.)
Shallow cultivation of cot
ton is economical, it con
tributes most to the growth of
the plant, it conserves the moisture in
the soil better than deep cultivation.
Deep cultivation with a plow common
ly used throughout the cotton grow
ing belt, : means unnecessary loss of
the moisture needed by the plants; it
means the disturbance of rootlets
through which the plant is feeding,
thereby robbing the plant of some of
its food, and it means plowing one
furrow at a time when the same en
ergy might be used to three or four
furrows at a time as deep as they
ought to be plowed.
Shallow cultivation not only means
rapid and inexpensive cultivation, but
it means that the planter can cultivate
more often. The oftener the cultiva
tion —if it be shallow —the more the
moisture is held for the plants and
the more they grow and the heavier
the fruit. More frequent cultivations
thus justify themselves with more
profitable returns.
During the past sj - ing there was a
drouth. Springs dn uths are coming
to be common. A very harmful prac
tice generally used in the cotton field
of Georgia is to “bar” off the cotton
before chopping it out. This means
that the cotton is left on a ridge with
a deep furrow on either side. It
means that the ground under and
around the cotton dries out in a
drouth and leaves the young plant in
poor shape if it does not die outright.
Had the soil been harrowed only, this
heavy loss of moisture would not have
occurred, the plants would have con
tinued to grow and so much replant
ing would not have been necessary.

The farmer who prows only one I
crop makes a mistake- —-and goes K
broke when that crop fails or there Bj
isn’t any market for it. Almost as great H
a mistake is made by the fruit grower who produces only B
kind as by the farmer who doesn’t add fruits to his crops. ■
Fruits judiciously selected, planted
properly and cared for right will be a
source of ready money. The farmer
w ho grows Rome peaches, pears, plums,
persimmons, etc., always can find a
cash market for most of these.
Diversify Your Fruit Growing
Has Been Griffing’s Watchword
Farmers who had learned to diversify
made money just the same when cot
ton could not be sold. Fruit growers
who had gotten away from the one
crop policy sold some of their other
fruit for good prices when oranges
were generally a drug in the market.
■ For years our Mr. C. M. Grilling has urged the importance of diversified fruit |

Even if one is making money on one
fruit grow n in quantities, the planting
of some olher kinds in smaller lots is a
w ise thing. Even orange growers have
sometimes made as much off other
fruits as from their groves.
Even though cotton and grain and
oranges now are in great demand,
don t forgot the lesson! Make your
plans now not to be caught again, no
matter what happens. Grow enough
things to sell some so long as anybody
is buying— and to live on afterwards.
