Fain, Professor Of Agronomy, Georgia State College Of Agrxulture. 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 hushel or abo we, he can figure a profit of some thing like 15 cents per bushel based on 40 bushels pej- acre at average cost of production. If contracts cau not be made ahead for a definite price, whenever possible, the farmer should be ir 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 206 pounds of pork per acre. There are a good many reports of as much as 3,- OOC pounds of pork per acre on pea nuts, hut 200 pounds can safely be taken as the minimum. If 600 to 800 pounds of pork can be obtained it will give a larger profit than peanuts at 75 cents 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 he clear ly kept is mind that where hay and nuts are all removed the land will de preciate in crop-producing power. Where the Logs graze the peanuts the land should increase in crop-producing power. Livestock Campaign Quite Successful Milton P. Jarnagln, Professor Of Ani mal Husbandry, Georgia Slate College Of Agriculture. The campaign for more and bet ter livestock which has been conduct ed in Georgia by the College of Agri culture in co-operation with the rail roads, proved as great a success as could be hoped for. Practically the whole state was included in the itin erary, every line of railroad being used. About 175 stops were made by the exhibit cars, the arrangement be ing to make two stops a day. About 175,000 people visited the exhibits and heard the speeches made by the ex perts accompanying the exhibits. All those who saw the exhibits know more today about what pure-bred live stock is, what different breeds are and their adaptability to local condi tions than they ever knew before. Un questionably many have been led to desire pure bred animals and many have already determined to have such types of animals as their foundation for breeding. The ultimate outcome of the campaign, therefore, will be a large contribution to the improve ment of livestock, the influence of which will continue indefinitely as the effect cf better breeds develops from year to year. This campaign would have been Im possible without the assistance of the railroads. They joined most heartily in 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 yaign enforced with no room left for tfeubt, Is that Georgia affords splen did opportunities for livestock grow ing. We have made arrangements for an unlimited amount of mon ey to loan at a very rate of inter est to the land owners of Coffee county.

Almost as great H ’ a mistake is made by the fruit grower who produces only H Updone kind as by the farmer who doesn’t add fruits to his crops. ■ ... Fru it s judiciously selected, planted properly and eared for right will be a source of ready money. The farmer who grows some peaches, pears, plums, persimmons, etc., always can find a cash market for most of these. Diversify Your Fruit Growing Has Been Grifliag’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. Griffirig has urged the importance of diversified fruit F growing as well as diversified farming. In the catalogue be has published anJ K DOUGLAS TRAIN SCHEDULES A. B. & A.

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