■SILAGE IS TOPIC OF
OOfETTS COMMENT
This is the time of year for us to'
begin to think about what we are go
ing to feed our cows on next winter.
There is a time with most of us dur
ing tlie winter and early spring when
our cows need something that they
don’t usually get. In other words, they
don’t get enough to eat. Consequently
i they fall away in flesh and our milk
I supply is practically cut off.
Efery one knows that there is noth
ing better for milch cows (and beef
cattle as well), than something green
A good grass pasture is hard to beat,
during summertime but the grass won’t
last all winter. So through force of I
necessity, we are compelled to feed our
cattle something besides what they can
get in the fields.
Silage is the best substitute for
grass that has yet been discovered. We :
can produce more pounds of digestible j
food nutrient on an acre in the form ’
of silage than in any other way. The!
best silage is made of corn, sorghum 1
and corn, or sorghum and kaffir corn. ■
And it is not a hard matter to produce
i ten tons of this on an acre. Silage is
a very succulent feed, rich in carbohy
drates, and when balanced by a few
pounds of cottonseed meal or velvet
beans, makes a most excellent ration
for dairy or beef cattle.
A good concrete silo can be built for
around three dollars per ton capacity.)
and will last for generations, while|
wooden ones can be put up for from
one to two dollars per ton capacity,
and will give satisfactory service for
several years.
Every farmer who keeps as many as
twelve or fifteen cattle can afford a
silo. In fact, under the present con
ditions, I don’t see how he can well
afford not to have one. When once a
man feeds silage, he always afterwards
feeds it. which is evidence enough that
iit is good feed. Corn, planted for Sil-'
age, should be put in a little thicker
than we usually plant it, and well fer
tilized. A row of corn and one of red
top sorghum will give a little more
tonnage per acre than corn alone.
The corn should be cut just after it
ras passed out of the roasting ear
stage, when the grains begin to dent. !
The sorghum will be ready by this
time also. Yours truly
W. J. BOYETT.
County Agent.

PROSPECTING FOR OH. AND
GAS DEPOSITS IN GEORGIA
ATI-ANTA, Ga., March 22. That oil
and gas may be discovered in large
quantities in south Georgia is a prob
ability of increasing interest to scien
tists and prospects throughout the
country, as evidenced by the fact that
Dr. W. S. McCallie, state geologist, is
recieving a large number of inquiries
cn the subject.
In a recent report to the state geo
logical board. Dr. McCallie said: "I
would not be at all surprised to learn
ot the actual discovery of oil or gas in
south Georgia.”
Already extensive prospecting for oil
and gas is under way in several south
Georgia counties. A well is being bo> -
ed in Ware county, near Waycross, and
preparations are being made for a sim
ilar enterprise in Ben Hill. Wilcox
and .left Davis counties.

U. S. PROFESSORS AFRAID OF
BRA ZILIA N REVOLUTIONS
“ I
RIO DE JANERIO, March 22—Nitre
agricultural experts recently employed
in the United States by the Brazilian
Department of Agriculture, have just
arrived in Brazil.
According to the story told by Snr.
Oliveria Castro, the Brazilian govern
ment’s agent sent to employ the ex
perts he had extreme difficulty in find
ing men willing to go to Brazil because
of the prevailing idea in the United
States that revolutions were matters
of daily occurence. I
After a great deal of effort and re-'
peated assurances that revolutions
took place only in the story books and
not in actual Brazilian life, he indue-'
ed Professors O. T. Clawson, H. H.

T. Havre to leave with him on the
steamer “Minas Geraes.” (
When the “Minas Geraes” arrived ,n
Pernambuco, the first Brazilian port,
and as she hauled up to the docks
there was the sound of rifle firing with- j
in the city. There was great curiosity (
on board the ship, particularly among
the Americans, as to what the disturb- ■
ance meant. A venturesome ship’s of
ficer brought back the news that a'
revolution was in progress. It turned 1
out later that it was a mere celebra-'
tion over a minor election and nobody .
