STATE COLLEGE^AGMCVLTUU
THEIR SHORT COURSES MADE THEM MONEY
By President Andrew M. Soule.
Every state maintains an institu
tion to discover and disseminate facts
of utility to farmers. It was for this
reason that the State College of Agri
culture was organized and is support
ed as a child of the state. In order
that this institution may do its full
duty by the farmers of the state, it
has from year to year organized short
practical courses the first ten days of
the month of January. They offer
him an opportunity to secure at a
minimum of cost the necessary facts
on which to project his farm opera
tions on the heat practical basis for
the ensuing year.
There are courses In cotton Indus
try, live stock production, agronomy
and horticulture. Men are therefore
permitted to specialize along that line
in which they seek to become expert.
Instruction Is offered by the ablest
men on the College staff and is given
In the most simple and direct manner
possible, and illustrated by laboratory
and field demonstrations. Men who
have taken these courses have stated
CATARRH IN CHICKENS.
L. L. Jones, Professor Poultry
Husbandry.
Question —How would you prevent
or cure catarrh in chickens?
A chicken affected with a cold, or
catarrh, Bhould receive immediate at
tention, for while this disease in itself
Is not serious, it is liable to develop
into roup if neglected. Usually a
cold is caused by exposure during a
cold spell of weather, by draughts
of air over the birds while they are
on the roosts, by damp atmosphere
and wet weather, or by Improper
housing conditions.
In many cases the bird will get
well without doctoring if the condi
tions which caused the cold in the
first place are removed. A little red
pepper given in the mash often helps
them along. If the trouble Is more
serious the nostrils, eyes and mouth
should be washed out with a 3 per
cent solution of Boraclc acid. Or if
roup Is suspected dip the head of the
fowl in a 1 per cent, solution of po
tassium permanganate, holding It
there 20 or 30 seconds. Repeat this
treatment once or twice a day until
fowl is cured. A little work when
the trouble is first noticed may pre
vent a lot of work later when the dis
ease has a good start
that they saved several hundred dol
lars for an expenditure of $25.00,
about the amount required for travel
ing expenses and board to take one
of these short courses.
Will you continue in the old rut or
will you get out on the high new level
of attainment which science has
shown to be within the reach ct every
farmer? Will you become a regener
ated citizen inspired with a new pur
pose? You have an opportunity to do
so through taking advantage of these
courses especially prepared and offer
ed for your benefit and available at a
minimum of cost to every white stu
dent of the state over the age of six
teen who can read and write. Take
this matter up with your neighbor,
canvass your community, bring a club
of farmers to the short course. Os all
the Investments which you can make
as an individual or for your communi
ty, none will surpass this. This is
not a personal opinion, but is based
on the specific statements of men
who have been with us in the past.
BEEF GROWING ADVANTAGE IN
GEORGIA.
M. P. Jarnagin, Professor Animal
Husbandry.
Question —Can cattle be grown for
beef in Georgia as cheaply as in the ,
West?
The West can furnish grain cheap
er, but Georgia can produce more sil
age to the acre, get longer grazing
and more and better food from Ber
muda grass than is obtained from :
western grasses. The demonstrated
possibilities of corn-growing in Geor
gia show that even the West should
have nothing over it in that respect.
Georgia can now grow beef cattle as
cheaply as the grain states, but with
its full possibilities developed it
should have an advantage.
As an indication of how values can
be Increased in growing cattle for
beef, the State College of Agriculture
bought cows in South Georgia at sl7
per head and sold calves from these
cows at the average age of 23 months
on the Athens market for $44.99 each.
i
Benjamin Leath, the corn club
prize winner who has been taking a
course in agriculture, has been com
pelted to return to his home in Clark
county of ill health. He expects to
return to College.
