Georati STATE COLLEGE "AGRICULTURE | _■ A THIN* Gl't'J.'uM FEED COTTON SEED MEAL By President Andrew M. Soule. When the pastures begin to shorten, there is nothing cheaper or bettor to use than cotton seed meal to keep up milk production. The meal may be fed in the stable manger at milk ing time along with a small amount of cotton seed hulls or other dry roughness. The added Toughness in sures a better admixture with Hie di gestive juices and keeps the meal from adhering so freely to the man ger. Feed from two to three pounds of cotton seed meal to any cow weigh ing from 800 to 1,000 pounds and giv ing from one and a half to two gal ions of milk per day. The amount should be increased or decreased ac cording to the size ot the cow. A FOREST GROUND FIRES VERY IN JURIOUS. Alfred Akerman, Professor of Forestry. Inquiry—Are forest ground fires or leaf fires very injurious? Unquestionably ground fires are very injurious. Compared to the hu man family, the Injury to the seed lings and seeds of the forest by ground fires, is equivalent to killing the babies. No new generation of for est growth can be started so long as forest fires prevail. Second to the slaughter of the in fants of the forest, the greatest in jury comes of scorching (lie larger trees. The fire wounds thus made will show up in the lumber in the form of splotches or irregularities de preciating the value. The wound lowers the vitality of the tree and hence retards its general develop meat. The Injurious insects prefer to attack an injured tree and the fire wound invites the attack of fungi or rot. Next in the degree of injury in flicted by the fire, is to the soil by reason of humus being consumed along with the litter in process of turning into humus. Soil without hu mus is. of course, poor soil for supply ing plant food to growing trees After the fires, weeds, briers, sum ach and other growths thrive and tend to choke out reproduction. A community should turn out. to fight a forest fire as they would a the consuming a neighbor’s house.

Beef cattle cannot he successfully maintained on Georgia farms without suppimental feeding when the pas fares begin to fail in the fall.
