Value Os The Short
Course To The Farmer
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of
Agriculture.
New problems are constantly aris
ing in Georgia agriculture. In quite a
large part of the state the boll weevil
has at last appeared and promises to
enforce agricultural changes within a
year or two, if the farmer is not wise
enough to make the changes at once.
What shall be the farm program of
those dwelling in boll weevil terri
tory?
What shall be the farm program
outside of the boll weevil territory, in
facing tlie cotton prospects? These
are important questions. They should
be answered only after the fullest in
formation possible is obtained. A
thousand other perplexing questions
arise in the minds of progressive farm
ers who are trying to adjust them
selves intelligently to changing agri
cultural conditions.
Nowhere can the farmer receive so
much assistance in so short a time
to meet his particular requirements
as in attending a Short Course of a
College of Agriculture. The funda
mental principles on which the farm
er can base his reasoning in meeting
his problems, is provided at such
courses. Inquiry brings from experts
the accumulated experience of the
world about the very problems on
which the farmer may want informa
tion and prove the very thing to put
him on the highway of success. He can
learn how to curtail his expenditures
for fertilizers and yet get the greatest
possible crops. He can learn how to
determine the best reproducing seeds
according to the latest and best infor
mation. He can learn how to utilize
Critical Period
In Cattle Feeding
M. P. Jarnagin, Professor Os Animal
Husbandry, Georgia State Col
lege Os Agriculture
There is such a thing as a cow
losing more money living than dic
ing. Such a situation is likely to be
confronted when the pasture is cut
short by drouth or early winter, and
the animals are not given a chance
to hold their gains.
Supplemental feeding should begin
as soon as the animal stops making
satisfactory gains on the pasture. At
the College farm feeding in the pas
ture begins about November 1, at
which time shocked corn stalks, with
Grain Farmer Prospers.
Among the younger farmers of
Dickenson county, Va., none
have proved more of a success
than Wiley B. Trivitt. He began
farming on his own account in
1908, and not a year since that
he did not have grain, hay and
fodder to sell. Corn is his prin
cipal crop, though he grows oats,
millet, hay, potatoes, beans and
garden truck. He keeps live
stock, horses, cattle and hogs,
and handles as many cattle as
any farmer in the county. He
has a natural aptitude for grow
ing crops, and while others com
plain of bad seasons he keeps
steadily on the job. never grum
bling at adverse weather condi
tions. And he almost invariably
comes out to the good.—South

various legumes for the upbuilding of
soil fertility. At the Short Course
he can leant how to distinguish vari
ous types of soils in the state and
know something of their value for ag
ricultural purposes. Each year the
problem of farm labor becomes greater
and l'arnt machinery more necessary.
To get a look at all the leading kinds
and to have information from experts
at the Short Course is very important.
No matter how long cotton is grown
there is something new to be learned
about it. Pure seed and how to get
them, what varieties produce best,
what methods of cultivation have
proven best, what diseases and in
sects are to be combatted and how
and what a farmer should know about
cotton grading are all touched upon
in the Colton School of the Short
Course.
No farm can be operated economi
cally without growing a required
amount of livestock. What that
amount should be depends upon the
size and kind of farming undertaken.
Feeds and breeds, how to judge stock,
how to succeed with swine, dairying
and kindred subjects discussed at Un-
Short Course should interest every
farmer in the state.
A course in horticulture is offered
touching trucking, orchard manage
ment, diseases of fruit, insects ol
fruit, spraying and pruning.
The Short Course at the Georgia
State College of Agriculture will be
held January 4-15, 11)15, for which spe

ears removed, are scattered about on
the thin places of the pasture. By the
! middle of November cottonseed meal
at the rate of about a pound per
calf is put in troughs In the field. By
December 1 they go into the barn. A
daily allowance of 2\k to 3% pounds
of cottonseed meal, a little wheat bran,
15 to 20 pounds of silage and 4 to G
pounds of hay, is then fed to the
calves.
The breeding herd is carried on 2
pounds of cottonseed meal, 25 to 8
pounds of silage and G to 8 pounds
of oat straw. On this ration they go
through the winter in vigorous condi
tion for calving a month or 6 weeks
before being turned out to grazing.
To let the cheap summer gains he
lost by poor fall and winter feeding is
the best way to lose money on heel
