Crop Acreage For One-Horse Farm Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture. Field and Food Crops. On the average one-horse farm in the South there should be planted in 1917: 5 acres in corn and velvet beans. 6 acres in cowpeas for hay, to be followed by winter oats. 6 acres in cotton. 5 acres in peanuts to be crushed for oil or grazed down by hogs. 1 % acres in sweet potatoes to be followed by winter cover crops. 1% acres in alfalfa or crimson clo ver, cowpeas or soy beans. 1 acre in rape, oats, vetch, cow peas or soy beans. 1 acre in truck crops followed by hay or grazing crops for hogs. 10 acres should be set aside for pasturage for cows and hogs, acre in orchards. % acre in garden. Total cultivated land, 26 acres. Animals Which Should Be Maintained. 1 good horse or mule (work stock). 2 milk cows. 1 calf. 1 yearling (slaughter for meat). 2 brood sows. 60 hens. 67—Total. These should be maintained on ev ery one-horse farm in order that the family may be properly supplied with the necessary milk, butter, meat, chickens and eggs. This plan should be adjusted or mod ified by the proper committees having the food supplies in charge in the re spective states to meet local condi tions. World’s Food Supply Deficient J. P. Campbell, Dir. of Ext., State Col. Os Agri., Athens, Ga. The following statement by David Lubin, American Representative to the International Institute of Agricul ture, is of vital concern to the Ameri can people, and Georgia farmers should do their share to relieve the tense situation. Associated Press Dispatch. Rome via Paris, April 5. "For the first time in many years there exists a deficit in the supply of corn, wheat, rye, barley and oats, esti mated at a total of 130,000,000 bushels less than the normal requirements for countries open to trade. The situation is worse than was expected last October.’’ Who is going to feed Georgia this year? The West has been feeding the State to the extent of about $85,000,- 000 per year. Congress has declared that a state of war exists with Germany. This calls for an army of a half million to a million men who must" be fed. The Western supply which has been coming to Georgia will necessarily be diverted to feed our army as well as the army of the Allies The following statement by Asst. Secretary Vrooman of the United States Department of Agriculture be fore the Cattlemen’s Association in Atlanta, Georgia, April 5, is emphatic: "The most important question con fronting us is this: Feeding our ci vilian population, our army and navy and the armies of our allied powers. Unless the South grows food crops in abundance, —in greater quantities than this section has grown at any time in its history, the South —-like Germany,—faces starvation.” It may be a little late —but not too late —for the farmers to consider se riously more crops for food and feed etuffs. The boys and girls should be en couraged to join corn, pig, canning poultry and other agricultural clubs. Conserving products raised, es pecially by canning and preserving perishable fruits and vegetables. Save the breeding stock, as these will be at a premium, not only during the interval of the war, but immedi ately afterwards. Help your neighbors to secure planting seeds and fertilizers. Farmers should undertake to feed, not only themselves, but their city neighbors. City folks should buy the local farmers' products in preference to imports. This is a Patriotic duty as well as a necessity. We have the authentic information from the U. S. Department of Agricul ture, that with the western supplies diverted, there is a possibility of Georgia suffering from hunger be fore Christmas. Unless we meet the emergency, Georgia will be a weakness to the na tion in this war. It is also pointed out by President &oule that it may be impossible dur ing the progress of the war to secure the transportation of cotton to the eastern markets. Consequently, the United States could manufacture only about seven millions bales and the price of cotton would likely drop to a. low rate. Call on the county agent when he can be of service to you in suggest ing what, when and how to plant many garden and field crops. Rule Nisi. Mortgage Foreclosure. State of Georgia—Montaromery County.
