GEORGIA’S CORN TO
EXCEED ALL RECORD
FAVORABLE AUGUST WEATHER
STIMULATED GROWTH OF
NEARLY ALL CROPS
STATE NEWS OF INTEREST
Brief News Items Gathered Here And
There From All Section Os
The State
Atlanta.—Favorable weather during
August stimulated growth of all crops
excepting cotton, and September Ist
found nearly every crop as good or
better than the ten-year average of
condition. Apples are woefully short,
but peaches have established a new
high record for quantity, while the
quality was of the kind that has
brought renown to Georgia. Corn and
cotton are also making history this
year. The corn crop promises to be
the largest since records have been
kept; and the cotton prospect is the
shortest in thirty years. Cotton is
basic in Georgia. Optimism always
follows a good price, and just now
the farmers are saturated with opti
mism, for in thirty days they have
witnessed their great money crop in
crease In value nearly $30,000,000. In
dications are that more debts will be
canceled and more improvements
started than was thought possible one
month ago. Forage crops for the
most part are so good in condition
as to leave little to be desired. The
number of hogs for fattening com
pares favorably with the number
about September 1 a year ago.

Weems, of Miami The raid was
mado by Prohibition Agent Walter
Emory and Deputy Marshal Sam

five gallons of whiskey was found in
the room, it is said. Weems, it is

CULL OUT BOARDER HENS AND
SURPLUS COCKERELS IN FLOCK
Hen on Left With Well-Developed Abdomen Indicates She Was Laying,

Laws against vagrancy have been

But a hen may go cackling around
for months or years, and never lay an
egg, and the owner be none the wiser
unless lie keeps up to modern ideas of
poultry management and culls Ills
flock occasionally. While culling
should be continuous throughout the
year In any well-conducted plant, the
best time to emphasize the operation,
perhaps, is during August and Septem
ber, according to the teachings of ex
perts of the United States Department
of Agriculture. That is to say, if you
Intend to make Just one culling in the
year then August or September should
he your date.
It Is easier then to make a close
estimate of the relative value of a hen
as an egg producer and to weed out
the poor producers. Hens which show
Indications of laying or are laying and
have not molted usually are the ones
that have been the better Inyers dur
ing the entire season, and the lion that
lays best during her first year usually
will lay well during the second and
third years. She Is the hen to keep.
It is not advisable, though, to keep
liens of the heavier breeds, such as
Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds,
and Brahmas, beyond their second
year, or of the smaller breeds, such
as Leghorns and Anconas, beyond
tlieir third year, as they seldom prove
profitable.
In addition to culling the entire
flock in August and September, you
should always watch for hens that are
sick or very thin in flesh, or that show
signs of weakness or low vitality.
When discovered cull them out at
once. It will pay.
Keep Only Healthy Hens.
Culling properly means using sev
eral tests, all fairly accurate if intel
ligently and carefully applied. For
this reason It is wise to send for De
partment Circular 31, which may be
had upon application to the Division
of Publications, Department of Agri

HEAVY PASTURING IS
FAVORED BY EXPERTS
Best Results Are Obtained by
Continuous Grazing.
Experiments Conducted at Different
Stations Show That Pastures Are
Being Utilized to One-Half
Their Capacity.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
For every 100 acres of other crops
on farms in the United States, say ex
perts of the United States Department
of Agriculture, there are 91.5 acres of
pasture, of which about one-third is
listed as “improved pasture.” Corn
is the only crop that exceeds in acre
age improved pasture.
Some years ago an amplfe series of
experiments on typical blue-grass pas
ture was conducted by the department
co-operatively with the Virginia ex
periment station. These experiments
showed clearly that heavy pasturing
resulted In twice the returns that light
pasturing as generally practiced gives.
Furthermore, after heavy pasturing
the pastures were In much better con
dition. Alternate grazing showed no
advantage over continuous grazing.
The results show clearly that pastures
in general are being utilized only to
one-half their productivity, and that
this light pasturing is to their detri
ment. Comparable results were later
obtained In North Dakota and In Utah.
The prejudice against heavy pastur
ing Is due partly to the desire of the
farmer to avoid the possibility of a
shortage of pasture and partly to the
idea that heavy pasturing is Injurious
to the grass. Sacrificing half the
value of the pastures Is a much more
costly insurance than, a reserve of hay
ly, the hens to cull are those that are
sick, weak, inactive, lacking in vigor,
poor eaters, with shrunken, hard, dull,
or whitish-colored combs; with thick,
stiff pelvic bones that are close * to
gether; small spread or distance be
tween rear end of keel and pelvic
bones; full, Ann, or hard abdomen;
and those that have molted or started
to molt In August or September. In
breeds having yellow legs and skin
the discarded hens should also show
yellow or medium-yellow legs, yellow
beaks, and yellow skin around the
vent.
The hens to be kept should be
healthy, vigorous, active, good eat
ers, with plump, bright-red combs;
large, moist vents; thin, pliable pelvic
bones spread well apart; a wide
spread between pelvic bones and rear
end of keel; large, soft, pliable abdo
men ; and neither molted nor molt
ing in August or September. In
breeds with yellow legs and skin
the hens you keep should also show
pale or white legs and pale or white
beaks and vents.
As soon as the culling is finished
all the hens you have discarded should
be marketed at once. It doesn't pay
to keep one. Cock birds not wanted
as breeders should be canned, eaten,
or marketed immediately. Cockerels
saved for breeding should be vigorous,
strong, active, and alert, and should
be those that have grown most rapid
ly and developed the best. No bird
lacking these qualities will be a good
breeder.
Pullets that are weak, undersized,
and poorly developed also should be
eaten, canned, or marketed, as they
will not be profitable producers; but
no thrifty, well-developed pullpts
should ever be disposed of in this
way, because it is these pullets when
kept for layers and breeders that will
net the greatest profits.
Late Molters Best for Breeders.
The molt probably is the best and
most easily applied test of production.
Hens cease laying completely Or al
most entirely during this period. The
better producers lay late In the fall,
and therefore molt late. Late molters
also molt rapidly as a rule, while early
molters molt slowly. Therefore the
advice is to save hens which have not
molted by August or are only just be
ginning late in September or in Oc
tober, and discard those that have fin
ished molting or are well Into the
molt. Hens that molt latest, provided
they are other!wse desirable, are the
best to save for breeders.
or silage, and besides the old grass
In humid regions is eaten by animals
only to prevent starvation. Over
grazing of a creeping grass that will
injure the stand is not possible as
long as there is sufficient to fill the
animals’ stomachs; on bunch grasses
it is quite otherwise, as these can be
destroyed by over-grazing.
RIGHT TIME TO CUT TIMBER
Disease and Insects Do Not Attack
Wood Out of Doors During
Winter Weather.
Timber cut in late fall and winter
seasons more slowly and with less
checking than during the warmer
months, and when proper storage or
handling Is impracticable, winter cut
ting is best. Fungi and insects do not
attack wood out of doors in cold
weather, and by the tlrfie warm weath
er arrives the wood Is partly seasoned
and somewhat less susceptible to at
tack. It Is for these reasons that win
ter cutting Is advantageous, and not
on account of smaller amount of mois
ture or sap in the wood in winter, as
the popular belief has it. There is
practically no difference in moisture
content of green wood in winter and
summer.
