GEORGIA CATTLE
Prof. Milton P. Jarnagin, head
of the department of animal in
dustry of the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture, warns farm
ers of Georgia against selling cat
tie to packers who are now buy'
ing everything they can lay their
hands t n in the south to ship to
slaughter houses and convert in-
canned beef for the warring ar
mies of the world. One large
packing company has just ship
ped 10,500 cattle from south
Georgia and north Florida. They
are inferior cattle and are not
bringing top prices. They are,
however, suited for canning.
Prot. Jarnigan says that the
cuttle of the Bouth are worth vast-
‘y more as reproducers of their
kind than they can ever be as
canned beef, and that if care is
not exercised the boasted foUnda-
ti on for a live stock industry in
the south will disappear with the
cattle.cars. To sell the she-stuff
is to kill the goose that lays the
golden egg, or in other w ords,
make it impossible to reproduce
the traffic and revenue.
Not only has there been heavy
shipments by all the packing
houses on account of the canned
beef industry, but Prof. Jarnigan
says that the west and north are
still buying for beef and for
foundation for breeding stock
and are drawing heavily on sec
tions of the south.
On account of the depression
of'cotton the temptation to sell
she cattle as well as all others
has to be met. To lose the foun
dation of the future beef indus
try of the sou h would be the
most harmful blow that the war
could inflict upon the south, says
Prof. Jarnagin.

TO GIOTGIA FARMER?
Four measures are being reco
mended by the United States De
partment of agriculture to the
farmers of the South in order to
remedy the conditions created by
the collapse of the cotton market.
These are:
1. The reduction of expenses
by the production of more food
for the family and more grain
and forage for the live stock.
2. The substitution of other
money crops for part of the cot
ton acreage.
3. The raising of more live
stock.
The addition of humus to the
soil in order to make fertilizer
less expensive.
The first thing to be done, say
the government specialists, is to
plant winter crops to be used
partly for winter and spring-
grazing, partly for spring hay
and.'grain and partly for cover
erops to be turned back into the
soi| for fertilizing purposes.
These crops should include 'oats
for grain, and oats, barley of rye
for hay, and any one of these
for winter and spring grazing or
for humus value. Although Octo
ber and November are the best
months for planting these crops
in the cotton country, the time
may be extended into the winter.
The winter crop should be follow
ed by summer legumes such as
rowpeas, soy bsans, etc. Fall and
winter vegetables should be
planted for home use and for the
market.
Hogs are recommended as th<
best form of live stock to grow.
Immediate steps shouldibe takt n
to increase the profits from hogs
•nd hog products by the planting
f crops for winter’-and 'spring
grazing, to be followed by sum
mer and fall crops for the same
purpose. Growers are also being
warned to take rigid precautions
against h'g cholera. If strict
quarantine measures are adopted
and if.the’animals, when threat
ened, are inoculated with anti
cholera serum, growers should
suffer little loss from this source.
Hogs, however, can not bo
grown profitable when they have
to be fed on grain at §1 a bushel.
A succession of pasture crops is
therefore of prime importance.
For Georgia, rape, rye, vetch and
bur and crimson clover are reco-
mended with cowpeasj Bermudr
pasture, alfalfa, velvet beans,
-artichokes and, above all, pea
nuts to follow.
The chief difficulty in the way
of planting these crops is that all
available labor is now needed in
the cotton fields. This emphasizes
all the more the extensive use of
machinery and implements which
will minimize the need for human
labor and set the hands free to do
other Urgent work on the farm.
