On motion the chairman is hereby instructed and authorized to

*'Georgia Laws of 1910 Page 269.- i
‘Sec. 1.—Be it enacted by the general assembly, that after tne
Plant any one of the following va
rieties of peas ns soon as danger of
frost Is puBt: Iron, Brabham, Now-
Era, Warren’s Extra Early, Whlppor-
wlll, clay or Black. The proforenco
Is In the order named, if planted us
soon us danger of frost is past on land
which Is In fair couditlon and where
reasonable skill In. fertilisation has
been exercised, you should bo able to
got a crop of hay oft tho land, nnd
have sufficient aftormalh volunteers
to produco a fairly good crop of grnln,
or quite ]a satisfactory crop of liny,
or, bettor stm, a considerable amount
of grazing for hogs or cattle, In oth
er words, In our oxperlonco It has
boon possible from one planting of
peap to niako from ono and a half to
three tons of hay per'aero on good
land and then gather from ion to fif
teen bushels of pons. Tho second
crop or aftermath,' as a rule, .docs
not make a big- growth and a lnrgo
amount of vine, hut tho pons sot on
freely and produco a surprisingly
largo amount of gralfi.
Inoculate tho peas. You can bocui-o
cultures for this purpose free of cost
from tho bureau of plant industry,
United Slates department of agricul
ture,'Washington, D. C. Plant in drills
twenty-four laches upnrt. This will
onnble one lo ( cultlvnto tho crop
lightly until It spreads and covors tho
ground. In this way- ono can econo
mise on tho good nnd bocui-o a lnrgor
return per acre. At least wo havo
found this to be true In our own ex
perience. Wo advise tho usq of 301)
lo 400 pounds of quid phosphate under
tho peas at tho time of planting. Wo
think It will pay' you to use from
1,000 to 2,000 pounds of pulverized
lime rock per acre. - Tho lime should
ho put on after tho-ground has been
plowed and should bo harrowed In.
Do not mix it with, fertiliser, hut ap
ply it about two weeks before plant
ing tho crop.
Plans For The Feeder Of
One To Five Beef Cattle
Milton P. Jarnagln, Prof. Animal Hus
bandry, Ga. State Col. of Agr.
Co-operating with tho county farm
demonstration agents the Collogo of
Agriculture Is enlisting fanners
throughout tho state in fattening cat
tle for beef, undertaking especially to
get the small former who may have
from' ono to llvo cnttlo to fatten, to
take up the work on a systematic ba
sis. Tho demonstration agent finds
tho farmer who will undertake to fat
ten one or moro cattle, gets enough
cattle in a community to rnako a car
load shipment and assists In market
ing them to the best ndvnntugo when
they are ready to sett.
Instructions are sent out ns lo how
to put best’ cattle on feed and what
ations to provide until finished for
the market. Beef experts of tho Col
lege doing field work will visit and ad
vise the farmers from time to time,
farmers will be urged to use any
kind of animal available, (he hope be
ing that when tho farming has started
into feeding cattle for beet' that lie
will he Interested sufficiently lo pur
chase anil broad beat types.
For the farmer with one to five cat
tle to fatten, tho Collogo Is advising
tho planting of sorghum in rows;- so
that it can be cultivated and pro
duco well. This is to bo U30d r.s tho
chief roughage.
Corn stover and oats straw
will be recommended as an additional
feed In that lino while cotton seod
meal will bo relied upon as tlio con
centrate. With such a ration, it Is
believed that beef can bo fattened
ns cheaply nnd an well ns anywhere
in tho United States.
Where tho nearby market is not. tho
best, It la proposed to havo enough
ell cotton
with no'difficulty.

The important place that cotton

It Is true that our pastures have

favored locations where wo can
grow blue grass and red clover, em
phasis should bo laid on their culti

Bermuda should bo utilized for sum

Tree Seedlings For
Reforestering In Georgia
B. Berry, Professor Forestry, Geor
gia State College Of Agriculture
The development of a Forest Garden
has been started at the College with
view to eventually establishing a
forestry nursery equal to supplying
the needs of Georgia In reforestering
Its- worn-out iind gullied fields, and
for starting forests on a commercial
basis, the' idea being to supply seed
lings at cost, which will be quite low.
Tho construction of the nursery seod
bods Iiub boen done by students ns a
part of class or laboratory work. Their
planting and care also devolves upon
the student, thus affording them nurs
ery experience. How to plant trees
on eroded soli 1b also a. part of tho
Instruction.
A variety of willow suited to mak
ing baskets and furniture Is being
grown. The purpose Is to cut the
crop of willows each year for use of
students who havo a basketry work
shop to assist in paying the expenses
of their college course.
Summer Forest School
J. B. Berry, Professor Of Forestry,
Ga. State College of Agriculture.
Plans have been completed for hold
ing a summer session of the School
of Forestry at Freedom Dodge Forest,
near Blue Ridge, Georgia, from June
21 to August- 21. The camp will bo,
located In the heart of tho mouniain
forests on tho Ocoee river. The
course is open not only lo students
of the regular course in forestry at
the College, but to any >yho want; lo
take up forestry, acquire some of its
principles, or combine naturo sttldy
and a Hummer’s outing. It will-’be
helpful to high school teachers.
The school will bo held in tents
and camp life will bo the order, but
for thoso who may desire, accommo
dations in houses as well as board
can ho had conveniently near. Den
drology," surveying, ornithology, men
suration, silviculture, camping prac
tice, geology, zoology, forest botany
and special lectures aro offored. The
most interesting and practical phases (
will be handled.
Thoso who desire lo attend the
school should write for an announce
ment of the Summer Camp.
