Georgia Roughage For State Demands
Preo. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
Of the frame If yon expect to win. Too
can do tlmt by patronizing ns when
rou need printing.
We do all kinds. Our prices
rfre right too.
Turning from a cotton regime to
trowing at least a homo supply ot
roughage, what can the average Geor
gia farmer produce easiest? Among
the crops that can bo successfully
grown for hay are oats and vetch,
wheat and vetch, rye, vetch aud crim
son clover, crlmsou clover singly, cow-
peas, soy beans, cow peas with Bor-
gbum or millet, sorghum sown broad
cast and thickly, and corn. 'To grow
grussesr alfalfa and other hay crops
Is moro difficult and should ho ontor-
od into gradually.
Every funner In Georgia can grow
enough of one or moro of tho com
binations mentioned to supply his
home'demands and Imvo some to Bell
to tho live stock owner in the city
and town. Every crop mentioned pro
duces heavily and comparatively little
acreage will be needed to meet all
of Georgia's demands for roughage.
Oats and velch afford a combination
equal If not superior to any other crop
growu for liay during the winter sea
son. Cow peas alone but proforably
cow peas sown with millet produce
a luxuriant pasturo as a summer
growth. Sorghum alone or In com
bination with cow peas, provide u
splendid summer hay crop. When
sowu alone It should ho sown thickly
so that/ lllo stalk will he as small
us possible.
When corn Is gathered nt the right
time and shredded It forms a rough-
age neurl.v equal to timothy In feeding
value. This valuable feeding mate
rial Is very generally allowed to go
to wusto in the South.
Ot. course many legumes do well In
Georgia, but a legume hay fed with
out association with other rouglmge
makes too rich a protolu food, and
llvo stock do not do so well on it.
Georgia need not ho dependent upon
the west for hay. It can and should
grow Its own roughage. Many times
more animals can ho supported bn
linmd-grown' feeds than are now ho-
ing raised. The more animnls fed,
tho moro ferttlo'tho acres will ho and
the more permanently successful will
be the agriculture of the state.
This Is the year to begin to grow
nil tho feed for the animals on the
farm, and the time to grow vastly
more ot human food than has ever
been grown In Goorgln.
Georgia Mares Could
Raise Georgia Work Stock
Milton P, Jarnagln, Professor Of Ani
mal Husbandry, Georgia State
College Of Agriculture
According to statistics which have
lust been Issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture, there wero
125,000 horses in Georgia at the be
ginning of tho present year. It is
reasonable to figure that one-half of
these are females. It Is also within
the bounds of reason to figure tliat
these mares are capable of a 60 per
cent breeding record.
If the marcs ulready in Georgia
were bred, It would bo possible to
raise annually 37,500 colts. As a
matter ot fact the government sta
tistics referred to show that thoro
were only about 3,000 colts raised In
Georgia Inst year, which moans that
only about ten per cent of the mares
In Georgia were bred.
Counting both librses and mules,
there Is In Georgia now 434,000 head
of work stock. That being the re
quirement and counting that It Is nec
essary to repurchase about every ten
or elevon years, It Is apparent that
tho mures already in Georgia could
foal enough animals to meet the de
mand. Therefore Georgia already has
the foundation for breeding Us own
liorso demand. It is capable of stop
ping the $12,000,000 annual outgo from
tho stnte for work stock, If It will
only breed the mares it bus on hand.
What then Is necessary to at oncp
Increase the colt production In Geor
gia ten times what It Is and thus meet
the stated demands? The purchase
of a fow pure bred or high class sires,
their distribution over the state 'at ad
vantageous points. Then with an op
portunity at hand to breed, no owner
of a mare ought to be so foolish
as not to make use ot it.
Now is the time to make appla...
tion so abstract of title ina.v be
made, checked and farm inspect-
d.
If you do not want loan closed
until l'ali, this work Lhoulcl be
done now anyway before the fall
rush is on.
Loans made on 6 years time at
lowest rales of interest on well
improved farms.
