Use Of Fiery Cross In Scotland.

early days died when the fiery

In emergencies two runners of
clan were each given a fiery cross'
sent out through the countryside,

fresh runner took the cross and

l
FARM OUTLOOK FOR
GEORGIA IN 1939
By Georgia Agricultural
Extension Service.
(Continued From Last Week.)
HOGS.
The supply of hogs for slaughter
during the present marketing season,
(Oct. 1, 1938-Sept. 30, 1939) 'will be
materially larger than the supply
available during the past marketing
season. Slaughter during the current
season is expected to exceed the
slaughter in any year since 1933-34,
but still will be about 15 per cent less!
than for the ten-year average pre- j
ceding the 1934 drought,
Domestic demand for hog pioducts,
which includes demand for immediate
consumption, as well as for storage
purpose.?., will be more favorable than
dui’ing the past season. Foreign de
rnan for hog products may also be a
little stronger. The combined effect
tof increased domestic and foreign ds
mand, however, will not be strong
enough to offset the effect of heavily
increased supplies, and the net result
will piobably be lower average prices
i n 1938-39 than in 1937-38.
The spring and fail pig crops, pro
duced in 1938, will total about 12
per cent larger than the crops of
1937. The increased bog production in
1938 is the result of the production of
ample feed supplies in 1937, and low
com prices in relation to the price of
hogs during the past year. This re
lationship is expected to continue
during the current season, and a fur
ther increase in the number of pigs
produced in 1939 is likely to result.
The increased pig production in 1939
over 1938, however, will probably be
! somewhat less than the increase in
jggg over
Georgia still does not produce
enough hog products to supply its
own needs.. The expansion in hog pro
duction now' under way in this state
is thoroughly justifiable and should
continue as rapidly as home grown
i feeds are made available.
WATERMELONS.
The 1939 watermelon acreage in the
second early group of states, which
includes Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas and Arizona, is ex
pected not to exceed the acreage
planted in 1938. The prospects for
1939 in the states Within this group
ar? somewhat mixed, due to the var
led success experienced in 1938. Re
turns in Georgia and neighboring
southeastern states were disappoint
h>g in 1938, and it is likely that the
acreage in 1939 will be about the same
or possibly less than in 1938.
Even with no increase in acreage,
however, production in 1939 may be
expected to be larger than in 1933
since 1938 yields were considerably
less than average. The average num
ber of melons produced per acre is
normally from 225 to 250, whereas in
1938 the average yield in the second
early group of states was only 188
per acre.
Present indications are that Geor
gia watermelon producers will receive
greatest returns from an acreage
about the same or somewhat less than
in 1938.
(Continued Next Week.)
Famous Mangrove Swamp.
One of the largest mangrove swamps
in the world is in the southwestern
Everglades. In places the forest ex
tends five or more miles inland. The
soils here are mostly raw, fibrous
peat, frequently over 12 feet deep, in
dicating that organic debris has ac
i cumulated over a long period. It is
j probable, says a Carnegie report, that
many thousands of formerly small
mangrove islands of the region grew
; together to form mangrove land,
thereby pushing further and further
into the Gulf of Mexico.
The man who is always suspicious
of otii -s is seldom worthy of Uust
himself.
