Farmers Here Advised * v • j }
To Arrange F or Their I

Farmers will be wise to arrange
f or their lespedeza seed at once, S.
E George, County Agent, said this
.
wee k. There will be a big demand

small grain land.
Like any other crop seed, the Ex- j
tension Service agent continued,!
lespedeza seed should be of the best
quality if good stands are to be!
secured. This means the germina- j
tion and purity should be high, the;
noxious weed content and inert
matter such as leaves, stems and
empty seed coats low.
Mr. George said that dodder is i
the noxious weed most objection
able in lespedeza, but uncleaned ,
seed contains many other seeds
such as crab grass and poor joe. He
recommended that lespedeza seed
be thoroughly cleaned before plant
jng. Most seed in the regular chan
nels of trade have been cleaned, but
those grown at home are likely to
contain undesirable seeds.
Seed purchased from commercial
dealers, the agent, pointed out, j
should be tagged according to the
requirements of the state seed law,
anc j a study of the quality of the
see( j should be made. “The tag,” he
sa j ( j “shows germination and hard
)
S eed. The hard seed germinate
s i owe r than, other seed, and these
see( j > pi us those that germinate, are
the total live seed.”
Kobe, Korean, Common and
Tennessee 76 are all being used in
Georgia, the agent said, but the first
three are most important. Kobe, Ko- j j
rean and Tennessee 76 are used for
pasture, hay and , soil .. improvement, . ,
while common is used mostly in ;
permanent pasture.

Army Food Budget.
General Marshall’s grocery bill
for our 5,000,000 heavy-eating en
listed men runs $2,800,000 a day.
This is only 56 cents per soldier, and
the food’s mighty good—a pound of
meat, one egg, a pint, of milk, 1 -1-2
pounds of vegetables besides pota
toes; bread, butter, sugar—and cof
fee 40 times in 30 days.
Wholesale price ceilings on eggs
have been set at slightly above 40
cents per dozen for the south. Ceil
ings on soybeans have been estab
lished a little higher than current
market prices.
Clouds Over Dixie.
The Forest Service is concerned
over great losses involved by that
old habit of burning land in the
south. It’s an easy way to clear de
bris at this time of year, but it is
frightfully destructive. Grass and
brush fires spread so easily that ev
ery year millions of trees are ruined.
