$2,400,000 GOES TO
VOCATION ALEDOCtTIOfl
Jn The Next Ten Years For Pay*
ing And Training
Teachers.
The ‘National Vocational Act,"
known as the “Smith-Hughes Bill,"
Bfovides for federal aid to vocational
schools. This bill was passed by con-
61CTO JU rcuiua „ ( „ Ali nuu __
effective juiv i, 1917 . By the provi
sion.s Of this act, ?42,oo6 of federal
money comes to Georgia this year for
the promotion of vocational education.
This amount is increased each year
until the sum of $192,000 is reached
for 1926 and a like amount
for every year thereafter. The total
amount of federal money thus received
by our state for the ten years ending
1927 will be nearly one and a quarter
millions of dollars.
Another provision of this act re¬
quires that the state must spend, at
least, an equal amount in promoting
this same type of education. This
means, then, that a total of $84,000 is
available in the state of Georgia this
year for vocational education; and
that by 1926, and each year thereafter,
there will be at least $384,000 avail
able for the promotion of such educa
tiou. This makes the minimum total
to be expended for vocational educa
tion in our state, during the next ten
years, more than $ 2 , 400 , 000 .
This vast sum of money will be spent
Slrr'”. will be spent dlBtln in paying «‘‘“t! the ot salaries " ork
vocational teachers (teachers of
culture, home economics and industrial
subjects) and in preparing or training
the teachers of these vocational sub
special . work will be given this
.summer mer- at ft! Athens Athens rn to teachers teachers who who
are preparing to enter the work and
those who are already in the field and
wish further training for special lines
of work. The demand for teachers is
great and will increase from year to
yeir as more schools enter the work.
It should be noted also, in this con¬
nection, that each state must provide
the kind of vocational education it
most needs. In an industrial state
like Massachusetts the larger portion
of this fund will go to industrial edu¬
cation, but in an agricultural state like
Georgia, the major portion of this
fund will be available for promoting
agricultural teaching.
That the state is awake to the situa¬
tion is indicated by the number of com¬
munities asking for this federal aid.
Besides the eleven District Agricul¬
tural Schools, some seventeen or eigh¬
teen new schools have been establish¬
ed in as many counties.—Prof. John
T. Wheeler. State College of Agricul¬
ture.
CATTLE FEEDERS ARE
PUNTING[FOR SHADE
It Is Ati Absolute Necessity For
Winter Feeding.
Cattle feeders are planting silage
crops now to prepare for winter feed¬
ing. Many silos will be filled.
The experience of cattle feeders in
the state and the feeding tests of the
Georgia State College of Agriculture
show that silage is an absolute neces¬
sity in carrying cattle economically
through the winter months. Many
stockmen have contended that the
feeders of Georgia do not need the
silo, but experience has shown silage
to be the universal winter feed.
Now is the time to sow silage crops.
Land that has been making a bale of
cotton to the acre should make from
ten to twelve tons of silage to the
acre. Of course the yields will vary
from season to season depending on
weather conditions and the crop used
for silage.
A mixture of any of the rank sor¬
ghums as Red Head or Sugar Drip
with kafir corn is good for planting.
The mixture should be made of 3 parts
of sorghum to 1 part of kafir corn and
about 8 to 10 pounds of this mixture
should be sown on an acre. This mix¬
ture has been advocated since it has
given the largest yields under all con¬
ditions and also has given a good
quality of silage.
Forty pounds of silage per day is
full feed for an animal weighing 1.000
pounds. If fed for 120 days at this
rate each animal will require a litile
less than two and a half tons for the
feeding period. Counting twelve tons
to the acre five animals may be car¬
ried through the winter from the silage
of this area.
Along with the silage must be fed
a small amount of cottonseed meal,
peanut meal, velvetbean meal or a
mixture of* these feeds. Some dry
roughage ii\ the form of shredded corn
stalks or oat straw should be fed.
The silage crop should be planted
as near the silo as possible in oivic:
to keep down the expense of handling
Tt makes it more convenient also for
ihe handling of fertilizers and manure
that are put under these crops.
The time that it will take a silage
crop to mature is from 110 to 130 days,
depending, of course, upon ihe kind of
crop and the seasonal conditions.
Preparations should be made as soon
as possible for the building of the
silo.
The State College of Agriculture in
Athens will supply any farmer free of
charge plans and specifications for the
building of a silo. In some instances
actual supervision of the building of
the silo may be given. Write for “Fi¬
ery Man’s Silo."—M. P. Jarnagia,
late College of Agriculture.

Back Up the Card System.
Some localities in the state are
making report to Federal Food Admin¬
istrator Andrew M. Soule that the spir
it and letter of fairness of !4ae flour
card system is not being properly ob
served. Cases in complaint are th*.‘
there is a practice to some o- tent of
trying to double-up by securing more
than one card in the specified time
and thereby accumulating more than
a fair and equitable ai'ount of flour.
The system was especially designed
to aid the people in the country dis¬
tricts and, in the main, they are at
eeptlng it in that spirit and co-oper¬
ating in its operation, but there is a
scattered disinclination to “tote fair.’’
Each county administrator has been
advised by Dr. Soule to require a week
ly report made of every card issued,
that these reports be checked and
where “it is found that any person
is trying to evade the law by obtain
mg cards from more t!»an one coun
ty administrator nr representative of
a county administrator in cne month
; he be promptly reported to ihls office
that his case may be vigorously han
lled.”
