WONDERFUL RECORD
! FOR THE P!0 CLUBS
___
They Have Outstripped The
Other Agricultural Clubs
A brief summary of the pig club
work given below shows that material
progress has been made in this line
of club work. The membership has
incieased; the methods of feeding and
caring »or the pigs are based on
scientific principles; better blood is
being used; progress is being made
along all ines. This club now sur¬
passes the corn club in the numbers
enrolled.
■The following is some of the phases
and activities of the pig club work in
Georgia as carried on by the Exten¬
sion Division of the State College of
Agriculture in co-operation with the
United Slates Department of Agricul¬
ture;
Fourteen schools in one county
raised pigs on the waste from schol¬
ars lunch baskets and sold them for
$590.00 at an auction sale.
One town of 2$00 people produced
>5,000 pounds of pork from pigs
raised in back yards. The white boys
it the same county raised $12,340.00
worth of meat hogs, and the negro
boys $2,134.85, a total of $14,474.85
worth of meat produced by pig club
boys.
An all-cotton county reports an in¬
crease of 5,000 hogs in 191S.
Fifty-seven pig club members in one
county raised 250 head of registered
Duroc-Jerseys. The amount invested
was $2,300.00 An auction sale dis¬
posed of 80 head of surplus. The sale
and remaining hogs represent $7,-
800.00
Twenty-two schools in oje county
are raising twenty two pure-bred hogs
this spring on waste from the pupils’
dinner baskets.
With twenty-eight pig club hogs one
county won seventy-six ribbons, and
prizes amounting to $817.50, including
the State championship.
The State champion was the eteven
year-old son of a one-horse farmer
who bought his pig at an auction sale
for $37-50. She is worth $300 today
Six pig club boys in one county will
start hog farms in 1919. Three of
these boys have their hogs and land.
All of them started with one small
pig.
Of the 2,105 hogs at the Skrathetst
evu Fair, 345 were owned and raised
by pig club boys who won thirty-one
ribbons, and $330 in prize s Jin th e

ring. Three of the ribbons ware
Junior Champions.
Of the 350 hogs at the State Fair,
8 7were owned and raised by pig club'
boys who won 39 ribbons in the open
ring and $272 in prizes. One of the
ribbons was a Junior Champion.
Pig club boys a on 70 ribbons and
$505 in prizes in the open ring at two
Georgia fairs. Four of the ribbons
Were Junior Champions.
The total sum represented by the
bogs and pigs in the hands of the pig
club members during 1918 was almost
a half million dollars.
The increase in the initial cost of
pig clubs’ pigs in 1918 was almost
$0 per cent more than in 1917.
The increase in the final value of
hogs raised by pig club boys in 1918
over those of 1917 was over 66 per
cent.
The increase in the number of pure¬
bred hogs raised by pig club boys in
1918 over 1917 was over 306 per cent.
The increase in the number of pigs
exhibited at two fairs by pig club
boys in 1918 over 1917 was nearly 60
per cent.
The increase in profits of hogs
raised in 1918 over 1917 was over 61
per cent.
At the second annual Negro Meat
Show, at Fort Valley, there were 896
pieces of hog meat exhibited, 284
dozen fresh eggs, and 43 1-2 pounds
of butter. A close inspection detected
fifty-seven shoulders slightly off in
odor and but two actually sour.—J. K.

FIGHT THE DISUSE
IN THE HOME ORCHMID
Just What To Do For Applet,
Peaches And Pecans
In order to get good fruit of any
one must fight the diseases and
insects that attack it. The following
niles for May are given by Prof. R. B,
of the Georgia State Col¬
of Agriculture. Apples should be
sprayed twice during this month and
;hen no more until June, when a&
other spraying will ttake care of the
bitter rot and the second brood of the
codlin moth.
For baown rot of peaches spray
sarly in May with 8-8-50 self-boiled
lime sulphur and a pound of powdered
arsenate of lead. Ask your county
agent how to make this spray. Full
directions may also -be secured by
writing the college.
To prevent scab, nut case borer and
worm in pecans, spray about
weeks apart with an arsenate of
spray. In some of the
jounties of southeast Georgia the sat
suina orange is grown. To keep the
fungus from the orange make
sprayings with Bordeaux mixture
month.
It is a good plan to sow ®r drill iron
velvet beans, or soy beans in the
this month. Drilling in close
with a cultivation or two in June
the best results. Sowing is next
These growing crops keep the
summer sun from baking the
and using up all of the vege¬
matter. '*•
Approaching ‘'Perpetual.”
Of course, there is still unsolved the
eld riddle of perpetual motion, which
thousands of cranks have spent their
lives upon In the past. Scientists tell
us that there is no perpetual motion
known even to astronomy, so that it
will never be discovered on earth ! The
world, they say, is slowly checking its
speed round the sun, and its diurnal
revolution, but so slowly as to be Im¬
perceptible within historic times, and
the sun they say is a dying fire which
will be extinct in a few hundred billion
years. Yet the discovery of radium,
with its apparently Inexhaustible ener¬
gy, rather shook the scorn with which
the ideal of perpetual motion used to
be regarded, and If a machine could
be constructed to go for twenty years,
en lta own as it were, it would be
“perpetual" enough for all ordinary
purpose*1
