IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING BEEF
PRODUCTION CHEAPLY AS POSSIBLE
Making Beef From Lespedeza in Central Mississippi.
“Is the price of beef high?”
This question is heard on all sides
today. Tlie producer says, “No, con¬
sidering the price I get for my cattle.”
The consumer says, “Yes.” So there
you have it. But whatever the right
answer, the fact remains that prices
may go higher if there is not enough
beef to supply the demand for juicy
steaks and rib roasts with brown
gravy.
On the other hand, prices may de¬
cline if an over-supply is produced.
What is the present situation? We
have today less beef in sight than for
several years, according to reports to
the United States department of ag
griculture, which is kept closely ad¬
vised as to conditions on the ranges
and in the markets. The present price
of feeding stuff, scarcity of farm la¬
bor, reduced numbers of breeding ani¬
mals, and a small margin of profits
to the producer the past year are all
factors which tend to limit produc¬
tion, and impress upon us the im¬
portance of maintaining production and
producing beef as cheaply as possible.
Utilize Pastures to Utmost.
For an answer to this question, we
must look to Mother Earth. This is
springtime, the crops are planted, the
grass is growing, and the cattle are
on the green. This means, in its last
analysis, utilize pasture to the limit,
conserve roughages to the utmost, and
produce forages and feeding stuffs
which will make the most beef at least
cost’.
The bureau of animal industry of
the department of agriculture has for
several years been studying the prob¬
lem of utilizing these feeds to best
advantage. In 1914 the department,
in co-operation with the West Vir¬
ginia agricultural station, began a
series of beef cattle experiments in
Greenbriar county, West Virginia, to
solve beef production problems in the
fr ..... :
A Hereford Bull of High Quality.^
Appalachian mountain region. This
station is located in the southwestern
part of the state, in the blue grass
area, and the problems undertaken
are: First—Most economical and satis¬
factory rations for wintering beef
steers; second—The influence of these
rations upon the gains of steers the
following summer from grass.
The results of the experiments ap¬
ply not to West Virginia, alone, but to
all states having similar conditions,
which, in fact, includes the whole
Appalachian region, extending from
southern Tennessee to Nev York. It
is within this general area that abund¬
ant pastures, cut-over and waste land
is found, producing abundant pasture
of high quality for beef production.
Abundant Pastures Available.
The South, with its delightful cli¬
mate and l.ong grazing period of approx¬
imately ten months of the year, where
carpet grass. Bermuda and other kinds
almost equally as nutritious abound
over the plains, the cut-over regions
and waste lands of this area; the
Great Lakes region, properly termed
“clover land,” where millions of acres
today are not completely utilized by
live stock*, all provide abundant pas¬
ture that is well adapted for beef
production. wide
The West, with its vast plains
prairies and the resources of forests
and streams, may be used by the beef
producer to even better advantage, al¬
though overstocking is a factor not
to be overlooked.
Will this vast area of unused pas¬
ture be used for immediate produc¬
tion? No; it’s a more difficult prob¬
lem than that. To use some of it in¬
volves an expense not justified by pres¬
ent prices of cattle.
The danger of overstocking, with
THE COVINGTON NEWS, COVINGTON, GEORGIA.
its attendant loss in profit, is frequent¬
ly emphasized, but the decreased re¬
turns due to overstocking should be
considered as well. When the num¬
ber of cattle on a given area fail to
keep the grass short, that which is
allowed to grow* becomes less palat¬
able and less nutritive. Moreover, ob¬
jectionable weeds are certain to gain
a foothold.
Utilization Increases Land Value.
By utilizing to the fullest extent
the land devoted to pasture the value
of the land is increased and greater
profit results. A system of careful
management makes it possible to use
higher-priced land, than has heretofore
been used for such, for profitable beef
production. The intelligent use of
pastures gives a return which com¬
pares favorably with that from the
cropping system, but’ requires less la¬
bor.
It is not possible to state just how
many cattle should be allowed to the
acre for grazing purposes, because this
is determined largely by the quality
and stand of grass which is, of course,
variable.
In conclusion, it may be said that
the beef producer in most sections who
will obtain the largest net returns is
the man who wall stock his pastures
so that the grass is kept fairly short,
but in good condition.
PREPARE LOGGED-OFF
LAND FOR PASTURE
Time of Seeding Depends Upon
When Ground Is Burned.
Sufficient Moisture Is Secured From
Rains to Cause Good Germination
If Seeded in Unsettled Ashes in
Late Summer.
In preparing logged-off land for pas¬
ture, the time of seeding depends up¬
on when the land is burned over, ac¬
cording to specialists of the office of
farm management’ of the United States
department of agriculture. If the burn
occurs during July, August, or early in
September, the seed should be sown
in the early fall before the ashes have
been settled by the rains.
If seeded in the unsettled ashes,
the first rains that come will cover
the seed sufficiently to secure good
germination. If the burn occurs so
late in the fall that the seed cannot
be sown until during October, it is
best to sow the grasses then and wait
until in Februray or March to sow’ the
clover.
The heaving of the soil during the
late fall and winter, a condition
caused by alternate thawing and freez¬
ing, often destroys young clover unless
it is sown early enough in the fail to
get a good start. If the fall-sown
clover is destroyed in this way it may
be reseeded during February or March.
When sown in the early spring the
[leaving of the soil helps to cover the
seed.
PROPER TIME TO CUT WHEAT
May Be Done With Safety When Straw
Has Lost Its Color and Qrains
Are Not Hardened.
Wheat may be cut with safety when
the straw’ has lost nearly all its green
color and the grains are not entirely
hardened. If cut sooner than this,
shriveled kernels will result. If left
standing until fully ripe, a bleached
appearance, due to the action of the
elements, often results, and loss from
shattering may ensue. Wheat that is
fully ripe is also more difficult to
handle. Where the area of wheat is
large, cutting should begin as early
as it can be done safely.—Farmers’

STATE WINS OIL
INSPECTION SUIT
SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL¬
LARS INVOLVED IN INCOME
TO STATE OF GEORGIA
STATE NEWSJF INTEREST
Brief News Items Gathered Here and
There From All Sections
Of The State
Atlanta.—A victory for the state w’as
won in the decision handed down by
the United States district court in the
case of the Texas Oil company against
J. J. Brown, commissioner of agricul¬
ture, et al„ involving the validity of
oil inspection laws of Georgia. Three
judges sat in the case, as required by
law in cases involving constitutional
questions.
The argument for the state at the
hearing which occurred several weeks
ago was presented by Albert Howell,
Jr., and Mark Bolding, Former Gover¬
nor John M. Slaton and Luther Ros¬
ser represented the plaintiff.
The opinion of the court was writ¬
ten by Judge Sibley of the northern
district of Georgia, and concurred in
by Judge Beverly D. Evans of the
southern district. Circuit Judge Wal¬
ker of Huntsville, Ala., the third judge,
rendered a dissenting opinion.
The plaintiff sought to enjoin the
collection of oil fees by the commis¬
sion of agriculture and his inspectors
on the ground that the law requiring
it was a tax on interstate commerce
in violation of the constitution of the
United States. It was also claimed
that the law violated the state consti¬
tution providing that all taxes shall
he uniform and ad valorem. About
six hundred thousand dollars annually
of the state’s revenue was hinging on
the decision as the principle involved
applied to the sale of fertilizer tags
as well as oil inspection fees.
It was not confounded by the state’s
attorneys that the state had a right to
levy a tax on oil or gasoline consign¬
ed to a Georgia consumer and receiv¬
ed by him in the original package, but
it w r as urged that the interstate com¬
merce character of the shipment
ceased when the oil was stored or the
original package broken for resale.
Policeman Kills Two Negroes
Elberton.—Night Policeman Loften
Jones, in trying to arrest a negro, Will
Peloat, on the northbound Seaboard
Air Line midnight train here recent¬
ly. was shot in the army by the negro.
The policeman then pulled his pi-stol
and fired two shots, killing Peloat,
and also.another negro sitting in the
same seat with him by the name of
Will Harris. When the train arrived
in Elberton, it appears, the negro
Peloat w’as swearing and raising a
disturbance. The conductor of the
train asked the policeman to take
him off, as he said he was drinking
and had been very disorderly all the
way from Atlanta. He said that he
tried to get a policeman in Athens to
take him off the train. The police¬
man here entered the train and as he
approached the negro drew his pistol
and fired. Jones did not intend to
shoot Harris, but it is understood that
Harris had been drinking with Peloat
and w’as unruly.
Decatur Votes Solid For Bonds
Decatur.—Without a single dissent¬
ing vote cast in the entire election,
Decatur voters authorized the issuing
of bonds to the extent of one hun¬
dred and fifty thousand dollars, one
hundred thousand dollars of this sum
being for a new high schooj building
and fifty thousand dollars for improve¬
ment and extension of the city wa¬
terworks system. The polls were
open all day as in a regular election
and w’hiie it was always certain that
bonds would carry it w’as not known
that the opposition that had develop¬
ed to the bond project would be so
overwhelmingly crushed. Only 249
votes w< re necessary to ratify the
project and 365 votes were cast in
favor of school bonds without a sin¬
gle vote being cast against either.
Registered voters numbered 497.
Atlanta Banks Declare Dividends
Atlanta.—Six of the leading banks
of Atlanta, celebrating an era of
prosperity for the first six months of
the year 1920. declared dividends total¬
ing more than three hundred thousand
dollars during the month of June. The
June dividends declared by the six
banks we^e as follows: Fourth Na¬
tional, six per cent semi-annual divi¬
dend and a three per cent extra divi¬
dend, $108,000; Atlanta National,
seven and one-half per cent semi-annu¬
al dividend, $75,000. Citizens and
Southern, four per cent quarterly div¬
idend. $60,000. Central Bank and
Trust corporation, four per cent semi¬
annual dividend, $40,000. Lowry Na¬
tional, tlsree per cent quarterly divi¬
dend. $30,000. Fulton National, three
per cent semi-annual dividend, $18,-
750. Total $331,750.
Pistol In Mixed Cargo Causes Death
Athens.—Wallace Parnell, Jr., aged
12 years, was the victim of a most un¬
usual accident here. The youth was
playing in front of a store, where a
truck was being unloaded of part of
its cargo of miscellaneous merchan¬
dise. A bag containing a pistol was
thrown upon the sidewalk, the impact
with the pavement causing the fire¬
arm to be discharged. The bullet
pierced the little fellow’s skull. He
was rushed to the hospital, where he
died a few hours later on the operating
table.
LEGISLATIVE NEWS.
The house of representatives refused
to strengthen the prohibition law by
making it a felony to transport liquor
within this state. It also declined to
make the carrying of a concealed
weapon a felony. Both bills were kill¬
ed by substantial majorities. Another
feature was the introduction by Mr.
Barnes of Bibb of a bill to repeal the
Bai'nes time law’, w’hich w’as passed
last year, making eastern time the of¬
ficial time of Georgia. Mr. Barnes,
who w’as the author and principal ad¬
vocate of the time law passed in 1919,’
indicated that the action of congress
in repealing the daylight saving law
obviated any necessity for continuing
the Baimes law in operation.
By a vote of 107 to 48 on a call
of the roll, the house passed the bill
by Representative Mundy o t Polk
providing that county warrants should
draw interest at the legal rate after
they had been presented to the treas*
urer and payment refused on account
of lack of funds. Two amendments
to the original bill were adopted, one
that the warrants, in order to continue
to draw’ interest, must be re-presented
on the first of the year and payment
again declined, and the other that
the act should not apply to warrants
now outstanding. „
Woman suffrage in Geoi’gia W’as
given its death blow for this session
of the legislature when the senate by
a vote of 24 to 21 refused to recon¬
sider its action in killing the Barrett
amendment to the state constitution
to enfranchise women.
The house voted unanimously for a
resolution to set the clock hereafter by
Central time and it was suggested that
Mr. Barnes himself be appointed to
turn back the hands one hour. How
ever, as Mr. Barnes himself introduc¬
ed the bill to repeal his own law
“expressly” he w-as excused from that
duty.
It took the deciding vote of Chair¬
man Carsw-ell to secure a favorable re¬
port by the house appropriations com¬
mittee on the companion bills designed
to divert temporarily the state aid
road fund to the general expenses of
the state until the ad valorem taxes
for the year are collected in Decern*
ber.
Frustrate Exhumation Plans
Dalton.—Lucius Manning, a prosper¬
ous farmer residing in the western
section of Whitfield county, recently
exhumed the body of his wife, who
died several months ago, claiming he
had been given the power to resur¬
rect her from the grave. He was
,
interrupted by his indignant neigh¬
bors, who caused him to desist. Man¬
ning has very positive religious con¬
victions, w’hich he attempted to vin¬
dicate during the draft period by de¬
clining to register and for which he
w-as sentenced to serve a term in the
jail. He is a close student of the
Bible and claims to be endowed w’ith
supernatural powers. He w-as devot¬
ed to his wife, whose death grieved
him very much and resulted in his ef¬
fort to bring her back to life.
Cow Wins Two-Round Bout
Waycross.—When E. D. Dimmock,
prominent druggist of Waycross, left
his car parked on the side of a coun¬
try road he returned to find it in a
rather dilapidated condition. A cow,
belonging to a nearby dairyman, had
approached the car and, seeing its re¬
flection on the glossy metal, proceed¬
ed to engage in a fight with the
“strange cow.” After several bumps,
in which the reflection w-as scratched
off, the young heifer walked around on
the other side of the auto only to find
the same cow- staring her in the face.
The same scene took place and this
side was put in a worse fix than the
first.
Savannah Boy Saves Man Drowning
Savannah.—J. B. and E. A. Oliveres
of Savannah were rescued by heroic
work on the part of William Lovell,
a son of the town clerk of Tybee, when
their boat in which they had been fish¬
ing was capsized near Lovell station,
Tybee Island, in a stiff nor’easter. The
sea was rough, though the skies were
clear, and their light boat was over¬
turned. Young Lovell put to sea in
a skiff and fighting every foot of
the way to the strugling men saved
both. The lifeguards, who had been
on duty and are on duty at all hours
at Tybee beach proper, do not serve
as far up the coast as Lovell, a mile
or more from the resort.
Lynchings Show Marked Decrease
Atldhta. — The lynchings during
the first six months of 1920 showed a
marked decrease under the number for
that period during the last two years,
according to a statement prepared by
R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee
institute. The number this year is
given as twelve, which w-as seventeen
less than during the first six months
of 1919 and thirty-three less than for
the same period of 1918. All were ne¬
groes, eight having been charged with
criminal assault. Lynchings by states
were given as follows: Minnesota 2,
Alabama 2, Georgia 2, Kentucky 1,
Florida 1. Kansas 1, South Carolina 1
and Texas 1.
To Spend Million On Development
Macon.—-At a meeting of the direc¬
tors of the Georgia association held
here plans were made for securing one
million dollars for Georgia’s develop¬
ment and for the enrollment of a large
number of members in the association.
Other plans discussed were co-opera¬
tion of the government in land settle¬
ment, and the reclamation of certain
tracts of Georgia lands. The support
of the association was pledged to se¬

tional drainage congress to be held
