AGRICULTURAL NEWS GIVEN BY. COUNTY AGENT Urges Planting of Small Plot Of Crimson Clover At Start EXPECT COMPLETION OF MEASURING LAND IN NEXT FEW DAYS Recommends Keeping Some Sheep on Each Farm In County We have contacted several far mers recently who are planning to j sow a seed patch of crimson clo-, ver. The common error that most j farmers want to make, in our opinion, is their desire to sow too large an acreage to begin with. The crop is new to us and fairly expensive to get started with and we should begin on a small scale with an extra fertile piece of land. This will enable us to study the characteristics of the new crop, and enable us to adapt our system of farming so that we will be able to handle it in the regular eourse otf pur farming activities. We would urge the largest farmers to sow only a seed patch. Our iaea is to sow fifty pounds of seed on an extra fertile piece of land and in the future save the seed and in crease the acreage and never buy another seed. It can be done very easily. Most of the committeemen are making good progress on measur ing land under the farm program and we anticipate the completion of this work vtithin a short time. We find from talking with the committees that some few fatun ers do not have sufficient soil conserving crops to qualify them for diversion of cotton acreage. In such cases a farmer may qual ify now by sowing winter legumes on crop land before October 31 or by sowing non-legumes such as irye on idle land by that date. Be sure to use such legumes as clo ver, Austrian peas or hairy vetch, if you are sowing in crop land such as cotton or corn land. If you have a sufficient acreage of land that is "laying out’* you may sow this land to rye or other non legume crop and qualify. We see quite a bit of agitation in the papers regarding the rais ing of sheep in Georgia. We be lieve a few sheep on nearly every farm would be profitable as they will live on feed and pasturage that is generally insufficient for other types of livestock. But you cannot have sheep where there are stray dogs. A few days ago we saw a cow' on Mr. R. E. Lee's farm suffering from rabies contracted from a bite by a stray dog. In our opinion there is quite a large number of worthless dogs in this other counties that should be destroyed . In so many cases their owners need the feed that the dogs get for their hogs, Worthless dogs are a men ace to jjvestock and a potential menace to our hea]th . carrying rabies, rj^gy certain^ pm destructive l* ; our game j Begin ncw to sow oat3 and try to finLgh the job by October 15th. Treat your geed for smut . Qne ounce of f orma idehyde witlf two gallons of wa ter. This is sufficient to treat ten to twelve bushels. Spread the oats out on| a tight floor, sprinkle the solution over them, being careful to keep the grain stirred so that every seed is moistened. Pile and cover with a sheet for four hours. They are (.hen ready to sow and will be free from smut. This treatment will rog ^ ]egs than one C g nt per bushel and wdll absolutely control smut. The corn crop is short and oats will make the ’earliest grain crop i next year of any erop you bar-1 plant. Sow early so you will vest early. Sow the best land you have. It is mighty nice to go to mijl instead of the store when you want a sack of flour.

They are working at various places in the county where work is needed most. It is thought that in a few weeks more men will be added and work will be general throughout the county. Mr. Ike Robertson, county commissioner, stated that he would place men to work as soon as authority is re ceived from Washington. These men are employed by the govem ment and turned over to Mr. Rob He has no authority to hire additional men.
