Crop Rotations
Have Effect
on Fertilizers
With the opening of the spring
fat cattle shows and sales just
around the corner, Georgia farmers
and 4-H club members are busily
putting the finishing touches on the
animals they hope will bring them
trophies and cash.
The show-sales open a two-day
stand at Albany on February 28 and
wi 1 up in Atlanta on April 18 and
19. In between these dates, other
show-sales will be held at Macon,
March 13-14; Moultrie, March 21-
22; Savannah, March 23-24; Colum
bus, March 28-29; Blakely. March
31; Augusta. April 4-5; and Swains
boro, April 11-12.
The show-sale is the pay-off for
the 4-H club boy or Georgia farm
er who has devoted a large portion
of his working time to the careful
development of a good beef animal.
It takes time, care and feed to de
velop a prime steer and that’s the
kind of competition the show-sales
offer.
In le case of a club boy, the calf
he enters in the show-sale may be
the result of a full year’s hard work
in his major 4-H club project. The
money he get,* for his animal may
be a substantial portion of his col
lege education fund.
There are all kinds of thrills for
the club members as well as adult
farmers at the show-sales. There’s
the thrii: that comes from showing
a well-fitted animal in the show
ring.
The judges walk around in a very
dignified, very solemn manner.
They look, feel, punch and then—
if you have a good animal, they will
ask you to walk him around. If
they are satisfied, you are asked to
"bring that calf over here" and then |
you know you’ve won something, j
even if it isn’t first.
Everybody has a good time. If
you win a first place,- the news pho- j

you to “say something,” and

banquet you might be presented j
with a silver loving cup.
Of course, the biggest thrill of all | |
comes when your prize winning ani
mal go. into the auction ring to
be bid on by the buyers for the big
livestock companies. That's what
really counts. That's the real pay
off.
Everybody has a good time the
whole time except the prize-winning
cattle. They have good feed, plenty
of water and lots of publicity until
they go into the auction ring. It
seems that the more prizes they win,
the more the buyers are willing to
pay for them. After the buyers get
through, the prize-winning cattle
are shipped
