Cotton Income
Every famer who has a 1959
cotton allotment needs to con
sider carefully the income possi
bilities from cotton before de
ciding not to plant his full al
lotment. Last year only 1840.8
acres of the county’s 7937.4 acre
allotment was planted. The year
1959 will determine whether or
not cotton will regain its right
ful place in this county’s and
Georgia’s agriculture.
The 221 farmers in the state
who made the Bale and a Half
Cotton Club point the way to
profitable cotton production.
On their ’SB crops they netted
$158.43 per acre with an aver
age yield of 870 pounds of lint
per acre. Their total cost of

Grain Sprouters
Lately there has been a lot
| of interest among dairy farmers
in the use of “Grain Sprouters”
in the feeding of dairy cows.
As yet no research work has
been completed in Georgia on
the use of these machines. A
machine has been installed at
the Georgia Experiment Sta

tritionist at the station, says:
"The Georgia Experiment

recommend that a farmer
