GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIMENTS
PRODUCED BEEF AT COST OF
12 TO 14 CENTS A POUND.
Corn silage and velvet beans are
said to form a satisfactory ration
for fattening steers for market. This
is the result of feeding experiments
just completed at the United States
department of agriculture farm at
Beltsville, Md.
Other points brought out by the
tests indicate that velvet beans com
pare favorably with cottonseed meal,
producing profitable gains when the
beans are the jsole concentration of
the ration; that it is more profitable
to feed soaked beans than it is to
grind them and that more beans will
be eaten if soaked before they are
fed than if they are fed dry.
The objects of the experiment were
to compare velvet beans in three
forms—whole, ground and soaked—
with cotton seed meal as supplements
to corn silage and dry roughages, and
to determine the most economical
forms in which velvet beans might be
fed in fattening cattle for market.
Incidentally it was hoped that the
tests would show possibilities of grain
conservation in the production of
beef as a war-time measure.
The cattle used in the tests were
40 good 2-year-old steers in which
shorthorn blood predominated. They
were bought last February in the
East St. Louis market, where they
were selected out of shipments from
Illinois and Missouri, and were in fair
stocked condition when placed on the
experimental feeding rations. They
were divided into four lots of 10
steers each, the lots selected so that
they would be as nearly equal as pos
sible in weight, quality and condi
tion. They were fed for 112 days.
Results of Tests.
The average daily ration consumed
by lot 1 was 4.39 pounds of cotton
seed meal, 33.72 pounds corn silage
and 4.20 pounds of dry roughage.
This lot made an average daily gain
of 2.30 pounds, at a cost of about
12 cents a pound, or $11.97 a hun
dred.
Lot 2 consumed an average daily
ration of 7.59 pounds of dry, whole
velvet beans, 26.85 pounds of corn
silage, and 4.15 pounds of dry rough
age. This lot made an average daily
gain of 1.73 pounds a head, at a

cost of about 14 cents a pound, or
$14.12 a hundred.
Lot 3 ate each day an average of
5.87 pounds of velvet bean meal,
26.92 pounds of corn silage and 4.10
pounds of dry roughage. The animals
made an average daily gain of 1.54
pounds at a cost of 14 cents a pound,
or $14.04 a hundred.
Lot 4 consumed an average daily
ration of 9.62 pounds of soaked whole
velvet beans, 23.40 pounds of corn
silage and 3.72 pounds of dry rough
age. This lot made an average daily
gain of 1.99 pounds a head, at a cost
of about 13 cents a pound, or $13.16
2 hundred.
The dry roughage was the same
for all lots and consisted of corn
stover for the first 28-day period, and
wheat straw for the last three 28-
day periods.
The feeds were at current standard
prices, and the charge against each
kind included the actual cost of lay
ing down at the farm.
" The examination of the carcasses
in the cooler at Baltimore showed
that lots 1 and 4 were nearly alike
as to quality. However, meat experts
there were of the opinion that if any
difference existed it was in favor of
the carcasses in lot 4. Lot 2 was bet
ter than lot 3 because of the greater
covering of fat. The average dressed
weights according to the Baltimore
basis gave the following percentages
of dressed to live weights: Lot 1,
84.16: lot 2, 54.87; lot 3, 54.01; lot
4, 55.77. The steers were sold on
the farm weights at 2 3-4 cents a
pounds more than they cost in East
St. Louis.
News Stories From the Capital City.
ATLANTA, Ga.—Now that all per
mits for recruiting labor in Georgia
have been cancelled the labor situa
tion throughout the state is very
much relieved, according to reports
which are being received at the state
department of commerce and labor.
Several days ago Senator Hoke
Smith took up with proper authori
ties in Washington the matter of
having these permits cancelled be
cause of the serious labor shortage
in Georgia at the very time when
the state is in need of her maximum
man power to gather the cotton crop.
Through his efforts the permits were
cancelled. Now nobody can take ad
vantage of the privilere of soliciting
labor in the name of the government
unless he represents a war industry
actually located in Georgia.
This means that Georgia is to be
allowed to keep all her labor supply,
except for the men who are actually
needed in the army and navy, and ex
cept for 'those who are recruited for
employment in war industries locat
ed within the state, of which there
are not many as compared with oth
er states which are reaching out all
over the country to get men.
DEMGCRATS SHCULD BE ON |
THEIR GUARD. i
ATLANTA.—Georgia democrats
are urged to be on guard against op
position to nominees of their par
ty, as an effort is going to be made
by the republicans to elect a United
States senator in the general election
to be held on November 6.
Every democrat in Georgia will be
urged to go to the polls on that day
without fail and vote for the nomi
nees of his party, so as to make sure
that no republican shall be elected:
to any office through carelessness or
failure of the democrats to uphold
their primary.
The recent movement in Washing
ton to fix a price on cotton was in
spired by republican leaders. In most
of the northern states, and especial
ly those where the textile interests
are strong, republican candidates are
making a great issue out of cotton
price-fixing.
Thanks to the determined opposi
tion on the part of southern mem
bers of congress the movement was
defeated. W. J. Harris, nominee of
the Georgia democrats, went to
Washington and held conferences
with President Wilson. the war in
dustries board and members of the
cotton committee in opposition to fix
ing the price. Southern senators
from other states also entered strong
protests. The effort to fix a price on
cotton was abandoned.
Now the republicans have put out
a candidate for the United States
senate, and will probably have other
candidates in the running in this
state. |
Georgia farmers need not expect
any friendly help from the republi
can party. If the republicans should
elect a majority of members of the
national housze and senate they would
fix the price of cotton at not exceed
ing twelve cents a pound. Fortunate
1y for Georgia, it has now a senator
who will have a strong influence with
‘the administration, and he may be
depended on to prevent any unjust
discrimination.
PRICE OF BACTERIA ADVANCED
ATLANTA.—Commissioner of Ag

I THEY TILLED THE SOIL.
{ In southwestern Utah are strange
;spots which are almost tropical in
icharacter, and owing to the abrupt
lchangces in altitude the visitor may
istaml in snow banks and look down
i directly beneath him on to small fields
! or patches of cotton plants, figs and
! other things native of a warm cli

{ where the Mormons established a

|are so precipitous that the traveler
;can drop a stone from the snow-cov
{ ered plateau nearly 4,000 feet down
i to the green verdure of the floor of
| the canyon. But long before the
{ Mormons settled this little canyon its
| rocky banks were inhabited by a pre
| historic race of cliff dwellers. The
‘Mormons have lived in isolation and
lapparent contentment for several
lgenerations, tilling the soil and find
ing a. sufficiency for their simple
farmers of the state at actual cost
by the department, from 20 cents to
30 cents an acre. This advance was
made necessary on account of the in
creased cost of producing the bacte
ria, and even at the increased price
Georgia farmers will still get it at
actual cost of manufacture to the
state, and way below the price in
the open market. /
This nitrogen bacteria has been
widely used by Georgia farmers for
treating the seed of leguminous crops
and in practically every instance
splendid results, in increased yield,
have been obtained from it. In writ

which it is intended to be used
should always be stated, as it often
make a difference in the particular
nature of the bacteria to he used.
TCN OF PEANUTS WORTH $142.
ATLANTA.—The state bureau of
markets has ascertained that the
products made from one ton of pea
nuts, at presents market prices, are
worth $142.58. The yield is based on
the results obtained from the 1917
crop, as these are the only figures
now available; but the value is fig
ured at present market prices. Ac
cording to this basis a ton of pea
nuts will yield 83 1-10 gallons of oil
worth $1.36 per gallon, or a total of
$113.02. and 1,075 pounds of 7 per
cent peanut meal, worth $55.00 per
ton, or $29.56, making the total
above stated. This will no doubt
prove very interesting information to
Georgia farmers who are preparing
to barvest peanut crops this fall.
MISS LOVERIDGE’S PREDICTION.
ATLANTA.—That the marvelous
strides which have been made in
aeronautics ‘under the powerful stim
ulus of the war will necessitate a re
construction of all scientific instruc
tion when the war is over is the pre
diction made by Miss Blanche G.
Loveridge, the noted woman educa
tor and lecturer of this city, who has
just begun a series of most interest
ing addresses te the girls of Eliza
beth Mather College, of which she is
the founder and president.
According to Miss Loveridge the
men who have gone to the war will
never return, generally speaking, to
the tasks they left to enter the ser
vice, and this great change ‘in the
nation’s industrial structure will
mark a new epoch. The changes in
scientifie instruction due to aeronaut
ics will be very marked, in her opin
ion.
