Saving Farm Labor In June
: June is always a busy month on the
f farm. It bids fair to be unusually
/ so this year because the excessive
t rainfalls have delayed farm work.
: Fortunately we had more land sown
: to grain this year so it was possible
> to get most of the corn and cotton
r land in shape in spite of the rains.
Then too a dry spell through this
i immediate section helped us right at
r that time.
s But grain Jand presents a problem
; to us right now. It must be sown to
. peas or planted at the same time the
. cotton and corn land is in bad need of
cultivation and cotton needs dusting
with calcium arsenate.
For these reasons I am afraid a
good deal of the oat and wheat stub
, ble land will be allowed to grow a
fine crop of crab grass. Peavine or
velvet bean hay is better and wfll do
the land more good. We can hardly
afford to let any opportunity go by
to build up our soils. So lets plant
those peas or beans if we have to do
by speLMa.
Some farmers have already found
time to turn a large portion of their
stubbie land while others have disk
ed it. In cases where time cannot
be found to break it right away, some
are disking the land with a disk har
row' and sowing without rebreaking.
This process may not yield as much
per acre but it beats letting the land
lay out.
Riding Cutivators
Some of the farms I have visited
lately are using the cultivator to good
advantage. One farmers was cleaning
a corn field and leaving ft in good
shape w’ith the disks on a riding cul
tivator. Others are finding the culti
vators enable them to get over their
cotton and corn much more rapidly,
keeping the grass down and the crops
in better growing condition. At the
same time the rapid cultivation is one
of the most effective methods of con
trolling boll weevils. I have seen
cultivators enable farmers to save his
crops when he could not possibly
have “caught up” with the Old style
plows.
Can Ranks Afford To Advance Money
ITo Farmers For Buying Stock Hogs?
The following artiale written by
Newell of the Miss. A. & M. is one of
the most practical I have seen in a
long time.
Naturally the first question that
will come to the banker’s mind when
this proposition is brought before him
is, “Will this proposition of financing
farmers in buying good brood sows
prove to be good business?” We be
lieve that by close study of the avail
able facts in the case the bankers
will readily see that there is money
to be made in feeding hogs under nor
mal conditions. A number of experi
ment stations have worked out the
cost of producing a 225 pound hog,
this size being a good market weight,
and the average of these results is
about as follows:
To birth, feed equivalent to 45 lbs.
of corn.
To weaning at 30 pounds, feed
equivalent to 72 pounds of corn, 20.1
pounds of pounds of
tankage.
Weaning to 223 pounds weight,
756.55 pounds of corn, and 33.15 lbs. i
of tankage.
Totai. feed required, 875.55 pounds
of corn, or 15.63 bushels, 29.1 pounds
of middlings, 40.35 pounds of tankage. I
Figuring corn at 50c per bushel,,
middlings at S3O per ton, and tankage ,
at $45 per ton, a 225 pound pig would 1
cost $8.99 and would have to seUl for
4c per pound to realize market value ;
for the feeds. These figures however
no not include the cost of labor, so
about one fourth more must lie add- ,
ed, which will bring the cost to about;
5c per pound.
It should be noticed that the ex
periment stations have used tankage
and middlings because they have
learned that corn alone is not an econ
omical feed, and that for best results
the ration must be balanced. We are
fortunate in the South in having pea
nuts, soy beans and velvet beans
which will furnish the protein part
of the feed.
We do not make the best use of
these feeds, however, because we of
ten turn hogs on them without any
other feeds. They do much better if !
fed corn at the same time they are !
running on such high protein feeds.
Comparison of the above figures
with prices during the past season
will show that hogs are profitable to
our farmers and good bank securities.
Soy Beans
Soy beans, while not so well adapt
ed to this section as to middle Geor- 1
gia, will give good results if proper
ly handled. They can be sown as
peas or sowm, drilled, planted in na»-
row rows or planted in corn middles, j
THE VIDaLIA ADVANCE
If for hay they will give a good qual
i ity hay that is easily handled but a
little harder to cure than peavine hay.
t Most of our farmers cut soy beans
to late. The large amount of plant
food carried in the staflk enables them
i to be cut when the bottom first begin
to turn yellow. There is enough
strength in the stalk to finish matur
ing the benas and making an excel
lent hay. Waiting until the leaves
| or all of the pods are yellow will re
sult in a great many of the beans be
ing lost in handling.
I If planted in narrow rows and cul
tivated a couple of times they will
yield a heavy crop of beans. The
same is true if planted in the corn
middles. They should be planted
earlier than peas as they require a
longer time to mature.
Do not plant next to big woods or
creeks where the rabbits are bad as
they are very fond of them. This is
probably the worst trouble weh ave in
growing the Soy Bean as the rabbits
are rather plentiful. It sometime
helps to pliant the first few outside
rows rather thick but even that will
not suffice next to weods. Uurge the
boys to keep the dogs busy during wet
days.
Soy benas give a good hog grazing
crop either as green grazing or as a
fall crop to be hogged off. Either
the corn should be left in the fields
, for the hogs to gather at same time
or else corn should be fed to the hogs
while they are grazing it. The qual
ity of pork, if vroduced on soy benas
alone wijl be soft but hardly so oily
as from peanuts. If fed corn or if
corn in left in the field it will improve
the quality of the pork though hardly ;
make is pass as hard hogs. Some tests ■
have produced hard pork by this latter <
method but it has not been definitely <
established yet as to what the quality '
will be.
DEWBERRY GROWERS WINDING 1
UP VERY SUCCESSFUL SEASON ;
Members of the Vidalia Dewberry <
Association are this week winding up '
shipments and coming to the cl se of
a very successful season. The rain
ing during May greatly damaged the
crop, interfered also with the carrying
quality of the berries and resulted in
lower prices being received than the
growers anticipated, but prices in the
man have been very satisfactory and
growers have been pleased with the
financial returns. Acreage in berries
in this section has been greatly in
creased aqcl many additional acres
will be put in this fall, and next sea
son it will be possble to ship in car
load lots, if the association desires.
An interesting fact developed this
season was that in many markets the
cultivated dewberry brought hijfner
prices than the strawberry, which was (
on the market at the same time.
A large amout of the shipments this
year have been handled in refrigera
tor boxes, each box carrying eighty
I quarts, and which put the berries to
| distant markets in splendid shape.
! TRY SULPHUR OS
AN ECZEMA SI
i
Costs Little and Overcomes Trou
ble Almost Over Night
<
Any breaking out of the skin, even
| fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying Mentho-Sul
phur, declares a noted skin specialist.
Because of its germ destroying prop
erties, this sulphur preparation in
stantly brings ease from skin irrita
; tion, soothes and heals the eczema
right up and leaves the skin clear and
smooth.
It seldom fails to relieve tor
ment without delay. Sufferers from
skin trouble should obtain a small jar
of Mentho-Sulphur from any good
druggist and use it like cold cream.

RAILROADS INAUGURATE
CAREFUL CROSSING CAMPAIGN
All railroads in the United States
will observe period from June Ist to
September 30th, 1922, as Careful
Crossing Campaign, as recommended
by the safety section of the Ameri
can Railway Association.
The principal feature of the cam
paign will he the posting of placards
in every city and town, and at other
points on the right of way, over the
entire country.
It is hoped that by intensive post
ing over the entire country, the driv
ing public will be made to think of
the danger of approaching the grade
crossings at a speed beyond control.
