Promoting Our Animal Industries
By Andrew M. Soule, Pres. Ga. State College of Agriculture )
One of. Georgia’s .greatest assets
consists of the very considerable
number of farm animals she pos
sesses. Of course, we need
many more. That attention is being
directed to this matter, however, is
evidenced by the fact that the number
of cur hogs has increased at the rat#
100,000 a year for eight years. Their
quality has also been greatly improved.
We are bringing in a considerable
number cf pure bred sires of several
important breeds and thereby increas
ing the individual value of our beef
and dairy cattle.
Draft animals of the Percheron type
are also finding more favor than hith
erto. How has this result been
brought about? Primarily through thp
activities of the College of Agriculture
' ’ -jj i x>
and its extension workers who have
aided farmers in selecting breeding
stock.
The manufacture and distribution of
hog cholera serum at cost has also
enabled farmers to fight this disease
with remarkable v success, as the in
crease of our swine fully demonstrates.
We are now face to face with the
problem of changing our methods of
farming, diversifying, for instance, and
increasing our holdings of livestock in
order that we may utilize our lands to
advantage and vary the crops we grow
thereon under that type of practice
which the boll weevil will make it nec
essary for us to employ. Even though
the boll weevil should reduce the re
turns from our cotton fields by $5,000/
000.00 or $20,000,000.00, there Is no
reason why we should not make up
this loss and add an Increment of $25,-
000,000.00 besides, thus emphasizing
our livestock industries. To do this
we must educate our boys, for live
stock production is a highly specialized
business, as the notable success of Eng
lish and Scotch breeders has shown.
We must also provide our state with
a sufficient number of expert, trained
veterinarians to care for the health of
our animals in a satisfactory manner.
We are today losing $5,000,000.00 from
diseases and exposure alone. This is
a heavy drain on the resources of the
Georgia farmer which is largely pre
ventable.
Nothing worth while is accomplished
without leadership. Therefore, the Col-
STEER FEEDING IN
NORTHEAST GEORGIA
By M. P. Jarnagin, Prof. Of An. Hus.,
Georgia State College Of Agrl.
That cattle feeding can profitably be
done-in northeast Georgia is amply
shown by a demonstration just con
cluded OU the farm of Mr. J. E. Con
well in Hart county, Georgia.
On November 8, 1916, he received
39 two year old steers from the moun
tain section of north Georgia. These
39 steers weighed 25,228 pounds and
cost delivered on Mr. Conwell’s farm
$1348.24 or an average of $5.34 per 100
pounds. Thus it is seen that the steers
averaged approximately 647 pounds
i each at the beginning and cost $34.57

liege of Agriculture, through its Ani-
Imal Husbandry Division, is endeavor-
I ing to provide it in an acceptable form.
It cannot do this unless it has the
! proper equipment. At present stock
judging, for instance, which acquaints
students with the nature and charac
ter of the different breeds of animals,
|is conducted, on a few benches out
| in the open and the work has to be
abandoned altogether in inclement
weather. For this reason the Trustees
jof College df Agriculture and the
| members of the various farmers’ or
ganizations have decided to ask the
approaching session of the Legislature
for an animal husbandry building
which will worthily represent the needs
oMhis industry and provide the proper
facilities for the students’ instruction.
The gives an
idea of its exterior appearance. The
outside finish of the building will be
light buff brick w r ith a stand stone belt
course and window sills. The lintels
and capitals of the pilaster columns
will be of the same material. The
roof will be of red tile, the building
thereby conforming in appearance and
finish to those already erected on the
campus. This building will be very
plain, but substantially constructed. It.
will have a seating capacity ot 1,800,
and if the arena is filled with seats
it will be 3,500. It will thus afford a
proper place of sufficient size for the
farmers of Georgia to hold all sorts cf
meetings and to observe the practical
judging, handling and management of
all classes of livestock. It will pro
vide a place in whichlto hold livestock
sales, that a better class of breeding
animals may be widely disseminated in
Georgia.
The judging ring will be 35 feet by
110 feet in thfe clear. The building
will be 75 feet wide and 150 feet long.
There will be suitable offices, box stalls
for livestock, class rooms and such
other equipment as an up-to-date build
ing of this character should possess.
It will be heated by steam and lighted
by electricity. Special pains have been
taken to provide for good ventilation
through the use of monitor windows.
In honoring this great industry and
providing for proper instruction there
in the state is simply taking Out the
best boll weevil insurance possible.
per head. The different steers showed
an evidence of Red Poll Shorthorn and
Hereford blood. The total gains pro
duced showed that they were capable
of making economical use of the fe-ds
consumed. They were fed 91 days and
sold February 9th, at which time they
weighed 37,297 pounds, showing a to
tal gain of 12,069 pounds or 309.46
pounds per steer for the feeding
period. This is 3.4 pounds per head
per day.
For the first 16 days the cattle were
allowed to clean up Corn fields in
which velvet beans had been sown.
After that they were fed cottonseed
meal, silage and corn stover. For the
first feeding period from November
Bth to December 6th the ration was
20 pounds of silage, 3-4 of a pound of
cottonseed meal, and 5 pounds of
stover. For the second period from
December 6th to January 3rd they
were fed 30 pounds of gilage, 5 pounds
of cottonseed mea! and five
pounds of stover. Fram January 3rd
to January 31st they were fed 33 1-4
pounds of silage, 6 1-4 pounds of cot
tonseed meal, and 2 1-2 pounds of
stover per head per day. During the
last period from January 31st to Feb.
7th thev were fed the same ration.
During the entire period of 91 days the
39 steers consumed 99,986 pounds of
silage w hich was charged at $4.00 per
ton. 14,810 pounds of cottonseed meal
at $36.00 per ton and 14,332 pounds cf
stover at $6.00 per ton, making a total
feed cost of $509.54 plus slt>.oo, allow
ing for the 16 days the cattle ran on
stalk fields or a total feed cost of
$525.54. #
The following condensed financial
statement Is Interesting:
Cost of cattle $1348.24
Labor 91 days at SI.OO per day 91.00
Cost of feed 525.54
Interest on money invested
in cattle, 91 days, at Bp. c. 27.26
Rent for buildings and
interest on equipment . . . 50.00
Total cost $2042.04
The better cattle were sold at 8c
per pound and a few of the more infe
rior cattle w'ere sold .at 7 l-2c. The
manure was estimated to be worth
$3.00 per ton, there were 250 tons,
making a total of $750.00 The cattle
were sold for $2935.00, plus the
manure, which would make the total
returns $3685.00. Deducting the cost
of cattle, feed, labor and interest of
$2042.04, a net profit of $1642.96 la
