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 FOR SALE! * One Bay Horse, 10 years old, weight 1100 pounds.

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.
