Conserve Life By
Conserving Food
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College of Agriculture.
During the coming yeai*, and per
haps for several years, the United
(States will be called upon to supply
the food requirements of her allies
well as her own civilian popula
tion. Above all it is imperative that
the armies have sufficient supplies,
•ven though the folks at home suffer
hunger. Only by each person doing
his share can the war be brought to
a successful conclusion. The soldier
boys do their part in fighting a ruth
less foe; you' part is to produce and
conserve the food supplies. Your duty
{ls:
1. To grow staple fruit, garden and
farm crops. Let new and untried crops
ialone.
2. To organize community farm la
bor so as to utilize farm machinery to
the best advantage. A traction en
gine in a community should be kept
busy. Business men should club to
gether to furnish machinery to farm
ers who cannot afford to purchase at
present.
8. To assist the Demonstration and
Canning Club Agents in their work.

Remarkable Record
What is believed to be a World’s
Record has been made by a Barred
Plymouth Rock pullet hatched January
Ist. This pullet began laying April
25tb, 3 months and 25 days after
hatching. Another pullet began lay
ing at 4 months of age. These birds
were bred, hatched and fed to lay at
the Poultry Division of the Georgia

Marketing
Georgia Products
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College of Agriculture.
Upon the business men of the state
rests the responsibility of establish
ing coiysuming markets for Georgia
products, not only at home, but abroad
also. For instance, om community
last year shipped several hundred car
loads of sweet potatoes to northern
markets. The individual farmer can
not do work of this kind; the respon
sibility for organization rests with the
business men. There are several Geor
gia crops which are not appreciated in
northern and eastern markets, simply
because there are no large consuming
markets for these products. An organ
ized campaign in exploiting the possi
bilities of these crops would undoubt
edly react as favorably as has such
work ,in connection with cotton seed
and peanut oil.
Educational forces, such as the State
College of Agriculture and its County
Demostration Agents, could promote
diversification with greater rapidity
in Georgia and aid in the early so
lution of the present food problem if
the business men would “clear the
decks for action” with the statement,
“Go tell the farmers to grow the va
rious kinds of food needed and we will
find acceptable markets for all they
produce.’' At present the educational
character of the work they are called
upon to perform separates the college
workers in a measure from the mar
keting end of the proposition which
Is strictly a business question. Unfor
tunately business men have not been
as aggressive or Interested in this
line of work as they should have
.been. For this reason the attempts
of our agricultural college to pro
mote diversification have often been
nullified to a considerable extent. If
the handicap is removed our agricul
tural college workers will be able to
perform a service work of the utmost
importance in the present crisis with
assurance of immediate results. Let
us all stand together—our country de
mands it.
Soy Bean Grazing For Hogs
John R. Fain, Prof, of Agronomy, Ga.
State College of Agriculture.
The principal use in the South for
•oy beans will probably be as a graz
ing crop for hogs. On sandy soils it
cannot compete with peanuts, but on
heavy soils the grow h is luxuriant
Prom 200 to 500 pounds of pork can
be secured per acre from grazing soy
beans, varying somewhat for the pro
ductivity of the soil and the variety
of beans. The grazing period is not
long since the pods burst shortly after
ripening and there is considerable
waste unless grazed rapidly. About
sixteen 100-pound hogs per acre are
required to utilize the beans to best
advantage if hogs are put on when
the beans are in the dough stage. The
beans will carry this number of hogs
from two to four weeks, depending up
on the condition of the crop.
War Bread
Miss Lois Dowdle, Assistant State Su
pervisor Home Economics
In an endeavor to reduce the to
tal consumption of wheat flour a num
ber of substitutes have been tested
and vrith very good results v For in
stance, a substitution of peanut meal
for 26 per cent of the flour will re
duct the amount of shortening and Pro
duces a muffin which is delicious, or
soy bean meal may be used with
equally good results. One very good
mixture is as follows: 50 pet cent
whole wheat flour, 25 per cent corn
meal, and 25 per cent peanut meal.
Not only is the war bread less costly
to produce, but it is more nutritious
and morn appetizing. Try it on your
**hle and see what the family think
of it!

Diversification Of
Crops Vs. System
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia j
State College of Agriculture.
A system, like a habit, may or may
not be a desirable feature. Often it
may stand in the way of distinct ad
vancement No one has any argument
against diversification of crops, and
especially In the present crisis, yet the
movement progresses slowly. Just why
Is this? Briefly:
1. On account of the cotton ware
house system which permits of the
handling of one crop only.
2. On account of the restricted
credit which now exists confining the
farmer’s effort largely to the produc
tion of one crop.
3. On account of the small capital
possessed by the average farmer which
effectually prevents his branching out
Into new fields.
4. On account of the large percen
tage of tenant farmers who do not
think for themselves and who are
willing to travel In the old i*ut just
so long as they make a living.
5. On account of the failure to han
dle diversified crops profitably which
has been the experience of hundreds
of growers, because of the fact that
our market facilities are not properly
organized.
It is Imperative that all of our peo
ple work together in the solution of
this problem; the fanners must have
the co-operation of the business men.
