Let The Boy Raise A Pure Bred Pig
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of
Agriculture.
Why not let the boy join the pig
club movement? Any boy between
the ages of 10 and IS may join. Aside
from the interest the boy will take
in raising tlie pig, the Influence of
proprietorship and value of the con
structive work upon his young life,
he will find* a good deal of financial
encouragement. He may obtain n
scholarship to the short course given
for boys and girls prize winners, at
the State College of Agriculture,
where he will get an outlook and in
spiration that may mean great things
for him.
The prizes he may win at the coun
ty and state fairs will not only amount
to a considerable sum, but the repu
tation gained for the animal, If a
breeding animal is being used, will
make possible fancy prices for the lit
ters. In fact, the boy may get his
start in life as the result of joining
the pig club.
To join a pig club and carry out its
provisions means that he must keep
records of feed, gains In weight, costB
of gains and thus begin to learn that
successful farming must be done in a
business-like way.
The organization of a pig club is
simple- The school teacher will take
the matter of organizing in hand, cir
culars of instruction can be obtained
from the State College of Agriculture,
the club can be enrolled and names
sent to headquarters at the College.
Information about how to feed, what
crops to plant, what kind of pig to
buy, etc., can be obtained from the
expert in charge whose headquarters
in Georgia are at the College of Agri
culture at Athens. In fact, everything
is made easy for the pig club boy. He
will be expected to exhibit at. the fairs
and carry his work through in good
shape.
The boys are showing what they
can do in raising corn. Along with it,
let the boys show how they can make
the best use of corn by feeding it to
pigs.

An orchard can be protected
against light frosts by the smudging
method. For this purpose there are
smudge pots or orchard heaters on
the market. Should these seem too
expensive, a good substitute is afford
ed by making smudge fires of wet
grass, straw, old leaves, primings,
etc. About 100 small piles can be
placed to an acre, most of them be
ing put on the side from which the
wind is blowing. The purpose, of
course, is to keep the smoke over
the orchard. It is important that
the smudge fires be used early in the
morning before the sun comes up to
prevent too rapid thawing out of froz
en flowers.
As a rule, when the temperature is
33 degrees, and it looks as if the tem
perature is going lower, start, the
smudge fires. It can not be expect
ed that this method will save from
severe freezes, but it can be used oc
casionally with great profit.
Boy’s Profit On
Three Acres, $285.49
J. Phil Campbell, State Agent
Charge of Club Work, Col
lege Of Agriculture
In
Maurice Crowder, of Walker coun
ty, a corn club boy, has demonstrated
that he can make a profit of $286.49
on three acres in one season. His
crops were corn, cotton, oats and soy
beans. On the acre devoted to corn
he raised 116.6 bushels at a profit of
$75.30. His cotton acre produced 2,-
240 pounds of cotton, from which he
made a profit of $36.89. The acre de
voted to oats produced 131 1-4 bushels
at a profit of $87.90. After the oats
had been gathered, the land was dtsc-
ed and sown to soy beans. From this
crop he gathered 10,614 pounds of dry
hay at a profit of $85.41. The total
profit from Hie four crops on three
acres was therefore $285.49.
Soy beans, It will be seen, brought
greater returns than any other crop.
This crop and the oats preceding
made a total profit from one acre
$168.31. Thus it will be seen that
the corn club boys are capable of
growing other crops and a larger acre
age and make a success.
Increasing The Corn Yield In Georgia
Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
Land intended for corn should be
thoroughly prepared. Peep plowing
to accommodate the deep root system
of the plant Is advisable. It is essen
tial that organic matter be added to
Georgia soils either In the form of
green manuring or as barnyard man
ure or in the form of leaves and lit
ter from the woods, or in compost.
This gives not only protection against
drouth, but the decay adds humus and
plant food.
Corn requires a soil rich In nitro
gen. One hundred bushels of corn
removes from the soil about 15^J
pounds of this element. At the time
of planting apply not less than 500
pounds per acre of a fertilizer analyz
ing four per cent organic nitrogen, 9
per cent, phosphoric acid and two. or
three per cent potash. If potash Is
not available from Germany, unleach
ed wood ashes or cotton seed meal
may be of some assistance in this
respect. A side application of fertil
izer of the same analysis should be
made at the rate of about 200 pounds
to the acre about six weekB after
planting.
But if the land is carefully prepar
ed and liberally fertilized, it does not
follow that there will be a good crop
unless the seed are well selected and
proper cultivation is given. Obtain
seed of a variety that has done well
in your locality, test the seed for
germination strength and plant seed
only from ears showing high record in
germination.
Give frequent, shallow cultivation
till the ear is fully developed. Culti
vation is often stopped at the wrong
time. Deep plowing during cultiva
tion destroys rdbts and does much in
jury. It is therefore Important that
only shallow cultivation be given and
that a mulch be maintained as con
stantly as possible between the rows.
The Farmer’s Good Friend, “Bob
White.”
M. M. Nice, Nnrmun, Olila.
"Would you allow men to come and
shoot your best pullets or your prize
turkeys? Toads are estimated to be
worth $3 to $5 each to the farmer on
account of the injurious insects they
eat. A ‘bob white’ destroys twenty-
five times us many insects as the toad
does in the course of a year. That
would bring the price of ‘bob whites’
to fabulous prices—as much as a fine
cow or a good horse, but even if you
put their value as low ns that of the
toad—would you encourage strangers
to carry off your best poultry? F. J.”
Bob Whites” eat vast numbers of
the most injurious insects and weed
seeds. Their diet includes ragweed,
smartweed, morning glory or bindweed,
pigweed, crabgrass and sunflower seed.
One quail wus found to have 1,000 seeds
of crabgrass in its crop, and another
2,000 seeds during a day. A thousand
seeds of ragweed were found in the
crop of one "Boh White.” Three hun
dred seeds of smartweed were eaten
at one meal, and 2,250 seeds during a
day. Pigweed is well liked by “Bob
Whites." One bird had 400 seeds of
this weed in its crop; a tame bird ate
12,000 seeds in one day.
Cotton farmers may consider the
“Bob White” as one of their beat
friends. It eats the cotton worm, cot
ton boll worm and cotton boll weevil.
Forty-seven of these dreaded weevils
were found in one quail’s crop. Grass
hoppers, cut-worms, army worms, bean
leaf beetles, plant lice, false chinch
bugs, ants, striped cucumber beetles,
corn hill hugs and chinch bugs are
among the injurious insects devoured
by "Bob Whites.” One hundred chinch
bugs were found in the crop of one
quail, and two tablespoonsful of these
pestiferous creatures in another. A
week-old bird ate 2,326 lice in one day,
while an adult bird ate 5,000. One day’s
food for another "Boh White” con
sisted of 533 miscellaneous insects and
1,000 grasshoppers.
By a long series of tests on tame birds
I found that a "Bob White" eats abou
seven pounds of weed seeds in a year,
or 75,000 insects and 5,000,000 weed
seeds. If you have a covey of a dozen
quail on your farm they will help you
to the extent of 900,000 insects and 00,-
000,000 weed seeds each year. Suppos
ing, instead of letting this covey be
shot, you post your land, keep the birds
safe from hunters, cats and dogs, you
might easily have five coveys the next
year, and these would eat 4,000,000 in
sects and 390,000,000 weed seeds. And
as the insects would be largely cotton
pests, or wheat peBts, or garden pests
and the seeds ragweed, morning glory,
or others equally as bad, can you afford
to let these birds be slaughtered?
. If you gare for the happy whistle and
sweet ciill noteB of the "Boh White,’
if you want to have your crops
protected from their worst ene
mies, and your weed pests kept in
check, post your land at once, and en
force the signs. “Bob Whites” are
among the most valuable assets on your
farm.
