Establishing A Good Georgia Pasture
Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
To plant something like fifty acres
to Bermuda, it is best to undertake
to use of sets. Secure a large quan
tity of roots, run them through an old
cutting box and till a wagon bed. Then
scatter them broadcast. Then run a
roller over the land so as to press
the sets into the soil, if the land has
been fallowed and is in good condi
tion, the roots will tnke hold and
grow more rapidly than would other
wise be the case. If the field Is
rough and broken, run furrows about
three feet apart and drop the sets
three to four Inches in the row and
step on them in passing so as to press
them into the soil.
It is not satisfactory to establish

Laying Tests Of Breeds
Roy F. Irvin, Poultryman, Georgia
State College Of Agriculture.
Four groups of hens of different
breeds have been under a 59-day test,
at the College of Agriculture in which
the relative cost of feed care and re
turns has been figured in terms of a
year. Not until a year’s results are
obtained, of course, can the actual an
nual performance of the birds he
known for a year’s period.
Thirty Rhode Island Reds, two
years old, cost at the rate of $1,10
per year for mash, 40 cents for
scratch feed, 50 cents labor or total
cost of $2.00. The average number of
eggs per year estimated on the 59-
day test is 266.45, which at 25 cents
per dozen, would bring $5.55, leaving
a net profit of $3.55 per lien.
A group of SO White Leghorns, two
years old, consumed an average of
74 cents in mash per year, 40 cents
scratch feed, 50 cents labor, total cost
$1.64. Average number of eggs per
year 113.SS, value $2.3S, net profit per
hen 74 cents.
A group of 100 White Leghorn pul
lets netted S cents profit per hen.
Fifteen Barred Plymouth Rocks, two
years old, averaged 74 cenls worth
of mash annually, 40 cents scratch
feed, labor 50 cents, total $1.64, aver
aged 151.47 eggs per year, value $3.15,
leaving a not profit of $1.51 per year
per hen.
The birds used in the test were all
healthy, pure bred stock, kept in
good houses, given plenty of fresh wa
ter and food, and otherwise well man
aged.
The feed in the test consisted of dry
mash of the following materials and
parts, corn meal 4, bran 6, shorts 6,
alfalfa meal 5, beef scraps 1, cotton
seed meal 2, clipped oats 2. The
scratch feed is made as follows :
Cracked corn 2, oats 1, wheat 1. The
mash is fed in hoppers and birds eat
at will. The scratch feed is fed in
deep litter, one handful to ten hens
in the morning and twice as much
in the evening. They are given a
small amount of green food daily,
lawn clippings, winter cover crops,
etc., which have not been charged in
the above accounts.
Summer School Work
In Agriculture
John R. Fain, Professor of Agronomy,
Ga. State College Of Agriculture.
In connection with the Summer
School for Teachers conducted at Hie
University of Georgia, June 28th-July
31, a course will be offered in agri
culture, one part of which is designed
to meet the needs of teachers in ele
mentary grades of tho public schools
and the other for high school teach
ers.
The general outline of the state
text-hook in agriculture will ho fol
lowed, hut special emphasis will ho
given to experiments to bo carried
on by students in the school garden.
Excursions will bo made to the vari
ous parts of tho College farm, and
tho laboratories of different depart
ments will be utilized In studying vari
ous laboratory experiments.
In the high school work special em
phasis will bo laid upon experiments
or laboratory work to he carried out
in connection with texts and moro ad
vanced work will be taken up than
that outlined in tho elementary work.
Increased Attendance
At Farmers’ Meetings
Guy W. Firor, Secretary of Extension
Service, Georgia College of Agr.
A series of four-day schools for
farmers in the state of Georgia held
during the early part of this year
showed an increase of attendance of
58.4 per cent.
The record of attendance for the
summer meetings Jpr farmers showed
an increase in attendance of 9.4 per
cent over the attendance of the pre
vious year.
The farmers’ schools this year were
not held where there were not a giv
en enrollment of farmers with a tui
tion of $1.00 for each put up in ad
vance.
Plans for summer meetings are now
being perfected. The usual number
will he held. They will he free. Those
counties which have not already plan
ned for an institute should do so at
once.
Do Not Expect Too Much Of Lime
Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
To obtain some data on lime, tests
were instituted several years ago on
a number of soil areas in the south
ern part of Georgia. The applications
of lime varied from 1,500 to 3,000
pounds per acre. Fifteen hundred
pounds of caustic or biting lime were
applied to some areas and 3,000 poundp
of the finely ground raw rock to other
areas.
Comparatively little benefit seems
to have been obtained from the use
of lime in combination with fertilizers
under corn, cotton or oatH.
The conclusion naturally drawn by
the average farmer would be, there
fore, that lime was not valuable un
der Southern conditions for general
field crops. This would be a mistake.
Chemical analyses of many type soils
in Georgia indicate some of them to
be acid, and in some instances several
hundred pounds of lime would be nec
essary to correct the acidity.
It is quite evident that where an at
tempt is made to grow legumes that
an acid condition of the soil is unde
sirable; and to this end nothing can
be used to greater advantage than
lime.
Applications of burned or caustic
lime at the rate of 1,000 pounds per
acre under cowpeas gave an increase
of better than 1,300 pounds of peavine
hay per acre.
The sweetening of the land is a
material advantage for all leguminous
crops, as it enables the organisms by
which they assimilate atmospheric ni
trogen to multiply and develop under
the most satisfactory conditions. In
fact, on strongly acid soils these or
ganisms do not Beem to thrive prop
erly.
An attempt to supply it through
its use as a filler in commercial fer
tilizer is not desirable. First of all,
the quantity is too small, and, second,
it is quite certain that the lime when
mixed with acid phosphate will cause
a reversion of a part of the phosphor
ic acid into less available and, there
fore, undesirable forms.
The use of the pulverized raw rock
at the rate of one ton per acre for
ordinary legumes can be recommend
ed. In using pulverized limestone, it
is best to apply it as a top dressing,
a few days before any fertilizer is put
into the soil. It is only necessary to
harrow it well into the surface of the
ground. Its tendency is to sink down
into the soil.
Clean Up and Kill the Mosquitoes.
"Clean-up time is here, and so is mos
quito time. Gird on your swatting
armor and go forth. One moment,
however, before you go—‘the female is
more deadly than the male.’
"Among mosquitoes the members of
the ‘fair’ are fierce bloodsuckers that
inject an irritating poison into our
skins, and they may accompany the
close of toxin with a few fever germs.
The males lead a comparatively tame
existence, subsisting on the juices of
plants and fruits." So says a mem
ber of the University of Wisconsin
b ology department.
"The speckle-winged anopheles, the
malarial mosquito,” he continues
“hibernates during the winter in our
attics, cellars and closets. The pres
ence of many lakes, swamps and ponds
often makes mosquitoes an intolerable
pest.
“The female mosquito gorges herself
with blood in order that tho eggs may
have abundant nourishment. She de
posits her little egg raft on tho surface
of quiet water during the night, and it
floats there until the larva? hatch. Tho
larva? are the ‘wigglers’ or ‘wiggk?-
tails’ which are seen in ponds and rain
water barrels the world over. Though
mosquito larva? always develop in water,
they must breathe air, and frequently
come to tho surface. After a few days
the larvte sheds its skin and becomes a
big-headed pupa, which rests nt tho
surface until it splits up tho buck to
allow the adult mosquito to emerge
"The best way to get rid of mosqui
toes is to destroy their breeding places.
This not only means draining swamps
and filling in ponds, but gathering up
tomato cans, putting netting over horse
troughs and rainwater barrels and
watching the eave troughs. If it is
impossible to got rid of standing water
near your premises, oil placed on ponds
will kill the larva?. Kerosene or any
light fuel oil will serve for this purpose.
About one ounce of oil will, cover fif
teen square feet.”
"One of the characteristics of my old
comrade, Amos Stillman, was bravery
in actual lighting service," said the old
soldier. "Another characteristic was a
sense of humor which stood him in
good stead, even in time of danger, and
contributed hot a little to the gaiety of
his comrades. At the battle of Cold
Harbor, just before making the charge,
and while under the Confederate (ire,
our corporal, who was over six feet
high and scarcely bigger around than
a gun-burrel, becume excited as the
enemy’s bullets ploughed up the earth
about him.
“ ‘What kind of a place is this to
keep a man in?’ he demandad; ‘ab
solutely without protection!’
"He had no more than spoken when
Private Stillman struck his ramrod in
the ground.
“‘Here, corporal,’ said he, ‘get be
hind this. ’ ”

Sorehead Of Chickens
Dr. W. M. Burscn, Prof. Of Veterinary
Science, Ga. College of Agr.
Sorehead of chickens is a germ dis
ease. The germs are very resistant |
to disinfectants, and v.-ill live on prem
ises for years. Affected fowls develop 1
wart-like growths on tho comb, on
wattles, in corners of eyes and
mouth, sometimes forming ulcers on
the membranes of the eyes, mouth and
throat. The disease develops most
rapidly during damp seasons.
For prevention, keep the poultry
houses sanitary, provide plenty of
clean, dry litter, clean often and spray
frequently with 4 per cent solution
of compound cresol solution.
To treat affected birds, remove the
scabs from comb and wattles and
paint with tincture of iodine or 10
per cent solution of crenlin. Apply
powdered chlorate of potash to ulcers
in mouth. Use 2 per cent boric acid
solution In the eyes.
County Soil Surveys
W. A. Worsham, Professor of Agricul
tural Chemistry, Ga. St. Col. of Agr.
The physical survey of Turner coun-
ty has recently been completed and
similar work is being concluded for
Washington and Laurens counties,
and field work in Wilkes county will
be started at once. Fly the physical
survey is meant the surveying of ev
ery kind of soil found in a county,
mapping these types and publishing
them in bulletin form along with de
seriptions of the soils, their adapta
bility to crops and what they show
by chemical analysis, of plant food
content. The chemical analysis is
made in the laboratories of the Col
lege of Agriculture, ft is a much
slower process than the physical sur
vey or field work.
The soil survey and chemical anaiy
sis is supplemented by crop tests by
the Department of Agronomy of the
College of Agriculture, for leadiut
soli types.
