Permanent Pas
tures Need Help
The permanent pasture needs
help during the summer to provide
the most of grazing and this help
should be in the form of other graz
ing, often called temporary grazing,
according to Agent John D. Daniel.
“On most farms there is not
enough improved permanent pas
ture to carry the milk cows through
। the summer. The pasture is often
over-grazed early in the year and
when really hot, dry weather ar
rives milk production falls off. This
। r
is the time when some extra graz
: ing is badly needed.
' “Some of the crops that can be
used for summer grazing are soy
beans and cowpeas, cattail millet or
' brown top millet, Sudan grass and
other hot weather plants. Peas and
1 cane are often planted following
1 grain and makes good grazing crop.
• They are usually sown broadcast.”
1 Mr. Daniel recommended the
planting of millet and Sudan grass
, in two or two and a half foot rows,
, so that they can be cultivated once
or twice to keep down the weeds. It
will pay to use some complete ferti
lizer at planting time and stable
manure when available will often
double the amount of grazing.
Start grazing when plants are well
rooted and when they are six or
eight inches high. The protein con
tent of the young plants is so much
higher than when they are older,
he said.
Kudzu makes fine grazing for the
milking herd.
“With good prices prevailing for
Mik and cream, we should try to
keep production up. And milk can
be produced at a low cost when lots
of good grazing food is available.
At the same time the expense for
bought feed can be kept low and
that means or should mean more
profit for the producer.

Satan and Hitler
Hitler called the Devil
On the telephone one day.
The girl at central listened
To all they had to say.
"Hello”, she heard Hitler’s voice say.
Is old man Satan home?
Just tell him it is Adolph
Who wants him on the ’phone.
The Devil said, “Hello”, to Adolph
And Adolph said, How are you?
I’m running here a Hell on earth
So tell me what to do.
What can I do? The Devil said,
My dear old Adolph friend
If there’s a thing that I can do
To help you, I sure will.
Adolph said, now listen
And I will try to tell
The way that I am running
On Earth a modem Hell.
I’ve saved for this many years
And I’ve started out to kill
That it will be a modern job
You leave to dear old Adolph.
My army went to France
Shooting women and children down
We tore up all her country
And blew up all the towns.
My planes dropped bombs on cities
Killed both old and young
And those the bombs didn't get
Were taken out and hung.
I started out for London
With the aid of poisonous gas.
The British —darn them
Stopped us and wouldn’t let us pass.
My submarines are devils
Why, you should see them fight
They go sneaking through the sea
And sink a ship on sight.
I was running things to suit me
'Til a month or so ago
A man called President Roosevelt '
Wrote me to go more slow
He says to me. Dear Adolph
We don't want to make you sore
So be sure to tell your old subs
Not to sink our ships no more.
We’ve told you for the last time
So, Dear Adolph, it’s up to you
And if you don't stop it
\>u have got ns to fight too
I did not listen to him
And he’s coming after me
With a million soldiers
From their homes across the sea
Now, that’s wiiy I called you, Satan
For 1 want advise from you
I knew that you would tell me
Just what I ought to do.
My dear old Adolph Ilittler,
Them's not much for me to tell
For the Yanks will make it hotter
Than 1 can for you in Hell.
I've been a mean old Devil
But not half as mean as you
And the minute that you get here
I'll give my job to you.
I'll be ready for your coming
And I’ll keep the fires all bright
And I’ll keep your room all ready
When the Yanks begin to fight.
Fm the boys in Khaki ’ll get you
I’ve nothing more to tell
Hang up the 'phone and get your hat
Aad meet me here in Hell.

A Quail’s Menu
—o— > ,
Jeffersonville, Ga. —
At a recent meeting of the
Twiggs County Civic Club
Dr. G. L. Carver stated that
investigation on the part of
Mrs. Margaret Need and Dr.
C. A. Hodge discloses that
a single meal for a quail con
sists of the following:
100 cinch bugs, 12 squash
bugs. 2,326 plant lice, 39
grasshoppers, 12 cut worms.
12 army worms, 568 mosqui
toes, 101 potato beetles, and
8 white grubs.
That in a single day a
quail could destroy 5,000
chrysanthemum black flies,
1,350 house flies. 1286 rose
slugs, 1532 insects (1000 of
which were grasshoppers,
141 species of insects.)
It is estimated that one bob
white is worth from $5 to S2O
