As the time draws near for the
big rally and barbecue which the
Farm Bureau of Baldwin County plan
to hold for its members and invited
guests on Thursday, August 4th,
keen anticipation is being exhibited
in the event.
There will be four prominent speak
ers on the program, and the topics
to be discussed will be sufficiently
varied to make the talks interesting
and instructive. Mr. J. D. Howard,
the iiTepressible Dave, will act as
Master of Ceremonies and introduce
the speakers.
Farmers, why have joined the
Farm Bureal . but are unfamiliar with
the purpose of the organization and
what it expects to accomplish for the
agricultural interests, should not fail
to attend this, meeting, for the Presi
dent. Mr. Kelly, will bo hui’e and dis
cuss in details the principles for
which the Bureau stand; what results
the organization is securing in other
states, and what it will accomplish in
Georgia if given proper supp rt. The
market man of the Bureau will also
he here fnd disccuss cooperative mar
keting and how ffarmera can utilize
this medium for disposing of thoir
surpi s crops, and thus solve a prob
lem which has worried the Georgia
farmer since lie has had to turn from
cotton to other products of the soil.
The livestock man will discuss the
growing of animals on the well bal
anced farm, and last but not least,
tho woman speaker, who has a very
pleasing personality and whose re
putation on the platform, as well as
in tlie university, has prreosde 1 liev
here, will address her remarks prim
arily to the women of the farm, and
how tho country ht mo can be made
the "Home Beautiful" in reality as
well as in name.
Practically all tlie details r t the
event have been worked out, and ever
tiling is in readnoss for a day of inter-
•tarfnments as well asone of instruction
ind prefit. The rally will be lield in
the grove of Messers. McKinley and

ly commence at abcut 10:50 in the
morning.

i Grazing Crops For Hogs
* If tho farmers of Baldwin County
are to raise more hogs they neod to
grow more grazing crops. One or
.two hugs can be raised cheaply by
teach family from tho kitchen slops
and some corn, but if a half dozen
or more are grown, some kind oi
nheap feed must lie had to substitute
for tlia slops Grazing crops will
<lo this to a large extent. They
will also tend to keep the hogs heal-
(their.
, Tlie first requirement in grazing
lugs in this section is to have a
permanent pasture where good water
can be lmd at all times with little
trouble. This pasture should have
(Bermuda grass and lespedeza on the
Uplands, and Dallas grass and white
jrlovcr on the bottom lands. During
The summer there will always be
plenty of grazing in the pasture, but
?n the spring and fall when the woatli
fpr Is dry, the grazing will be short.
lAt these times a goal grazing crop
next to t'he pasture Is needed. If
lone is to to be supplied, a field will
liave to be fenced so the bogs can
fee turned in when the crop is ready
The grazing crops suited to our
Conditions are as follows:
FOR SPRING GRAZING
OlYEi—The best crop f r poor lands.
♦OATS—Good for medium rich lands.
IMckes pigs grow fine.
(WHEAT—Suited to rich lands. For
fattening in the spring.
BARLEY—Suited to rich lands. For
fattening In the spring.
RAPE- Excellent on rich lands
when the winter is mild.
BUR CLOVER- Adapted to rich
lands. When once started and graz
ed carefully it will lust for a number
tof years. *’ • -
A|2FAEFA—Only for the richest land
Good far Rummer and fall hIso.
FOR PALL GRAZING
PEAS—Best fer poor lauds, very
dependable.
SOT BEANS -Make more than peas

TORN—Should he grown with peas
