?y Root THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT ITS ADAPTABILITY TO SOIL OF SOUTH GEORGIA. WOULD BE A PAYING CROP Starch Factories Would Be Started and These Would Pay Good Prices For Product. Cassava is another important product that can be profitably raised in South Georgia. Professor Stockbridge of the Florida Experiment Station says that this plant furnishes an excellent feed for stock as well as for man. There are two species of the plant—one known as the sweet, the other as the bitter cassava. The former is the one so highly recom mended by Professor Stockbridge. The sweet cassava, which is already cultivated to a considerable extent in Florida, has this supreme advantage over the other species (the bitter): that it can be fed to stock in its natural state without risk of harm, but with great advantage. It is also a very palatable table vegetable. It has five-parted leaves and longer roots, but generally much lighter in weight than those of the bitter cassava, which is such an impor tant article of commerce in Brazil and other South American countries. The bitter cassava should never be used for stock, because its sap contains the highly poisonous hydrocyanic acid. But this plant is also a very important one in South America. Heat dissipates the poisonous principle, and the concen trated juice is used as the basis of cassa- veep and other sauces, while from the sliced and dried roots are produced sev eral food preparations, as Brazilian ar rowroot, tapioca, etc. Let it be remembered that it is the sweet cassava that is so highly recom mended for South Georgia. Mr. L O. Wade of the Southern Bail way com pany, who has been to considerable pains in investigating the adaptability of this plant to South Georgia soil, is sat isfied that it will grow as well in Geor gia as in Florida. In comparison with other starch vegetables one acre of South Georgia land will produce 4,000 pounds of starch, while the best corn or potato land in Illinois or Michigan ean produce only 1,200 pounds of starch to the acre from these vegetables. Whenever a sufficient amount of cassava has been planted, starch facto ries will be started, and it has been esti mated that these will pay five dollars a ton loaded on the cars at any station within 100 miles of their factory. Oas- sara is easily propagated by cuttings of the stem and is of rapid growth, attain ing maturity in six months. The pro duction is at least sixteen times that of wheat. The introduction of these new indus tries will greatly add to the population and wealth of Georgia.—-State Agri cultural Department. We note some good suggestions in a late bulletin issued from the Experi ment station Manhattan, Kansas. The horse, cow or sheep will do well and ! thrive on good pasture in spring and : summer alone. But if this grass be ; cut and cured into good hay and fed : alone “to the animals they will lose I their appetites in a short time and be- ; come thinner and will cease to look | well. Cause? The hay is a dry, while the grass is a succulent feed. Berne- |dy: Grow some suceulent feed for the • -winter. I After corn silage, we would suggest roots as_ perhaps the next best succulent feed for winter use. One of the best of j root feeds is the mangel wurzels. Su- | gar beets have been grown successfully j by only a few Georgia farmers, so far 1 as we know. Mangels can be grown ! profitably, in our climate, provided a good rich soil, with plenty of moisture, is selected. Prepare an acre of land as ' you would a garden, and dropping the ■ seed as you plant garden beets, in rows I 30 inches apart. Six pounds of seed are •! required for an acre. The long red ! mangel yields most, but it is not a good 1 keeper. The golden tankard will keep i until June. Cultivate as you do com. i Thin with a hoe to one plant every six inches in the row. The mangels are good to aid in fat tening your hogs; make your cows give rich milk, help the calves get through the winter and spring. Try an acre. Should be planted from the mid dle of March to the 10th of April, not later.—State Agricultural Department. : a girl can find ont. who her husband will be by consulting a fortune tell- err Dr. Wiley’s Letter. Dr. John M. McCaxdless, State Chem ist, Atlanta, Ga.: Dear Doctor McOandless—I accord you, with pleasure, the permission to publish my analysis of the Georgia wheats in any way you may see fit. In regard to the statement previously made, in some of our bulletins, that the southern wheats were the poorest in the United States, I desire to say this state ment had reference entirely to the con tents of nitrogen and gluten in such wheats. Experience ana research have shown that the longer a wheat grows the more tendency is shown to develop starch at the expense of gluten. It is well known that the spring wheats, which mature in three or four months, contain larger relative quanti ties of gluten than the winter wheats which grow seven or eight months. The analyses which I have made of the Georgia wheats certainly show that there are localities in Georgia where the gluten and nitrogen contents of the wheat, which I presume is winter wheat, oempare favorably with similar wheats grown much further north. Therefore the statement previously made should be modified as indicated above and should not be made general of all localities in the Southern states. You are also at liberty to use this statement in the publication of the ana lyses. Sincerely, H. W.

The climate is not only pleasanter, but also more healthful. Secretary Wilson, of the United States Department of Agriculture, in a late in terview, said: “The South has marked advantages over the North with regard to production. * * * The winters in the South Eire mild; grasses, grains and legumes can be sown in the fall, which grow abundantly through the winter and upon which the dairy cow and the mutton sheep may graze and thrive. The South can prepare the spring lamb much earlier than the North can. •fChe Southern landowner under stands horse-raising. There is always a greater demand for saddle horses than is supplied. The world wants carriage *ad draft horses and good roadsters. “Early spring chickens—the broilers— can be produced down there, because they have milder winters and milder springs. Should the market become overstocked, we can send this product abroad in the refrigerated compartments of our steamships. ” If throughout the above quotation from Secretary Wilson the word “Geor gia” be substituted for “South” and “Southern,” the statements made by him will be equally applicable.—State Agricultural Department. “The Noblest Avocation of Man.” 'Such the old Bomans called agricult ure. From the plow Cincinnatus was called to the helm of state at a time of imminent peril, and throughout the days of the republic and the early and better times of the empire orators, statesmen and poets cultivated fields, gardens and orchards, and wrote beautiful essays and poems about fields, fruits, flowers and bees. In the old time days before the civil war some of our most successful farm ers were retired merchants and eminent lawyers and statesmen. It seemed in those days to be the ambition of men to acquire money in mercantile pursuits and in the learned professions that they might have money with which to buy land, and spend the evening of life in peaceful retirement on a well stocked and well cnlcivated farm. They had not the advantage of the improved im plements of today, but they used the best then known.—State Agricultural Department. Cow Peas For the Table. Of course every farmer in Georgia knows the excellence of the pea vine for hay and as a restorer of wornont soil, and he is also familiar with the cow pea as a nutritious food for the milch cow. The cow pea is also_ much used for the table and some varieties, as the black-eyed pea and Crowder pea, are very palatable. —-State Agricultural De partment. T. To The Deaf.
