POTATOES FOR LIVESTOCK |
Georgia has set out to be a
livestock state.
One of the handicaps is feed, j
especially corn.
Georgia, like the whole south
ern region, is not a corn-produc
er. There is no need to hope it j
will be.
The average cotton belt corn
yield is around 10 to 12 bushels
per acre. In the corn belt it
runs between 30 and 40.
Now comes the result of five
patient years of research by j
Georgia college experiment sta- j
lions and by private industry.
The progressive* little city of
Perry, Ga., is to be the scene of
the first public demonstration of
the possibilities of sweet pota
toes dehydrated as a stock
feed. Guests are to be there
from all southeastern states from
Virginia to Texas.
A dehydrator has been work-;
ing for 12 months at Perry. )
Built by the Cleaver-Brooks I
Company, of Milwaukee, it has j
successfully converted green
oats, oats and vetch, peavine,
ki d/,u, green corn, including
stalks; lespedeza, cow pea hulls
and other crops into dry feed |
with a protein content compar-'
able with that of alfalfa hay.
Cow pea hulls, a waste pro
duct, make an excellent feed.
Sweet potatoes seem, however, j
the real answer for cattle feed
ing. On reasonably good land
we can produce in Georgia the |
equivalent of 70 bushels of corn I
per acre. In other words, we
can double the per acre output of
the corn belt. Dehydrated
sweet potatoes are found, after
the strictest sort of analysist, to
be as good as corn for feed, pos
sessing all the food and fattening 1
elements.
Georgia spends about $1,2i0.-
000 each year to bring in feed.
By using the high quality feeds
obtained from sweet potatoes
which, in bulk, will produce
about 201) bushels to the acre,
equivalent to 70 bushels of co n
when dehydrated. T h u «, hv
making use of the fee ls to be
had from dehydrated field crop ,
a real revolution may be w rked
in Georgia agriculture.
Perry’s Kiwanis Club, with
Mayor Sam Nunn as master of
ceremonies, expects to entertain
some 7,000 guests on Nov. 20
and touch off a wave of enthusi
asm which will make dehydrators
as common as cotton gins, as.su.-
ing cheap, good feed to enable
Georgia to become a great stock

THE EDITOR
VALUE OF IGNORANCE
Patrick Dugan, illiterate Jjit en
terprising, obtained a job as sexton.
[ and was doing quite well in his new
position, until there was a burial in
his churchyard and he was asked
to sign the certificate. Pat admitted
reluctantly that he could not write,
and was discharged.
The unemployed man scratched
around and found a few small car
pentry jobs, and then, as the years
went by, he was able to build up a
large and prosperous contracting
business. Wealth and position be
i came his.
One day Pat needed $75,000 for a
new development, and went to the
1 bank to borrow it.
“You can have the moneV. Mr.
Dugan,” the banker told him.
“Just sign these notes.”
"Oi can’t write,” said Pat.
“Can’t write?” exclaimed the
banker. “And yet you have become
one of the most wealthy and influ
ential men in this community. What
j would you have been today if you
j could write?”
“A sexton making $5O a month,”
replied the clever Irishman.
