Large Crowd Attends Dehydrator Demonstration
0T"
:| j|
* ? -
m* \ * •• , , I J
Dehydrator of Livestock Feed which was Demonstrated Monday by the
Cleaver-Brooks Co. in Perry on the Charles Farmer Place.
v.
Representatives from ten
states were included in the 1,500
people who attended the demon
stration of the Dehydrator of
Cleaver-Brooks Co. Monday on
the Charles Farmer place in
Perry and heard speakers tell
how dehydration can solve the
problem of livestock feed in
Georgia and in all of the south
ern states.
Interestedly, the crowd watch
ed cull sweet potatoes fed into
the mammoth machine which in
a little while ejected them as
high-grade livestock feed at the
rate of a ton an hour. The pro
cess is as follows; The dirty po
tatoes are washed, passed thru
a macerator, and the pulp dried
in a two-pass drum of one ton an
hour capacity for potatoes. Then
the meal is drawn through sepa
rators which eliminate the hot
gas and the dry feed is expelled
into sacks.
Sweet potatoes were the crop
demonstrated Monday but the
dehydrator in Perry has success
fully dried for feed lespedeza,
kudzu, peanut hay, sorghum
cane, soybeans, and other feed
stuffs. Results of the processing
of these homegrown Southern
crops were on display.
Monday’s demonstration cli
maxed extensive research and
experiments by Cleaver-Brooks
jCo. of Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
[manufacturers of dehydration
| equipment, and made a reality
the ideas of the Industrial divi
tion of the Georgia Power Co.
and of the Georgia State College
of Agriculture, two of the pro
moters of dehydration of animal
food.
The success of this project is a
source of gratification to Charles
Farmer, on whose property the
dehydrator is located, for he had
the vision to see its possibilities.
Others who encouraged its loca
tion in Perry are Sam A. Nunn,
mayor of Perry; W. T. Middle
brooks, county agent of Houston 1
county, and the entire member-1
ship of the Perry Kiwanis club:
which sponsored Monday’s affair. |
Following the demonstration, a 1
real southern barbecue lunch
was served by the Perry Kiwa
nis club assisted by the Sorosis
club. Geo. Francis Nunn is presi
dent of the Kiwanis club and |
Mrs. Mayo Davis, president of:
the Sorosis club. Alton Hardy
was chmn. of the barbecue com-,
mittee.
After lunch, a program w aS'
presented with the following I
speakers participating: Paul W.
Chapman, dean of the Universi-1
ty of Georgia College of Agricul- j
ture; Paul DeLeon, of the;
Cleaver-Brooks Company, Mil-1
waukce; Mr. Farmer, W. H. ]
Barnwell, Atlanta, Georgia Pow-I
er Company industrial divisioi
manager; W. T. (Tap) Bennett,
Savannah, agricultural develop
ment director for the Central of!
Georgia; L. N. Ware, Auburn, I
Ala., horticultural and forestry 1 ,
department head at Alabama j
Polytechnic Institute, and J. F. j
Jackson, Savannah, whom Mr. j
Bennett succeeded.
Dean Chapman, making the |
principal address, pointed out;
that not enough livestock feed is l
i raised in Georgia to feed the j
) present stock population. Geor
• gia is so short on feeds, said he,
: that an additional 1,120.000 tons
i of grain equivalent and 110,000
i tons of hay are needed over and
I afcove what we are now produc
i ing.
i Especial emphasis was put upon i
■ the processing of sweet potatoes [
by Mr. Farmer He had been in-|
terested in curing and drying po-j
i tatoes for some years, when hej
i joined efforts with Mr, Barnwelli
; 'of the Georgia Fewer Company,!
i to bring a Cleaver-Brooks ex-1
• perimental plant to Ferry.
That sweet potatoes, when de
ll hydrated, equal dried corn as a
[ I carbohydrate feed for live stock,
ilisoneof the recent decisions of
i i agricultural experiment stations.
■ In Georgia, the cost of produc
; tion of sweet potatoes is lower j
I than that of corn and the yield isi
better. Th e establishment of
> sweet potato processing plants in
> Georgia makes possible a great
. advance in livestock industry,
Mr. Farmer said. I
i A great advantage resulting l
from dehydration, according to
; the agricultural agents present,
! lies in the saving of products,
otherwise wasted. The farmer
. who sells sweet potatoes of No. 1
I grade, always finds himself with
j j a great many culls left over.
[Formerly, those were wasted to
i a great extent. Now, those culls
■ are processed at Ferry and pro
jduce a valuable feed and bring
'more cash to the farmer, agri
! j culturalists said.
.' The successful completion of
II this dehydration experiment is
(important to Southern farmers
i! because it removes a barrier in
i the development of the area’s
: livestock industry, opens a new
market for the sweet potato
crop, and forms the basis for a
, new industry in the South —de-,
hydration plants, it was stated.
The city of Ferry, located in |
! the heart of Georgia in one of i
I the richest agricultural sections
i.of the country, is proud to be j
Ithe site of the pioneering of this i
!industry, the dehydration of
foods for livestock feed. Such a
sentiment was expressed by G.
i F. Nunn, president of the Kiwa
nis club as he welcomed the
I visitors on Monday’s great oc
casion.
Miss June Farker spent the
(Thanksgiving holidays in Abbe
ville as the guest of Shirley
’/ Farker.
j Mr. and Mrs. Henry B. Sutton
j and daughter, Sandra, were the
'guests of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
1 Farker and family for the week-
I end.
Mrs. A. M. Anderson Sr. hon
lored her nieces, Mrs. Felix Jew
-1 ett and Mrs. Fred Markett and
I Mr. Markett, of Macon, with a
J dinner party at the New Perry
I hotel Sunday. Other guests
were Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Ander
son and family and Mr. and
! Mrs. Pearsall Brown and family.
| Mrs. Wm. Stubbs has returned
i home from Emory University
■ hospital and is recuperating
nicely.
i Pfc. Eugene Boyd of Fort Mc-
I Lellan, Ala. spent the weekend
with his mother, Mrs. A. C. Watts.

ESTABLISHED 1870
GREEN ACRES BEGIN
TO SHOW IN HOUSTON
Results of the second Green
Acres Contest which is sponsor
ed hy the Perry Kiwanis Club
and the Houston County Farm
Bureau is beginning to show up
all over the county. On the
highway leading to Macon, there
are more fields of winter legumes
than has ever been seen before.
This is true on nearly every road
leading out of Perry.
The increase of Blue Lupine
over the other winter legumes is
very noticeable. In 1943 there
were only 40,000 pounds of Blue
Lupine planted in the county. In
1944 there were 90,000 pounds
and this year, over 250,000 lbs.
of Blue Lupine have already been
planted.
Fields of Blue Lupine can
easily be spotted, due to the rich
dark green of the foliage as con
trasted to the light shade of
green of the grain crops. It
must be an inspiration to the
traveler when passing through
our county to see cur fields tak
ing on new life in the winter
when only a few years ago you
could ride for miles and miles
and occasionally find a green
field in the midst of one brown
lifeless field after another.
The acreage of Austrian Win
ter Peas and Vetches seeded this
fall is somewhat less than the
amount seeded last year, how
ever, the total acreage of winter
legumes planted this fall is a
little higher than the amount
planted last fall.
The increased yields resulting
from the turning under of winter
legumes has long been recogniz
ed and now that we have a win
ter legume that produces an
abundance of seed, it should not
be many years before we can
really paint the county green
and thereby enrich our soils to
meet some of the post-war de
velopments in this business of
farming that now seems to be
taking place. The tremendous
possibilities of the dehydration
of certain crops for feed is one of
these developments.
The success of such an under
taking depends upon getting the
maximum possible yields and we
know that the only way to insure
these yields is through Soil Con
servation.
IASKET-BALL SPOTLIGHT
By G. F. NUNN
The Panthers came roaring
back last week after their defeat
by Cochran the week before, and
blasted the flashy Marshallville
team by a score of 46-34. Mar
shallville was blessed with a big
team that averaged better than
six feet in height, but the Pan
thers had far more endurance
than the visitors, after a half
time score of 20-18, came back
to run up a commanding lead in
the final stages.
i Marshallville was paced by
Williamson, brother to Johnny of
the local Rogers store, and he
made shot after shot that looked
impossible. But the accuracy of
Pierce and Cooper, and the hus
tle of Thompson, Bledsoe and
Ogletree was too much for the
red-shirted lads from Macon
county. So it was a good ball
game from start to finish, with
the locals showing enough form
to keep the frantic fans from
worrying too much, and the
visitors staying right in there to
make it interesting throughout.
This week the Panthers jour
ney to Montezuma, and next
week they entertain Byron here
on Friday night. Come out for
the fun.
Mrs. O. B. Muse was given a
lovely luncheon Nov. 19, her
birth anniversary, by Mrs. A. M.
Anderson Sr. ac the New Perry
hotel. Covers were laid for
Mrs. H. E. Evans Sr., Mrs. A.
W. Dahlberg, the honoree and
the hostess.
Mr. and Mrs. Royce Kersey
announce the birth of a daugh
ter, Mary Lynn, on Saturday,
Nov. 24, at Dr. Gallemore’s
Clinic in Perry. The paternal
grandparents are Mr. and Mrs.
C. L. Kersey of Bonaire and the
maternal grandparents, Mr. and
and Mrs. R. B. Smith of Belton,
Texas.
Mrs. H. L. Hackney and Miss
Doris Hackney of Upper Darby,
Penn, were recent guests of
'Mrs. E. D. Smith.
