FIROFt During the past few years Georgia has been producing sweet potatoes at a rapidly increasing rate. In 1909 the crop was estimated at 5,000,000 bushels; in 1917 it reached 13,000,- 000. This great increase has been due to the stimulation given to the production of food crops by the low prices paid for cotton in 1914; by the boll weevil infestation of many of the south Georgia counties; and by the high prices paid for all food products during and since the war. The sweet potato being one of the south’s most important food crops, it has naturally played an important part in the trying days of the war when food became the first line of defense in the stupendous conflict. In looking for a basic and staple food crop, the farmers of the south ern states cannot find a better one than the sweet potato, because it possesses the two prime essentials of any food crop. Adapted to Soil It is excellently adapted to soil and climatic conditions and can be pro duced in quantity cheaply without making any' radical change in organi zation and equipment. Also it meets the natural and’ scientific desires of the consumer. It is tasty, when properly prepared, and of very high food value, being better than the Irish potato in this respect. Consequently, each year the sweet potato has become a greater mone tary asset to the state than it was the year before and there is no pros pect, excepting a national economic or political calamity, that it will not continue to hold its well merited position. Adapted to Coastal Plains The sweet potato is a crop adapted best to the Great coastal plains, which lands are almost completely in the southern states. The value of the sweet potato crop of the south ern states was $35,000,000 in 1909; $60,000,000 in 1916, and $100,000,000 in 1918. It has been during recent years that the sweet potato has become a profitable crop when grown in quan tity by any one grower. It has only been recently that there were mark kets for this crop other than those GUARANTEED \ Inner Tube Free /ZW\ \ Positively greatest tire offer //\Wa \ ever made!

It has only been during the last four or five years that there were any practical storage facilities for keeping the surplus of the harvesting season so that it could be evenly distributed over the consuming year. At harvesting time it used to be next to impossible to sell sweet po tatoes for any price and in the spring it was difficult for the consumer to buy them at all. If the potatoes were sold in the fall the price was extremely low; if stored in banks or pits the losses in decay and discoloration were usually high—often as much as 25 to 50 per cent. Even when, owing to good weather conditions and exceptional care in the construction of these banks and pits, the crop was suc cessfully stored, it was found that the cost of making a new storage house (of soil) annually and the banks or pits were subject to weath er conditions, throughout the winter; even to the taking out of the potatoes for sale, as it is not advisable to open a storage house when the soil is wet. Marketing Facilities With the organization of companies for the storing and marketing sweet potatoes, this natural product of the south came into its own for the first time of the history of the state. These companies are, as a rule, pay ing a cash price for this product as it is delivered at the warehouses at harvesting time and thereby put ting it on the basis with cotton. They are large enough to justify a marketing organization that cannot only investigate and make connec tions with the markets of our own cities, but they can go into the mar kets of the north and west to sell their holdings. This is a momentous progressive step as anything sold ‘ out of the state is a profit to the state as a whole. Furthermore, it relieves the local markets in the fall at a time when they used to be glutted, giving to the small producer an opportunity to sell his crop locally at harvesting time. The most unsatisfactory method of marketing sweet potatoes is the con signing of the crop to commission men in bulk. Unless the small hold er can sell locally, or sell to‘ a stor age house, he necessarily is forced to consign his product. With the organization of marketing associa tions and companies for storage this unsatisfactory scheme of handling is disappearing. For information fn reference to the growing, harvesting and storing of sweet potatoes, communicate with the division of horticulture, Georgia State College of Agriculture. Washington Farmers Build Potato House County Agent H. A. Cllett recent ly sent In a report showing the method of organizing a co-operative sweet potato storage house: The Washington County Sweet Po tato company was organized May 28, 1919, at a meetinng called by County Agent H. A. Cliett. Twelve farmers greatly interested in potato storage houses were present. It was determined to form a co operative company with an initial capital stock of SIO,OOO, with the privilege of increasing it to $50,000. The stock was Issued in $25 shares Organization officers elected were C. D. Shelnut, president; H. A. Cliett,; secretary; C. Findley Irwin, treas urer. The president and secretary sold the stock without a great deal of trouble. The charter was accepted and five directors were elected on July 9. Permanent officers were also elected. They are: C. D. Shelnut, president; Jeff A. Irwin, vice president; H. A. Cliett, secretary; C. Findley Irwin, treasurer. Work on the house was begun and it was soon completed. The house was built according to government specifications. It is of 15,000-bushel capacity, having three units of 5,000 bushels each. On account of the late date at which the house was completed, and adverse seasonal conditions, the house was only partially filled. Tho potatoes are keeping well. County Agent Cliett and the Wash ington county farmers are planning to erect another large potato stor age house In another portion of the county this year. 10,327,530 POUNDS OF TOBACCO GROWN IN GEORGIA THIS YEAR This year Georgia produced 10,- 327,530 pounds of flue-cured to bacco, which sold for an average of $17,73 pei- hundred pounds. This average was made from the com plete reports of eight warehouses. Some of the markets in sections that did not suffer so badly from rains as others made an average for the season of $21.00 per hundred. Good tobacco sold high, but the rains caused a large amount of low gfade tobacco and therefore made the average for the season low. Yield Low The yield per acre this year was lower than last year. This is to be expected, however. The yield not only varied a great deal on different farms, but it is Interesting to note the difference in yield in different counties. Records made of 121 farms from 15 different counties show an aver age yield of 450 pounds per acre. While the average yield for 28 farms in Berrien county was 650 pounds, only the tobacco sold was considered. Most tobacco growers had low grade tobacco that was not put on the market. Some farmers sold only half of their crop, therefore the average yield this year is not a fair indication of the amount that can be produced under normal con ditions. Yields varied from 200 to 1,600 pounds per acre. The average total yield was about 600 pounds per acre. The average yield last year was 750 pounds. An average yield of 700 to 1,000 pounds can be ex pected under normal conditions. The variation of the gross returns per acre was unusually wide, vary ing from $5.00 to $400.00 on the farms studied. Most of the farmers who received very small returns were the ones who did not trans plant their tobacco until June or July, or whose fields were practi cally drowned. Most of the farmers who seeded their plant bed in January trans planting by the 20th of April made a profit on their tobacco. A record Grasses and Clovers for Georgia Pastures, Having Been Tested A study of successful pastures in our state shows that we have several grasses and clovers grow ing well under our conditions. The most important ones are: Lespedeza or Japan clover, Ber muda grass, Carpet grass, Dallis grass, White clover. All these except bermuda have in the majority of cases been intro duced accidently into the pastures. With a small beginning they have increased and formed a complete sod. All of them spread by produc ing seed which are eaten by animals and scattered in the droppings. Bermuda grass produces a few fertile seed but spreads by means of its roots also. Under moderate grazing, Carpet grass and Lespedeza are heavy seeders, while white clov er and Dallas grass are modearte seeders. Soil Adaptations Lespedeza is the most Important pasture plant in Georgia. For graz ing on poor soils, it is unexcelled. Given plenty of moisture it will grow almost anywhere in the state. Bermuda grass ranks second, be ing well adapted to the red hill section of the state. Because of the cold winter in the mountain coun ties and of the sandy top soil in nearly all of south Georgia it is not so successful in these sections. Car pet grass grows wfill in the low, moist places and the “clayey” and well packed slopes of south Geor gia and in • the ' bottoms of north Georgia as far north as Atlanta. Given an opportunity by the clear ing away of native growth, it will spread more slowly over the hills. Very heavy grazing of the native grasses from early spring will soon kill them out, allowing carpet grass and Lespedeza to come in. Dallis grass will endure more .ex- Poison Weevils With Calcium Arsenate Result of Experiment The demonstrations of poisoning the boll weevil with calcium arsenate have given results that are very en couraging. The great frequency of rainfall during July and August made it impossible to keep poison on long enough to get mkny weevils as every application of poison was wash ed off within forty-eight hours and nearly every one within twenty hours. Conditions Unfavorable For this reason some of the dem onstrations were abandoned and sev eral of the demonstrators did not have the cotton on poisoned acre' 1 - weighed separately because they felt that climatic conditions had made it impossible to give the poison a fair test. Make Several Applications To be successful the poison should be applied while the dew is on the plant and there should be four to six applications using four to eight pounds of poison per acre at each application. But in most of these demonstrations we failed to get the poison on before the dew had dried, and in only two places were more than three applications made. The best results were obtained in the demonstration with County Agent J. G. Liddell, on Mr. W. C. Crom- Georgia Breeders Appoint Committee To Establish a M arket for Meade Cotton At the August meeting of the Georgia Breeders’ association a com mittee was appointed to establish a market for Meade cotton. Up to this time most of the Meade cotton had been marketed as Sea Is land and as the Sea Island cotton seed would probably be almost if not entirely wiped out under boll weevil conditions, it seemed necessary to establish a market for Meade. Mr. Harry Brown, extension agent in marketing, of the Georgia State College of Agriculture, was request ed to take the matter up with the growers and see how much cotton could be secured. Approximately 125 bales have been listed. Messrs. J. E. Hite, of Sylvester, Ga., and J. W. Williams and L. E. Rast, of Statesboro., were appointed to confer with cotton dealers and as certain what arrangement could be made for marketing. The commit tee investigated a number of places, and concluded that it would proba bly be better to have more than one point at w-hich to assemble the cot ton. Arrangements were made with the following wa: 'houses: Gordon-Smart company, Savannah; A. J. Strickland, Valdosta; the Cot ton Warehouse company, Atlanta; E. M. Pennock & Co., Charleston, S. C. A much better market can be ob tained by getting.a number of bales together than for each grower to market individually. In the past of 28 farms in Berrien county show ed that an average of $136.00 per acre gross was received. For begin ners in a new section with very bad weather conditions, this showing is very good. Date Tobacco Unprofitable Leaving out the weather, most of the failures were* due to poor plant beds. The plant bed is the key-note to success in the tobacco business. The farmer who sows his plant bed early and has plenty of good, strong plants to set all of his tobacco the first part of April has won half of the battle. Late tobacco is rarely ever profitable. A great many failures were due to lack of experience. There were a number of instances where a good tobacco man would have paid for his services for the entire season with one barn of tobacco. Prices Advanced Tobacco is now selling very high on the North Carolina and Virginia markets. It is unfortunate that Georgia sold her crop before tobac co made such a big advance. The Georgia tobacco crop would prob ably bring twice as much now as it did when the crop was sold. It has been thoroughly demon strated that Georgia can and has grown bright tobacco that compares favorably in every particular with that grown in any section of the United States. It would be a mistake for the farmers who have already bought their experience and have curing barns and other equipment not to continue growing tobacco if their soils are adapted to the crop. It would not be wise to advocate the opening of many new markets another year. It requires a good quantity of tobacco to get buyers and it requires a full corps of buyers to secure the highest price. Experience in the tobacco belt over many years has shown that the small markets do not pay. We could not do better than to devote our efforts to increasing the size of the markets already established. tremes of drought and water, heat and cold than any southern pasture grass. It is an early grower, ap pearing two or three weeks before in spring and remaining green two or three later if kept grazed during the summer. Normally it grows in bunches but it will form a complete sod if the land is fertile enough. White clover is the most dependa ble grazing plant we have for early spring and late fall. It is well adapt ed to the bottom soils of north Geor gia but indications are that it is not so well adapted in south Geor gia. Langthening Grazing- Seazon It is important that the grazing season should be as long as possi ble with a permanent pasture. The ideal would be grass for twelve months and consequently no winter feeding. Our best pastures do not furnish more than five to seven months of heavy grazing and two or three months of light grazing. The heavy grazing is during the summer and early fall when plenty of mois ture is present, and the light graz ing during the early spring and late fall. There are several plants that may be regarded as possibilities in help ing to increase the pasturage during the early spring and late fall. Among them are: Bur clover, block medic, rescue grass, red top, tall oat, rye grass, and orchard grass. These are not recommended as furnishing a great deal of pasture every month of the winter but simp ly as a supplement to the summer grazing. They will not be as suc cessful except under special condi tions as lespedeza, carpet grass, dallis grass, white clover and ber muda grass. ley’s farm at Brooklet, in Bulloch county. Five applications were made and thirty-five pounds of poison used. Cost of Application! Allowing $1 as the cost per acre for the use of the machine, twenty five cents per hour for labor of application, and $1 per hundred for picking the extra yield of cotton, and charging the calcium arsenate at actual cost, the expense of poisoning the acre of cotton was $16.54. This expense may be considered a bit high as the labor Is charged at the rate of $2.50 per day, which is more than was paid for wages labor and be cause the number of hours allowed was more than the number actually taken to do the work, but the calcu lation was made on that basis as under field conditions labor would probably demand the wages allowed for this work and it would probably take about two hours per acre for each application. The cost items were: Calcium arsenate, $9.75, la bor $2.50; machine sl, picking ex tra yield $3.29. The yield on the poisoned acre was 1,455 pounds of seed cotton jvhile the yield on the check acre next to it was 1,126 pounds. Meade cotton has sold as Sea Island but this season an effort was made to sell it as Meade, i. e„ to place it on a basis of its own merits. About 150 bales were concentrated in the warehouses mentioned. The Cotton Warehouse company announce the sale of one lot of Meade cotton at eighty-two cents per pound. It is expected that the acreage in Meade cotton will be greatly in creased this year and an effort will be made in the fall to again concen trate all this cotton in a few ware houses in order to handle it to bet ter advantage. , Cutting Inferior Trees It is an excellent forestry prac tice to cut out the badly diseased, crooked, over-crow-ded, inferior trees in a wood lot for fuel wood, giving more growing space to the straight promising young trees, according to forestry specialists of the United States department of agriculture. In some cases, such as in stands of old pine, a few large trees should be left for seed to restock the land, unless the area is to be cleared. In many septions of the country the present high prices of coal have made profitable a renewal of the wood fuel industry so that many farmers are finding it worth while to clear out the less desirable trees in their wood lands and cut them up into cordwood or shorter lengths. THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1920. Steer-Feeding Tests Now in Progress Two steer fattening demonstra tions have already been started this year: One at Gainesville conducted by Mr. R. Banks, and one at Com merce conducted by Mr. W'. A. Burns. Mr. Scott Murphy, at Talmo, will put thirty head of steers on feed in two weeks. This will make three within the radius of twenty miles. Several others in the various sections of north Georgia will be started before the first of the year. Mr. Banks has fifty head of hlr grade steers, averaging 908 pounds. He is feeding sorghum pomace silage, cotton seed meal and hulls. The meal is thoroughly mixed with the pomace silage before it is fed. The cattle will be weighed every two weeks. The feed is being weighed up ea«h day by basketfuls. This demonstration should be of incalculable benefit to Georgia, be came of definite results from feed ing straight pomace silage and the unusually careful check under farm conditions on daily amount of feeds .bnsumed. Mr. Burns has two lots of ten steers each in his demonstration. These steers were purchased in North Carolina and average about 800 pounds. Individual weights are be ing kept, thus giving a good com parison in individuality of the good and poor gainers. Immunity to Hog Cholera Lasting A series of recent experiments on duration of immunity to !hog chol era following simultaneous inocula tion of young pigs supports the con clusion that the protection is last ing. The investigations were con ducted at Ames, lowa, by specialists of the United States department of agriculture. Altogether 171 pigs, Inoculated when a week to six weeks old and ex posed to hog cholera, at times vary ing from 5 months to 9 months and 26 days later, were found without exception to be immune to that dis ease. Three of the pigs, however, died during the period of exposure from causes other than hog cholera. There was no apparent ill-effect from the simultaneous inoculation in any of the pigs. There was, no difference In the im munity of pigs from immune and nonimmuna sows. • Pigs that were approximately one week old received 10 cubic centimet ers of anti-hog cholera serum and 1-2 c. c. of virus. Pigs that were three weeks old or more received from 15 to 20 c. c. of serum and from 1-2 to 3-4 c. c. of virus. Immunity was tested by injecting 5 c. c. of virus into the animals when they had attained weights exceed ing, in many cases, 200 pounds. None of the hogs contracted cholera. The experiments appear to disprove as sertions by some observers that sim ultaneous inoculation of young pigs is not lasting and that immunity dis appears at stages of frowth various ly placed from weaning time up to 50 or 60 pounds in weight. Small Start Is Best The safest way for those who are about to make their first attempt at poultry raising is to start in a small way with a few fowls and learn the business thoroughly before making large investments. Mistakes will be made and many difficult problems will be presented for solution before success in any large makfiure will be attained.

You can’t co'ntrol the price very well, but you can govern the yield to a considerable extent—and because you natu rally want to get maximum returns from the seed you plant, you will do everything within your power to insure a big yield. For instance, when it comes to the very portant matter of cultivation, you are not going to endanger your crop by using a cheap, flimsy ' ’ cultivator that misses many weeds and, because i of its loose, bored bearings, wobbles so that it dodges into a corn hill every now and then, up rooting the young stalks. You can hold an International riding culti vator close against the corn rows with ease— * it is steady and the wheels track straight, because they are furnished with adjustable bearings so that any play from wear can be taken up very readily. And there are.no weeds left behind an International. See the International dealer the next time you are in town and ask him to show you his lirie i of International Corn Cultivators. r Wflwr 11 T INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER Company y vKk - of America Jwp WK CHICAGO USA .11 II- _II Mt J I - . pon’t neglect that barn of yours ' --don't wait until the paint wears off and the wood starts to crack and rot.
