AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE Cooking - Sweet Potatoes The sweet potato is a delectable food. It can be served in a great va riety of ways. It is palatable and nutritious. It contains 558 calories per pound as compared with 378 cal ories for the Irish potato. It is sweeter than the Irish potato, and contains 26 per cent more starch and sugar. As a source of energy, the sweet potato is more economical than might be supposed and compare fa vorably with all lenergy providing foods. It supplies some phosphorous and iron, and is recommended as a food for every member of the fam ily. Children will enjoy and profit if liberally supplied with sweet po tatoes. While there are numerous methods of preparing the sweet potato for use, some of the best of the receipts available are set forth below. These have been prepared and their vir tues and value fully demonstrated by the home economics division of the Georgia State College of Agri culture. Cut them out and keep them for reference. They will add variety and palatability to the dietary. Old-Fashioned Sweet Potato Recipes Baked Sweet Potatoes This is probably the most whole some'way of cooking sweet potatoes since some sweetness is lost when they are steamed or boiled. Choose smooth healthy potatoes; wash well and place in a pan In a moderate oven. Bake until soft. As soon as the potato is soft to the touch, the potatoes are done. » Fried Sweet Potatoes Partially cook in boiling water? with the peeling on. Cool, peel and cut in slices and brown in butter of meat fryings. They may be sliced, rolled in flour and browned carefully in a small amount of fat. In both cases they may be sprinkled lightly with salt. x Mashed Sweet Potatoes Put unpeeled sweet potatoes of a uniform size on to cook in boiling water. Cook until tender. Remove peelings. Mash well, season with butter, salt and a small amount of milk or cream. Beat until smooth and light and serve hot. Candied Sweet Potatoes This is a favorite southern dish. Half dozen medium sized sweet potatoes. Two cups brown sugar. One cup hot water. One tablespoonful lemon juice or vinegar. One teaspoonful cinnamon. One-fourth .cup butter. One teaspoonful salt. Partially cook the unpeeled sweet potatoes in boiling water. Cool and peel. Slice one,fourth to one-third inch thick lengthwise of the potato. Put in layers/in a baking dish, not packing too blosely.

The pudding should be grainy or ’nutty. Grated lemon rind and juice may be used for flavor ing. The pudding may be served plain or with a sauce or whipped cream. This pudding may be cooked in a steamer or in a fireless cooker with out stirring. Bations for Laying Hens. A good ration for laying hens is one made of grain and mash. Grain: 5 parts of cracked corn, 1 part wheat, and 2 parts of oats. Sunflower seed, millet, peas, or any of the grains grown on the farm may be added to this. Feed this grain at mornings and nights, giving about one-fourth at morning. It is betetr to feed it in a littler of straw, pine needles, or something that induces the hen to work for exercise. With this, feed a mash made of equal parts of wheat bran, corn meal, heavy oats, and meat scrap. Give them milk to drink as for growing chicks. If not on range, grit and oyster shell and char coal should be provided. Table scraps should be fed also. Water is essential for egg produc ! tion. Supply plenty of fresh, clean i water as for young chicks. Destroying Nut Grass on Cultivated Band. F. B. C., Pinehurst, Ga., writes: I would like to kknow how to eradicate nut grass as I have some small spots on my farm and wish to prevent it from spreading. One can destroy small areas of nut grass by the use of salt. Heavy ap plications will be needed, and this may affect the productivity of the land for time to come. Salt, as you doubtless know, is used on asparagus beds to hold back the growth of un desirable weeds and grass. It is also used on walks for the same purpose. One can often secure salt from some place where meat has been cured or kept. This low grade salt which has been used once is just as good for the purpose you have in view as new salt would be. You can necessarily secure it at a much lower cost. No method of destroying nut grass is so effective as the use of smother crops on the land. We would break the soij immediately and seed It to velvet beans or cowpeas. Velvet beans have an advantage in that they will take longer to mature than cowpeas, and thus smother the nut grass more effectively. As soon as the beans or peas are harvested, you should put the land in oats, rye or wheat. If you seed oats, put some crimson clover with them and this will help to form a denser bottom than where the oats are planted alone. In case you use rye, you might seed some hairy vetch. The con tinuance of the use of smother crops for about three years in succession will enable you to get rid of nut grass quite effectively. Treating an Infected. Udder. A correspondent, Homer, Ga., writes: I have a cow with her second calf eight weeks old which has small yellow blisters on her udder and when they dry up little bumps combe, and the skin gets thick and dry. I have been feeding her cotton seed meal and hulls with boiled cot ton seed. What remedy would The symptoms given indicate that your cow may be suffering from’.pox Little can be done after an animal has contracted this trouble. Ihe parts should be kept soft by a PP*> r " ing some healing material. Zinc ohftment is excellent for this pur nose After milking, a little of tne lotion should be applied. If the udder is creatly inflamed, bathing with hot water twice daily ise good practice. Cow/ that are affected with this dis ease should always be milked la«t so as to avoid carrying the di sease other animals. Remember the han ds should be carefuly wa shed and thor oughly disinfected. Os course we milk should not be used for food un til the udder has thoroughly cleared up and the animal has regained her usual vigorous health. Correcting Digestive Trouble in a Horse T C H., Draketown, Ga., ’uoweJ iou llIAi inq -nreat! syee an ’SJueX isvd aui Joj ujin tiooq suq tpjqMipio Xx euiu asaoq v aAßfi i isalja.A last four or five months in meet ing cars and on heavy pulls he stiffens and falls, but does not remain down long. I would like to ask what is the trouble and if there is anything I can do foi him. The description contained in y OL ?r letter indicates that your horse Is suffering from a chronic f° r ™ digestion accompanied by more or fefs colkky symptoms. When a horse eats in the ravenous manner indi cated, it is evidence of indigestiom Trouble of this character is caused bv the food not being thoroughly chewed and mixed with the digestive juices before it is swallowed. A horse in a condition such you scribe requires careful f eedi "S> dling and management. It will taxe some time to get him into good con dition. You cannot bring this aboat suddenly as he has doubtless _ been a long Ume developing the condition described in your letter. In the flwt nlace it will be necessary lor you to cut out corn from'the ration en tirely for a while. Use bian< bran and oats mixed together in equal parts for a period of two or three months. In the beginning you may use bran mashes which are PJ®‘ pared by pouring boiling over the bran, stirring, it thoroughly and then allowing to cool before feeding. Ycu should feed grain in association with hay as this will require ns more thoroughly and complete masti cation and will tend to lessen Lie disposition to bolt the food now shown by your horse. See that tne feeds are all clean and free from dust or mold. This is a. matter of the utmost importance. We suggest that a good purgative be given to begin with so as to cleanse the all mentary tract. AVe advise rather moderate feeding for, a few days. Onlv light work should be perform ed. y Water before feeding, and feed I’p 11 Iq. pl V - Prepare a condition powder as fol lows: Take equal parts of P°wderod gentian, powdered ginger and baking soda. Mix together thoroughly and give a heaping teaspoonful twice daily before feeding. HOW TO MIX ACID AND NITRATE OF SODA G I. T., Canton, Ga., writes: I have some acid and nitrate of soda which I desire to use on cotton and corn, and wish to mix them myself. How much of each should I use, and how much per acre? Can it all be applied at the time of planting and in the same furrow? If you mix together, say, 400 pounds of 16 per cent acid phos phate and 600 pounds of nitrate ot soda, you will secure a very good formula for use under corn and cot ton. On the type of land prevail ing in your section, we ordinarily recommend about a 9-3-3. Under ex isting conditions and on account or the high price of potash, it is pre; sumably all right to omit that par ticular element this year. Five hun dred pounds of a 9-3 would contain forty-five pounds of available phos phoric acid and fifteen pounds of available nitrogen. Four hundred pounds of the mixture I have sug gested would contain approximately forty-five pounds of available phos phoric acide and eighteen to twenty pounds of available nitrogen. In other words, by using 400 pounds of the mixture I have suggested, you would be supplying as much avail able plant food per acre as though you were to use 500 pounds of a 9-3. We think the suggested amount of the mixture indicated should prove quite satisfactory as a formula to use under corn and cotton on the soil types prevailing in your sec tion. We would not hesitate to put all of this fertilizer under the drill row at the time of planting. It may be put down when seeding is done or it may be applied in advance if you prefer and mixed with the sub soil by means of a bull tongue. On account of the lateness of the sea son, you probably will not have an opportunity to handle it in this man ner. We have had every good re sults, however, from putting ferti lizer under the drill row at the time of planting the crop. We can recom mend this method, therefore, to your favorable attention. GROWING VELVET BEANS IN THE NORTH A. G. J., Galatia, 111., writes: We have recently purchased from Georgia some speckled velvet beans to try here, but need some advice. At what time should we plant them and how many should be used per acre? Should they be inoculated? How should they be harvested and cured? There are two early maturing va rieties of velvet beans known as the Georgia and the Alabama varieties. The Georgia variety matures a lit tle earlier than the Alabama strain. The Alabama strain is probably a little more vigorous in growth. These varieties of beans mature in from ninety to 120 days. The speckled velvet beans you have on han'd may or may not belong to one of these strains. Some varieties of velvet beans, as you doubtless know, re quire 160 days in which to mature. They would not be suited to your locality. » Velvet beans may be planted when corn is seeded. We prefer to put them down with the corn. They may be sown alongside the drill row with a planter in which the plate is so adjusted that it will drop them every eighteen inches and cover them to a depth of two and one-half to three inches, When planting velvet beans in corn in this state in the manner indicated, we generally use a peck to one-half bushel of seed per acre. It is not necessary to inoculate velvet beans, as they are, a large seeded legume and appar- ently they retain a sufficient amount of the bacteria on the surface of the seed to provide the necessary inoculation. In this state we do not plant velvet'beans by themselves ex- | cept for the purpose of soil improve ment. In that event, they could be put in hills four feet apart in each direction. They will soon spread and cover the ground in this climate. They make an astonishing mass of roughage when grown in this man ner. We sometimes graze them. They are seldom cut for hay, as they are very difficult to cure and the leaves shatter and dry up very quickly. For purposes of soil im provement, they are a desirable crop. They are also valuable for grazing in this section, where grass does not grow as abundantly as In Illinois. -A HOME MIXED FERTILIZER FORMULA M. W. K., Coluiubus, Ga., writes: I have been thinking of making my own fertilizer out of nitrate of soda and 10-4 ' aei.d. How should these ingredients be mixed to get the best results? I want to use abo ( ut 400 pounds per acre. Is it better to put it all in with the seed or reserve some for side application? Under your conditions we would use 75 to 100 pounds of nitrate of soda with each 400 pounds of the 10-4 goods you now have on hand. We would mix the nitrate of soda with the basic fertilizer, and put the whole amount under the drill row at the time the crop is planted or slightly, before if you prefer. In your sec-’ tion of the state and under the con ditions which are likely to exist there this summer, we do not believe you will find it good practice to use side applications of commercial fertilizer on cotton. If side applications are used at all, they should consist wholly of nitrate of soda or some other quickly available carrier of nitrogen and the applications should undoubtedly be made immediately after the cotton has been chopped to a stand. LONG STAPLE COTTON IN NORTH GEORGIA M. A. G., Elberton, Ga., writes: I have some Hartwell’s long staple seed. Will long staple seed make a crop in this section, and is it an early cot ton? What varieties do you advise to plant to get ahead of the weevil? We have not tested this particular strain here, and, therefore, cannot speak of its merits at first hand. Some of the long staple uplands will no doubt do fairly well in north Georgia even under boll weevil con ditions. The varieties we recommend for cultivation are the following: College No. 1, Piedmont Cleveland, Steinheirner’s Cleveland, Wannamak er’s Cleveland, Sunbeam, Hooper’s Big 8011, Texas Bur, Express (long staple upland) and Webber 49 (long staple upland). The long staple up land cotton must be ginned on a rol ler gin in order to secure a lint oi high grade and quality which will command a premium on the market. Moreover, it is difficult to sell a few bales. It is rather desirable under such circumstances to make sure be fore planting Strains of this character that you can get the cotton ginned properly and can find a ready mar ket therefor. Os the short staple uplands, we have found College No. 1 to be the earliest strain which we have tested as yet. It was developed here on the college farm by our pjant breed ing experts. Next to it ih earliness appears to be some of the strains of the Cleveland Big 801 l THE MERITS OF THE BUSH VELVET BEANS C. S’. M., Waycross, Ga,, writes: Have you ever, tried the Lush velvet bean, ami can they be planted earlier than cow peas When shopld soy beans be sown, and how much per acre? Will velvet beans and soy beans make a crop of hay bn poorer soil ihan cowpeas? Is it necessary to inoculate them, and where can I get the cultures? We have tried the so-called “Bush” velvet bean. They are characterized by a more compact growth than some of the other strains of velvet beans. They do not produce as much vine nor do they tend to run as much as some other sorts. We think that a gallon to a peck of velvet beans con stitutes about the right amount to sow per acre. We prefer to plant velvet beans alongside the drill row inf the case of corn rather, than to seed them in the middle of wide rows. We have never had much satisfac tion from the cultivation of velvet beans by themselves, * as we have found it almost impossible in this climate to cure them out .satisfac torily for hay. This is due in part to the tender, brittle character of the leaves which shatter off the vines so readily that it is dif'ieult to save, them in the making gs hay from this crop. Velvet beans cannot be planted earlier than cowpeas or soy beans. All of these crops may be seeded at about the same time that field or garden beans are plant ed. AU of these crops are rather susceptible to cold and so should not be seeded until the land has warmed up to a temperature of about 80 de grees.- We. would plant about two pecks of soy beans per acre. This crop may be seeded with corn or planted In drills twenty-four or thirty inches apart. In south Georgia we are dis posed to think that cowpeas would prove more satisfactory for the pro duction of hay than soy beans. The principal objection to velvet beans for hay-making has already been stated. As a rule, we have not found it necessary to. inoculate £.ny of these crops.
