Short Term ’Grazing Crops
Supplemental or short term graz
ing crops for hogs can often be used
by the hog rancher to good advant
age. The place these crops should
have in the rotation, time at which
they should be seeded for planting,
the'period, when the crops will give
| the largest amount of grazing and
the method of handling grazing
crops of this character are matters
of primary importance to swine
raisers. Therefore, the information
which has been collected on this
subject .will be found worthy of care
ful study' by the average hog grow
er in Georgia. Many of the ideas
suggested below are of great prac
tical importance, and will enable our
hog raisers to- lessen their produc
tion costs, quite materially. It goes
without saying that the facts pre
sented are based on the experience
of the field workers of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture.
It is not always possible to have
permanent pasture for pigs when
forage is needed for them, therefore
great wisdom and judgment will be
displayed by providing temporary
forage, such as oats, rye, rape,
millet, sbrghum, cowpeas, etc., to
assist the permanent pastures In
furnishing green feed for the pigs.
These cereal forage crops when
about 6 to- 10 inches high carry con
siderable protein, a' muscle building
constituent needed- particularly .by
young growing animals. Analyses
show that rye, oats and wheat when
about 8 inches high carry more di
gestible crude protein than the
legume, alfalfa. As alfalfa is an out
standing forage this comparison
makes it evident that one or more
of these cereals should find a place
in the grazing crop scheme for hogs.
Father than furnishing excellent
feed for hogs the system of cereal
forage in conjunction with perma
nent pasture makes it possible to
shift the animals from a field that
has been grazed to exhaustion to a
fresh field or pasture where green
grazing may be had.
Oats. An early fall planting of
oats will come on in time to fur
nish some winter grazing and will
continue through the spring. Pigs
and hogs of all ages do well on oat
grazing if some concentrated feed
is fed with it. Oats will not stand
as close grazing and as much tramp
ing as permanent pastures, so care
should be taken not to graze too
closely or to overstock the field.
Rye and wheat. These crops are
more hardly than oats and will also
endure more severe winters. Rye
as a hog grazing crop is more popu
lar in Georgia than is wheat al
though there is very little difference
in their actual feeding .value. Vir
tually the same principles that ap
ply to the fall planting of oats may
be followed with rye and wheat.
Rape. This member of the turnip
family is one of the best grazing
crops for hogs. The habits of the
plant are such that it stores its
nutriment in the leaves and stems
which are'the portions eaten by the
hogs. Rape is a hardy plant and is
suited for fall and early spring
planting. About 6 to 10 weeks aft
er planting the crop may be. grazed
Its quick growing qualities together
with its hardiness make it valuable
as a late fall and spring forage for
hogs. Dwarf Essex Is the best va
riety for grazing purposes. It should ,
be sown in rows about 16 'to IS
inches apart. For best results ir
should be sown on good rich land
which should be fertilized at time
of planting.
Millet.—This is a rapid -growing
plant that develops rank forage and
is a good spring and early summer
grazing crop for hogs. It may be
sown either broadcast or in drills.
Millet requires fertile soil and the
fields should be rotated freely, as the
crop is rather exhaustive to the soil.
A mixture of millet-and cowpeas is
a good grazing combination for hogs
and is not, so detrimental to the soil
as is millet alone.
Cowpeas.—ln pratcically all sec
tions of Georgia this legume pro
duces good grazing. Cowpeas thrive
on land that will not in many cases
support other leguminous crops. The
fact that this crop is a soil builder
adds td its value. In the grazing
system for hogs, ’ cowpeas are most
widely used as an early summer
forage.
Sorghum and Cowpeas.—The com
bination of sorghum and cowpeas is
very commonly used in Georgia as a
hay crop, and as such it is valuable
to the live stock farmer. It Is no
less important and valuable as a hog
grazing crop. Sorghum is a drouth
resistant plant but draws heavily
upon the fertility of the soil. Where
the amount of sorghum is reduced by
the addition <?f cowpeas' the crop is
not so exhaustive to the soil as is
sorghum alone, and the resulting
forage is of higher quality. Not only
does this mixture draw less upon
the fertility of the soil, but the cow
peas due to their leguminous prop
erties are a decided benefit. It is
true that cowpeas cannot stand
drouth as well as sorghum, but their
I soil-building tendencies overbalance
this trait. This mixture of crops is
I gaining favor among big raisers of.
I Georgia on account of its ability to
I furnish summer grazing.
Corn and Velvet Beans. —Another
Important combination of crops for
grazing or “hogging off” is corn and
velvet beans. The velvet beans are
not particularly palatable to hogs,
but on account of the soil-building
properties of the plant, velvet beans
are planted extensively with corn.
Corn is a feed that is a great fat
producer and is universally known
as the great hog feed. The advan
tage of “hogging down" corn is that
a saving in labor of harvesting and
feeding is effected and the waste in
the manure produced is reduced to a
minimum.
Peanuts.—The principal use of
peanuts as a hog feed is not that of
a grazing crop, but as a fattening
feed which is obtained directly from
the nuts. Hogs relish peanuts, and
when feeding on them fatten very
rapidly/ The pork formed, however,
is oily and of a dark yellowish color
and does not stand in favor with
the buyers at terminal markets. On
this account it is well for the pro
ducer of market hogs on a large
scale to feed peanuts in limited
amounts. The waste nuts left behind
the peanut picker are, in numerous
cases, allowed to be consumed by
hogs turned into the field after the
crop has been harvested for the com
mercial peanut market. This is an
economical practice, but in many in
stances causes a soft condition in
the pork and pork by-products pro
duced which is difficult to eliminate
oven bv later feeding on corn. Pea
nuts which are not especially ex
haustive to the soil are well adapted
to the southern part of Georgia, as
they require a Warrii sandy soil.
Sweet Potatoes.’ —Abqut 68 per cent
to 70 per cent of the sweet potato is
water, so this tuber Is a bulky feed.
It is high in starch and low in pro
tein content, therefore its function as
a hog feed is to produce fat rattier
than muscle. In sections of Georgia
where large yields are made, this
crop may be used advantageously to
reduce the amount of grain required
in the ration. A common practice
is to allow hogs to follow in the field
after the potato'digger and feed upon
the cull potatoes not suitable for
commercial purposes. Potatoes re
jected at the potato house may be
utilized to advantage and profit by
feeding them to hogs. z . n
this practice it is not advisable, on
account of their bulkiness, to feed
more than two pounds to two and
one-half pounds of, potatoes for each
pound of grain in the ration.
Other crops adapted to certain
sections of Georgia and * ese ’’™ e °e
consideration as forage for hogs are
soy beans, bur clover, crimson clover,.
white clover, vetch and chufas.
Information About Field Crops
H. W„ Blun, Ga., writes:
Please send me bulletins on
growing artichokes, chufas,
sugar cane, and tell me whether
cowpeas need manuring or not
when planted for hay purposes.
You can obtain much valuable data
of the character you are necking by
securing a list of the available bul
letins published by .the United States
Department of Agriculture and writ
ing for those you desire to your con
gressman, your federal senator, or to
she S secretary of agriculture direct
These farmers’ bulletins constitute a
very valuable library for the farmer.
Thev can be purchased at a cost ot
a few cents if they cannot be secur
ed in the manner I have suggested.
Our state college of agriculture and
experiment stations publish a great
variety of bulletins.
Cowpeas, as you doubtless know,
belong to the leguminous family.
They are credited with the power of
extracting a greater part of the ni
trogen they need from the air. If
vou dig up a cowpea plant when it
is six to ten inches high and look at
the roots carefully, you will find a
considerably number of little, white
knots on them. Inside of these knots
live certain microscopic organisms
having the power to assimilate ni
trogen directly out of the-air. Some
times you will find that cowpeas do
not prosper on land where they have
not been planted before and on old
soils that have become acid. The
bacteria in question cannot live in
an acid soil. Under such circum
stances, the cowpeas have no power
to secure the relatively large amount
of nitrogen they need. Hence, they
do not prosper. On new land, there
may not be a sufficient number of
the bacteria present on the seed to
provide for the proper inoculation of
the crop. Especialy is this likely to
be true the first year after it is plant
ed. The use of a culture for inocu
lating cowpeas under the conditions
described may, therefore, be good
practice. On land where they have
been grown successfully, we cannot
say that it has proven profitable to
inoculate cowpeas artifically. This
crop makes quite a heavy use of the
phosphoric acid and potash resources
of the soil. It is good practice under
existing conditions to use two to
three hundred pounds of acid phos
phate per acre under cowpeas when
planted for hay. When potash can be
purchased at a reasonable price, it
will pay you to use enough of this
material to supply each acre with
from twelve to twenty-five pounds of
readily available potash, »
VAPrETTT.S OP PEANUTS FOR
SOUTH GEORGIA
R. 8., Bainbridge, Ga., writes:
Please let me know the best va
riety of large peanuts tp grow
in this section. When is the
best time to apply nitrate of soda
to sugar cane and how much
should be used? Some farmers
claim they have had their crops
burnt ana ruined by using it.
Among the of peanuts
which you can grow to advantage for
the purpose you have, in mind are
Valencia, the Virginia, the North
Carolina and the .Tennessee Red. The
North Carolina has been grown to
some extent in Georgia, arfd it has
done very well. You can probably
secure seed from some growers in
southwest Georgia. This would, no
doubt., be an advantage, as the strains
they are growing have probably be
come acclimated successfully- by now,
which Is quite a material advantage.
There are some reliable growers in
that section also who can, no <j° u ht,
supply your need at a reasonable
price. In so far as w r e know, you
would have to purchase the other
strains mentioned through-the agency
of seed houses, of which there are
a number of. large and reliable ones
doing business here in the south.
There is no reason why nitrate of
soda should not be used as a top
dressing on sugar cane. This is a
gross feeding crop, and as our soils
are rather low in this element, a
liberal application is desirable. We
would advise the use of 150 pounds
per acre. Nitrate of soda may be
put on after the crop is from fifteen
to eighteen inches high. It may be
used in one or two applications at
the rate of about seventy-five pounds
per acre. For a vigorous crop like
sugar cane, we would put the other
down the middles of the rows. There
will be no trouble about its burning
or injuring the crop provided it is
distributed when the leaves are dry.
There is an impression often that
to secure proper benefits from nitrate
of soda, one must put it very close
to the plant. This is ndt true. The
roots of plants, as one can readily
find by a little examination spread
over several feet of distance of the
soil. Hence, the crop will quickly
gather up and use the food put at
some distance from the base of the
plant. Seasonal conditions will in
fluence the amount of nitrate of soda
to use to some extent, but we do not.
think two applications of the amount
indicated made’ from two to three
weeks apart will be -found too much
to use. Our acquaintance with the
soil and conditions in your section
is such as to lead us to be lieve
you will find it profitable to apply
nitrate of soda to the sugar cane
crop to the extent indicated.
The poultry yard should be stir
red or spaded up frequently f not in
sod. This will not only tend to keep
down any odors which might arise,
■but also law the droppings to be
absorbed into the soil more readily
and therefore kep the yard in bet
ter condition fOr the hens.
AUNT JULIA’S
LETTER BOX
Dear Children:
I have been thinking of our Society for the Prevention of Cruel
ty to Duinb Things and wondering what would be a good motto for
us to adopt. How would you like this at the head of our column:
“Help for the Helpless—Kindness to All Dumb Things.”
That, you see, would take in our benevolent work and our work
for dumb things, too. You see, all we will have to do about the
dumb things will be to take a pledge to treat them kindly, where
we can, fixing places for their care and protection and never allow
ing anyone to mistreat them in our presence without bringing that
person if we can to a realization that they are doing wrong. Why
even when it is necessary to kill for food, it can be done humanely,
arid no killing should ever be done just for sport.
Os course, we are all too familiar with our benevolent work
to need anything said about that. Let me know what you think
of this heading to go just below “Aunt Julia’s Letter Box.”
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.

The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. FELTON
The Presidential Conventions
One o£ the great parties has met
and adjourned, and the other great
party will be starting to Frisco when
this article is printed in The Tri-
Weekly Journal. It is a struggle
among giants—and from all I can
gather it is like a game of chance —
more or less uncertain.
We have all been spectators to a
great undertaking with the Repub
licans. General Leonard Wood start
ed out among the first and it appear
ed for a while as if he had secured
a walk over. Then came along the
Senator Johnson boom with immense
enthusiasm and it seemed as if he
had no rival in the west. It was a
great demonstration, and also seemed
to have a heart of sincerity behind it.
Then Governor Lowden came to the
front and he captured soon the solid
south. There was a barrel of money
exposed—more than in Valiant Mark
Hanna’s time. But the convention sat
nearly two weeks with committees
and the convention proper, and final

the very quitest of the whole string
of racers, dashed under the wire as

Among the cute sayings of Judge
of pioneer Georgia days, was
the following: “Nothing in life is
certain, save degth and taxes.” In a
big national convention to select can
didates for president nothing is cer
tain except campaign money and po
litical trickery—more of the latter
than the former —no matter how
great the first may be.
Around the booze the battle will
be fought. The League of Nations
will be indorsed most likely and the
president is bound to have it indors
ed—if his control is not fatally shat
tered —therefore, there must be a bat
tlefield set apart for “wets and drys.”
That issue is virile and rampant
if the Republican ticket is defeated
it will be the result of dissatisfaction
with this liquor prohibition.
In both these conventions one thing
is plainly apparent, namely, that the
masses are not caring very much
about the parties now-a-days. The
war has made changes and the Re
publican convention did not appre
ciate the fact that the most of the
voters are either indifferent as to
voting or their heads are set to
choose for themselves. A big contin
gents pledging itself to a candidate in
the federal prison. Another big con
tingent is shaping toward a straight
out labor party. Before the day of
election in November the well-laid
plans of both the two great parties
may be shaken to pieces by unexpect
ed uprising. Nothing has been cer
tain or settled within the last two
years in any direction, inside the
state or-the nation.
“I beam tell,” said Gap Johnson, of
Rumpus Ridge, Ark., upon his return from
the county seat, “that they are figgering
on putting a pipe organ into the new
church in town.”
“Well, it may be all right for them that
likes it that-a-way,” severely returned Mrs.
Johnson, “but, as for me, I’m plum ag’in
smoking in church."
MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I am coming to you for advice. I
am a girl of fourteen, am in love
with a widower of thirty-five.
comes to see me every Sunday Rfto
has asked me to marry him 'when
school is out. Don’t you think we
would be happy? I love him better
than any one else and he says he
loves me. Sign my name Brown
Eyed Kate, so I will know my let
ter.
A widower and a girl of four
teen, that is too much. It looks
romantic now and you thrill at
the idea of being* Mi's. So and So,
but you may sing a different
tune a few years from now.
When he is a toothless old man,
and you are just a young wom
an, full with the joy of living,
and when you gaze over at the
fire place, or some other place,
and see what-you are tied to, you
will shed all kinds of tears of
remorse and regret. Don’t do it.
Take my advice and wait until
you are' older, then marry some
one nearer your own age. Y r ou
will be happier.
lam a girl of seventeen years. ]
am five feet three inches tall, weigh
one hundred and twenty pound. Is
my weight about right. There is
a boy of nineteen whq .seems to care
for me although I do not want his
company. What must I do to show
him I don’t? There is another boy
who acts indifferent at times. How
should I treat him? What must 1
do when a girl tells things about ms
which are not true? She seems to
be jealous. I am
BLUE EYES.
The only way to act toward
the young man who cares for
you and you do not desire his
company, jut do not encourage
him at all, and if he asks you
for an engagement, simply say
that all of your time is filled up,
and it will* be impossible for you
to have him call. Be kind, but at
the same time, firm, you can do
this without hurting his feel
ings. Treat the young man who
acts indifferently toward you
the same way he treats you.
That is the best remejly. If the
girl has a habit of saying spite
ful things about you which are
not true, ignore her, do not let
her see she is hurting you. Con
duct yourself so that other peo
ple will know that what she
says is false, and if you do
this everything will be all
right.
Here comes a lonely girl to you
for advice. I’m nineteen years old and
have finished schdol. I am going with
two boys. One I care for very much.
I’m quite sure I can never love an
other boy as I do him, but he doesn’t
care for me, but treats me nice. This
other boy loves me I'm sure, but I
don’t care for him. He has a big
car and shows me a good time, but
he has told me he would never come
to see me again if I ever let the
boy I love have another date. But
lie hasn’t even asked me to marry
him. Please tell me if I must drop
the one I love for him? Do you think
the one I love would ever learn to
care for me if I dropffed this other
boy? Please advise me at once.
Sincerely yours, ' L. W.
You might try to win the one
you love after awhile if you set
about it right. Find out what he
likes most in a girl, find out the
things he cares most for and
try to become congenial by let
ting him see you are really in
terested in his hobbies or sports.
Let him see you understand him.
Unconsciously he will turn to
you as the flowers to the sun.
I know of many cases like that.
Do not be the thihg he dislikes.
And as for the other boy, I would
not punish myself by giving up
the man I love just to please the
one who loves you. He hasn’t the
right to dictate to you about
your other callers. And just tell
him so. Men as a rule are selfish,
and they want a girl to them
selves, even if. they are not in
love with her. Time enough when
, you are engaged, and expect to
marry
I am coming to you for advice. I
am a girl of seventeen and weigh
110 pounds. I have been going with
a boy about three months, whom I
have known all my life. He was
going with my chum until they broke
up and he has been going with me
since. I didn’t like him at first and
he proposed and I declined him. In
a week he wanted to go with me
again and I let him come. He de
clared he loved me and could never
nor had never loved any one else. I
learned to love him and told him
I loved him. Then he happened to
meet this chum of mine again and
tried to go with her. I think she
encouraged him. He broke a date
with me for her and hasn’t noticed
me since. I wrote him a note and
told him how I felt about and him,
and I never expected to love him
again. And as I board with his
sister who lives in the sarrie yard
that he does, I see him every day.
I left the note in his room and he
answered it, saying he was sorry
he had done wrongff but he was off
with other boys and they caused
him to be with this girl. He asked
me to please take him back and he’d
never do -anything to cause me to
mistrust him. He saw me and talk
ed to me awhile and I told him he
equid come back, for he seemed so
much in earnest. I know lam young
and shouldn’t think of things like
this, but I know I love him and I
can’t bear to see him do like he
is doing. Please tell me whether I

Hazel: I do not think the
young man cares as much for
you as he pretends. You have
let him see that yonj cared for x..
him. In my opinion he is string
ing , you and your girl friend
both, If I were you I would not
let him see how very much I
cared. Try to get a grip on
yourself and find something to
employ your mind besides this
boy, and perhaps when he sees
that you are a little more in
different to him. he will think
more of you. It seems to me
that love thrives best on indif
ference, that is we are always
loving the one who • cares the
least for tis. Men seem to pre
fer pursuing than being pursued.
I am not coming to you for ad
vice about boys for I do not care
anything about them. I am eight
een years old, have red hair and light
complexion. What colors' would suit
me best? Can you give me the ad
dress of a good place in Atlanta
where I can send a coat suit and
have it dyed and relined? Would ap
preciate it very much.
“RED BIRD.”
Red haired girls cannot wear
loud colors, like their blond or
brunette sisters. Soft shades
like pale green, cream, violet,
tans, all shades of brown, dark
green, midnight blue, and black,
and white is always good. Do not
mix too many colors together to
wear at one time. One color is
more pleasing to the eye and bet
ter taste. Atlanta has several
very good etablishments for
dying clothes. The French Dry
Cleaners, 168 Pechtree Street;
Capital City Laundry, Troy Laun
dry, and others. It is a matter
of choice. I do not think any of
them reline any garments.

vice. Will you please tell me if

fill out "hollow cheeks” and neck,
and please tell me a good way to
Use them to obtain the best results

“ROSY LIPS.”
Cocoa butter and olive oil are
both good as a tissue- builder, if
you massage faithfully each
, night before you retire. Use a
rotary motion, after bathing the
face in warm water to open up
the pores and remove the dust.
The best way to round out hollow
cheeks and neck, drink plenty of
milk and eat fattening foods.
Rest will help you considerably
te fatten up if you can get. it.
The cocoa butter is about as good
as any thing I know of.
