AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION . BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE Finishing Hogs in the South One of the most important prob lems confronting the southern farm er is how to finish off his hogs economically and quickly. It is es sential that the animals when fin ished shall kill out hard. In other words, that the flesh shall be firm and white and the fat and lean well interblended. Experience has now demonstrated that hogs fed ex clusively on peanuts. while pre senting a beautiful exterior ap pearance. produce a large quantity of soft, or flabby pork when slaugh tered. This pork is not as desirable for food purposes as that from an imals which kill out hard. It is no doubt wholesome enough, but it ap pears to cook up more and does not present as attractive or firm an ap pearance at any stage of the curing process. The production of soft pork means going in factories and on rail roads —men everywhere who are doing real work —have found just what Bill Clark has about Blue Buckles- Blue Buckles always give them com fort and long wear. The heaviest, toughest denim cloth goes into every pair. Blue Buckle Over Alls and Coats are big and roomy. They are made so they can’t rip. And every de tail is given Careful attention— has the best there is in union workmanship. All sizes—Men’s, Youths’, Children’s. Ask your dealer today about Blue Buckles. that the farmer is losing from one to even as high, in extreme cases, as three cents per pound of weight. This is a heavy penalty, and cer tainly, if there is any way by which it can be obviated, that fact should be discovered and made a part of the common knowledge of our peo ple. To this end a very comprehend sive hog feeding test was inaugurat ed by the Georgia State College of Agriculture and Swift and Company of Moultrie, Ga. This test was in progress for eighty-three days. It started on March 19 and was con cluded on June 10. The initial weight of the hogs used. varied from 98 to 115.5 pounds. The final weight varied from 143.3 to 224.7 pounds. The average gain per head varied from 45.3 to 120.5 pounds. The average daily gain per head in pounds was lowest with the .group fed on corn meal and velvet bean meal in equal parts. The gain in this case was .55 of a pound per head per day. The feeds were fed through a self-feeder. The largest gain per head per day was made by the group fed on sweet pota toes, corn meal and tankage com bined on the basis of 7.73 parts of sweet potatoes, 3.27 parts of corn meal and .90 part of tankage. The corn meal and tankage were com bined together and fed through a self-feeder.. The sweet potatoes were fed twice daily by hand in such amounts that hogs would consume proportional amounts of corn meal, peanut meal and tankage. The aver age daily gain per head per day for this ration was 1.45 pounds. The next largest gain was made by the hogs fed on corn meal and peanut meal in the proportion of 4.39 to 1.90 aprts. .The average daily gain per head in pounds was 1.42. The next most effective ration -was the one in which sheliea corn and tankage were combined in the pro portion of 5.37 parts to .42 parts. The average daily gain was 1.41 pounds per head per day. When corn meal was combined on the basis of 5.76 parts and tankage on the basis of .61 parts, the average daily gain per head per day was 1.40 pounds. The lowest c«st of one hundred pounds of gain was made by the group receiving shelled corn and digester tankage. The cost varied from $10.61 to $11.94. The cheapest gains were made when velvet beans and corn or velvet beans, corn and tankage were used together. Nev ertheless, the increase in weight was not sufficient to give these feeds recognition or place over the other combinations mentioned. The combination of corn meal and pea nut meal proved quite effective in the matter of cost per one hundred pounds of gain. It cost $12.34 to make one hundred pounds of gain when corn meal and peanut meal were fed together. Apparently, the best results were obtained from us ing just enough peanut meal to balance up the protein deficiency of the corn satisfactorily. The cost per one hundred pounds of gain when sweet potatoes, corn meal and tank age were combined was $13.32. The hogs fed corn and velvet bean meal failed to dress out as well as the others. The percentage when this ration was used was 75.3. When corn and tankage were used, the dressing weight was 84.8 per cent. In the case of sweet potatoes, it was 81.9 per cent. When corn and peanut meal were combined, it va ried from 80.7 to 82.6 per cent. No doubt there will be much In terest in the prices charged for the various foods fed. An attempt was made to put the figures on the farm value of the crops used and not on the actual market value. The shelled corn was, therefore, rated at $1.25 per bushel. The corn meal at $1.30 per bushel, the pea nut meal at $70.00 per ton, the tankage at SIOB.OO per ton, sweet potatoes at fifty cents per bushel, velvet beans at $30.00' per ton plus $9.00 for shelling and drying. As a matter of fact, prices will vary up or down materially from these fig ures at one season or another dur ing one year as compared with an other. That does not affect in any way, however, the relative value of the foods used. The question after all is which type of ration will make hard pork, make the largest gain and produce the hog which will dress-out best. The cost of these rations may vary some from year to year, but not more in pro- portion than will the sale prices of hogs. If the prices indicated were all increased materially, as they might have been with propriety, it would have made comparatively lit tle if any change in the relative efficiency of the rations fed. The most interesting point in connection with these tests lies in the fact that home-produced rations will accomplish the. ends sought with economy and profit to the landowner. Corn, it will be seen, is the basis of the rations used for finishing hogs satisfactorily either in the field, on grazing crops, or in feeding pens. We do not grow enough corn. This is a matter of common knowledge in spite of the fact that we have doubled the yield in the last decade. The future ex pansion and development of the live stock industry in Georgia depends on again doubling the corn crop. When this is done, the soft pork problem will have been solved and our stat© made infinitely more pros perous and successful'than at pres ent. To some it may seem a very difficult matter to increase the yield of corn. This is not true, however. Better soil preparation, more care-, ful selection and adaptation of va rieties to soil locations and the skillful and liberal use of fertili zers will enable us to obtain the desired end. We have literally millions of acres of low-lying lands admirably adapted to corn cultivation which are not being utilized simply be cause they need drainage. It will not take long to accomplish this end, nor will it call for an unlimit ed amount of money. We have solv ed many more difficult and perplex ing problems than this. If we can just arouse the consciousness of the farmers of our state to the nec essity of raising more corn, we will then have solved the biggest question now confronting the agri cultural prosperity of Georgia. Os course we can grow sweet po tatoes in unlimited quantity. The estimates for this year indicate a twenty-three million bushel crop in round numbers. This represents an increase of nearly fifty per cent over last year. This has been brought about ’by the fact that we now know how to build storage houses and keep sweet potatoes successfully. The solution of one simple prob lem appears to indicate the doub ling of the crop. Sweet potatoes have been shown by these tests to b© an essential and desirable con stituent of the ration for the fin ishing off of high grade hogs. There is no crop cheaper to plant and cultivate or which will yield a larger return on our Georgia farms than sweet potatoes. It is a crop, therefore, our hog raisers can make available in virtually unlimit ed amounts. Let us utilize sweet potatoes on a broad and extensive basis in the finishing of pork. Peanut meal should also, of course, be used. It balances up the deficiencies in corn meal. It helps to make sweet potatoes more serv iceable and valuable in pork pro duction. Peanut meal is the resi due obtained after the oil has been expressed from the nuts. Nature never intended that hogs should be permitted to ’eat up with every ton of raw peanuts eighty gallons of oil. Nature is not wasteful, but is extremely conservative. She covers up and reclaims th© galled spot. She regrows the forest. She is all the time building new soil areas and accumulating together in dif ferent spots and locations the ma terials which man finds so neces sary and essential to his welfare. Nature abhors waste, and to feed peanuts before the oil has been expressed from them to hogs is an aggravating form of waste. There is a marked demand for peanuts. There is a need for all the oil which can be obtained because the world is still short of fats, and the war has shown how essential and necessary they are in the hu man dietary. Peanuts should be har vested, the oil expressed from them and the meal properly combined with corn and sweet potatoes and fed back to hogs. This is a perfect ly practicable and rational plan, and, if put into effect, will not only increase th© farmers’ profits from the cultivation of peanuts, but will enable us to solve the soft pork problem satisfactorily.

FELTON Watering Stock In the olden time “watering stock” would mean driving cattle, horses, sheep, all livestock to the pond or to the creek to get water to drink. It was a thing that bore weight upon the minds of hometenders or emigrants to a new country. It was well to buy land in terri tory and new states, or take up land that was given as bounty to soldiers in the early days, but there was also outlook for water, one was as much’in demand as the other. But watered stock has a new meaning and stands for something entirely different from either swamp land or drinking water for domes tic animals. , Not unite a few days since did I discover the name of watered stock in the financial parlance of our tme. Thus the story goes: Daniel Drew who developed into one of New York’s >shrewdest money makers, was a man without means, when he de cided to buy up cattle for the city market. He kept the cows and steers awhile, on pastures, but not overlap long. He then drove them near the city’s limits, salted them very plentifully, led them to a wat ering trough over night, drove them to the city early, while they were swollen with excess water and sold them to the butchers. Next day these butchers were impressed that they had bought watered stock. Thus Daniel Drew, who accumu lated many millions of ddllaYS; gAVe the name of “watered stock” to in flating railroad certificates and other financial transactions where proper ty was or is bought cheap and then rated and resold at big prices on the market. It is one of the names that have stuck. The pioneers who sought places to water their cattle and horses soon began to catch water in cisterns. Later on they carried water in pipes to barns and farmhouses. It is only the occa sional farmer who has natural run ning water or springs on his prem ises today. Irrigation, especially in the west, is providing water to thirsty stock as well as* to thirsty cattle on big ranches and dry, sun parched plains. But the watered stock connected with Wall street transactions are still in evidence at the same old stand, and speculation is rampant, all over the United States. Mining stocks and oil wells are the present factors in watered stock negotiations. The “Get-Rich-Quick Walling fords” are seen continually. They are a sleek-tongued race of flnacing, and deal mostly in watered stock. But the Chronicler tells us that shrewd Daniel Drew, with his salt fed thirsty cattle, to fool the New York butchers, furnished the name and tire purpose of what is well known and daily experienced in Wall street money circles as stocks highly watered. Modest Dressing for Girls A dear good woman living in Ala bama writes me to thank me for re minding the young girls of this era about immodest dressing and what evil suggestions follow close upon th© sight of nude arms and backs —and bosoms —of latter day styles. I appreciate her interest and thank her for her long and appreciated let ter. It is high time for a change— and I think this article of mine should be addressed to the mothers of these young women. It is a very serious proposition as to how such young girls should dress in public company—when the ultra fashiona bles are so given to what might be called undress in public. I understand perfectly well that it is the general habit of young peo ple, of this era, to override the opin ions and counsels of their elders We see it going on every day in our respective communities. Never theless it is worth while to say that all these young ones owe obedience as well as dutiful respect to their parents. The children are not entire ly to blame. The mothers, by reason of something like Indifference or may be laziness—give up their own ideas and allow the youthful ones, to pur sue their own ways. Discipline is absolutely wecessary to keep good government in any family. Somebody must be at the head whose will is recognized and understood. When th© young women marry and set up housekeeping or homemaking for themselves—then they are at liberty to order their own households and their own chil ctren after their own ideas of pros perity. But so long as they belong or dwell under the roof of the parents, a Jid are a part of the household should listen to advice and obey the wishes of the parents. I have in mind a family that nearly went to smash because the children decided to do as they pleased. They went where they wished to go, kept com pany that their elders knew nothing about, took long automobile jaunts without asking permission, bought the sort of clothes that pleased them selves, in fact, went the pace until it was a broken up household wrecked in reputation and money. I feel assured a great deal of this wreck and ruin might have been evaded or avoided if those young folks had been made to stay at home and compelleld to wear what the mother provied for their attire and prevented from associating with a rapid set of their own choosing. It is conceded that there are occa sionsal degenerates who defy all re straint and will go where appetite or passion decoys them; but they are exceptions to the general rule. “Train tip a child in the way he shall go and when he is old he will not depart from it,” is gospel advice. “Honor thy father and thy moth er.” is the first commandment with a nromise—in th© Bible —-and one of principal difficulties of the time AUNT JULIA'S LETTER BOX “Help for the Helpless—Kindness to All Dumb Things” RULES No unsigned letters printed. No letter written on both sides of paper printed. All letters not to exceed 150 to 200 words. Dear Children: I know you think waited an awfully long time to notice your jonquil letters, but the truth is, when they came I was too ill to notice them, and in the delay over my letters from you these had to take their turn. Now at the. head of our column you will find two exceptionally good letters; read them well; they are not only entertaining, but in structive. We certainly thank you, Marie Duke and Deane Ritch, for your splendid letters. Lovingly, AU|NT JULIA. Jonquils Jonquils were first grown in France, in 1789. The bulbs were carried from Africa by a French navigator. The word jonquil was derived from the Latin word Juncus, meaning rushes. This name was suggested by the rush-like shape of the leaves. It is a species of yellow narcissus, both are members of the lily family. They should be planted about four inches deep, in rich, drained soil, and the soil should be kept loose to make the flowers larger and the leaves a richer hue. About the last of January you can visit the beds. The ground will be cracked in many places. In a few days visit the beds again. In the places where the earth was cracked you will see tubular green leaves; in about three weeks the tiny sprouts are in a large cluster and about a foot high. What can that be in the middle on those long stems? Why, something covered in a brown paper-like skiff. These are buds. In this way they are protected from the snow, chickens or anything that harms the plants. When these buds burst you will see ihat they have tiny crinkled cup; inside these cups are the antlers, pistols and one or two other organs that make it a perfect flower. This cup is surrounded by six tiny petals. These pretty things are not worthless, for they are very valuable for making perfume. MARIE DUKE. Danville, Ga. Dear Folks: Every time I read our good old letter box I just can’t hardly refrain from writing. Aunt-Julia says she wants us to watch the jonquils bloom and write her a story about them. Now, some people de scribe jonquils differently. But the flow-, ers that we call jonquils here in North' Carolina are yellow with a small cup in the center. Some have a cream tint with bright yellow cups. You plant the small bulb in the fall and they make their first appearance in February, about the first week. They grow to be a little over one foot In height. They are a member of the narcissus family and grow in bunches with long, narrow, dull green leaves. They bloom in -about a month after their ap pearance. They are beautiful flowers and I think everybody should try to cultivate them. I will exchange pictures with the first cousin that writes.

He always treated me kind and nice and I never cared about marrying and was young and treated him cold most all those years, and while he’s away I corresponded with a soldier boy for quite a while, and for that reason the boy I loved so dearly has quit me. He hadn’t been to mee me in a year until in June. Then came 800 miles just on pur pose to see me. But h© says we can never, never marry; he loves me as he’ll never love another, but he and I will never marry, and left me with a broken heart, by giving me all the good wishes any one could and hoped I'd marry some one and be happy. And he’s a boy with good character and everybody thinks a lot of him. Do you think he’ll ever come back to me? I’ve never heard a thing from him since he left. I’m not very well educated and atn think ing very strongly of going to college. Would you advise me to go? Also, I’ve been corresponding with a neigh bor boy, who declares he loves me and wants me to be his wife now. But I don’t love him, although he has my sympathy. Would you ad vise me to marry him? I think not. I have now explained my life to you and will you please advise me, as I’m in bad trouble and can’t find any remedy. Please tell me of my school plan, as I’ve never had any chance to go to school only a short term. I forgot to tell the age of that boy who was my intended husband; his age is twenty years. Now please tell me what you think about him, for it was he who caused my future life to be a blank. Thanking you for your advice. LONELY BROKEN-HEART. Lonely Broken-Heart: Jeal ousy caused your sweetheart to feel that way, then, too, he felt he couldn’t trust you. But I am sure everything will come out all right for you in the future. Be independent and do not let him see how deeply you care for him. Men expect too much. They have always had the idea they can do as they please, and condemn the woman they love for the very things they seek in another. Women have caused them to feel so important by their attitude toward men. The thing for you to do, if your sweetheart told you he loved you but could never marry you, just treat him the same way, and tell him straight that it is all right with you; then let him go. Y<fu will get over your love affair in time. They nearly all do, and someone else may come along later that you will care a great deal about, theh, you will wonder how you could have made your self believe you ever cared for the present flame. Do not de spair. I am quite sure it will all be righted later on. Go to college if you possibly can.
