The Prevention of Smut
The heavy losses which our farm
ers now suffer from preventable dis
eases is appalling. Anything which
can be done to lessen disease dam
age to growing crops, therefore, be
comes a matter of general concern.
Investigations indicate that our oat
crop has been reduced as much as
10 per cent as a result of being at
tacked by smut. The wheat crop
has suffered even more, there be
ing cases on record when 25 per
cent of the crop has been destroyed
by smut alone.
It is a comparatively simple mat
ter to combat and control these dis
eases, and to this end the attention
of our readers is directed to a sum
marized statement of the methods
which are best adapted for general
use on the farm, the equipment
needed to carry these out success
fully, and the plan of action to fol
low in carrying the treatment to :
successful issue. These methods
have been examined into and tested
by the department of plant physio
logy of the State College of Agricul
ture and may be regarded as repre
senting the best data and informa
tion available on this particular sub
ject.
‘‘Dry’’ Formaldehyde Method: The
"dry,” or spray, method of applying
formaldehyde gives as complete con
trol as does other methods, is much
simpler and cleaner in application
than the ‘‘wet,’’ or sprinkling meth
od of applying formaldehyde, and
may be given at a fraction of the
cost required for the blue stone
method. The experience of Georgia
farmers is»that the “dry” method is
the most satisfactory in the pre
vention of oat smut, and this state
ment is borne out by the experience
of farmers in the grain belt. This
method has not proved so satisfac
tory in the treatment of wheat, al
though there is no reason why it
should not do so. It is very prob
able that the time requirement was
not given proper attention, since
Wheat requires but four hours (as
against five hours for oats). It is
the concensus of opinion in other
parts of the country, however, that
the “wet” formaldehyde method
has proven more satisfactory in the
prevention of stinking smut of wheat
and the covered smut of barley.
Equipment
A tight, clean floor or wagon box,
or a piece of canvas about ten feet
square, upon which the grain is
piled.
A large blanket or canvas with
which to cover the grain.
One or two shovels with which to
stir the grain.
A quart hand-sprayer costing 50 to
75 cents at the hardware store.
Sufficient 40 per cent formal
dehyde to treat the required grain,
costing from 50 to 75 cents a pint
bottle.
16 ounces (1 pint) sufficient for
50 to 60 bushels.
o-> B . ou ™ e S ( ?* 2 P‘ nt > sufficient for
20 to 30 bushels. »
l A 4 . ou J l ? e l’ fl ’ 4 plnt > sufficient for
10 to lo bushels.
The seed should be thoroughly
, t ar l? d from all foreign material
(chaff, stems, smut-balls, weed seed
etc.) in the fanning mill and then
piled on the canvas (clean floor or
wagon box). The formaldehyde so
lution is poured from the bottle into
the hand sprayer. The grain is shov
eled over while a man operates the
sprayer, holding it close to the mov
ing grain (thus avoiding the dis
agreeable fumes of the formalde
hyde). Spray the grain as it is shov
eled over until the proper amount of
formaldehyde has been applied, ap
plying one stroke of the sprayer to
each shovel full of grain. Then pile
the grain and cover completely with
a canvas or large blanket for five
hours (four for wheat), thus permit
ting the formaldehyde fumes to act 1
on the smut spores atached to the
grain. At the end of the required
time the pile is uncovered and the
grain spread to air for several hours.
It is then ready for the seeder or
may be sacked and stored until seed
ing time. Old sacks should be thor
oughly disinfected. The. seeder should
also be disinfected. Use 25 per cent
additional seed to offset loss due to
weak seed germs.
Smut-balls must be removed before
treatment. They may be floated out
in case the fanning mill does not do
good work.
Keep the grain moving while the
formaldehyde Ts being applied, thus
insuring an even application.
After spraying, cover the pile with
a tight canvas or blanket; the fumes
must be kept in the pile of grain
for the required time.
Formaldehyde is poisonous—keep
it away from stock and children.
Treated grain, after it is thoroughly
aired, is not poisonous, however, and
may be fed or used for human con
sumption.
“Wet” Formaldehyde Method: The
“wet” or sprinkling method of ap
plying formaldehyde has been in use
for many years and has given uni
form satisfaction. When but a small
amount of grain is to be treated, and
the seed grain contains considerable
litter, it may be slowly stirred into
th© formaldehyde mixture and the
foreign material (diseased grains,
weak germs, etc.) floated off during
the process of treatment. With
larger quantities of seed grain it is
advisable to thoroughly clean the
seed before treatment. The clean
seed is then placed in wire screen
boxes or loosely woven sacks and
submerged in the formaldehyde mix
ture for the required time. In either
case, however, the grain becomes so
swollen in the process of treatment
that it will not run through the seed
er. Drying the seed necessitates con
siderable trouble and loss of time. In
addition, precautions must be taken
that the wet seed grain is not sub
jected to freezing, since the swollen
germs are very susceptible to ex
remes of temperature. If the weath
er is wet and warm at the time of
treatment the seed may sprout be
fore it can be dried. The method is
also objectionable because of the
presence of considerable quantities of
water about the seed room.
Equipment
Garden spraying can (one to three
gallon capacity, depending upon quan
tity of seed grain).
Shovel for moving the grain.
Clean floor upon which to spread
the grain to be treated.
Large canvas or blanket with
which to cover grain.
Sufficient 40 per cent formaldehyde
to treat the quantity of seed.
A pint bottle of 40 per cent
formaldehyde is sufficient to treat
about 40 bushels of seed grain.
This may be mixed into a barrel ot
water in the proper proportion (1
pint of formaldehyde to 40 gallons
of water), allowing one gallon of
the mixture to each bushel of seed
grn in to be treated.
The seed grain (cleaned and pre
pared as recommended under the
“dry” method) is spread in a thin
layer (two or three inches in depth)
on a tight, clean floor. The form
aldehyde mixture is dipped from the
barrel in the can and sprayed even
ly over the grain. After the re
quired amount has been applied, the
grain is shoveled into a pile and
covered wth a tight canvas or
blanket for two to three hours. Oats
may remain covered overnight but
such treatment for wheat may de
stroy its germination ability. It is
well, therefore, to follow directions
carefully.
After remaining covered for the
required time the canvas is remov
ed and the grain spread to dry.
moving it occasionally to bring the
wet grain in contact with the air.
When sufficiently dry to run in the
drill the grain may be seeded.
Sacks and drll should be disinfect
ed before bringing the clean grain
in contact with them.
Blue stone method (copper sul
phate). The blue stone method has
been in use nearly two hundred
years in the treatment of seed
wheat to prevent stnkng smut. The
method has one very important ad
vantage in regions subject soil
infection of stinking smut, 4*h that
the coating of copper sulphate
which the seed grain takes in treat
ment proves of some value in dis
infecting the soil. On the other
hand the method is more costly
than the formaldehyde methods and
there is a greater likelihood of in
juring the seed germs.
Equipment
Wooden vat or tub in which to
place the mixture.
Shovel to handle the grain.
Loosely woven sacks in which to
place the grain.
Tub or barrel in which to place
the milk of lime.
Clean surface upon which to dry
the treated grain.
The mixture is made by dissolv
ing blue stone and common salt in
water at the rate of one pound of
blue stone and 1 pound of common
salt to 5 gallons of water. Ap
proximately 1 gallon of the mix
ture is required for each bushel of
seed treated. although a larger
proportion is required for a small
amount of seed. The milk of lime
is made up of slaking one pound of
quick lime and adding water to
make ten gallons.
Small quantities of seed wheat
are stirred into the mixture. as
recommended for the soaking
method with formaldehyde. The
seed remains In the mixture only
long enough to become thoroughly
wet—about the time to skim the
floating trash and diseased grains
from the surface. The blue stone
mixture is then drained off and the
milk of lime poured over the treat
ed seed and strred. The milk of
lime is then drained off and the
seed grain spread so dry.
For larger operations the seed
grain is ted in loosely woven backs
(from one peck to half a bushel
each), and submerged in the blue
stone mixture for a few minutes.
The sacks are then drained and
submerged in the milk of lime mix
ture. The sacks are then opened
and the treated seed spread in a
thin layer on a clean floor or can
vas to dry. Frequent stirring will
hasten the drying
To offset the loss of weak germs
through treatment the amount of
seed grain should be increased 25
per cent.
Hot water method. The hot wa
ter method is adapted particularly
to the prevention of loose smut of
wheat and barley and the nematode
disease of wheat diseases which
may not be controlled by ordinary
methods of disinfectant treatment.
It is very important that the rules
be followed closely in the applica
tion of the method since a slight
deviation from the temperature
may render the grain worthless for
see line- purposes. For this reason,
It Is not advisable to treat all the
grain required on a large farm but
merely sufficient for seeding the
“seed field,” which should he rather
isolated from other fields of wheat.
It is thus possible to grow disease
free seed for general seeding pur
poses the following season.
A Mixed Grain Ration for Hogs
A. E. E., Roswell, Ga., writes:
Please tell me in what propor
tion to mix alfalfa meal, corn
meal and kaffir corn to make a
feed for hogs. What do you
think of this combination as a
hog feed?
\)ne could use only a limited
amount of alfalfa meal with satis
faction with hogs. We should think
that if you make up a mixture of 40
pounds of kaffir corn meal and 10
pounds of alfalfa meal you would
have the proportion about right for
the class of animals you wish to
feed. We would prefer, of course,
that this mixture be fed in the form
of a relatively thin slop. It is de
sirable that it be reduced to this
condition through the use of skim
milk. If this is not practicable, of
course, you will have to use water
or rich slops from the kitchen pro
vided they are free from soap pow
ders, broken glass, or other mate
rials likely to prove Injurious to the
digestive system of the hogs.
The combination you .suggest
should make a very good ration. It
may not be the most economical to
use, as I am not in position to de
termine just what the cost of the
various component parts of this ra
tion will be to you individually. Here
at the college, even under existing
conditions, we will probably find it
cheaper to use some velvet bean
meal and peannut meal along with
corn meal as a ration for hogs. We
also use some shorts in conjunction
with corn meal for hogs and find it a
desirable mixture. Digester tankage
has also proved to be a valuable con
stituent in the ration we use here.
We generally mix about 10 pounds
of digester tankage with 90 pounds
of corn meal and then feed in the
manner suggested.
Grinding vs. Feeding Whole
Grain
C. A. H., Covington, Ga.,
writes: What advantage is gain
ed by grinding corn, oats, bar
ley, etc., over the old method of
feeding the grain whole? In
other words, I wish to know if it
pays to feed the various grains
ground to mules, horses, 'cows,
hogs, etc., in preference to the
whole grain.
A slong as cereals were relatively
cheap in this country it was diffi
cult to establish any material ben
efits from grinding them, especially
for horses or work stock generally.
In the case of hogs and cattle more
benefits would probably accrue from
grinding these grains at the pres
ent than with horses and mules. On
the other hand, the old type grind
ers were not nearly so effective as
those made now, nor could they be
operated so cheaply or satisfactorily.
It is possible at this time to buy a
grinding outfit at a relatively
cost, which will do very effective
work and which will last a long time
provided the machinery is handled
with any reasonable degree of care.
Undoubtedly with grains at present
purices the purchase of such an out
fit becomes well worth while. There
is no doubt but that the grinding of
these grains, especially for the
classes of stock mentioned, will jus
tify all the costs involved and leave
a reasonably good profit. I do not
believe any one could undertake to
express this definitely in percen
tages. On the other hand, I think
that the efficiency of the grain in
arimal nutrition would be increased
cy. from 10 to 20 per cent. I base
this statement on my own individ
ual experience and observation. Many
feeding experiments have been made
to test out this question but the
results, as you can readily under
stand, may often be conflicting and.
contradictory. The reasons for this
are due to the various classes of
stock with which the experiments
were conducted and the conditions
under which tests were made.
For your information I will say
that we consider the grinding of
grain of sufficient importance and
profit here on the college farm to
cause us to feed practically all of
it after it has been run through a
grinder to all animals maintained
on our farm except our work stock.
As we have been able to make this
farm pay a profit and as it is con
ducted strictly on a business basis,
I think you will find our experience
helpful in enabling you to reach a
decision relative to this matter and
a safe guide to follow.
Facts About the Value of Ex
tension Work
C. K., Monroe, Ga., writes: I
wish to know if you can give me
some material for a theme on the
subject of “The Extension Work
of the State College of Agricul
ture and the District Agricul
tural Schools.” Please tell me
what the extension work is and
the part that the district schools
play in this kind of work.
It is gratifying to learn of you)
interest in the extension work of th*
State College of Agriculture and the
relation which it bears to the wel
fare of the district agricultura
schools.
Os course, we all understand that
only a relatively small percentage o‘‘
our people can go to schools of the
type which you are now attending
or to colleges of even a higher grade
The great majority of our people
must begin their life work with th.-
training which the high school of
either of the technical or general
type affords them. Besides that, there

SHOWS HOW GOOD COWS
“JUMP OVER THE MOON”
The fable of the cow jumping over 1
the moon has been translated into I
a realistic lesson by the dairy divi
sion of the United States department
of agriculture for portrayal at the
national dairy show in Chicago, Oc
tober 7 to 16. A mechanical appar
atus, designed by dairy experts of
the federal government, will empha
size the value of the cow whose cost
of-productlon records are unmistak
able.
The device is motor-driven, and a
glass face represents the moon, which
is labeled the cost of prodimtion.
A circular-shaped contrivance, near
ing. the emblem of a cow, spins
around when tiie button is pressed.
The inscription thereon reads, “This
Ifc-
Cow Jumped Over the Moon;” that is,
he records warrants her retention in
the dairy herd. Another revolving
wheels, likewise containing the like
ness of a cow, bears the legend,
“This Cow Didn’t,” The butterfat
test failed to Indicate the economy
of retaining the animal, as she failed
to measure up to the cost of pro
duction standard.
Fitting text, placed in the back
ground of the mechanical arrange
ment, serves to drive home the les
son that the dairy division would
teach. The illuminating captain
reads: “The cow that jumped over the
moon belongs to the Fairyland of
our childhood, but the cow that pro
duced 33„425 3 pounds of milk a year
is a present-day reality. While her
sister, the scrub, is sailing low, the
well-bred, well-fed dairy cow goes
over the top. She begins to yield
Committee Urges Farmers to
Place Fertilizer Orders Early
The following statement concern
ing the importance of placing early
orders for fertilizer in view of the
railroad congestion has been receiv
ed by The Tri-Weekly Journal from
the Southern Soil Improvement com
mittee, of Atlanta:
"There still exists an extreme
shortage of box cars and much con
gestion of freight on all of the rail
roads handling the bulk of the fer
tilizers used in the south. It is im
perative, therefore, that the ferti
lier season be prolonged over a
greater length of time this year than
last year when the shipping season
was concentrated within a very
short period. Because of this con
centration, other industries com
plained* that the fertilizer users were
obtaining more than their share of
the available cars and entered se
vere protests against the movement.
For the sake of efficient service on
the part of the railways and also
for the sake of those who wish to
obtain their full amounts of fer
tilizer, the Southern Soil Improve
ment Committee of Atlanta calls at
tention to the fact that it is again
necessary for farmers to “order
early.”
Fall Is Best Time to
Start With Poultry
Beginnings in poultry raising may
be made at any time of the year,
but the fall is perhaps the best time
for small poultry keepers to make
their start. Obtain pullets when
ever possible rather than older hens,
says experts of the United States
department of agriculture. The pul
lets selected should be well matured
so they will lay before cold weather
sets in. ‘
Here are the signs of maturity in
pullets: Red color of the comb, and
size and growth which are creditable
for the breed or variety raised. Ma
ture hens lay few eggs, if any, dur
ing the fall and early winter, while
thev are molting. Well-matured pul
lets, on the other hand, should lay
fairly well and give an immediate
return on the investment.
When pullets are to be purchased it
Is desirable to go to some farmer or
poultryman of known dependability.
Even if delivery of the birds is not
desired for several weeks or months,
it mav pay to make arrangements
for obtaining the desired number of
pullets later at an agreed price.
whb have no adequate means ot
keeping abreast with the discoveries
which agricultural science has made
possible B So in an endeavor to take
the work of agricultural colleges, ex
periment stations and scientific work
ers to the people the plan of or
ganizing an extension division in
connection with land grant colleges
was authorized by the congress of
the United States under the terms
and provisions Incorporated in the
Smith-Lever act. When this law be
came effective in Georgia the col
lege undertook to correlate its work
with that of the district agricultural
and mechanical schools of GeorgL
The plan was to locate an agen.
each school who would have super
vision of the agents in the territory
contiguous to the school and who
would be in position to advise and
Inform the students of the school
about extension work, and to corre_
late the work of the school \ with
that of the community it serves to
a very considerable extent.
As required in the memorandum
of agreement signed with the secre
tary of agriculture relative to the
institution of xvork under the Smith-
Lever act, the district schools were
asked to bear a part of the expenses
of the district agent, as under the
terms of our present agreement h f
becomes a joint representative of
the Georgia State College of Agri
culture and the schools. The plan
has worked very well in so far as
the great majority of the agricul
tural and mechanical schools of
Georgia are concerned, and I think
it must be regarded as highly bene
ficial and helpful to all the interests
concerned.
Molasses as a Feed for liive
Stock
R. E. E., Richmond, Ind.,
writes: I would appreciate any
information relative to the feed
ing value of molasses, and
whether or not it is extensively
used throughout the south.
Molasses is fed to some extent in
the southeastern states. The meth
ods used vary on individual farms
Sometimes the raw product is pur
chased in barrels, diluted with water
and sprayed over the cut feed which
is fed to various classes of live
stock, but more particularly to beef
and dairy cattle and work stock. The
water is used to reduce the molasses
to a condition in which it can be
handled and distributed more easily
than is otherwise possible. A good
method of distribution is by means
•>f a watering can. Some people pre
fer to cut up a considerable quantity
of forage and then spray the diluted
molasses over it and allow the mix
ture to stand a few hours to soften
before it is fed. This is a very good
way of utilizing it. It can, of course,
be used in association with silage,
if the practice seems desirable.
It is chiefly a carbohydrate ma
terial, and should be used with this
knowledge In view. It is valuable to
add palatability to a ration and will
induce animals to eat considerable
quantities of food which otherwise
would be wasted. If fed in reason
able quantities, it exerts a whole

feeding, of course, is to l" avoided

a profit at the age of two or three,

most beyond belief, and she continues
to yield a profit until very late in
life.”
The cow symbolized in the realistic
i of the moon-vaulting tale
is Tilly Alcartra, owned by A. W,
Morris & Sons’ corporation, of Wood
land, Cal. This Holstein-Friesian
animal holds the .world’s record as a
milk producer—a yield of 33,425.3
pounds. Twice she has wrested the
enviable distinction from her com
petitors, her former championship
achievement being slightly in ex
cess of 30,000 pounds of milk. Four
other cows outdistanced this phe
nomenal production, only to again
yield the palm to Tilly Alcartra in
her latest contribution to the milk
pail.
“Not only should they place their
orders early, but it is also felt that
farmers must make some provision
for storing the material out at their
farms so as to have their fertilizer
on hand at planting time. Farmers
will remember that many had to do
without their full supply of plant
food materials last year on account
of the railway congestion, lack of
labor at the manufacturing plants
and because of serious strikes in
the phosphate fields of Florida.
When these troubles were overcome
the season was far advanced to the
growers.
“All this trouble will be eliminat
ed and farmers will be served more
satisfactorily this year if orders are
placed as early as possible and some
provision made for scoring the fer
tilizer'to the farm. The soil improve
ment committee has just received a
communication from the general
manager of the Atlantic Coast Line
Railway calling attention to the
importance of this early ordering
movement and the lengthening otf
the shipping season, if farmers are
to be properly served this year.”
Cotton Waste Used
For Artificial Wool
Announcement has been made that
a proe’ess has been discovered by
which artificial wool can be pro
duced from cotton waste. The basis
of the artificial wool Is cellulose
acetate, and the material is claimed
to be an even better insulator against
heat and cold than ordinary wool
that it will wear well and that it can
be successfully dyed any desired
color.
The new material has, it is under
stood, been subjected to severe tests
by the textile department of the
Leeds (England) university, where
it has been successfully converted
into fabrics. Cloth was woven with
a mixture consisting half of arti
ficial ■wool and half of natural wool,
the product resembling tweed. The
cloth, according to Prof. A. F. Barker,
head of the department concerned,
would prove serviceable for men’s
wear or for wear by women who fan
cy cloth resembling homespun.
Prof. Barker declares that arti
ficial wool will have results corre
sponding to those of artificial silk
but pure wool will not be ousted
from the market any more than pure
silk has been. It cannot be assumed
that people will prefer fabrics of ar
tificial wool to those of natural
wool. The artificial wool, however,
should be much cheaper than nat
ural wool and it may be found to
have wearing qualities.
Here’s How to Glue
Turpentine Barrels
Turpentine will really penetrate
through the staves of an ordinary
wooden barrel. It is, therefore, nec
sary to coat the inner surface of the
barrel with ordinary glue, which is
insoluble in turpentine, but readily
soluble in water, say naval stores
experts of the bureau of chemistry.
United States department of agricul
ture. Turpentine soon leaks out from
a barrel that has been carelessly or
improperly glued, as well as from
one containing any water, regardless
of how well the glue was prepared or
applied. Consequently great care
must be taken in preparing the glue
and applying It to the barrel, and
finally also in so filling the barrel
with turpentine that no water gets
into it. Detailed directions for glue
ing turpentine barrels were issued
recently by the department.
Community Packing
Aids in Marketing
Community packing is an im
portant feature of many cn-onprsSvo
marketing associations handling such
products as fruits and vegetables.
When in charge of competent and
interested men it promotes uni
formity, a most valuable feature. At
tractive labeling of the packages is
an added feature in many instances.
Some of the larger co-operative
marketing associations advertise the
products of the members at a sur
prisingly small cost. Advertising
of anything except carefully graded
products of uniform quality, of
course, would not show much in
the way of Results.
Can’t Have Both
As the type of animal necessary
for the production of large yields of
milk is entirely different from that
of the beef animals, it has been im
possible to produce a breed which
would combine these functions and
be of superior merit for both pur
poses.
High Coal Prices
On account of the high price of coal
there will probably be a large amount
of wood used as fuel next winter.
Use all the waste timber, dead and
dying trees for this purpose, and
be sure to conserve the ashes for
garden fertilizer. They are rich in
plant foot, particularly potash.

Terrell Cotton Yield
To Exceed 1919 Crop;
Farmers Hold Staple
DAWSON, Ga., Sept. 23.—Terrell’s |
cotton crop is being gathered rapidly !
this year and approximately 5,500
bales have been received to date by
the Dawson warehouses, 2,290 of
these being received the past week.
The fields are white with open cot
ton and it is oeing gathered just
as fast as hands can be procured.
A conservative estimate is that Ter
rell county will produce about 5,000
bales of cotton more than last year,
or will produce about 2,200 bales
this season against 1,700 last year.
The acreage this year in cotton is
somewhat larger than it was last
year.
It has been said that this crop
will cost the farmers more than any
crop in many, many years, as labor
is so very high, cotton pickers’ wages
being about tripled, and the cost of
poison used on the boll weevil is so
high. Precautions have been taken,
but the weevil have wrought heavy
damage to Terrell county’s crop and.
practically throughout the county,
the so-called "top crop” will be a
complete failure.
The Dawson Cotton Oil company is
operating its ginnery both day and
night. This plan is meeting with the
approval of the farmers and they
are bringing quite a bit of cotton in
at night to be ginned. They are
using labor and teams in the day
to gather the crop, and then have it
ginned at night when they are unable
to pick the cotton on account of dark
ness. A few more weeks of good :
weather will find the cotton season >
In this section near an end. The ]
farmers are holding most of their I
cotton and cotton seed for higher
prices.
Big Live Stock Exhibit
Will Be Feature of
Colquitt County Fair
MOULTRIE, Ga., Sept. 23.—Th'-
cattle and hog show which will be
a big feature of the Colquitt county
fair, which opens here on October
26 and runs through the entire week,
will bring together the largest num- ;
ber of purebred hogs and cattle ever
seen under one roof at any county
fair in the south, according «to a
statement made here by T. B. Mc-
Kenzie, manager of the Fair associa
tion. Most of the cows and hogs
which are to be shown will be
brought in from Colquitt county
farms and will reveal in an impres
sive manner the remarkable growth
of the live stock industry around
Moultrie.
The agricultural exhibits will ex
cel those entered last year. Every
one of the seventeen militia districts
in the county will be represented and
many of them will have displays as
large as counties usually send to the
state fair. The outstanding amuse
ment features of the fair will be
auto polo and professional automo
bile rcing. For this latter event
four drivers have been secured, and
they will bring their own machines.
Farm Labor Shortage
in Terrell County
DAWSON, Ga., Sept. 24.—The
farmers of Terrell county and in'
fact in this whole section are sac
ing a labor shortage. They have been
unable to obtain the labor needec
and quite a number of them state
that twice as many cotton pickers
can be used during the next few
weeks as • can be obtained, and thai
there are thousands of acres of open
cotton that cannot be touched foi
some time. This means deterioration
of cotton in the fields. The gins have
been crowded for he past week or
ten days and to meet the situation
some of the gins are running both
night and day.
The shortage of labor is due, it Is
said, to the migration of the negr
farm hands to the north and eas
whence they went in search of high
er wages, and the abandonment o
the farms by young white men wh
are obtaining higher wages in th
industries of the cities and town
Prices paid for cotton picking hax
advanced about 200 per cent durlr,
the past three years and may eve
go higher. Three years ago tk
standard price for picking cotton w:
50 cents per 100 pounds and no-,
with the price doubled there are n.
volunteers for the work. Ginning
charges also are higher.
