TENN THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOI KNA AND SUCCESSFULFARTIIKG Dr AndrewK Sovle 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 are millions of people on our farms 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 •some influence on live stjfck. Over feeding, of course, is to l" avoided Ww I' /X i a profit at the age of two or three, at six and seven her profits are al 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. ■rL'iiiklY, HE.

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.
