6 SOUTH’S GREATEST LIVE STOCK SHOW EXHIBITED AT FAIR The aristocracy of the llv* stock world, the thoroughbreds of purest blood, are on exhibition out at the Southeastern fair in the cattle and swine departments. Never before in the south has there been such a dis play of blue-blooded live stock and veterans in the business say that the jxhibit is one of the finest to be seen inywhere in the country. For example, there is Fair Sultan, a. gigantic Polled Shorthorn bull, ex hibited by the Dunreath Farms, of Forest Hill, Tenn. This animal weighs 2,600 pounds and is the largest bovine specimen at the fair. He is four years old and carries a life insurance policy of $5,000, al though his owners have twice re fused SIO,OOO for him. Then there Is Lakewood Fairfax, a 2,400-pound Hereford bull owned by the Picker ing Farms, of Belton, Mo. He was purchased by his present owners for $31,000 and has a retinue of attend ants who look after him as carefully as though he were a new-born in fant. The Mimosa herd of Guernseys, from the Mimosa Guernsey Farm, at Wisacky, S. C., has on display some of the finest specimens of this breed ever seen in the south. Their prize animal is Lord Mar of Elmendorf, a seven-year-old bull valued at $25,- 000 and insured for $11,500. The Mimosa herd numbers twenty head. 'Another splendid exhibit of Guern seys is shown by the Killarney IJarms, of Columbus City, Ind. Their yearling bull, Almira’s Prince of Clear Creek, is considered one of the finest show and breeding animals in the country. He has been shown at the state fairs in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi, having won four firsts in his clas, two seconds and one third. Killarney Clare, a Guernsey heifer shotfrn by the same exhibitors, is one of the finest females at the fair. Standing out among the Georgia breeders exhibiting at the fair is A. t Holman, proprietor of the Cherokee ' Farms, of Thomasville, Ga. This es / tablishment has as fine an exhibit of < Jerseys as might be seen in a yetir’s journey. The prize animal of the Cherokee herd is a two-year-old cow, You’ll Do’s Fairy, by Karnak’s You’ll Do. She has been shown only once, at the Jacksonville, Fla., live stock show, where she was the senior yearling heifer, junior champion and grand champion in her class, also winning the grand championship oi all breeds. She is valued at $5,000. The Cherokee Farms has recently sold to P. H. B. Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey, a bull named Fern’s Ox ford. the purchase price being $ Bookkeeping System Is Easy to Manage and Helps Credit at Bank Farmer Jones desired to negotiate a loan at his local bank. "Just what is your financial con dition?” asked the banker. *Why,” said Jones, “I own a house •and land, and a couple of horses and some cows and live stock, and an rrchard and ” "Have you a detailed inventory * showing the value of these things?” the banker interrupted him. “No —o,” the farmer replied. ’"I haven’t time to bother keeping books.” “Good gracious, man!” exclaimed •he banker, "anyone can keep books. The way the thing’s worked out now days it doesn’t require more than five minutes’ work a day. Then when you come here for a loan you could produce a sheet of paper and say ’Here’s what I’ve got, here’s what I owe, and here’s what I’d have in cash if I sold tomorrow.’ As it is, I’m afraid I can’t let you have the money until I have this informa tion.” Simple System Meets Farmer’s Needs This conversation takes place in hundreds of towns every day, accord ing to specialists of the office of farm management and farm econom ics, United States department of ag riculture. Os course, farmers are very busy men. They haven’t the time to study complicated account ing methods. But, according to the federal specialists, once the princi ples of bookkeeping are understood and all farm conditions studied, a simple system of bookkeeping can be developed to meet the farmer s needs. The foundation of any set ‘of books is an inventory showing the farm er’s assets and liabilities. The as sets include real estate, live stock, machinery and tools, produce, feed and supplies, cash on hand and in bank, and accounts receivable at the ' date the inventory is taken. Each item under these headings should be listed separately. Real estate should be valued at what it can be sold for under normal conditions; live stock feed and farm produce at market prices, less cost of marketing; farm supplies at cost; machinery and tools at a price allowing for annual de preciation. The liabilities should in clude mortgages, notes and accounts payable. The sum of the liabilities deducted from the total assets will show the farmer’s net worth. Classification of Accounts While an inventory is generally • the first thing a banker asks for when making a loan, he also wants to know the sources of income. By go ing just a little further the farmer can ke°p records that will enable him r 0 know his profits and losses. This • requires a classification of accounts ir which certain principles shoula be followed. The precise classification to be used is determined by the pre vailing conditions on the farm in question. Full details regarding .he various phases of farm bookkeeping are con ained in Farmers’ Bulletin all, "Farm Bookkeeping,” Farmers Bul letin 572, "A System of Farm Cost Accounting,” and Farmers’ Bulletin 782 "The Use of a Diary for Farm Accounts.” These bulletins can be had upon request of the United States department of agriculture, Washington, D.

It is nature’s | most beautiful robe. Left to her l own devices, nature c Overs the land scape with grass. It is her first ef fort toward restoring the land which man has so ruthlessly and complete ly destroyed times without number. Green is nature’s predominant color, and in the various moods and tenses in which she uses it, it is the jnost restful, inspiring and comforting of all colors. If this be true, why do we not prize grass more than ww have in the past? Why do we fight it out of our lawns and away from around our houses? Why do we giv,e so little attention and consid eration to having a beautiful lawn during the winter months when all nature is brown and serene and so seemingly devoid of life? There are several reasons, no doubt. The first, I am quite sure, being our lack of knowledge of just how and when and what to plant. Os course, we may use quite a variety of grasses for lawn purposes. Where there is com paratively little shade, there is noth ing superior to Bermuda grass. Where the trees are tall and dense and well distributed over the lawn, Bermuda grass is very unsatisfac tory. There is an impression that it we cannot use Bermuda grass a beautiful lawn cannot be had in the cotton belt. This is a great mistake and one which we should proceed to correct as rapidly as possible, it is not so difficult to have shade on the lawn for the summer months Trees grow rapidly arid beautifully in this country, and there is no finer example of a shade tree: to be found anywhere than the oa • Grasses'do well under the water oak due to the density of its shade. We can soon, therefore, shade a lawn sufficiently so that blue grass, Ital ian rye grass, white cloy.er, burr clover and even some other ot tne tame, grasses can be grown success fully. g The one great objection to ' itniinn rve irrass lies in the laci that it must be seeded each year as it is an annually. One could of course, let it grow up and seed it it on land devoid ot l calcium, the same is true of beautiful vet I know of no more eras s sight than a.

I P use the larger amount a ?Y a X s ‘ T.he amount of seed to use will of -bourse vary with the size of the lawn 1 am recommending the above seeding for an area of lawn containing about one-third of an acre The grass should be covered into the suitace soil. Later in the season when it has made a good start, top dress with rich leaf mold and .Y el l;Y?n i7 d yard manure or commercial fertiliz er These materials are preferably used in the order named The ma nure should be well-rotted so as to destroy objectionable weed The seed should be purchased of the most reliable firms available be cause only the best quality of seed should be used on a lawn. It>s Pre supposed that the lawn will have been graded down to a perfect level >nd fairly well compacted before he same grass is sown. It will hardly make enough growth the first fall to necessitate its being cut. If this should happen, how ever, it may be mown with an or dinary lawn mower. In the spring of the year as soon as warm weath 'er comes watering hould be under- I taken. Thi s must be persisted in ; throughout the season. If there are i large unshaded open spaces, sow I Bermuda grass about the first of i April at the rate of ten to twelve ; pounds per acre. Rake it into the ; surface of the soil lightly. As soon as growth opens up In the spring top dress the lawn with a fertilizer containing four to five per cent of nitrogen, eight to nine per cent of phosphoric acid and three to four per cent of potash. This should be used at the rate of two hundred pounds per acre. Any carrier of ni trogen will be found satisfactory and one would ordinarily apply acid phosphate as a carrier of phosphoric add. Nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia make excellent top dressers for lawns which are well supplied with other elements mentioned. Two hundred pounds per acre is not too much to apply el either of the aar riera of nitrogen mentioned. Two top dressings sFhuld be made one in the spring and the other In the fall. The second spring application shduid i | naturally be made some time in May, and the fall application should be made about the first of October. Grazing the lawn is to be avoided. Keeping it clipped with a lawn mow er will tend to thicken up the growth. Removing the cut grass from the lawn is, in my judgment, a mistake. It should be left to act as a mulch or cover for the tender young roots. If the lawn is cut with sufficient frequency, there no need for removing the grass from the sur face. It will not militate against the appearance of .the lawn, and great benefits are to be gained in my opinion from leaving the cut grass ■for the purpose indicated above. A good lawn should probably be gone over twice a week. Some seasons, once a week will be often enough. At others, cutting as much as three times a week may be necessary. The lawn should be constantly gone over with some sharp and nar row pointed instrument and growths of any kind cut out. This is a most important and essential undertaking. If this matter be neglected, a lawn will soon become little better than a weed patch. Volunteer growths of grass of various kinds will also make their presence felt. They can be con trolled or destroyed in the manner indicated. Some may think that the seeding of Bermuda will damage the lawn. They are in error in this re spect. as this grass only grows in the hottest weather and makes a very poor showing in the shade. It does, however, help to give bottom, color and density to the turf during the warm months. Its use in the manner suggested, therefore, is de sirable. During warm weather the lawn should be watered every day. It is best to keep a hose with a spray nozzle on the end running' ajl the time. This may be moved from place to place with very little effort and so a sufficient amount of moisture kept in the soil to insure the uniform growth of the lawn. It is a mistake to water by fits and starts. This only results in the lawn being green and sunburned by turns. A failure to water the lawn for any considerable period of time at certain seasons will result in the destruction of most of the varieties of grass recom mended for general use. There are those no doubt who will say that the cost of following the course indicated is prohibitive. It is not more so, however, than to in dulge ourselves in many other pleas ures or fancies. The seed required for an ordinary lawn will cost from $2 to $7 a year, depending on its area. The fertilizer will cost from $5 to $lO a year. There is labor enough around every home to cut and water the lawn. The actual water used will cost from $1 to $5 a month, depending on the size of the lawn. One can have a beautiful green sward to look out upon and derive inspiration and happiness from at a cost of two to three dol lars a month. Is there anything that adds so much to the beauty and attractive ness of the home as a pretty lawn’ I do not know what it could be. There are thousands of people who would think nothing of spending $5 for a couple of tickets to the theater or for any other purpose that might interest their fancy. It is not on ac count of economics we have practic ed or the necessity of- saving money that has kept us from having a lar ger number of more beautiful lawns. Rather, it is due to a lack of appre ciation of how to proceed. Un doubtedly, no feature of the home has been more neglected than the lawn. Let us see if we cannot put on a campai"n of state-wide pro portrnn that will result in the estab lishment of a beautiful green sward in front of every one of our homes whether located in the city or out in the open county. Covering up a por tion of the landscape with nature’s carpet is a well worthwhile under taking. Now is the time to act. The Management to Accord Cotton Land W. S. M., Thomaston, Ga., writes: I have some very good land that is in corn and velvet beans that I wish to plant in cot ton next year. I wish to know what kind of fertilizer to use. AVhat about sulphate of ammo nia and nitrate of soda? You are acting right in thinking about getting your land in shape for cotton for the 1921 crop. Plow the land as soon as you can and cultivate it occasionally so as to keep the crust broken on the surface and en courage the absorption of moisture throughout the fall and winter. Fall plowed land can be bedded earlier and made ready for cotton than that broken in the spring. This is a most important thing to accomplish when one has to contend with the boll wee vil. On land of the type you de scribe, we would use a formula con taining 4 per cent nitrogen, 9 per cent of phosphoric arid and from 3 to 4 per cent of potash,. We would apply 500 pounds of tffis fertilizer under the drill row at the time the crop was planted. We would not use any side applications in weevil infested territory. Fight the weevil from the very beginning, and there is no reason why you should nor. make from 60 to 80 per cent of a crop. There is no objection to using either sulphate of ammonia or ni trate of soda as carriers of nitro gen for cotton. Use which ever is the cheapest source of available ni trogen you can obtain. If the vari ety of cotton you are growing is giving satisfactory results, stick to it. It has not seemed to us to be as early as some we have tested here, and one needs an early variety of cotton to succeed best under weevil conditions. On that account we have recommended College No. 1, a strain developed here on the college farm and which has proven its merits in many sections of the state. Protection From Velvet Sean Sting T. D. S., Barnesville, Ga., writes: I wish to know what will overcome the sting of vel vet beans. We have raised a lot of them, but they sting the flesh every time we handle them for forage or hay. I do not Bee how we are to get them picked if , there is not something to u»e to relieve th* Btlng. There 1« only one effective means of protecting the hands ifrom the sting of the velvet bean. It Is to wear rather heavy end long gloves of the gauntlet type. They should come well up on the arm. This is the plan of procedure followed In many sections of the state where the harvesting of this crop is carried on in the manner you have suggest ed. Os course, velvet beans can be harvested if grown in association with corn, by machinery. This ob viates the necessity of handling the beans with the bare hands. Large quantities, however, are gathered es pecially on small farms in the man ner you have indicated, and I feel sure that the wearing of a pair of gauntlets of the character I have suggested will prove a great relief to one doing this work. There is' no chemical oil or other ointment which can be applied to the skin in so far as I know that will effect any measure of relief from the sting of the velvet bean. You doubtless know there is a fuzzless variety de veloped at Putney, Ga., which, of course, can be handled with impuni ty. This variety does not make near ly so large a yield as those covered with the velvet and hence its cul tiyation has not been extensively un dertaken up to the present time. The Value of Mexican Clover W. A. R., Glenwood, Ga., Writes: I am sending a sample of clover and would like to know what kind it is, and if it will improve the land and if it is good for grazing hogs and cows. The sample of clover sent 'for identification is what is known as Mexican clover.« It is also some times called Florida Parslane. It is not a true clover, however, and should not be confused with the standard sorts such as Crimson, Red, Alsike and Burr clover. It occurs very commonly throughout south Georgia, where it is either indigenous or semi-indigenous to the soil. It comes up as a volunteer growth just like crab grassland presents rather an attractive appearance. The bloom, as you doubtless have observed, is very small. This clover is not of much value for grazing purposes, though it can be used at all times with some advantage for grazing hogs. This is its chief value inso far as we have been able to-'gather. Occasionally, it could be made into hay if proper methods of handling and management were instituted. We do not think it would make a hay of any special value and would not regard it with favor for this purpose. We think there are many other crops to which you could devote your at tention which would prove much more profitable from the standpoint of -grazing hogs or cattle. We are sure there are much more valuable plants to be cultivated in your sec tion of Georgia for hay-making pur poses. Treating a Cow in a Run-down Condition L. B. H., Caleva, Ala., writes: I have a very fine milk cow but she is thin and seems to be weak; also something seems to be wrong with her kidneys. Please tell me something to do for her and oblige. Your cow may be suffering from some strain to the loin or back, which has reacted on the kidneys in the manner you have indicated. The loin or back of cattle is a sensitive part of the body and is subject to injury very often from a variety of causes. If troubles such as you de scribe occur, you should make a thorough examination to be certain that there are absolutely no ticks on the cow anywhere. Even one of these ticks may produce an aggra vated condition such as you describe. You may be in a tick-free area and think this could not occur, but it is possible for there to be a rein drinking alkaline, putrid or imnure water. The consumption of any food which is moldy or musty has been known to accelerate troubles of this character. The first procedure, there fore, is to remove all possible causes of troubles of the character indi cated. A good procedure would be to give a moderate dose of either castor or olive oil. Oils should be used in this particular instance in prefer ence to salts. Fomentation of the back and kidneys with warm water mav also prove helpful. The use of severe blisters is, of course, to be avoided, though occasionally a mus tard poultice may be found helpful After correcting any defects in the food and supplying the animal with plenty of pure water, tonic treatment may be resorted to. To this end four drams of gentian powder may be given daily. Good tonic results may sometimes follow the use of bicarbonate of soda given in tea spoonful doses twice daily in the feed Os course, it is essential ta't vou use only wholesome, easily di gested and nutritious hays and con centrates. If you have been feed'".,' cottonseed meal or meal and nulls, leave these out of the ration alto gether for a few days and give your cow warm bran mashes and a fair amount of chopped-up. fresh, succu lent or green feed. Also allow her to have the range of a . ture and give her plenty of good, clean water to drink. The Best Type of Seed Wheat T. J. T., White Plains, Ga., writes: I have some samples of fine wheat grown in Virginia, and wish to know If it will be advisable for me to plant this seed this far south. Experience has demonstrated that as a rule locally produced seed is the most satisfactory. It is but natural that this should be the case. Plant, like animals, are affected by envir onmental conditions. When we bring fresh seed, therefore, from distant points we may be sure that it will take some time to adjust itself to local conditions. The extreme chang ing of seed is, therefore, to be avoid ed. On the other hand, we would make little progress in the improve ment of many of our farm and gar den crops but for the fact that we can introduce improved strains from time to time and gain substantial benefits in this way. In planting, therefore, there is a happy medium to follow. Under the circumstances I can see no objection to your secur ing and sowing a fine grade of wheat produced in Virginia in your sec tion of Georgia. Among the best varieties of wheat to plant in this state are the Geor gia Red, Leap’s Prolific and Red May. You may be abls to obtain seed of these varieties which have been produced locally. We have test ed these varieties on our plats for several years past and they have made an excellent showing. I do not tnink you will make a mistake in planting Georgia-grown seed of any of the varieties mentioned. U. S. Crop Estimate Due November 8; Cotton Not Listed On Monday, November 8, the Bureau of Crop Estimates, Unit ed States Department of Agricul ture, will issue a crop summary which will give the following in formation: The production and quality of corn, buckwheat, pota toes, sweet potatoes, tobacco, flax seed, apples, pears, cranberries, and peanuts; production, only, of clover seed. grain, sorghums, onions, cabbage and sorghum sirup; the percentage of the 1919 crop on farms November 1, 1920; the average weight per measured bushel of the wheat, oats, and barley crops of this year. A general review of crop con ditions on November 1 will be given, which will include the fol lowing items: The production, compared with a full crop, of field peas, grapes, figs, almonds, and walnuts; condition on No vember 1, or at any time of har vest, of sugar beets, oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit, and olives. No report on cotton will be issued in November. Fruit Pest Fight Can Be Waged Best In Fall and Winter In order to increase the produc tion of fruit it is essential that fruit growers wage a continuous fight on orchard pests. Some of the most valuable control work can be accom plished during the fall and winter monhs. Certain destructive insects are held in check only by spray ing during the dormant period of trees, when the trees are in foliage. Many insects spend the winter on the tree in the egg, larva, or pupal stage, and their destruction in the course of pruning and other orchard work is practicable and is of much importance in keeping them re duced. Certain fungous and bacte trial diseases, particularly pear blight and apple canker, are best worked upon at this time. Practically all of the orchard scale insects can be successfully controlled by spraying the trees after the foliage has dropped. This work may be done either in the fall or during the winter when the tem perature is above freezing and in the spring before the buds come out. During these periods a strong solu tion of lime sulphur is used by a great many orchardists in controll ing San Jose scale and many other serious scale pests. Other scale insect pests, such as the cherry scale, oyster-shell scale, etc., can usually be held In check bv the dormant spray with lime-sul phnr wash. The treatment is also effective against the pear leaf blis ter mite, wlklch is universally pres ent on pears, and in many locali ties becomes a serious apple pest. Some plant lice that are destructive especially to young apple trees win ter In the egg stage and are destroy ed by this treatment. One thing that must be remembered in apply ing the dormant spray is that the solution should cover every part of the tree or it will not be effective. Alabama Commissoner Urges Growers to Hold . Cotton for Sixty Days MONTGOMERY, Ala.—Farmers of Alabama and the south are called upon by M. C. Allgood, state commis sioner of agriculture, today to hold their cotton off the market for sixty days and business men and bankers were urged to co-operate wjth the agricultural interests in the estab lishment of a sixty-day morotorium on financial transactions based on cotton in order that the cotton mar ket may be readjusted. Commissioner Allgood said the sale of the southern cotton crop at present prices will mean financial ruin to thousands, but that a co-op erative holding movement will pro tect all interests. “There is the strongest holding movement on in the south in its his tory,” said Commissioner Allgood. “The farmers are simply fighting for their rights and if they win and sell their cotton for 40 cents as against 20, they will save $1,200,000,000; if they sell at 20 cents the bear specu lators will take all the profit.” Mr. Allgood urged business men to say now which side they are on, whether they will be with the south ern farmers or against them. "Sen ator Comer, who has loaned $200,000 to farmers with which to hold their cotton, says, ‘Tell the farmers to hold their cotton till the cows come home,’ ” said the commissioner. ‘Are there not hundreds of other patriotic citizens throughout the south who will also lend the cotton farmer mon ey so he can receive at dost of production for his cotton?” WoridCottoni Statistics The world’s production of commer cial cotton, exclusive of linters, grown in 1919, as compiled from pub lished reports, documehts, and corre spondence by the bureau of the cen sus, was approximately 20,250,000 bales of 500 pounds net, while the consumption of cotton (exclusive of linters in the United States) for the year ending July 31, 1919, was ap proximately 15,970,000 bales of 000 pounds net. The total number of producing cotton spindles, both active end idle, is about 150,000,000. 419 Eggs From 20 Days Mr. Dougherty Got This Result In October. is Easily Tried. “I tried Don Sung and the results were far past any expectations.

Turkey raising in recent years, however, has decreased, one of the main reasons for this de cline being that as the population of the country increased farming be came more intensive and the area suitable for turkey raising was re duced. Turkeys require plenty of range in order to thrive. Many farmers, however, still con sider turkeys a profitable side line on the farm, and about the first of October begin to consider how to put more flesh on their turkey stock. Feeding Turkey Flock During the summer and early fall turkeys can find an abundance of feed on the average farm. Grass hoppers and other insects, weeds and grass seeds, green vegetation, ber ries, and grain picked up in the fields all go to make up the turkey’s daily ration. When this natural feed is plentiful, very little need be add ed until fattening time; except for the purpose of bringing the turkeys every night to roost and to keep them from straying from home. For this purpose one feed of grain every night just before roosting time is sufficient. Fattening for Market In fattening turkeys for the mar ket an excellent plan is to begin about October 1 to feed night and morning, feeding only so much at a time that the birds go away a little hungry, and gradually increasing the quantity until they are given all they will clean up three times a day during the week before mar keting. By the latter feeding is meant that they are fed until' they leave the feed and walk away. Some turkey raisers feed wheat and oats during the first part of the fatten ing season, gradually changing to corn as the weather becomes cooler. The majority, however, begin feed ing heavily on corn about November 1, and, since turkeys are not accus tomed to such heavy feeding, scours often result, especially if new corn is used.
