Georgia Farmers Show in Prac
tical Way How to Profitably
Vary Cultivation.
The tarmers of Brooks County, Ga.,
have proved in a most practical way
that a diversified type of farming,
with cotton retained as the chief
single source cos income, can be prof
‘tably develojed in many parts of the
South. For many years the farmers,
particularly In the iower half of the
county, have developed the swine in
dustry and the production on the
farm of the products consumed In
the home to a point that has been
equaled in but few places In the
South.
The United States Department of
Agricuylture in 1914 cogducted a farm
management survey in this county, a
report of which is published In Bul
ietin 648, which states that the type
of farming found embodies features
that might with profit be adopted
in many parts of the cotton belt,
Cotton continues to be the chief
gource of income in this section, but,
unlike many other localities in the
Sonth, the next largest returns are
ascredited to hogs. Little of the cro
land in this community 1s wasted. Ig
i& either mado Into pasture for hogs
or cattle, or cultivated and put In
c¢orn and peanuts (usually grown to
gether), cotton, watermelons, oats,
rye, and other feed crops. On nearly
gvcry farm there is & good home gar
en.
Advantage in Diversification,
The type of farming employed in
this community, the report states,
shows that the more lightly diversi
fled farms have a slight advantage
over the others in the yields of crops,
a considerable advantage In provid
ing profitable employment for the
work stock, and in returning larger
profits per farm. The farms upon
which the least diversification was
practiced ret\:rned 16 per cent less
profit than thé average for the farms
of similar size, while the farms prac
ticing the most diversification re
turned 10 per cent more than the av
erage.
In considering this question of di
versified farming the bulletin sounds
one note of warning. It states that
wide departure from practices that
fit economic factors at work in the
mmnnlg are likely to lead to
fil ancial disaster., The proper selec
tion of farm enterprizes is a large
factor in determining the success of
the business, and of equal impor
tance is the combining of these en
terprises in the proportion that best
fit the local conditions. No abrupt
changes, therefore, should be made
unless the ‘ocal conditions are
changed by such factors as altered
market conditions or the Introduc
tion of serlous pests, and any
changes should nave the most care
ful consideration of the farmer,
Larger Yields and Profite.
The report further points out that
one of the surest means of increasing
the profitableness of these farms is
by increasing the ecrop ylelds. There
{s for each crop a point beyond which
t:g further increase in yleld can be
secured only at a cost higher than
the returns, On some individual
farms in Brooks County this point of
“Jdiminishing returns” has no doabt
been reached or exceeded, but in
studying groups of farms it was
found that on the average increasing
the ylelds of any crop resulted in in
‘creased profits, ;
Keeping work stock employed Is
another important factor in the de
termining of tarm profits. On farms
that kept mules productively em
ployed for only 62 days per year the
cost of work stock was $1.70 per day,
whereas on farms providing 172 days
:; productive labor the cost was only
cents per cay. The farm that
kept work stock economically em
ployed dld so by cultivating a suffi
elently large area per mule. Thirty
to thirty-five acres per work animal
was found to he the most profitable
on -the light solls of Brooks County.

Federal Reporting Board Shows the
Amounts of Grains on Farms

The crop reporting board of the Bu
reau of Crop Estimates makes the fol
lowing estimates from reports of its eor
re'llpondonu and agents:
he amount of corn on farms March
1, 1918, was about 1,292,95000 bushels,
or 40.9% cent of the 1917 crop, against
782,308, bushels, fl or §0.56 per cent of
the 1916 crop on farms March 1, 1817,
and 1,116,669,000 bushels, or 37.83 per cent
of the 1915 crop on farms March 1, 1916,
About 21.9 per cent of the crop will be
shipped out of the counties where srown,
against 178 per cent of the 1916 crop
and 18.7 per cent of the 1916 crop so
shipped. The proportion of the 1917
crop which {8 merchantable is about
60.8 per cent (equivalent to 1,905,723,000
bushels), l.:ulnst 83.9 per cent (2,164,
487,000 bushels} of the 1018 cm‘) and
1.1 Per cent (2,127,966,000 bushels) of
the 1018 erog.
The amount of wheat on farms March

Meat Scrap Found
Peanuts, Soy Bean or Velvet Bean
Meal Gives Good Results With
Laying Hens.
- In the eighteen monthg preceding
January, 1918, the price of meat or
beef scrap has increased 100 per cent,
while in some places it has been dif
ficult to secure {t at all, making it
advisable to use something in place
of this feed. Previous experiments
have shown that the beef scrap or
some other animal protein feed is es
sential {in a mash to get good egg
production and to produce eggs eco
nomically, especially during the win
ter. Rations for laying hens contain.
ing peanut meal, soy bean meal and
‘velvet bean meal have been used
with good results sgince the first of
November on the Governm®&ht poul
try farm.
Half of the beef scrap normally fed
in the mash has ben replaced by
these feeds, making the rations as
follows:
A scratch mixture of two parts
cracked corn and one part oats, and
a mash of nine parts corn méal, five
parts middlings, four parts of bran,
two parts beef scrap, and two parts
of elther peanut meal, soy bean meal
or velvet hean meal. « All ‘of these
parts are by weight. A similar ra
tion containing cotton seed meal has
been fed with good results for over
one year. The percentage of protein
in these feeds was as follows: Beef
scrap, 60 to 65; soy bean meal, 44;
cotton seed meal, 38; peanut meal, 28,
and velvet bean meal 19,
The egg yield for the first three
months has been fairly good with all
of these feeds, but not quite as good
as has been secured from the use of
a normal amount of heef scrap. The
highest’ egg vield was secured from
the peanut meal; nearly as good re
sults from the soy bean meal, but
only a fair egg yield from the velvet
bean meal. It would appear that all
of these feeds are worthy of a trial,
used with beef scrap, in sections
where they are easily secured. These
tests will have to be carried through
a considerable period of time to ac
curately determine the relative value
of these feeds.

For Setting Hens
Fowls Bhow Signs of Being Broody.
Prepare Nest and Handle Birds
Carefully.,
The first sign of a hen being
broody (wanting to set) is that she
stayvs longer on theJesv. when laying,
and on belng approached will quite
likely remain and make a clucking
noise, ruffle her feathers and peck at
the intruder. \When it is noted that a
lien sets on a nest from two to three
nights in succession and that the
feathers are disappearing from her
breast, which should feel hot to the
hand, she is ready to be transferred
for setting to a nest which has pre
viously Ween prepared. The normal
temperature of a hen is from 108 to
107 degrees F., which varies slightly
during incubation.
The nest should be in some quiet,
out-of-the-way place, where the set
ting hen will not be disturbed. Move
her from the regular laying nest at
night and handle her carefully in do-
Ing so. Put a china egg or two in the
I.est where she is to set and place a
board over the opening so that she
can not get off,
~ Toward the evening of the second
day quletly go in where she ig setting,
leave some feed and water, remove
the board from the front or top of the
rest, and let the hen come off when
she is ready. Shpuld she return to
the nest after feeding, ‘remove the
china egg or eggs and put under those
that are to be incubated. If the
nests are slightly darkened the hens
are less likely to become restless.
At hatching time they should be
confined and not bhe disturbed until
the hatch is completed, unless they
become restless, when it may be best
to remove the chicks that are hatched
first. In cool weather it s best not to
put more than ten eggs under a hen,
while late: In the spring one can put
twelve or fifteen, according to the size
of the hen. -
Dust the hen, thoroughly with in
tect powlder, and\n applying the pow
der hold the hen by the feet, the head
down, working the powder well into
the feathers, giving special attention
to regions around the vent and under
the wings. The powder should also
be sprinkled in the nest.
FEED FOR YOUNG CALF, 2
When the calf is two weeks old, grain
and bright, clean hay should be offered:
the quantily fed should be increased as
the calf’s appetite demands.

Likely to Suffer Serious Priva
tion Unless Self-Sustaining,
Says Agricultural Official,
“If the South neglects this yer to
provide her own -food and feed, she
is likely to suffer serious privation,
and she will ptu a burden upon the
nation which may prolong the war
and even imperil our victory,” says
Clarence Ousley, Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture, 2 |
“I am aware that these are strong!
wrods,” continues Secretary Ousley,
“but they are none too strong. I am
not expressing an alarmist personal
opinion. I am seeing through the
eyes of forty-eight agricultural col
leges and of county agents in neraly‘
every agricultural county. I have re
cently crossed the continent from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. I have stud
ied the reports gathered by the de
partment’s 18,000 represnttivs nd s
mny mor mploys of th griculturl col
lgs. I hv considerd th conclusions of
th Intrntionl Institute of Agriculture
at Rome, which has reports from all
the world,
“The plain, hard truth is thta with
40,000,000 people withdrawn from pro
ductive industries and engaged.in the
businss of destruction, it is not hu
manly possible for production on the
whole to exceed normal demand. The
question is whether production can
equal necessitous demand.
“England, France and Ttaly must be
sustained or their popultions can not
stand the strain. They have been on
scanty ‘rations for more than three
years. The chief cause of Russia's
collapse was hunger. Soldiers can
not fight when their wives and chil
dren are starving.
Transportation May Be Lacking.
“Secretary McAdoo has given worn-.
‘ing taht transportation may be lack
ing in 1918, to haul food and feed to
States and communities that do not
provide for themselves. Many cattle
’rave been secrificed in the drought
regions of the Northwest and the
‘Southwest during the last few months,
' because rallroad cars could not be
obtained as needed. Military move
ments must have first consideration,
and military moveents will be g\eater
in 1918 than in 1917. The prime ques
tion for the farmer is not what prod
uct will bring the highest price, but
what products will insure food for
his family and feed for his live stock,
and the answer is: A vegetable gar
den, a milk cow, a brood sow, a poul
try flock, ample corn, oats, peanuts,
etc.,, and then as much cotton or to
bacco as he can cultivate well.
“It is the highest demand of pa
triotism——it is the first requirement of
living—taht in 1918 every State, every
county, every neighborhood, every
farmer, be as nearly self-sustaining
as possible.
£ No Time to Gamble.
“For the South to plunge on cotton
or tobacco or any other speculative
crp and t depend upn the corn belt
for bread and meat will be for the
South to engage in a gamble which
may cause privation to its people and
disaster to the nation. For any man
new to determine his business opera
tions from the standpoint of profit
alone, without regard to the nation's
needs, is for him willfully to profiteer
in the blood of his fellows who are
fighting in France for the preserva
tion of the Republic. No man can be
excused for not taking his share of
the responsibility.
“My whole life has been spent in
the South. I know the Southern
farmer. He will do his duty as he
sees it. . I am appealing to every.
man in the South to make known
these facts—and 1 shall have no doubt
of the rseults. If they are not made
known in a way to impress the crisis
that confronts us, there may be hun
ger in this bounteous land or hunger
over yonder in Europe, where it will
spell ruin for all that is worth while
in. America.”
South Sets Standard
For Wheat and Corn
Investigations of the bureau of crop
estimates of the United §tates Depart
ment of Agriculture have placed the
normal consumption of wheat in some of
the Southern States, where little wheat
is raised and the people eat much corn
‘hread. at four bushels per capital, while
the normal consumption in the United
States is 5.3 bushels per capita.
If the people of the entire T'nited
States will substitute corn and potatoes
'ror wheat to the extent that some of
the Southern States do, says a depart
ment publication, the per capital con
sumption for the country may be low
lered to four bushels. greatly increasing
the quantity availlable for exvort to the
American armies and the Allies.
