Frank W, Fitch, Dairy Specialist
State College of Agriculture,Athens
With the cheese factory due to
start operations on March ist, and
with the co-operation of everybody
toward making it a success, we are
going to see prosperity in Cleve¬
land and vicinity. For if the
farmers have a steady income and
money o pay cash for their needs,
then the banks, the storekeepers
and business men will all derive
their share from the generally im¬
proved financial condition.
Speaking directly to the farmers
I want to say that whenever and
wherever the dairy cow has had a
chance she has given a good ac¬
count of herself. However, she
must be given attention and care,
just as any well-managed business,
attention must be given to the de¬
tails or no profit will be derived
from that business. The one item
of proper feeding has more effect
on making dairying profitable than
any other one factor.
Certain feeds have been found
through actual feeding tests, to
produce more milk per pound of
feed than will a like amount of
other feeds. I will mention some
of the good dairy feeds and the pro¬
portions in which they should be
used in mixing a grain ration :
500 lbs. corn and cob meal.
300 lbs. cottonseed meal.
200 lbs. rice bran or wheat bran.
100 lbs. ground oats.
1 % of salt.
Taking them in the above order,
corn and cob is the whole ear
ground up. This corn should be
raised at home. The whole ear
makes the feed more bulky than if
just the kernel were used, and as
the cob is of no particular value for
no other purpose, it can just as well
be used in the feed to give it bulk,
which the cow needs to assist in
digestion.
Cottonseed meal is the highest in
food value of any feed we have, it
can be obtained usually in ex¬
change for cotton seed, which is
produced on the farm, from 1,600
to 1,800 pounds of meal in ex
change for a ton of the cotton seed.
The seed nor the hulls are not good
cow feed and it is good policy to
exchange them foi meal when pos¬
sible, or sell them and buy meal.
The rice bran or wheat bran is
the only part of the ration which
th; farmer will have to bat from
the grain de tier. But that should
not prevent his feeding some ot it,
as it will pay. The bran c ntains
certain mineral elements used in
producing size and frame, and no
animal can do good work if stunted
in growth and under size. Besides
the bran is a laxative feed and has
an excellent effect on the digestive
system.
Oats are rich in food value and
milk-producing quality, bulky and
easily raised on the farm.
One pound of salt for each hun¬
dred pounds of grain can be added
to the ration with goad results.

Two Negroes Arrested For
An Attack on White Girl
Knoxville, Tenn., Feb. 17.—
Fearing possible mob violence when
Arthur Hendrix and Roy Grady,
two negroes, appeared for prelim¬
inary hearing this afternoon,
charged with attacking a young
white girl here lust night, all jail
guards were furnished with riot
guns. Only quick work by the
officers prevented a lynching last
night when the g rl identified the
two negroes as her assailants.
NOTICE.
This is notice that I have set gin
days as follows :
Tuesday and Friday of each
week until March 1st after which
I will discontinue the gin and will
not be in the market for scrap cot¬
ton.
All that have cotton to gin will
remember my ginning days.
Respectfully,
A. F. Kenimer.
Leaf, Ga.
this is not necessary if you keep a
box of salt in tne shed or under
cover where the rain will not dis¬
solve it and where it will always
be easy for the cows to eat what
they want.
Don’t feed the cows the same
amount of grain; feed them ac¬
cording to the amount of milk they
produce or about one pound of
grain to every threa pounds of
milk. Use milk scales and weigh
each cow’s milk and you can soon
tell which one to sell when your
neighbor wants one and which
ones are profitable to keep for your¬
self. When a cow is dry she only
needs a small amount of grain to
keep her in good condition, and
for two weeks previons to freshen¬
ing she should have only light lax¬
ative feeds, such as a mixture of
oats and bran. No cottonseed meal
should be fed at this period, as it
is heavy and constipating, and the
cow at this time does not need a
rich feed. Much of the trouble
with cows cleaning off the after¬
birth can be traced directly to feed¬
ing cottonseed meal up to the time
the calf is born.
In addition to the concentrated
feeds, a dairy cow must have plenty
of roughage or course bulky feeds.
If she has a good pasture in the
summer, she requires no hay and
very little grain; but in the months
when grazing is poor she needs
; hay. Peavine hay' is one of the
(best we can raise in this country.
It i- not only an excellent feed, but
: is a legume, which adds nitrogen
i to the soil and Helps build it up.
Oats and rye can be sown in the
fall and pastured off in the winter
and spring when there is no graz
ing in the pasture. It is very poor
business to buy hay at $35.00 to
$40.00 a ton when you can raise
just as good on your own farm.
Always plan to raise enough for
your own use, and if you had some
to sell this year it would pay better
than cotton.
Save all of your stable manure;
it is better than any fertilizer you
can buy.

State College ol Agricnlture Interested
Before another issue of our paper
is out the'Co-operative Cheese Fac¬
tory Will be opened and making
cheese that is not equalled by any
made in Michigan or New York.
These are facts. They have done
it before and we feel confident hey
will do it again.
There is but one reason why the
cheese factory was unable to meet
expenses and pay a good dividend,
and that was the lack of patron¬
age. The people did not supply
it with enough milk to warrant a
fair price for the milk, but now
since commodities have been great¬
ly reduced and there is little or no
tale for dairy products, it is believ¬
ed that our farmers will render
every assistance possible to make it
a paying proposition. The cost is
practically the same for 500 gallon 1
as for 50 gallons, and you can
readily see that your support is
needed.
If the people will put a deter¬
mined spirit into the movement we
feel sure that they will have enough
milk daily to warrant a satisfactory
price, and the factory will prosper.
Now don’t delay any longer in see¬
ing that it is made a success. It
all depends upon the farmers’ sup¬
port as to whether it is made a suc¬
cess, and don’t you farmers fall
short with your support. Show the
public that you are determined to
see it run, and when you say that
it will run.
Star! now to t’alk with
neighbor to see if he won’t co-op¬
erate with you in bringing milk to
the factory. He will if you go at
him in the right way; he can’t do
otherwise if he is a good neighbor.
The State College of Agriculture
has assured us that they will assist
us in every way possible in making
it run. They have foresight
enough to see that our farmers will
make a sad mistake if they fail to
give it their support. They have
sent Mr. Fitch, expert dairyman,
up here to look over the situation,
and Mr. Fitch informed us that he
would be glad to come up here and
spend a week with our farmers in
getting the best feeds for the cow.
and her proper care. Why don’t
some of you men who have a little
progressive spirit write him ; it will
cost only a two-cent stamp. He is
a fine, congenial and pleasant man
who knows and studies his work,
and will he glad for you to write
him. He has written an article on
the proper feed for the cow which
appears in this issue. Read it.
The following letter is self-ex¬
planatory and will be of interest to
the public, especially to the school
teachers:
Atlanta, Feb. 21, 1921.
To the County Superintendent and
Treasurer Board of Education :
You will recall that R. N. Ber¬
rien & Co. were awarded the loan
warrants for 1921 at the rate of
6.92% per annum. Thus far he
has been unable to secure the funds
within or without the State. We
are hopeful that he will not delay
you much longer, but we are com¬
pelled to admit that the prospect is
not encouraging for you to receive
the proceeds of these warrants
soon. If you aee pressed for im¬
mediate need* I hope you will be
able to make some other arrange¬
ment.
Very truly,
M. L. BRITTAIN,
State Superintendent of Schools.

Gainesville Midland Railroad Put
In Hands of Receiver
The operating expenses of the
Gainesville Midland Ruilrjad were
$84,487.87 above the actual earn¬
ings for 1921, and the creditor,
Henry G. Bradlee of Boston, Muss,
filed his suit in the home office, Sa¬
vannah, Ga., alleging that the rail¬
road is insolvent and that it sus
tai.ied a deficit <•. 5.88.295 86 and
that the present cost of operating
far exceeds the income. The road
was placed in the hands of W. B.
Veazey and G. C. Carson as re¬
ceivers by the United States dis¬
trict court.
The president of the road made
this proposition to his employes
before the road was put into the
hands of a receiver :
“The proposition is therefore
made to the employes to devote all
income from the operation of the
road during this period to the pay¬
ment of necessary operating ex¬
penses and to the wages of em¬
ployes for the period of six months
and to readjust the payroll on this
basis.
This is the only possible way the
road can continue to operate and
we therefore urge your serious con¬
sideration and immediate accept¬
ance of this plan.

March 4th Inauguration Day
March 4U1 is the great day of
our nation. On that day the new
rulers will take the oath of office,
and in them lies the progress and
development of our United States
fer the next four years.
Mr. Harding has given much
of his time since his election to the
consultation of America’s greatest
minds and has no doubt received
much benefit from their ideas. He
is not new in politics, therefore he
is a good listener. He has selected
some of America’s most sane and
sober thinkers for bis cabinet. It
will take fine courage, and it seems
that be lias it, to look over the
heads of the sordid, unimaginative,
cynical and selfish phalanx of poli¬
ticians during these perilous times
of financial depression and recon¬
struction period, so that the com¬
mon people’s interest' may'tjS" 'Safl

His cabinet members that have
been given out are: Chas. E.
Hughes. New York, Secretary of
State; Harry M. Dougherty, Ohio,
Attorney-General, and these are
the possibilities: Will II. Hays,
