THE GEORGIA ANIMAL
INDUSTRY CONVENTION
ATLANTA, May 12th,.—The 26th
of May is to be a memorable day in
the history of South Georgia becauze
of the coming Georgia Animal Indus
try Convention which is being called
to meet at Quitman, Georgia, by th 2
Georgia Chamber of Commerce. At
the urgent request of the Brooks
County Industrial Ciub, the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce called the
meeting to hold its sessions at Quit
man, and from present indications
it will be an ocecasion unequalled in
the history of South Georgia and the
cattle and hog industry of that sec
tion.
A number of the leading authori
ties on cattle and hog raising will
address the meeting. Among them
will be Hon. James E. Downing, of
the United States Department of Agri
culture and President of the Boys’
Pig Clubs of Georgia, who will speak
on the subject : “Pigs is Pigs;” Dr.
E. M. Nighbert, Chief of the Buroau‘
ot Animal Industry of the United
States Government for the States ufl
Georgia, Florida and South Caroljpa;
~.Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen, State Veter
inarian; Dr. A. M. Soule, Presidenr
of the State College of Agriculture,
and a number of other men of Nation
al reputation.
$40,000,000 THROWN AWAY.
In discussing the convention, Hon,
Charles J. Haden, President of the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce said
“Georgia sends away every year
more than $40,000,000 for meat and
meat products. This is equal to about
one-tenth of the entire world’s an
nual gold output. It it equal to one
third of the entire cotton crop of
Georgia. This flow of money never
ebbs. Our shipments of products to
the Northwest are relatively incon
siderable.
South Georgia has undertaken the
patriotic task of keeping this money
in Georgia. In response to the in
vitation of the Brooks County Indus
trial Club that a South Georgia-wide
Animal Industry Conference bhe held
to study and stimulate meat pro-!
duction, the Georgia Chamber of
Commerce has issued a call to the
trade bodies and mayors urgin:g
them to send delegates, not 12ss than
seven from each town, to this con
ference on May 2Gth,
It has been demonstrated through
years of actual commercial hog-rais
ing that Southwest Georgia can pro
duce pork at three to five cents a
pound, considerably cheaper than it
can be produced in the Northwest.
The Georgia grower has the advan
tage of the home markets and the |
freights thus saved. It pays h"lh‘l"
than growing cotton. It is the best
defense against the boll weevil, and
is the key-note of greater prosperity.
The meeting is not local, but state
wide. All Georgia is expected to en
courage this great gathering and all]
South Georgia will participate. l
The vital facts regarding animal‘
industry brought to the attention Ufi
the public at this gathering will be
an enormous edueative value and the
results felt throughout the state.
The interest that is being mani
fested in this convention all over the
state and the great number of letters
that are being received from those
who are making preparation to at
tend as delegates indicates that South
Georgia especially is beginning one
of the greatest industrial revivals
that the country has ever known. It
is being freely predicted that through
this convention South Georgia will
come into prominence throughout the
nation as one of the leading meat
producing sections of America, and
the industry will be given a tremen
dous stimulus as a result of the con
vention.

MAKE A SCHOLARSHIP THE GOAL
OF THE BOYs GORN GLUB WORK
Instead of a trip to Washington, the
United States Department of Agricul
ture will offer as its chief encourage
ment to the corn club winners scholar
ships in agricultural {nstitutions.
Greater knowledge of farming is bet
ter than a trip to Washington, and
even the distinction of shaking hands
with the President of the United
States.
At the last short course in agricul
ture held at the State College of Agri
culture, there were 106 corn club boys
to enroll. They remained at the Col
lege for ten days, took the course es
pecially provided for them and went
away better farmers than when they
came. Many of them acquired a
thirst for knowledge which will bring
TURNING UNDER WINTER COVER CROPS
Generally speaking rye, vetch and a
clover such as crimson or burr, is the
best winter cover crop for green
manuring. In Georgia it should be
turned under about the middle of
April. If it grows too long it pumps
too much moisture out of the soil,
leaving the land dry and lumpy when
it is broken.
Though Georgia soils are in great
need of vegetable matter, it is bet
ter for the growing season to follow,
that less vegetable matter be turned
under than too much moisture be re
moved by waiting the full develop
ment of the rye. When turned under

To one Georgia girl who is a mem
ber of the Girls’ Canning Club, a tenth
acre has meant $l3O profit. So much
money can mean, when rightly spent,
a great deal for'any country girl, A
few years' profits from a little tomato
patch may mean a course in ong of
the best colleges of the country., It
may mean the opportunity for devel
oping some natural talent to the full
est possible extent and the attainment
of some great place in the world, when
otherwise the lack of the little means
necessary would have prevented that
achievement.
Such success as can be won ~Ath
a tomato patch .will certainly afford
a vision of the great opportunitieg of
farm life, and an inspiration that will
contribute to the happiness and con
tentment of the country girl who is
SOME SPRAY INFORMATION
T. H. McHatton, Professor of Horti-
Culture, Georgia State College
of Agricuiture.
Insects that eat leaves and swallow
them are killed by arsenate of lead,
made by mixing two pounds arsenate
of lead, two pounds of quick lime and
50 gallons of water. For small appli
cations an ounce of arsenate of lead,
one ounce of quick lime and one gai
lon of water will serve the purpose.
Insects that suck their food like
plant lice, may be killed with soap and
water, using one pound soap to six
gallons of water. They may also be
destroyed by boiling one pound to
bacco dust in a gallon of water for
one hour, diluting with water to the
color of ordinary tea, and applying
with spray pump. Soap may also be
added to the tobacco fluid.
For plant diseases the most general
1y used fungicide is Bordeaux mixture,
made of oune ounce copper sulphate
mixed with two quarts of water, two
ounces of quick lime slaked and made
up of two quarts with water, the cop
per sulphate and the slaked lime mix
tures are poured together through a
fly screen which gives a gallon of the
Bordeaux mixture.
In combatting plant diseases it is
important that the same crops should
not grow on the same ground year af
ter year. A minimum amount of dam
age will result if rotation is practiced
and sometimes a disease can be en
tirely overcome in this way.
them again to the College to take the
long courses.
The Short Course for the boys is
planned to excite their interest, in
crease the information and give the
boys an inspiration and vision of
farm life that will make them love
it more and strive to be progressive
and successful farmers.
Any of the 106 boys who were pres
ent at the last short course will tell
you what a fine thing it has been for
them, how it proved both enjoyable
and profitable.
It is the popular thing to belong
to a boys’ corn club. Those who do
not join are “not in it” with the boys
who do. It is the opportunity of every
farmer boy in Georgia to join.
at the right time, the maximum of ef
ficiency of both soil and green manure
is obtained. Proper decay of vegeta
ble matter takes place and the vege
table matter in turn serves to retain
the moisture, keeping the soil mellow
and responsive to the food demand of
the cultivated plants.
Besides adding to and making avail
able the fertility of the soil, the win
ter cover crop renders no less valua
ble service by preventing leaching and
washing away of socil fertility by win
ter and early spring rains, also by
providing winter pasture so much ap
preciated by live stock.
inclined to think that her goal can
be attained only at work in the city.
The little tomato patch also teaches
its lessons of the nobility of labor,
the value of exercise in the open, the
lovable secrets of nature, the recom
pense of honest endeavor.
By all means the girls should join
the girls’ clubs of Georgia. It pays
in every possible way. The girls are
esteemed and honored for it. Fran
cis Hodson Burnett began her liter
ary career by picking blackberries to
get a start, and who would not say
that as much can be obtained from
worx in growing tomatoes or raising
poultry? It is the start at achieving
things early in life that has meant
80 much in achieving success in after
life. Why not let the girls begin with
‘the tomato patch?
PREVENTION OF
GOLIC IN HORSES
W. M. Bursen, Professor of Veterinary
Science, Georgia State Coilege
of Agriculture.
The most common forms of colic are
indigestion and impaction or clogging
of the bowel with coarse fibrous ma
terials.
The following suggestions, if careful
ly carried out, will do much toward the
avoidance of these troubles:
1. Furnish a variety of feed stuffs
all the time. L
2. Feed only perfectly sound feeds.
3. Divide the daily grain ration into
three feeds, morning, noon and night.
4. Provide roughage of good quality,
not too woody and give it to work ani
mals only at night.
5. Do not feed grain nor give g large
amount of water to animals that are
overheated or very tired. Allow them
to rest and cool a short while first.
6. Water frequently during warm
weather and always before feeding
rather than afterward.
7. Keep salt where the animals al
ways have access to it, but do not mix
it with the feed,
8. See to it that the teeth of old
animals are in good condition, for
thorough mastication of the coarse
feed stuffs.
9. During winter give a feed of wheat
bran or other laxative feed once a
week.
10. Avoid sudden changes in diet.
If it is necessary to change to some
other kind of feed make the change
