GEORGIA Fire Destructive To Grazing Interests Various studies by experts of the United States Department of Agri culture and of tho College of Agricul ture prove beyond doubt the fact that the annual burning of the range is very detrimental to the grazing inter ests. Surveyed areas, a part of which were burned over annually, showed markedly the effect of lire. The burn ed-over areas supported a smaller amount of coarse, worthless forage than did the unburned areas. In addi tion, the unburned areas showed a gradual increase in the variety and kind of valuable forage plants. The stock grazing on the two classes of areas were weighed each year, show ing an advantage of several pounds per head In favor of the unburned range. Feeding the Milk Cow Milton P. Jarnlgan, Prof, of Animal Husb., Gk. State Col. of Agriculture. Under-feeding is responsible for much of the financial loss incurred by dairymen. It must be-remembered that the cow uses at least half the full feed for maintaining the body. She should be given one pound of con centrates for each 3 to 5 pounds of milk produced; furthermore, the con centrated part of the ration should be high in protein. In whatever form roughage may be given, the cow’s ap petite should be the measure of the amount allowed. Silage can be pro duced very cheaply in the South and every farm with more than ten head of milk cows should have one. Reducing the 801 l Weevil Damage J. G. Oliver, Field Agent In Weevil Control. Fields In which the stalks were de stroyed now show a marked differ ence from those where tho stalks stood all winter. The destruction of stalks in the early fall resulted in the death of the weevils which would have win tered over besides destroying large quantities of eggs. No weevils wero found up to the first of this month on the fields where the stalks had been destroyed, while on other fields the weevils were plentiful. Naturally the weevil winters over where the cold weather catches him and, in the spring, attacks the nearest cotton field. If there were a concentrated action on the part of all farmers in the de struction of stalks, the control of the weevil would be a simple matter.
