Georgia is throwing away enough feed
to keep million head of cattle
1t is a well-known fact that while

stalk standing to support the ear OF
corn. through the northern and west

stalk down. shock 1t up and then to
shred 1t for cattle feed after the corn

Governor Brown Is of the opinion
that the method now in vogue in this
state of pulling fodder is an exceed
ingly wasteful one and he would well
come the introduction of shredding
machines as saving to farmers of
millions of dollars annually.

Marshfield, ORE. o. Stemmler OF
Myrtle Point, has demonstrated that
tea can be grown successfully In Coos

where the climate Is milder than on

grown fine crops of tea.

to cure the leaves and make fine

He says that the only reason why
tea cannot become commercial crop

Bodger-he is called Ba1efuI Bodger

On the voyage over he kept the

the passengers and crew to conclude
that he was excessively seasick.
Now the keepers of the zoo know to
their cost that those sounds are Bod
gers natural tones. AS he has begun
