Many thousands Of acres Of Georgia
now considered worthless are capa-
bic Of supporting herds Of beef or dai.
.ry cattle. At the College farm could
be seen during the summer and fail,
q herd of Hereford COWS and calves
feeding on Bermuda grass and Jap
anese clover pasture growing on rough,
quilted land long since abandoned for
agricultural purposes. No other food
was provided during the grazing sea-
son than was obtained from this pas
ture. The herd is being handled un-
der range conditions with calves run
ming with their mothers from birth.
Those who saw these cattle during
the summer found them in fine condi-
ton with fine prospects for more than
a carload Of feeders, or beef cattle,
ready to be fattened for the. next
years market. A carload was taken
from the herd for that purpose this
year. They were also kept on Ber-
muda and japanese clover pasture and
put on flesh during the summer and
fan at a cost of not more than three
cents per pound When topped off
for the market, they win make prime
