Georgia Roughage For State Demands
Pres Andrew NJ sou Georgia State College of Agriculture

Turning from a cotton regime to
growing at least a home supply of
roughage, what can the average Geor-
gia farmer produce easiest? Among
the crops that can be successfully
grown for hay are oats and vetch,
wheat and vetch, rye, vetch and Grim
son clover, crimson clover singly, cow
peas, soy beans, COW peas with sor-
ghum or millet, sorghum sown broad
cast and thickly, and corn. To grow
grasses, alfalfa and other hay crops
is more difficult and should be enter
ed into gradually.
Every farmer in Georgia can grow
enough Of one or more of the COM
binations mentioned to supply his
home demands and have some to sell
to the live stock owner in the city
and town. Every crop mentioned pro.
duces heavily and comparatively little
acreage will be needed to meet all
of Georgia's demands for roughage.
Oats and vetch afford a combination
equal if not superior to any other crop
grown for hay during the winter sea
son. Cow peas alone but preferably
COW peas sown with millet produce
a luxuriant pasture as summer

Georgia last year, which means that
only about ten per cent of the mares
in Georgia were bred.
Counting both horses and mules,
there is in Georgia now 434,0OO head
Of work stock. That being the re-
quirement and counting that 1t is nee
essary to repurchase about every ten
or eleven years, it is apparent that
the mares already in Georgia could
foal enough animals to meet the de-
mand. Therefore Georgia already has
the foundation for breeding its own
horse demand. 1t is capable of stop
ping the $12,000,000 annual outgo from
the state for work stock, if it will
only breed the mares it has on hand.
What then is necessary to at once
increase the colt production in Geor-
gia ten times what it is and thus meet
the states demands? The purchase
of few pure bred or high class sires,
their distribution over the state at ad-
vantageous points. Then with an OPP
portunity at hand to breed, no owner
of a mare ought to be so foolish
as not to make use Of it.

School Riddle
Is Fire Hero

ATLANTA, Ca, March lit was
just in the middle of the days session
that the 400 pupils of the Pryor street
public school heard the fire alarm
signal in the building ring out, but
they, were not worried a bit. They
were used to these fire drills, which
interrupt studies, just any old time,
so they picked up their books and
satchels, fell into line, and marched
out with heads up and shoulders back
while the photograph doomed out
"Tipperaray"
1t wasn't until they reached the
street that the children saw the fire
companies dashing into the basement,
where they worked for an hour to put
out blaze. One of the smallest boys
in school had discovered the fire, but
he had not raised panic He had just
hurried upstairs, whispered to the
principal and fallen into line with
the others.

Georgia Mares Could
Raise Georgia Work Stock
Milton p. Jarnagin, Professor OF Ami
NAL Husbandry, Georgia State
College OF Agriculture

According to statistics which have
just been issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture, there were
1851 900 horses in Georgia at the be,
ginning of the present year. 1t is
reasonable to figure that one-half of
these are females. 1t is also within
the bounds of reason to figure that
these mares are capable of 60 per
cent breeding record.
If the mares already in Georgia
were bred, it would be possible to
raise annually 1880 colts. AS a
matter of fact the government sta
tistics referred to show that there
were only about 5000 colts raised in

growth. Sorghum alone or in com
bination with COW peas, provide a
splendid summer hay crop. When
sown alone it should be sown thickly
so that the stalk will be as small
as possible.
When corn is gathered at the right
time and shredded it forms rough
age nearly equal to timothy in feeding
value. This valuable feeding mate
rial is very generally allowed to 60
to waste in the South.
OF course many legumes do well In
Georgia, but legume hay fed with
out association with other roughage
makes too rich a protein food. and
live stock do not do so well on 1t.
Georgia need not be dependent upon
the west for hay. 1t can and should
grow its own roughage. Many times
more animals can be supported on
homegrown feeds than are now be-
ing raised. The more animals fed
the more fertile the acres will be and
the more permanently successful will
be the agriculture Of the state.
This is the year to begin to grow
all the feed for the animals on the
farm, and the time to grow vastly
more of human food than has ever
been grown in Georgia.
