Time To Start DaiIying
Professors Pike and Howell, Depart
ment Of Dalryina, Georgia State
College Of Agriculture

A review of the history of farming
in every country SHOWS that the early
settlers followed the lines Of least
resistance. They robbed the land by
continual cropping and soon found
that their soil was depleted Of fer
tility. The result was that a change
in their system of farming became
necessary and they turned to the dairy
industry as being the most logical
change. The same condition applies
to Georgia. She is doubtless chang
ing her system Of farming and dairy
ing is being welcomed Why?
/. Because the soil fertility is CON
served and increased. Selling cotton
or grain is selling fertility and burn
ing out humus. A ton of cotton seed
meal is worth, at present prices q
nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash,
about 800, which is above the average
selling price. A ton of 3utter. at soc
pound is worth 5000, and contains
Sac worth Of fertility. Why not feed
the meal and sell the butter? Each
COW kept saves $50 on the years fer
tilizer bill
Q. Dairying is adapted to high price
land. Land on the Isle Of Jersey, the
annual rental of which is about 500
an acre. is used for keeping Jersey
COWS. Land in Holland worth $1,000
to $4,000 an acre, is used almost ex-
clusively for dairying. If Germany
and Holland with their high priced
land can buy our cotton seed cake,
ship it across the Atlantic, feed it to
COWS and send the butter back to us
at a profit; why can't we make money
with home grown feed and a local mar
ket? We can, and we are going to
do it.
8. The returns are constant and GER
tain. The dairyman's check comes Of
ten. He doesn't have to mortgage
his crop before it is made. The dai
nv man can systematic his operations
He can tell what each COW is doing
There need not be any guess work
Look about you today. The greater
profits to be derived from this type o.
farming is seen in the general pros
perity of the dairyman in comparison
with his neighbors who still persist
in following the one crop system.

How Foot and Mouth Disease
May Effect Georgia
Or. w. M. 5urson, Professor Of Neter-
mary Science, Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture

BY reason of the existence of the
foot and mouth disease in a great sec.
ton of the United States and the con-
sequent quarantine on cattle, feed and
other shipments, Georgia win suffer
in two ways in particular. Those who
would buy pure bred live stock, cattle
or horses for starting into live stock
business in lieu of continuing the
growing Of Improbable cotton, are
barred by the quarantine from get
ting into the best markets Also.
those who have to buy feed stuff will
find that the embargo placed upon
hay from foot and mouth territory
will have affected the price II the
Georgia farmer has hay to sell, Of
course, the hay quarantine in the.
north and west will serve him we'll
1T is important that the Georgia
farmer Should keep a look out for
symptoms Of the disease. among live
stock. 1t is the most highly conta
gious Of all diseases and apparently
is caused by an organism too small
for the highest power microscope to
detect. 1t attacks split-hoof animals
and is transmissible to human be-
ings.
The disease is characterized by
blisters in mouth, nostrils, between
the claws, around dew claws and on
udder and teats Of cows. The bis
tiers burst and leave raw sores pre-
venting cattle from eating rough feed.
They keep their mouths closed and oc-
casionally smack the lips and drivel
saliva. Farmers should not confuse
foot and mouth disease with COW pox
which also produces blisters, nor foul
moth which affects the legs with
lameness, nor with Mycotic Stomatitis,
disease caused by fungus in pas
lures affecting cattle more like foot
and mouth disease than any other
trouble.
If in doubt, call veterinarian and
let him make the diagnosis.
More than O,4OO income was re-
ceived from the 343 acres and live
stock of the College farm during the
past year. The dairy was the best
revenue producer. OF course the farm

paying handsomely Six years ago

To combat it, rotation Of crops
should be practiced and the seed used
should be treated as follows: Put one
pint Of 40 per cent formalin into
from 35 to 40 gallons Of water. Put
the seed into this solution before they
are cut and let them remain for about
three hours. Remove, dry and cut intc
