CBy CHARLES A. WHITTLE, Georgia
State College Of Agriculture)
A campaign In beef-cattle raising in
Georgia is being waged from the col
lege of agriculture, with particular ref
erence to helping the farmer who has
only few head of cattle to feed and
who has not yet reached the point of
building a sllo.
In the spring directions were given
for the planting Of the kinds of crops
that could be grown most economically
and be marketed most profitably in
feeding cattle. At the present time the
important phase of the work is in get
ting the cattle on feed in proper shape.
To this end specific information has
been put in the hands of every feeder
In the state. The schedule of feeds
and feeding embraces cottonseed meal,
sorghum, oat straw or corn slower, cot
tonseed hulls, cOwpea hay and corn.
The period covered by the schedule
Is from November 1 to January 20.
The rations recommended are to be
broken into two feeds, one for morning
and the other for evening.
The schedule for cottonseed meal
recommended is as follows: November
10, pound; November 6-10, pounds /;
November 11-20, 3 pounds; November
21-30, A pounds; December lilo, 8

BUILD UP TIRED LAND
Grasses, CornstaIks and Other
Growth Add Humus.
Nothing ls to Be Gained by Burning
MaterlaIs-Flre Will Destroy Seed
of True clovers-Also Has
tens Erosion.

Help nature build up the fields that
have worked too hard and have been
turned out to rest. If grasses, corn
stalks, leaves and other organic ma
terials are left on the land, they will
decay and add humus to the soil.
Where these materials are burned Off,
however, all the organic substances are
given Off in the form of gases, and only
the mineral matter is left, In the ash.
This is blown about by the wind and
dissolved and washed away by the
rains.
The improvement to the land, II all
grasses and other growth were allowed
to rot instead of being burned, would
be worth millions of dollars to every
southern state.
The destruction Of useful plants is
another harmful result Of burning off
the fields, and DIR. II. B. Brown of the
Mississippi A. and NJ. college cautions
against this. Fire will totally destroy
the seed of all the true clovers, which
are Invaluable as soil builders. Many
of the most valuable grasses can be
killed by burning; even Bermuda will
die If burned repeatedly. Perhaps the
greatest harm is done in the woods by
the killing out Of seeds as they drop
from the trees, and by killing the young
trees, thus preventing the reproduc-
ton of forests.
Besides the damage done by fires, In
the removal OF plant food and killing
out Of vegetation, they greatly hasten
erosion. On the other hand the corn
stalks and grasses In the fields, and
the sage grasses In WORKOUT soils pre-
vent the rains washing out guilles and
help to hold the water as 1t soaks into
the ground.

PRUNING WELL EACH WINTER
Hand-Plcking of Fruit In Summer Can
Be Made Unneeessary-opera-
ton Stimulates Trees.

Many letters are coming to the hor-
ticultural workers at Clemson college
from people who ask whether it is
better to prune peach trees to thin the
fruit, or to give the trees but a light
pruning at this season and thin the
fruit by Manipulating next summer.
They are advised that in every in
stance it will be found better to give
the trees good pruning each winter.
This will not only do away with the
necessity for Manipulating during sum-
mer, but it will also stimulate the trees
and cause them to put on a better crop
of fruit buds for the next season.
Healthy peach trees always put on
more fruit buds than they can support,
provided they all set fruit. There is
no better way of thinning these trees
than by correct winter pruning. More
over, there is no little labor attached
to hand-pruning in summer and a man
saves much by avoiding the necessity
Of 1t except In the few cases where It
is absolutely necessary.-Clemson Col.

SWEET CLOVER FOR PASTURE
Some Farmers Regard Plant as Weed
and Practically WorthIess-ln-
proves Tllth of Soil.

The value Of sweet clover as pas
ture or hay crop Is much disputed.
Some farmers regard 1t as practically
worthless and consider it a weed,
while others apparently have had good
success with feeding it. Its foliage has
bitter taste due to the cumarin 1t
contains and its stems have a tenden-
cy to become woody as they mature.
If not allowed to become too rank be-
fore pasturing. or IL cut for hay before
the first bloom buds appear, these two
Objectionable features may be avoided
to a considerable extent and very good
feed obtained.
Since it is q biennial, sweet clover
may take the place Of red clover in the
rotation on those lands where the lat
ter does not thrive well, but on the
best lands 1t cannot compete with eth
er red clover or alfalfa for hay.
1t is efficient as soil renovator, by
reason of the large amount Of nitro
gen 1t is able to take from the air as
well as the humus added to the soil
when 1t is turned under or from the
decay of roots when the crop is har
vested.

pounds; December 11-20, 5h pounds ;
December 21-30, 6 pounds; December
81 to January 9, 6h pounds; January
20-29, 71A pounds.
But little corn enters into the ration.
The schedule calls for beginning with
corn in the feed December at the rate
of pounds until December 81, when 1t
is increased to pounds and continued
during the remainder of the feeding
period.
Sorghum hay Is scheduled to be fed
at the rate of 20 pounds per day from
November l to November 80. 1t is then
decreased to Is pounds until Deem
Der 80, and is further decreased to 10
pounds for the remainder Of the period.
Dat straw or corn slower is fed at
the rate of 10 pounds from November
l to December /, when it is reduced
to ~ pounds until January 1, when
it is further reduced to 5 pounds for
the remainder of the period.
Cowpea hay is not fed until Deem
Der l, when 1t is introduced at 8
pounds per day, at which figure it
remains until December 30, when @
pounds are required for the remainder
of the period.
Cottonseed hulls are fed at the rate
Of 3 pounds per day from the begin
ming to the end of the feeding period.

ADDITIONAL SPACE FOR HAY
Temporary Shelter May Be Obtained
by Placing Prepared Roofing
Materials on Poles.

When the rains make hay harvest
so unfavorable, as was the case in 1915,
1t is important to provide suitable
roofs under which the hay may be
placed as rapidly as 1t can be cured
sufficiently. While the substantial barn
is always first to receive consideration
1t frequently happens that more or less
additional storage is desirable.
In many cases this additional space
for hay may be provided at small ex.
pense by planting telegraph poles
suitable distances apart, connecting
these with plates made of plank and
on these plates placing roof materials.
Such a structure may be built in short
order and at small expense. Farm
laborers may even do the building.
If more durable and larger struc'
ture Is desirable there is nothing su.
perior to the plank frame hay bar
racks.

MOST PROFITABLE FARM JOB
Many Farmers Cultivate Alfalfs
After Every cuttino-Profit Re-
turned In Following Crops.

One Of the most profitable jobs on
the farm is cultivating the alfalfa
fields. A good many farmers cultivate
after every cutting, end find that It
pays big dividends In the following
crops. Cultivation roots out the weeds
and grass, loosens up the ground, and
the alfalfa responds by making an In
creased growth.
The best implement for cultivatlng
alfalfa is the spring-tooth harrow. 1t
tears out the weeds and loosens the
soil without injuring the alfalfa
crowns. The disk harrow Is fairly
good tool for alfalfa cultivation, but
there will be more or less injury to
the crowns when using Ii.
Whatever tool you use. cultivate the
alfalfa. 1t is a crop that will pay
literally for all the labor spent upon 1t.

STORAGE HOUSE FOR ONIONS
Building Must Be Dry and Construct.
ed to Permit Fairly Even Tenn
perature and Ventilation.

A large part of our onion crop In
not marketed Immediately after har-
vest, but is stored and disposed of
gradually during the winter. Storage
houses are Of different types, from a
single shed in which fire is kept to
prevent freezing In extreme weather
to well constructed dugouts which
keep an almost constant temperature
during the storage period. A good stcr-
age house for onions must be dry and
so constructed that fairly uniform
temperature may be maintained. Good
ventilation, freedom from moisture
and uniformity of temperature are
all important. Onions will stand con-
siderable frost without injury and may
be kept well even IL frozen.

TEST CRIMSON CLOVER SEED
Sample Of Lots on Market Show About

Against Poor Stand.

Samples Of lots of crimson clover
seed now on the market tested recent
ly. usually have contained about one
third Of dead seed, and in many sam
Piles more than two-thlrds OF the seed
was dead. 1t is important, therefore,
that farmers know the quality of the
crimson clover seed they intend to sow.
Every lot Of seed should be tested
for termination. and then seeded heav-
lily enough to insure getting a stand.
II the present supply Of seed of low
termination is sowed without testing,
and at usual rate Of seeding poor
stands and failures will follow even
under favorable weather conditions.

GOOD WAY TO MEASURE HAY
Four Hundred Cubic Feet Has Been
Found to Be Fair Estimate for
Ton--Weiuht VIII Vary.

Sometimes hay Is sold in the NOW
or the stack. When this is done 1t is
necessary to estimate II.
II has been found that 400 cubic
feet OF hay will be a fair estimate for
a ton. The actual weight Of 400 cubic
feet of hay. Of course, win vary, as win
the kind of hay. time of cutting, posi-
ton Of the NOW, etc. But 1t will be
fair estimate to both buyer and sell
err to consider 400 cubic feet ton.
When you are making an estimate
multiply together the length, breadth
and height of the NOW or stack in feet
and divide the product by 400. The
Quotient will be the number Of tons.

PREPARE SOIL FOR LEGUMES
Trouble Experienced In Getting Stand
Of Alfalfa, Glover, Peas, Etc.,
on New Land.

Legume crops Glover, alfalfa, peas,
etc.) are among the most valuable Of
farm crops. Trouble is experienced
at times, however, In growing them in.
new agricultural districts or regions
where legumes have not been grown
before. This difficulty ofttimes is due
to the absence of the necessary tu-
bercle bacteria from the soil in Ques-
tion. The practice should be followed,
therefore, of inoculating the soil or
seed when any of these crops are
grown upon ground which has never
grown the crop before.
This incubation may be made by
the use Of soil from a field In which
the legume has grown. This soil
should be obtained from the old le-
gume field and distributed over the
field to be sown in legumes at the
rate Of approximately 300 pounds per
acre, and at once narrowed or disked,
in. This operation should take place
during the morning or evening, or upon
a cloudy day.
