Marketing
Georgia Products
Andrew M. soule, President Georgia
State College of Agriculture.

Upon the business men of the state
rests the responsibility of establish
ing consuming markets for Georgia
products, not only at home, but abroad
also For instance, one community
last year shipped several hundred car
loads of sweet potatoes to northern
markets. The individual farmer can
not do work of this kind; the respon-
sibility for organization rests with the
business men. There are several Geor-
gia crops which are not appreciated in
northern and eastern markets, simply
because there are no large consuming
markets for these products. An organ
lied campaign in exploiting the posi-
bilities Of these crops would undoubt-
eddy react as favorably as has such
work in connection with cotton seed
and peanut oil.
Educational forces, such as the State
College of Agriculture and its County
Demonstration Agents, could promote
Investigation with greater rapidity
in Georgia and aid in the early So
luton Of the present food problem if
the business men would clear the
decks for action" with the statement,
go tell the farmers to grow the va
rious kinds of food needed and we will
find acceptable markets for all they
produce" At present the educational
character of the work they are called
upon to perform separates the college
workers in a measure from the mar
keting end Of the proposition which
is strictly business question. Unfor-
tunately business men have not been
as aggressive or interested in this
line of work as they should have
been. For this reason the attempts
of our agricultural college to pro-
mote Investigation have1often been
nullified to a considerable extent. If
the handicap is removed our agricul-
tural college workers will be able to
perform a service work of the utmost
importance in the present crisis with
assurance of immediate results. Let
us all stand together-our country de-
mands it.

Gathering Food for Bees.

A clever scheme, that appears to
have originated in Scotland, is to
gather pollen from flowers with
vacuum cleaner for use as food for
bees. The heather on wide stretches
of moors provides ample supplies, and
it is said that in some places the
young bees were mostly reared on this
pollen.

Familiar Remark.

Our second child had red hair, and
whenever we took him out someone
would remark about it. When the

Soy Bean Grazing For Hogs
John R. Fain, Prof. of Agronomy, Ga.
State College of Agriculture.


State College of Agriculture.
The principal use in the South for
soy beans will probably be as graz
ing crop for hogs. On sandy soils it
cannot compete with peanuts, but on
heavy soils the growth is luxuriant.
From 200 to 500 pounds of pork can
be secured per acre from grazing soy
beans, varying somewhat for the pro-
ductivity of the soil and the variety
of beans. The grazing period is not
long since the pods burst shortly after
ripening and there is considerable
waste unless grazed rapidly About
sixteen 100-pound hogs per acre are
required to utilize the beans to best
advantage if hogs are put on when
the beans are in the dough stage. The
beans will carry this number of hogs
from two to four weeks, depending up
on the condition of the crop.

DiVersifiCatiOn OF
Crops VS.. System
Andrew NJ. souIe, President Georgia
State College Of AaricuIture.

Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College of Agriculture
A system, like habit, may or may
not be a desirable feature. Often it
may stand in the way of distinct adj
vancement No one has any argument
against diversification of crops, and
especially in the present crisis, yet the
movement progresses slowly. Just why
is this? Briefly:
l. On account of the cotton ware
house system which permits of the
handling of one crop only.
2. On account of the restricted
credit which now exists combining the
farmers effort largely to the produc-
ton of one crop,
8. On account of the small capital
possessed by the average farmer which
effectually prevents his branching out
into new fields.
A. On account Of the large percen-
tage of tenant farmers who do not
think for themselves and who are
willing to travel in the old rut just
so long as they make a living.
5. On account of the failure to han
die diversified crops probably which
has been the experience of hundreds
of growers, because of the fact that
our market facilities are not properly
J organized.
1t is imperative that all of our peo-
pie work together in the solution of
this problem; the farmers must have
the cooperation of the business men.

COAL FOR CANADA.
Two Billion Tons of Bituminous and 7oo,.
900 of Anthracite.

| Washington, Oct. 25.--Under definite
allotment of American coal for Canada
announced yesterday by the fuel admin
Listration, about 1000, 900 tons of bitumi
nous and 100000 tons of anthracite will
be permitted to move across the Cana.
dian border during the next two months
The allotment, which will materially
reduce the volumes of exports, was ar
ranged In consultation with the Cana
dian authorities and after a review of
statistics showing the Dominion's fuel
consumption during the past year and
the future needs of its industries and do
mestic consumers.
1t was announced that Administrator
Garfield had insisted that Canada be
treated as we'll as the union in the mat
ter of coal, but no better, and that the
Canadian government recognized that the
United States was warranted in taking
the step to protect the interests of its
consumers.
Figures now available" says the ad-
ministration statement, reveal the fact
that during the first nine months of this
year coal has been shipped into Canada
in much larger quantities than in for
mer years so that the ailotments now be-
ing made for the different provinces of
Canada, will involve limitation not
only of the amount to be exported by
individual shippers, but of the aggregate
tonnage going into Canada during the
balance of the winter"
