Rowell Rooney, who enlisted in the
aviation corps of the army several
days ago, received a telegram this
to report at once at Fort
Myers, Va. The messake came too
late for him to get away on one of
the morning trains and he will leave
tonight. When he enlisted at Wash
ington last week he was told that he
would be notified when he was wanted
so he came home, reaching here Sun
day. He thought that he would be
able to remain several days at least, /
so the message calling him at once
came as surrise.-Moultrie Observer.
1t has been brought to the atten
ton CT the Georgia State Bureau of
Markets that some mills in Alabama |
have gone into the contry and made |
contracts for future SUPPLIES of velvet |
beans at prices entirely too low con-
the food value of velvet bean |
meal. In order to arrive at some idea
of a fair valuation of this product, |
The Bureau has made carefl investi |
cation and finds that the actual food |
value of pure velvet bean meal is |
greater than that of cotton seed meal. |
This has no reference to it's value as |
as fertilizer. This test as 20 food |
value shows that in calculatin the |
protein, carbohydrate and fat con- |
tents the velvet bean meal yields $50, |
$40 calorics to the 100 pounds |
" hereas, Z per cent cotton seed meal |
only yields 140,660 calories to the
100 pounds. 1t is further shown that
velvet bean meal made from the bean |
and thepod mixed yields 1892 cal !
orites to the 100 pounds. This is
practically The same as 7 per cent
cotton seed meal, which is selling
right around $4,000 per ton. 1t must
also be borne in mind that the manu-
featuring expense on velvet bean
neal is no where near as much as
hat on cotton seed meal
The farmers of the state should
igure over this carefully before en-
aring into future contracts for sup
plying velvet beans.
