T0I..REGULATE THE

IN FLORIDA NOW
BraXton Beacham Says That
This State is to Have I'M

Orlando, Nov. 20.-Florida is to
have immediate regulations of food
prices, and immediate application of
the laws enacted by congress to regu-
late distribution and control of food
products, according to Food Admins
traitor BraXton Beacham, who has Just
returned from Washington where he
was in conference with Food Director
Herbert c. Hoover. The conference
was called by Mr.. Hoover for the spe-
cial purpose of going over conditions
pertaining to this and other states of
the South, and Mr.. Beacham was call
ed upon to explain peculiar conditions
of this state and the requirements for
getting the best results in the future
work of the food administration.
Describing in brief way the work
that is to be taken up in Florida, Mr..
i}eacham points out that the primary
object of food regulation is to permit

AN EXCELLENT TYPE OF STORAGE HOUSE FOR POTATOES.

cessful in keeping the potatoes, hav-
ing been tried both in an experiment
tai and practical way, at the Pender
branch station. At this station it
was found that the loss in the houses
was practically nothing, while a third
of the roots were lost when placed in
the oId.stgIe banks. In some cases the
whole bank has been a total loss, or
20 per cent of the potatoes injured
from the standpoint of marketable
stock.
Many large growers over the State
have already manifested much inter
est in these HOUSES, many having
built new houses or remodeled their
old ones.
The Division Of Horticulture is sup
plying, upon application, plans for
building the houses, and will give
advice in the erection and operation Of
them. It is estimated by Mr.. R. G..
Hill Of the Horticultural Division that
the building Of houses advocated by
his division will mean a saving to the
farmers or the community, and VIII
also mean that raeded food will be
saved to supply the market that now
cannot be supplied during every year

Though North Carolina produces a
good crop of sweet potatoes each year,
a conservative estimate ~places.the loss
due to poor storage facilities at so per
cent Of this crop. Also, through lack
Of storage facilities prices for pota-
toes are lowered at digging time by
the dumping of more potatoes than
the market can care for. This pro-
duces a shortage from the latter part
OF March until the last of July when
the early crop begins to make its ap-
pearance. For this reason the Divi-
sion of Horticulture in cooperation
, with the National Department of Agri-
culture is now conducting a campaign

Waste, or Damaged Peanuts,
Is Valuable AS Hog Feed.

A fall seldom passes without bring
ing with it some rainy weather just
wnen peanuts are il shock and in
condition to be dragged. Some years
the loss of peanuts is exceedingly
heavy. Other years it is almost moth
ing. When farmers do suffer losses
of this kind it is we'll to know that
damaged peanuts are valuable for
hogs and that they may be substi-
tuted for vast amounts of corn and
other concentrates.
In fact, damaged peanuts are so
valuable that they should be thought
of as being in a class with wheat
shorts, wheat bran, peanut meal, and
soybean meal rather than as damaged
goods. 1t my not be so this year, but
it has often happened that damaged
peanuts realized more rs a result of
being fed to hogs than they would
have brought had they remained SOW
ed and been sold as marketable nuts.
This test was made upon the Edge
combe Branch Station Farm right in
the center of the peanut-growing Sec
ton. One lot Of pigs was placed in
a small pen and given a ration made
up of two-thirds corn plus one-third
wheat shorts. A second lot of similar
pigs was fed the same amount of corn
but damaged peanuts were substituted
for the wheat shorts. The pigs in the
first lot. where corn and shorts were
fed, gained, during the whole feeding
period of 149 days z of a pound
daily, while those in the lot where
damaged peanuts were substituted for
the wheat shorts gained 8 of a pound
daily. The peanuts proved to be SUI
perior, too, to the wheat. shorts in
economy of gains. When shorts were
employed 7.3 bushels of corn plus 2O4
pounds of shorts were required to
produce one hundred pounds Of in
crease in weight; when damaged pea
nuts were fed only 5 bushels of corn
plus al pounds of peanuts were re
qufred to produce an equal increase
in weight. Pound for pound the dam,
aged peanuts proved to be far SUI
perior to wheat shorts. In fact, these

RATION FOR WORK ANIMALS.
Realizing some years ago that the
time had come when farmers who
raise live stock and employ work
stock must give some heed to the
amount and kind Of grain consumed
by them the State Agricultural Exper.

tigational work upon the Iredell, the

Station Farms to determine just the

of a work animal. Some of the work
animals upon these farms are fed
upon a ration made up of corn and
hays. Their team mates are fed ex-
actly the same feed except that the
corn is reduced some and cottonseed
meal substituted.
This piece of investigation is not
nearly completed; in fact, it is only
really begun, but still some valuable
and definite facts have come to the
surface. It has been found, for in
stance, that no little amount of money
is being saved by the introduction of
cottonseed meal into the ration. When
corn is valued at $500 a bushel, oats
at 81 cents a bushel and cottonseed
meal at $4,000 a ton the yearly ex-
pense of the feed bill of each wofk
animal upon the Iredell Branch Sta
ton Farm was reduced 1888 as a re-
suit of using even extremely small
amounts of cottonseed meal in con-
junction with corn and oats,
When the amounts of cottonseed are
increased and the amounts of corn
correspondingly decreased-and this
is to be done soon-the annual saving
will be still greater. AL of the mules
are in good health and have practical
lily maintained constant weights. 1t is
noticeable each spring, however, that
the animals which have the small al
lowance of cottonseed meal "shed Of"
