COLT SHOW AT
C0CKRELL'S BARN
FRANK BRYANT WINS FIRST FOR
BEST MULE COLT AND THE
GRAND PRIZE OF $1,000.

The farm of Granville Cockrell, near
Culleoka, was the scene of a lively
colt show Saturday. There were
many spectators and some splendid
colts shown. Mr.. Cockrell announced
in his stations advertisements in the
spring of 1915 that he would give
premiums for the best colts by his
stallion General Lee and jacks, ex-
hibited at his stables Saturday, Au-
gust rs, 1917. This brought many
breeders to his stables during the
spring of 1916, and many good colts
was the results. On last Saturday
the show took place, which resulted
as follows:
For the best mule colt by Ham Pat.
terson, 5000, won by Frant Bryant;
second prize, $500, won by w. M.
Mitchell.
For the best colt by General Lee,
premium $1,000. won by Earl Denton,
with beautiful filly colt
For the best colt by Tom Rye, a
young jack owned by Mr.. Cockrell,
first premium, $500, won by H. H.
Hight.
These four colts were put into the
ring for the grand prize, $1,000 in
gold. After hard contest the judges
awarded the prize to Frank Bryant,
on his horse MULE colt. This colt is
pronounced to be one of the best look
ing animals ever seen in that section
of the county.

Special to The Herald.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 81
Pigs which are six months old at this
time may profitably be fattened now
in the South and sold on the early
fall market, says the United States
Department of Agriculture. BY the
use of several of the summer forage
crops the pigs can be grown cheaply
and come to the fattening period
growthy, healthy shoats, ready to
make rapid and economical gains upon
rich foods.
For fattening at this early season
use should be made of the grain-pas
ture crops, soy beans, and cowpeas
and of early sown sweet potatoes.
These crops will fatten hogs quickly
and require only a small amount of
grain to give good results.
On fairly rich soil, soy beans will
produce more feed than the other
forages. Each acre will afford pas
ture for ten $50 pound shoats for six
to seven weeks. In order to insure
against the production of an inferior
soft pork, one-third corn ration
should be fed in connection with the
soy-bean pasture, especially during
the latter part of the fattering period,
and when such system is followed
each acre of soy beans will produce
from four to seven hundred pounds of
pork. ,'
Cowpeas succeed better on poor
soils than do soy beans, but their
value as a pork producing crop is
much less. Fully twice as much
grain must be fed with cowpea pas
ture as was recommended in the case
of soy beans in order to obtain equally
rapid and heavy grains. When 1-3
arain ration is fsd in connection with
cowpeas forage one acre will carry
eight $50 pound shoats from four to
Eve weeks, and the pork producing
power will be correspondence re-
duced under that estimated for SOY
beans.
The southern farmer is familiar
with the culture of sweet potatoes.
They may be used to very good ad-
vantage in the production of pork.
The pigs dc their own harvesting, and
when high protein supplement such

ration. one acre will produce from

A Big Wheat Crop Will Pay Ytu
BY Rranyon Knapp County Life Nashville Tenn

All the civilized countries of the
world may be called wheat-eating ma
tions. Wheat has been a staple food
for hundreds and even thousands of
years and has become so firmly fixed
in the diet of the world that it cannot
live without a wheat ration. 1t is so
important that many profound think
ers and statesmen say that the coun-
ty with the best wheat diet will win
the war. The allies have become
alarmed at the wheat situation and
are trying in every possible way to
stimulate production and conserva.
ton. Last year England increased
her wheat production over previous
years by six per cent. America had
: smaller rate of increase, and now
he demand is greater than ever be-
fore. Wheat growers cannot loose by
growing big crop of wheat, for the
new Federal Food Bill guarantees
minimum price of two dollars per
bushel. .............
Wheat Soils-Wheat is more sensi-
tive to it's surroundings than other
grains and requires the fertility Of
The soil to be in a more available con-
Iition than corn or oats. If green
manure crop or barnyafd manure is
used it should be turned under long
enough before planting the wheat to
allow for thoroughly decomposition to
get the best effects.
Early Observation-Disclosures show
that the yield is made greater where
the ground has been thoroughly pre-
pared at least month before sowing
the wheat. If this can be done deep
blowing is best; but if planting must
lirectly follow the first blowing it
should not be so deep. Wheat re-

qulres a firm compact seed bed and
this cannot be had unless the ground
is plowed early so as to allow for set
Ting before the grain is planted -,
: FertiIzers-One of the most COM
mon and best fertilizers for wheat is
a 3-8-5 grade. This is go nitrogen,
SO phosphoric acid and so potash.
In many places only the phosphoric
acid is used at the rate of 100 to 800
pounds per acre. Lime is good.
Time to Sow-Wheat should be
sown long enough before the first
freeze to allow it to become firmly
rooted. This is usually six weeks be-
fore freezing. If sown too early it is
more liable to winter kill and also to
be attacked by the Hessian fly.
Rate of Sowing-Do not be afraid
to use enough seed, even though the
price be high On heavy clay soils
where wheat does not tiller freely it
is best to SOW to pecks per acre.
1t is less liable to winter kill when
drilled.
Seed Wheat-It seems to be a COM
mon belief that a change in seed
gives better yield. Experiment sta
tist:cs show the reverse to be true.
Out of 20 trials home grown seed
gave 2.5 larger yield per acre.
Farmers opportunity-Never be-
fore in the history of our country and
possibly in the history of the world
has the famer had such an opportun.
ity of rendering patriotic service and
at the same time honorably increas
ing his personal fortune. Sow all the
wheat possible and you will get fancy
prices for it, since the nation is de-
manding that we must have one bill
lion bushels for next year.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 81
The fact that in some sections there

others there is surplus makes it
possible for the Committee on Seed
Stocks of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture to help in the
distribution of these SURPRISES. The
committee wishes therefore, to locate
all available stocks of good seed of
agricultural crops, especially wheat,
oats, rye, crimson clover Tin the hull
or hulled), and hairy vetch. The COM
mittee will be glad if anyone, farmer
or dealer, will send information in
regard to the quantities and prices of
seed of the above sorts which he can
offer for sale f. o. b. his shipping
point, bags extra or included as the
case may be. The information should
give in each case the name of the va
riety especially in the case of grain
crops), condition of the seed as to
purity, year grown, and the price.
The committee will then undertake to
get such information into the hands
of those who want the seed The com.

receive wide circulation and an imme-
date response, as it is now time to
get seed in the hands of the planters
