What Georgia Can
And Should Do
Andrew M. souIe, President Georgia
State College Of Agriculture.

Georgia produced last year about
S160, 900 100000 worth of food products
including the sale and slaughter OF
animals raised on her farms. This
sum can be increased by $100,000,O00
during the present year To do this
corn should be planted on the usual
basis, and in addition on the areas
on which winter oats were destroyed
by the February freeze. If this were
done we should be able TO raise APP
proXimately 1GO000,000 bushels oil
corn. We can certainly double the
area in sweet and Irish potatoes. The
hay CROPS of Georgia can easily be
quadrupled since CoWpeas, soy BEANS,
velvet beans, corn, sorghum, katilr
corn, Sudan grass, millet and various
other crops may be used for this pur-
pose The planting Of these hay crops
may be done any time in the next SIN
ty days. Establishing a hay crop
is chiefly a matter of preparing the
land and setting aside sufficient
area to grow the necessary tonnage.
If we do not provide the forage need.
ed for our live stock they will lose
their efficiency, as the chances are we
will not be able TO obtain food OF tins
character from the west next fall on
account of railroad congestion.
Every farmer should make his plans
now TO grow at least wheat for ten
persons. This would be seventy
bushels. If this were done Georgia
would supply herself with all the
wheat needed in 1918. Wheat may be
planted with advantage in cotton land
after hay crops have been gathered,
Our deficiency in wheat may be over
come somewhat by planting upland
rice. and all the truck which can pos
sibly be needed by our towns and CT
les can be easily produced Ii the laf-
mer, the vacant city lot owner ana the
gardener systematic their efforts.

ear can lie made from it. While we
can not Immediately increase the num-
Der OF COWS and beef cattle, no breed
ing animal should be slaughtered and
all calves should lie fed Out as rapid
w as possible. There is no reason III
The world why We should not double
the number of hogs maintained on
the farms in the northern part OF the
state. If steps in the right direction
are taken promptly, we can supply
ourselves with all the meat needed
for local consumption. The Importance
of increasing the corn crop can not
be stressed too strongly as # sup
plies the chief grain ration for our
work stock and in an emergency may
be made 10 take The place of wheat
in the human dietary. There is no
reason why we should not double the
output of our poultry yards
Vigorous action along the lines in
dictated win alone save us from the
disastrous situation which now con
fronts us.

Some Facts
Concerning Hog Cholera
Dr.. w. M. Rurson, Professor of Veter-
mary Med. State Col. of Agriculture.

| mary wed, state Noi' % NY 'Eu''o'S'
Hog cholera is an infectious disease.
1t is caused by germs. These germs
are present in the blood and all parts
of the sick hog. The germs will live
in infected soil for a Ions time.
Hog cholera may be spread by any
thing that comes into contact with the
sick hog, he dead carcass or preml-
ses occupied by or contaminated by
sick hogs or their eXCrement.
Hogs suffering from mild cases Of
hog cholera spread the germs far and
wide until death or complete recovery
takes place.
Wallow holes harbor infection for
| long time. Disinfect them.
Hogs may become infected with
/ cholera by being fed on hotel and
restaurant garbage containing pork
scraps. If you must feed This mate
rial protect your hogs with serum.
Hogs fed on offal from Strengthening
develop cholera and many other dis
eases. This should be prohibited by
| law
No breed of hogs are naturally i'm
mune to cholera. All are susceptible.
Hog cholera serum will prevent hog
cholera. Ii will cure some cases in
the early stages of the disease. Early
treatment Of sick herds gives best re-
suits.
The length of time treated hogs are
| immune after treatment depends on
many factors, such as age, environ
ment and method Of treatment.
Serum alone is simple TO admins
| ter not apt to do harm and generally
produces only temporary immunity.
Serum simultaneous Serum and Vi
rusl if carelessly or injudiciously ad-
ministered, may do great damage.
When properly used confers perma-
nent immunity.
On infected premises disinfectants
should be Literally used Coal tar disin-
fectant is cheap and effective, It
should be used in per cent strength
and applied to hog houses by means
of spray pump.
Whitewash containing ; per cent
coal tar disinfectant serves a double
purpose. 1t deodorizes and disin-
fects.
Good drainage is essential in all
sanitary work
Rotation Of hog lots and pastures
does much to keep the hogs healthy.

business this season working a num-
Der of hands a ms pee nlve plant ana

Appalachian Mountains for the purpose
Of determining the amount of honey
plants and various kinds of success
Of honey that he may know where
bee keeping can be carried on with
most profit. He says that southern
Georgia has the most honey plants
and here the business of bee keeping
has the greatest future.
Mr. Wilder is not seen on Cordele
streets very long at time. He
spends the winter months in, southern
Florida at Bradentown where he has
a winter cottage surrounded by a
small orange grove. While there he
catches up with all his fishing and
past time, and plans his business we'll
for the approaching busy months of
spring when the bees require so much
close attention At the same time
he gets in touch with all who may be
interested in bee culture in the south
and need supplies for their bees and
secures their orders. When the bee
busy season is nearly over as we'll as
the bee supply trade, he goes up into
the mountains and spends the sum
mer months in his cottage at Noun
tain City, Ga, which is the great wa
ter shed at the highest railroad point
in the state. While there he cult
Yates his apple orchards and plans
other summer work. He sells his
great crop OF comb honey, made in
Florida, travelling all through the mid
die southern states in the interest of
marketing his honey
Mr.. Wilder is yet young man and
expresses himself as being only be-
ginner in bee keeping.

Castel Lands To Be Of
Great Moment For Morgan
City And Berwick

Trr;er the caption Of The Reali-
zatjon Of Dream Come True" Mr.
W. J. Castel Of New Orleans, who
is we'll known in this city, announces
through the metropolitan papers
thai he is now ready to begin devel-
opnent work on the Ill, eco acres
of marsh lands which h. company
has acquired and which lie ! hout l.
miles south df Morgan c.; and
Berwick. Many local people ~, Ia
miliar with the Castel holdings ,!o,r
the Bayou Chene. The Company in
whose name these lands are owned
is The Land Trust Company, Ltd, OF
which Mr.. Castel is president. A few
local people are interested with the
Land Company in their gigantic pro-
ject, and it is probable that the di-
rect effect the final development
will have on the fortunes of this
part of Louisiana will influence 9TH
ers in joining Mr.. Castel in his effort
to realize his dream.
The 100000 acres owned by Mr..
Casteps company comprise one SOL
id body of land. The nature of the
land is similar to other fresh water
marsh lands in the southern part of
this state probably no other body Of
marsh land offers the additional at
fractions Of this great tract. Not on

taken to Chapman for treatment.
The other two occupants escaped
injury.
