Promoting Our Animal Industries
By Andrew NJ Soue Pres Ga State College of Agriculture

One of Georgia's greatest assets
consists of the very considerable
number of farm animals she pos
sesses. OF course, we need
many more. That attention is being
directed to this matter, however, is
evidenced by the fact that the number
of our hogs has increased at the rate
100000 year for eight years. Their
quality has also been greatly improved.
We are bringing in considerable
number Of pure bred sires of several
important breeds and thereby increas-
ing the individual value of our beef
and dairy cattle.
Draft animals of the Percheron type
are also finding more favor than hith-
erto. How has this result been
brought about? Primarily through the
activities of the College of Agriculture

and its extension workers who have
aided farmers in selecting breeding
stock.
The manufacture and distribution of
hog cholera serum at cost has also
enabled farmers to fight this disease
with remarkable success. as the in
crease of our swine fully demonstrates
We are now face to face with the
problem of changing our methods of
farming, diversifying, for instance, and
increasing our holdings of livestock in
order that we may utilize our lands to
advantage and vary the crops we grow
thereon under that type of practice
which the boil weevil will make it nee
essary for us to employ Even though
the boil weevil should reduce the re-
turns from our cotton fields by $5,000,-
100000 or $4,000, 100000, there is no
reason why we should not make up
this loss and add an increment of $685.
100000 besides, thus emphasizing
our livestock industries To do this
we must educate our boys, for live
stock production is highly specialized
business, as the notable success of Eng
fish and Scotch breeders has shown.
We must also provide our state with
a sufficient number of expert, trained
veterinarians to care for the health of
our animals in a satisfactory manner.
We are today losing $4,000. 100000 from
diseases and exposure alone. This is
a heavy drain on the resources of the
Georgia farmer which is largely pre-
ventable.
Nothing worth while is accomplished
without leadership Therefore, the Col
