CATTLE FREE OF TUBERCULOSIS
I'm view of the fact that our native
cattle are practically free of tubercu-
losis it is essential that every effort be
made to prevent the introduction of this
dreadful disease from the tubercular
breeding herds of the northern states.
Prospective purchasers of cattle for
breeding purposes cannot exercise too
much precaution in this matter. The
state veterinarian would not be true
to the trust placed in him by legislative
enactment if he did not promptly ex-
pose the presence of this disease in any
herd even though he incurred the enmity
of politicians whose personal interests
had been jeopardized by the exposure"

IMPORTED
VAST QUANTITIES Of
MEAT LAST YEAR
Astounding Figures Are Con-
tanned in Annual Report of
DR.. Peter F. BahnSen, the
State Veterinarian

Millions and millions of pounds OF
meat and meat products, representing an
outlay of many millions of dollars
were shipped into Georgia last year.
The figures, contained in the annual re-
port of DIR. Peter f. Bahnsen, state vet
erlnarian, which include only the hrSt
eleven months of 1916, are nothing short
OF astounding.
All of this meat was consumed In
Georgia and was in addition to the large
amount of meat produced in the state
For several years past there has been
a great agitation in favor OF Georgia
farmers raising all food products, In
Guiding meat and the grain to feed cat
tie, hogs and horses. While this agl-
tation has resulted in a wonderful
amount of good and large increase IN
the production of all kinds of food crops
ard meat animals, the state is still a
long ways behind and the production is
only a small percentage of what is re-
quired to meet the needs of the people
of the state.
DR.. Bahnsen gives the following table
showing by pounds the amount of meat
products shipped into Georgia during
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1917-01-09

NDuring the nrSt -FOUR months Oh ISAo
all lard shipments were included in our
reports under packing house products.
The lard shipments. an they appear in
the list, are, therefore. only from May
to November 80. 1916.
MUNICIPAL ABATTOIRS NEEDED.
Under the head of slaughter houses,
meat markets and dairies, DR.. Bahnsen
gives some highly interesting and in
formative facts. He says:
throughout the year we have main
tanned a periodic inspection of slaughter
houses meat markets and dairies as pro-
vided for by the acts of 1914. The force
available for this service is hardly large
enough to cover the field as it should be;
and yet, material Improvement in condi-
tions are recognized everywhere.
again 1 want to reiterate the sug-
gestion that the establishment of munic-
ipally owned and operated abattoirs in
all cities of 10000 inhabitants, or more,
is highly desirable from q viewpoint of
better public service and public welfare.
When urging the establishment of such
plants we are persistently confronted
with a generally prevailing opinion that
such plants cannot be maintained except
at a loss to the municipality. careful
investigation of the facts will prove
the contrary. The city of Albany in
stalled a plant according to plans fur
nished by this department. This plant
has proved self-sustaining and has made
a reasonable dividend on the investment,
to say nothing of superior service given
to it's citizens by the sanitary killing
plant where every carcass offered for
sale in the city of Albany receives a
careful ante and post-mortem inspection
before the official stamp is applied.
Every year we are confronted with
the problem as to how to save our an
nually increasing pork crop. Climatic
and crop conditions are such as to limit
marketing of hogs to a period Of about
four months, october, November, Decem-
Der and January. 1t is practically inn
possible to have hogs in market condi-
ton prior to October and it is econom-
ically impractical to carry hogs longer
than January. If, as happened this
year. we are blessed with a prolonged
cold spell during the latter part of No
vember the usually tense situation of
saving our meat crop is materially re-

a wagon bed and the farmer who can
not afford to purchase lime distribu
tor should follow this plan. The ground
should be plowed before the lime is APP
piled. 1t may then be broadcasted over
the land during the winter or early
spring and then narrowed in. Lime
should not be mixed with, other fertiliz-
ers. 1t certainly is a mistake to mix
ground rock and acid phosphate as we
understand the situation. When this
is done we think a certain amount of
the ava liable phosphoric acid will be
converted into a less available form
and you will understand why it is
poor policy for the farmer to follow
on that account. We believe that under
peanuts as much as 800 to 500 pounds
of acid phosphate will be found profita-
BILE 1t will be a mistake not to put
any acid phosphate under peanuts and
if conditions were at all normal the
use of some potash would alSo be
found an advantage.

The question of fertiliZing gray peb-
BILE land on which velvet beans were
grown last year will depend considerably
on the disposition you made of the vel
vet bean crop. If you cut it off the land
and cure as hay or gather and feed the
grain your soil will not be materially
enriched by the growth of the crop.
Of course some nitrogen will be left in
it, say twenty-five to thirty-five pounds
per acre. On the other hand, if you
gather the grain and turn under the
stalks and leaves while the crop is
still green you will enrich the soil q
good deal more In the event you. do
this it will probably not be necessary
to use much nitrogen under your cotton.
say not more than 2 to 8 per cent. If
you do not turn under the stalks how
ever we would think that to per cent
of nitrogen could be used to advantage.
You should certainly use a consider
able amount of acid phosphate on this
land, the equivalent, say, of to IL per
cent. This element helps to hasten the
maturity of cotton and its use is particu-
larly important in those sections which
the boil weevil has invaded
Velvet bean meal without the hulls
contains about $40 per cent nitrogen
and 10 per cent of potash, or thirty
four pounds Of potash per ton. When
the beans and hulls are ground together
the nitrogen content of the meal drops
to 2.64 per cent and the potash increases
to 1.72 per cent, or 34.4 pounds Of potash
per ton
