SiIage the
Universal Winter Feed
BY M. P. Jarnaein, Prof. OF Animal
Husbandry, George State Col
Leqe Of Agriculture

Experiments and feeding tests con-
Quoted by the Georgia State College OF
Agriculture and other institutions
throughout the United States have
demonstrated conclusively the value
OF silage in economizing the cost of
carrying all classes of cattle. On ac-
count of the long growing season it
has been ccntended by many stockmen
that the silo is not necessity in
Georgia. 1t is true that many winter
crops can be grown successfully and
have played most important part in
providing green succulent feed for all
kinds of live stock throughout the win
ter months. On farms where less than
ten cattle are carried this is the best
substitute for the silo, but even in the
most southern section CT Georgia there
should be silO on every farm where
as many as ten cattle are kept. This
necessity will constantly become great
er as the value of lands enhance. An
acre grown in sorghum and kaffr corn
will produce fully three times as many
tons of feed as the same acre of land
grown in a soiling crop and cut and
fed green direct to the cattle. Yields
of Is tons Of silage per acre on the
best lands may be expected. Forty
pounds of ensilage per day will make
full feed for 1000 pound animal.
Where cattle are fed 100 days this will
require a little less than two and a
half tons per animal for feeding
period of four months. A small amount
of Gotten seed meal, peanut meal, vel
vet bean meal, or a mixture OF these
should be fed in addition to the ailago
and some dry roughage in the form Of
shredded corn stalks or oat straw
should also be given. Thus il is seen
that from four to seven animals can
be carried during the winter feeding
period on the silage grown on one acre
of land The College is in a position
TO supply plans and specifications for
sios and also render expert supervi.
sion in the construction Of these silos
provided application is received in am.
pie time. At t,,is season of the year
farmers should turn their attention to
the planting of silage crops Circulars
have been prepared at the College Civ.

BOIL WEEv|L
PREPAREDNESS CLUBS
by Andrew M. Soule, Pres. Ga. State
College Of Agriculture


College OF Agriculture
Have you joined the boil weeVil pre-
paredness club? If not, you should
do so at once. By so doing you
will perform an important public serv-
ice, and you will aid materially in the
fight which must be waged against this
miserable pest which threatens the
welfare of the primary industry of the
South. Nothing is accomplished with
out organization. The European war
has given us one illustration after an
other Of the effectiveness of people
combining to accomplish a given end.
The day of isolated effort is past. We
must cease to be a nation so thorough
ly individualistic as we have been in
the past if we would meet the eXigen-
ces of situations such as the boil wee
vii invasion has thrust upon us. 1t is
true, of course, that many farmers are
still in doubt as to the nature and
extent Of the damage which the weevil
will do. In fact, there arc still lot
of doubling Thomases" who think the
weevil will not injure them in the least.
While dream may be pleasant
thing, a nightmare is something to
abhor and the farmers who think that
the weevil will not reach their com
munity or damage them may just at
present be enjoying pleasant dream,
but they will presently wake up to the
experience of a horrible nightmare
which will unfortunately be a stern re-
atty in the worst sense of the word,
and something which they will not be
able to escape from except by fol
lowing the very definite advice which
the College of Agriculture is ready to
place at their disposal through the aid
of the county agents.
In order to arouse the farmers OF
Georgia to sense of their peril and
to inform them as to the best means of
fighting the weevil and to join them
together in a vast cooperative effort,
the policy of organizing boil weevil
preparedness clubs was decided on
some months ago. This idea was orig.
mated by Hon. A. P. Brantley, of Black
shear, and its value Wa so instantly
seif-evident that large number Of Ger.
tificates were Immediately prepared
and are now being distributed widely
throughout the state for the purpose
OF securing a representative member
ship IN Georgia. If you are not at
present a member of the boil weevil
preparedness club or have not secured
one Of the buttons worn by the mem
bers, you should get in touch witt
your county agent at once and join
that great progressive educationa
force which is destined tc aid Georgia
In redeeming herself from the losses
which the boil weevil will infiict. Youl
active aid and sympathy is needed il

Breadmaking and the Use of Flour Substitutes

Dry yeast (home made or Magic)
may be used with the same recipe.
IF the dry yeast is used, only is of
cake is needed for a loaf, and
sponge must be made at night putting
in all ingredients called for except
the sugar and half the flour, which
are added the next morning when the
bread should be kneaded twice before
baking.
To use this recipe with flour sub
stitutes, one-fourth of the flour re-
quired should be of the flour substi-
! tute, and three-fourths wheat hour.
The proportions of other ingredients
are the same in all cases, with the eX-
ception that some Of the mixtures
will be found to require less water
than others. The potatoes and cooked
cereals will reuiqre less than the
others. In general. bread made with
any of the substitutes requires only
about two-thirds as long a time for
fermentation in the pan as ordinary
bread. while the baking should be a
little slower and a little longer I'm
less they are very well baked these
breads may not keep in good condi-
tion for so long a time as the bread
made from more highly refined flour.
This kind of bread will not be quite
as light as the all-wheat, but it is
made from a material which is more
plentiful than wheat, it is more nu-
tritious and more economical.
The following are some recipes in
which flour substitutes can be used.
Hot Biscuits.
1 cup white flour; l cup wheat
flour; l scant tsp. salt; 2 tsp. baking
powder; 2 bst. shortening; about 2-3
cup liquid to mix. Make until well
done (about 10 minutes). In case of
peanut meal, use only "a cup, as this
is equal in weight to 1 cup flour.
Mullins.
IL cup cooked cereal (rice, oat-
meal, sweet potato, dasheen); IL
cup flour; 2 tsp. sugar! l tsp salt;
2 tsp. baking powder; 2 eggs beaten
lightly; 2tsp melted butter; about -
cup milk.
Peanut Biscuit.
cups sifted flour; IL cup crushed
peanuts; l scant level tsp salt; 2
level tsp baking powder; level tsp
shortening; water enough to make
dough of proper constituency
Soy Bean Waters.
112 cups white flour; IL cups
soy bean meal; tsp. salt; tsp bak-
ing powder; "a tsp. butter; liquid
enough to mix soft enough to roll on
the bread. Roll thin, 1-S-in. thick and
cut into rounds. Bake to delicate
brown (about 10 minutes.)
Anyone wishing for a government
bulletin on bread making may get
same by asking for it.

| Wouldn't you like to bake your own
bread and if you knew how to do it,
it, give a quarter of every loaf you
bake to those in Europe who are look
ing to American wheat to keep them
from going hungry? Well, you can do
this. 1t has been found that we can
reduce our own consumption OF wheat
by one-fourth. This can be done by
using three-fourths Of usual amount
of wheat flour in making bread and
one-fourth of the quantity a flour sub
stitute.
The flour substitutes most common
| " known to us in the South are:
sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes; corn
meal; rice; peanut: oat meal; anG
soy Lean. These products can all be
easily grown here and are much more
plentiful than wheat. Every one
should use the substitute which is the
cheapest and most plentiful in their
| locality.
! The sweet potato, Irish potato, rice,
Cat meal and corn meal shold all be
cooked to be prepared for use in max
irs bread. Corn meal should be made
into mush to be used 6 cups water
perpared for use by roasting an crush
ing as fine as possible with rolling
pin GRINDING in meat chopper makes
them too oily.) The soy bean meal
is made by grinding the beans in a
mill like corn.
The following is a recipe all-wheat
bread and if a flour substitute is used
the same recipe can be used:
Recipe for one loaf: 1 cup liuqd
milk or water, or one half of EACH !;
3 to cups of flour; l tablespoon of
salt; l tablespoon sugar; IL cake of
yeast (Fleischmann's or compressed) !;
a tablespoonful shortening.
Put salt, sugar, and fat in mixing
bowl and pour over these the boiled
water or scalded milk and allow to-
become luke warm. Mix the yeast
with little of the luke warm liquid
and add it to the remainder, then
stir in flour gradually, beat we'll for
minute or two after it becomes a
rather thick batter, then stir in re-
mainder of flour. Make a stiff dough,
cover and let rise for 1 IL to two
hours, or until two and one-half or
three times as large as at first. The
dough may be kneaded once or twice
after this mixing and rising, being
placed in baking pans to rise the last
time. Bake As or so minutes, having
oven hot enough to brown bread in
the first Is minutes; then gradually
cool it down. After baking, remove
loaf from pan, place on bread rack
or across the pan and allow to cool
before wrapping it up.
