it was five miles from town. At a
cattle sale held in the same section,
no less than 1913 autos were counted
averaging in value around $1,000
each. This is evidence of substantial
property so far as Iowa is con-
cerned. and may, in no small meas
ure, be credited to live stock, prin-
cipally hogs, inasmuch as that state
produces about 100000 annually.
Iowa has been selected because
that state is credited with being the
leader in live stock production. AS
a matter of fact, however, Georgia
is better state in which to produce
live stock than Iowa is and no better
proof is to be had than the success
being made by members of the Geor-
gia pig clubs. What follows has
been sifted out of communications
sent to the college in the form of
letters and reports from scattered
sections of the state with no thought
of selecting high records.
THE BEST VARIETY OF ALFALFA
FOR GEORGIA
II. A v. LaGranGe, Ga, writes: Have
you had any experience with Grimm
/ alfalfa? We nave heard some wonder
full accounts of it and thought it might
tie the best kind to use. We wish 10
lime the LAND. How much should be
used per acre? Any information about
seeding alfalfa will he appreciated.
We have found the narrow leaved
alfalfas, which appear to have
originated in Peru and Chile and
some of the other South American
countries, the most likely to prove
satisfactory in this section of the
south. We have only very small
nursery rows of these varieties Of
alfalfa as yet, as they were sent to
us by the federal government for
testing quite recently. They are
samples of alfalfa seed collected by
agricultural explorers throughout va
rious parts of the world, and we will
endeavor, of course, in time to de-
Velop and secure seed of these strains
so that the general distribution in
testing out the adaptability of these
varieties for general culture in Geor-
gia may be under taken.
The Grimm variety Of alfalfa to
which you refer is, as L understand
it, adapted for cultivation in very
cold climates. It's use appears to be
more desirable in Minnesota and the
Dakotas than in sections farther
south. In our own experience we
have found the strains of alfalfa pro-
duced in Colorado and in Utah quite
satisfactory for cultivation here in
Georgia. We have tried imported
seed, but have found the native seed
preferable and have endeavored to
secure such seed as we need from
time to time. therefore, from Kan
sas, Colorado or Utah. Since we
have stands of alfalfa on the col
lege farm now which are several
years of age and producing crops
satisfactorily we feel that the
strains mentioned should do we'll in
your locality.
Limestone must, of course, be used
on land where one expects to plant
alfalfa. We advocate the use of
about four or five tons per acre.
Three tons should be put on before
the land is plowed, 1t should then
be turned under to as great a depeh

Can beef be picked and packed away

HE directions for keeping meat
Various ways to can beef or drv
or cure pork have been followed. Re
ceipts are frequently changed to
meet the tastes Of individuals. Stan
dard receipts for the purpose you
have indicated, however, are avail
able and We prefer to recommend
these to your favorable attention
since they have been tried out by
long experience and can be guaran-
teed to give results, provided the
directions Indicated below are fol-
lowed very carefully
In order to insure proper curing,
meat must be sufficiently cooled be-
lore placing in cure. In warm wealth
er care must be exercised to keep
1t from becoming tainted, once tainted
1t cannot be brought back to tts

during warm weather it may be NEG
essary to use ice. Ice may be broken
into pieces of about one pound each
and packed around and between the
cuts of meat. When thoroughly
cooled to the bone, the meat is ready
to place in cure.
Curing in brine is done as fol-
lows:
Place a receptacle large enough to
easily contain the meats to be cured.

are good. Pack the large cuts at
bottom, as closely as possible. Pre-
pare the following brine:
For each 100 pounds of meat take
eight pounds of sale; four pounds
of brown sugar or molasses three
ounces salt-peter. Put in four gall
Ions of water that has been boiled
and allowed to cool. Cover the
meat with this brine and place
weight on top to keep all the pieces
covered. If the quantity of brine
becomes reduced by leaking or evap-
grafton make more brine as described
and add to it.
After the meat has been in cure
ten days or two weeks, take the
pieces out and replace in different

penetrate the spots where the pieces

Seeding Wheat After Corn and velvet
Beans

nave some good dark SOIL Whlch was
planted to corn and velvet beans this
year that / am thinking of sowing to
wheat. | wish information in regard to
preparing the land and what variety
of wheat to use. L also wish to plant
half acre to onions. What variety is
best? Should plant the seed or buy
the sets?
Wheat has been grown with con-
siderable success in some sections of
middle and south Georgia in recent
years. On the test plats, which we
conduct in various parts of the state,
it has not done as well in the eX-
IRENE southern part of the state as
farther north. We do not know just
what results you might anticipate
from wheat in your section, but
imagine you would not obtain as
large yields on the areas in middle
Georgia as in north Georgia
There is no reason why you should
not grow some wheat in your Sec
ton, and in that event we would
ploW and prepare the land very thor
oughly. If it is mellow, friable
soil blowing may not be necessary,
as wheat does best on a relatively
friable piece Of land which is thor
oughly compact. The growing of
corn and beans should put the land
in fairly good condition for wheat
provided you are in position to bury
this trash promptly and secure a
firm seeded thereon.
We would not seed wheat in your
section before the first of November.
Any of the standard sorts may be
To III
Ripe, Early May, Klondyke, Fulcast-
er or Mediterranean. The seed should
be sown at the rate of about a
bushel and a peck per acre. 1t is
best to drill in the wheat, covering
it to fairly good depth. 1t is desir-
able to use some fertilizer. We sug-
gest at least 800 pounds of a formula
containing 8 per cent nitrogen, to
9 per cent phosphoric acid and about
2 to 8 per cent of potash. Five hum
dred pounds might be better appli-
cation for one located in your Sec
ton, unless the soil is unusually rich
In the spring we would top dress
this wheat, say in late February,
with nitrate of soda at the rate of
so to 100 pounds.
We see no reason why you should
not plant onion seed in your section
Immediately and grow sets to be
planted later on to provide an early
spring crop. Located as close to the
coast as you are you should be able
to grow Bermuda onions successful
ly, and we are inclined to think that
the White Bermuda would be the one
we would select for use under the
circumstances portrayed.
