HOG RAISING IN THE SOUTH
Many Southern Farmers Growing
More Animals and of Larger Type
Noticeable In Georgia.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
An important result of hog-cholera
control work which has resulted In
steady decline of the disease, has
been the stimulus given the develop
ment of swine raising in the South.
With other activities of the depart
ment in this line, the assurance given
to Southern farmers that hogs can be
produced without fear of losses from
cholera has encouraged growing not
only larger numbers of animals but
also better types. This has been no.
ticeable particularly in Georgia. A
few years ago that state purchased
about 40.000,000 pounds of pork more
than it produced annually. But eff
forts for the control of hog cholera
have gradually extended over the en-
tire state, with resulting confidence in
hog raising By 1918 Georgia was
producing pork enough to make ship
ments to outside points besides sup
plyirg a large number of hogs to local
slaughtering establishments. Similar
progress has been made in Mississip-
pi, Alabama and Florida.

The postal censor in London was the

Strainer cloths containing 35.O00.O00
bacteria per square inch have been
found In use on dairy farms.
The average strainer cloth, Of which
about SO square inches is In contact
with the milk, is likely to contain fully
billion bacteria If 1t Is not washed
and sterilized after each milking.
If the cloth is folded, the number Of
bacteria is likely to be still greater.
Milk produced under conditions
where utensils were not sterile was
found to contain more than 666,000
bacteria per cubic centimeter.
When all utensils were sterilized,
the average bacterial count was only
about 1000 per cubic centimeter or
less than one-twentieth as many.
Bacteria in milk are not necessarily
Injurious to health, but they reduce Its
keeping quality. Certain kinds Of bac-
terla, If too numerous, also affect its
palatability. For the production of
clean milk the department of agricul-
ture urges strict sanitation in every
dairy operation.
Utensils and strainer cloths should
be thoroughly washed with warm
water and washing powder, then
rinsed in clean water and ster-
ilized by boiling or steaming for

structed.
1917-The human voice transmitted
by radio telephone from airplane to
ground.
Talk Thousands Of Miles.
Contemporaneous with this was the
commercial development of the radio
telephone for ground and ship use by
engineers of the American Telephone
and Telegraph company. This culmi-
mated In successful transmission
from the naval radio station at Arling-
ton to stations thousands Of miles
away.
In May. 1917. steps were taken to
combine the experience OF the engi-
neers and of the army in developing
the airplane wireless.
Six weeks later the airplane tele-
phone was fact, and In October, 1917,
a long-range test was made. Tele-
phonic communication was carried on
between airplanes in flight up to %
miles apart and from ,airplane to
ground up to a distance of 45 miles.
| The development of voice command
ed flying was definitely begun at Gerst-
ner field, La, in May. 1918. On June 1
an aerial review was given by an air
fleet of two squadrons of 18 planes
each, followed by a close order drill
by section of six airplanes.
Throughout the review and the drill
command was exercised by the voice
of the commander flying with the fleet.
In September following, voice COM
manded flying was instituted at sew.
eral other fields.
Avoids Many Accidents.
By using the airplane radio tele-
| phone in instructing aviators in aerial
gunnery 1t was found possible to reach
the same efficiency with saving Of
one-third of the time. By exercising
control over pilots in the air, accidents
were practically eliminated.
At the signing of the armistice, de
velopment and training in voice COM
manded flying was well under way.
Numerous demonstrations were held
during November and December and
| fleet of 204 airplanes was maneuvered
in the air at San Diego by voice com
mand.
In the practical application of the
airplane radio telephone to airplanes,
over 5000 flights have been made with
this apparatus in this country. In the
last 1000 flights there have been only
| IA cases of airplane trouble and only
25 cases of radio trouble.
Shipments of the apparatus to
France in quantities began August and

manded military air unit would un-
doubtedly have made itself felt.

SYSTEM OF CROP ROTATION
Successful Dairymen Will Have One
Market or Cash Crop Besides
Profit From Dairy.

The most successful dairymen have
a system of crop rotation that enables
them to have one market or cash crop
besides the profit of the dairy. The
increased fertility that is brought on
to the farm from the use of concen-
trated feed stuffs more than offsets
the amount of fertility removed by
the sale of the dairy products. An
other factor is that the same help
required to properly conduct a dairy
can find time outside of the routine
dairy work to care for q profitable
market or cash crop.

had received attention from the army.
In August, 1910, the first wireless
transmission from airplanes was made.
In the years following the development
of the airplane radio was carried on
through series of accomplishments.
These may be summed as follows:
1912-Message transmitted from air
plane to ground by wireless telegraph
over a distance Of so miles.
1915-Fan type of driving the wire
