Steer-Feeding Tests
Now IN Progress

Two steer fattening demonstra-
lions have already been started this
year: One at Gainesville conducted
by Mr.. R. Banks. and one at Com
merce conducted by Mr.. w. A
Burns. Mr.. Scott Murphy, at Talmo
will put thirty head of steers on
feed in two weeks. This will make
three within the radius of twenty
miles. Several others in the various
sections Of north Georgia will be
started before the first of the year.
Mr.. Banks has fifty head of hlee-
grade steers, averaging 9OS pounds.
He is feeding sorghum pomace silage,
cotton seed meal and hulls. The
meal is thoroughly mixed with the
pomace silage before it is fed. The
cattle will be weighed every two
weeks. The feed is being weighed
up each day by basketfuls.
This demonstration should be of
incalculable benefit to Georgia, be-
came of definite results from feed
ing straight pomace silage and the
unusually careful check under farm
conditions on daily amount of feeds
.bnsumed.
Mr.. Burns has two lots of ten
steers each in his demonstration
These steers were purchased in North
Carolina and average about 500
pounds. Individual weights are be-
ing kept, thus giving a good COM
parison in individuality Of the good
and poor gamers.

Grasses and Clovers for Georgia
Pastur es, Having Been Tested

tremes of drought and water, heat
and cold than any southern pasture
grass. 1t is an early grower, APP
pearing two or three weeks before
bermudas in spring and remaining
green two or three weeks later If
kept grazed during the summer.
Normally it grows in punches but
it will form a complete sod if the
land is fertile enough.
White clover is the most dependa-
BILE grazing plant we have for early
spring and late fall. It is we'll adapt
ed to the bottom soils of north Geor-
gia but indications are that it is
not so we'll adapted in south Geor-
gia.
Lengthening Grazing Season
1t is important that the grazing
season should be as long as posi-
BILE with permanent pasture. The
ideal would be grass for twelve
months and consequently no winter
feeding. Our best pastures do not
furnish more than five to seven
months of heavy grazing and two or
three months of light grazing. The
heavy grazing is during the summer
and early fall when plenty of mois-
ture is present, and the light graz
ing during the early spring and late
fall.
There are several plants that may
be regarded as possibilities in help
ing to increase the pasturage during
the early spring and late fall.
Among them are:
Bur clover, block medic, rescue
grass, red top, tall oat, rye grass,
and orchard grass.
These are not recommended as
furnishing a great deal of pasture
every month of the winter but simp-
ly as a supplement to the summer
grazing. They will not be as sue
cessful except under special condi-
tions as lespedeza, carpet grass,
dallis grass, white clover and ber-
muda grass.

Cutting inferior Trees

1t is an excellent forestry prac-
t1ce to cut out the badly diseased,
crooked, over-crowded, inferior trees
in wood lot for fuel wood, giving
more growing space to the straight
promising young trees, according to
forestry specialists of the United
States department of agriculture. In
some cases, such as in stands of old
pine, few large trees should be
left for seed to restock the land,
unless the area is to be cleared. In
many SECTIONS of the country the
present high prices of coal have made
profitable a renewal of the wood fuel
industry so that many farmers are
finding it worth while to clear out
the less desirable trees in their wood
lands and cut them UP into cordwood
or shorter lengths.

Washington Farmers
Build Potato House

County Agent H. A. Cleft recent
Iy sent in a report showing the
method Of organizing a cooperative
sweet potato storage house:
The Washington County Sweet Po-
tato company was organized May %,
1919, at, q meetinng called by County
Agent n. A. Cliett. Twelve farmers
greatly interested in potato storage
houses were present.
1t was determined to form a CO.
operative company with an initial
capital stock of $4,000, with the
privilege of increasing it to $4,000.
The stock was issued in $25 shares
Organization officers elected were
G. D. Shelnut, president; H. A. Cliett,
secretary C. Findley Irwin treas
urer. The president and secretary
sold the stock without great deal
of trouble.
The charter was accepted and five
directors were elected on July 8.
Permanent officers were also elected.
They are: c. D.. Shelnut, president;
Jeff A. Irwin, vice president; H. A.
Cleft, secretary; c. Findley Irwin,
treasurer.
Work on the house was begun and
it was soon completed. The house
was built according to government
specifications. 1t is of 15,O00-bushel
capacity, having three units of 5000
bushels each.
On account of the late date at
which the house was completed, and
adverse seasonal conditions, the
house was only partially filled. Tho
potatoes are keeping well.
County Agent Cleft and the Wash
ington county farmers are planning
to erect another large potato stor-
age house in another portion of the
county this year.

A study Of successful pastures
in our state shows that we have
several grasses and clovers grow
ing well under our conditions. The
most important ones are:
LespedeZa or Japan clover, Ber-
muda grass, Carpet grass, Dallis
grass, White clover.
All these except bermuda have in
the majority Of cases been intro
duced accidently into the pastures.
With a small beginning they have
increased and formed a complete
sod. All of them spread by produc-
ing seed which are eaten by animals
and scattered in the droppings.
Bermuda grass produces a few
fertile seed but spreads by means
of it's roots also. Under moderate
grazing, Carpet grass and Lespedeza
are heavy /seeders, while white Glow
er and Dallas grass are moderate
seeders.
Soil Adaptations
+ Lespedeza is the most important
pasture plant in Georgia. For graz
ing on poor soils, it is unexcelled.
Given plenty of moisture it will
grow almost anywhere in the state.
Bermuda grass ranks second, be-
ing we'll adapted to the red hill
section of the state. Because of the
cold winter in the mountain coun-
ties and Of the sandy top soil in
nearly all of south Georgia it is not
so successful in these sections. Car
pet grass grows well in the low.

gia and in the bottoms of north

Given an opportunity by the clear
ing away of native growth, it will
spread more slowly over the hills.
Very heavy grazing of the native
grasses from early spring will soon
kill them out, allowing carpet grass
and Lespedeza to come in.

Georgia Coming to the Front .:.
In Producing Sweet Potatoes

to be found locally. 1t has only been
during the last four or five years
that there were any practical storage
facilities for keeping the surplus OF
the harvesting season. so that 1t
could be evenly distributed over the
consuming year.
At harvesting time it used to be
next to impossible to sell sweet po-
tatoes for any price and in the spring
it was difficult for the consumer to
buy them at all.
If the potatoes were sold in the
fall the price was extremely low; If
stored in banks or pits the losses in
decay and discoloration were usually
high-often as much as 25 to so per
cent. Even when, owing to good
weather conditions and exceptional
care in the construction of these
banks and pits, the crop was sue
cessfully stored, it was found that
the cost of making a new storage
house (of soiD annually and the
banks or pits were subject to wealth
err conditions, throughout the winter;
even to the taking out of the potatoes
for sale, as it is not advisable to
open a storage house when the soil
is wet.
Marketing Facilities
With the organization of companies
for the storing and marketing sweet
potatoes, this natural product of the
south came into it's own for the first
time of the history of the state.
These companies are, as a rule, pay
ing a cash price for this product
as it is delivered at the warehouses
at harvesting time and thereby put
ting it on the basis with cotton.
They are large enough to justify a
marketing organization that cannot
only investigate and make connec-
tons with the markets Of our own
cities, but they can go into the mar
kets of the north and west to sell
their holdings.
This is a momentous progressive
step as anything sold out of the
state is profit to the state as a
whole. Furthermore, it relieves the
local markets in the fall at a time
when they used to be glutted, giving
to the small producer an opportunity
to sell his crop locally at harvesting
time.
The most unsatisfactory method of
marketing sweet potatoes is the con-
signing Of the crop to commission
men in bulk. Unless the small hold
err can sell locally, or sell to a stor-
age house, he necessarily is forced
to consign his product. With the
organization of marketing associa4
lions and companies for storage this
unsatisfactory scheme of handling is
disappearing.
For information in reference to
the growing, harvesting and storing
of sweet potatoes, communicate with
the division of horticulture, Georgia

This year Georgia produced TO-
327,530 pounds of flue-cured to-
bacco, which sold for an average of
$17,73 per hundred pounds. This
average was made from the COM
plete reports of eight warehouses.
Some of the markets in sections
that did not suffer SO badly from
rains as others made an average
for the season of $21.00 per hundred.
Good tobacco sold high, but the
rains caused a large amount of low
grade tobacco and therefore made
the average for the season low.
Yield Low
The yield per acre this year was
lower than last year. This is to be
expected, however. The yield not
only varied a great deal on different
farms, but it is interesting to note
the difference in yield in different
counties. an.
Records made of 121 farms from
IS different counties show an aver
age yield of $50 pounds per acre.
While the average yield for %
farms in Berrien county was $50
pounds, only the tobacco sold was
considered
Most tobacco growers had low
grade tobacco that was not put on
the market. Some farmers sold only
half of their crop, therefore the
average yield this year is not
fair indication of the amount that
can be produced under normal con-
ditions. Yields varied from 200 to
1000 pounds per acre. The average
total yield was about 900 pounds per
acre. The average yield last year
was $50 pounds. An average yield
Of 700 to 1000 pounds can be ex-
pected under normal conditions.
The variation Of the gross returns
per acre was unusually wide, vary
ing from $500 to $4,000 on the
farms studied. Most of the farmers
who received very small returns
were the ones who did not trans
plant their tobacco until June or
July, or whose fields were practi-
cally drowned.
Most of the farmers who seeded
their plant bed in January trans
planting by the Goth of April made
a profit On their tobacco. A record

GROWN IN GEORGIA THIS YEAR

of 20 farms In Berrien county show
ed that an average of $4,000 per
acre gross was received. For begin
ners in a new section with very bad
weather conditions, this showing is
very good.
Late Tobacco Unproftab1e
Leaving out the weather, most Of
the failures were due to poor plant
beds. The plant bed is the keynote
to success in the tobacco business.
The farmer who sows his plant bed
early and has plenty of good, strong
plants to set all of his tobacco the
first part of April has won half of
the battle. Late tobacco is rarely
ever profitable.
A great many failures were due
to lack of experience. There were
q number of instances where a good
tobacco man would have paid for his
services for the entire season with
one barn of tobacco.
Prices Advanced
Tobacco is now selling very high
on the North Carolina and Virginia
markets. It is unfortunate that
Georgia sold her crop before tobac-
CO made such a big advance. The
Georgia tobacco crop would prob
ably bring twice as much now as it
did when the crop was sold.
1t has been thoroughly demon
strated that Georgia can and has
grown bright tobacco that compares
favorably in every particular with
that grown in any section of the
United States.
1t would be a mistake for the
farmers who have already bought
their experience and have curing
barns and other equipment not to
continue growing tobacco if their
soils are adapted to the crop.
1t would not be wise to advocate
the opening Of many new markets
another year. 1t requires a good
quantity of tobacco to get buyers and
it requires a full corps of buyers
to secure the highest price.
Experience in the tobacco belt over
many years has shown that the
small markets do not pay. We could
not do better than to devote our
efforts to increasing the size of the
markets already established.

Small Start Is Best

The safest way for those who are
about to make their first attempt at
poultry raising is to start in small
way with few fowls and learn the
business thoroughly before making
large investments. Mistakes will be
made and many difficult problems
will be presented for solution before
success in any large measure will be
attained. AS soon as it is found to
be a paying investment, more capt.
tai may be put into the plant.

aY GEORGE H. ErNoR

During the past few years Georgia
has been producing sweet potatoes
at a rapidly increasing rate. In 1909
the crop was estimated at 100000
bushels; in 1917 it reached 13,0O0,-
600. This great increase has been
due to the stimulation given to the
production of food crops by the low
prices paid for cotton in 1914; by
the boil weevil infestation of many
of the south Georgia counties; and
by the high prices paid for all food
products during and since the war.
The sweet potato being one of the
south's most important food crops,
it has naturally played an important
part in the trying days of the war
when food became the first line of
defense in the stupendous conflict.
In looking for a basic and staple
food crop, the farmers of the south
ern states cannot find better one
than the sweet potato, because it
possesses the two prime essentials
of any food crop.
Adapted to Soil
It is excellently adapted to soil and
climatic conditions and can be pro-
duced in quantity cheaply without
making any radical change in organi-
zation and equipment. Also it meets
the natural and scientific desires of
the consumer. 1t is tasty, when
properly prepared, and of very high
food value, being better than the
Irish potato in this respect.
Consequently, each year the sweet
potato has become a greater none
tary asset to the state than it was
the year before and there is no pros
pect, excepting a national economic
or political calamity, that it will not
continue to hold it's we'll merited
position.
Adapted to Coastal Plains
The sweet potato is crop adapted
best to the Great coastal plains,
which lands are almost completely
in the southern states. The value of
the sweet potato crop of the south
ern states was $35,000,O00 in 1909;
$60,O0O,00O in 1915, and $100,000,000
in 1918.
It has been during recent years
that the sweet potato has become a
profitable crop when grown IN guam
tity by any one grower. 1t has only
been recently that there were mark
ketS for this crop other than those
