Making Hay From Forage Crops
Ihe subject of hay production is
always one of great interest to our
farmers. We have been guilty of
sending out Of the south millions
OF dollars each gear for the pur-
chase of hay. If we could keep this
money at home it would aid mate
rally to the welfare of our people.
IL would also be a means of insur-
ing US against the invasion of our
lands by many undesirable para
site and bacterial pests. Undoubt-
edly the Lady Bird bean beetle,
which now threatens to prove so de-
structive to our legumes, was i'm
ported into Alabama in western hay.
If the farmers in that vicinity had
done their full duty and grown all
the hay locally that was necessary
stock this invasion could in all
probability have been avoided for an
indefinite period. This is but one
illustration of the advantage of pro-
ducing food crops locally.
What can we use for hay, and how
should we proceed to handle these
crops? These are pertinent questions
just at this time. There is no rea-
son why we should not plant hay
crops for the next two months in
Georgia. Therefore an outline of
the method of procedure which we
deem desirable to follow out at this
time and the best crops to utilize has
been prepared. Study these sugges-
tions carefully, and be certain that
you have. a sufficient acreage plant
ed to hay this fall to supply your
live stock with an a. lndance of
roughage during the fall and winter.
The cowpeaS, more commonly
known as pea, is the most important
hay plant for Georgia. Peas grow
well in all parts OF the state. The
hay is rather hard to cure, but when
cured properly is nutritious, palata-
BILE and of good appearance. 1t will
become damaged, however, II baled
or stored in quantity before curing
thoroughly.
Nearly all varieties of peas can be
used for hay production but some
have special points of superiority.
The principal varieties for Georgia
are as follows: The Brabham is wilt
resistant, good yielder of hay,
fair yielder of seed and dependable.
The seed are small in size. The Iron
is wilt resistant, a good yielder of
hay, and a fair to good yielder of
seed that keep we'll. The Victory is
a new wilt resistant variety that is
highly recommended. The Whippoor-
will is good wielder Of hay and
seed and is dependable under nearly
all conditions. The Clay is variable
in yields of hay and seed, but is
good on poor lands il seeded early.
The New Era is an early variety, a
small yielder of hay, and variable in
seed production. Thc Red Ripper is
a fair yielder of hay aid fair to
good yielder of seed.
The following table gives the

| age. Sorghum grown in rows and
cut and shocked outyields sorghum
for hay, is more easily handled and
IS particularly valuable for cattle
during the fall and early winter.
Amber and orange are early small
growing varieties better adapted for
hay than the later and larger ones.
Sorghum is seeded broadcast at
the rate of 75 to 100 pounds per acre.
Seeding can be done from early
spring until summer.
Sorghum is ready to cut when. the
SEED heads are mature. Several hot,
dry days are needed to cure this
crop. When cut it should be left I'M
as much as possible. Each break
in the stem Of a plant will increase
the danger of fermentation, especial
ly in damp weather. Heavy yields
are secured on damp, low lands. Four
to five tons per acre are not uncom-
mon.
In the extreme northern part of
the state soy beans can be substi-
tuted for cow peas as the main hay
crop, and in other sections there is
a possibility of utilizing them to
some extent Soy beans require rich
er land than peas, but on lands to
which thex are adapted they will
stand eXtreI1es of drought and wet
ness better than peas.
There are numerous varieties of
soy beans but only a few generally
distributed. The varieties for hay
in Georgia are as follows: The Mann
moth Yellow is the, standard variety
with coarse, upright stems unless
seeded thick. 1t is dependable
seeder. The O-too-tan has very wiry
slender stems and is excellent for
hay on good lands. The seed produc-
ton is variable. The Virginia has
slender stems, but not so wiry as
O-too-tan. This variety yields good
quality of hay and is variable in
seed production. The Biloxi is a
giant variety for low wet and heavy
soils of the coastal plain and is a
coarse grower. It's possibilities in
Georgia are not we'll known. The
slender stemmed varieties make the
best quality of hay.
Soy beans are usually grown alone
for hay. Sometimes the Mammoth
Yellow variety is mixed with cow
peas to hold up the wiry growth OF
the latter. Soy beans for hay are
either seeded broadcast as peas or
drilled in rows and cultivated. The
usual rate is one buShel per acre
when broadcast and one-half bushel
when drilled, but fewer Of the O-too-
tan variety are needed due to small
size.
Soy bean hay is ready to cut as
soon as the first pods begin to turn
pea hay. The more bushy growth
makes it somewhat easier to cure.
On good lands the soy bean will usu-
ally outyield the cow pea, but, on
average lands it will not. The yields

New Era 40
The soil needs to be plowed or
disced thoroughly in preparation for
peas. Seeding can be done by hand
or better by using a grain drill. The
standard rate is about one bushel
increased on good land when the
price of seed is not prohibitive. Over
the greater part of Georgia the best
time of seeding is shortly after the
oats, rye and wheat have been har-
vested. In the extreme southern
part 1t is well to wait for thirty to
forty days in order for the crop to
mature after the summer rainy lea

One-half to three-quarters of a ton
per acre is the average yield of peas

acre is a fair average but under best
conditions two tons can be secured.
Velvet beans are not primarily

in south Georgia because of the spe-
cial adaptation to that section. Vel

consumption.

Much of the velvet bean hay is
harvested from the corn field where
the beans are planted between the
hills of corn or in separate rows.
Where beans are seeded for hay they
can be put in thrse-foot rows thick
in the drill or broadcast. From one
half to one and one-half bushels per
acre are needed. Seeding should be
done before summer. Some support
ing growth as sorghum or corn is
needed for velvet beans when sown

Velvet bean hay needs to be har-

time but the leaves will be lost.

as cowpeas.

OIL FROM FOSSIL SEA Fish
Substance Highly Valued for its
Curative Properties Obtained From
centurles-oId Deposits.

In certain parts Of the world mining
for fish is a very profitable occupation.
Many thousands OF years ago the
oceans covered large portions OF the
world which now are dry land. The
whole face of the globe has altered,
for you may now find high mountains
In places ghere formerly there we're
plains or even great seas:
AS the mountais were heaved up by
subterranean explosions, the waters
rceded, leaving behind the remains
Of countless millions Of their inhabi-
tants. That is why we find In Switzer-
land enormous deposits Of fossil sea-
fish hundreds Of miles away from the
sea.
These fossils retain the oil that was
present in the bodies of living fish
thousands Of years ago. Matured by
its Immense age. this oil has extraor-
binary curative properties when used
In the treatment of chilblains and Ger
tain forms of skin disease.
The fossils are dug out, often from
considerable distances beneath the

valuable, for great quantity of fossil
fish is needed before a pint Of oil car

Horseshoe Superstition.

A weu-known writer OF curious his.
tories says of the horseshoe: ut was
the custom long ago to place in every
church and home an image Of its pa
tron saint. Around the head OF this
image was carved halo or glory, as
we see 1t painted 10 all old pictures.
Sometimes It was a piece Of polished
metal. The halo often remained after
the figure Of the saint had disappeared
and was fastened at the door as sub.
stitute for the image itself. Soon these
pieces of semi-circular metal became
articles of sale in the shops, presently
taking the shape Of the horseshoe ;
they finally became the symbol Of that
protection which the saint was thought
to give. and thus originated the charm
implied to the horseshoe. This myth
Is poetIcal. There is. however, more

CHIROPRACTIC

Anatomical study reveals the fact that
the nerves which go to specific parts
OF the body branch off from the spinal
cord at certain definite points These
nerves control the actions OF these
specific parts. Thus 1t is found that

particular part Of the bodily organism.
the reason is to found in q displace.

ular part branch forth from the spinal

Chiropractors do not claim to cure,
treat or heal disease. They merely
correct wrong conditions OF the bodily
machine and Nature does the real
work of healing. The work of the
Chiropractor Is, in a sense, mechanical
