Tennessee valley Fair Notes

Another fair has come and gone,
The weather was glorious, just cool
enough to make coat suits comfort
able and to give the owners of new
wraps an opportunity to show them
and not seem to be crowding the
season. There were plenty of pretty
girls and L was glad to see that
their dresses seemed more modest
and that they did not have as much
paint on their faces as they man.

The fair in Tuscumbia was excel
lent. There were all sorts of inter-
esting things, the sort that puts
ssead of the sort that entices it into
the hands Of the owner of wheel or
any Of the other gambling devices.
There were running and jumping
contests open to any one brave
enough to try and / expect the small
boys this winter will do a great deal
o Training along those lines, for they
were deeply interested.
There were all sorts of fine cattle
from Auburn and some one to talk
to the people interested in milk and
beef production.
I saw some Jerseys that made me
want to andd cows to my own re-
sponsibilities. The farmer has a
good grade Of stock, but I would like
some of the best.
There was a health department,
the county doctor and nurse were
there; they weighed the children and
asked them what they ate. One girl
thirteen years old, was ten pounds
too light. She was told to drink
three glasses of milk day. She
eats vegetables and needed more
milk. 1t is surprising how little
milk is used by some families.

A great variety of rations may be
fed to mich cows for the purpose
Of encouraging a liberal production
Of that very desirable kind of food.
1t is important always that COW
be supplied with plenty of green feed.
A succulent ration produces more
milk at a lower cost than a dry. ra-
ton. On the average farm, or where
only one COW is kept, silo Is not
practicable. Therefore the dry for
age when fed should be run through
a cutting box, moistened with water
to soften for few hours. When
fed in this condition the cow will
find 1t more palatable and will eat
more Of 1t.
During the summer months you
should provide as much green feed
as possible. This is comparatively
easy in any part of Georgia because
soiling crops may be used for this
purpose. BY soiling crops I refer.
say to sorghum. which may be cut
when heading out and fed from day
to day in a green condition in such
quantities as the COW will consume.
The concentrated part Of the ra-
ton is best made UP of equal parts
Of corn and cob meal and cotton seed
meal, or better still, equal parts OF
corn and cob meal, cotton seed meal
and wheat bran ,o o the may noyon seed
meal. or you may use chopped oats
in place Of the bran.
Give the COW all the roughage she
will eat up clean. She should have
a small pasture over which she can
range for the purpose Of gathering
some feed, and also in which to take
exercise. Feed her about pound to
a pound and a half Of grain for each
100 pounds of live weight. Vary the
ration according to the flow of milk.

bon bisulphide be useda
There are probably several meth
DDS of keeping weevil out OF grain
which can be practiced. There Is
none so effective, economical or easy
to utilize however, as CARBON OIL
sulphide, and we strongly Suggest
that any one wishing to protect
grain from weevil infestation should
use this method. We have never
tested moth balls for this purpose.
but would not suppose they would
be anything like a S effective as car
bon bisulphide. While we have made
nc Investigations, we would thing
the cost would be greater, as we
feel sure a large quantity would
have to be u sed. Moreover, we do
not think the odor Of moth balls
would leave the grain as readily as
that OF carbon bisulphide. AS you
know, carbon bisulphide does not in
jure the terminating qualities of
grain when properly used. and II 1t Is
exposed to the aid for a considera-
BILE time, the odor entirely leaves
the grain and it can be used for
food purposes with impunity. Car
bon bisulphide is easily applied and
if it's use is repeated in the course
weevils which may have Matched out
after the first application will be
effectively destroyed. .
Carbon bisu1phide should be used
in comparatively tight bins or con-
tanners at the rate of two pounds OF
the liquid to every 1000 cubic feet
OF space to be treated when The
temperature is around 10 degrees. In
comparatively open bins use as much
as six pounds per 1000 cubic feet
Store the grain in the tightest con-
tainer possible and then pour the
carbon bisulphide in shallow pans
and set on top Of the grain. The
carbon bisulphide being heavier than
air will quickly sing into the grain
and destroy the weevil. It Is in.
flammable in the presence of light
and, therefore, it is less dangerous
to use it in the day time.
