Some Additional South Georgia
Farm PrOblenls

South Georgia is a great empire in
itself. 1t is a relatively new section
OF the state and, therefore, much re-
mains to be done in the way of clear
ing lands and building farm fences.
This fact in itself makes it difficult
to advise extensive changes in pres
emit practices without adding greatly
to the financial outlay, which must
be made at this time. Naturally
with financial conditions such as
they are this is one of the very
things which it is most desired to
avoid. We are firmly convinced
that where one wishes to produce
hogs with the greatest economy At
is necessary that the fields be fenced.
We realize that it is exceedingly diff
f1cult to anticipate the accomplish
ment of this end under existing con-
ditions. To this end an endeavor
has been made to figure out some
plan whereby the farmer may be
ab1e to raaintuin reasonable num-
Der of hogs by only fencing in rela-
lively small sections Of land. This
greatly minimlzes the outlay for
fencing whit h would otherwise be
necessary and seems to present and
outline plans which are wholly feas-
ible into Immediate. practice.
The system recommended below
should, of course, be recognized
wholly as anfelnergency proposition,
for naturally airy, farmer who looks
forwerd to handling hogs extensively
and on a grazing basis will find it
necessary to- get his entire farm I'M

I want the analysis of a high
grade fertilizer for corn and cot
ton for pimply sandy land
What about Arcadian sulphate
ammonia?
The pimply land to which you re-
fer is, no doubt, known technically
as the Triton Sandy Loan. This is
an excellent type of soil, in fact, one
of the very best in south Georgia,
and, for that matter, in the state.
This land is in excellent physical
condition and if we'll enriched with
vegetable matter and suitably fer
tilted will make good crops of corn.
Under the conditions prevailing at
this time it is best to plant corn on
the bottom lands as far as possible,
This is due to the great need of corn
for an abundant water supply. In
your part of Georgia we would plant
corn in a deep furrow and work the
soil to it throughout the growing
season. A part of the fertilizer may
be put under the drill row at the
time the corn is planted. If you ex-
pect to use, say 500 pounds per acre,
do not put more than 100 to 200
pounds under the corn and the re-
malnder as a side application after
NAAS va II 4Aebo 1SclC1ISu d Height, say OIL
about II to Is inches. Putting the
side application on later would prob
ably not stimulate the crop to the
extent you desire.
For your section we would advo-
cate the use Of a formula containing
3.5 to per cent nitrogen, 8 to 10
per cent phosphoric acid, and 3 to
4 per cent potash. No doubt you will
think this is very high grade fer
tilizer. and so it is, but we believe
in the end it will be found to be the
most economical. You can use Area
dian sulphate of ammonia in the
preparation of this formula if you
wish. 1t makes very little difference
what carriers of plant fodo you use if
they furnish you the available plant
food in the cheapest form. To pre-
pare formula of the character sug-
gested you would have to use high
grade material. If you mix together
1850 pounds of 16 per cent phos-
phate, 400 pounds of kainit, and $50
pounds of high-grade Arcadian sui
plate you will have a fertilizer ap-
proXimating the percentages sug-

Cropping Plan for a Four-MuIe
South Georgia Farm Operated
with Share CrOppers

The 40 acres in the wages crop
could not be handled by one man
and one mule, but since 81 acres
is in small grain and Is acres is in
grazing crops, the work could be
done by using all four mules at
times. Extra labor would have to
be hired at planting and harvest
times. This plan can be adapted
to larger farms, if the proportion
Of one wage crop to every three
troopers is maintained.
The optional cash crops and tho
hog grazing crops which were dis.
cussed in connection with the two

give the average size of a share
troopers family. In the absence Of
such figures, we have assumed the
average to be about three adults or
their equivalent. A cropper having
larger family than this would very
likely operate two ploWs or get a
mule and become a renter. Since the
plans are based upon one cropper
to the pillow a family which operates
two plows would count as two crop
pers.
On the basis of three to the family
and using the same standard per
adult, as in the previous calcula-
tions, the crops necessary to main
tain the share troopers would be as
follows:
Maintenance OF Choppers Family
Per PlOw
Corn NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. S IL acres
wheat ................. IL acres
Garden ................ IL acres
This furnishes food for the family
and feed for one cow, three hogs
and fifteen hens.
S.. Feed for One Mule
Corn .......,......... 1-2 acres
Oats 2 acres
If each cropper raised eleven acres
of corn his half would provide for
his own needs, while the operators
share Of 5 1-2 acres would furnish
corn for the mule and have a sur
plus Of two acres. This surplus can
be profitably used as feed for hogs.
Should the cropper be required to
grow the wheat and oats needed for
his maintenance, he would have to
grow the wheat and oats needed
for his maintenance, he would have
to grow double the amount required.
In that case the cropper would have
two acres of surplus oats and tbs
operator would have two and a half
acres of surplus wheat. Neither
would profit greatly from the small
grain. 1t appears that a better sys-
tenn would be for the cropper to
grow what corn is necessary to
maintain him. as much cotton as
he can handle under boil Weevil con-
ditions, and then devote the rest of
his available tinet to other cash
crops. What oats and wheat are
necessary to maintain the farm can
be grown to better advantage by
the operator or by wage hands. The
hog grazing crops and the extra
corn needed for the hogs can also
be grown more profitably by wage
hands.
The following plan suggests a
cropping system in which the prin-
ciples discussed above are applied to
a four-mule farm. De farm is work
ed by three share Choppers and one
wage hand The wages cron NAV
be worked by the operator. Five
sows and their progeny Of fifty pigs
are provided in addition to the cash
crops.

Cropping Plans for Farms Operated
With Share Clippers
The farm which is Operated with
share troopers presents some prob.
lens which are different from those
which confront the operator of q
small one-famuy farm. In the case
Of the cropper farm, the share crop
per received as ipay for his labor
one-half of all that he raises. In the
one-family farm the work is either
done by members of the family or
hired labor. There is very little profit
to the operator from corn, oats or
wheat when raised by share crop
pers. Under this system the cost
of production is materially in
creased. Yet these crops must be
raised in order to provide for the
choppers and their families and feed
for the live stock. Before the boil
weevil came, many farmers pur-
chased all supplies, including hay
and grain, because cotton was more
profitable. Such practice now in
valves too much risk and has been
practically abandoned
The problem that the operator of
a cropper farm now faces is to grow
the food and feedstuffs needed on
the farm and at the same time so
organize the business that the farm
will return a profit. The growing Of
the maintenance crops are necessary
insurance, while the making Of q
profit is essential if the operator
stays in business.

What Mother Earns

That excellent country newspaper,
the West Point (Neb.) Republican
carries the following story in Its
current issue and declares that ever,
newspaper in the land should print
it. We agree, and here it is:
"She never earned any money
she lives on an Ohio farm, but she
lives on almost every other farm.
She is somebody's mother, maybe
your own. She has earned nothing.
No, but during her thirty working
years she has served 432,9S3 meals;
she has made 3,123 garments; $4,000
loaves of bread, $500 cakes, 1882

3,625 jars of preserves; scrubbed
177,725 articles of laundry; and she
has put in 35,839 hours of sweeping

during the coming week when the
college will entertain the Lutheran
Students Union convention and the
N. |. C. A. Conference tournament.
The festivities of this week, while
not being worthy of the prominent
place given to the festivities of last

way.
Incidentally, Decorah will enter
tain between $50 and 200 guests for
more than four days. There will be
two or three representatives from
nearly all of the 21 schools belong
ing to the Students Union. Ten
schools will have basket ball teams
here with substitutes and coaches.
Three schools will have debating
teams and, coaches, and eleven
schools will have representative for
the declamatory contest. Besides the
representatives from the schools,
there will be number of speakers
and a fairly good number of visitors.
As announced last week, the pro-

at ten o'clock and will continue for
four days with something doing at
almost every hour.
For those who like to listen to
good speeches, the Students \ Union
and the debates and declamatory
contest will afford an excellent OPP

besides the outstanding students in
each of the 81 schools belonging to
the Union.
In the line of athletics, the op-

Duck Farm at Oakville

Oakville, Iowa-An interesting ac-
count of a "wild duck farm" located
near Oakville, is related by United
States Deputy Game Warden Harry
Anderson of Davenport, who recently
returned from Oakville.
Although the migrating season for
wild ducks has long since passed, an
estimated number of 10000 ducks are
to be found at Greenland farm, near
Oakville, where the birds are fed by
Allen Green, caretaker of the prop
erty.
A lake Approximately a mile long
on the farm is utilized as feeding
ground for the wild fowl. Adjacent
to the lake is long, narrow drain
age ditch where the ducks have re-
NAMED during the winter months. On
the occasion of Game Warden An
derson's visit to Oakville he wit
messed the feeding of 10000 wild
ducks by Mr.. Green, who has had
charge of the feeding of the birds
all winter.
"a few ears of corn were thrown
out on the ice of the lake by Mr..
Green, said the game warden, re-
Iating the incident. "Green gave a
peculiar call, and in a few minutes
the sky was dark with flying ducks
rising from the nearby drainage
ditch. The. birds greedily ate the
corn scattered on the ice, and fully
10000 birds covered the surface OF
the ice. The ducks were so tame
that many of them flew quite close
TO us during the feeding"
The fact that the drainage ditch
near the lake remains unfrozen dur
ing the winter accounts for the birds
remaining on the farm during winter
weather. According to Anderson, the
caretaker of the farm has already
fed the ducks five wagon loads OF
corn this winter. The birds will In
all probability remain where they are
fed throughout the winter.

twenty-fifth of March. On March
second the Turning Club will give a
demonstration of this work at the
college gymnasium.
In former years the people of De-

has been under the skillful supervi-
sion of Prof. Francis Peterson, and
is prepared to give a better exhibi-
ton than ever before. The program
is elaborate and well proportioned.
1t will include several daring
stunts, many beautiful acts. requir-

The "fly away" and "giant circle"
are simply sensational. Among other
things there will be rollicling clown
acts, difficult pyramids, tumbhng
and diving, an Indian club drill, and
good peppy music throughout.
A delightful entertainments is guar
