The Talbotton New Era notes that Sen
ator Underwood, of Alabama, is receiving a
great boost for the democratic nomination
for president next year and adds IF he
should be nominated the south would again
get on the map politically after having been
in the background since the civil war Mr..
Underwood's suggested candidacy has been
favorably received in all sections OF the
country and there is little doubt that at this
time he is the most favored OF all the men
who have been mentioned. Here in Georgia,
it seems, he will have very little opposition.
Practically all of the newspapers are favor
able to his candidacy.

Strawberries.

The Triton Gazette which is always on
the alert for something which will better
conditions in this section of wonderful posi-
bites, says:
Some idea OF the money that pours in
to Florida from the little appreciated Der
nv may be had from the statement that
growers at Plant City had received $751;
600 from their strawberry crop this sea-
son I'D to the close of the past week.
Yet so many OF our people lose the OPP
portuntv TO make easy money from this
berry here. where it would come to
market lust as the Florida berry goes
out Instead Of raising berries to sell
our people buy them
In Terrell county two years ago SO or
more acres were planted in strawberries, and
the growers were looking forward to large
and profitable crop this season. They ex-
pected to begin marketing berries early in
March, but the freeze in February blasted
their hopes by destroying the early fruit, and
still further damage was done by the ex-
tremey cold spell of weather in March. Up to
that time the prospects were unusually prom
isng, and the growers were in high spirits.
While their ardor has been somewhat chill
ed they still have faith in the strawberry as
a money crop, and expect better things in
the future While they have not had the
benefit of the high prices paid for early ber-
ries they will make shipments later, and be-
1ieve the prices will be remunerative.

PLANNING FOR FALL PULLETS
Il 10 Well to Figure on at Least Five
Eogs for Every Fowl Going Into
Laying House.

How many pullets are you planning
next fall7
At this time of the year, according
to w. H. Allen, extension specialist
in poultry husbandry Of the New Jer-
sey state agricultural college, every
poultryman should start planning for
the number Of pullets that he ex-
poets to put into the laying quarters
next November.
Too often the poultryman finds when
he goes to I'LL his house with pullets
that he has not the number that he
needs to all It, and a. a result often
carries over too many hens which will
not pay him nearly as well from
market egg standpoint as good early
Matched pullets.
II one is Matching his own eggs. It
Is well to count on at least five eggs
for every pullet that Is to 60 In the
laying house. Figuring on the expecta-
ton Of a 90 per cent hatch and also
on the assumption that for every pull
let that Is Matched there will be one
cockerel. 1t will take four eggs for
every pullet that Is Matched.
From records kept by poultrymen q
10 to 20 per cent mortality Is to be
expected in rearing the pullets; there
fore, a good poultryman figures five
to six eggs for every bird that Is to
be put In the laying house the next
fall.

NO INDEMNITY PAID SCRUBS

Under revised regulations, effective

cation Of tuberculosis, no federal In
demnity will be paid for scrub bulls.

scrub and grade bulls in the same class
with meat animals for which the sal
wage obtainable by the owner depends
largely on their condition and mar
ket value.
This new provision reflects the at
titude Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture that scrub and
grade bulls are undesirable for breed
ing purposes, and that they are not
entitled to be classed as breeding
stock. In the case of purebred bulls,
for which federal indemnity is paid
under the provisions of the regula-
lions, description of animal together
with registry number must be supplied
to the appralsing officer.

PLUMs NEED LITTLE PRUNING
Tests Covering Number Of vears win
Several Varieties conduetsd
at Geneva station.

VERY little difference was noted In
the behavior of heavily pruned plum
trees and trees receiving much less
pruning, in tests conducted over .
number of years with several standard
varieties Of plums. on the grounds Of
the New York agricultural experiment
station, at Geneva. In the opinion Of
the station horticulturists, most vsrie-
ties Of plums require but little pruning
subsequent to the proper shaping Of
the trees after they are pruned.
Ten varieties of plums were used In
the tests. including Abundance. Brad
shaw, Burbank, De Soto. Grand Duke,
Wayland, Pottawattamie, Refine
Claude. Shropshire and italian Prune.
Referring to these tests, the station
specialists say: practically the only
difference between the trees subjected
to these two styles Of pruning was
that the little-pruned trees had larger
and broader heads. The heads on the
little-pruned trees. too. were more
symmetrical than those which had
been given heavier pruning. The In
creased size. however. In no way 70

DAIRY.
DAIRY COWS NEED MINERALS
Lime and Phosphorus Particularly Re-
quIred, According to Ohio
station Tests.

That milk cows need more min
erals, particularly lime and prospho-
rus, than Is commonly found in their
feed, Is the finding Of recent feeding
tests at the Ohio experiment station.
The best feeds to supply these ele-
ments are clover hay, alfalfa hay, soy
bean hay and wheat bran. If plenty
Of one or more Of these is not given
In the daily feed, 1t will be wise to
add about one pound of fine ground
limestone and two pounds Of spe-
cially prepared bone meal to each 100
pounds Of grain mixture.
An increased flow of milk may not
be noted at once, but the good effects
are in the prevention Of future de-
crease In milk production. The min
erals may make their best showing
In the following year.
The two elements most likely to be
lacking are calcium and phosphorus.
Limestone carries calcium, and bone
meal carries both calcium and phos-
phorus. When these are combined in
the feed while the COW is dry, 1t Ia
found that she will store enough to
increase production still further dur
ing her next milking season.

SUPPLY COWS MORE PROTEIN
Bran, LInseed oIimeal and cottonseed
Meal VIII Furnish Necessary
Ingredients.

Homegrown feeds for dairy cows,
unless there Is an abundance of clio
yer, alfalfa or soy-bean hay. do not
carry enough protein to produce milk
most economically. according to dairy
authorities at Ohio experiment station.
The addition Of such feeds as bran,
linseed oilmeal and cottonseed meal
to the ration will supply the necessary
protein and assist In the digestion of
the homegrown feeds.
When no legume hay Is available
and such feeds as silage, mixed hay,
clover, ground corn and ground oats
are fed, no COW should have less, and
heavy-producing cows should have
more, than 81 pounds Of linseed OIL
meal daily.
Instead Of linseed meal one of the
following equivalents may be fed |:
Cottonseed meal 2 pounds and bran 2
pounds. wheat bran pounds and
gluten feed 2 pounds. wheat bran 8
pounds and oilmeal pounds. oilmeal
pound, cottonseed meal pound and
bran pounds, or distillers' grain 8
pounds and oilmeal l pound. Where
a good legume hay Is fed at least
half the above amount of protein
concentrate should be fed.

GRAIN NECESSARY FOR EWES

RatIons Favored.

Some grain should be fed the breed

clean legume hay and good corn silage
also should make up the ration Keep
salt before them at all times.
Ewes that are thin or run down in
flesh and condition will not be able to
wean strong lambs, nor to store up
reserve to produce a good milk flow.
This Is especially true for the ewes
with twins. Several rations are to
be recommended In proportioning the
grain. A good one Is to use parts
oats. 8 parts corn, and 1 part each

the large colon will usually be empty

As soon as this disease puts In its

the stoutest poults will recover. The
sick fowls require a great deal Of at

LIVE STOCK

COOPERATION IN MARKETING
Frequently Rssults In Larger Net Re-
turns to Producer Than Any
Other Method.


tPrspared By the United States Department
Of Agriculfure.)
In many communities where live
stock Is produced In small lots or large
ly as a side line to general farming,
marketing through cooperative ship
ping associations frequently results In
larger net returns to the producer than
can be obtained In any other way. a
survey made by the United States
Department Of Agriculture shows. The
reason given is that the live stock Is
marketed at cost without deduction
Of a profit as Is done when the pro-
Queer sells to q country drover or
speculator.
In addition to the monetary gain
II Is shown that the producer Is given
an opportunity to compare his own
to compare prices The producer also
learns the size. type and finish In great
est demand because he sells his stock
on the market and not In the country.
Requisites to success in marketing
live stock comparatively are stated to
be a competent manager for the asso-
citation, good business methods and
loyalty on the part Of members. The
manager should have had considerable
experience In marketing live stock and
should stand well In the community
He should possess initiative and be
able to gain and hold the confidence
Of the farmers.
All officers, including the directors,
should assume the same responsibility
as a director of business firm, and
keep themselves accurately informed
at all times regarding the finances Of

The manager and any others trusted
with the handling Of funds should be
under adequate bond for the protection
Of the association.
