Peter Gives Welcome Robin New
Hope
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

Hope Is blessed, Tor 1t gives
Strength and courage while it lives.
Welcome Robin.
No one with a spark of hope left
will give up. 1t is only when hope
leaves that despair enters. Welcome
Robin was very near to being hope
less when Peter Rabbit found him
in the cedar swamp and gave him
new hope.
81 know" said Peter, ''just what
it means to have to live on frozen
food. I have seen more than one
storm like the one just ended and
have had to go for days with hardly
enough food to keep me alive. l be-
gan to worry about you, Welcome
Robin, just as soon as L discovered
that everything is coated with ice.
That is why [ am over here now"
"It was good of you to come,
Peter. And just seeing you makes
me feel better, but 1 don't see how
you are going to help me any," re-
piled Welcome Robin mournfully.
II must have food. You can go
without food, or with very little,
much longer than [ can. Give me
plenty of food and a shelter and |
can stand almost any weather, l
guess. But 1 must have plenty of
food. There is plenty right here in
this swamp to keep me all winter,
for these cedar trees are covered
with berries, but now that they are
covered with ice there might as well
not be any at all
Peter nodded. 81 know" said he.
But 1 also know that the ice on
these trees isn't likely to last more
than a few days. Then you will be
able to get all the berries you
want"
/ Welcome Robin shook his head.
mo, Peter, L won't" he replied
mournfully.
why not? l should like to know
why not, Welcome Robin?" exclaim-
ed Peter.
Because" replied Welcome Rob
in, II won't be here then"
Where will you be?" demanded
Peter.
"I'n be dead" replied Welcome
Robin more mournfully than ever.
"I'll be dead. I cant live in this
weather more than a day without
food
You won't have to- cried Peter
happily. II know where you can
get all the food you need or want"
Welcome Robin frightened up at
once. Where, Peter Rabbit? Tell
me where?" he cried.
Over in the Old Orchard" replied
Peter.
All the gladness died out of Wei
come Robins eyes. "There can't be
anything there for me-" said he.
There are no berries in the Old Or
| chard, and berries are the only food
left for me in winter"
But L tell you there is food for
you there cried Peter. 81 guess
you don't know Farmer Brown
Boy"
"Of course, know him." retorted
Welcome Robin indignantly. Didn't
I have my nest last spring close to
his house,"
u mean" explained Peter, Il
guess you don't know his goodness
of heart and how he helps his
friends in winter. He has put out
food in the Old Orchard to help all
the birds through these hard times.
If you will go up there at once | am
sure you will find plenty to eat.
"I'n go at once" cried Welcome
Robin and he looked quite like a
new bird.

very largely into the composition
of milk. If the COW. therefore. is
to be Il thoroughly satisfactory pro
Queer, she must be supplied with
relatively large amounts Of avail
able protein. Cottonseed meal is
food very rich in this element, and
it is not desirable that it be fed
alone even to dairy cows. The best
results always follow the use of
say one pound Of cnttonseed meal
and one pound of wheat shorts. A
better ration still would be one
pound of cottonseed meal, one
pound of wheat shorts and one
pound of bran. You might substi-
tute oats in place of the bran, if
you have them. In case you have
neither one of them, use some corn
meal. Corn meal is considerably
more fattening than either oats or
wheat bran, and it is also lower in
its content of protein, but makes
a very good grain to combine with
cottonseed meal, shorts or wheat
bran for the nutrition of dairy
cows. A composition of the charac-
ter indicated will tend to stimulate
the milk flow and enable you to
produce this article at the lowest
practicable cost.
There is no advantage to be
gained from feeding sour milk to
hogs. 1t is just as easy to feed it
to them when relatively fresh. OF
course curdled milk possesses good
digestible qualities, but the fresh
milk makes a sanitary and palat-
able ration, and is more easily as
simulated than the sour milk. I'm
der the circumstances, the largest
and most uniform gain will always
be made by giving hogs fresh milk.

What About Cotton Raising in 1923?


Good prices for cotton will doubt
less urge every Georgia farmer to
cultivate some cotton, but how
much? The times appear to be get
ting better in the lower sections of
Georgia, Alabama and other Gulf
states. l heard a Mississippi senator
say his state made an astonishing
crop of cotton las compared to some
previous years-with boil weeviD in
1922. He said they got the cotton
planted just as early as possible,
and they worked it INCREASINGLY. and
somehow it happened to hit, etc.
/ have reached the conclusion
that we must make an intensive
crop, on fewer acres of land, if we
expect to make any money with cot
ton planting in upper Georgia dur
ing the coming year. Start the plant
ing as soon as the spring opens and
work it all the time until the cot
ton plants will fruit early. l have
been hoping that the boil weev1l
might be played out. as did the
grasshoppers in Kansas. But may
be they will conclude to stay.
There was a time in Georgia, be-
fore I was born, that grasshoppers
were a pest, but they were soon
eliminated by vigilant farmers, as
old,timers told me about it. I am
hoping the boil weevils will seek
another country, ere many moons
shall wax and wane." But will they
do it,.
I shall believe until it proves a
failure, that cotton must be planted
early and worked without ceasing
and stimulated with suitable ferti-
lizers until the early crop is matur-
ed. Small acreage, well worked.
We have been blowing OCCASION
ally, quite long enough, and COM
mon sense dictates that farming, to
be made to pay, has to be worked
skilfully as well as constantly, for
profit. Otherwise, farm lands are
going to become a drug on the mar
ket in our old Georgia.

cotton you would recommend
for this section Of Georgia for
best yields. My farm is just in
the edge OF the wiregrass sec
ton. The land was in wheat
last winter, and in peas and vel
vet beans this summer.
There is no one best variety OF
cotton adapted to your section OF
Georgia, but there are several stand
ard sorts. the use of which, if prop
erly emphasized at this time. will
cradle our farmers to produce cot
ton of a satisfactory staple. We be-
lieve the cultivation Of these Varie'
ties on a community basis will prove
to be a worthwhile undertaking on
the part Of our people. Varieties OF
cotton which WELD a very high per-
centage of lint are unsatisfactory,
and hence should not be cultivated.
: We make this statement deliberately
after wears of careful study and in
vestigation. It is based on the &C
cumulated results of sixteen years
of experience here in Georgia. so
that it should have some basis OF
merit.
The varieties that have proven
the most profitable from the stand
point of yield and gross returns per
acre to the farmer are College No, 1,
some of the strains of Cleveland
Big Boil, particularly the Piedmont,
Covington Toole, Cooks and posi-
bly, Poulnott. Covington Toole is
adapted to cultivation in those sec
tons where wilt disease has proven
most destructive. This variety is
quite resistant to this trouble, and
it is for this reason primarily that
we recommend its cultivation upon
lands infested with the fungus
which produces wilt disease. Col
lege No. and Cleveland Big Boil
are the best sorts to use where the
land is not infested with wilt disease.
These varieties, if properly selected,
will yield a fiber of about one inch
in length. They are very similar in
many characteristics, and will make
about the same yield. We have
found College No. 1 to be distinctly
earlier than the Cleveland Big Boil,
and that is a very material advan-
tage under boil weevil conditions.
The long staple sorts, which are
often recommended for use, have
not, according to our experience,
justified their cultivation on the
average farm. Our reasons for
reaching this conclusion are due to
the fact that these varieties have
not made as large a yield as the
early standard sorts mentioned
above.
The market up to this time has
Disseminated sufficiently between
one inch and one and one-quarter
inch staples to make the cultiva-
ton Of the long staple varieties as
pIOI1ldDle 10 the farmer as the O1Ies
inch sorts. Our trouble in Georgia
is that we are attempting to cult
vate' entirely too many varieties of
cotton, a large number of which are
possessed of no particular merit. On
his account, there has been a fear
Jul admixture of varieties in our
fields, and it has tended to lessen
he length Of staple and possibly the
'pirality of the fiber. We are MAX
ng' tremendous effort now to
come back" this situation by en-.
ieavoring to get our farmers to
concentrate on the cultivation of
standard varieties of cotton. II we
IAN do this, we can add about one
cent per pound to the value of our
cotton crop, and undertake to re-
pair the deterioration in staple which

writes: Is this section adapted
for raising lima beans, and
which kind is best to plant?
There is a difference of opinion as
to the possibilities of cultivating
lima beans id this section of Geor-
gia. We do not think that the Cul-
tivation of this crop on a CONNER
cial scale has been very generally
tried out in this state as yet. Lima
beans can be grown in the garden
with every success. 1t has been our
policy here at the college to plant
them early in the season. There are
two distinct kinds Of lima beans, as
you doubtless know: The bunch lima
and the pole lima. We have al
ways planted the bunch lima earlier
than the pole lima. There are, Of
course, two kinds of pole lima
beans. One yields very large seed
and the other a relatively small seed.
The smaller seeded sort has been eX-
tensively cultivated in this state,
and it has much out-yielded the
larger seeded sort. 1t has proven
most desirable for cultivation in all
other respects. It Is known as the
Sieva or North Carolina bean. 1t is
very sweet, and may be cooked and
used either when green or when
fully matured. We have no trouble
in keeping them through the winter
satisfactorily provided they are not
shelled out. In any event, if weevils
did get into them. they could be
kept under control by the use of
carbon bisulphide.
We generally plant pole, or bunch
beans in early April. The paintings
may be continued until July 1. These
beans fruit early and continue grow
ing until frost occurs in the fall. If
one desires to keep them fruiting
the beans must be picked off as they
ton. One planting lima beans for
the first time should engage in the
enterprise on a rather small scale.
There is much yet to be learned
about the cultivation of this crop,
Liberal fertilization is of course de
sirable. The beans should be planted
from ID to 3 feet apart. Thin to
inches in the drill. Stalking beans
is quite an undertaking, and adds
considerably to the cost of a crop
Of this type. 1t takes beans from
eight to ten weeks in which to de-
velop properly. The Sieva bean may
be planted in corn with satisfactory
results. This provides something
on which the vines can climb and
so find support without having to
stake them. The larger sort must
be planted with the eye of the bean
| bearing down into the soil. If this
| is not done. a satisfactory stand will
| not be obtained. A few of our farm
ers in this vicinity who planted lima
beans this year on areas of. some
size reported quite satisfactory re-
suits. We think the yield obtained
higher than could be anticipated UNI
der field conditions.
