Stock Farming in Middle Georgia

Stock Farming in Middle Georgia
L. G., j., PlainView, Texas,
writes: L have three hundred
acres of land in middle Georgia,
and am thinking of starting in
the cattle raising business. Any
suggestions you can give me
as to how to start and the pos
sibilities of the business will be
appreciated.
One starting into the cattle bust
ness in this country should give con-
sideration to two propositions. First
of all, the establishment of satisfac'
tory pastures, and second, the Gull
tiVation of a sufficient amount OF
the land to fill one or more sllos
and produce reasonable amount OF
grain for winter feed. The attain
ment of this end can be successful
ly accomplished in Georgia. Many
grasses are we'll adapted for growth
in this state. 1t takes time, OF
course, to establish them. Carpet
grass, however. does especially well
in the low, moist soils of south Geor-
gia, and Bermuda grass grows sue
cessfully throughout the PIEDMONT
section. If supplementary grasses
and clovers be added to these basic
varieties, good pastures can be pro-
duced and maintained at a reason
able cost.
A variety OF food crops can be cul-
tivated for the production of silage,
We utilize a combination of kaffir
corn and sorghum planted in alter
nate rows. We not only obtain
large tonnage, but a very superior
quality of feed as well. On the red
lands of Georgia, you can grow some
alfalfa. On some of your bottom
lands YOU can cultivate corn success
fully. You may also grow velvet
beans or soy beans on the corn land.
This helps to provide roughage for
winter feeding and also grain at
roo sonahIa cost

Raising Stock in North Georgia
Mountains

O. A. NJ, Port Huron, Mich,
writes: Please give me any aVali-
able information on the posi-
bilities of stock farming IN the
mountains of north Georgia, as
we'll as an idea of land values
general health conditions, etc
Can alfalfa be profitably grown
there?
There are excellent opportunities
for the development of stock farm
ing in north Georgia. The cllmatlc
conditions are ideal for this purpose.
AS YOU doubtless know, the nortn-
arm mart is mountainous and roll
ing in character. Some of the noun
tains are five thousand feet high
All of that section of Georgia north
of Athens is several hundred feet
above sea level. In some parts OF IT,
Bermuda grass and LespedeZa grow
admirably. The land is rich and wei
adapted for the growth OF corn anu
Fundamentally crops needed for the
maintenance of live stock on all
efficient basis. Hence, conditions are
admirably suited for stock Iarn-
ing. The temperatures are equltaple,
and the rainfall abundant and well
distributed. The number of growing
DAYS in this section of Georgia ap-
proximates two hundred.
Alfalfa can be grown in CON
siderable proportion of the land with
success. This is demonstrated by
the fact that we have nearly fifty
acres of it planted here on the. col
iege farm that have given good re-
suits. Most of the land in north
Georgia is red in color. The Cecil
clay type predominates. 1t is the
same character of soil we have here
on our college farm.
Land values vary according 10
LEGATION and improvement. You
would very likely have to pay any
where from $40 to SIS per acre to
secure the type of land a man OF
your knowledge and experience
would be interested in buying.
