GEORGIA NEEDS MORE HOGS

From the best information obtain
able, it would appear that there was
never more desirable time for
Georgia farmers to increase the num-
Der of hogs produced for the mar
ket.
Under the pressure of wartime
demand, Georgia came forward and
increased the number of hogs main
tanned to the astonishing number of
2,071,O 51, as shown by the census re
port of 1920 Accordinglto the Blu
reau of Crop Estimates, this number
has decreased to $4,000 as of Jan
uary LIST, 1924. This is a reduction
of approximately 25 per cent for the
entire State. One county showed an
increase of per cent and one coun-
ty showed a decrease of nearly 40
per cent The downward tendency
in numbers was due to the fact that
the entire United States was over
producing. The price fell rapidly
during this four year period, and the
corn market remained relatively
high. 1t is felt by many authorities
that the downward cycle has reached
the limit and that based on past eX-
perience there should be an upward
trend to the market for the next few
years.
There was an increase in the acre
age of corn planted in the middle
west, but weather conditions have
been unfavorable and at the present
! time a comparatively short crop is
anticipated in that section On the
other hand, Georgia showed mate
rial increase in the acreage devoted
to feed crops and it is probable that
there will be very liberal supply of
feed available for finishing hogs dur
ing the late summer and early fall.
| The fall and spring farrow of pigs
showed a decrease of 10 to 20 per
cent throughout the country. There
is probably a greater decrease in the
South than in the middle west. This,
of course, is due to some extent to
the extreme high price of cotton dur
ing the past year.
The local shortage of hogs is evil
denced by the fact that during the
past 12-months the Georgia markets
have averaged fully $1.00 more per
100 lbs. for hogs than they are bring
ing on the middle west markets. With
the high price of feed and the re-
duced number of hogs in the South
and in increase in the available feed
supply, it would appear that this is
most opportune time for Georgia
farmers to increase the number of
hogs raised.

COMETS COMING IN 1924-1925

Atlanta, Ga.-Twice in 1924 and
six times in 1925 a comet will flash
past the earth. going only about
1900 miles an hour, and if one of
them strikes, nothing will be left but
the charred remains of the earth.
This is the theory of Atlanta scien-
lists who have been studying various
reports received from observatorfes
of the country. The comets are sure
to come, they declare, but the posi-
bility of one of them hitting the
earth is remote.
The eight comets will be visible in
many parts of the United States, it
is believed. They are due in Novem-
Der and December of this year, and
in March, July, August and October
of 1925.
Should one of the comets bump
against the earth, local astronomers
declare, the seas would boil, tidal
waves would dash against the noun
tains, polar ices would melt and fires
and deadly gases would wipe out the
population of the earth. Climatic
conditions would be changed, and
even the shape of the globe might be
altered
In the untold ages of the past, At
lanta scientists of local universities
believe comets have struck the earth.
Such an explanation has been adj
vanced to account for that curious
dash that forms the valley of the
Dead Sea and the Jordan river and
whose continuation has been traced
across the Red sea and into Africa.

HINTS FOR
MONTH OF JULY
By J. H. Wood

Care of the Layers.-A considera-
BILE drop in egg production may be
expected this month in most focks,
and especially in those focks where
production has been heavy for some
months The natural breeding sea
son is over and the poorer layers are
laid out. The hot, dry weather is
oppressive to all feathered birds and
special attention should be given to
the best layers.
Gull out all birds that are moult-
ing. The bird that starts moulting
during or before July is very poor
producer and should be marketed.
Break up the broody hens The
broody hen should be marked and if
she continues to become broody she
should be marketed.
Hens require a great amount of
fresh water during the summer. Wa
ter should be furnished at least twice
a day and should be kept in a cool
shady place.
Birds and premises should be in
spected weekly for parasites. If any
ares found, they should be treated as
recommended in a recent article.
Mash should be left before birds
at all times. If the flock has free
range, no scratch grain should be
given in the morning and not over
eight pounds at night. Corn is a
heat producer and should not be fed
heavily during the summer.
Do not allow birds to- eat cotton
recently poisoned for boil weevils.
A few mulberries are good for
hens, but too many will cause heavy
mortality. If some birds show acute
black colored diarrhoea, they are get
ting too many.
Most fiocks have an excess of
males or inferior males. Such unde-
sirables are eating expensive grain
and producing no income and should
be marketed.
Poultry houses should be made as
cool as possible. All houses should
have ventilation in the rear of roosts
A laying flock should receive a lax.
ative at least once a month. One
pound of EPSON salts to 100 birds
makes a good conditioner. Salts is
best administered in wet mash. One
pound of sulphur added to each 100
lbs. of mash will also help to keep
flocks in condition during summer
months.
Eggs should be collected at least
once day, kept in a cool place, and
marketed twice week. Now is a
good time to find customers for good
fresh eggs are comparatively scarce
Short courses, poultry meetings
etc, are being held in various sec.
lions. A few hours at one of these
gatherings might furnish ideas that
would mean many dollars profit from

your success and they are always glad

FARMS AND FARMING

w. T. Guffin, of near Marietta,

valued at $4,000 on one quarter of
an acre. He is well pleased with the
profit obtained from this crop and
will increase his acreage in potatoes
next season.
A. A. Bishop, of Marietta, is a
strong believer in diversified farming.
He produces cotton at a profit, but
does not use the profits from cotton
production to buy feed with. His
barn is always filled with home grown
feeds.
A. E. Eavenson, of Roswell, has
just harvested a good crop of Grim
son clover seed with home made
seed stripper which he himself made.
Mr.. Eavnson says that he can make
the crimson clover crop profitable for
soil building and seed production pur-
poses.
The heavy spring rains washed j.
L. Blackwells' bottom corn away, but
he has another crop of corn on this
land that is looking very good Mr..
Blackwell thought that the rains had
ruined his corn crop for this year,
but says now that things are not al
ways as bad as they seem.
A. F. Davenport, farmer of Ac-
worth, and president of the Acworth
Board of Trade, says that the far
mers of his community are interested
in their jobs this year and are MAX
ing special effort to produce good
crop.
The Acworth Board of Trade at
their last meeting voted to send four
cotton club boys from the Acworth
territory to Camp Wilkins for one
weeks training in agriculture in Au-
gust. These boys will be accompa-
MED by the County Agent and six
other club boys from other parts of
the county.
To encourage young farm boy or

But during that time he managed
to study the habits. feeding and
habitat of these animals, as well as
secure valuable specimens for the
National Museum. Calculation of the
number of these animals was almost
impossible, due to the fact of their
fapidly shifting their feeding ground.
Dne of the objects of his study was
he procuring of good specimens of
bull caribou to mate with tame rein

bred to produce larger-siZed animal
