Summer Forage Crops For Hogs Glemson College* Feb. 27.?Now Is the time for hog growers to make plana for growing the summer forage crop*, declares L. V. Starkey, head of the animal husbandry division, who recommends bermuda grass and lespedexa for permanent pastures in the Piedmont, carpet grass and lesppdeza on the Coastal Plain area, alfalfa on lands to which it is adapted, and soybeans, cowpeas, and sorghum for the entire state. "The permanent pastures referred to are by no means equal to the forage crops and yet they are necessary; in cases where the forage crops fail or more hogs are on hand than there are available forage crops," says Mr. Starkey. "Alfalfa is one of the best grazing crops but it is hard to get a stand of ulfalfa, and it is so highly prized for hay that farmers usually hesitate about grazing it. Moreover, grazing alfalfa heavily usually shortins its life. "Soybeans are decidedly superior to cowpeas by comparison because they are more palatable and stand grazing better. It is the most satisfactory of all forage crops for the state, and for best results it should be grazed in the green stage. The hogs may be turned on when the crop has made one-half to threefourths of its growth and may be grazed from about the middle of June until the corn crop is ready to bo hogged down. "The sorghums and other carbonaceous grasses and hays are not as good as the legumes and are not recognized as satisfactory grazing crops for hogs." CUT ACREAGE; FERTILIZE TO MARE PROFIT Dr. R. J. H. DeLoach, formerly Director of the Georgia State Experiment Station and now Director of Agricultural Research for the Armour Fertilizer Works, has given out a most interesting and instructive interview dealing with the relation between high analysis fertilizers and the early maturity or harvesting of the crop. This interview from such an acknowledged agricultural leader is of special interest at this time, in view of the fact that the farmers of the Southeast are now busily engaged in the preparation of their fields for planting and the purchase of fertilizers for use on them. It is a known fact that small acreage and more intensive cultivation and fertilization bring about bigger yields and larger profits. Dr. DeLoach's interview on this subject is as follows. "Earlincss may mean harvesting at an earlier date or it may mean only the shortening of the time between planting time and harvest time. When it applies to an earlier harvest, it is also related to v the time of planting. If a crop is planted earlier, and is also properly fertilized, we are sure to have an j early harvest. If the idea is to plant a little later and still harvest at the same time as suggested above, we would have to make use of the most readily available fertilizers to enable the later planting to overtake the earlier planting. "The main idek in quickly soluble high grade fertilizers is to shorten the time between planting and harvesting, and then let the climate, and the nature of the crop determine the time of planting. A long drawn out crop will always be more at the mercy of its natural enemies than one that is in a hurry I to get through the season. If two | or three, or four weeks can. be saved in the time between planting I and harvesting, we have enabled the plant to escape some of the danger to which it is subjected by the longer growing period. "Insects, fungus diseases, wet and dry spells, and other unseen factors help to make the long, drawn out crop unsafe and unde sirable. It must be evident, thereH ,oro; that the tendency in modern fertilizer application should be di rected towards a more completely controlled set of conditions in the*B Rrowth period. At the Ohio Experiment Station, the time between the plantB mg and silking date of com was shortened about 21 days by using the quickly available fer tilizers. This in turn brought the grain to proportionately early maturity. 1 his enabled the crop to escape frost, and also made it much safer from the other enemies SI, corn. At the New Hampshire I Fxperiment Station, Krayhill found that he could shorten very' much the time between planting and blossoming of the tomato plant, but could not shorten the time between blossoming and opening. This indicates in both the Ohio and New Hampshire Stations that the H Quickly soluble fertilizers did their TT\ mostl7 *n the early life of the plants. It was the young plants that could be made to grow faster anr Produce blossoms earlier by a ?Llc!kJy ??luble fertilizer. This is ! j ba?'8 ?n which the higher jjb.? *ertilizers may be used, in addition to the fact that they do help to increase the yield and improve the quality as well as to hf*tfn maturity. Pound for pound ? P,lant f00d wffl prove less H fuf i ?H * Plant food basis, and this is the basis on which every B farmer ought to buy his fertilisers.1' I 'I 1 Livestock Makes Safer Farming More livestock and better livestock makes for safer and sartCr farming. 1 his is a fact whether the fanner grows cotton or tobacco as his cash crop. Of course, this same thing has been said in this column again and again; but here are some cold facts about the value of livestock to the farmer who grows cotton. Below the county agent is using a leading editorial taken bodily from a farjn magazine so the farmer may got these facts first hand: "A recent report of Commissioner of Agriculture Holton, of Mississippi, cogained the interesting information ",ihM-rfne state grew a great crop of cotton last year in spite of the fact thut much attention was given to dairy production.,, The cotton crop of 1920 showed a 85 per cent increase over the crop of 1928, being 1,916,000 bales. At the same time the'1 farmers of the state produced 12,000,000 pounds of buttcrfat. Even ;n four counties where wilk condensates are located there was an increase in cotton production of 60 per cent; and the average increase in cotton production for the thirty-two dairy counties was 80 per cent, or better than the state average. , "These figures support the assertion the Southern Agriculturist has so often made, that the South can go into the livestock business without losing the income from its splendid cash crops. Results of cotton contests reported in Bulletin 862 of the Georgia College of Agriculture show why more cotton rather than less is grown where the dairy cattle are kept. Out of fifty contestants standing highest, 89 of them used stable manure in some amounts while out of the lower fifty contestants only four used stable manure. Furthermore, the contestant who led in yield .used five tons of stable manure per acre. Another important result of keeping livestock in a cottoa country will be better cotton. As Ifc^s acreage is necessarily grown, the crop is better fertilized with stable manure and commercial fertilizer, with resultant improvement in fiber. Mabel Normand Dead Monrovia, Calif., Feb. 23.?Mabel Normand, whose private and film life offered strangely contrasting roles of tragedy and comedy, died in a sanitarium here ati 2:30 a. m. today. She had suffered from tuberculosis since the later months of 1928. Blood transfusions recently resorted to in hope they would strengthen the actress, failed and after an almost imperceptible sinking spell late last night, she died at the Pottenger sanitarium here. Only her secretary, Miss Julia Benson and a night nurse were at her bedside. Lew Cody, her husband was notified shortly after her death. Her mother, Mrs. Mary Normand, and a brother, Claude .Normand, Jr., and a sister, Gladys, of Staten Island, N. Y., also were informed. They telegraphed to Los Angeles that they were leaving immediately for that city. They will make the trip from Columbus, Ohio, to the coast by airplane. If They Said It Now Satnson?I'm strong for you, kid. Jonah?You can't keep a good man down. David?The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Helen of Troy?So this is Paris?

Sore Throat? Don't Gargle This Doctor's Prescription Gives, Quicker, Better Relief. Don't suffer the pain and discomfort of sore throat. Use a doctor's prescription called Thoxine guaranteed to relieve with the very first swallow. Gargles and salves are too slow and if they do relieve, it is usually only temporary. Thoxine has a double action?it relieves the soreness and goes direct to the internal cause. It contains no harmfull drugs and is safe and pleasant for the whole family. There is nothing better to s'op caughing due to irritated throats. Just ask for Thoxine, put up ready for use in 35c., 60c., and $1.00 bottles. Money 'back if not relieved.
