GRADY PHARMACY
THE PENSLAR STOR1
The farm demonstration agents of
Georgia Inoculated 21,200 lidgs against
cholera last year with excollent re :
suits.
The State of .Georgia manufactures
the serum and' distributes It at cost
to the fanners of Qeorglu. The plant
at which this serum Is made Is lo
cated at the College of Agriculture.
Its uapaolty Is about one million cubic
centimeters a year, or enough to in
oculate 85,000 one hundred pound
hogs. Muny more, of course, could
be inoculated If they are pigs. At
thlB rate ubout $600,000 worth of hogs
are- protected annually from cholera.
By stopping the disease, of course. Its
spread Is checked and vusUy more
saving Is made than is represented
by the value of the hogs inoculated:
The serum Is offered to the farmer
at 1 1-2 cents per cubic centimeter,
thoughit is probable that a reduction
in price will be made by tho first of
January. At the present rate, the
Inoculation of a 100-pound hog costs
00 cents. Commercial serums lutvo
been sold in Georgia at leBS cost. The
difference in tide cost of the state
serum and the ordinary commercial
serum exists mainly lit the fact that
the state conducts elaborate tests so
that it can guarantee the serum as
being potent, that Is, equal to doing
whatNs claimed for it. It Is the only
way to be sure that the remedy is ef
fective.
An instance, has dome to the notice
of the College of a farmer applying
state-tested serum to a part of his
herd and .commercial serum to the
bnlanfce, with. the result that all treat
ed by state serum were saved aud
ull .'given untested commercial serum
died of cholera.
Some connnurcial serum plants have
bpou shut down by federal authorities
because It bad been found that they,
had spread the foot and moilth dis
ease. Those facts are not mentioned
to Injure worthy commercial concerns,
but to warn farmers that they may
protect themselves and the growing
live Btock Industry of the-state, es
pecially In view of the fact that the
doniand for serum in’the state may
outgrow the present capacity of tho
state plant to manufacture it.
The law provides that serum manu
factured by the state shall be distrib
uted to the fanners through the of
fice of the state veterinarian.
It has not always been possible to
meet the demands for serum in Geor
gia, nor wilt there be a guarantee
that, there will be sufficient manufac
tured by. the state to'meet Its own
demands until the' capacity of tho
plant Is enlarged. The larger the
amount of serum manufactured the
less It will cdst. Therefore, the most
direct and effective means of getting
tested serum -at 'k lower cost will bb
by obtaining a/larger appropriation
j from the state.
i .Meanwhile, It Is the right of: every
citizen of Georgia to have’-some of
the serum which die' state mamifac-’
tures, backed by its guarantee, if it
is possible to get it. Should a farmoi
not he able to get It and other -serum
is recommended, he should ascertain
that it has been tested on hogs affect
ed with cholera before using it.

TESTING CEREALS IN
SOUTH GEORGIA
John R. Fain, Professor of Agronomy,
Georgia State College of Agr.
On account of the widely different
soil and climatic conditions 111 north
and south Georgia, the College has
been fortunate In getting the assist
ance and cooperation of the cereal
department of the tlnlted States De
partment of Agriculture, In carrying
on experimental work on two ten-acre
plats hi south Georgia, one being lo
cated In Brooks and the other in Tur
ner county.
On these two tracts tests will be
made of different varieties of wheat,
barley, oats and rye. Among the va
rieties of wheat being tried Is the
Philippine wheat, recommended high
ly for trial under conditions existing
in southern United States.
CASH
DIVIDENDS
ON GOODS
YOU BUY
By HOLLAND.
S ounds good, doesn't it?
And-the best of it is it is
true. These cash dividends
are paid on every dollar you
spend, provided you spend
wisely and buy goods ' that
the umber believes in so
strongly that he advertises
them.
Advertised goods are not
always the uheupest so far as
the amount asked for them
is concerned. But they are
INVARIABLY THE BEST.
And this makes them cheap
est when all things are con
sidered.
When you buy for the same
money a better article than
you have been buying you get
a cash dividend on youx pur
chase W lieu you pay'wss for
an article of the same quality
y6u get a cash dividend.

ANCESTRAL RECORD
Milton’P. Jarnagln, Professor of Ani
mal Husbandry, Georgia State
College of Agriculture .
Soda’s Jap, a Jersey bull owned at
the Georgia State College farm, has
the distinction of being the grand
son of the two Imported bulls holding
first and second record for offsprings
having register of merit. Interested
Prince, the holder of first honors, Ib
sire of Interested Sada’s Queen, the
mother of the bull in question. On the
paternal side the bull was sired by
Jap, who holds the second place fo>
records of register of . merit. To at
tain register of merit a Jersey cow
must have produced at least 500
pounds of butter fat In a year.
It will thus be seen that ^ Georgia
iias been fortunate id getting some
of its foundation dairy stock.
Some Steps Georgia Farmers Should
Take to Get Into Live Stock Business
Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
■wr
It is better for a community to 1 spe
cialize on a given breed of animals
so that carload shipments to market
will he of uniform types of animals
and, therefore, command the best
prices.
With this point In view, concerted
action should he taken by a comniun-
ity to obtain the desired breed, siy so
doing the cost will be reduced to a
minimum. More frequently than not,
one can find'no one person In each
community who is able or willing to
put up the money to purchase a pure
bred sirq. But it is easier and more'
practical to get a group of farmers to
enter into the expense. This, should
apply not only to one kjnd of live stock
but to all lines.
In marketing the live stick those
who co-operated In breeding a given
type of animal should co-operate in
marketing. The more animals that are
marketed at a time, the better the
shipping facilities and, therefore, low
er cost. Where there is union of ship
pers. there will be strength in deal
ing with every marketing problem. '
In pork production, especially in the
southern part of (he state, there is
heed of co-operative enterprise in cold
storage and curing of meats to get
tho most revenue out of the business
for the farmer, especially where city
ice plants are not in' easy , reach’ and
offer service at reqsonable cost. To
this end the services of a government
expert have been obtained for design
ing a practical and economical plant,
announcement of 'which will be made
later. ■ - V
Co-operation, of course, is needful
in eradicating ticks, in suppressing:
animal diseases of various kinds.
One of the greatest need# of the
live stock Industry In Georgia is' a
competent veterinarian Jn at least ev
ery county fti the state. This 1b the
aim of the State College of Agricul
ture and Its purpose in asking the
legislature for an appropriation by
which d veterinary degree course’can
he offered at the College.
Aside from these main considera
tions,, the farmers of Georgia must
learn what crops can be most econom
ically grown' In each commtinlty, what
combination of rations he must fSed,
what quantitltes and In whuf’forms.
The average cotton farmer has much
to learn in' this respect, and' there are
few farmers of ally class who would
not profit from tho latest and most
practical infornfation of the kind that
can lie carried *to them by the men
sent-’out In tile extension-demonstra
tion work of the College, or in instS
tutes conducted by the College, or at
the short course at the College,
