Practical horticulture results from North Georgia college
The department reports farmer helpful findings including spraying of north Georgia apple orchards yielding 40 percent salable fruit vs 50 percent unsalable from unsprayed trees.

Potential value per acre estimated at 200 to 400 dollars. Current cultivation methods remain haphazard.

How to Save Georgia Hay Expenditure on Large Pasture Crops
On farms with fifteen to twenty acres of hay, rely on timothy red top tall oat grass and Bermuda for permanent pasture and hay. Sow oats for spring feeding and time cowpeas soybeans or millet hay with corn harvest. Use hay caps to cure hay, canvas caps with eyelets and strings to secure them. Investment equals roughly one ton of mixed hay, yet self-sufficiency saves costs.
