Georgia farmers are urged to pause and plan this month before planting. The piece warns against overplanting cotton, urges soil and seed bed preparation, harrowing to manage grass, and using a double-foot bull tongue planter. It notes broader growth in mills, lumber, turpentine, and livestock, with calls to raise grains, cattle, hogs, poultry, and butter to bolster farm prosperity and cotton prices next fall.
The Cultivator asks if smut or plast in corn has a remedy. The reply states corn smut is widespread, appears where corn is grown, but rarely causes loss. It notes a fungus Gisesso causes stem and leaf deformities.
A State Agricultural Department piece extols using thoroughbred sires to improve cattle, sheep, and poultry. It argues buying high quality males, exchanging limited females for strong offspring, and notes Georgia lag in beef cattle compared with sister states. It also covers velvet bean forage value and practical fertilizer calculations for cotton seed meal usage.
A Georgia reader describes velvet bean as a cover crop and forage. Plant in April or May, 3 to 5 beans per hill, 12 to 14 inches apart in 3 foot rows. Cultivate once or twice. Yields averaging 15 to 45 bushels per acre. Vines provide cattle forage or may be turned under in fall.
