BLACK, COMMISSIONER WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 2017 VOL. 100, NO. 5 COPYRIGHT 2017 100 Years Ago Today: A snapshot of farm life in Georgia when the Market Bulletin began By Sharon Dowdy In 1917, Georgia farmers were being affected by things out of their control, namely World War I and a tiny pest called the boll weevil that was just beginning its destructive path through cotton fields. The majority of farmers in 1917 worked the land with the help of a mule, a trusty draft animal that could withstand Georgia's hot summers and, in some parts, rough terrain. A small farm relied on one mule to work about 10 acres of cotton. According to the 1910 U.S. Census of Agriculture, just shy of 16,000 mules (valued at an average of $170 each) were at work across the state. Sixty-four percent of farmers owned mules, while just 30 percent owned horses. The average value of a farm, including equipment, was $1,995. This was a 95 percent increase from 1900 numbers. The average value of farm land was $13.74 per acre, but farms in 10 North Georgia counties were valued between $25 and $50 per acre. Seventy-one percent of Georgia acreage was devoted to farming. The average farm consisted of 92.6 acres. Cotton was king with 4.9 million acres devoted to the crop at a value of $127 million, but the boll weevil would soon knock it off its throne. The boll weevil first appeared in Thomasville in 1915, and cotton production began declining rapidly. By 1917, every cotton-producing county in Georgia reported the boll weevil, and production was down by 30 percent. Many stories are recorded from people who grew up on farms in Georgia who collected the weevils for one penny each. Agricultural scientists at the Georgia Experiment Station in Griffin conducted research to help farmers fight the boll weevil. One UGA publication recommended "starving" the boll weevil by destroying cotton stalks immediately after harvest. Another provided a guide for how to grow cotton in spite of the boll weevil. Other Georgia Experiment Station publications from 1917 focused, as they do today, on corn and cotton variety trials. The station also conducted trials on soybeans, cowpeas and velvet beans. Researchers planted and harvested the crops and reported back to farmers which varieties perform best. The best cotton variety was pegged as Cleveland Big Boll, which was the most extensively grown at the time. The second best performer was Covington-Toole. Other leading crops at the time, in order of their importance, were corn ($37 million value/3.4 million total acres), That was then, this is now Number of farms in Georgia in 2012 . . . . . . . 42,257 Land in farms . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9,620,836 acres Average farm size . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 228 acres Harvested cropland . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3,609,788 acres Market value of ag products sold . . . . $9.26 billion Total farm production expenses . . . . . . $7.5 billion cotton seed ($23 million), sweet potatoes and yams ($4.3 million), oats ($4.2 million /411,664 total acres), and hay and forage ($4 million). Peanuts, now one of Georgia's top five commodities, were grown on just 160,317 acres. Most of these acres were in the southern half of the state with the leading producer being Brooks County. A fourth of the crop was grown in Brooks, Decatur, Grady and Thomas counties. Other crops of the time were dry peas (210,315 acres), wheat (93,065 acres), sugar cane (37,046 acres) and tobacco See SNAPSHOT, page 14 The Wearing of the Green Georgia House Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee Chair Tom McCall, R-Elberton, wears his green 4-H jacket in honor of 4-H Day at the Capitol Feb. 8, the same day the Georgia Agribusiness Council hosted its annual Legislative Breakfast in Atlanta. "If it wasn't for me coming up in 4-H from the 5th grade, if the House is anywhere to be I wouldn't be there," McCall told legislators and agribusiness leaders gathered for the breakfast.

Black, Commissioner Reader Profile: Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black Commissioner Gary W. Black with the Market Bulletin archive. By Amy H. Carter Editor On Feb. 11, 1976, readers of the Farmers and Consumers Market Bulletin first made the acquaintance of one Gary Black, a high school senior serving as state president of the FFA. The annual observance of National FFA Week was nigh, and Black was invited to write a guest column for the paper to mark the occasion. His topic: the future. It was a humble discourse on the opportunities that FFA had afforded Black to that point in his life. His aspiration at the time was to be a teacher of agriculture. There was no bold pronouncement of any intent to be the next commissioner of agriculture for the state because, frankly, that idea was still three decades in the offing. "I didn't plan that," Black said. The decision to offer himself for election as Georgia's 16th Agriculture Commissioner came from a desire to be a strong voice for the future of the state's agriculture industry. "We had a lot of encouragement from a lot of people," he said. It was encouragement that started long before his senior year of high school. "I think you just have to be grateful for the opportunities that come your way," Black said. "But for parents who supported me and an ag teacher who believed in me, I would never have had the chance to write the first article (in the Market Bulletin). But for the opportunity to write that first article my name wouldn't be on the masthead (of the Market Bulletin). It all links together." One of the many responsibilities that come with being Commissioner of Agri- See GARY W.

By Arty Schronce Even the clearest photographs and most detailed documents give an incomplete picture of the past. As I looked at advertisements for flowers and plants in copies of the Market Bulletin from the 1930s, I tried to envision the gardens back then. It was like looking at the Grand Canyon through a keyhole or reconstructing the Age of the Samurai by reading haiku. The ads gave a peek but brought as many questions as insights. For example, I was sur- prised at the number of people offering lilacs and dahlias, generally known for doing better farther north than here. And there were numerous ads for gooseberries, a more north- erly crop. Only last month I advised someone asking about them to try another fruit. Obviously all of these were growing well enough for people to enjoy and of- fer to others 80 years ago. Perhaps the ones offered were more heat tolerant strains that are now un- common or unknown in the nursery trade. Perhaps summers were cooler and moister then. Perhaps we have heard for so long that they don't do well here that we stopped trying. Dahlias were among the most popular flowers offered in the Market Bulletin during the 1930s. This is Little Beeswings, a variety that was introduced in 1909 and was lost to the gardening world until a gardener shared it with a commercial I was not surprised to grower. (The vase is an old Anacin bottle.) read "old-fashioned" as a description for some plants. There was, and still is, an appeal in the charm and du- rability that is often associ- ated with the term in regard to plants. I was surprised to see ads for rock garden plants, the idea of rock gardening not fitting into my notion of what Georgia gardeners, especially ones in rural areas, would be in- terested in or even aware of. However, Staci Catron, di- rector of the Cherokee Gar- den Library at the Atlanta Spider lilies were among the many bulbs History Center, informs me offered in the Market Bulletin during the that rock gardens were all 1930s and are still being offered today. the rage in the 1930s. They are not as common in commerce as During the Great De- some other bulbs, but are often shared pression people were among flower lovers. impoverished but their gardens were not. If you think of the 1930s as a black-and-white Dorothea Lange photograph, please remember that people then ap- preciated color even if their cameras couldn't capture it. If the ads are any indication, gardens were bursting with color and there was a wider selection of plants available than I thought. The different offer- ings in a typical issue are too numerous to list here. We can never know the exact reasons that prompted people to place an ad in the Market Bulletin. Some did it to earn a little extra money. Some, perhaps realizing that money was scarce, were will- ing to exchange one thing for another. The abbreviations "exc." and "exch." were so common they were never explained. Consider this ad from April 1934: 30 dif. pot flowers, such as begonias, geraniums, fuchsias, 5 eac. one of each $1.25 or exc. for garden seed, cabbage, onion plants, cornfield beans. Minnie Louise Willis, Talking Rock. I recently had the privilege of speaking with Elizabeth Engelhardt. She is the John Shelton Reed Distinguished Professor of Southern Studies at the University of North Carolina and the author of several books, including A Mess of Greens, published by the University of Georgia Press. What brought me to her was her scholarship on the let- ters between garden writer Elizabeth Lawrence and the people, usu- ally farm women, who corresponded with her through the southern state market bulletins. If you have internet access, please check out https://southern- spaces.org/2012/forgotten- locavores-letters-and-litera- ture-market-bulletins. I shared some of the things I was reading in the Market Bulletin with Dr. Engelhardt, including the many exchange ads. "People talk about `the sharing economy' today, but that is nothing new," Engel- hardt said. How true. We often think Blue Roman hyacinths offer the same fragrance and refreshing color as "improved" larger varieties of hyacinths, but do so with a lot more charm. They were offered by gardeners in the Market Bulletin during the 1930s. They are still we discovered the world or are the first to come up with an idea. We fail to recognize that "heirloom" and "heritage" are just new labels for "old-fashioned" and "old- available today and are worth seek- timey." Long before "locally ing as they are usually only available grown" was a movement or through gardeners sharing or from a marketing slogan, it was specialty bulb dealers. common sense that tomatoes grown down the road were fresher and tastier than those shipped from 2,000 miles away, or that plants grown and proven by gardeners like yourself in your own state might perform better than those from elsewhere. Engelhardt discussed the interactions between those advertising and those re- sponding. The bulletins were not just a marketplace, but Mock orange was named for its wonderful fragrance. It was frequently offered by advertisers in the Market also a way to connect with others and to share knowledge and experience, some- Bulletin during the 1930s, but is not times with people of a differ- common in Georgia landscapes today. ent class, educational level or race. The more we talked the more I started focusing on the gardeners rather than the gardens. Consider these ads from 1933: As long as supply lasts, one tuber large white, dble. decorative type dahlia will be sent for 4 in stamps to cover mailing. A.D. Todd, Sarah. Folks come see my selection of rare and good flowers, shrubs and trees. Wm. C. McGinnis, Carey Park, Atlanta. River Car Line, Rt. 7 I want to know more about these people. The plants, however rare, seem less interesting than these two sharers. The same is true of the others who reached out through the Market Bulletin and who continue to do so. I am happy to be able to share a few thoughts through this column and am especially proud to appear in this centennial edition. Thank you for being a reader and thank you for all your comments, ideas and feedback. Let's keep the sharing alive. -Arty Schronce is the resident gardening expert at the department.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 2017 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov Agriculture at the Capitol PAGE 9 Photos by Blane Marable | blanemarable.com Georgia agriculture was the talk of the Capitol in February during a series of events honoring youth and adults engaged in the state's No. 1 industry. "This is always an occasion where I know many members of the General Assembly look forward to visiting with you," said Gov. Nathan Deal in his address to the Georgia Agribusiness Council's Legislative Breakfast Feb. 8. "We acknowledge and understand that agriculture is the primary economic driver that keeps our economy going." A number of high-ranking state leaders followed Deal to the podium to voice their support for Georgia's farmers and agribusinesses. They included Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, R-Ga.; Speaker of the House David Ralston, R-Blue Ridge; Senate Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Chair John Wilkinson, R-Toccoa; House Appropriations Committee Chair Terry England, R-Auburn; House Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee Chair Tom McCall, R-Elberton, and Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black. Deal and Black also addressed young winners of local, regional, state and national equine events on Feb. 9 when the Georgia Agricultural Commodity Commission for Equine hosted its 8th Annual Equine Day at the Capitol. Deal, a former horseman, praised the youth for their discipline and achievement. Black, whose own children showed livestock, praised the parents in the crowd for making the tremendous investments of time and money in their children's futures. Georgia Farm Bureau Day at the Capitol was Feb. 15, and the legislature celebrated FFA Day at the Capitol Feb. 21. Bryan Tolar, president of the Georgia Agribusiness Council Georgia Gov.

Lairsey Waycross 912-285-5149 Snapshot: Cherries were a popular crop in 1917 Continued From Page 1 (2,025 acres). A little less than 6,500 acres were devoted to growing rice, a crop said to have been brought to the south from Africa by enslaved workers. Peaches, nectarines, apples and pecans topped the list of Georgia-grown fruits. The state's orchards were filled with 10.6 million peach and nectarine trees, 1.9 million apple trees, 357,323 plum and prune trees, 277,658 grape vines, 262,982 pear trees and 49,424 fig trees. Much less common today, 18,465 quince trees and 50,723 cherry trees were also planted across the state. Just 75,519 pecan trees were grown in Georgia at the time. (Pecans are now among the top 10 commodities by value. Georgia has ranked first in pecan production nationwide for the past 20 years.) Georgia poultry farmers raised 244,453 chickens. They also raised turkeys, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, pigeons and peafowls. They produced 18 million dozen of eggs. Farmers sold an average of 6.1 million dozen of eggs. Farmers of the time relied on their food crops to feed their families and also bartered with their crops. Dairy farmers in Georgia produced 75 million gallons of milk and sold 3.9 million gallons. They produced 97,564 gallons of cream, 17,286 pounds of butter fat, 27 million pounds of butter and 399 pounds of cheese. Excluding what was kept for home use, dairy products at the time were valued at $6.7 million. Aside from work stock, hogs were the most valuable livestock. Of livestock sold or slaughtered, 97,060 were swine and 211,562 were cattle. -Sharon Dowdy is a news editor with the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. 2015 Georgia Agricultural Commodity Rankings: 1.

Black: Paper is a link to the past Continued From Page 1 culture in Georgia is being publisher of the 100-year-old Market Bulletin. Like many of the bulletin's readers, Black remembers his parents receiving the paper. Like his father before him, Black said he bought and sold items through the Market Bulletin over the years. "I have a couple of buildings on my farm that are from Market Bulletin advertised materials," he said. Also like many readers, Black and his wife, Lydia, have old recipes their mothers clipped from the pages of past issues. "I think for the majority of our readers the Market Bulletin is a link to their heritage," Black said. "I suppose we have quite a few readers who are a generation or two removed from their family making a living on the land, and so they feel like their home wouldn't be a home without having a current issue of the Market Bulletin on the coffee table." That nostalgia for the paper itself has made the bulletin a bit of an anomaly in the publishing industry. For several years the Georgia Department of Agriculture has offered subscribers the option of receiving the paper in digital form only. Fewer than 10 percent of the paper's 40,000 subscribers have elected that option. "It's not just that it's acceptable in print form. It's expected in print form," Black said. "As long as that's what our readership wants that's what we'll continue to do because we are providing a service." WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 2017 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov PAGE 15 50 Years Ago Today: Celebrating Weights and Measures Week Georgians don't have to farm to benefit from the services provided by their Department of Agriculture. In fact, the way most Georgians know Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black is by seeing his name on the inspection stickers affixed to gasoline pumps statewide. Inspectors from the department's Fuel and Measures Division attach those stickers to some 169,000 gas pumps statewide every 18 months after verifying the accuracy of the pumps. But drivers aren't the only ones who benefit from the division's work. Fuel and Measures inspectors verify the accuracy of more than 3,000 large scales annually. These are scales calibrated to weigh objects 10,000 lbs. and heavier, such as those found at truck stops and livestock yards. They also inspect more than 18,000 small scales annually, such as those found at grocery, hardware and feed stores, and pawn shops. Fuel and Measures inspectors check 1,300 commercial propane meters each year, and more than 3,000 high-speed fuel meters in places like airports, truck stops, trucking companies, and wholesale bulk plants. Other duties of the division include inspecting grain moisture meters, compressed natural gas meters, tanks and meters at dairy farms, and firewood sales. March 1-7, 2017, is National Weights and Measures Week.

Soon other newspapers around the state picked it up as a weekly column, and in 1925 the South Carolina Department of Agriculture began printing it as a stand-alone publication. Public Information Director Stephanie Sox remembered waiting for the bulletin to arrive in the mailbox as a child and reading it in the recliner with her father. Today, it is published twice monthly. It is distributed in both print and digital form to nearly 14,000 subscribers. The South Carolina Market Bulletin merges old and new technologies, according to Sox.

Soybean Producers Association. Manning and Smith will represent the state in a leadership development program that includes participants from across the U.S. and Canada. "The Young Leaders program provides training in key areas, including communication and leadership, while growing the leaders' peer network," said ASA Chairman Richard Wilkins. "The Young Leaders program continues N.C. Bioenerg to have an enormous impact North Carolina corn growers will vote Feb. 22 on a six-year continuation of their commodity assessment program. The Board of Directors of the Corn Growers Association of North Carolina is asking that farmers assess themselves at a rate of 1.25 cents per bushel on all corn marketed in North Carolina. The association is involved in the following areas: international and domestic marketing; research and education; grants to Cooperative Extension offices; and legislation that will be helpful to corn growers and other farmers. A 24-member Board of Directors, representing all corn-producing areas of North Carolina, governs the organization's activities. The board also gives support to issues of a local nature that members believe will benefit farmers. Growers may vote at local Cooperative Extension offices from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. All farmers currently engaged in the production of corn, including tenants, sharecroppers or other persons sharing in the production of corn or income from corn, are eligible to vote. A two-thirds favorable vote is required to approve the referendum. If approved, the assessment would be collected by the first handler or purchaser of the commodity from the producer and (See Corn assessment, pg. 2) The board of the Boll Weevil Eradication Foundation of North Carolina has set the 2017 boll weevil assessment at 75 cents per acre of cotton, dropping the fee from $1. The fee supports the foundation's efforts to monitor cotton acreage in North Carolina for any re-introduction of the boll weevil and to respond promptly with eradication treatments if necessary. "This trapping and monitoring program is a great investment for farmers who already have a lot of variables to manage in raising a crop," said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. "Eliminating the boll weevil from our state years ago has allowed us to have a viable cotton crop. We certainly don't want to see the return of this devastating pest, and this program helps us keep an eye on cotton fields in case of any spot re-introductions." Foundation contractors will install and monitor traps from late summer until after harvest and frost. Because the focus of North Carolina's program has shifted from eradication to monitoring, the number of traps in fields has decreased. As such, each trap is critical, and farmers are encouraged to contact the foundation if traps are damaged or knocked down. More than 5,500 traps were placed and maintained (See Boll weevil, pg. 2) y Research Initiative announces grant on not only the soybean inrecipients dustry but all of agriculture. The class of 2017 is exceptional; they are engaged, talented and passionate about agriculture.

Bioenergy Research Initiative recently awarded $1 million in grants for 13 research projects to boost bioenergy opportunities and production in the state. "These grants continue to push our knowledge of bioenergy applications in North Carolina forward, creating the potential for future market opportunities for farmers, agribusinesses and forestry industries," said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. Below is a list of grant amounts, recipients and projects: -- $43,618 to N.C. State University's Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering for the third year of its study of fertilization rates and yield response of the giant reed Arundo donax. The project will focus on collecting field data needed to establish realistic yield expectations and nitrogen fertilization rates under various North Carolina growing conditions. -- $55,835 to the NCSU Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources for "Loblolly Pine Biomass Genetics/ Cropping Study 2016-2017." The project will continue genetic evaluation of loblolly pine varieties with high potential as an energy source. -- $148,804 to the NCSU Department of Crop and Soil Sciences for a project titled "Nutrient Dynamics and Production of Bioenergy Crops in Swine Efflu- ent Sprayfields, 2016-2017." Funding will continue research on the nutrient requirements and uptake of proposed biomass crops grown in a sprayfield environment. -- $148,650 to Carolina Land & Lakes RC&D for the development of "Pellets for Pullets." This expands a previously funded project into areas of the state with a higher concentration of broiler production. Wood pellet (See Bioenergy grants, pg. 3) by Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler Commissioner Troxler This is a particularly newsy edition of the Agricultural Review, and I want to use my column to encourage you to carefully read the articles this mont. The beginning of a new year often ushers in changes in rules and laws across the board, and this year is no exception for those in agriculture. On page 8 of the newspaper, I hope you will pay special attention to two articles that highlight changes involving the Worker Protection Standard and new labeling requirements for products containing 2,4-D or dicamba intended to be used in conjunction with 2,4-D or dicamba-tolerant cotton and soybean crops. The new labeling requirement for dicamba means there is now mandatory training for applicators before they can use this product. A series of classes in February and March will be offered across the state to ensure growers wanting to use these products have access to proper training. We have listed the dates and locations of upcoming classes in the article, and I hope readers will be able to attend. By attending class, growers will be able to earn two hours of pesticide recertification credits in categories N, O, D and X upon completion. New changes to the Worker Protection Standard rules represent the first significant revisions made since 1992. I would strongly encourage farmers to read these changes carefully so you will be up-to-date on requirements involving workers. Changes cover annual mandatory training, the minimumage requirement for pesticide applicators, display requirements following pesticide applications and safety data sheets that must be kept on file, new respirator requirements, the need to add an eye-flushing system when eye protection is required and other items. The article spells out new changes to the rules in more detail, and you can also contact our Structural Pest and Pesticide Division at 919-733-3556 if you have additional questions. We are here to assist with compliance. If there is one thing I have learned over the years, it is to expect change. It is an inevitable fact of life, but it doesn't mean we are ever ready for it. Again, educate yourself so you will be in compliance with any rule changes. It is also worthy to note the Feb. 22 referendum on the continuation of the corn assessment to support the work of the Corn Growers Association of North Carolina involving international and domestic marketing, research and education, grants to Cooperative Extension offices and legislative efforts. It is a busy time of year as growers are attending commodity meetings, repairing equipment and making plans for the upcoming season, but it is critical to stay up on changes involving your operations.

Weathers Commissioner What seemed to be like a carousel turning around and around with regards to naming someone to lead the agricultural industry finally came to a stop when former Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue was picked by the President as United States Secretary of Agriculture. Prior to being nominated for this office, Governor Perdue served on President Trump's agricultural advisory team. I have had the privilege of knowing Sonny for several years now, and I believe him to be an excellent choice for this office. There have been 30 Secretaries of Agriculture since 1889 when the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) was founded, and though some were raised on a farm, only two actually lived and worked in agriculture as adults. Once confirmed, Sonny Perdue will be number three. He grew up on a farm in Perry, GA and is formally trained as a veterinarian.

Calving season is getting started in many cattle herds around the state and can be a very intense time for producers. Here are a few simple management techniques that will help ensure a successful calving season. Nutritional management Adequate nutrition is critical dur- ing the last two months of gestation since most of the fetal growth occurs during this time. Keeping heifers separate from the mature cow herd is important from both nutritional and Hbreeiefedrisngarme asntialgl egmroewntinsgtaannddpohinatvse. higher nutrient requirements than mature cows.

Avoiding calving difficulty starts long before calving season with proper bull selection, proper heifer development and culling of females with extremely small pelvic openings. A calving ease bull should be a 60-pound live calf is better than a 100-pound dead calf still holds. Place cows and heifers ready to calve in a pasture where they can be easily viewed and checked often. Research indicates that nighttime cattle feeding will result in most of the calves being born during daylight hours. It is a good idea to pay special attention to first-calf heifers since they are the most likely members of the herd to experience calving difficulty. prevent infections. This is particularly important in heavily used calving grounds. Calves should be ear tagged at birth with a unique identification number so that they can be matched to their dams and properly identified for herd records. Calf birth date, sex and birth weight, if possible, should be recorded at calving for use in herd improvement programs. Make sure that the calf nurses Check that all calving areas are clean and free of items that might injure cattle. Observe cattle fre- properly. Calves need to receive colostrum as soon as possible after birth to build calf immunity and re- quently and have calf pulling and sistance to diseases such as scours disinfectant supplies readily avail- and pneumonia.

Avoiding calving difficulty Calf losses associated with calving difficulty can be herd of any size. a train wreck for a In addition to calf losses, weak calves and longer post- partum intervals (the time between calving and result from return to cycling) difficult calving. can Un- derfeeding cows and heifers prior to calving will not decrease calving difficulty but can instead reduce calf vigor. Thin cattle may have diffi- culty calving if they lack muscle and By Clay Wright The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, Inc. At this time of year, a spring calving cow experiences two periods of increased nutritional need, which are significant and must be accommodated or her performance for the rest of the year can be negatively affected. One of these periods, of course, is at calving. In the first month of lactation, her protein and energy needs will increase by 0.7 lbs. and lbs. respectively. By the second month, as her level of milk production nears maximum, her protein and energy needs have increased 56% and 27% respectively. She is not only producing milk but also trying to prepare her body to breed again very soon. Without an immediate, adequate increase in nutrition at calving, a dramatic loss of body condition is common as she uses body stores to meet these new needs. The most common effect of inadequate nutrition after calving is low conception rate during the breeding season. Possibly the most often overlooked nutritional need for a spring-calving cow, however, comes during the last 50 to 60 days of pregnancy. In the first seven months or so of gestation, building a calf does not require a lot of nutrients. In the last two months, however, the fetus makes 75% of its total growth. Additional protein, energy, and minerals are needed to build the calf and maintain the cow's increasing weight. The same ration that maintains a cow through most of her pregnancy will result in weight loss during the last two months. The fact is that if a cow is dropping condition in late pregnancy, whether rapidly or imperceptibly, she will not cycle as quickly after calving. said Editor Beth Southern. "We have had an uptick in subscribers in recent years," she said. "The ads are very useful and the What's Cookin' recipe column is perhaps the most popular feature." The Louisiana Market Bulletin was first published in 1906 and has about 11,000 subscribers. It is posted online after it is printed. Editor Laura Lindsay uses social media to recruit new subscribers who are unfamiliar with the publication. "We still have our faithful readers who have always subscribed and who read it from cover to cover," she said. Lindsay described the bulletin as an instrument of education and conservation, as demonstrated by the advertiser who offers mirlitons for sale. A mirliton is an edible member of the gourd family that is known in Louisiana as "the unofficial squash of New Orleans." The advertiser selling them is working to save different local varieties.
