(NOTE: The above figures are also available for the United States if desired.) SWEET POTATOES: The September 1 ee indicates a sweet potato crop of 74,857,000 bushels for the United States.. This represents a production of 17 per cent greater than the 1936 crop of 64,<_ 144,000 bushels and 13 per cent larger than the 1928-32 average.

CORN: According to the Crop Riportine: Board of the United States Department of Agriculture, the corn crop in | Georgia this year was estimated at 49,428,000 bushels based | on the condition on September 1. This compares very favor- ably with last years crop of 33,624,000 bushels. Corn harvest- ing has been practically completed in the Costal Plain area and has made excellent progress in the northern half of the state. Stocks. of corn in Georgia from the 1936 crop have become practically exhausted, but offerings of new crop corn from the southern part of the state have become fairly liberal during the past week. Shelled corn from the | new crop is being offered at Atlanta at 90c per bushel. The : quality is reported as very good although the moisture con- tentis: too high in some cases for milling purposes. The prices 5 being paid for Georgia corn are from 15c to 20e below the - prices at which western corn can be delivered to points _ within the state. At this time a year ago, Georgia corn was selling at Atlanta on a shelled basis at $1.25-1.35 per bushel as a result of the short corn crop for the eee asa whole in 1936. FROM THE DOUGLAS MARKET e pokstoes continue to be the largest item moving from this section. The price is staying around one cent per pound and since cotton has been picked on most farms, farmers are in better shape to dig them. : - Peanuts are being dug and stacked butensively in the area surrounding Broxton and what I have seen seem to be good, with the turnout fair. Rains early last week, however, de- Jayed peanut digging for several days. The first fall squash this season were on market Satur- day and sold for $2.10 per hamper. They are scarce yet and only few small lots coming in. In ten days, pore: we shall have a good supply. Very few rooted turnips are ready yet, but we are snoving small lots of bunched turnip salad this week. Local supply is filling city demand and we will send out truck load lots ~ next week. Cabbage plants from both South and North Georgia plant growers are selling freely in this section now and we are . looking for a good fall crop. 2 Weare also expecting a good pecan crop. with jaa a few pine the ie now. H. W. LONG, Manager. FROM THE MACON MARKET Bibb and surrounding counties are experiencing some very dry weather at this time and unless rain comes with- in the next few days the vegetable crop will have suffered considerably. Some of the farmers tell us that unless they get rain within a short time they will not even be able to pve, sweet potatoes, The price has held considerably well on sweet potatoes ip to now. We attribute this to the fact that the farmers have been so very busy with the. harvesting of other crops th t they have not had the time to gather potatos for the arket. Apples are moving: too rapidly and the buying public not seem to be anxious to lay in heavy stocks for the reason that consumers are not buying to any great extent. 1 truckers are supplying our market with practically . Advance notices of these editions appear from time | f tO supp : demand E tee we get rain in a short time we expect a shortage. in these crops. There appears to be a very few tomatoes yet to be harvested as very few are being offered at this time. Collards are also short and the demand is. greater than the supply. a : J. N. RAINES, Manager. LYONS, GLENNVILLE AND CLAXTON MARKETS These markets have listed FOR SALE, large qunmtnes of New Crop Corn, Porto Rico Sweet Potatoes, and Georgia Ribbon Cane Syrup in gallon cans, also truck quantities of Big Stem Jersey Sweet. Potatoes. As an average Corn in- the shuck has been selling around 50 cents per bushel. Sweet Potatoes around 50 cents per bushel, and Georgia Ribbon Cane Syrup around 40 cents per gallon, Sugar Cane is being sold locally in most South East Geor- gia sections, and the outlook of this crop for Syrup purposes at the present time is very good. The outlook of the Pecan yield is also good in most sections. - Peanuts are being hogged off, but none has been offered - for sale through any of these markets yet. I have been in the fields in some sections and the yield seems to be showing up very good, considering the. weather conditions. ~ Cotton is being ginned regularly, but as a result of the heavy rainfalls in some South : East Georgia sections the yield is damaged to the extent that it is only turning out.

A \ HOW TO SECURE BETTER LIVESTOCK The average farmer needs to use better sires, which will improve the quality of the animals, as well as making them > better feeders and 2 him to get ready for = quicker. Of course, feed. is the major factor in live stock farming. It is very necessary that plenty of permanent pasture is available as live stock make their cheapest gains on pasture. - We certainly need to increase our corn crop, the acreage as wellas the yield per acre. This is necessary to finish the hogs before the peanuts are ready and to feed on after the peanuts are gone. By having more corn, the marketing period for hogs could be extended at least four months. The bulk of the hogs are sold during four months of the year. If the farmers would spend as much time and effort on their corn crop as they do on cotton and other money crops, we would soon have a real live stock secon right hhere in Georgia. | I have found by my own experience that the West feed to finish out hogs with is corn with tankage and some mineral mixture. I realized $2.00 per bushel for corn this year by feeding it to hogs, along with tankage. I was able to sell on a high market about the middle of August. should plan now to get the most out of this years feed crop. | I believe with proper management, that Georgia could sup- _ ply the packers with Hezs, all the year, instead of for only four months. The best proof I ee of that pure bred, bulls pay is an experience I had myself. I have a $10.00 cow from which. I sold her first calf at eleven months old for $75.00. This calf was sired by a pure bred beef type bull. This year this same cow has a better calf than the first one. As we have an abundance of feed in Georgia, I hope those who have feeder hogs or cattle will write the Department of Agriculture, State Capitol, Atlanta, Georgia, as I will be in position to help them sell a good many of each. I ~ would also like to hear from anyone who is i~terested in buying or selling feeder hogs, feeder cattle, pure bred cows or pure bred bulls. H. F. GIBBS, Tifton, Ga.

Yours truly, HORACE MADDOX, Palani, Ga, TO INCREASE CONSUMER DEMAND The New York Packer, a publication devoted to the - marketing fruits and vegetables, has the following help- - ful suggestions to growers on how to increase demand: Growers and shippers largely have it within their own - create a big demand on the part of constimers for these staple food crops. An important factor in creating a demand for anything in the shape of foodstuffs is quality. If small, scabby potatoes are seen at the grocery store, the power to housewife probably will buy fewer potatoes and more of something else. If cabbage shown worm-eaten leaves it is probable that some other salad food will be chosen instead. If small, thick necked onions are displayed, fewer will be consumed. Anc at the same time, if the markets are flooded with poor stuff, prices on the fine quality offerings will suff- er. Probably far more money will be returned to growers of staple vegetables this year if they sell only high quality pro= duce than if that is grown is thrown on. the markets. This is only good common sense and applies to Sweet | as well as Trish potatoes, and every fruit anc vege ale. af mer h We | | yield her increase, and keep my commandm and do them; Then I will give you ra due season, and the lan and trees of the field shall their fruits. : the vintage shall reac the sowing time; and eat your bread to the ful dwell in your land safely DONT SACRIFICE TIMBER _ There is more - woodland for saw m poses if only the larger are cut, said DuPree B; forester for the Georgia sion Service.

Several = of aad be, found in wounds. ow SCREW WORM FLIES DEVELOP true screw worm maggot is the young of a kind of fly. It is called the true screw worm e it is the most harmful species. It is usually st one to lay its eggs upon the broken skin animal. This injury may be a cut, scratch, te, or a wound of any kind. The true screw. fly does not develop in decaying carcasses, ny people think so because large numbers of hich look like the true screw worm fly can nd feeding and laying eggs on dead animals. true screw worm fly breeds only in living s. From 10 to 400 eggs are laid on the wound ung maggots begin to appear in 11 to 21 They immediately bore their way into the d feed_in clusters so as to form pockets wounds. More and more flies come to lay eggs until finally there are large numbers of s eating into the flesh. Unless the animal js nd the destructive maggots are killed, it die in a very short time. If the maggots are illed, they become fully grown in 4 to 10 days rop out of the wound to the ground, where ange into flies about 10 to 14 days later. The en mate and the females are ready to lay }to 10 days. The total cycle requires from 7 days, and usually averages about 24 days. RUE SCREW WORMS AFFECT ANIMALS en screw worms are present in a wound, there oody discharge and a characteristic odor. For Petes! purposes, a bloody discharge is suf- nt evidence to identify their presence. A hard ing usually accompanies a screw worm in- n. Bloody frothing from the mouth some- Posted.

Infested sheep and goats hide them- -in underbrush, trying to keep away from the This habit makes it hard to find infested, ls in time for early treatment. Ww TO TREAT SCREW WORM-INFESTED WOUNDS . pony benzol and pine tar oil. Benzol is used the screw worms. Pine tar oil is used as a g for wounds and for repelling flies. ore these materials are applied, the portions animal covered with discharges from the nds gaould be cleaned carefully. Wounds con-- g blood and serum must be carefully swabbed cotton, because benzol does not readily kill worms protected by fluids in the wound.: diately following the swabbing, a light appli- of commercial benzol is made to the wound with an oil can or syringe, which suse the flow of blood. Three or four minutes should be allowed for the benzol to reach the screw worms. A second light application is then made, and dry cotton is inserted in the opening of the wound. This cotton plug should remain in the wound so that the screw worms can have sufficient time to breathe and be killed by the gas of the benzol. It is recommended that stockmen leave the cotton plugs and screw worms in the wounds, Pine tar oil (specific gravity 1.065, acid free, de- hydrated) is then applied over the cotton plug and on the skin around the injured parts. It may be spread with cotton wrapped around a clean stick. The pine tar oil repels flies and aids in healing. : Following. the first treatment, the reappearance of a bloody discharge from the wound indicates that living larvae are present. In such cases treatment with benzol should be repeated. If there is no furth- _er discharge, the condition suggests that the screw worms were killed and that only pine tar oil should be applied. It is necessary to apply pine tar oil every day or two until the wound is healed. HOW TO PREVENT SCREW WORM FLIES Screw worms must be prevented from breeding in living animals. This is the only method known at present for the control of the true screw worm fly. They cannot be prevented from infesting animals by setting out ordinary fly traps or by burning dead animals. These methods are useful in com- bating the common blowflies and are good san- itary practices. The immediate burning of carcasses of animals which die from screw worm attack is. important in order to prevent the screw worms present from completing their development. If the true screw worm fly can be kept from breeding in living animals, it is believed that there will be little trouble from screw worms. 2 2 WHAT TO DO 1. Provide a chute or brake for the treatment of wounded or screw worm-infested animals. 2. Examine all livestock for wounds, daily if possible, and when such animals are found, apply pine tar oil (specific gravity 1.065, dehydrated and acid free) to the wounds to prevent screw worm infestation. 3. Fence a small pasture near the neues or water- ing place where animals infested with screw worms can be treated every day until the wounds are healed. Animals may be fed and kept in screened Sheds. = 4. Use benzol (90 per cent commercial) i kill the screw worms and then apply a thin but even coat of pine tar oil over the wound to keep the flies away and to aid healing. 5. When wounds are difficult to treat, or where _ they occur in valuable animals, the services of a competent veterinarian should be secured. 6. Perform operations, such as marking, branding | and castrating during the winterthat is, after. killing frost and long enough before April 1 that the wounds will be healed by that date. Use emascu- lators of the pincer type as far as possible in eastrating. t 7. Have all young dropped between November 15 and April 1. 8. Look for the Gult Coast tick, which attaches Sas after death as a sanitary measure. on the inside of the ear, eda of jen tt thi tick is present, make a light application of pine tar oilto the tick-infested area with a swab. es cases of screw worms are caused by this tick. 9. Burn carcasses of all animals as soon as possible 10. Look after your livestock and prevent screw worm losses. Eradication of the screw worm is im- practical but the insect can be controlled. 11. Treat with pine tar oil all bruises and scratches _ < on animals being loaded for shipment to market or to feed lots or pastures. Screw worm- -infested animals should never be loaded until all worms have been killed and the wounds treated ~with pine tar oil. f WHAT NOT TO DO IN SCREW WORM CONTROL 1. Do not ear-mark, brand, castrate or dehorn animals during warm weather. If it is absolutely necessary to do so, apply pine tar oil to the wounds immediately and every day until they are healed.

Griffin, % Gen. Dele : SRENEE Ts Want small 1 horse ereop on temperature for the same length of tie. Since pasteurization is not perfect under the best conditions it is essential that milk should be of the best. quantity before it is treated in this manner and after it is pasteurized all possible precautions after heating in every case because heating the milk not only destroys the dangerous type but also dete the lactic acid producing bacilli, which cause sweet milk to change to the usual:form of buttermills. _ The lactic acid will kill thost forms of harmful bacteria unless some other organisms are more abundant. These may prevent milk from turning . and usually forms gas in the buttermilk thus mak- ing it unwholesome and. unsalable. Such organisms may get in raw milk and produce this: same basic culty. In, the laboratory the method in most common den. Mrs. Alice Garner, Palm IRY PRODUCTS_ use is to report bacteria in terms of colo : c. c. the abbreviation is in cubic centimeters eac c. c. being equal to between two and thr by liquid measure. Each colony represents a gro of bacteria the number of actual bacteria per co. - when viewed under the microscope W. hundreds of thousands. In addition to bacteria sometimes find yeasts and molds. The yeasts of little significance to the average dairyman, | they do enter into some of the common ferme tions and like molds, which also occur in milk, the lowest form of life in the vegetable kingdot Some types of microorganisms will cause a ct change in milk, butter or cheese while others affect the flavor, consistency or cause th sour. Souring is the most common ferment: milk and is caused by a change in: the ae milk sugar into lactic acid, and this causes ~ easein to separate or precipitate. which is more monly known as curdling. Sometimes a organism will contaminate the milk from side source, particularly when the cow is not clean of stable filth. This organism may also ) from grain or soil and it causes acids oth lactic to be formed in sufficient quantities tha coagulate the milk producing gases, an undesiral flavor or aroma. Sometimes curdling will take pl without the action of acid. This is caused by certain enzyme produced by bacteria and thi _eurdling may be followed by a digestion of the and. causing a bitter taste as a result. This ch may take place in milk that is kept at a low tem erature. A condition that may sometimes exist an is difficult to locate the source of trouble, is th occurrence of a ropy or slimy substance. Th: due to a transformation of the lactose and this con dition spreads throughout the milk. Fortunat i this is a rather uncommon condition and only on or two such cases have been reported to this lab oratory within the last six or seven years. milk should not be confused with results of ga which is an inflamed condition of the udder of thi cow. Milk in this case is stringy with coagulate material and is easily seen when strained on filter cloth. | Due to the large number of dairies in the: sta : it is impossible for the state inspectors to mal regular inspections of all dairies. When possible is well to visit the dairy where your milk come from and see just how it is produced. W. eth your milk is raw or pasteurized it should b = ca from the beginning and delivered. clean scold. JM SUTTON, = State Veterinarian. WANTS A HELPING.

NOW ABOUT FLOWERS: - Bulbs which you may plant in October are: Daffo- -dils, Hyacinths, Tulips, Crocus, Paper White Nar- cissi (this one must be planted indoors because of cold weather). Be sure when you plant your bulbs to arrange for drainage. You can do this by under- laying the bed with cinders, rock or sand. On a slope this would not be necessary. Bulbs should be put in the ground to a depth of three times their diameter, that is, if the bulb is 2 inches wide, it should be six in depth. Bulbs as a rule should be 5 to 6 inches apart. Well rotted stable manure, if used, should be worked well into the soil ten days before bulbs are planted. If you will get busy right now with your bulbs you may be able to sell the flowers in your nearest town next spring. ane hardy perennials also might bring in some cash. these perennials in boxes. Use rich soil and no fertilizer. Put one to two inches of cinders, gravel or sand in the bottom of the box, for drainage. Keep _ the soil damp but not wet. Keep these plants in _ boxes until the second set of. leaves appear, then transplant to. permanent location in your yard. Be sure the place you choose has plenty of sunlight. In transplanting flowers think of colors and. arrange your yard artistically, GRASS: If you want grass, plough your yard now very deep. Italian Rye Grass is a winter grass which costs 10c per lb. It will stay pretty for a long time. | You use 10 Ibs. to the 1,000 square feet. Fertilizer will do much to make your grass pretty and green. If you use stable manure you will have to keep the weeds pulled out of your growing grass.

While you are doing this put on your wate a = sugar to boil, at rate of about two cups of sugar one-half cup of water, You just want water enoug to dissolve the sugar, as your apples contain ~ of water. Also, add about a half eeu of sal _ to each two cups of sugar. When this syrup comes to a boil on: is ne _ ly dissolved, drop in your apples all the liqui take and let it again come to a boil slowly. only long enough, however, to let the pieces become tender without falling to pieces. We prefer to can with a little bone in them, as it were, for then make better pies. Canned in this manner, app. are really worth eating.
