THE GUBERNATORIAL SITUATION
Admirers In Georgia of Hon.
Jesse Mercer want him to run
for governor, and various news
papers have in the last few days
given friendly publicity to the
idea. The Southwest Georgian
considers Mr. Mercer guberna
torial timber of ample size.
Should he consent to make the
race and be elected, the state
would have a chief executive
most generously supplied with
"innards’’ and backbone as well
as with mental capacity to deal
with such problems as might con
front him. Many Georgians feel
that it would be a good thing for
the State to have a go-getter
like Jesse Mercer in the gover
nor's chair. —Southwest Georgian.
Our Fort Gaines contemporary’s
crticism of our friend Is typical of
many we see in the Slate press and
are words of just praise.
Should Mr. Mercer decide to en
ter the contest against the present
chief executive, however, it would
make it difficult for many Georgians
to decide between the two, for it
must t o said that in Clifford Walker
the State Inis a.- its governor one of
its very best men. He has endeav
ored to “make good,” and that the
State’s problems are no nearer so
lution than they were when he enter
ed the governor's chair is no fault
es his. The Georgia legislature did
not back him up in his efforts.
And just here let it be added that
the two other “distinguished” gentle
men who are seeking the governor’s
chair, Messrs. H. I!. Riders of Tatt
nall county and Speaker of the House
George Carswell of Irwin county,
were prominent among those who
were very careful not to co-operate
with Mr. Walker.
Tho indications are that it is go
ing to be a free-for-all contest, but
the News prediction is that Messrs.
Elders and Carswell won't get very
far in the running.
o
McADOO SCORES AGAIN.
William G. McAdoo has scored an
other victory of politcol significance,
carrying South Dakota in Tuesday’s
primary despite strenuous opposition
on the part of William Randolph
Hearst and the farmer-labor forces.
Georgia’s victory is typical of how
the South feels toward* the former
Secretary of the Treasury, while the
Dakotas, both of whom have now en
dorsed him, show how the sentiment
runs in the West. Other state pri
maries and conventions will be held
with rapidity beginning in April and
will be watched with interest. Mc-
Adoo's followers are jubilant over
the recent smashing victory in Geor
gia, which may mean the elimination
of Senator Underwood as a prospect
live candidate for the nomination.
o
The Democratic State Convention is
to bo held in Atlanta on Wednesday.
April 23rd. If will be made up of
friends of Mr. McAdoo, who will se
telect the 28 delegates who are to go
to the Democratic National Couven
tion in New York in June to select
the party’s standard-bearer.
o
Attorney General Daugherty stands
revealed in the light of testimony
already given out in the hearing at
Washington as one of the most cor
rupt men who ever held public office.
President Coolidge would raise him
self 100 per cent in the estimation
of the American people by demand
ing Mr. Daugherty’s resignation from
the cabinet.

FEEDING BABY CHICKS.
Feeding baby chicks from the time
they are removed from the incubator
until they ate at least four weeks
old has a great deal to do with the
success of raising the little fellows.
Many different methods of feeding
have been put forth by different
feeders and they all may be correct,
but common sense is one of the
greatest factors in feeding. - No set
rule can be followed exactly. Fol
low the instructions of some feeder
and supplement with your own
common sense and experience.
.. Nature has provided that the baby
thick be supplied with food long
enough to maintain its body until it
is old enough to hunt for food itself.
About half of the entire yolk of the
egg is absorbed into the body of the
chick before hatching. This is na
ture’s food for the chick. We must
help nature In feeding chicks rather
than retard it. Feeding any foods
to the chicks before the yolk Is di
gested and used is almost murder In
tho first degree. It rquires at least
72 hours for a complete digestion
of this yolk; consequently, never
feed until about 48 hours after the
last chick’s hatch. This is fairly
safe.
W'hen the chicks are removed from
the incubator to the brooder, a drink
of warm water and a few crystals
of clean, bright chick grit, or sand,
is satisfactory. Warm buttermilk is
also a very good thing to be given
at this time.
The first feed may be given as
follows. Take the infertile eggs that
have been removed from the incuba
tor and boil hard. Crush one of
these with wheat bran —one egg for
every 20 or 25 chicks. Feed this five
times a day—all that the chicks can
clean up in ten minutes.
Keep fresh, clean buttermilk be
fore the chicks at all times. Bread
crumbs dipped in milk will supple
ment the eggs and bran. Skimmed
milk, slightly sour, Is Just as good
ns buttermilk. Whatever your meth
od of feeding may be, the first feeds
should contain grit, charcoal, ground
bone meal, or ground egg shells.
Continue to feed five times a day
until the chicks are about ten days
old, then the full ration can be giv
en them. Dry mash can then be
placed In the hopper and scratch
grain fed; twice daily—about ten
o’clock in the morning and five
o’clock in the evening. It is a very
good idea to take the mash from
them in the evening abouc two p. m.
before feeding the scratch at five.
This will make them ready for
the scratch that takes them through
the night.
There are a number of good com
mercial starting feeds and many
poultry growers use them because of
the ease of obtaining them.
Several mighty good starting
mashes can be made as follows:
Starting Food-
Boiled eggs crumbled with wheat,
bran. 1 egg for 20 chicks. Bread
crumbs dipped in milk.
Grain Mixture.
tl» lbs. Cracked Corn. 10 lbs.
Cracked Wheat.
Mash Mixture.
10 lbs. Corn Meal. 10 lbs. Wheat
Middlings, or Shorts, 30 lbs. Wheat
Bran.
Buttermilk should be kept before
chicks with this ration. If no but
termilk. is available, add to the mash
12 pounds of sifted beef scrap and
cue pound of bone meal.
in addition to the above. green
feed, such as cut oats, rye, rape,
alfalfa or some clover is essential
to best results. Keep chareocal, grit
and clean water before them at all
times.
