ETOWAH Farm raising
FINE ABERDTEN-ANGUS
The following article is headed
“Etowah Vale Farm Aberdeen-Angus
Cattle” in the July number of South
east Live Stock, and written by Dr.
('. D. Lowe, Knoxville, Tenn., Exten
sion Representative of the American
Aberdeen-Angus Association. It will
be of interest to all lovers of good
live stock:
“Etowah Vale Farm, near Canton,
Ga., constitutes one of the oldest
Aberdeen-Angus establishments in
the state. It’s 1,200 acres of broad
*lich bottoms, grassy, well-watereu
glades and virgin timber, make it ad
mirably suited for the production of
high-quality beef cattle.
“Mr. Field purchased his first pure
bred Aberdcen-Angus cattle about
seven years ago, and since that time
has added choice specimens as oppor
tunity offered. His herd has never
wanted for care and attention, for
ample provisions are made for both
summer and winter by the spacious
silos and luxuriant pastures.
“The breeding of the herd is ot in,
very best, representatives of the
Blackbird and Trojan Eroca .families
being numerous. The herd has the
distinction of having sold a cow to a
Missouri purchaser, who later sold
ft: $2,COO, and there are plenty more
in the herd just as good.
“The senior herd bull is Earl of
Lisle, sired by Blackcap Model, and
out of a daughter of the imported
champion, Prince Ito. His dam is al
so the dam of the Earl of Bolton and
other famous cattle of the breed—
' Blackcap Model was long the head of
John D. Evans’s herd in Illinois, and
was the sire of a cow selling for
$6,200 last year, as well as of a great
heifer exported to Argentine.
“Mr. Field has just purchased a
junior bull, in “Idol of French Broad”
a son of the lamented International
champion “Idolmcre,” the bull which
was burned to death in a railway
accident fire, while returning from
the Chicago show.
“Mr. Field also purchased, also a
great young cow, which he expects to
show at the fairs this year. This
cow is carrying a calf by “Perinthi-
nn,’ the bull which won the supreme
honors at Chicago last December.
“Mr. Field has faith in the future
of the cattle business alid will suc
ceed.”

Sixty-Six Teachers Attend
Summer School at Ellijay
Sixty-six teachers of Cherokee
County attended the summer school
at Ellijay for the two weeks begin
ning July 4th. This school is com
posed of the teachers of Cherokee,
Pickens, Gilmer and Fannin. In all
there were enrolled 260 teachers.
G. D. Godard was the efficient
leader in charge, and he, with his
five assistants, formed a strong fac
ulty. The teachers declared this to
be the best school of its kind they
had ever been permitted to attend.
Tentative approval of Henry Fords
offer to separate on a lng-tem cn-
tract the nitra plant at Muscle Shoals
Ala., was indorsed by J. R. Howard,
of the American Farm Bureau feder
ation.
Organized agriculture is interested ■
in any business-like agreement that j
will cause the da m to be completed
and secure a cheaper supply of ferti
lizers for farmers, said Howard.
“Fod's Offer sunds like btriness, Tint
we will wish to study the details and

may lie made to the .government b«.

Secretary of Commarce Hoover,
stated that the government expects
other offers for the Muscle Shoals
plant besides Ford’s offer, but said
that he had received no definate of
fers from either the Dupnots or
Washburn cylinder interests. He said
those concerns had diplayed interet
in the plant.
Th" Ford propool has been turned
over to Secretary of the Treasury

annaounced.
