Watkinsville Banker
Tells Col. Gantt HOw to
Make Attractive Income
With Poultry and Cattle.
(BY T. LARRY GANTT)
Mr. C. A- Ashford, of the Oco-
„„ County Bank, has furnished
me some valuable facta and infor-
_!,|nn about the poultry and
dairying business. anifwhich will
bi n-ad with interest by our sub-
..rllurs. Mr. Ashford has given
’ , matters careful investiga-
“ as his bank is financing
farmers to embark.in these lines.

profitable business awaits the
Farmers of tWs section, and they
an not only mak« more and
,a<ier money than they ever did
by laising cotton, but at the same
time build up and improve their
Ss. Nothing so permanently
enriches a farm like cattle. Col.
jinies M. Smith said the manure
lone from cattle 1couldrepay a
farmer for their keep if he had
mod summer pastures and would
Jrow their feed at home. So the

VERY LltrLB
CAPITAL
SPEAK WEDNESDAY
Noted Atlanta Educator
Will Address Mothers
and Fathers on Pre-
School Age Here.
Mr. Ashford said that a farmer
can start on 600 hena and five
milch cows, and it require* no
large acreage or much capital to
do this Thirty acres of land will
raise all the feed necessary for
the cows and poultry, and it will
not require as much labor as to
grow a few bales of cotton.
Here is Mr. Ashford’s estimate
on the profit for 600 hens of good
.Strains: During the year each
hen will lay at least 140 eggs and
they should exceed this number.
This makes 70,000 agg* or 6,833
1-3 dozen from the- flock. Ar
rangements can be made to sell
the eggs at 30 cents par doien the
year round. At that'price the in
come from the 600 hens would be
$1,749.90.
Then take a dairy herd of five
cows. During the ,year they would
nuke 35 pounds - of Butter ■ per
week or for the 12 months 1,820
pounds. At SO cento per, - pound
this butter butter would Tiring
3586 a year. Then add the 31,-
749-90 from the egga and the $649
from the butter and it makes an
income of 12,295 for the 600 hen*
and five cows.
And this estimate it most rea-
zonable for both the hens and
cows can be made to exceed the
egga and butter set down, and the
prices will be maintained the year
round. Now wh»t crop can a for-

Prof. 8utton is tho man who j

this despite the fact that the build- |
tugs and equipment of tho school
wore little better than barns." At'
times when It rained tho water |

facilities with which he had to j

IX suitable
CROPS
Thirty-five acres of'land plant
ed in suitable crops will grow
•bundant feed for the cows and
poultry. And as Mr- Ashford
•tates there.I* no bettor feed for
hens than buttermilk and 10 the
cows can be made to eupport the
poultry, with grain that can be
raised on the farm. Th# only ex-
wnie the farmer la.at 1* the trou
ble of looking after his dairy and
poultry yard and to cultivate the
land to grow Crops; and it requires
hut little labor to raise food suited
for cattle and poultry.
Mr. Ashford says there is no
business in which our farmer can
embark more profitably than rais
ing i-nultry and dairy. Dr. Bur-
ion, who la well posted on the
subject, says that in one year
Georgia has paid out $27,000,000
for eggs and poultry, imported in
to the state, when we should be
not only keeping this money ,al
home, but he snipping poultry to
other states and markets. One car
load of poultry in Hartwell recent
ly brought $3,980.. Buyers came
from distant markets and paid
cash for .the birds at soon as
weighed. Hens sold for 18 cento
Per pound, fryers for 88 cents end
roosters at 10 cents*
And what Hart county ha* dona
*ny othar county can aUo do. So
enthused it Mr. Aahford over the
Possibilities of the poultry and
dairying business that hia bank is
financing farmers to buy improved
chafe and eggs as also good grade
milch cows. The fanners of Oco-,
nee are organised to conduct these
•Lies and they expect to more

Although ho loved the school he ,
had made, Tech High was. not
to keep Prof. Sutton. Atlanta, with
a public school enrollment grow
ing by leaps and bounds, inade
quate buildings and' equipment
needed a man who could meet tho
grave situation with which tha city
was confronted, called Prof. Sut
ton to the city achool auperintend-
ency. He anawered the call. Since
that time he haa been offered big

public sedmois, of Atlanta, however,
and is determined to give that

SPEAK8 ON
PRE-SCHOOL.
Prof. Sutton will apeak hero on
the Pre-School Age. This does not
mean what some peoplo think. It-
does not mean that ho will come
here to show Athenians how they
can nulke a prodigy of a child. He
will simply tell Athenians of hia'
experiences with children, boys
mostly, and give them the benefit
of his observations along the lines
of Pre-School training for child
ren. There Is no doubt but that
parents can render remarkablo
service to their children and the
teachers who got them when they
enter school finally by giving them
the right sort of training before
they do get Into school Prof Sut
ton will talk on this subject
Hia address will be directed to
fathers as well as mothers. Poth
ers need not think they can shift
the responsibility of rearing the
cHIdren to the mothers. Prof. Sut
ton is a real man, a virile speaker,
s man with a vision. If Athenians
want to see one of the coming men
of the south they will do so by
attending tho meeting In the Uni
versity chapel next Wedneaday
