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. ,„,l v hat he says can be abso lutely relied on a« accurate- He "bow* that a great avenue for a 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 milk, butter and increase Is clesr gain- 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. Willis A. Button, who speaks hero in tbo University of.

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 icon make up .he lose caused t.y the boll weevil with poultry and dairy product*.

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 ger salaried Jobs. He sticks to the public sedmois, of Atlanta, however, and is determined to give that city the beat achool ayitem in the south. He will do it, too. 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 night, held under auspices of tbo Parent-Teachers Association.
