FATTENING CHICKENS FOR
CURB MARKET. Progressive
chants advertise their merchandise
by bringing before the buyers cer
tain desirable special features.
Farmers have been slow to gms|)
the advantage of advertising and
of having special features to adver
tise In getting customers. At the
present time, it seems desirable
tjiat the farmers using the Curb
Market or peddling from house to
house, should push the sale of their
pgbduct by developing high quality
and advertising special features of
the products they are offering for
,on the Athens market Is Just poul
try on the theory that a chlckei
is*Just a chicken. The writer wish
es to suggest to wide awake poul-
trymen nnd farmers offering poul
try for sale here, the desirability
of fattening their chicken during
the two weeks previous to offer
ing for sale.
Then let the people know that the
chickens have received special at
tention and are beter than the gen
eral run. Mr. J. H. Wood, head
of the Division of Poultry at the
Georgia State College of Agrlcul-
for 24 hours after being confined
in order to stimulate their ap
petites. The ration should he mix
ed Into a sloppy wet mash, using
eltfier water or milk.
When milk is used one half of
the meat scrup or tankage may be
omitted. A milk mash will pro
ducc more and better flesh than
water. After 24 hours give the
birds all that they will eat twice
a day for two days. Then feed
nil they will eat thre times daily
until ieady io sell. Grit should be
supplied and a little green food
will help.”
TOMATOES. The leaf spot and
some of the rots of tomatoes great
ly reduce the yields. These trou*
hies can he prevented by spraying
the tomato plants with Bordeaux
mixture, beginning the spraying a*
ns the plants have started

fattening, viz., crate fattening
and pen fattening. Crate fatten
ing consists in keping birds con
fined in small boxes or crate*.
These crates should he pieced In
a cool shady place away from the
other birds. They ahouM he diy
and well ventilated. Ten fatten
ing can be accomplished by con-j
fining birds in a small coop shed
or well lighted nnd ventilated stall
Ail ages nnd sizes may be fatten-
de by either method, however, fry-
ill usually do better in pens.
The length of confinement and fat
tening period will bo determined by
the age nnd condition of the birds.
eeks will usually be found
best. Young stock can sometimes
be kept for three weeks, while old
hens will some times lose tNir np
petite nnd start losing at the end
of ten days.
A ration consisting of 20 poundr
n meal, 20 pounds middlings
low grade flower, and 8 pounds ol
tankage, will give very good re
suits. Th«f birds should be starved

to water melon wines becoming

HOW CAN ATHENS OBTAIN POWER TO
) MEET ALL DEMANDS? „
On Sunday a comparison was made that showed conclus
ively Why the spirit of development which has been the
policy of Atlhens Railway and Electric Company 'in all the
years of its history had been smothered under the changed
economic conditions by increasing costs and the inadequate
rate schedule under w{iich the Company is compelled to sell
the major portion of its product.
But the Company is here to say that all the power which
Athens needs for an undreamed of industrial development
can be-realized by tfhe cobperation with the Company of the .
present power users, the city authorities, the civic bodies
and the people of the community in general in securing the
right to charge the rates which otjher communities are will
ing and anxious to pay.
In two industrial communities in Georgia the broad
minded manufacturers have joined wholeheartedly with the
local power company in asking t)he Commission to do away
with a rate higher than the Athens rate, and authorize one
that will enable the companies to obtain the money neces
sary to keep .their facilities abreast of the demands of the
manufacturing interests.
• t. i * . ,
What these manufacturers want is service and an insur
ance of power to meet their plans for expansion and this
their business sense assures them cannot be obtained from a
crippled utility.
The Athens Company has a record of which it is not
ashamed for service and economical management, but it
cannot hope to do what larger organizations in more favor
able surroundings have found to be impossible,
It is here to serve Athens, not only day by day, but day by
day and night by night in every way better and better.

so carried about by insects. Thl*
disease can be prevented by spray
ing the watermelon vines with
Bordeaux mixture. The first spray
ing is made as soon as tho vines
begin to run and subsequent spray
ings are made at intervals of two
weeks during normal season and of-
tener durlg rainy sesasons.
Anthacnose on watermelons caus
es the vines to die beforo the nici-
ones mature and also causes dis
eased spots on the melons. It if
suggested that all producers of
termelons make suitable prepar
ations to combat this disease.
BORDEAUX MIXTURE. Thl*
fungicide is made from blucstom
and lime. For watermelons use *'
pounds of lduestone, 6 pounds o!
lime and 50 gallons of water. Dis-
e the • hluestone In 25 gallons
rater nnd slack the lime, mix
ing it in the other 25 gallons of
er. Then pour the two to
gether by taking a bucketful oi
hluestone solution and a bucketful
of the lime water and pouring both
into the spray barrel or tank at th(
e time, repeating this until th«
amount needed is prepared. Cau
tion: Use wooden vessels for mix
ing purposes.

Dallas sold only 50 hales but stork

Traders generally anticipate more
cheerful markets this week, owing to
prevailing comparatively low prices,
likely to attract more buying of
spots and futures and because of
uncertainty of the weather.
