■ i, , ;• ! "a million-dollar CROP ; '
1a How 'dote that souijd to a section of the country
1 which,has gone through or is being infested with the
bon wfeeril? A million-dollar crop can be harvested
and at a less cost than a cotton crop. The following
from thelvidalia Advance tells of a county in Flori
da which has made a most remarkable showing in
poultry raising. The same can be done in this section
DfGeorgia. Here is what it says:
1 One dbunty in‘Florida is boasting that it has
• three million-dollar crops. You would naturally,
' guess that one of them was citrus fruits anu an-
iV other tourists, but you will probably be surprised
’ to find that poultry makes up the trinity. We
are told that the poultry is fast becoming a
' crop of second importance in that section. O11
• >many small farms from 100 to 500 head of poul
try are kept and the owners of these farms ap-
' pear prosperous.
1 What is being done in a Florida county can be done
in Clarks county. The poultry association here has
■ an opportunity to develop an industry which will
meitn thousands of dollars each year of new money
brought intp the tills and pockets of our‘ people.
There is a demand for every egg and chicken which
can be raised to cay nothing of the demand for fine
chickens, and eggs which sell f6r a fancy price.
There is no crop which can be raised that will pro
duce more ready money than from the sale of chick
ens and eggs. A few weeks since, in South Georgia,
a co-operative sale was held and the farmers from all
sections of the county pooled their chickens and eggs
anil a carload was shipped to market, netting the far
mers more money than if they had retailed them.
The poultry industry-is-a, coming business and the'
sooner our people realize the value and prfiftt in
poultry raising the sonner will hard times disappear
and normalcy be restored. Raising poultry is no
more expensive than raising cotton under present
conditionr. Price of cotton is uncertain, purely ' a
r .lottery, but chickens and eggs are stable and at all
seasons of the year demand a profitable price. It is
■ worth thinking about. It Is a profitable business—
F try it. \. '
My attention was attracted a

Berton Braley’s
Daily Poem '
1 met n littlo caddy as I wandered
past the linfks,
l said to him, '’This golfing game
is foolishness, methlnks;
To take a silly little ball and hit
it with a stick.
For grown-up men, it seems to me,
is such a childish trick!”
Tho little caddy grinned at me.
’I’ve heard that stuff bofore;
But once you've wacked that little
ball, you’ll whack at ft soma
more;
And by and by you’ll Jlnd that
golf Is all you think about.
For Colonel Bogie'll git yuh if yuh
don’t watch out.
“Tho old 'and young'and middle
aged, I’ve seen ’em as tbdj
fall.
For once you go and take a swat
at that there, little ball,
You’rf' gonna have the fever. If you
hit At far and high,
You’ll seek to beat your record
and you’ll ’make another try.
And If your first shot, ain’t no

you
Could do a whole lot better u
vou really wanted to.
You'll take another wallop. After
that there ain’t no doubt
That Colonel Bogie’ll git yuh If yub
don’t watch out.”
I scorned that little eadda’s words,
I took a club from him,
I swatted at that little ball with
vigor and with vim: '
It sailed away Into the blue,
proudly saw it flit,
And over since that fatal swat I've
failed to equal It!
