I ^ ■ 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 few days ago by an old friend who was standing on the cor- ner of Cfayton and Lumpkin streets waiting an opportunity to pick bl3 way ae rgss the street I without being run down by an } automobile. 1 asked him why lie | was in such an absorbed state of mind and be replied that he was just thinking of the good old days' wjjen there j/ere no hors«Uf$iLcar-,.
