tf the Athens and .Clarke county health boards are
to be united.there is no time to lose.
. Dr. J.'G. McKinney stated in an interview in Sun
day’s BAfiner-Hcrald a joint meeting of all organisa
tions concerned will be called this week to consider
this step. By all means this should be done. The bill
| must be advertised thirty days and the legislature
’ will be in seston only fifty days.
1 The.movement to copibine the two boards is time
ly and wise, as The Banner-Herald has pointed out
more than once. Not only will the city and county
cave money but what is v\stly of more importance
both will he given better health protection.
Dr. McKinney’s outline of his plan indicates the
bill as tentatively drawn up is just what we need. In
fact, it is understood experts in health matters so
regard it. Clarke ^county and Athens should have
taken such a step long ago. However, it is too late
to cry over spilt milk. *Much human misery will be
raved in the future if this action is taken and wc
should not hesitate in acting, at once.
In a matter of this kind all personal considerations
should be thrown into the discard and action be dic
tated only by the public welfare. Dr. McKinney’s
plan will give the county the,service of two more peo
ple in health work than it now has and the city will
be given the full time of one more person. In addi
tion to that.the sanitary corps will be operated as a
separate organization and its chief can devote his en
tire instead of part time to the work of that depart
ment which is sorely needed.
The text of the bill as outlined by Dr. J. C. McKm-
ney, president of the city board, appears to be thor
ough and’complete and in its passage by the legisla
ture it would meet with the needs of the city and
county^ *
This bill, however, should be carefully considered
by the membera of the two boards, the iqayor and
■ couhcil and- commissioners and a bill should be draft
ed fully setting forth the powers of the board, should
be explicit and comprehensive in order that no tech
nicalities could arise in the future. f\ is important
that the re-organization be done right and with a
viet* of serving the public and protecting in every
detail the health of the community.
Let us Unite the boards and make Athens and
Clarke county the cleanest, most sanitary and healthy
community in the state.
PITIFUL PASTURES
The other morning a double horse wagon was load
ing hay—doubtless Western hay—from a railrond
platform of a small Georgia town along the Georgia
Railroad not far from Athens.
And yet in this immediate territory as experiments
undertaken by the Central Railway prbve, pastures
can be developed at slight cost that will fatten a
1000-pound steer to tho acre and which exceed in
richness and in feeding value the famed pastures of
the middle west Athens forming territory is mak
ing rapid progress with the ‘‘Cow, Hog and Hen”
slogan, but it is neglecting an opportunity in not de
veloping adequate pastures. It is pitiful to see the
rapidly increasing herds of cows In this territory
picking a.scant and meagre living on bare postures,
when a mixture of Carpet grass, Dallas grass and
Icapedeza, sawn in February, on moist lowlands, will
provide a rich,’luscious and tank pasture for some 8
to 9 months in the year.
Harlem, Ga., held a cattle sale the other day and
disported of romc 76 head of fine pure-bred cattle
:it good figures. Tt is pitiful to think of whatsis go
ing to ha»qcn tothese cattle unless their new owners
provide thorn with the proper pastures. The back
bone of th$*Turner county plan is the adequate pas
ture. With innumerable small streams and small
valleys, breaking up the land in this section, we are
particularly favored for. the making’of rich perma
nent pastures. To neglect to do this pn every farm
is to nttompt to build without a proper foundation.
One cannot make a success of the “Cow, Hog and
Heh” program without rich pastures.
Better write to Mr. Winburn, president of the Cen
tral of Georgia Railway, and -get their booklet on
“Permanent Pastures.”. It will open your eyes to what
can be done in this section. And best of all. If you
are on the line of the Central that road will rend one
of its agents to see you and talk over the matter,
perhaps maybe bear part of the expense in their
scheme: of demonstration work.. Doubtless the Agri
cultural Departments of the other roads will be glad
to do the same in their campaign to help their ter
ritories torn safe and sane and profitable method of
combatting the boll weevil. \
WHO GROWS THE WORLD’S COTTON 7
A: great many people think the South does, but tljo
South only grows a'papt;-pf the world’s cotton—some
66 per cent for the year 1922 and only 63 per cent
•for the year 1921. In 1915 and 1916 the United
States or practically speaking, the South only pro
duced 60 per cent of the world’s cotton and both
crops in this counf.-y were over 11 million bales.
In 1921 with a world production of cotton of 14,
741,000 bales, this country produced 7,954,000
bales, or a little over 63 per cent. India produced
3,360,000 bales. Egypt 837,000 bales, China 1,176,-’
00(h Brazil 612,000 bales, all other countries 803,-
000 bales.
In 1922, out of a total world crop of 17,664,000
this country produced 9,964,000 bales, or 56 per
cent. Oth<*r producing countries were India ,3,760,- .

Indigestion? The medical books
tell us: 1. Gas, which means that
your food Is fermenting Instead of
digesting. 2. A feeling of fullness
or oppression In the region of the
stomach after eating. This means
that tho gas has ballooned your
Htomnch and is pressing
against your heart and lungs.
A dull, laxy feeling, which means
that you are t not getting nourish
