FARMER SMITH’S PROBLEM.
Weems Smith is one of the best citizens °f Athens,
L but he has his troubles anil problems just like the
| rest of us. One of his problems at the present time
I is that he has some :il)0 hogs on his Jackson county
1 farm and hasn’t enough feed to properly bring on
this number to market ir top condition. Inc.dental-
• ]v if he tries to sell these hogs in poor condition to
butchers and packing houses he is going to ”® v « “
I hard time of it, to make a sale or get enough to pay
the freight and charges. Olher farmers may find
T themselves in tlie same condition. But we think .hat
t Weems Smith is too sensible a man to blame any-
l body except himself. On the other hand, a great
| many farmers, in such a condition would blame the
butchers, the packing houses, the market, or the hogs
I Here are two suggestions to help Farmer Weems
. SmHh out of t.is trouble. First find some farmer
who has more feed than he can use and who fa look
I i ne f or a market for his feed. Sell such a farmer
I w ith the idea of “feeding hogs” for the m -L rke J;
I Farmer Smith can furnish the hogs and Farmer
Brown has the feed for sale. This can be a cash
I transaction or if cash is scarce, a trade basis can be
1 arranged whereby the hogs will be a part of the
transaction and the feed furnished the other part and
when the hogs are properly prepared and ready for
market, the cash returns can be equitably distribut-
ed between the two partners on the basis ot tneir
mutual contribution of hogs and feed.
, We tell the story of Weems Smith’s fanning prob
lem because it is typical of so many other farmers at
the present time—the problems of raising things
for the market, getting them to market in the top of
condition, of establishing mutually- helpful relations
between farmers themselves and of ready cash mar
kets on the other hand for all the products of their
farms—this is just now the biggest community prob
lem that is confronting the people of the South.
One of these days Athens and other Southern
towns are going to develop adequate marketing fa*
cilities for other crops than cotton. Grain and feed
elevators arc going to bo established, feeding pens
arc going to be connected with such establishments,
so that farmers who raise hogs and cattle and chick
ens, will always find a ready market and facilities to
properly prepare their livestock for market, when
they are not able to do so themselves on their farms.
The big problem that confronts our people in _ the
present re-adjustments in farming and in business
that are now going on, aro market facilities of all
types and kinds. When markets are ready to handle
in every way the farmers’ problems, we arc sure
that, farmers will increase their production and flood
these markets with hogs and cattle, and chickens,
with corn and oats and peas and velvet beans and l
liny and other crops. But-the present cry is for mar
keting facilities of all kinds.
CHEESE FACTORY FOR ATHENS
Speaking of new enterprises and weekly pay
rolls and feeders for Athens, would it not be a worth
while proposition for the Chamber of Commerce to
undertake the organization o'" a company for the
manufacture of cheese in this city? Lexington has
organized a company composed of local capital that
has built and has in operation a cheese factory.
Social Circle has deno likewise and now Monroe
and Monticeilo arc. organizing and propose to com
mence at once the manufacture of cheese. If these
smaller towns can successfully operate cheese fac
tories, certainly Athens can with ita large number of
wholesale grocery merchants. The output of a largo
factory could be sold to the local wholesalers which
would not only help the city, but the er.tire section
of country, tributary to Athens. Every gallon of milk
in this and adjoining counties could be used and the
establishment of dairies where large quantities of
milk could be auppiied daily would be the result of a
cheese factory.
The Chamber of Commerce could do no better
work than to sponsor such a movement. The capital
required to establish a factory for the manufacture
of cheese would not he large ard it is believed that
such an enterprise could be organized on a commun
ity basis with everyone subscribing for a few shares
it would create an interest in the enterprise which
would prove successful. .
• The encouragement of producing more milk and
raising better milk cattle •would mean much for the
section. Dairies would flourish and the farmer
would find a ready market for every gallon of milk
he could produce. It is un opportune time for the
Ciiambcr of Commerce to take hold of such an en
terprise and see to it that it ( is pushed to a successful
culmination. It can be done nnd with other small
manufacturing plants the weekly payrolls can be
increased here several thousand dollars.
Let Athens celebrate the founding of Georgia on

Some of the office seekers and politicians raised a
whoop and howl over the time-worn wail of a "third
