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 its 200th anniversary oh February 12, 1924.

Some of the office seekers and politicians raised a whoop and howl over the time-worn wail of a "third house” camping around the capitol during the session of the legislature. Such booger-bear tactics have long since been worn to a frazzle and the (nan or set of mei ho hope to ride into office on such a platform will ; disappointed.
