CO-OPERATIVE CHICKEN AND HOG SALE
There have been held in this state since the first
of the year 1. early one hundred co-operative chicken
and hog sales. Proceeds from these sales have
amounted to thousand sof dollars and brought into
the hands of the farmers ready money with which
they have been enabled to grow a crip and defray
all the expenses. Heretofore, the farmer has been
fored to go into debt with the merchant or else bor
row from the banker money with whifch to/fnake his
crop. Some have not been ab'l; to borrow from the
banker for the lack of proper collateral; some have
not been able to buy their food supply payable in
the fall from tho merchant, and that condition was
responsible for thousands of acres of fertile land lying
idle during the past two or three years. However,
in the sections of the state where there have been
held co-operative chicken and hog sales, the farm
ers have realized sufficiently from these sources to
defray all expenses for the farm from this source.
;; ; Chicken and hog raising is a new industry for the
farmer which is growing in importance and, if kept
up, the farmer can make enough from his side line
on the farm to have his irop products clear money.
' 1 rt ~ It is not an unusual occurrence when riding
through the country to see hogs and chickens plenti-
-< . • ful in the barnyard and on the plantation, and
wherever you find this condition, you find a pros
perin’. family. The industry is growing and in
creasing and within o few years this section will be
the equal, if not the superior to any in the south.
There are so many opportunities for the farmer to
increase his-income from the farm. There is some
thing which cun be gro\.’n and marke.ed every
• •* month during the year, which will bring a good price
■ - and find a ready demand. Agriculture is growing
into line with commercial pursuits, producing pro-
. . , ducts for. all seasons.
_ Athens and Clarke county should hoIB a co-opera-
tive hog and chicken sale. If the fair, which is being
sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, woud add
this feature to its program this fall, the sale could
be made a big success and we believe it woud en
courage the farmers to increase the number of cx-
Mbits, certainly it would if they were assured of the
_ sale following the closing of the exposition.
It is worth thinking of, and it is worth the time
, and attention of the committee in charge of the fair
project to investigate, and if possible arrange to have*
. a big chicken and hog sale immediately following the
' closing of the fair.
TOBACCO GROWING IN THIS SECTION
Sfev'L*
It has been demonstrated that tobacco can be
grown profitably in this section of tho state. Editor
Camp, of the Walton Tribune, tells of a three-acre
tract in Walton county producing two thousand
pounds of tobacco this year. He says;
Messrs. Fred and Comer Cooper, of Logan-
ville, sons of the lamented Mark Cooper, have
three acres in tobacco from which they expect
to realize two thousand pounds. The Tribune is
told by a number of farmers that they expect
to give a few acres to tobacco next year. The
Tribune believes that it will pay them to do so.
We see no reason why tobacco can’t be as suc
cessfully raised hero as it is in South Georgia,
and some of the best in the world has been pro
duced there.
If tobacco can'be grown in WaUon county, cer-
. tainly it'can be grown in C'urke, Madison, Ogle-
- thorpe, Oconee, Jackson or any other county in this
* section. It can be made a profitable crop and a pay
ing industry. A few acres planted in tobacco on
- every farm will produce a yield of thousands of
pounds which will find ready market at all times and
at a good price. When oui farmers learn to diver-
* an d produce something every month in the
year from the farm, tho business will grow in im
portance and become the most lucrative industry we

Daily Poems
A NON-WANDER SONG
By Berton Braley
I do’ wanna wander, I do’ wanna
I like things ns they arc—just so!
I gotta job I kin hold for life,
I gotta home and a darned good
wife,
Maybe I’m rusty, maybe I’m slow,
But I do’ wanna wander, I do’
wanna go.
Gotta bit of money, just a small
amount,
Tucked away in a bank account;
Rollin' stones don’t get no moss,
Not, at least, that I’VE run across;
Guys that’s restless, let ’em pack
an’ bl6w, v
I do’ wanna wander, I do* wanna
they
I like things just the way
are, #
I got two babies an’ a flivver car
That’ll take us any place wc please.
But I don’t hanker for no seven
I wanna watch m/ youngsters
grow,
I do’ wanna wander, I do’ wanna
I’ll get stuffy, and I’ll get fat?
That’s MY worry, lemme tell, you
that!
You like travel, go ahead and
hike,
Staying home is tho thing I like!
Them’s my feelings, do you get
me, bo ?
I do’ wanna wander, I do’ wanna
go!
