DO OUR FARMERS NEED CITY MARKETS FOR
CORN, OATS, HAY?
The Banner-Herald has an idea thht Athens is go
ing to be a great city market one of these days for all
that the farms in this territory can raise, whether it
is hogs and cattle, milk and butter, sour cream, eggs
And chickens, or corn and oats and hay. But on
the other hand, before such a condition can come
about neighboring farms must first learn to produce
enough to feed themselves and their farm animals be
fore it is necessnry to seek a murket for a mythical
sfirhlus. Undobtedly in recent years the south is
producing more of it3 feeds than it did under a one
crop system . But the big fact remains that the south
jg not yet producing enough food to supply its own
farm needs adequately.
-Recently the Banner-Herald printed the figures
of an agricultural survey-of Columbia county, and
itbvlas clearly indicated that this county is either
Woefully underfeeding its farm animals from home
raised feeds or that it is making up the difference
• by still heavy purchases from the outside. Columbia
county does not as yet have to go outside its own
borders to find a market greatly under supplied with
home raised corn and cats and hay and other feeds.
..Glascock, Burke and Jefferson counties according
trf the same survey arc not in much better conditom
T thafl Columbia.
^Glascock county has a livestock population of 7,-
687 animals, divided as follows: 1,055_ horses and
mufes, 218 beef cattle, 1,681 dairy cattle apd 4,722
hogs, chickens 17,339.
To feed this livestock, Glascock produced 126,258
bushels of corn, 2,772 bushels of oats, andpstons
of hay. The figures in bulk may seem at first glance
impressive but when divided as a ration over a period
of a year among the horses and mules, cattle and
hogs, we find that the per capita distribution amounts
to less than 17 bushels of corn, one third of a bushel
of oats and about one quarter of a ton of hay per
animal per year. Surely a scanty ration.
!; One cannot read these figures without coming to
, the conclusion that our farms have yet a good ways
' ttt go before they can be said to raise enough feeds
for their own consumption and yet have a ® ur Pj“® t0
put' on the market in merchantable shape. Undoubt-
t'lllv some farms make a much beter showing than
these figures indicate, and the surplus, of such farms
can find a market right at home among their own
neighbors. This is doubtless being done. But the big
point for all of us to get in mind 11 is that this section
ns a whole must raise more food crops in order to
feed the animals we now have and in order to grad
ually increase the number and quality of the livestock
on our farms.
•Georgia farmers are turning more and more to the
Turner County Plan of forming but the backbone of
Hiich a plan is pastures and feed stuffs and a gradual
increase of livestock to profitably consume these on
the farm, marketing the milk and cream and butter,
ami hoga and cattle and eggs and chickens as they
are properly prepared by feeding for market. In
this section the above survey indicates that we are a
long ways from reaching the Turner County ideal.
We are not raising enough feed to properly feed the
animats we now have on our farms in this section.

i* CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE MOSQUITO
Bhe people of South and Southwest Georgia com-,
moncc a campaign on September 1 against the mos-
quito—for the^ absolute eradication of the pesky sing
er which makes sleep a nightmare and rest impos
sible. The fight on the mosquito should be kept up
l'roin the commencement of the year until the end by
climating places where they breed. With proper
sanitary conditions, the mosquito and the fly can be
exterminated and these germ carriers disposed of
for ail time come.
In Athens there have been fewer flies than In re
cent years and practically no mosquitoes. This con
dition is due in a great measure to the activities of the
board of health and the drastic restrictions employed
by this board in its enforcement of sanitary ordi
nances.
A community free from flies and mosquitoes is a
healthy and clean place. Flies and mosquitoes feed
and multply in unsanitary places which are allowed
to accumulate rubbish until a decayed stage is
reached and from such ugjiditions the whole com
munity is affected and Brer and other diseases
nThi
eoon become prevelant inThe community.
TToo much care can not be practiced by citizens in
their homes. All rubbish, scraps of foods, decayed
vegetables, moldy things or accumulations of water
the lots should be immediately removed and
homed or buried deeply. Athens enjoys a splendid
health record and, it can be maintained and im-
proved, if our people will exercise the proper care to
their lots and homes by seeing that every article
which might cause sickness and disease is promptly
removed and destroyed.
• Let us co-operate with the authorities and help to
make Athens a clean and healthy city.

THE HUNCHERS
Who Is that lucky devil who driver
a lardly car.
The bird who’s blowing some rings
from a fifty-evnt cigar;
That ready-money person who’s
plastered with kale,
Who seems to own the universe
and have It by the tail?
He's one of that persistent and per
tinacious blend,
A guy who playfc'his hunch out to
the end.

And who’s the seedy fellow,
shabby-looking bloke,
Who’s obviously pretty flat If not

Why y^s. he's up against it, there’s
doubt of that,
There’s fringe upon his trouser
legs, he wears a busted hat;..
Yet he Is, though he hasn’t got n
single henn to spend,
A guy who plays’ his hunch out to
the'end.
You say you’re sorry for him? You
needn't be, n bit.
For If you look within his eyes
you'l lsee he hasn't quit;
He may not ever duplicate the oth
er man's success.
But he won’t always be the gon’
