producing the following article from
tie- pen of Mrs. L. L. Upson regarding
a great poultry show for Athens to be
held the coming fall:
Mrs. Upson Writes:
la the fall of 1910, a visit to several
of the leading Poultry Shows of the
South, gave me much Insight into the
tremendous work these poultry aaso-
cltaons accomplish, and believing that
those Interested locally could make a
great success in this line, I have writ
ten, upon request, a few advantages
to be gained from such an association,
and such a show.
In the first place, our immediate
section is rapidly awakening to the
progress made In poultry lines—and
there are many specialists of different
breeds right In our midst, who hold
the honors and ribbons from the
shows throughout the south. These
"chicken lovers'’ would become the
backbone of such an association, for
they ore not faddists, and hare—for
some years—quietly pursued the "even
tenor of their way,” mating their birds
scientifically each season for best re
sults and with best foundation to be
had, In stock or eggs, several people
right In Athens have now, and others
will have another season, exhibition
birds In their own yawls, that have
never been shown.
There Is a great satisfaction In
knowing we have something nice In
the poultry line. If our talents run
that way for a little venture, or if
one desires to make a profitable liv
ing from the, work.
A great many retired bankers,
physicians and men who have been
closely confined in their work, have
established large poultry estates and
arc giving their time, brains and
wealth to the rearing of beautiful
fowls, in the suburbs of their respect
ive cities. I could not count the prom
inent women of the north and south
who have undertaken some venture
of this kind—some for recreation, oth
ers for the financial view, a number
In search of lost health. At the great
Chicago Poultry show this winter.
Countess Van Schelle was presented
nml exhibited her Belgium Camplnes
and feather-legged Malines, the latter,
she claims, mature In 30 weeks.. Her
foreign speaking attendants had
charge of her display of Bantams. And
so. these day s one meets many "nota
bles," as well as men and women of
prominence in wealth, business and so-
lal circles. In the show room.
A very successful poultry enthu
siast. a Southern woman, writes of
her beautiful birds, “I was ever
lover of soft winged things," and she
wins cups, money, ribbons, with her
pels. One cannot succeed with birds
without making friends with them,
and an rosy way to begin the taming
process Is to handle them at their
lunch” hour, stroking them gently
when on nests and very soon the bold
est will eat grain from your hand, and
they will flock, with one accord, to
the yard gates, when the voice of the
owner is heard in the distance. In
such way, we begin to get them In
line, for the shows, where a great,
magnificent bird worthy of a first
prize, has lost the ribbon to one not
so good, because the judge was not
uble to take him from his coop and
handle him—his fright, ugly temper, t) cn , f or , llc j, work. The train around
forever losing him the coveted prize. state has created much good, and

Bo. if we have dne or more judges

and to watt late, we would probably
have to be content with one of the
"lesser lights." To secure the expert

of Smyrna, Ga„ or others as well
known, we would indeed be fortunate,
Among the prominent northern judges
are, Judge Theo Wlttman, famous the

connected with the poultry depart

fancier will find It a great pleasure to
meet and know such breeders, who are
always ready to give advice on many
points.
A great many people will flock Into
Athens from nearby places during the

Club, and should we have the poultry

New Orleans, March 9.—The Times
Democrat this morning eays;
Either government regulation! or ex
tinction. according to F. L. Maxwell,
who Is one of the lurgest cotton pro
ducers in the south, Is the arbitrary
prospect before the future cotton
trading exchanges. Mr. Maxwell op
poses legislation of the Scott anti
future trading type which he says
would rob him and all other cotton
producers and cotton handler! of the
important benefits that accrue from
the buying and selling of future
hedges, but he emphatically believe*
In practical regulation of the
changes by the federal government.
Such regulation, he thinks, is due the
farmer, the merchant and the con
sumer, and may be obtained In a man
ner that will help, not harm, the cot
ten Industry In any way,
Mr. Maxwell raises somewhere be
tween 2.100 and 3,000 bales a year on
his model plantation at Mound, La,
He Is a modern farmer and alway*
takes a leading part In movement!
having as their object the betterment
of farming conditions.
"In my opinion,” said he yesterday,
"the United States Bureau of Corpora
tions and Labor should be empowered
by congress to prescribe the form of
contract under which the future trad
ing of the exchanges is to be carried
on. Recently that bureau spent two
years In Intelligent investigation ot
the cotton market, and in the report
issued by Commissioner Herbert
Knox Smith outlined the correct prin
ciple that should underlie all con
tract trading. This principle is noth
ing more nor leas than that of com
mon fairness. The suggestions made
by Mr. Smith were in effect that th«
buyer and the seller of all exchange
contracts be given equal righlj and
privileges, that none other than com
mercial cotton be deliverable, that
the grade differences above and below
middling at which cotton la delivered
on contract be tbe natural or’ spot
market differences, and that no arti
ficial conditions that tell against eith
er buyer or seller be permitted to ex
ist. He also recommended the adop
tion by all exchanges of the govern
ment's standard types.
“Were all tbe exchanges compelled
to adopt the suggestions made by
Commissioner Smith the cotton far
mer would get all that is coming to
him; the producer, merchant and con
sumer would continue to enjoy the
benefits of ffhe Immensely hedging
system, the wing* of tbe speculator
would be clipped in a practical and
lasting way, and the antagonism the
farmer has been showing toward cot
ton exchanges In general would soon
he a thing of the past.
“Were congress to pass a law giv
ing supervisory powers to the Bureau
of Coroporatlons that bureau would
quickly correct all the errors that re
main without hurting any of tbe real
ly good phases of the modern market.
But should congress pass a bill almt-
lar to the Scott bill the cotton mar-
ket would be thrown all out of Joint,
and the result would be control by a
few rich and powerful merchants In
the same way the tobacco and sugar
markets are now controlled, in such
event the producers could sell only
to a few more or less non-competitlvs
buyers who would then dominate the
market, In place of the many com
petitive buyers, each bidding against
the other, as Is now the case.”
