DO FIGURES LIE?
Talk something besides corn and cot
ton. When a dozen eggs sell for more
than a gallon of syrup or a bushel of
corn, then eggs are. too high or syrup
and corn are too cheap. When an old
hen is worth more in the market than
two bushels of corn, keep the corn to
grow liens with and let the hens lay
the eggs; when you sell the eggs you
have the hen left as a profit.
If 100 guineas will lay 72 eggs each
a year it will equal a cotton crop if fig
ures do not lie. Ten bales is a big
one-horse crop for an ordinary family
before we had the boll weevil. Ten
bales damaged by the boll weevil is
equal to five bales, less one for the fer
tilizer, leaves four, with the landlord
getting two, leaves two for the ten
ant's year’s work at $75 per bale equals
$150.00. 100 guineas laying only 72
eggs each or six dozen, equals 600 doz
en eggs at 25c is $150.00 or as much as
a year's work In a cotton crop plus the
good the guineas will do towards de
stroying the boll weevil. It has been
proven that the boll weevils do very
little damage where guineas range, so
the same crop will make 7% bales in
stead of five, same figures apply as to
fertilizer and rent leaves tenant 3 1-4
bales cotton at $75.00 is 243.00 and 600
eggs at 25c is $150.00, making a total
of $393 as against $150.00 with all cot
ton. Now the guineas will easily lay
72 eggs and enough extra to feed them
with a little attention, a few patches
of grain maturing at different times
will feed them and a few rows of ear
ly beans planted in the cotton fields
will cause the guineas to stay off from
the house and graze in the fields in
June when the boll weevil first comes
and the cotton is small. A few hills
of special pens planted in the skips of
cotton will mature in July to keep the
guineas busy eating both the pens and
weevils which will reduce the boll wee
vil damages to a minimum. Same will
apply to turkeys, grow more turkeys
they are destructive! to the weevil
which makes their profit double. A
few hours speflnt during the winter
days getting the guineas and turkeys
started will make little farmers big
ones for figures do not lie. All yon
have to do is produce the figures, they
will add up the answer. Build your
guinea house off in the field, sow rye
for them to graze on in the spring and
j plant beans and peas as above mentiou
■ ~(l will keep the guineas and turkeys
off in the field where they will make
you money two ways. Advertise for
guineas, a few days work and thought
will right a lot of wrongs now exist
ing. It will get you more titan ten
times the same time and thought spent
in town cussing everybody and every
thing as is being practiced now by
some. Merchants and bankers lie but
you get the above figures together and
they will not lie.
Place your ad with the country mer
chants in the cities for all the guineas;
buy them, stop the killing and eating
of them, they do too valuable a work
to be eaten. Some organization along
this line will do good, you can secure
the guineas through the bureau of
markets and produce dealers in the
cities. Get busy on this line, then you
will he :t producer instead of a destroy
er, c<instnujtiv<> instead of destructive.
Then the world will look better to you
and other folks will not l>e as mean as
they appear to be today and our old
world will he a success after all.
