NEW JERSEY MAN SAYS
GEORGIA IS IDEAL IN CLI
MATE AND PRODUCTS FOR
RAISING HOGS IN QUAN
TITIES.
That Northeast Georgia is be
coming recoznized as the garden
spot of the state is evinced by the
visit to these parts of F. S. \ an
Neis of New Brunswick, N. J.,
Mr. Van Neis came here to in
spect the soil and farms of north
east Georgia for the purpose of
moving here from New Jersey; in
vest his money in northeast Geor
gia soil and reap his share of tlie
rich harvest now being enjoyed by
in this section.
Hog Raising on Big Scale.
Although Mr. Van Neis believes
in boosting tli eprice of king cot
ton. as lie is a member of the agri
cultural clan, however, his object
in coming south is not to raise the
fleecy staple, but, to raise boas
and raise hogs on a scale never be
fore dreamed of by the most en
thusiastic hog raisers in this sec
tion of the state.
Opportunity Neglected.
Mr. Van Neis made an automo
bile trip over Clarke county in
company with Professor Crabb, ol
the department of soils in the
State College of Agriculture and
to say that he was agreeably sur
prised at the progressiveness of
Clarke county farmers would be
putting it mild. As he looked over
the ‘white fields which never fail
in making the onlooker experience
a feeling of jo/. Mr. Van Neis re
marked to Prof. Crabb, “1 am
wondering why you people have
never gone into bog raising on an
extensive scale before now. Id the
fawners in tins section had begun
hog raising a few years ago on the
scale i am planning, and carried
the proposition through with the
same spirit of determination and
zeal which characterizes their ag
ricultural activities, this section of
Georgia would be the richest in
the state.”
Climate Suited to Hogs.
“You are better prepared to
raise hogs than the people of New
England. There they Ttre handi
capped with ten months of frost
during the year. Here you can run
hogs into a pasture and let
them graze on bermuda and alfal
fa during these very months, and
that fact attracts me to Northeast
Georgia. Your climate is ideal for
hog raising.”
Mr. Van Neis proposes to
raise pure bred hogs as well as
feeders and also intends to raise
a large crop of alfalfa.
Alfalfa Makes Hogs.
The farmers of northeast Geor
gia have I Then very successful dur
ing recent years in raising hogs,
although they have not specializ
ed. If the boll weevil ever arrives
and experts say that they are com
ing. and coming fast, the farmers
lwill be forced to cut down their
acreage in cotton. "Wherever alfal
fa has been raised it has gained
supporters and alfalfa ranks as
one of the best feed crops for hogs

favorably impressed with this sec

east Georgia in planting more feed
crops and in making preparations
to launch hog raising on a more
extensive scale.—Athens Daily

THE BEST TIME YOU WILL
EVER SEE TO SAVE
MONEY.
The World War lias brought to
this country the greatest season of
prosperity ever known here.
While business in many countries,
even outside the fighting zone,
was tied up. times here were very
prosperous. It will probably be a
thousand years or more before our
people ever again see such oppor
tunities to make money. Such op
portunities may never again come
to us while the world stands.
Have we made use of these op
portunities? Some have done so.
hut many may not have. Many
wage earners have lost more time
than ever before, because a living
was secured $\ ith loss effort than
before. Other wage earners have
worked regularly hut have wasted
their money. Some tenants have
worked only enough to make ends
meet, w hen they might have made
money fast with proper effort.
Other tenants have made money
and wasted it when they might
have bought homes with it. Only
a few have worked regularly and
saved all they could save.
What is said of tenants is true
of a great many land-owners. At
the time when everybody ought to
have made both their time and
money count above all other
times, we have let the traces hang
slack. This is our time, but we do
not seem to know it. These are op
portunities. but we do not grasp
them as we should.
It is very clear that we have
been missing our opportunities.
We cannot now help the past but
we should take care of the future.
We should work all we can work
and save all we can save. We
should not let all the prosperity
pass without our saving some
thing. Will times change? Yes,
they certainly will change. When
will they change? We do not
know, bnt we know they will
change. The time may not he far
away. After the pendulum swings
one way for a while it will swing
hack. People who do not work and
save during this wave of prosper
ity will see when it is over that
they have acted very foolishly.—

(From The Savannah Morning
News.)
“Some smoker” might have
been a popular if not altogether
elegant description of a meeting
held at Nashville a few days ago
when nearly seven thousand peo
ple assembled to celebrate the for
mal opening of the first tobacco
warehouse for that section of the
state. “Nashville and Berrien
county got on the tobacco map of
the state,” said one correspondent
writing of the occasion which
drew farmers and business men
from not only all parts of Berrien,
hut from Lowndes, Brooks, Irwin,
Coffee and other counties.
The tobacco warehouse at Nash
ville is one of the pioneer houses
that will be noted as the first of
several hundred similar houses to
he erected in the next few years.
Tobacco is coming to he an item
for large consideration in the di
versified agricultural products of
South Georgia. The farmers are
learning how to select the proper
varieties, how to prepare the land,
how to sow the seed, transplant
