GLEAN UP WEEK FROM
APRIL FIRST TO EIGHTH
i
The week of April 1 to 8 has been
designated by Governor Dorsey as
clean up week.
During that time various towns and
cities will have their annual cam
paigns, and efforts will be made to
bum all the trash and rubbish, clean
the streets of waste paper and im
prove and beautify conditions.
In as much as a clean town means
a healthy town, and the absence of
waste paper, trash and rubbish re
duce fire losses, these clean up cam
paigns are regarded as distinctly
worth while.

most hotly contested race ever held

candidates receiving 229 votes there.
Howell carried eipht of the eleven
precincts in the cunty, and in one
preeincnt out of 102 votes cast. How
ell received 90 votes.
The feelinp in the race was intense,
but the election passed off without
disturbance.
MUST SPEED UP j
PORK PRODUCTION
500,000 Additional Hogs
Georgia’s Need
TO BE SELF-SUSTAINING
MILLION POUNDS OF PORK EX
TRA IS GEORGIA’S PART IN
FOOD CAMPAIGN —TRANSPOR-
TATION SERIOUS PROBLEM
We will have to raise 500,000 addi
> ional 200 pound hogs to get on a
self sustaining meat basis in Georgia.
To do this ve must save a million
pitfs. The only chance to have plenty
meat for everybody next winter
is to save the pigs this spring. If we
can save 750,000 by better care and
attention to both the mother and the
little pips, we need -not worry if the
railroad congestion continues.
At the present time there is esti
mated to be one billion pounds of
pork in storage in this country. Wash
ington reports dated March 1 show
there has been am increase of 117.5
per cent of pork in the South Atlantic
States, of which Georgia is one. This
large surplus which has filled every
place fit to put meat is caused by a
lack of transportation. Practically
80 per cent of the congestion is caus
ed by government operations of one
kind or another. This has prevented
the meat now in storage from being
moved.
The foregoing information is given
to explain a situation that now exists
and to remove any fear that there will
not be a good market for hogs this
summer. With the taking over of the
boats from Holland by this country,
no doubt the meat supplies will be
moved soon. There is every reason to
save every pig and raise every hog to
maturity so the storage plants can
be filled up as soon as empty. Other
wise, there is danger that Italy may
go as Russia did—Russia was hungry.
If the railroad congestion contin
ues throughout the year, Georgia will
not be able to buy meat this fall from
northern states that have heretofore
supplied this food. A lot of men are
figuring on getting money from their
cotton to buy meat. The farmer, how
ever, will not be exempt from rail
road congestion any more than the
merchant. In other words, it may be
one time when money will not buy
food because it cannot be shipped.
The wise man of this time is he
who looks after every pig like it was
worth its weight in gold and takes no
chances on its being mashed by the
mother, eaten by the buzzards or dy
ing from hollow-belley.
Herbert Hoover, the Federal Food
Administrator, says:
“The production of more fats is
today a critical necessity. Every
pound of fat is as sure of service as
every bullet and every hog is of
GREATER value to winning this war
than a shell.”
