THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARCUS
JERSEY CATTLE CLUB
WILL MEET SATURDAY
MEMBERS OF BUTTS COUNTY
JERSEY CATTLE CLUB LINE UP
PRIZES FOR HARVEST FESTI
VAL THIS FALL
A meeting of the members of the
Butts County Jersey Cattle club will
be held in the office of County Agent
H. G. Wiley Saturday, morning, July
31, at 9:30, at which time a number
of matters will be considered.
The question of obtaining prizes
for members exhibiting, cattle at the
Harvest Festival this fall is among
the matters to be (brought up. It is
proposed to secure financial assis
tance from the American Jersey
Cattle Club, and if five boys have
calves, registered in their own names,
are secured the American Jersey
Cattle Club will donate sls to be
used as prizes, it is announced. Mem
bers of the calf club may compete
in both the club contest and in the
contest for adults, but adult members
of the Jersey Cattle Club can com
pete in one contest only.
The Guernsey breeders, it is ex
pected, will also secure a number
of prizes. Jerseys and Guernseys
are the two breeds most generally
represented in Butts county.
It is planned to make the cattle
exhibit one of the strongest features
of the Harvest Festival and already
there is a good deal of rivalry in
evidence.
The officers request a full at
tendance of the members of the as 7
sociation Saturday morning.
MAY HAUL MILK TO
MARKET IN TRUCKS
SOME OF DAIRYMEN FAVOR
THIS PLAN. MATTER TO BE
DISCUSSED. DAIRY EXPAN
SION PREDICTED HERE
The question of hauling milk to
Atlanta by truck is one being con
sidered by dairymen of Butts coun
ty. Since the matter was first agitat
ed considerable favorable comment
has been heard and it is likely a
meeting will be called to go thorough
ly into all details of the proposed
plan.
Other counties in this section are
using trucks to transport milk to
the Atlanta markets. Jasper, Newton
and Walton are among the counties
now hauling milk to Atlanta by
truck. Newton county, it is announc
ed, is now operating fourteen trucks
and the production is said to be four
thousand gallons daily.
In this connection it is likely the
Butts County Dairy Association will
be revived. The association has not
been active recently. Many of the
dairymen believe it would be profit
able to an organization to help
solve problems that arise connec
tion with milk production and mar
keting.
Due to the drought of last year,
the uncertain outlook of crops this
season and the abundance of feed
produced the past spring, a steady
expansion in the dairy industry is
forecast all over this section. Greene,
Walton, Newton, Jasper and Butts
are among the counties in this im
mediate section that are heavy milk
producers.

PLANS BE MADE
FOR FALL SHOW
DISTRICT COMMITTEES TO BE
ELECTED AND ACTIVE CAM
PAIGN STARTED FOR FALL
FESTIVAL IN JACKSON
A meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Butts County Harvest
Festival Association has been called
for Saturday morning, July 31, at
10 o’clock in the court house by
Judge S. J. Foster, chairman. t
At this meeting district officers will
be elected and a county-wide orgair
zation perfected. A full attendance
of all citizens interested in the fall
festival is requested.
This meeting will be the opening
gun in the campaign to put on a big
celebration in Butts county this fall.
It will be along the same general
lines as the Butts County Jubilee
held in 1924 and the Butts County
Centennial of last fall. Both of these
celebrations were outstanding events
in the history of the county, and an
even larger show is desired for this
fall.
With the experience gained during
the celebrations of the past two
years it is believed that Butts coun
ty can put on a show that will be
(he equal of any held in Georgia.
Efforts will be made to enlist
every agency in the county in the
movement to stage a notable cele
bration. Civic clubs, schools and all
other organizations have been of
great help in putting over the two
celebrations staged and their support
wil\ be asked again this year.
While the general details of the
celebration have not been announced,
it is likely that a two days celebra
tion will be held. The club fair will
again be made a feature of the
show.
There is already much interest
in the proposed celebration and fol
lowing Saturday’s meeting active
plans will be made for the Harvest
Festival.
The date of the celebration will
probably lie decided at the meeting
Saturday morning.
