SMALLER PIG CROP FOR
THE STATE INDICATED
SWINE CENSUS SHOWS FEWER
BREEDING SOWS IN GEORGIA
AND FOR THE COUNTRY AS A
WHOLE. AFFECT PRICES.
According to figures compiled by
the Georgia Crop Reporting Service
and released January 6, the state
has fewer brood sows and pigs than
a year ago. The bulletin says:
Data secured from the December
1 Pig Survey conducted in co-opera
tion with the postoffice department
through the rural carriers indicated
a decrease from 1934 in Georgia of
sows farrowed and pigs saved. Es
timated number of sows farrowing
ill the fall amounted to 87,000, or a
decrease of 4 per cent from the cor
lesponding figure of 91,000 one yeai
ago, while the number of pigs saved
was placed at 470,000 against 494,
000, or a decrease of 3 per cent,
Bleeding intentions reported indica
te about 123,000 sows to farrow dur
ing the coming spring, or 100 per
cent of last spring’s figure.
Total number of sows farrowing
for 1935 was estimated at 210,000,
with 1,178,000 pigs saved. This wwas
3.2 per cent less than 1934 for sows
tarrowing and about. 2 per cent
greater for pigs saved. Compared
with 1933 the decrease was 22.2 per
cent for sows farrowing and 22.6 per
cent for pigs saved.
An increase of about 3) per cent
in the fall pig crop of 1935 over that
of 1934, a decrease of 5 per cent
in the combined spring and fall
crop of 1935 from that of 1934, and
and a prospective increase of 24
per cent in the number of sows to
farrow in the spring of 1936 over
the small farrowings in t'he spring
of 1935 are shown by the December
1 Pig Crop Report of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Those estimated changes are based
upon returns from the December and
June pig surveys made in co-opera
tion with the Post Office Department
through the rural mail carriers.
The number of pigs saved in the
fall season of 1935 (June 1 to De
cember!) for the United States l
estimated at 20,272,000 head, an in
crease of 4,750,000 head, or 30.6
per cent over the number saved in
the fall of 1934 but a decrease oi
27 per cent from the average num
ber for the five years 1929-33. The
greater part of the increase was in
the North Central (Corn Belt)
States and was relatively greatest
in the Western Corn Belt.
TEN THINGS TO REMEMBER
1. Keep on smiling. Get every,
thing out of life you can without
doing violence to your conscience,
v’ish God gave you as a guide. You
cannot do wrong without knowing
it. If there is any question in your
mind as to what is right don’t do it.
2. . If you wish to stay on good
terms with your kin, never loan them
money, but if they are in need and
you are able iJo assist, do so to the
extent of your ability.
3. If you tell a falsehood, or
steal a nickle during the day, you
will wake up sometime during the
night and find yourself in bed with
a liar and a thief.
4. Do not fail to repeat every
thing nice you hear about others.
Otherwise, keep a padlock on your
lips. Think much but say little.
5. Remember,. honesty, hard
work, concentration and economy are
the keys to success. Never hang a
curtain between yourself and the
truth in a business transaction.
6. Sympathize and help others
n time of misfortune, but do not bur
den them with your troubles.
7. Remember you place yourself
at a disadvantage if you tell a thing,
•hough it be true, if it sounds un
) easonable.
8. Unless it is to the interest of
the public, never repeat or tell any
thing that is calculated to do harm
9. If you want to get the best of
your enemies, whip them with silence
SWOLLEN STREAMS AS
RESULT HEAVY RAINS
SLACK IN -RAINFALL BEING
TAKEN UP AS SLEET AND
RAIN SOAK EARTH. FARMERS
SEE HOPEFUL SIGN.
Prior to the sleet storm of De
cember 28-29 Georgia was several
inches behind in rainfall. Follow
ing- the melting of the sleet and
snow and the rains that followed a
good deal of the slack has been taken
up.
Recent heavy rains have sent
streams out of their banks, with
flood warnings being given in some
sections.
Up to the present time no serious
damage has been reported in Butts
county. The immense reservoir of
the Georgia Power Company has
been filled. During the fall, re
m( inhered as a dry period, the
was low, but there is now an abund
ance of water for pulling a heavy
load.
The work on the state park at In
dian Springs seems to have stood
the high waters in good shape. The
rain fell in such a way that the basin
was not flooded and Big Sandy
Creek soon carried the overflow
water to the Ocmulgee river.
Considerable damage to farm
lands has resulted from the heavy
rains. The roads are rather badly
cut up after tlhe continued down
pour, but as speedily as possible
crews will be put to work scraping
the highways.
Farmers see a good sign in the
winter rains. Wells that were almost
dry for several months will now be >
filled up and the clay will be thor
oughly soaked, storing up moisture

Box “Detector” Tells
Speed of Automobiles
Hartford, Conn.—A little box with
a reflector lias taken the place of mo
torcycle cops to check tip on speeders.
T’he "speed dector,’’ used by the
state department of motor vehicles to
determine the average speed of rao
rnrists on Connecticut highways, con
suls of a box in which a mirror is
set across the angle at 45 degrees.
The operator, concealed from the high
way, catches the reflection as an au
tomobile starts over a measured
course, and opens a stop watch, which
he closes when the vehicle passes him.
Knowing the distance and the time in
which it was traversed, ho quickly
computes the speed.
Experiments showed the average
speed 20 miles an hour in cities and
30.5 on highways.
