THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA, JULY 15, 1916
HUSS-MEEKS.
No marrage at Douglas ever awak
ened more interest than that of Mr.
Charles Wilt&rd Meeks and Miss
Florence Edna Huss. Mr. Meeks is
one of the young men of this family
so long identified with the progress
and development of Coffee county.
He holds a position in the Douglas
post-office and is universally esteem
ed for a character solid in all good
and exemplary qualities. Miss Huss
came to Douglas about nine years ago
with Prof. A. A. Kuhl and wife, of
the Georgia Normal College and Bus
iness Institute. She and Mrs. Kuhl
are sisters. Her friends are number
ed by the legion—true friends, net
simply those who hear the name. She
has taught some departments in the
Institute, but for a year or longer
has been connected with the Union
Bank of Douglas.
The ceremony occurred Thursday
afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, the 13th,
in one of the parlors of the Georgia
Normal Dormitory. Immediate rela
tives and business connections made
up the circle of guests. Rev. T. S.
Hubert, of the First Baptist church,
pronounced the words that made them
man and wife. Beautiful music was
rendered i>y Miss Knowles at the
piano and Miss Nora Huss, the bride’s
sister, on the violin.
Congratulations were spoken and
the bridal party motored to the home
of the groom’s parents near Nich
olls, when a few hours later they took
the train for Jacksonville, St. Augus
tine and other points in Florida. They
will return in a week or ten days.

SPECIAL SERVICE AT BAP
TIST CHURCH SUNDAY EVE.
Rev. T. S. Hubert has announced
a special program for Sunday eve
ning at the Baptist church, and the
public is cordially invited to be pres
ent. Mrs. M. D. Dickerson, presi
dent of the Woman’s Club of this
city, will assist in the services, which
will be held for the benefit of the
Carnegie Library, an institution which
the ladies of the Woman’s Club are
enter.sely interested in.
As a paster of the city, interested
in all the things that promise real
uplift, I have sympathized with the
Carnegie Library ambition of our
Civic Club. No other municipal in
stitution would contribute so much to
our advantage. For this reason, I
have decided to preach on the Influ
ence of Reading ar.d Libraries at the
evening service, next Sunday, 16th.
Mrs. M. I). Dickerson, president of
the Club, and members will attend as
special guests of the church, and a
program of music will be rendered
under the auspices of Mrs. E. L. Tan
ner, assisted by Miss Nora Huss and
others.’ You and all are invited to
attend.

Pastor First Baptist Church.
Peanuts For Oil
And For Swine
John R. Fain, Professor Of Agronomy,
Georgia State College Of Agrxulture.
That there is now at least a limited
opportunity in the production of pea
nuts for oil for those who are not in
a position to graze the peanuts off
•with hogs, is unquestioned. This will
certain last as long as present mar
ket conditions in oil prevail.
If the producer of peanuts can con
tract ahead for 75 cents per hushel or
abo we, he can figure a profit of some
thing like 15 cents per bushel based
on 40 bushels pej- acre at average
cost of production. If contracts cau
not be made ahead for a definite price,
whenever possible, the farmer should
be ir a position to graze the nuts off
with hogs, in case the price of nuts
at harvest time, does not make it prof
itable to put them on the market.
Estimates for the profitable produc
tion of pork can be based on 206
pounds of pork per acre. There are a
good many reports of as much as 3,-
OOC pounds of pork per acre on pea
nuts, hut 200 pounds can safely be
taken as the minimum. If 600 to 800
pounds of pork can be obtained it will
give a larger profit than peanuts at
75 cents sold to the oil mill.
One of the main differences between
grazing hogs and selling nuts to the
mill is the maintenance of the fertil
ity of the land. This is a most im
portant factor and it should he clear
ly kept is mind that where hay and
nuts are all removed the land will de
preciate in crop-producing power.
Where the Logs graze the peanuts the
land should increase in crop-producing
power.
Livestock Campaign
Quite Successful
Milton P. Jarnagln, Professor Of Ani
mal Husbandry, Georgia Slate
College Of Agriculture.
The campaign for more and bet
ter livestock which has been conduct
ed in Georgia by the College of Agri
culture in co-operation with the rail
roads, proved as great a success as
could be hoped for. Practically the
whole state was included in the itin
erary, every line of railroad being
used. About 175 stops were made by
the exhibit cars, the arrangement be
ing to make two stops a day. About
175,000 people visited the exhibits and
heard the speeches made by the ex
perts accompanying the exhibits.
All those who saw the exhibits know
more today about what pure-bred live
stock is, what different breeds are
and their adaptability to local condi
tions than they ever knew before. Un
questionably many have been led to
desire pure bred animals and many
have already determined to have such
types of animals as their foundation
for breeding. The ultimate outcome
of the campaign, therefore, will be a
large contribution to the improve
ment of livestock, the influence of
which will continue indefinitely as the
effect cf better breeds develops from
year to year.
This campaign would have been Im
possible without the assistance of the
railroads. They joined most heartily
in the undertaking.
The exhibits of home-grown feeds
added conclusive arguments in favor
of the livestock industry in Georgia.
In fact, the conclusion which the cam
yaign enforced with no room left for
tfeubt, Is that Georgia affords splen
did opportunities for livestock grow
ing.
We have made arrangements
for an unlimited amount of mon
ey to loan at a very rate of inter
est to the land owners of Coffee
county. Wallace & Luke, Doug

The farmer who grows only one H
1 crop makes a mistake —and goes
i | broke when that crop fails or there ra ;
j Li isn t any market for it. Almost as great H
’ a mistake is made by the fruit grower who produces only H
Updone kind as by the farmer who doesn’t add fruits to his crops. ■
...
Fru it s judiciously selected, planted
properly and eared for right will be a
source of ready money. The farmer
who grows some peaches, pears, plums,
persimmons, etc., always can find a
cash market for most of these.
Diversify Your Fruit Growing
Has Been Grifliag’s Watchword
Farmers who had learned to diversify
made money just the same when cot
ton could not be sold. Fruit growers
who had gotten away from the one
crop policy sold some of their other
fruit for good prices when oranges
were generally a drug in the market.
■ For years our Mr. C. M. Griffirig has urged the importance of diversified fruit F
growing as well as diversified farming. In the catalogue be has published anJ K

Even if one is making money on one
fruit grown in quantities, the planting
of some other kinds in smaller lots is a
wise thing. Even orange growers have
sometimes made as much off other
fruits as fronj their groves.
Even though cotton and grain and
oranges now are in great demand,
don t forget the lesson! Make your
plans now not to be caught again, no
matter what happens. Grow enough
things to sell some so long ns anybody
is buying—and to live on afterwards.
