Neville, who gave us some figures as to the outcome of his poultry undertaking for thiF year. Mr. and. Mrs. Neville began the firstfof*lJanuary with 114 Rhode Island Red hens and at this time have 265 young chick ens varying in ages from da\ olds to six weeks old.^They have sold $78. 75 worth of day old chicks; $130.00 worth of eggs and $25.00 worth of hens, and have 600 eggs incubating that will hatch in a few days. , Mr. Neville has contracted his fryers for summer delivery at 45c per pound. They will be penned and fattened on a butter milk ration for ten days before placing on the market. Beside the poultry interests Mr. and Mrs. Neville arejnilking a few fine Jersey cows which largely contribute the ration for the laying hens as well as to fat ten the marketable fryers. Like other men whqhave made a studv of the-farm problems, Mr. Neville is firm in his belief that foe itjeal jpe cow, the sow and the hen”, and says that there is not only satis faction in handling them but that there is a real profit in the industry if given the proper at tention. This method of farming is gen erally known as Turner C ounty plan of farming and has been the means of keeping hundreds of cotton farmers from hitting the bottom [of their resources, which they would have done if they had continued to stick to cotton. This method- of farming is well adapted to this section be cause of.the natural advantages that the country affords and if practiced will put every farmer on the road to prosperity. Mr. Herman IGaines of the State Highway Department was in.Toccoa last week Twelve members of the Bap tist Church have purchased the- Felder-Hamby property, on Main Street fronting the Blue Ridge Hotel, for a building site for tht proposed Baptist Chore)'. The property purchased con tains approximately four aens of land and is the most desirable property in town for the location of a church and also for business house?. These men have a deed for the Felder interest and an option for the Hamby interest and will soon secure the deeds to the entire tract. It is reported that they intend to donate to the church as much of the land as is desired for the church building and then. to dis pose of the remainder for other purposes. Probably a public sale of the'remaining lots will be had at some time in the near future. The Baptists Qf Clayton occupy a strategical position with refer ence to the Baptists churches and and Baptist of tnfe county and for,that reason alon» it is neces sary'that they waltQpp and build. Not only do they occupy that po sition with reference to the de- ominatiomin tbfetfection but it 'WVffim&F'thattmiy build for local reasons—that 4he the pres ent building is inadequate for the needs of the.local congregation. With a membership of more than three hundred it is neces sary that they build in order to accpmi date the local folks to say nothing of the congregations that they may have if only pre pared to take care of those in clined to worship with them. Mr. M. M. Welch and daught er, Mrs. Roberts and two grand children, of j Florida, are stop ping at the Earl House for season. Mr. Welch is well known to the Baptist of Georgia because of his twenty five years connec tion with the Mission Board, in Atlanta, where he applied him self diligently to the task until his health broke down and he was compelled to take a vacation.
