Georgia As A Poultry State
That conditions in Georgia are
ideal for the profitable production
of poultry and eggs may be judged
by the recent growth experienced.
In 1920 the value of poultry and
eggs produced was $12,000,000.00.
In 1926 the value of poultry and
eggs produced was $30,000,000.00. |
In 1923 the commercial incubator
capacity was 190,000.
In 1927 the commercial incubator
capacity will be 1,200,000.
This growth, while phenomenal,
has been steady and gradual.
Some of the reasons for above
growth: First—Climate.
(a) Our mild winters' encourage
heavy egg production.
(b) Long hatching and brooding
season affords ample time to get off
several hatches with only half the in
cubator and brooder equipment need
ed in colder sections.
(c) All of our products are sold
on high markets because our season
is several weeks ahead of the heavier
producing sections that cause price
drops.
(and) Can grow green food and
have chickens in sunlight at all sea
sons.
(e) Mild winters make early broil
er production possible and profitable.
f) Have higher fertility and bet
ter hatches than colder sections.
(g) Houses more economically
built because of mild weather.
Second-—Markets
(a) We are half way between New
York and Florida, the two best mar
kets obtainable.
(b) We lack 10-million dollars
worth of feeding our own people. j
(c) Cooperative car load sales
keep prices for chicken right at all
seasons.
Third—Cooperation.
(a) Newspapers, chambers of com
merce, rotary clubs, kiwanis clubs,
lion clubs, railroads and other in
dividuals and organizations cooper
ate by encouraging and financing 1
poultry enterprises.
(b) We have a state poultry as
sociation, a baby chick association,
and many county associations.
(c) Flocks are being tested for
white diarrhea.
Fourth—Cheap Land.
In short, no state in the Union of
fers a better climate, more financial
or moral help, or better marketing
facilities than found in Georgia.

HIS VERACITY AT STAKE.
BUT NOT HIS INTEGRITY
An incident which revealed a de
gree of resurccfulness, quick think
ing, humor and frankness in busi
ness was revealed this week in a
conversation between the writer and
a local merchant.
This merchant’s absolute veracity
came out of the fray somewhat be
draggled, but his conscience is still
clear, and his integrity still remains
unquestioned, because he came out
straight from the shoulder with the
facts when brought to the pinch.
A lady came into his store the
j other day and asked if he had any
parafine. He did. Then she asked:
"How many glasses of jelly will
this package cover.?”
"Fifty,” was the prompt response.
1 The lady bought the parafine,
seemingly highly satisfied, and left,
j The merchant was, too, except that
there was one little phase of the
transaction which lingered in his
mind a few minutes.
A few days later the lady stepped
into the store again. The merchant 1
recognized her at once. She smiled
and said:
“You don’t know how many glass
es of jelly a package of parafine will
cover.”
"I know,” was the prompt response.
"Then why did you tell me fif
ty?” V
The merchant grinned an embar
rassed grin, but his gaze was steady. '
His veracity hung in the balance, but 1
he operated on the time-honored 1
princrple that confession is good for
the soul, and that frankness is a
jewel far more to be desired than 1
rubies.
“Well, to tell you the truth, lady,”
he said, “in the first place I didn’t
want you to think I was plumb ignor
ant in the second place I saw you were
in a Florida car, and in the third
place 1 never expected to see you
again.”
The lady's whole-hearted laugh
told the merchant he had touched the
right chord, and before she left she
had purchased several other articles.
| “But you know,” he said, scratch
ing his head, “I knew the minute that
| lady put her foot in the door the sec
ond time that something was up.”—

Safety In Driving
Forty-two thousand Americans have
been killed in motor car accidents,
during the laat two years. That is
ten thousand more than the num K tr
of American soldiers killed in a.'.kn
during the entire World War. It is
terrible indictment of our sportsman
ship, and our good sense, as well. It
docs not prove viclousßosa. It only
indicates carelessness, and lack of ap
preciation of the dangers involved.
By far the most of these deaths
could have been prevented, with a
little thoughtfulness and consider
ation. We believe much of the diffi
culty lies in ignorance on the part
of drivers of their rights, privileges
and resposibilities.
Let every driver in Georgia cot
out the set of “Rules of the Road”
herewith printed, and study them.
They are the accepted rules upon
which state laws and ordinances are
based throughout the country. They
may differ slightly in some localities,
but the fundamentals are the same.
If each automobile driver would ex
ercise just twice the care he did last
year ten thousand lives would be
saved, including possibly his own. is
it not worth the effort?
Always drive on the right hand
side of the road.
In meeting another vehicle, pass
to the right.
In overtaking another vehicle, pass
on the loft, after blowing your horn
to warn driver ahead. Never pass
on the left of ear ahead, if there la
a car approaching from the opposite
direction, at a distance of less than
1,00(1 feet. Slow down and wait for
the approaching car to pass.
When turning to the right, into
another highway*, keep close to right
hand curb. When turning to the
left into another highway, pass to
right of and beyond center of in
tersection.
Pedestrians and vehicles have right
of-way over any vehicles driving out
of or turning into an alley, stable,
garage or other urea or building, or
onto sidewalk.
Do not make “horseshoe turn” at
intersections where traffic office is
stationed, or where traffice is heavy.
Do not crocs in middle of block.
Never stop with left side of ve
hicle to curb.
Do not back to make a turn, but
go forward until turn can be made
without obstructing traffic.
Never stop on cross walks.
! Stop when street cars are loading
or unloading. Where safety zones
are established, pass only with the ut
most caution, and never at greater
speed than twelve miles per hour.
Police vehicles, fire apparatus and
ambulances have the right-of-way.
Pull in to the right when you hear
the gong or siren.
Slow moving vehicles must keep
close to the right hand curb.
Vehicles in front of street cars
must turn out into the clear immedi
ately upon signal from the motor
man.
Keep to the right of any division
in a highway.
Never drive through a funeral pro
cession.
Drive between safety zones and the
curb. Never drive to thu left of
these zones.
Never drive two-abreast on the
highway.
Never turn corners at high speed.
Never stop two cars opposite one
another on the highway to visit.
When approaching a congested
highway, whether marked or not, slow
down, or stop, and look both ways.
In ease of accident, you are always
wrong. The main highway has the
preference.
The Driver who deliberately as
sumes the Right of Way when he is
wrong or because the other car
[doesn't look as good or a; large as
his.
The Driver who forgets the other
fellow when he pari: ,i car in one
of the few available places and takes
up room enough for two cars.
The Driver who thinks his born is
un ornament and passes the fellow
a lead by speed alone.
