TICK-FREE CATTLE.
The Cairo Messenger tells of the sale
by W. B. Rodenbery, of that place, of'
sixty-five head of beef cattle. These
animals were all raised in Grady coun
ty, and according to the Messenger,
were of the highest quality. They were 1
tick-free and without a blemish. The
cattle brought 7 cents a pound on the
hoof and netted Mr. Rodenbery some
tning over $3,000. Shipping cattle is no
new business for this south Georgian.
He has sent forward something like six
cars in the last six months. He does
not send the cattle to the West, but
! finds a market for them in Hertford,
' Ala., and Atlanta. No doubt, he could
sell some to the big packing plant at
Moultrie, if he desired.
There are two excellent features
about the raising and the sale of this
stock. One is that the animals, were
all raised in Georgia, and the other
that, they were sold in the South to
Southern concerns for Southern con
sumption. There is a fine outlook here
for men who want to find new means
of making money. The opening of the
packing houses in the smaller towns
of the state will mean that a ready
, market is at hand at all times for cat
tle tht will pass the United States gov
ernment inspectors after being dressed
as beef. Statesboro is doing a great
work in securing the capital for its
packing house, and it will soon be in a
position to prepare for market all the
hogs and cattle produced not alone in
Bulloch county, but throughout this
immediate section. Indeed, the prob
lem that is going to confront the new
packing houses is not so much as to
v/hat to do with their product after
they get it as to know' where to turn
to get the hogs and the cattle for prep
aration for market.
That will be the situation unless
there is a more decided impetus toward
raising livestock in Georgia than we
have had In the past. But the people
,who are in a position to remedy this
deficiency are waking up to their op
portunities and they will no doubt see
to it that the packing houses do not re
main ide for any great length of time.
There are many men like Mr. Roden
bery, of Grady county, who are now
nos alone giving serious thought to
raising cattle, but are actually raising
and selling them. The experience of
Chatham county in producing beef cat
tie upon its county farm is one that
should be an object lesson for all land
owners and farmers In this vicinity.
But the sooner everybody gets away
from the idea that there is money in
scrub cattle the better off we are go
ing to be. It means more money to
Georgia, and particularly to south
Georgia, if cattle really worth while
can be produced.—Savannah Press.
THE AMERICAN FLAG.
It is the banner of the land,
That regnant of the w est.
Impels the sons of other flags,
Where liberty is blest.
It flares upon the island shores,
And on the mountain slope;
It lights the gloom of tropic woods
With radiance of hope.
It blends the strains of east and west
And of the south and north
Wherever freedom strikes a spark
Its glory flashes forth.
Wherever progress lifts the weak,
Its crimson splendor streams;
It leads the sprit of the world
Far up the path of dreams.
It Is the stainless badge of peace.
Yet it was born In war,
It folds shall wave through fire and
blood
’Ere aught Its faith shall mar.

This flag, O Teuton, Celt and Slav,
No alien race can ban.
Beneath the stars that shine for all.
All are American!

HOW TO PREPARE, PLANT AND
COLTIMFE IRISH POTATOES
Fall potatoes: One of the most prof
itable crops, and one of the most use
ful that can jbe possibly be planted on
our Southern farms, is the fall crop
of Irish Potatoes.
Many people who have tried plant
ing this crop continue to do so, and
the interest is increasing. This crop is
different from the spring crop, will
keep almost indefinitely as they can be
housed in barrels; in an ordinary cel
lar, barn or any other dry cool place,
and are convenient for use throughout
the entire winter, and will keep per
fectly until June and July, when they
are ready for seed that a perfect stand
can be secured from. Therefore, this,
the Lookout Mountain Potato has been
grown year after year strictly for fall
planting, and the seed harvested in
October and November are best for
fall planting.
A perfect stand can be secured from
this seed as they are sprouted by June,
ready to germinate immediately after
being painted in the ground. They
will not make in the spring, as their
habits have been completely changed
owing to the continued fall planting
for more than 220 years.
The Lookout Mountain Potato is
sound and firm, there never being any
black hearts among them; also free
from scab. They are the best to keep,
heavy yielders, are mealy and the
very best of table potatoes.
One of the principal reasons why
people should plant this potato ex
tensively is because they can be cul
tivated at a time when labor Is usually
plentiful, and not much else to do on
the farm. Furthermore, their keeping
quality Is another reason why you
should plant them and you are never
bothered with the dreaded bugs with
this crop, as they do not propagate
during the cool nights of September
and October.
If the following instructions are
carried out you can easily produce
from 100 to 200 bushels per acre on
good land. The proper way to plant
and cultivate them, for instance; after
grain crops have been harvested the
stubble land is ideal for growing theee
potatoes. The ground should be first
roughly broken with a 2 to 4-inch
scooter, harrowed thoroughly with a
disk harrow, and a few days after thie
ground should be turned deep with a
two-horse plow; harrowed thoroughly
and either rolled or dragged. Every
a and 7 days a weeder or peg-toothed
harrow should be run over the ground
to keep It open and moisture circulat
ing in the seed and. Any time after
the sth of July to the 20th of August
for middle and south Georgia is the
proper time to plant as it requires
about 90 days for them to mature.
W. J. Josey has a limited amount of
these potatoes on hand, put in your
order to be in time. adv.
