FREIGHT RATES ON GEORGIA
PEACHES ARE TOO HIGH NOW
ATLANTA, Ga., June 4—lt costs $lB6
to ship a carload of peaches from Fort
Valley, Ga., to New York city, a dis
tance of 996 miles, while the cost of
shipping a carload of oranges from
Orlando, Fla., to New York is $lB3 for
a distance of 1,166 miles. Yet the rail
roads propose to to increase the rates
on peaches 15 per cent on the plea of
war-time necessity.
The above striking comparison and
many others, showing that rates on
Georgia peaches are too high already,
were submitted to the Interstate Com
merce Commission by General Manager
B. J. Christman of the Georgia Fruit
Exchange, who has just returned from
Washington in high hopes that the
proposed advance will be denied.
Any fears that the peach crop would
be denied cars on the ground that
peaches are a luxury was dismissed by-
Herbert Hoover’s statement that fruit
is an important article of diet.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
Promoting Our Animal Industries
By Andrew M. Soule, Pres. Ga. State College of Agriculture
One of Georgia's greatest assets
consists of the very considerable
number of farm animals she pos
sesses. Os course, we need
many more. That attention is being
directed to this matter, however, is
evidenced by the fact that the number
of our hogs has increased at the rate
100,000 a year for eight years. Their
quality has also been greatly improved.
We are bringing in a considerable
number cf pure bred sires of several
important breeds and thereby increas
ing the individual value ’of our beef
and dairy cattle.
Draft animals of the Percheron type
are also finding more favor than hith
erto. How has this result been
brought about? Primarily through the
activities of the College of Agriculture
T IM m ® winn
: ’Q .•- --t ... I|j I
and its extension workers who have
aided farmers in selecting breeding
stock.
The manufacture and distribution of
hog cholera serum at cost has also
enabled farmers to fight this disease
with remarkable success, as the in
crease of our swine fully demonstrates.
We are now face to face with the
problem of changing our methods of
farming, diversifying, for instance, and
increasing our holdings of livestock in
order that we may utilize our lands to
advantage and vary the crops we grow
thereon under that type of practice
which the boll w-eevil will make it nec
essary for us to employ. Even though
the boll weevil should reduce the re
turns from our cotton fields by $5,000,-
000.00 or $20,000,000.00, there is no
reason why we should not make up
this loss and add an increment of $25,-
000,000.00 besides, thus emphasizing
our livestock industries. To do this
we must educate our boys, for live
stock production is a highly specialized
business, as the notable success of Eng
lish and Scotch breeders has shown.
We must also provide our state with
a sufficient number of expert, trained
veterinarians to care for the health of
our animals in a satisfactory manner.
We are today losiqg $5.000,000.00 from
diseases and exposure alone. This is
a heavy drain on the resources of the
Georgia farmer which is largely pre
ventable. *
Nothing worth while is accomplished
without leadership. Therefore, the Col-
which is now located at Plains, Geor
gia, in which hospital medical, surgi
cal gynecological and obstetrical cases
are treated, as well as the treatment
of such other cases as are treated in
general hospitals.

The object of eaid corporation is to
establish a training school for nurses,
in order that persons desiring to be
come trained nurses may serve the re
quired time in the aforesaid hospital
or sanitorium, and have issued to them
jy said corporation a proper certificate
of graduation, as by law in such cases
made and provided.
I.V.
The business io be carried on by said
ccrporation, is to establish a system
for training nurses, and to provide for
courses of lectures to be given by the
physicians employed in, and connected
with The Wise Sanitorium.
The Wise Sanitorium Training school
will be connected with the Wise Sani
torium at Plains. Georgia, for the pur
poses aforementioned; however, peti

training school in connection with any
other general hospital or sanitorium
in which these petitioners, or the cor

lege of Agriculture, through its Ani
mal Husbandry Division, is endeavor
ing, to provide it in an acceptable form.
It cannot do this unless it has the
proper equipment. At present stock
judging, for instance, which acquaints
students with the nature and charac
ter of the different breeds of animals,
is conducted on a few benches out
in the open and the work has to be
abandoned altogether in inclement
weather. For this reason the Trustees
of the College of Agriculture and the
members of the various farmers’ or
ganizations have decided to ask the
approaching session of the Legislature
for an animal husbandry building
which will worthily represent the needs
of this industry and provide the proper
facilities for the students’ instruction.
The accompanying picture gives an
idea of its exterior appearance. The
outside finish of the building will be
light buff brick with a stand stone belt
course and window sills. The lintels
and capitals of t-he pilaster columns
will be cf the same material. The
roof will be of red tile, the building
thereby conforming in appearance and
finish to those already erected on the
campus. This building will be very
plain, but substantially constructed. It
will have a seating capacity of 1,800,
and if the arena is filled with seats
it will be 3,500. It will thus afford a
proper place of sufficient size for the
farmers of Georgia to hold all sorts of
meetings and to observe the practical
judging, handling and management of
all classes of livestock. It will pro
vide a place in which to hold livestock
sales, that a better class of breeding
animals may be widely disseminated in
Georgia.
The judging ring will be 35 feet by
110 feet in the clear. The building
will be 75 feet wide and 150 feet long.
There will be suitable offices, box stalls
for livestock, class rooms and such
other equipment as an up-to-date build
ing of this character should possess.
It will be heated by steam and lighted
by electricity. Special pains have been
taken to provide for good ventilation
through the use of monitor windows.
In honoring this great industry and
providing for proper instruction there
in the state is simply taking out the
best boll weevil insurance possible.
come effective at any time a majority
of the stock of said corporation is vot
ed in favor of such increase. The
shares of said capital stock to be divid
ed into One Hundred Dollars each, the
full amount of capital stock to be em
ployed has Heen actually subscrib
ed and paid in.
VI.
Petitioners desire the right to sue
and be sued; plead and be impleaded;
to have and use a common seal; make
by-laws suitable to the purposes of the
corporation; execute notes, bonds and
other evidences cf indebtedness, and to
secure same by mortgage or security
deed and other forms of lien as may be
desired, and to do all other things nec
essary to the successful operation ot
said business, and not in conflict with
the laws of said state.
Wherefore, petitioners pray .0 be in
corporated under the name and style
aforesaid, with the powers, privileges
and immunities herein set forth, and
as are allowed to corporations of sim
ilar character, under the laws of the
State of Georgia.

Even though Buckeye Hulls do sell at a much lower price than old

until you consider how much more real roughage a ton contains.

Mr. Dan Wolf, Hammond Bldg. &Mfg. Co,, Hammond, La.,says:
“I am feeding Buckeye Hulls to milch cows and find
them a satisfactory filler when mixed with cottonseed
meal and other concentrates. At the present price of
feed stuff, Buckeye Hulls are the cheapest roughage on
the market."
To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the nest feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
