TUESDAY AFTERNOON. NOVEMBER 11, 1924 C. OF Gl. PROPOSES NOVEL PUN BRING NEW SETTLERS HEBE Propose* Plan Whereby Fa m- From Others Sections Will Be Induced to Settle in Sumter An advertising plan under the provisions of . hich the Central of Georgia Railway will co-operate in securing settlers for farm lands in Georgia and Alabama is announced by President L. A. Downs in an in teresting statement published to day. Mr. Downs points out that the South’s undeniable advantages of long-growing seasons, ample rain fall, mild winters, crop variety and low-priced lands appeal to many farmers residing in other sections. He believes that the five essential requirements to attract settlers are farms capable of profitable crop production, reasonably priced, of a workable size, for sale upon fav orable terms with modern improve ments. The Central of Georgia is willing to advertise such farms in publica tions which are read by the class of home-seekers desired, and to pre pare and mail pamphlets which will set forth the advantages of this section for home-seekers, provided tha| the land ownersfi real estate agent, commercial organizations, ' and others interested, will offer for sale a total of not less than 200 farms located along the lines of the Central of Georgia Railway and within 8 miles of a Central station. It is suggested that the farms should range in size from 40 to 200 acres; should be under definite op tion, running until April 30, 1925; that there should be not less than 10 such places in eac hcommunity, and that the terms of sale should require not more than one-fifth cash as initial payment with bal ance in 15 or more annual install ments, at a fair rate of interest. It is further suggested that suitable , improvements or some definite ar rangements to finance the construe tions of buildings should be offer ed and that at least one-third to one-half of the land should be cleared and ready for cultivation. In announcing the readiness of the railroad to take the lead in ad vertising such offerings, Mr. Downs says: “The Central of Georg’a be lieves, in the light of past exeperi encc, that these requirement.. arc not unreasonable. Wc know that this section possesses prcd'.i -tiv. land which can be bought for prices which are relatively low when com pared with those in oth:r sections which are successful in attracting home-seekers. We believe that the problem which must be solved is to offer these lands in such away as will give desirable settlers a real opportunity to buy.” Those interested in taking ad vantage of the Central’s offer should write to J. F. Jackson, Gen eral Agricultural Agent of th? rail road, at Savannah, Georgia. It is believed that many communities can FISH I OYSTERS ! SHRIMP!

W. KELLER, Eminent Poultry Expert f- --...---I IIXJLIJ *JJ M !•> « U i In th? p mltry industry the poultry man Isas no more important prob lem than successfully getting the fowl- hiu the molting period. Slow moft’.g is usually an indication of faulty management, so it is of prime importance if the healthy progeny far a breeding season is desired that t-. poultryman take every precau ti -n to insure a quick, clean heavy molt f r his fl ck. A fowl goes thru n i more, trying ordeal than the molt ing peri., I, v. hen nature places a i lain on th ; birds in preparing them t< withstand the rigors of cold weatlr r. Many fowls are allowed to continue I\, ir.g when they should bo resting and molting. Unless they arc. won dei fully strong in constitution the changing of the plumage becomes a tedious and weakening process. It is unnatural t.. expect a fowl to molt and lay eggs at the same time. It may be true that the unforced lay ing ability of a fowl during the molt ing period is an indication of indi vidual birds high fecund qualities, but that does not justify forcing an other bird to undergo the double strain of molting and laying eggs at a time, when she should b? storing her energy Instead of expending it. Experienced poultrymen know that the fowls should continue to lay dur ing the molting period generally do not parent the strongest of chicks in the following breeding season. They cannot be expected to molt, produce eggs, and build up body-tis sue all at the same time. Molting a Strain on Birds It is against nature’s law for a fowl to reproduce its kind during the molting season. If birds are to be killed when egg production ceases, it may be all right irrespective of the molt to get as many eggs as possible out of them before they are disposed of, but if they are to be retained for next season’s breeding pens they should not be forced to Jay during the molting period. By putting the birds on a feather pro ducing diet and furnishing them with a good body regulator t.? hapten the period of the molt, egg produc tion may cease for the time, the molt will bo qu’ckly over, the birds will have a rest that will fit them admirably for heavy egg production and breeding when the molting per iod is passed. The eggs lost during the time of the melt will generally bo made u; by the egg production which will follow litter on. The vitality of the birds will n-pan rtorq and greater productive effort when the mt.lt is completed. Th? eggs laid during the forthcoming Lr.-eding season will contain the otrengest of life, germs and will be- most suitable f r artificial incubation. In the case of breeders, the few extra < ggs pro duc< J during the molting time arc likely to be followed by many use less eggs at a time when chicks arc required. If ycur birds are laying and molting at the same time, and such, birds are intended fcr next season’s breeding pens, a change cf food for a few days will generally be sufficient to ch< < k laying without interfering with feather growth. Food Big Factor in Molting The I’rait Poultry Experimental Farm, at I hiiadelphia, Pa., has nu de avtenrdve experiments into the qir s i< n oi food best calculate d at this SUB-CHASER SMASHES LAUNCH, TWO DEAD MOBILE, Ala., Nov. 11.— Twc persons were drowned md Hire'; others escaped by “wimming ashore when a small launch occupied by a party of prominent Mobile hunters was cut in two by the U. S', sub chaser SC-154. According to those on board the bunting launch, the rub-chaser swept around a bend in lhe river at THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER period to aid the hen and have a prepared mash which should be fed the molting hens. It has been found that this mash is the best main feed for molting fowls. If it is used in conjunction with green food, grit, charcoal and clean drinking water, the molting birds should change their plumage without difficulty. It will be found that the molt af fects birds differently. Some molt thru quickly while others drag in the process. It is to the latter that the poultryman must devote special care. A prolonged slow molt will mean a shortage of eggs at a time when such are required for early chicken production. When fowls ap pear listless in ths molt it is a sign of weakness, and it is imperative before anything else is done that lice or other parasites be removed. Lib eral applications of Pratt’s lice kill er should bo used. It is well after these measures have been used to rid the birds of parasites to look to the food being given the birds. A good poultry regulator should be given to them. The Pratt Poultry Experimental Farm has embodied in their commer cial ready mixed feed many cf the essential requisites needed to put life and vigor into the listless molt ing hen. The poultry regulator put out by this bureau combines the elements to hasten the molt of the birds, to maintain their vigor dur ing this period. Molting Fowls Need Great Care A quick, clean, healthy molt, en sures healthy progeny in the follow ing breeding season. To adhere to 11 o usual course cf feeding and gen eral management during the molting season is to run the risk of having the stock debilitated. The molt is a special ordeal which calls for spec ial treatment. It is the meat trying ord, al which nature calls upon a fowl to bear. It is the most exact ing time on a pcultryman who has the welfare cf '..is stock at heart. This series cf articles is intended to point cut to the pcultryman the things to do to make his deck profit able The Pratt Poultry Experiment al Farm Bureau,’ working in con junction with the different state ag ricultural colleges and universities are doing everything possible to help .he poultrynen cf America make a success of their business.
