THE CHICKEN SALE
Co-operative Salts the Only Way to
Build Up Profitable Poultry
1 nduitry.
The chicken sale at Bamesville
Wednesday of last week, while a suc
cess and resulting in good money for
many poultry raisers, has taught
some lessons which must be taken
into consideration, or else the chicken
industry will go as all the past efforts
of the farmers to secure some money
making business aside from the grow
ing of cotton.
More than 200 people from this
county participated in the sale last
week and received in payment for
the chickens $1,410.19. The sale in
cluded 616 hens, 1,272 fryers, and 62
roosters, the total weight being
6,386 pounds. This made an aver
age of 73 cents per chicken. The
growers were charged 1 cent each to
pay the expense of handling them,
that is weighing the chickens, figur
ing the value, giving check and put
ting them in the car. This made a
total of $19.50 expense for all this
work.
Barnesville put in this car its
6,386 pounds of chickens, and then
3,645 pounds sent here from Forsyth
and 2,746 pounds from Thomaston,
all of which it took to make the car,
which was necessary to secure the
price which was paid for these chick
ens, which was higher by several
cents a pound than any other firm
could be induced to offer.
The fact is, Messrs. E. P. Drexel,
H. A. Cliett and D. L. Anderson, who
generously devoted their time in the
effort to help the chicken growers to
get a good price, were up against the
hardest kind of a proposition and
were embarrassed by the develop
ments leading up to the sale of this
| car. When they went into the mar
| ket to get an offer for the car of
chickens they found it difficult to get
any kind of an offer. Risser Bros.
Cos., of Philadelphia, under date of
June 23rd, wrote them th3t they had
been so much disappointed in Geor
gia because they had failed to get
car lots when promised car lots that
they did not expect to make any of
fer, but if a car was loaded
they would bid on it. They said
they had sent a man to different
points and then had failed to get
enough chickens to make it profit
able. Mr. Cliett would not let it
stop at that and wired them again
and received the offer of 18 cents for
hens, 28 cents for fryers and 7 cents
for roosters, which was higher by
several cents per pound than they
could get offered from any Georgia
or Florida firm. Risser Bros. Cos.
offer was with the guarantee that
there would be 14,000 pounds of
poultry for the car. Only two other
offers were received at all, one from
J. A. Kelly of Atlanta, and the other
from Williamson & Dennis of Jack
sonville, Fla.
Messrs. Drexel, Cliett and Ander
son finally guaranteed to Risser Bros.
Cos. the full car with the understand
ing that if the tonnage was not ob
tained their man should be paid
SIOO for his expenses. Thus it will
be seen what a chance these gentle
men took in behalf of the chicken
growers of this vicinity.
These gentlemen were disappoint
ed at the treatment accorded them
by a number of people. All that
they did was solely in the interest of
tho community and they did not re
ceive or expect a penny out of it.
Some people got impatient because
they could not be waited on the min
ute they reached here. Some who
brought chickens peddled them
around town in an effort to sell them
privately, thus defeating the very
purpose of the cooperative sale.
There ought not to have been a
chicken bought or sold here that day
except to Risser Bros. Cos. This is
absolutely the only way to build up
the chicken industry.
If the farmers and housekeepers of
Lamar county expect to grow chick
ens for sale and then be forced to
peddle them out to the few buyers in
Barnesville or some nearby town
they had better stay out of the
chicken business entirely. But if
they want to really build up the in
dustry where it will mean money and
good money raise chickens so that
every two or three months Risser
Bros. Cos., or some other big firm will
know that they can get a solid car of
fine chickens when their representa
tive comes hero for them and the
price will then be several cents high
er than they can get elsewhere and
there will be no doubt about the sale
for cash of every chicken that is
ready for the market.
The poultry growers can create a
profitable cash market and build up
to immense proportions the chicken
industry if they will work together
and with those who are trying to
help them do it or they can make
such a result absolutely impossible.
It is earnestly hoped they will join in
the only method possible to make the
chicken business amount to any
thing—COOPERATIVE GROWING
AND MARKETING.

The World’s Greatest Baking Powder
BIGGEST TIME OF HIS LIFE
Portsmouth, Va., June 27, 1922.
Dear Mr. Hardy:—
Well, I had the biggest time of my
life and every other old soldier as
well. Richmond certainly opened
her heart wide. I don’t believe she
could have done better. I wish I
could muster up language sufficient
to explain it.
I have not gone over any of the
battlefields but Petersburg. I went
by myself as I know it. I think I
know it better than I could be told.
I found the place where I was wound
ed, although the whole battlefield is
planted in peanuts, except where the
blow up was. There are pine trees
there. I also found the place where
I got the countersign from the
yankees. If you recollect Stonewall
captured five hundred head of beef
oxen. The lay of the ground is not
changed except the breast works are
leveled down to plant goobers on.
(I think it is a shame).
I will stay over here for a week
or two, then my idea is go over the
most of the battlefields around Rich
mond and those in the Shenandoah
valley. I guess it will take me until
frost. I am stopping with my
nephew and neice, Mr. and Mrs. May
hew. Mr. Mayhew works in the
navy yard and carried me through
most of the departments. It is
marvelous.
I saw your father. He can tell
you how I was received and how I
was hand shaken.
Kindest regards to everybody,
GEO. W. SHERAM.

MAKING COTTON ANYHOW
Mr. J. O. Franklin of Meansville,
a substantial citizen and farmer, was
in Barnesville Saturday and was
warmly greeted by friends.
Mr. Franklin made 8 bales of cot
ton last year in spite of the boll
weevil and he is expecting to do even
better this year. He says the way
he handles the little pest is by catch
ing him and killing him, hiring chil
dren to pick him from the stalks and
picking up all the fallen squares. He
has already picked and burned 5000
weevils from 32 acres and is keeping
right up with this work. Air. Frank
lin believes this is the best way to
make cotton under boll weevil condi
tions and he is certainly succeeding
to a considerable extent with his
plan. He thinks others should fol
low this plan, too, and make at least
a partial crop.
