FINE HOG AND
CHICKEN SALE
Ninth Golden Rule Sale Monday
Proved Interesting and
Profitable.
The ninth Golden Rule Sale, un
der the auspices of the Barnesville
Advertising club, held Monday again
proved the worth of the enterprise
which was inaugurated some time
ago by a number of the merchants
and business men of Barnesville. But
for the club and the backing which it
has given the enterprises of the coun
ty probably no cooperative sales of i
hogs or chickens would ever have j
been held in Lamar county. These
sales have proved a revelation and
an inspiration to hundreds of our
people and they have clearly demon
strated what may be accomplished,
when the people get togehter for mu
tual good.
Farmers brought in Monday exact
ly 90 head of fine hogs which they
had been feeding and caring for for
this sale and the lot of hogs was
perhaps the best lot which had ever
been assembled in Lamar or any ad
oining county. Probably 80 per cent
of all these hogs graded No. 1, which
again shows what can be accom
plished in growing hogs.
The White Provision Cos., of At
lanta, sent a representative fyere, who
bought the entire lot, which were
placed in two cars, and shipped to
Atlanta. The price paid was $8.60
per hundred. The lot brought into
the pockets of the farmers $1,750.
County Agent H. A. Cliett had
worked hard on the proposition and
is gratified at the success v of the sale.
He weighed and graded the hogs as
they came in, in which he was gen
erously assisted by other citizens.
The hog sale Monday makes about
§5,000 which has been realized from
the two sales in Lamar this year.
This certainly makes a good start and
perhaps as much or more will be re
ceived from sales before 1922 comes
to a close. It shows that there is a
ready cash sale for hogs when put in
condition and handled cooperatively.
It should convince everybody that
there is money in raising hogs and
the industry should be actively and
rapidly developed in Lamar county.
The chicken sale Monday amount
ed to nearly 2,000 pounds, and the
entire lot was bought by Mr. J. A.
j Kelly, an Atlanta dealer. The price
[paid was 21 cents for fryers, 16 cts.
for hens, and 9 cts. for roosters.
This price, as that of hogs, is off from
j what it was some months ago, but
the prices realized Monday were
splendid comparatively and general
satisfaction has been expressed over
the results.
Monday’s sales, added to previous
chicken sales in Lamar within recent
[months, makes a total of more than
$3,000 received for chickens this
year in the special cooperative sales.
f This also shows how mofiey and good
money can be made out of the chick
jen business and it should be de
j veloped to the extent that several
i car loads would go out of the county
| every year. About SIO,OOO has thus
'far come into Lamar county this year
from cooperative sales of hogs and
chickens.
If the plan of growing and selling
hogs, chickens and other farm pro
ducts is followed as it may be it is
only a question of time when our
people will be absolutely independent
of the cotton and boll weevil condi
tions and they will be prosperous and
happy.
The merchant members of the Ad
vertising club who had special offer
ings for Monday had increased sales
over regular business. Some of
them were surprised at the sales they
had and nearly everyone was pleased
v/ith the results of the day’s business.
For example, the L. A. Collier
store had on an offering of ginghams
and every yard except two was dis
posed of during the day. There were
numerous other instances of like
character among the merchants who
had an advertisement in the Golden
Rule News.
Mi3S Lola Milner will be glad to
hear from any parents who wish to
enter their children in her private
[classes, to begin in September.
