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.
