GEORGIA CAN RAISE GOOD BEEF CATTLE Prizes Have Been Won At Big Live Stock Shows. That superior beef cattle can be pro-, duced in Georgia is clearly shown by i the accompanying photograph of an outstanding Hereford bull bred and raised in this state. During the last five years no state in the Union has bought a larger percentage of well bred, outstanding Hereford cattle. Much should be expected of such foundation breeding stock. Where they have been given reasonable care and attention, they have developed here just as well as in any section of the United States. Some of the breeders have not been contented with defeating the breed ers from the Middle West that have exhibited at the Georgia fairs. They have actually invaded the state fairs of the Middle W'est and have won blue ribbons at the Kansas City Royal and the great International Live Stock Exposition held in Chicago. Truly these achievements should be the means of encouraging more Georgia farmers to engage in the production of either market or pedigreed beef cat tle. The second annual sale of the Geor gia Hereford Breeders’ Association will be held at the Miller Union Stock Yards in Atlanta, April 14, 1919. Ten choice bulls and fifty females will be sold at this time. Mr. C. F. Shingler, Ashburn, Ga., is sales manager, and he will be pleased to mail catalogues to any interested parties. Not only the prospective buyers but every one Interested in diversified farming should attend this sale so as to see the splen did, tangible evidence of the kind and quality of cattle that are being produc ed within our own borders. —M.

For years past the Southern states have been furnished with dairy prod ucts from the Northern states at mod erate prices. However, this has changed, and at the present time prices are so exorbitant, if the products come from the Northern states, that it would be wise for us to do all we can to increase dairy cattle here in the South, so that we can suply the demand of our people. The time will never come when we will be able to buy milk for six cents a quart as we used to buy it only a few years ago. Then, some feeds cost $30.00 per ton; now, the same feeds cost $70.00 per ton. Labor was worth $25.00 per man per month; now, it is up to from $50.00 to $60.00 per man per month. Even though feed and labor go down in price, the price paid for dairy products will remain as it is at the present time. Before the war people did not real ize the value of these products, and, consequently, did not use but very lit tle of any of them; but through edu cational campaigns during the war, the eyes of the consumer have been open ed to the importance of the use of dairy products as constituting the main portion of the daily diet. So, we should expect that the dairymen would realize more and more as other expenses are being lowered. MANY HOGS INOCULATED. Approximately a quarter of a mil lion hogs, 252,763 to be exact, were in oculated with preventive serum by county agents in Georgia in 1918-19. Hog cholera is being gradually stamp ed out and progressive fanners every where are having their hogs inocu lated. CHEESE FACTORY BUILT. The first cheese factory in Geor gia has been established at Young Harris and several other towns in the northern section of the state are plan ning to follow Young Harris. In other sections cream routes are be ing established to supply the demand of the cities. Thirty five routes have been started by the extension division of the Georgia State College of Agri culture this year. Fanners who are interested in getting a cream route in their community should take the mat ter up with their county or write di rect to the College. 3,500 CAPTURED GERMAN HELMETS TO OE GIVEN IN VICTORY LOAN Inspecting cases ®f German helmets. The two civilians are, left, Frank R. Wilson, director of publicity, and, right, L. B. Franklin, director of the war loan organization. Workers in the approaching Victory Loan campaign who render efficient service in obtaining subscriptions to the “finish the job loan,” will be the proud possessore of genuine Hun hel mets, taken from captured German prisoners or found on the battlefields of France after their former owners had no further use for headgear, It is announced by the headqiuarters of the Sixth Federal Reserve District at At lanta. Three thousand five hundred of these helmets, averaging eight to a county, will arrive at the headquarters soon, and will be distributed. The exact basis upon which they will be awarded has not yet been determined, but it will as sure the eal workers of a chance at the souvenirs. Hun helmets will dec orate many a home in the South soon. In some instances they probably will be converted into cuspidors. Preparations for the Victory Loan are going on rapidly, and the opening day, April 21, probably will find a big proportion of the state and county quotas ready for immediate subscrip tions. This will be especially so in counties where the individual quota system is being used. By this plan ev ery resident of the county will be no tified, before the opening day, of what he is expected to subscribe. It Is ex what^worryT THIS QUESTIONNAIRE j MAY SOLVE PROBLEM • The government already Is exploit- j ing the Victory Liberty Loan, which | will be floated in April, in order that , the people may start saving for the j purpose of Investing in bonds of the “Victory issue.” The following brief questionnaire should tend to clarify the mind of any reader regarding the Victory Loan: Q. The war being over, why is there need of another great popular war loan ? A. The proceeds from the Fourth Loan, according to Secretary of the Treasury Glass, were exhausted last December, and the government must have billions more with which to maintain our forces overseas, bring the victors home and carry out its re construction plans. Q. If Uncle Sam’s strong-box Is empty, how is he paying his after-war expenses? A. This is being done with money borrowed from the banks at the rate of 600,000,000 every two weeks, short term anticipation certificates of indebt edness being issued in return. Q As long as the banks are ad vancing the money, why not let them continue to do so? A. Because in order to continue to extend credit to the business interests big and little of the country the banks must get back this money— amounting to 20 per cent of their entire re sources —when it falls due > as only thus can the prosperity we now enjoy be continued. q. Will the Victory Loan be of fered to the people on a commercial basis, or will their patriotism again he appealed to? A. Secretary Glass says the pa triotism of the American people will be relied upon to send the loan trium phantly “over the top." It, however, will be made particularly attractive as to rate of interest and period of ma turity. Citation. Georgia Montgomery County.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1919 pected to have every citizen carry hls own share of the quota, instead of let ting his more patriotic neighbors car ry more than their share. Local com mittees will hear appeals from those who consider their quota too high. In most instances, the same ldyal workers who carried the former loans to success will form the committees on the Victory Loan. At recent state conferences they expressed confidence in being able to put the job through, and their enthusiasm is certain to car ry them to succesa. Treasury department officials who have sounded out the sentiment of the whole country are confident that the people are willing to lend to their country for the purpose of finishing the job and paying the war bills. They understand the gigantic work that is still going on, and the necessity ol bringing the boys back home; of giv ing the wounded men that education and instruction which will enable them to get a fresh start. The Governmenl has still a big task before it, and ths expenditures are still large. But they are far smaller in money—to say noth Ing of more precious lives —than If th« war had continued. So the term, "Thanksgiving Loan,” may well be ap plied to this, the last of the govern ment’s Invitations to its people to lend their money to their nation. IMPORTANT ROLE PRACTICALLY ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND COOLIES SENT TO FRANCE. What optimist a generation ago would have thought that backward China would have a hand in the settle ment of a world war? But China is having a very important role in the great war that is just being brought to a close. Not as soldiers —fighting men —but as laborers behind the front line trenches. And just so many al lied troops have been released for other duties. Practically one hundred and fifty thousand of these coolies have been transported byway of the Suez to France. This work has been done under the direction of the British Government and Church Missionaries. Among these missionaries are many of :he Methodist Episcopal Church, South, which is just finishing the details of its campaign May 18-25 to secure $35,- 000,000 te further work of the kind that is being done in France and other places. BANDING TOGETHER TO SPREAD GOSPEL Nashville, Tenn —One hundred and forty thousand Southern Methodists have signified their determination to pray for the success of the missionary work of the M. E. Church, South, and tor the spread of Christianity through out the world These people have not only decided to do this, but have band ed together in a league known as the Fellowship of Intercession, each sign ing a small card which It is thought will make the cause for which they pray more definite in the minds of the signers of the cards. Dr. S. A. Neblett, secretary of the Department of Intercession of the de nomination, stated to a reporter that the way in which the prayer cards were coming in was an inspiration From two thousand to five thousand Os these are opened in the mail every morning, the number of 140,000 rep resenting the complete total up to date Monumental Work.
