Cattle to Mean
Wealth South.
That the southern farmer who
raises a surplus of corn and farm
roughages can market them at a
handsome price through steers of
good quality, when properly pur
chased, and can retain fertilizing
elements of the feeds on his
farm, is clearly shown in recent
investigations by the United Sta
tes Department of Agriculture.
Three lots of native steers,
grade animals 2 to 3 years old, of
medium to good quality, ar d
averaging about 285 (founds at
the beginning of the experiment,
were fed for about five months
on full feed. The animals in lot
1 received a daily allowance of
31*. 1 pounds of corn silage, 5.7
pounds of cottonseed meal, 4.5*!
pounds of oat straw; those of lot
2, 37.4 pounds of corn silage, 7.6'
pounds of ear corn, .‘1 pounds < f
cottonseed meal, and 2.9 pounds
of oat straw; and the steers of
lot 3, 38.5 pounds of corn silage,
6 pounds shelled corn, 3 pounds
cottonseed meal, and 3.5 pounds
of oat straw.
At marketing time these groups
of animals averaged, respectively,
1,044, 1,067, and 1,066 pounds an
animal, the beeves of lot 1 having
accomplished a daily gain of 1.56
pounds, those of lot 2, 1.66
pounds, and the animals of group
3, 1.7 pounds during the feeding
period.
When the pork made is credited
to the steers of lots 2 and 3, they
paid for corn at 70 cents a bushel,
and then made over sl4 a head
profit, or almost as much income
as resulted from the cottonseed
meal-fed steers. Without hogs
following the steers the feeding
of corn would have been consider
ably less profitable than feeding
cottonseed meal alone. It cost
19.53 to make 100 pounds of gain
in the case of lot 1, $10.82 for lot
2, and $10.75 for lot 3, where no
pork credit is given the steers.
Each steer in lots 1,2, and 3
made a net profit of $15.19, $11.87,
and #11.38 respectively, when no
credit is given the steers of lots
2 and 3 for the pork produced.
This pork credit probably amount
ed to about $3 a steer.
It is particularly noteworthy
that the shrinkage in transit to
market of these cattle during a
31-hour run ranged from 54 to 64
pounds a head, which indicates
that silage, where properly fed
in conjunction with supplemen
tary grains, results in less shrink
age in transit than where cattle
are fattened on grass and mar
keted directly from pastures.
The steers under consideration in
this experiment made good kill
ing records, the carcasses being
well covered with fat and gener
ally satisfactory. The amimals
of lot 1 made a dressing record of
68.2 por cent, those of lot 2,
67.8 per cent, and those of lot 3,
67 4 percent of marketable meat.
New Church for Vidalia.
Vidalia, April 20. —Architect B.
F. Hunt, of Chattanooga, Tenn.,
has been in the city this week
arranging for making the plans
for the new Methodist church
that is to be erected in this city
at once. It is proposed to put
about $25,000 in the new house,
which will be one of the most up
to-date church buildings in this

Bureau of Markets
Will Supply Information.
If there are Georgia growers of
hogs, or a number of growers in
any community who have, at any
time, a carload shipment of hogs
for market, and will notify the
State Bureau of Markets, the
bureau will be glad to bring them
into communication with the
markets paying the highest
prices.
Investigations have been made
by the bureau in this direction,
and it is prepared to furnish
growers of hogs with information
that will be of material advan
tage to them when they have
carload lots of hogs to offer.
SHORT TERM BONDS
AT HIGH INTEREST
FOR VICTORY LOAN
Fifth Issue of Liberty Bonds
Will Be Most Attractive
Investment of All, in the
Opinion of Finan
cial Experts
The fifth Issue of Liberty bonds, or
"Victory Bonds" as they will be called,
will offer the inventor the most attrac
tive opportunity of any Issue made
by the government, according to a
tentative agreement made by Secre
tary of the Treasury Carter Glass with
the ways and means committee of
the National House of Ilepresenta
tives
It Is considered probable that the
bonds will pay a higher rate of Inter
est than any of the previous Issues,
hut they will be issued for shorter
terms, maturing In from one to fire
years.
The government does not wish to
assume the obligation of a high In
terest rate for a long period of years,
but is willing to pay an attractive rate
during the present unsettled condi
tions. It Is expected that events will
so shape themselves In the next few
years that a holder of these short
term bonds, after drawing a good In
terest rate until they mature, will then
be able to "cash them In" and invest
the returns in business or In other
forms of securities at an advantage
ous time. For this reason it Is ex
pected that the new bonds will find a
ready market.
Secretary Glass announces that an
intensive popular campaign for the
Victory loan will start not later than
definite statement as to Interest tax ex
emptions or other details will be m&du
much In advance of that date, as con
ditlons are constantly changing. But
that the new bonds will be made an at
tractive Investment Is considered cer
tain.
Secretary Makes Statement
An official statement issued by »ec
retary Glass follows:
"The Victory IJberty Ixmn campaign
will begin not later than April 21 The
requirements of the treasury are iiu
peratlve and canmft be financed with
out such a campaign. The form and
terms of the securities to be issued
remain to be determined. Whether
tiiey be bonds or notes, it Is absolutely
essential that the widest possible
measure of distribution be realised
This will necessitate a campaign of
the same character as that conducted
In the past through the existing Lib
erty Goan organizations. They have
pledged again their united support In
order that the 'Victory Liberty Goan
bonds or notes may be distributed as
widely as possible among the Ameri
can people."
This furnishes the first official no
tlce of the date of the campaign, and
disposes of the rumor that securities
w ..uld be disposed of among the banks
instead of being offered the general
public.
Workers Are Busy
Reports received from chairmen and
oilier members of the Liberty Goan or
g; ulzattons all over the country und
especially in the Sixth Federal Re
serve District, gives assurance that
the faithful workers in former cam
paigns do not Intend to quit until the
job Is finished Organization is be
ing perfected well in advance, and
plans laid for a brief and effective
campaign.
Four types of bonds are now be
ing considered by the Treasury De
partment, to suit varying tastes In in
vestments. Their principal features
are:
One class of bonds at a low rate
of Interest, possibly four per cent, and
exempt from all federal taxation; one
at a comparatively high rate; possl
bly five per cent, and subject to all
federal taxes; a third bearing a mod
crate rate of Interest, perhaps 4<4 per
cent, and exempt from normal income
tax; and a fourth class, exempt from
taxation up to a certain amount.
“Finish The Job” Motto

Everybody hates a quitter!
Uncle Sam is going to finish every

Uncle Sam and the Allies are finish

In Europe, where they propose to stop
wars forever.
We are going to finish another at
home, by puyiug the big bills this
war cost ue.
The Victory Lanin will attend to
that. The job Is uot finished until the
bills are paid.
We went Into this war on a big
scale, which was the only way to win
We couldn't provide men and muni
tions and ships and food in a hand
to mouth way. The big scale on which
Uncle Sam went to work was one
thing that made the Kaiser quit so
quickly He saw- we were In the war
to the finish.
There Is to be just one more Lib
erty loan—the Victory loan, and that
w ill wind up tlie Jbb
It will take around five billion dol
lars to puy the war bill. Uncle Sam
proposes to borrow the money from
his nephews, on short term bonds at a
good Interest rale.

Mr. Bruce Mclntyre, son of
Mr. George Mclntyre, was an
interesting visitor to Mt. Vernon
Tuesday. He returned Friday
from overseas, where he saw
service for nearly a year, having
been in number of very important
battles. His account of life on
the front is very interesting.

If Germany Had Won
the War —Then What?
Americans generally are woe
fully unappreciative of the sav
ings of our victory over Germany.
We have lost our sense of per
spective in the gladness that the
end of hostilities brought to us
all. In our getting back to busi
ness.
We are too much inclined to re
gard it all as a closed incident.
Germany had set $40,000,000,-
000 as the amount of the indemni
ty she would demand of America
after she had subdued the world.
And had she won Germany
would have collected it.
Right now she would have been
emptying the warehouses of
their store of raw materials. She
would have been taking inventory
of the vaults of our banks. She
would have been keeping the
presses of the bureau of engrav
ing and printing busy making
American greenbacks. And the
mints working overtime.
You and I and the other fellow
would have been subjected to a
quiz beside which the income tax
collector’s would have been a
joke.
Every dollar that went to fill
the German coffers would have
been lost to America for all time.
German liners, instead of bring
ing back our boys as they are to
day, would 1 ave been hurrying
to the Fatherland cargoes that
would put the dreams of Pizarro
and his lust for treasure trove to
utter shame.
Our railroads would have been
cluttered up with special trains
carrying the loot of America to
the Atlantic seaports. Our in
dustries would have been sacri
ficed wantonly to the German
ambition to monopolize the world
trade. Depression would have
been mantling the country like a
shroud.
And Mr. Farmer, instead of
getting $2.26 a bushel for his
wheat this year would be lucky
to escape with his barns left
standing.
We must not forget these
thi lgs now that Uncle Sam asks
us for additional financial assis
tance.
We must appreciate fully these
enormous savings of victory.
And prove it by subscribing
liberally to the Victory-Liberty
Loan.

Has Found Market
for Spanish Peanuts.
Atlanta, April 21.—The State
Bureau of Markets has located
in St. Louis a large sheller of
peanuts who is in the market for
fifty carloads of white Spanish
peanuts, and is offering 6 cents a
pound for them in bulk, or 6 1-4
cents sacked f. o. b. cars at Geor
gia shipping points.
This price which amounts to
$l2O and $125 per ton, respective
ly, is considered good, in view of
the recent market in Georgia and
is about in line with what the
bureau stated they should bring,
when it advised the growers last
fall, not to let them go at the low
prices then prevailing.
While in St. Louis a few days
ago on business for the market
bureau, Director L. B. Jackson
called on this firm of peanut
shellers and secured the foregoing
offer. The company desires a
strictly high grade grade White
Spanish peanut, as they are to be
used as food. The market bu
reau will be glad to put in direct
touch with the St. Louis firm
anyone who has peanuts of this
character for sale.
Stretcher Bearer Gives

LEND AT INTEREST
OR PAY MORE TAXES
WE MOST CHOOSE
We Cheered Far Peace And Now We
Must Pay For It, In One Way
Or The Other
The Victory Loan campaign is
close at hand.
It is only a short time before we
who threw our hats into the air and
cheered on that November day when
the armistice was signed will be call
ed upon to prove that we are as ready
to lend as to cheer.
A soldier returning from France to
his home city, remarked to a citizen
who met him with a hand-shake:
"This welcome and flowers are all
very nice. But how about a job?"
Uncle Sam can well say to his peo
ple:
“That cheering for peace wes fine.
But how about paying the bills for
bringing it about?”
The war bills must be paid. Any
body can see that. There are two
ways to pay them.
One is to borrow the money from the
people. The other is to tax it out of
the people.
Our war taxes—most of them on
luxuries—are heavy enough now. But
unless the Victory Loan is liberally
subscribed they will seem small be
sides the taxes to come.
Uncle sam had rather sell securities
than put on new taxes.
He must do one or the other.
It's up to the publlic.
"FAIR AND SQUARE."
The individual quota system, recog
nized everywhere as the “Fair and
Square" plan, is to be used in a large
proportion of the Sixth Federal Re
serve district in the approaching Vic
tory Loan campaign.
Under this plan, a definite quota
based on properly and income is as
signed every resident of the county,
and he is asked to invest that sum
in the Victory Loan. It is intended in
this way to see tiiat every man bears
ids share of the load and knows his
neighbor down the road also is carry
ing his share, instead of penalizing the
inure patriotic who are willing to take
on an extra load to put their counties
over the top.

County, Georgia, a petition, of which a true and
correct copy is subjoined, will he presented to the
Hono able E. D. Graham, Judge of the Superior
Court of said county of Montgomery, at the court
house in Mount Vernon, Montgomery County,
Georgia, on Monday the sth day of May next, 1919.
Mrs. Carrie Peterson,
Guardian for Charlie Peterson, Johnnie
Peterson and Daisey Peterson.
I State of Georgia—Montgomery Caunty.
! To the Honorable E. D. Graham, Judge of the
| Superior Court of said county:
The petition of Mrs. Carrie M. Peterson respect
fully shows:
, 1. That she is the guardian of Charlie Peterson,
Johnnie Peterson and Daisey Peterson, minor chil
dren of C. H. Peterson, and all of whom are under
the age of 14 years.
2. That she desires to sell at private sale for
reinvestment the following property, the same
being a part of the personal estate of her said
wards, to-wit:
All of an undivided one half interest in and to
all of that tract or parcel of land situated, lying
and being in the 12215 t, District, G. M. of formerly
Montgomery but now Treutlen Georgia,
containing three hundred and fifty (350) acres,
more or less, bounded on the North by lands of the
estate of W. D. Martin, deceased; on the East by
lands belonging to Mrs. W. D. Martin; on the
South by the waters of the Oconee River and on
the West by lands belonging to the estate of W.
D. Martin, deceased; and being the same one-half
interest in said tract of land conveyed to peti
tioner's wards by John D. Durden by a warranty
deed dated the sth day of June. 1918, as shown by
the record of said deed in book No. 23, folio 547 of
the records of deeds of Montgomery County,
Georgia.
3. That said tract of land is all unimproved or
wild lands; that it is situated almost whol y in the
river swamp on the Oconee river and is mostly
swamp lands; that the timber has been cut and
removed therefrom and none of said land, or a
very small portion thereof, is suited for farming
purposes, and what is suitable for farming pur
poses would be very expensive to clear and put in
a state of cultivation; and that your petitioner
as such guardian is receiving no revenue whatever
from said land; but the same is expensive to
maintain on account of the taxes that petitioner
is forced to pay upon the same.
4. Petitioner desires to invest the proceeds
arising from the sale of said land in the erection
or rebui ding of a brick store house in the Town
of Soperton, Treutlen County, Georgia, located on
the corner of Second and Main Streets and known
as the C. H. Peterson corner, and being fifty (50)
feet front on said Main street and extending back
south 100 feet; which said business lot aforesa'd
belongs to the estate of C. H. Peterson who was
the father of petitioner's wards.
6. Petitioner is advised and believes that said
store house if erected as aforesaid would yield in
rentals at least the sum of Seventy-Five ($75.00)
Dollars per month.
6. That petitioner is advised by the administra
tors of the estate of C. H. Peterson that it is not
necessary to sell said lot of land in the Town of
Soperton above mentioned, but that if the same
can be rebuilt and put in condition to bring to
said wards a substantial rental for their support,
education and maintenance, that the said adminis
trators are then ready and willing to deliver the
posse sion of the same to petitioner a * such guard,
ian of said wards aforesaid.
7. Petitioner shows further that notice of her
intention to make this application has been pub
lished once a week for four weeks in The Mont
gomery Monitor (that being the county of peti
tioner's appointment) and also once a week for
four weeks in The Soperton Sentinel (that being
the county where said land lies), both of said
newspapers being the ones in which county ad
vertisements are published for said respective
counties, as required hy law.
