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 section of the state. 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 Os Victory Loan Campaign Everybody hates a quitter! Uncle Sam is going to finish every thing he has started. lie finished one job in France when be helped to drive the Huns back across the Rhine. Uncle Sam and the Allies are finish ing another now, at the peace table 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. Every' man In the country Is to be asked toon to do his share in flnUh lug this job and wiping the alate clean THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, ABRIL 24, 1019 LOCAL S. 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. Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Cochran and little daughter, Sarah, of Flint, Ga., are visiting the family of Mr. C. A. Mason. Miss Porter and Mr. Laurence Thompson spent Sunday and Monday in Douglas. Col. M. B. Calhoun went over to Hazlehurst on legal business yesterday. Mrs. Thad Huckabee and little son of Sylvester visited relatives h ire the latter part of last week. Dr. E. M. Rackley is in Atlan ta for treatment, and recent ad vices give his condition as very threatening. Mr. T. M. Smith of San Diego, Cal., is spending a few days with the family of Mr. W. C. Mcßae. During the past few weeks he has been visiting relatives in Toombs county. 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. A Negro Boy's Success. Sherman Lynch, a negro boy of Edwards, Miss., joined the Farm Makers’ Club, a club especially designed for negro boys, in the fall of 1916. As a result of his work last year he was able to deposit #IOO in the Bank of Edwards, and with the money as an initial payment he has bought 30 acres of land from his father, bargaining for the i tract of S4OO.

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 Life Helping Wounded. For conspicuous gallantry in action. Private Frank B. Stock ton, (deceased) Co. E., 167 In fantry, is enrolled among Ameri ca’s immortals. After working all morning rescuing soldiers, Private Stockton, a stretcher bearer, learned that a man from another company was lving wounded in a shell hole.

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.
