Too much cannot be said in stressing the fact that every factor conducive to their hetslth and development should be provided. As a first consideration, all pul lots and cockerels fit for breeding, should be separated, and each “mon astery” and "convent” should be suf ficiently large to perfit of good range J end an abundance of green food. | Shade is also a very important faet j or and Is very neeessry to their com fort nd contentment. It is of prime Importance to keep growing stock free from parasites, for these troublesome creatures impair the development urn. health of low's, far more than some people realize. Spray the roosting quarters through ly every two weeks, with some stan dard disinfectant, ami the mites will will find that their “ptekins" are not so easy. Examine the birds occasion ally for lice, and if any are found dust the whole flock throughly with a powder made of the following. Crude carbolic acid, 1 pint, gasoline. 3 pints, mixed with sufficient plaster of Paris to absorb all liquid, leaving the mixture lightly moist. \Sift through a fly screen, ant. apply from a can with perforated top. working well into the feathers, especially un- Thursday, October 19, 1922. der the wings and around the vent. Be sure that the young stock have all the feed they want .especially mash. It is a good idea to keep a flowing ma?h before them at all times and feed all the scratch grain they wli! clean up, nigh,t and morning. Growing birds require a lot of feed, 1 for they have to maintain their body 1 weight as well as use feed for growth. If it' has not already been done, 1 pullets and! cockerels intended for 1 show purposes in the fall and winter 1 fairs and poultry shows, should be selected at once, and peparated-rfrom the others, and be given special care and attention. These "birds should be provided with an abundance of succu lent feed, but white birds should not be fed green nor yellow corn. They should' receive white corn, and succu lent feed in the form of white cab bage, potatoes, turnips, etc. This tends t<S keep down creaminess and brassiness in white birds which are considered serious defect? in the show room. R. I. Reds, dnd birds with colored plumage should be fed an abundance of yellow corn, green food, and an oc casional piece of raw meat, with some rat, This increases the luster of the plumage, as well as intensifies the color pigmentation. Birds for show room should be handled and trained to pose, at least 5 to 10 minutes to each bird, 3 to 4 times a day. Experienced exhibitors have found that this training has paid them, and theyconsider this training <>i prime importance. A bird that flutters, and is unruly when handled by the judge, usually gets little con sideration, and shows at a glance that his exhibitor lacks experience in the show room. Molting in old birds is also of im portance at this season. The molting hen should be well cared for, as she is depleted in bodily vigor, due to her long period of laying. The ration of molting hens should' contain an abundance of mineral matter. It is a good idea to keep oyster shell, grit and charcoal before them all during molting season. An occasional ad ditional of a small amount of sul phur is always a good idea, during molting, as feathers largely com posed of sulphur. An abundance of mineral matter will in a number of instances cut the molting period short, and the hen will be down to laying sooner, than if mineral matter is deficient.

Vote AGAINST “Peach County” , TT ARDLY three weeks from now, on November 7, you will be per* fi 8 mitted to say something upon a constitutional amendment creating Peach County. That will be in the general election; not in the Democratic state primary. Everybody votes. 'i ou are expected to read the same old monotonous lines for or against still another county among the multitude into which old Georgia already has been partitioned and subdivided; and having read them, you are expected to vote For and go on about your own affairs. Eut this is CNE time you will have your eyes open. You’ve had enough. So has everybody else. The whole state is tired of new counties. We have multiplied courthouses and officials and taxes when every other trend is exactiv opposite. While business consolidates small units into big ones, to cut down overhead and increase efficiency, we have allowed pol itics to cut big units into little ones and pile up overhead at the sacrifice of efficiency. Il is perfectly pfain to anybody that two sets of county officials cannot divide be tween them the work formerly done by one and do it just as well at half the cost. They do it, of course, but at TWICE the cost. • Let’s glance at some dry-as-dust, but per tinent facts. There are, in the whole United States, 3.017 counties. Os these, Texas has 258, Georgia 160. Texas is nearly five times as big as Georgia. Os al’ the i-.*ntes in the Union. Texas is THE ONLY OISE with as many counties as Georgia. The average size of counties throughout the land is 930 square miles. The average size of a Georgia county is only 367 square miles. Only three states have counties as small as Georgia Thev are Kentucky, New Jer *ey and Rhode Island. y7 OU HAVE a right to know these facts: and we, whose o* happens to be gored at | A the present moment, are taking the liberty of putting them before you even though we mey be desecrating the ground upon which none but the lobbyist has dared to * tread before. \Ac are Georgians with you. We ignore the local aspects of our fight. We see its brooder relation to you, to your interests—to Georgia’s welfare. FOR YOU MAY BE MARKED NEXT FOR THE SLAUGHTER. The New County Looby, which used to be the Whisky Lobby, right now has ready to be sprung on the next legisiatuie if Peach County gets by—hills to create THREE MORE NEW COUNTIES in Georgia.

The presumption used to be, when the leg *• islature submitted a constitutional amend ment for ratification, that you would go on an d ratify without asking questions. That presumption is antiquated from this moment. fCnowing the unworthy motives behind the origin of this movement, and the unworthy methods of its progress to the present poiftt, we challenge this attempt to create another new county as the work of cne of the most pernicious lobbies that ever infested the halls of our legislature. In the general election of 1920, when con stitutional amendments creating FIVE new counties were submitted for ratification, 138,- 000 votes were cast for the candidates pnd 77,000 yf that number were expressed one way or the other on the matter of the five new counties. Sixty-one thousand voters who were at the polls and had the ballots in their hands said neither yea nor nay about the five new counties. t Had these 61,000 voted NAY. instead of signifying their disapproval by silence, NOT A f INGLE NEW COUNTY WOULD HAVE GOT BY.
