THE GRADY COUNTY PROGRESS, CAIRO, GEORGIA.
Addressed Meeting Of
Farmers Here Friday
Mr. John R. Greer, of Moul-
I trie, was here last Friday and ad
dressed a meeting of the Farmers
Union at the court house. Mr.
Greer was here in the interest of
the new packing house that is
sjon to be put in operation in
Moultrie, and made an interest
ing talk. In talking to a repre-
sentive of the Progress Mr. Greer
said, “that the Moultrie packing
house would begin operations
about September 1st, and buy
stock every working day during
the year. The packing house
will have a normal capacity of
30,000 hogs and as many cows,
sheep, and goats as are offered,
annually and if move than is of
fered; the capacity of the plant
can be quickly enlarged, so that
nobody need fear that the plant
rill be overrun with stock.
I “The price to be paid for stock
Jjjjll be governed by the Chicago
* |arket, which is therullingmar-
( !et of the country for stock. In
r'View of the fact that the United
States was short during the last
year about eighteen million meat
animals, there is not much dan
ger that the price will decline.
The price for hogs last year in
Chicago went as high as 9.70.
The Moultrie price will be about
one cent less. The normal price
for hogs during the last year was
about eight and a half cents a
pound.
“The cost of raising hogs in
South Georgia is about three
cents a pound. That means that
a two hundred pound hog would
cost the farmer to raise him six
dollars. That hog would normal
ly bring him at Moultrie $17, giv
ing the farmer a profit of Sll on
a two hundred pound hog.
“The packing house will want
hogs weighing from 190 pounds
and up. They will have to be fat
and hogs raised on peanuts will
have to be fed on corn from twen
ty to thirty days before going to
’the packing house. That is nec
essary to harden their fat.
“Farmers who want to raise
hogs for this packing house
should cut up their farms into
five ten and fifteen acre' tracts
keeping planting these tracts
every month in the year in some
kind of hog feeds. Winter graz
ing should be planted in the fall
and spring and summer grazing
planted in early spring. Rape,
and rye, barley, oats, turnips, al
falfa, vetch, clover and such
crops will keep the hogs fat un-
Mr.
driv-
til the peanuts, sweet potatoes
and sorgham come in, and the
fine thing about, hog raising in
this country is that they gather
all the feed for themselves.
“Of course, the cholera is go
ing to kill some, but when the
farmers begin to take better care
of their hogs, feed them more
and keep the stray hogs and dogs
away from them, the cholera and
other diseases will disappear.
When the 'open range is done
away with, the greatest enemy
of cholera and other hogs dis
eases will go.
“The history of the packing
house is that wherever it has
been established, the farmers
have paid out debt in five years
and become the lending rather
than the borrowing classes.
Eighty five percent, of the farms
in Georgia are mortgaged and
thousands of them never will be
paid off with cotton alone. The
minute the farmers begin to raise
stock, they will begin to pay off
these mortgages and if they will
take the opportunity offered them
by this packing house, in five
years the mortgages throughout
this section will rapidly disapear.
“And tfiis packing house at
Moultrie will do Grady county
just as much good as it will Col
quitt, because it will require all
the stock in the ten or fifteen
counties in this section to keep it
running. There will be local
buyers at every point like Cairo
and these will ship to Moultrie as
fast as they get a carload, so that
the freight from Cairo to Moul
trie will be a very small consid
eration.
When the public begins to rea
lize that this packing house will
buy stock every day in the year
