The breeders need to realize Grst of all that the most searching scientific investigation has failed to find any real cure for this disease, once the hog gets thoroughly infected with cholera ‘headquarters for hogs in the of them nre treated with cholera South", without having to wait for germs.

The Federal and State Department practice and recommend this, but the breeders are too loth to spend a little mouey for this protection and so often wait until the hogs are actually dying before they do anything and then what they do is unsatisfactory, because so many of the infected hogs die after treat ment. When the Moultrie Packing Co., was organized, the promoters real ized that the success of their enter prise, would depend largely upon the control of this . disease. Not connected with the packing plant, butconfident with it, Dr. H. H. Rothe, recognized throughout the state as a very immenent Bacter iologist, having organized and oper ated the first plant for the manu facture of hog cholera serum in the South, in connection with the State College of Agriculture at Athens, and having taught in that Institu tion for four years, was induced to come to Moultrie and having asso ciated Mr. J. B. Carlton with him self, they established the Georgia Serum Laboratory at Moultrie Ga. They offered their first product to the public on March 1st. 1916, since which time they have en larged their plnnt and increased their output until now they can supply practically all demands. Parties who have used this product p:onounce it first-class in every respect and the public will be glad to know that fresh serum can be secured on short notice, from located at Moultrie, Ga., for the C hason Vat—dipping about 250 manufacture of hog cholera 'icrum, head. gave out some very interesting in- Woodland Vat-Dipping about formation regarding I he manner of 250 |, ea( j producing this serum.

If these forces succeed in building faster than the disease effects tear- down, the patient recovers, if not he dies. The effect of serum is to help the upbuilding forces. How to get this serum? “A seemingly perfectly sound pig is taken, dieted tested and treated for a certain number of days to as certain without a doubt, that he is a good subject, well and hearty, Then he is given a dose of cholera germs. At the same time he given a treatment to nssist his natural ability to overcome the cholera effection. This is called the “double” or “simultaneous” treatment. If hq„ gets well his system is charged time and again with this overcoming treatmens until he is so full of it, that it it impossible to give him cholera. Then at certain intervals his blood is drawn, (from the end of his tail) untjl he has given up all his life’s blood This is taken into the laboratory and manufactured into serum. This serum must yet be tested to see if it is effective. A litter of pigs is secured and„ part of them treated with this serum.

Grady County and Her Farmers This scribe made a trip a few days ago through six south Geor gia counties, H alving a < loso obser vance of the crops along the high ways we traveled. We are not saying it in a boast ful spirit, but, \vc> are proud to make the statement that Giady has them all “skint” on farming. VVe have only caught a faint vis ion of the possibilities of Grady aF an agricultural county. With the rapid rise in price of all farm pro ducts, is there q field that offers S'ester opportunity to the younp •nun of ambition than the field agriculture? We know by observation that there is not, a section in all the grand old Southland of ours, more blessed b y nature than Gradj county. The home of the juicy sugar cane, the velvet bean, tin peanut, and the pure bred hog. While Grady’s fanners are mnkinp progress in i griculture there arc many things that need to be done to develop her resources agricultur ally. One of the great hindorance; as wo see it, is the pine stump, which is nothing more than a loafer in your field—they produce noth ing but occupy a space that would grow crops, if they were removed. On the average pine lands in south Georgia the stump takes up one-fourth to one-sixth of our culti vation. On some of our fields we have made a calculation which showed one-fourth of the land was occupied by the stump, growing grass and weeds around them, furnishing a harboring place for field rets and insects to hibernate in through winter. The most essential thing in crop production is a deep broken, well prepared seed bed. It is impos sible to make this preparation where stumps and trees are stand ing in the field. Organic matter plowed in the soil, a systematic crop rotation with a well prepared deep broken seed bed will reveal to us the most wonderfully productive soil in nil the sunny south. We cannot impress this fact up on our farmers too forcibly. Vege table matter turned in the soil, winter cover crops to supply winter grazing for live stock and prevent erosion of the soil with a systematic crop rotation will build a perma nent soil fertility and keep Grady in the lend as a farming county. —P.H.W.
