STOCK ASSOCIATION

HOGS HERE
At the next regular meeting of the
Grady County Live Stock Associa
tion on the first, Saturday in De
cember there will be present a good
size delegation from the recently
organized Live Stock Association
of Lowndes county. They are
coming over to get some ideas and
experiences from the Grady County
Live Stock Association because
this association 1ms become recog
nized throughout Southwest Geor
gia as a real live organization. The
Grady county organization is near
ly two years old and so far as our
information goes there was not
another in this part of the state
until within the last few months.
Lately a number of our neighboring
counties have perfected those orga
nizations, and‘it, is one of the new
ones that is coming over from Val
dosta to be with the one of Grady
on that day.
So far as we have been informed
theie has been no arrangements on
the part of the local organization
to put on its company clothes, hut
as they look right well just in their
every day working clothes wo sup
pose that Lowndes will not Arid her
visit an uninteresting one.
A program has not yet been an
nounced for the'December meeting
of the association but this will pro
bably lie done jn timqjpr our next
issue.
l£ ; tbfo connection il) .-will not ,tte* z
out of place to Call attention on the
port of a great many of our farm
ers who have never joified'tbe live
stock association to the importance
of it to themselves and to the coun
ty. The dues are only a nominal
amount, fifty cents a year, and will
not strain any one to pay id. By
becoming a member however you
add to the ability of the organiza
tion to accomplish things and you
will surely add to your own store
of information, to say nothing of
the many opportunities that it will
lend you to make or to save money
in your buying or 'your selling.
Dont put off becoming a member.

Colton 201-4 Gents
And Syrup 40 Gents
Mr, C. R. . Beale representin'*
the White Provison Company!
bought another car of hogs at
Whigham this week. The follow
ing parties shipped hogs in. the;
carload;—J. B. Butler, M. G.j
Patterson, Parks Darsey, L. E.i
Brawner, J. I. Fordham, G. W Mill
er, C. B. Harrell, A. E. Weston
and John Frazer.
This’ia the fourth car of fat hogs
shipped from Whigham thu9 f$r
this season. Some of Grady
county’s most successful farmer?
live in that section of the county
and no doubt there will be a num- 1
ber of other cars shipped before
the close of the sasson.
IT
Any one doubting that Cairo is
a good market for Cotton and,
Syrup should have been on our
streets this week and seen Syrup
selling for forty cents per gallon
and cotton bringing more than
twenty cents per pound.
It is true that most of tho cotton
crop has already been sold and tho
benefit will Pot be had by the maj
ority of our farmers of the 20 cents
price, but syrup is only well under
way of coming in as yet and the
high price for this will mean much
■ to the growers.
TJj6 recent freeze has injured
the cane to quite an extent and
will make it necessary for the farm
ers to rush their grinding rapidly
through in order to avoid consider
able loss. The quality of syrup
being produced this year is sgid to
be unusualy good.
More Hogs From Grady
The following parties made, up a
car of hogs that was bought by Mr.
C. R. Beale this week and shipped
from this point to Atlanta; T. N.
Darsey, W. A. Peayey, Edgar
Rawl9, J. B. Aleredeth, Walter L.
Wight, J. G. Rehberg, J. E. Hall
and G. W. Beverly. -
Prices will probably be some
what cheaper for the next few
weeks as is customary at this sea
son of the year. They have been
very satisfactory thus far this, year
and the shipments from this coun
ty have been far in excess of what
they have ever been up to this
time of year before.

GRADY COUNTY
COLT CLUB GETTING
WIDE PUBLICITY
In' every iphaze the Georgia -Pro
ducts .Dinner, given Nov. 18th, by
the Librar^j Committee of the
Ladies;School Improvement Club
was a’pompletc success.
The most delicate appetite would
have been whette'd by the delicious
aroma that arose from the well
cooked Georgia Products. There
were baked chicken, juicy ham, ex
cellent-roast beef, and pork, . rice,
-pbtatqes, pickles and other good
things.too numerous to mention.
Tho clipping below is from the
Country Gentleman one of the
most widely circulated of all farm
publications.
While our county is a pioneer in
the colt club- other counties will
likely soon fall in line and the colt
club will become almost as common
as tho pig club.
Mr. Ward with his keen interest
in Grady county and her coming
citizens probably builded even bet*
ter than he know when he succeed
ed in the formation of the firfft
boys colt club,
A New Kind of Club
All kinds of clubs have been
started in tho South since its
awakening to tho importance of
progressive agriculture—corn clubs
canning clubs, pig oiubs, oven de
bating clubs—but Grudy County,
Georgia, has started something
new—a Boys’ Colt Club. Patrick
Ward, county agent of Grady
County, is the father of this move
ment, which bids fair to spread
over tho entire farming section.
The Grady Livestock Association
has offered prizes to boys who have
colts to exhibit, but before a boy is
allowed to exhibit his colt he must
have owned, fed and taken care of
it for at least five months. Next
year the period of ownership wi|l
be oxtended to one year for ail
boys who enter the competition for
the chief pi;ize, \yhicft will be a^SOO.
brood mare. .
Charles A. Whittle, of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture, says:
“The boys have a strong inclina
tion for mule colts, and about half
those enrolled have mules to exhib
it. Interest, however, is being
aroused in Perchcron draft animals.
One stallion of this breed lias been
pbtained in the southern part of
the county, and another will soon
be located in the ^northern part
• Such dinner makes . one- rejoice
in the-fact that he is a citizen Of
such a fine state as Georgia capable
of such deversifioation' and is a
compliment to the housewife of our
town and county.
The' committee under' whose
charge the dinner was given, wish
to thank the town people for theii
splendid liberality and cooperation
which meant so much toward the
success of the dinner. We' 1 also
wish to thank Wight & BrOwne foi
their contribution of ice cream, Mr.
Henry Jones for some, excelent
cane juice and Mr. Henry Rawls of
Calvary for the nice butter which
he contributed. Through the kind
ness of the manager of the Central
Hotel no dinner was served there
and consequently a large trade was
secured from the traveling men.
_ The total receipts from the, din
ner were 866.05 from which the
net proceeds will be devoted to
buying books for the library of the
Cairo High School, ,
of the county.”
Grady County is a leader in oth
er kinds of club work, Pure-breed
pigs have displaced _tho "pine
rooters;” well-selected^nd stand-
irdized corn is planted instead of
the old and nearly useless varieties
efficient and sanitary canning
methods have supplanted the old
inefficient and unsanitary ways.
A Better Peanut
Story From Grady
! t ‘ ; f-i i’>- l ~—“ ; -i S'di'iiUit
Elsewhere will bo found a refer
ence to the man at Headland,, Ala.,
who made nearly forty bushels of
peanuts per acre and 1 who hopes to
sell them at'81.00 per bushel. But
the Progress has been informed
that’ Mr. D. G. McNair one of our
well known oitizens had 12 aervx
planted' in peanuts this year of
what is known as tho oil variety
and from these he has harvested
600 bushels of peanuts for which
ha expects to receive 81.45 ppi< '
bushel. In addition 1 to the peanut
he secured a good crop of peanut
vino hay that of itself will go far
towards paying tho expenses ’of
growing and harvesting.
