Equipment Committee. Be Sure to Come! 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.
