Macon Fair was especially enjoyed
by all.
' By. request of- the president, Mr.
C. R. Beale gave the meeting' the
result of some investigations he
had been making as to the com
parative seeding and feeding values
of tlie whole peanut and of the
peanut meal with the evidence
very much to the effect that it
would pay splendidly to harvest
peanuts and have the oil extracted
and feed toe meal lo the hogs. In
this connection quite a number of
talks were made on the necessity
for a peanut oil mill in Cairo.
Mr. Roddenbcry called the at
tention of those present to the nec-
esity of keeping up vigorously the
work of tick eradication. This he
said should not have a place second
to any work of the Association un
lit the tick is cleared from the
county which should be done next
year. He also spoke briefly on
the cattle industry and read a few
extracts giving the experience of a
grower of .shorthorn cattle who

About the most talked of thing
in Grud'y county for the next little
while is going to be a peanut oil
mill. Our farmers arc beginning
to plant their crops for next season
and they arc trying to decide the
bcSt'erops to grow t o take the place
of the cotton that they are going
to curtail. They want to grow
somothing that they can feel the
assurance they can find a ready
market for. Peanuts is one of the
irops that offers promise of being
quite a profitable crop to grow in
the cotton section wherever there
b an oil mill convenient so that
they can be readily harvested and
where a supply of the meal caff

Announcement was made that
Mr. John H. Mock, Secretary of
the Board of Trade of Albany, Gs.
would be present at the January
meeting of tlie Association and
make an address. Mr. Mock is
widely known ns a most instruc
tive and entertaining speaker and
no doubt thcre will be a large au
dience to hear him at that time. •
A most efficient county farm
demonstrator is Mr. P. IR Ward
of Grady County. Mr. Ward’s
pig clubs have tnken more prizes
than those rrom any other section
of Georgia. These clubs carried
away nearly all the prizes at the
state Fair, Valdosta Fair and other
places -where exhibits were con
tested and prizes awarded. To say
that Mr. Ward has "made good”
in his section is expressing facts
mildly and surely Grady county is
glad to have his assistance and the
state will be enriched by the multi
plication of such work ns he has
accomplished.—Tliomasville Press.
Wo are glad to print this clipp
ing from our Thomas County
neighbor as showing how our effi
cient agent is regarded by others.
or not Cairo is going to build
mill so that they can be certain of
a market for the peanuts they grow
nexf season. If the mnttcr is taken
up soon and steps taken that will
assure the' building of the mill
time for the using of next seasons
crop we are confident that there
will bo a sufficient umount of pea
nuts grown to supply it.
Of course in connection with pea
nuts might be handled cotton seed,
velvet beans, corn and various
other products, the details of which
could all bo worked out later.
If Cairo wishes to hold her place
as one of the leading markets for
the farmers they will have to take
this matter up and provide this
mill. Of course if we are willing
that our neighboring towns take
from us whatever of prestige we
have as a market we can just sit
still and. let this matter go by de
fault. Our farmers possibly may
be able to grow these products and
take them to tlie neighboring
towns to market.. But Cairo must
build this mill or we arc bound 'to
lose our stride.
We arc not especially interested
as to whether this mill is built by
one or two individuals or whether
it is built as a community enter
prise by tho sale of stock to every
citizen. We do want to see it
built and we believe that the Cairo
spirit is going to show itself and
that in a very short time that we
will be able -to announce the fact
that Cairo is to have this enter
prise.
