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.

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 Tho South Georgia Conference which convened in Thomasville last Wednesday closed a most suc cessful session lost Monday night.

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.
