v Above appears a summary by
Dr. Peter T. Balinsen of the meats
and meat food products shipped
into Georgia for the first eleven
months of 1910. They surely de-
mnnd the careful thoughtful con
sideration of every Georgian and
if we ha ve been at all inclined'to a
selfsatisfied attitude in regard to
the advance that we are making
toward the feeding of our own
folks we should change our mind
at once. 1
We are making Progress, no one
can deny that', but, with the drain
of fourteen to fifteen million doll
ars going out of the state for these
products that ought to be bring
ing a profit to the growers within
thAstate if stills leaves very much
to bo achieved in the way of prog
ress.
I)r. Bahnscn’s report which is a
very interest, one and well worth
the t ime of oneyoue to read it, n-
mong other thing's mentions the
great amount of our meat that its
8b spoiled by unfavorable weather
* conditions every year. , He sugg
ests that every town of 10,000
people or more should have a
mtmiciyal abatoir for the slaughter
and curing of meat products.
In this connection wo are led to
make the statement that in all
liklihood there |s enough loss from
spoiled meat each season in Grady
county to provide ample cold
storage facilities for all the hogs
that, arc cured in the county.
Grady county with her constantly
increasing supply of hogs is cer
tainly doing her part toward over
coming the lack of /sufficient pro
duction. We should do some
thing also towards preventing the
waste of bur products by spoiling
during the yvnyn spells. ’

Ships More Hogs
One Hundred and seventy seven
hogs made up the two cars of hogs
shipped to, the Armour Packing
House people in Jacksonville this
week by Mr. II. R. Rushin.
We note that some citizen of
ShoUinan have been disposed to
poke a little fun at the Albany
Herald for having written an edi
torial on the first car load of hogs
to be shipped from Dougherty
county. But after all it- is just a
matter of comparison. We could
just as easily poke fun at Shcllman
for boasting of their sixteen cars
this season. We did think of try
ing to keep tab on the car lonely
from this county but they havo
been coming so fast that we have
lost the count..
And the best thing in regards to
the-matter in Grady County is that
if the sale of salt is any criterion
the number that is bcin slaughtered
on the farms is also on the increase.
