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. ’ r get comfort Call at tho Grady Pharmacy Monday Jan. 15th. mid got a well fitted; pair of glasses.

Mr. H. R. Rushin 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. ed in this part of the state.
