Thomasville, a Jersey Cat tle Center. Now that the boll weevil has practically covered the entire state of Georgia and the price of cotton is so unsatisfactory, mixed farming with livestock as a major part of the necessary change to meet new conditions is in the mind of every farmer in Georgia. The dairy cow with her wonderful food produc ing capacity and profit making ability is coming in for a good share of consideration. A dozen communities are considering build ing creameries and cheese factor ies. The cheese factories and creameries now in operation are receiving from 100 to 1000 per cent more milk and cream than ever before in their history. With this increased interest in dairy farming, many communities want to know where they can buy de sirable breeding, stock at satisfac tory prices. Fortunately or unfortunately, Thomas county was very early in fested witQ boll weevils. A few herds of superior Jerseys were established in the vicinity of Thom asville. These herds have been conspicious in Register of Merit tests, show rings and sale of the entire United States. The owners of these herds have received money making prices for their sur plus breeding stock from the be ginning and today Thomasville is very conspicuous on the Jersey map of the United States. This will be a red letter day in Thomasville history and many cotton farmers will sign a new Declaration of Independence as a result of attending the big Jersey Cattle Convention to be held on the farm of the Thomasville Live stock Company at this time. Mov ing pictures showing the most noted cattle of the breed have been arranged for. An instructive speaking program has been pro vided. Albert Holman will furnish free all of the ice cold watermel ons and red hot barbecue that the multitude can consume. In the afternoon, the Thomasville Live stock Company will hold an auc tion sale of 40 splendid Jersey cattle. Every farmer and business man interested in improving the financial condition of his commun ity should attend this meeting. “Let’s go.” To Build Ideal Section.
