The trouble in Georgia, how evei —truth to say — is that out side influences play too important ii part in our legislatives affairs I here are too many legislators who want to use their positions as a stepping stone to something else —too many of them “playing poli tics,” building fences and sharpen ing their Kriver. They are try ing to st rve their ow n interests instead of the state or the counties that send them to the legislature.

Atlanta, Ga. —There is no greater ifactor in improvement of breed of #iogs and cattle on the farms of the country than the National Hog and Cattle Show held each year under the auspices of the Southern Swine Grow er’s Association and the Southern Cattlemen’s Association, and which ; is officially a part of the Southeastern Fair to be held October 6 to 13 this year. That this improvement has been wonderful is admitted by all well in formed people, and everybody knows that there can be no comparison be tween the scrub cows and the woods rooters of even ten years ago, and the beautiful and productive catttle and hogs of today. There will be thousandsof dollars in prizes for Herefords, Shorthorns, Aberdeen-Angus, Jerseys, Guernseys, Holstein-Friesians and Ayrshires; breeds which were practically un known to most of the farmers of the .last generation. Dairying and cheese making is going forward by leaps and bounds in Georgia and you will be sur prised to find out how many cheese factories are operating in the state. Thousands of dollars also will be awarded to owners of hogs; Duroc-j Jerseys, Hampshires, Poland-Chinas and Berkshires alone will draw more than $4,000 in prizes. There will be a fat cattle and a fat hog department of the show, and car-load exhibits of “feeders” and “grain fed” cattle. No man who sees the stock shown here can ever be satisfied with scrub stock in his barnyard, and no boy who sees it will ever own any scrub stock at all, and whether you arq a stock man or not you will be interested in seeing what the pure-bred stock in dustry has accomplished in our state and section within the last few years.
