MB. ODUM WRITES
about jerseys.
HE REPLIES TO ARTICLE CON
demning JERSEYS AS AN
all ROUND CATTLE FOR
THE FARMERS.
V,nder the title “Georgia Cattle a
Neglected Source of Fortune,” there
was reprinted in the “Constitution”
f August 14th a copy of a leter writ¬
ten by Mr. Wl H White, Jr., to
proffessor J. E. Hite, relative to
the production of beef cattle in Geor¬
gia. This letter seems open to mis¬
understanding; while advocating th#
fanners’ good it may be interpreted
t0 restrict his prosperity. Mr.
White’s two points are: First, Geor¬
gia produces only a meagre portion
of the beef cattle consumed itn this
State and thus neglects a large .source
of fortune; and second, beef cattle,
to the exclusion of all others, shoud
he produced by the farmer. The
jersey and “scrub” alike should be
eliminated. In this letter he does
not disccriminate between the large
and small farmer, or the landowner
of mnusual advantage and the one
with only moderate means.
The first point meeds only empha¬
sis. It is without doubt food for the
farmer’s thought that Georgia pro¬
duces so small a part and so poor a
quality of her beef cattle. The grow¬
ing of high grade beef cattle and in
large numbers can not be advocated
too strongly. Nor is there any doubt
that the “scrub,” which is neither
beef nor dairy type, should be elimi¬
nated. But in advocating the entire
elimination of the best milk and but¬
ter producers, Mr. White expresses
the viewpoint only of the dealer and
the larger markets after the results
have been gathered and shipped to
him; he sees, too, the aggregate
wealth and improvement of the lands.
He does not observe that the farmer
has been stripped of his beef and also
his milk and butter supply nor that
equal or better aggregate results for
the host of farmers might be just as
well reached through the breeding of
his own selected cattle. For the far¬
mer who has ample acres and graz¬
ing, with feed products, the man, who
can make a specialty of beef cattle,
there is a large field of profit and a
big service besides. For the mass of
farmers, however, it is entirely dif¬
ferent. It is a fact wellknown that
the farmer in most cases can not,
have fresh beef for his table, owing
to the lack of facilities for keeping
it in the country. To take away also
the rich butter and milk supply by
irtroducing sorry producers would be
very unfortunate. Farmer-folks who
"do things" must have rich, strong
food. Every good farmer knows what
a good supply of milk and butter is
compared with a poor supply and what
it means to the growing minds and
bodies of his children, and the health
of his family. Even though *he Jer¬
sey is a luxury, doesn’t the farmer
deserve a luxury that combines pleas¬
ure with profit and a distinctive
farm quality. Again, the farmer Who
can own but a few head of cattle
will be able to sell the small surplus,
head for head of Jerseys 'for a con¬
siderable larger amount than beef
cattle; besides they are yield ing him
continually through the sale of sur¬
plus butter a neat little income.
The Jersey cow will often produce
an annual profit besides her offspring
and manure, of $75 and upwards; in
good environment and markets she
"ill double this amonut. In owning
good Jerseys the farmer can well
aflord to be “a rich man;” his
dairy will be one of the signs of
bis progressive prosperity.
It may be said with equal regret
that the Georgia cattle do not pro¬
duce the needed supply of milk and
butter; much of it is imported. Peo
hh‘ from other states wonder why
Georgia neglects so good an oppor
tunity tor dairying and why she per
uiits her lands to waiste at the same
tuiif. There is ample room and equal
d* ntand for both the beef and dairy
l0 ". to neglect either is to neglect
a
source of fortune.
The statement is made that the
‘ r niing and stock-raising interest of
"unessee are discarding the Jersey
oi beef cattle, it is true that this
‘ lat, ‘ *‘ s Producing larger amounts of
J '' f cattle and sheep and that they
are col ning to be known as the high
grade. At the same time Ten¬
nessee is growing many more Jer
tllan ever. The new importa
*on a of fresh blood into the State
m d the large number of small breed¬
ers show an increase. iA recent sale
01 ^ r ' W. Gettys of Athens, Tennes
j.,t' -no.OO nettin for S an the average per head of
‘l seventy-seven (77)
h sold shows something of the
Jersey "decrease.”
furthermore, Tennessee’s land,
^ t °rgia, ing and climate are different from
especially superior in refer
^ t0 beef production.
However,
« mass of farmers do not
now own
§ grade Jerseys or beef cattle,
suggestion then is to empha
the importance of live stock of
h , , 8rade cattle and
c r h, iuds. ~ hoes and otJl ‘

Prosperity; th,e qsmm
WARMING UP IN
EIGHTH DISTRICT.
BOTH HOWARD AND TRIBBLE
TRYING TO CONVINCE THE
VOTERS THAT THEIR SIDE
IS THE RIGHT ONE
There is a posibility that in the
now famous Eight congressional dis
trict of Georgia there may be a se
coikI primary election—the partici
pants to be the white regular dem
ocratic voters of the district—to de
cide who is the choice of the party
as the nominee for the sixty-second
congress, say the others.
Congressman Howard today at El
berton accepted formally, the chal¬
lenge of Mr. Tribble, his opponent, to
enter into a second primary on cer¬
tain conditions.
Under the head of “Another Pri¬
mary Proposition,” Mr. Tribble has a
signed article- in a piece of literature
generally circulated over the district
jus follows:
“In my speech I defied the negro
vote. Mr. Howard touched carefully
on disfranchisement. This is not his
previously expressed views in Elber
ton speech four years ago, and in
other speeches. Now in the presence
of all the people 1 throw down, the
gauntlet. If Mr. Howard is sincere
in favoring disfranchisement, then
let us hold another primary at once,
before the general election, and ex¬
clude the negro, thus solving this
question by allowing a white primary
to settle it by a majority vote. Ma¬
jority vote is soon to control in gener
al election with negro in, then what
earthly objection can any man urge
to another primary."
To this published challenge, Mr.
Howard issued in Elberton today the
following:
Elberton, Ga., Oct. 7, 1910.
Mr. S. J. Tribble, Athens, Ga.
Dear Sir:—I accept your published
challenge to enter with you a white
democratic primary election to select
a nominee for the Sixty-second con¬
gress for the Eight district at such
time as the chairman of the state
democratic executive committee shall
appoint, provided you will agree that
those electors who voted In the state
election of October 5th last against
the demcratic nominee for governor
shall not be allowed to have their
votes received and counted and that
the rules for their exclusion shall be
made by the chairman of the state
democratic executive committee. I
do not intend by this acceptance to
waive the nomination I now have in
the event you for any reason decline
to accept this proposal. A prompt
answer is requested. Respectfully.
Win. M. Howard.
And now they do say that there
are some people in the western part
of the county who want Rockdale
county to annex them in order that
they can get the roads they believe
they are entitled to. Why not let’s
all get together and FORCE Nea
ton county to build the roads that
are necessary to us all. That would
would be more to the point.
Notice, Odd Fellows.
Regular meetings held every second
and fourth Thursday night of each
month. All members in good stand¬
ing cordially invited to meet with us.

little restricting to ask the farmer
to taboo the cow that has long since
proved to be the “farmer’s friend
and pride”—or to ask him to vote
for no one who would not advocate
the public ownership of beef bulls
to the exclusion of all others.
Finally let us apply Mr. White’s
own words to the growing of all live
stock. No better words could be suit¬
ed to the advocacy of the Jersey’s
cause. He writes:
As soon as the people could see
the best results and the improvement
of their cattle, the innhensely in¬
creased value of this improved breed¬
ing, we would see feeding about the
barns of every farmer in the State
cattle of the right kind; recogniz¬
ing the increased wealth gotten di¬
rectly from the sale of .such cattle,
the increased value of their lands ac¬
cruing from the feeding and grazing
of the cattle thereon, this would bring
about a condition that would mean
permanent benefits that will never be
obtained until something of this char¬
acter is accomplished.
“Furthermore, our livestock is so
common that our people can’t point
to this industry with any pride what¬
ever. Possibly you will agree with
me in my oft-repeated statement
that the raising of stock is a sim¬
ple science, and nothing could be
more fascinating to any farmer or
dealer, after once getting started
with the right kind of stock. Each
fellow does his best in trying to
outdo his neighbor in good results.”
