NEWTON COUNTY FARMER
FINDS THAT IT PAYS TO
SHIP SOUR CREAM
Mr. Jim Morgan, of Gaithers district,
has been shipping sour cream to the
College of Agriculture Creamery, at
Athens, since tHe* 19th of October and
finds that it pays him. For the first ten
days’ shipment of sour cream he receiv¬
ed a check for $22.12. This is an income
of $2.21 per day with four cows. Each
cow paid him over 30 cents per day.
He was feeding at that time 1 gallon >f
corn meal, 4 gallons of hulls and allow¬
ing cow's to run on a velvet bean field.
AVe figured up all of his feed and ai
lowed rent for his pasture and still
hud a net profit of 35 cents pet coo¬
per day. At this rate one cow will have
an income of over $100 per year. The
manure front one cow is worth $10 pet
year and the skim milk fed to hogs,
which Mr. Morgan is doing, is worth
ten cents per gallon. The skim milk
and the manure will increase the in¬
come of a cow at least forty dollars.
Mr. Morgan has six cows now and is
planning to buy more. He is now feed¬
ing corn cob meal and grounds velvet
beans which is a good balanced ra¬
tion. Cows can be bought cheap now
and all those that have plenty of corn
and beans will make no mistake to buy
it few cows and start to shipping sour
cream.
Four or five cows are enough for the
average farmer to start on. This extra
number want interfere with the other
farm work and will supply a steady
cash income.
The market for sour cream is unlim¬
ited. Creameries at Athens and Atlan¬
ta are catting for more sour cream
every day.
Any farmer who has four or fl'e
and some feed can with an outla\
$30 or $40 buy a cream separator
milk cans start to shipping with.
Here is a market for farm products
all who can should produce pro¬
for it.
If interested in shipping sour cream
me at once.

HUNDREDS OF AUDITORS
NEEDED EOR INCOME TAX
Washington. D. C.. December ti—The
l nited States civil Service commission
stated today that the Income Tax unit
of the Bureau of Internal Revenue will
appoint several hundred additional
auditors and revenue agents or inspec¬
tors as soon as the commission can
supply the eligibies. for auditing work
in the central office at Washington and
inspection work throughout the coun¬
try. It is stated that the Bureau of In¬
ternal Revenue finds it necessary to
greatly augment its present force in
order to bring its inspection and audit¬
ing work up to date and keep it cur¬
rent. The bureau recognizes the im¬
portance to business interests of clear¬
ing away work in arrears.
The Civil Service commission has
announced an examination to be held
throughout the United States on De¬
cember 14 to fill these positions. The
entrance salaries offered range from
$1,800 to $3,000 a year. Advancement
will depnd upon the record of the em¬
ployee.
Full information and application
blanks may be obtained from the United
States Civil Service commission. Wash¬
ington, D. C., or from the Civil Service

Presbyterian Progressive Program
December promises to be a busy
month with the Presbyterians in this
community who are carrying out the
Presbyterian Progressive Program.
Tlie month has been set aside for
Christian education, ministerial relief
and a campaign for enlisting tithers.
By tithers is meant those who give one
tenth or more of their income to the
church. Last year over 13,000 members
were reported as tithers. The campaign
will be conducted by the Laymen’s
week of December 11-18. There are a
large number of these associations or¬
ganized, and where there is no organi¬
zation. the pastors have, been request¬
ed to make the presentation of the
cause.
Tiie Presbyterian church is stress¬
ing the need for Christian education.
and has urged the organization of a
committee in each church to secure at
least one member who will take a
pledge for life work for the church. In
this connection, there has been estab¬
lished a student's loan fund, which has
been most successful in aiding those
who are unable to secure a higher ed¬
ucation otherwise. The receipts for the
general funds for Christian education
and ministerial relief last year were
nearly $250,000.
Pastors will also be requested to
point out the duty of the church in
caring for aged ministers and needy
widows and orphans of deceased min¬
isters. Receipts for the endowment
fund for ministerial relief last year
amounted to nearly $700,000, in which
is included the gift of the Graham
building in Jacksonville, Florida. The
committee in charge of this work has
arranged to issue life annuity bonds
which furnish an attractive form of
in vestment.
