troubles was begun by the
THE COVINGTON NEWS, COVINGTON, umimoui
giant corporation.
“We have been unable to perceive in
tho primary aims of the league any¬
thing that should have provoked the
power company to such strenuous
course of opposition as it has pursued,
unless there was observed by the com¬
pany an element of fairness in those
aims of the league that would not har¬
monize with a gluttonous desire to
bleed the public through a monopoly
of hydro-electric power in the State.
We can not perceive in the primary
aims of the league anything that would
have militated against the power com¬
pany’s business, if operated on a fair
basis.
“The league primarily seeks to give
(his commonwealth the same sovereign
rights that are possessed by other com¬
monwealths—the right to develop and
operate water powers, if the people so
desire.
“But the power company has choseri
tho course of opposition, so it must
bear the consequences. When the
president of the company, Preston S.
Arkwright, conceived the idea of com¬
ing to Rome, where, only a few days
before, 35 sensible business men had
enrolled as members of the municipal
league, and here delivering an address
that is construed to be the epitome of
the company’s policy, he precipitated
a deluge of resentment as powerful as
that of water which.would occur should
the dam of a gigantic power plant be
broken. He has brushed aside the dam
that was holding public sentiment in
a great lake and has made his company
the first object for the onslaught of the
torrent. <
“We have already pointed out the ab¬
surdity of Mr. Arkwright’s charge that
the municipal league is Socialistic. But
it remained for The Atlanta Georgian
to lay bare the deceptive statements in
Mr. Arkwright’s address dealing with
the finances of the company. This the
Atlanta paper did with a precision that
might have been termed cruel, were it
not so logical and so well fortified with
plain facts. In the light of The Geor¬
gian's revelations, the power compa
ny'sclaims for sympathy of the people
withered.
“We had no fight to make on the
power company, save as our fight for
cheaper electric power and more rapid
d< velopment of Georgia’s enormous
water power resources might strike the
power company’s vitals without delib¬
erate intent. \Ve were fighting for the
league, not against the power company.
But if. perforce, to fight for the muni¬
cipal league’s policies means to fight
against the Georgia Railway and
Power Company’s policies, as Mr. Ark¬
wright has assumed, there is nothing
to do save stand to our guns and let
the shells fall where they may.’’
The Georgian earnestly and sincere¬
ly commends the foregoing excerpt
from the columns of the Rome News
to the consideration of the people of
this state.
LET THEM GET WELL IN MIND
WHAT THE MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
OF GEORGIA REALLY IS DRIVING
AT; tho great thing it is seeking to
bring to pass—which is the far-reach¬
ing RIGHT AND PRIVILEGE of the
people of Georgia to own, operate and
direct for their benefit and protection
their own water powers and utilities,
if they deem that necessary.
Referring to the Municipal League
membership as a “hand of Socialists”
and all that sort of stuff really is ir¬
relevant and immaterial. It is offensive
of course, and irritating, hut inasmuch
ns it is uttered merely to beg the ques¬
tion and “muddy the waters,” it should
not seriously disturb the equibibrium
of any citizen.
The great principle sought hy the
league is fqr and away over and above
(hat sort of childish and petty chatter.
The Municipal League of Georgia is
- a gaged in a highly CONSTRUCTIVE
ampaign and there is no doubt what
ver in the mind of this newspaper
that eventually it will be carried to a
mighty and magnificent success.

WHY WE SHOULD RAISE PLENTY OF FEED IN 1922.
V •
Georgia imported 40,526,365 dozen of eggs in 1920. At an average cost of 30 cents, this
amounts to $12,157,909 that should have gone to the Georgia Farmers.
Georgia imported over 8,000,000 worth of chickens in 1920. Newton county bought 2,000,000
pounds of pork and pork products in 1920. At this rate it would take 10,000 hogs*a year to supply
Newton County. We have only a little over 6,000 head of pigs now, sows and shoats. Georgia has
1,000,000 head of hogs less than she had a year ago
The following facts are true of all of our farmers:
1-3 of all of our farms, no cow. 1-2 no sweet potatoes.
1- 6 of all of our farms no hogs. 3-4 no Irish potatoes.
2- 3 grow no wheat. • 1-6 have no gardens.
1-2 grow no forage crop for hay.
It is too astonishing to believe, but they are facts.
Remember it. NO PEOPLE can thrive if those on the land do not feed themselves.
The idea of a Southern woman cooking corn raised in Michigan; peas raised in Maine; Irish
potatoes raised in Maine, potted beef raised in Iowa; using butter, eggs and chickens raised in
Tennessee.
Hogs, chickens, eggs, cows are not hard to get, and garden seed are cheap and everyone should
start now to raise plenty of meat, chickens, have at least one cow and a good garden.
He sure to buy a good pig now—they are cheap.
HOW TO PRODUCE PORK FOR 5 CENTS PER POUND.
Start now to raise feed for your hogs by planning to have something they can pasture every
month. Following crops will provide a cheap pasture: Cattail Millet and Early Sorghum furnish
grazing in June, July and August.
Early corn, peas and peanuts will furnish grazing in August and September, Cow peas will
turnish grazing for September.
Corn and Soy Beans will furnish grazing in October. Corn and Velvet Beans should be plant¬
ed and gathered and fed. On account of our land we can't pasture it in late fall months, therefore
gather beans and corn and feed them. Alfalfa and a good permanent pasture will afford lots of
grazing in the fall. Plant rye, oats and rape for grazing in March, April and May. Corn and 60
per cent tankage feed to a good hog will give you $1.00 for your corn at home when meat is selling
for $6.00 per hundred on foot. Tankage figured at $70.00 per ton. Corn and tankage will produce
the cheapest and fastest gain of all feed.

Hogs and Poisoning of Boll Weevil.
