Cord's benevolence may receive
proper recognition.
A total of $21,000—$6,000 on the
building and $15,000 on the
* grounds—has been contributed to
ward the Salem Camp Ground
project by Mr. McCord over a
period of the past six years.
Salem Camp Ground, founded
in 1828, has had a long and glo
rious history. Except for the four
year period of the War Between
the States, did Salem has been;
used every one of the interven
ing 112 years as a camp meeting
site. Other camp grounds were
founded in Georgia before 1828,
but none of these is in use today.

Cattle Show
(Continued from Page One)
in the seven different grades of
meat and livestock.
The number of participants this
y ear was gratifyingly large, hav
in S tripled in size since the shows
were first started - 226 4-H Club
and FFA b °y s and girIs from 26
counties in this section of the
State entered 400 animals in this
show. In the opinion of County
Agent McMullin this is the best
exhibit of fat cattle ever held in
this area.
This year for the first time one
person won both the grand chatg
pion and the reserve champion
ribbons. Jimmy Johnson, member
of the Jefferson. Ga., chapter
the Future Farmers of America,
was the lucky boy. And lucky
is, because prize beef, brings
prices. In past years as much as 55
cents per pound has been paid for
the grand champion steer when
it went on the block at the sale.
Cattlemen were pleased over the
fact that both of Johnson’s steers
were Georgia-bred. There
fewer Western brands at the show
this year than ever before; each
year there are more native-bred
stock shown than the previous
year.
Mr. McMullin made the follow
ing comment: “It strikes us that
these spring shows give a splendid
opportunity to Newton County
farmers to supplement their farm
income. Every farmer who has the
feed should fatten one or more
steers and have them ready for
sale at this spring show and sale.
The manure produced will pay the
expenses of caring for the ani
mals. The profit can be used
advantage with the current year’s
farm expenses. Plant an extra
