REAP THE EDITORIALS
Do you read what is eaid about you and Toombs coun
ty every week on the Editorial Page of The Progress?
There Is more effort put forth to speak of YOU and
YOUR interests on the Editoral Page than any other page
of The Progress.
From the gleamings of this page you will gather the
Editor’s conception of our county and itsi interests. Too,
there is almost always clippings of interest to home lovers
clippings from other weekly papers and now and then a
column of fun for those who are “blue”.
The entire force takes price in trying to make the ed
itorial page worth while to The Progress subscribers and
we would be glad to know that this department, of the
paper is read by everyone—if you appreciate the articles
found there from time to time we of course feel flattered
but if you do not appreciate them we have respect for you
opinion—but in either case we would like to know if the
page is READ ONCE-IN-A-WHILE.

USE TOOMBS’ PRODUCTS
The plan of using “home grown products” instead of
those procuced elsewhere is now being discussed and in
some districts practiced with invaluable benefit to those
who do this.
If it were possible for Toombs county to produce all
tbe milk, butter, corn, potatoes, hay, foodstuffs of all
kinds for her live stock, syrup, four, rice, fruits, veget
ables, poultry, live stock and other things of this kind,
that she could consume and consign itt in attractive mar
ektable shape to the merchants right in Toombs, our coun
ty would then be "carrying on” on a solid foundation —
am. we can do this if we will begin right and give this
plan proper consideration.
Surely, no soil is adapted to growing a greater varety
of products than the soil of Georgia, and that being true,
no Bpot is better suited to raising live stock; and dairying
is fast becoming a Btrong factor in her bounds, all of
which can be said of Toombs; therefore with so many fac
ilities planned for us by nature, are we not ungratful and
un progressive if we do not take advantage of the situation?
Let’s try diversifying on a bigger scale next year and
insist on the advice and aid of our benefactors, the farm
demonstrator and the home economics promoter, in get
ting these products reacy for market. Then our merchants
can buy these at a saving to themselves and a profit to
tbe producers because of the elimination of freight, sales
man's commission and other unnecessary financial ap
pendages.
Let’s band ourselves together in a sort of a LOYALTY
UNION the purpose of which will be to consume as much
of Toombs products as possible right here in Toombs
instead of paying unnecessary profit for stuff produced
elsewhere.
Let’s keep our money AT HOME and by doing so have
more of it —let’s be loyal to HOME ENTERPRISES.

Common Poultry Diseases
SOREHEAD —Sorehead is a very
common disease in this State. While
it if, not very deadly if taken in time,
it causes some losses. This loss
should be eliminated. Any one who is
ccirstantly in touch with his flock can
check the spread of sorehead and at
the same time, cure those cases that
have made their appearance. It is
foolish to believe that ciseases can be
controlled or even cured when sani
tation, good flock, clean and pure
water, and some personal attention is
not given to the flock. Before you
begin treatment, clean up the prem
ises, clean out your houses, use sprays
and lime fully. After this is done, it
is time to begin working on the dls
eased birds. A number of good rem
edies have been prescribed and all
may be good'. The one that is used at
the College plant, and has given ex
cellent results is a simple one, which
consists of raising the such from the
head of the bird and then applying
iodine. After a good application of
iocine, cover the head with Carbolated
vaseline. If this is not obtainable,
any vaseline or good grease will serve
the purpose.
Another remedy that the writer has
used on a whole flock where indivi
dual treatment of the sores was not
practical, consists of a saturated sol
ution of Copperas. This solution can
be made by uisolving about 1 or 1 1-2
pounds of copperas in a quart of warm
water. Dip each birds head in this
solution every two or three days for
about two weeks.
All the above treatments are ex
ternal. Besides, these, some internal
treatments should be given. A very
successful internal treatment con
sits of using 3 pound's of salts and 5
pounds of sulphur for every one hun
dred pouncs of mash. This should be
NEWSPAPER EXPERIENCE
To one who has never had the experience of getting
out a newspaper there must, of necessity, bem any things
connected with the work w’hich are unknown. It would be
a great education if each reader of The Progress Could as
sume full charge for one month, assuming fill responsib
ility for every word which appears in the paper, as well
as for those which are left out, either by accident or by
intent. An on top of the cuty of getting the paper out,
there should be added the detailed routine of the business
ends of the publication. A month of such experience woulc
give nine out of every ten readers, a different'view of oui
labers, and would convince them that only training and
experience can make possib e the keeping in mind of a
hundred and one things which have a distinct bearing up
on the publication itself.
The ecitor who really loves his work and endeavors to
produce a paper which is a credit to himself and to his
community does not have the easiest job in the world.
Human nature is a strange thing, and there are as many
different sorts of people to please as* there are readers of
the paper. The very thing which one reader likes best in
the paper may be the thing which another reade r con
dems the editor for publishing. The little personal mention
which would be accepted by some as a friendly joke may
prove offensive to others. The editorial touching upon
some local condition or circumstance which certain read
ers think should be written may have a dozen sound rea
sons for remaining unwritten —reasons of policy, reasons
of community welfare, reasonsi of tolerance.
And so we might go enumerating indefinitely problems
which must be met and solved daily by theeditor who
really cares. Is it any wonder, then, that he makes mis
takes; that not one issue of the paper comes forth hut
what the editor in the quiet of his home and with the fin
ished product in his hand can see things in his paper
which he wishes were not there, and tinks of things which
should have been there but are not; that as he checks up
errors of omission and 1 commission, notes the wrong in
itials or the misspelled names, and realizes that his read
ers have no way of knowing the hundreds of errors which,
because of his vigilance, were avoided, he wonders if his
readers even vaguely realize how much of sincerity and
honesty of purpose have gone into that sheet, which al
ready has gone to the four corners of the earth and must
stand as an indelible record of his ability of lack of abil
ity?
As The Progress’ family of readers has grown to be a
real large family, we have realized more and more the
responsibility resting upon us. And as. we si t down to
write an editorial giving expressions to some thought up
permost in the minds of the people, or which carries to
our readers, something which has become so strongly a
part of our own though that we pass it on for their con
sideration, there comes before our mind a picture of each
individual reader. As we try to amagine ourse'f as
speaking direitly to that individual there surges up with
in us a longing to Fray something helpful, something in
teresting, something which will help him or her on the
journey through life.
For after all, the human race is one great family and
each human being is subject to heartaches and disappoint
ments, just as hidden within each heart as an ambition and
yearning to realize some one thing. And very frequently
we go over our entire list of subscribers and as w r e look at
each name, endeavoring to picture in our mind its owner
a longing for the friendship and love of that reader rises
within us. We like to feel that our readers are one great
femi’y bourn, together by just a little closer tie —The Pro
gress’ family—and that while there are many whom we
shah', never meet in this world, we are faiends of every one
of them.
We ask that when our readers note the many errors
made, or when we have said something with which they
cannot agree, they will bear in mind that human frailties
and limitations had something to do with it —that the head
rather than the heart, fell down on the job—and hat our
greatest ambition is to serve all of our readers in the
best way that we know how.
THE LYONS PROGRESS, LYONS* GEORGIA
continued until the flock shows no
sign of the disease.
Cleanliness is essential, especially
when baby chicks are being rearea.
Often times a flock of baby chicks
develops sorehead and die before any
visible signs can make its appearance.
A high fever is characteristic and the
little fel!ow r s die in several days.
Whenever soreread is evident the
water should receive special attention.
Add to the water enough potassium
permanganate solution (crystals can
be secured from any drug store at a
very low cost) to turn the water a
pinkish or slightly wine color. This
solution will kill any of the bacteria
that happens to drop into the water
from an infected biros head.
SCALEY LEG —I will not burden
with long names, but will tell you one
of the best methods of doing away
with this malady. A little parasite
(longing for a hiding place and for
food goes under the scales of the
birds legs. Here he begins to form
his home and a protection for him
self. Some people consider this par
asite Just a natural thing for chickens
to have, and they are correct, but why
let the birds suffer and lose their
strength and energy to a parasite
which brings no good. The simplest
treatment consists of washing the legs
with a warm soapy solution, using a
stiff brush to soften the scales. Then
dip the legs in kerosene, being care-
ful not to get any of it on the upper
feathered portion of the leg above the
hock point, as kerosene oil will blister
the skin if applied where the air does
not reach it. Washing the legs, first
with the warm soapy solution does
not kill the parasite, but merely loos
• ens the scales and softens the waxy
subptances underneath in orcer that
the kerosene may penetrate to their
hiding places.
Feeding Dairy Oatye
1. A good dairy cow is sensitive
and highly tempermental. Be gentle
to her. Do not run her with dogs or
beat her with a stick, if you wish to
get goou returns from her.
2. Keep a record sheet and milk
scales in the barn. Know the pro
duction of each cow so that you can
feed her intelligently.
3. Feed a balanced ration contain
ing as many grown feeds as possible
Feed’ each cow in the herd separately
and in proportion to the amount of
milk she gives.
4 Pure water is cheap. Milk is
more than 87 per cent water which
makes it most important to provide
a constant supply of clean fresh water
5. If you have 10 or more cows you
should have a silo. If you have only
5 cows a good cream separator will
pay for itself in one year with the in
creased profit.
6. A dairy cow makes larger re
turns over cost of feed when on good
pasture. That is nature’s balanced
ration. Plant a good permanent pas
ture.
7. Grow legume hay crops. They
increase the milk flow and are soil
builders. Clovers, alfalfa, vetch, cow
peas, velvet beans and soy beans are
legumes which make good roughage
for dairy cows.
8. Plant some cover crops for late
fall and early spring grazing. They
increase the milk flow at the season
when dairy products bring the best
price. They protect the soil from
washing.
9. Save all the manure possible, it
is very valuable. Use bedding in the
barns to soak up the liquid manure.
10. A concrete floor in the dairy
barn is easily kept clean and sanitary.
11. Feed one pound of grain a day,
for each 3 —3 1-2 pounds of milk pro
duced.
12. Feed all the roughage the cows
will clean up.

UNSHAKEN TESTIMONY.
Time is the test of truth. And
Doan’s Kidney Pius have stood tne
test. No Lyons resident who suf
fers backache, or annoying urinary
. ais can remain unconvinced by this
twice-told testimony.
Mrs. J. G. Mitchell, 29 College bt„
Statesboro, Ga., says: “I was a
constant sufferer from kidney com
plaint. Dropsical swellings set in
and I was in bad condition. My kid
neys didn’t act as they should and I
had severe pains in my back. I took
Doan’s Kidney Pills and they soon
gave me fine relief.”
FOUR YEARS LATER Mrs. Mit
chell said: "I still use Doan’s Kid
ney Pill’s occasionally when I feel
the need of a kidney medicine and
they never fail to relieve me. I
gladly confirm my former state
ment.”
