BRINGSJSIO9O.IS
also car of sweet potatoes
BRINGS $357.56 TO FARMERS—
NEXT HOG SALE TO BE 4TH
FRIDAY IN NOVEMBER.
The cooperative hog sale at Lyons
last Friday brought $1090.15 for
117 hogs brought in by 14 farmer.
Tops brought 7.36 which was the
highest sale reported for the week.
The next sale will be the fourth Fri
day in November which will be Nov.
23rd. List any hogs you want to
put in this sale with the county
agent.
Car of Sweet Potatoes
The carload of sweet potatoes
$357.56 into the farmers hands above
the cost o$ sacks and labor in the
car. That was a net of lc per
pound to the farmers. Mr. Perry
Sanders reports he sold SIOB worth
from lVi acres of land and still has
approximately 100 bushels of culls
for hog feed. In addition to that
several hushels more were secured
by replow'ing the patch and getting
the potatoes left the first time.
Nineteen farmers loaded potatoes in
this car. County Agent_ Ga.-ner
says he hopes to Veil another during
the next few days.
Evidently there is some other crops
that are good for money, besides
cotton. It often happens, though,
that we think these other crops al
ways return such large figures per
acre as the above returns of Mr.
Sanders while cotton can return fif
teen or twenty dollars per acre,
still be considered the best.

COTTON CROP IN TOOMBS
HEAVIER THAN EXPECTED
Indications are now that Toombs
county will make more than a 5,000
bale cotton crop this year instead of
less than 5,000, as was freely pre
dicted a few weeks ago. This crop
will be very near the same as the
1921 crop, from present indications,
and with the higher price, will bring
v ery near the same money as the
1922 crop of 8,200 bales. Business
men report collections better than
last year. - » *..

OUR PRAYER THAT WE MAY NEVER FORGET

MANY RECEIVE ASSISTANCE
FROM AMERICAN RED CROSS
\
Over 53,900 ex-service men and
their families have received assist
ance from the American Red Cross
in eight Southern States during the
last year, it w T as announced today.
They are divided as follows: North
Carolina, 5,652; South Carolina, 7,-
382; Tennessee, 2,942; Georgia, 6,-
813; Alabama, 14,746; Florida, 4-
269; Louisiana, 9, 462; and Mississ
ippi, 2,743.
Help given consisted chiefly of se
curing government compensation for
disabled soldiers, adjusting disputed
claims, caring for dependents while
claims were being adjusted, as well
as numerous other services.
The fifth anniversary of the arm
istice, November 11, which marks
the opening of the Annual Red Cross
Roll Call, will see practically the
numerical strength of an army divi- ’
sion of disabled soldiers still in gov- j
ernment hospitals, government offi
cials state.
Brigadier General Frark ’ r . llin°s,
in commenting on the serious prob-,
lem presented by this army of dis
abled men said “We are still in the
duration of the war as regards this
problem. We are particularly in
terested in the work dealing with
these men who are in our hispitals
and assisting the men who have
claims that are difficult to establish.
We need the Red Cross cooperation
and assistance because it is capable
of going a step beyond what the law
authorizes, no matter what law we j
are operating under.
“This work of training men and
endeavoring to bring them back so
that they may stand on their own j
feet is awe-inspiring, and in it the
Red Cross spirit is inspiring all to
do their best. From my observation 1
in the work the Red Cross has been
most helpful and valuable, not only
to the disabled men, but to the Vet
erans’ Bureau in bringing about
measures of relief where needed,
and where the veteran is justly en
titled to relief.” j.
In addition to the work among
veterans of the war, the organization
has also given assistance to over 15,-
000 soldiers of the regular ramy sick
in government hospitals.
Through this work, thousands of
ex-service men who left the service
of their country with serious men-,
tal and physical handicaps have been
helped back cm a self-supporting
basis, and given a new incentive and
a fresh start in life.
CARD OF THANKS
I wish to thank the good people for
what they did and the kindness
shown to us during the sickness and
death of our beloved' father and hus
band, James W. Snow.
May God’s richest blessing rest
with each of you. •
! Mrs. James W. Sn<rw and ohUd£fit.

Agent will be there early that morn

Chickens should be fattened for
this sale, especially is this true of
old hens and grade hens that farm
ers will be wanting to get out of the
way for their purebred chickens.
They should be shut up for 10 days
at least and fed a soft mash. Chick
ens should be shut up by the 10th of
November and fed to have them in
the best shape.
Turkeys will do well fattening on
peas if turned into a pea field or if
you don’t have that, then feed them
grain or corn.
