CRISP COUNTY FARMERS DO
ING WELL WITH DAIRY COWS
Mr. Tom Wright, a young farmer
of the Penia Community of Crisp
County, started milking three cows
in October 1921 —November Ist, he
added two more cows. From the
five cows in ten months he shipped
$334.00 worth of cream. His ex
penjteee, feed,, and tickets
for shipping, amount to $91.70,
which gives him a profit of $343,30
for cream. During this time $41.00
worth of skim milk was fed to hogs
and two calves were sold for $16.00
which runs his profits to 300.30, for
the five cows for ten months. Mr.
Wright estimated his manure to be
worth $50.00, which will increase his
feed crop yields the next season.
Besides milking and taking care of
these cows, Mr. Wright took care of
his crop just as well as he did before
he began milking.
These cows of Mr. Wrights were
allowed to run on his carpet grass
and Lespedeza pastures, and through
i his bean fields after he had harvested
his corn—with a little concentrates
being fed at night.
Other small farmers in Crisp and
other South Georgia counties are
succeeding equally as well as Mr.
Wright.
Sow some of your idle lands in
Carpet grass and Lespedeza. Start
into the dairy business on a small
scale and build up your herd by use
of a pure bred sire.
I will'be glad to give you a list of
reputable pasture grass seed dealers,
their prices, and will be glad to help
you select your lands for a pasture.
F. M. CONNER,
Development Agent.

TIPS FOR TAXPAYERS
If you are single and support in
your home one or more relatives over
whom you exercise family control,,
you are the head of a family and en- j
titled, in your income-tax return for
the year 1923, to the same exemp
tions granted a married person.
These are $2,500 if the net income
was more than $5,000. In addition
the head of a family may claim a
S4OO credit for each person depend
ent upon him for chief support if
such person is under 18 years of age
or incapable of self-support because
mentally or physically defective.
For example, a son supports in his
home an aged mother and two sisters
14 and 16 years of age. His net
income for 1923 was $3,000. He is
entitled to an exemption of $2,500
plus a S4OO credit for each depend
ent, a total of $3,700. While he
pays no tax, he must file a return,
because his net income was in ex
cess of SI,OOO.
An exemption as the head of a
family can be claimed by only ope
member of a household.
We have just received a lot of nice
MULES, MARES and HORSES, and
invite you to inspect them before
purchasing elsewhere.
