POULTRY CAR ON SEABOARD R. R.
WILL RUN FRIDAY MARCH 29TH
POULTRY MUST BE ON HAND
ON TIME FOR WEIGHING TO
AVOID DELAY—CAR TO RUN
LATER THAN SCHEDULE.
Arrangements have been complet
ed with the S. A. L. railroad and
one of the largest poultry buyers to
operate a poultry car down the Sea
board from Arnericus to Savannah.
This car will be on the morning local
freight due in Vidalia at 9:40 A. M.,
at Lyons at 10:35 A. M. and at
Ohoopee at 11:05 A. M. Have all
of your poultry in coops or in home
made crates so that they can be got
ten at very quickly as all pou’try
must "be weighed up whiJe the poul
try car is waiting and the car will
then go on the feright train. The
car willvery probably run some later
than the scheduled time as they wilt
be delayed some enroute dueto load
ing at the other places.
Be sure of two 1 things—First that
their craw does not stock out with
corn or any feed. In other words
give them a good feed the night be
fore, but a very light feed that morn
ing. If they come in stuffed they
will be docked % pound for hens and
pound for friers.
Second—Be sure not to bring
them to the car door with their l*gs
tied. This is important as th,ey will
not have to unite or cut strings.
Put them in oxes that can be gotten
into quickly. Time is important at
this car. Somebody else will have
some chickens that they want to sell
too.
You may find out what prices will
be paid by looking on the Bulletin
Boards at Ohoope, Lyons and Vidalia
as the railroad agents will have them
posted there or you my call up the
agents or call either Miss Vann or
County Agent Garner after Tuesday,
March 25th. We will get notices of
what the prices will be at the cai
door sometime Tuesday and will also
have the prices in next weeks issue
of the Lyons Progress and the Vida
lia Advance. Watch those papers
closely and if you are not a sub
scriber you had better subscribe so
as to be sure to get the correct prices
list. These cars will run through
here at regular intervals and the
prices will be announced through
these two papers, so is it important
that you be in touch with one of the
above source at all times.

CO. AGENT GARNED MEETS
WITH AGENTS AT CORDELL
County Agent Garner attended
the marketing meeting at
Cordele last Friday, when final plans
were perfected by the poultry buy
ers, Seaboard officials, and county
agents for running a regular poultry
car on the Seaboard from Arnericus
to Savannah buying poultry at 31
stops.
This is an experiment in poultry
marketing and the Seaboard is to be
commended for undertaking and
establishing a rate permitting buy
ers to operate cars on their line
using the local frights and buying at
most of the regular stops.
Mr. Bagwell, Superintendent of
the Division has spent considerable
time working up the details of the
part the railroad could play in assist
ing with the poultry and other lines
of marketing.
NOTCIE
]Hie next session of Treutlen

ed to attend.

The Seaboard Air Line has done
a very constructive and unselfish
piece of work in establishing this
poultry car, as they were the origin
ators of the idea for this section.
The rate on the car from Arnericus
to Savannah is SSO which is extre
mely loy considering the many stops
and possible delay that they will have
to undergo. They have given much
time toward gefttir , the right plan i
outlined and we believe they have an j
idea that will mean much toward the j
development of the poultry industry
in this section. The success of this j
whole things depends on the cooper
ation of the farmers in bringing in»
good poultry and bringing them in
such shape that the buyers can weigh
them up very rapidly.
Depot agents will start weighing j
and grading at Lyons and Ohoopee ]
one hour before the train is report
ed due. The car will rmeain in long
enough at Vidalia to weigh after ar
rived there.

A. & M. SCHOOL TRUSTEE
FOR TOOMBS COUNTY
Ever so often we need to be intro
duced to our homefolks. We have
many prophets in our midst but they
are without honor at home. We
know the president of the United
States, the Governor, and other fed
eral and state officials, but there
are men and women in our county
that play an important part in the
educational up-lift of the state that
we do not know.
The A. &. M. School for the First
Congressional District is located at
Staseboro. It is one of the forces
for good in our midst. It offers a
first class high school education at
a minimum cost and cannot be du
plicated by another boarding insti
tution in the state. This school is
developing into one of the State Nor
mals of the State and is actually of
fering the first year of normal col
lege work at the beginning of the
fall session.
The Trustee of such an institution
fills an important place in the edu
cational scheme of the state. Do
you know who the trestee for the A.
& M. School is for this county? Who ,
is the local man or woman that can
advise you with first hand knowl
edge of the merits of the A. & M.
School?
This paper is glad to present to
you that individual—Mr. Grover C.
Brantley, Lyons, Ga., the Toombs
Coqnty Trustee. You may know of
this man as a Business man and cit
izen but we are reasonably sure of
presenting to you a stranger when
we present him as an official of the ;
A. & M. School at Statesboro.
Now that you know this man in
his official capacity will you get in
touch with him when you want ad- J
vice about educational problems? He
occupies his place on the Board of
Trustees by the appointment of the 1
Governor of the state and by the I
virtue of his interest in the educa-;
tion of young people. Write him'
and talk with him about your edu-;
cational problems.
The Methodist Sunday School will
hold a group District Sunday School
Institute irt Lyons at the Methodist
Church on Thursday. April 3rd, be
ginning at 10 o’clock and running
thru the day.
Dinner will be served at the
church.
All Sunday School of the group
are expected to he present.

Winter has held on remarkably
late in Georgia this year, and gar

layed. This work will now come
i with a rush as spring open. Even
i though many plantings have been
delayed, or the young plants killed
where planted early, we should not
slight the work in our hurry. The
