"We are sorry to note the illness of THE LYONS PROGRESS, LYONS, GEORGIA. BY C. G. GARNER, County Agent, and MISS WILLIE MAE VANN, Home Demonstration Agent. Have the Pou’try Sales been of any benefit to you? I would like to have some letters from farmers who have made use of these poultry sales tefling what they have meant to them I want your opinion as this sea sons runs are over with for the spring and there very probably wiE not be any more sales until this fall. If you like them or if you do not like them, write me. Total Amount Poultry Sold in Toombs Toombs County has marketed ac cording to my records of the Sea board cars and the Georgia and Florida cars from the foTowing points: Vidalia, Lyons, Ohoopee and Normantown, 21,285 pounds of poul try for $4,549.49. In addition to this a large -quantity has been sold through Alston and Uvalda since those points are close to a largb poul try producing section of Toombs, but we have no way of telling what portion of the sa r es at those points came from Toombs County. The above amount represents a full car load and half of another carload that has been sold in this county fron March 29th to June 21st —three months. There is no way of telling the actual saving to the farmers since the cars have kept the Savan nah and other Georgia markets in a healthly condition. By doing that every person who has either shipped or sold chickens in any way has ben efited by these sales. Total Carried off by Seaboard Cars The Seaboard cars that have made five trips have carried off 121,567 pounds of poultry and paid out to the farmers $26,229.03 a’ong the route. That much poultry in addition to the regular receipts that the Georgia Markets have been receiving would nave depressed many of them. But the Seaboard is not the only road that has been operating these cars. Others have been loading cars regu larly. The Georgia and Florida have made fivet rips. Many others have made one or more trips. The total results have been that large quanti- j ties of Georgia poultry has been ship-; ped to New York and relieved what appeared live an over production in poultry for this season. Really we believe that this one factor has saved the poultry producer of Georgia many thousands of dolars and has been a big factor in saving the poul try industry from a big slum which w-ould have ruined it as a cash crop for the farmer. A great deal of credit is due the Seaboard Air Line railroad for their untiring efforts in making this a success and sfso to Mr. J. A. Relly Poultry Company of At lanta who haves tuck by the cars faithfully and given the top of the market on each run and often run cars at a loss when they did not load. Miss Vann has worked faithfully in this county and has demonstrated culling poulrty to many farmers and their wives. She has brought in much poultry and been of much help in notifying the farmers of the sale. The merchants of all of the towns in 1 this county have stuck by the cars i without a sing’e exception that I know of. They have contributed i much to the sucess of this enter i prise and the farmers of the county - have shown their appreciation. Stag* Sold at Frier Prices One of the commission men in , Savannah, D. Kirkland, wrote the ! county agent a nice letter saying that be could use all the stags that came into these sales. We appreciated that offer very much as the cars does not care' for the friers over 2 1-4 ! pounds. We did not use his offer | because the hotel here bought al’ of j the overgrown friers as they prefer | them to the small frier and thus help i ed in handling the poultry. Kill 801 l Weevils Toombs County has the best pros pects for a cotton crop she has had in several years. These cToudy days are fine for dusting each night and keeping a coat of dust on your cot ton. Try to dust your cotton once ! each week any how. Calcium arse nate can be bought now for 11 l-4c Miss Ollie Powell. Hope she will soon recover. Mrs. P. M. Mann and Miss Nell Brantley spent Saturday afternon at the home of Mr. T. C. Jewell. Mrs. E. J. Kersey is spending a few day* with her son, Mr. Alston Kersey near Lyons. delivered Lyons, Vidalia, Ohoopee, Uvalda or Normantown. At that j price you can afford to risk losing a dusting or two in order to protect j your co<tton. By all means stap on , top of the weevils. If you have him completely under control you will not need to dread the cloudy days, but I you do not a cloudy wet spell will a good crop. The lazy man always blames the weather for his failure. The hust ler is too busy to lay the blame, he just naturally keeps a jump ahead of the grass and of tihe weevils and makes the cotton crop. Calcium arse nate dusted on is good insurance. Use Dusters You can get Feeny hand dusters from the First National Bank of Lyons for $11.60 delivered which is the wholesale cost, or you can get the Springfield for $5.00 You can get the Johnson Duster for $40.00 or '-ou can get the Georgia for $70.00, i the Woodruff for $63.00. The Per | faction for $67.50 The Perfection, C orgia and Woodruff are giving ex f-'ptionaVy good results and some of Johnsons are doing equally well. If you will use a two row duster for i while you will not use a hand dust- Ic" 'rg. You can dust 18 acres of , on. by dusting all night with a j't .v : - ow machine and there are very few people who will use a hand ma ch're on more than 5 acres and use regularly. Keep your cotton dust ed at least once each week and lets | make a cotton crop this year. Others have done it, why not you? Save the Hogs Reports indicate a short hog crop for Georgia this year. That means the Georgia butchers and packers I v4’l have to pay a better price for Georgia hogs. Be sure to save your hogs and do not le* the hog eholrea o r s w?ne plague kill them. I have an I idea that nitrs are going to be j hard to vet th’s fal 1 to put in the pea ! nut fio’ds and the bean fields. If vou raise them yourself you will have them but if you hove to buv j t>iero vou wil' very probably have a | hard time getting them.
