JULY GRAND JURY
FILE PRESENTMENTS
STATE OF GEORGIA,
COUNTY OF BARTOW.
We the Grand Jury drawn and duly
sworn for the July Term of the Bar
tow Superior Court, 1917, make the
following presentments:
We express our appreciation to the
Honorable Court, and the officers, for
their consideration arid assistance, in
our efforts to render that service de
volved upon a body of this kind.
We call attention to the leaks, and
need of anew coat of paint upon the
roof and cornice of our Court House,
and recommend immediate attention
thereto. The harboring of pigeons in
the cornice and roof of this building
is proving a nuisance and menace, and
we ask that some method be devised
to protect and break this up.
We appeal to the Board of Roads
and Revenues for immediate consider
ation and attention to the condition of
our county jail, with recommendation
that they provide and maintain some
efficient system of sanitation; and as
early as possible, to make provision
for the erection of anew and modern
place for the safe keeping of the of
fenders against law.
We find appreciable improvement in
both the sanitary and general condi
tions of our Pauper Farm and its man
agement, with satisfactory statements
from the inmates as to care, feeding
and consideration given them. On ac
count of complaint made to this body,
we recommend the immediate removal
of the present matron, Mrs. Bet
Yancy, for cause.
We recommend the adoption and ai>-
plication of the State Health Law as
Approved August 17th, 1914, creating
a county Board of Health, sanitary reg
ulations, a District Health Commis
sioner, defining duties, jiowers and
compensation, together with all pow
ers and benefits as provided in Sec
tions 2,3, 4,5, 6,7, 8,9, 10, 11. 12
13, 14 and 15 of said Act; and that
said Act become effective, in force and
operation in Bartow county.
Proper committees have carefully
examined the various departments
and books of the county officials with
as much consideration as i>ossible,
and have been unable to discover fault
or irregularity; but on the other hand
we commend the accounting and rec
ords, as we find them intelligently and
accurately kepi.
The report of the County Treasurer,
and the Collector handling the tax re
ceipts of 1916 and beyond, will be pub
lished in detail for the benefit of the
public.
We recommend that these present
ments, together with the above stated
reports, he published in the county
newspaper approved for legal publica
tions.

OBITUARY
JOHN S. LEAK.
John S. Leak, one of the wealthiest
and most prominent of Bartow county
citizens, died at his home on Bridge
street at 6:30 Wednesday evening.
Mr. Leak was actively identified
with the business growth of Bartow
county, was associated in several im
jmrtant business concerns, was the
president of the Bank of Cartersviile
and one of the largest land owners in
the county. He was a truly Christian
gentleman who has spent all the years
| of his life in this county where he was
j known and loved by all who knew him.
Due to the fact that his death took
j place so shortly before this newspaper
■ went to press, a more extended ac
count of his life will be given next
week. --

Fire Destructive
To Grazing Interests
Various studies by experts of the
United States Department of Agri
culture and of the College of Agricul
ture prove beyond doubt the fact that
the annual burning of the range is
very detrimental to the grazing inter
ests. Surveyed areas, a part of which
were burned over annually, showed
markedly the effect of fire. The burn
ed-over areas supported a smaller
amount of coarse, worthless forage
than did the unburned areas. In addi
tion, the unburned areas showed a
gradual increase in the variety and
kind of valuable forage plants. The
stock grazing on the two classes of
areas were weighed each year, show
ing an advantage of several pounds
per head in favor of the unburned
range.
HAD TO TAKE THE DUMBWAITER ROUTE
OLDFIELD AND PALMA
RACE IN ATLANTA JULY 28
Atlanta Is to have a great automo
bile racing classic this year, as Bar
ney Oldfield, master driver of the
world, and Ralph De Palma, idol of
the speed saucers, will meet there in
three racing duels of 25, 15 and 10
miles next Saturday afternoon, July
-28, at the Southeastern. Fair Grounds,
to decide (he world’s dirt track cham
pionship.
The Atlanta clash of these bitter
enemies of the racing realm will be
the third and final one in a series of
three match-races. Barney defeated
his Italian rival at Milwaukee two
weeks ago, and Ralph made Oldfield
eat his dust at Detroit July Fourth.
Both would sacrifice almost anything
to vanquish the other in this last meet
ing which will crown anew dirt track
champion, and racing fans all over the
country are looking for sensational de
velopments when the pair of speed
kings meet in Atlanta next Saturday.
Sorghum For Forage
John R. Fain, Prof, of Agronomy, Ga.
State College of Agriculture
Of all the various forage crops pro
duced in the State sorghum is un
doubtedly the best, yielding a good
tonnage of excellent forage under
practically all conditions of soil, mois
ture and climate. Irrespective of
drouth, when rain comes, it develops
rapidly and yields at least a fair ton
nage. In addition to the low cost of
seed, which is a factor of importance,
it is relished by all classes of stock
and produces good gains in live weight.
Seeding may be broadcast or in drills;
both methods have advantages. When
planted in the production of baled hay,
broadcasting gives excellent results.
However, planted in rows it yields a
greater tonnage and there is the add
ed advantage of cutting and shocking in
the field, and feeding direct from the
shock.
Feeding the Milk Cow
ivtiitori P. Jarnigan, Prof, of Animal
Husb., Ga. State Col. of Agriculture.
Under-feeding is responsible for
much of the financial loss incurred
by dairymen. It must be remembered
that the cow uses at least half the
full feed for maintaining the body.
She should be given one pound of con
centrates for each 3 to 5 pounds of
milk produced; furthermore, the con
centrated part of the ration should be
high in protein. In whatever form
roughage may be given, the cow’s ap
petite should be the measure of the
amount allowed. Silage can be pro
duced very cheaply in'the South and
every farm with more than ten head
of milk cows should have one.
