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.

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. CARD OF THANKS.
