A spark from n short circuit
in the motar of tho gasoline
filling station in front of the Hooks

Capt. R ; N. Westbrook
Quits As Marshal
ALBANY, May 18.—Announce
ment is made of n change in the of
fice of deputy IT. S. marshal here
through the resignation of Capt. R.
N. Westbrook nnd the appointment
of W. Duncan Davis to succeed him.
Mr. Westbrook, who was for years
chief of police in Albany, is one of
thc best known officers of this sec
tion, with relatives and many friend*
in Americus. On account of his
^n.lvanced age and his other inter-
1 csts, he decided to retire from thc
deputy marshal’s office. Mr. Davis
is a son of U. S. MarsVI J. 3. Da
vis.
me* made up his mind that he want
ed to go into thc dairy business on a
proper basis, he had no trouble get
ting credit. However, thc point was
stressed that thc farmer had to show
ho meant business and.an education
al campaign in 1914 was inaugurated
among the farmers, previous to the
establishment of the creamery indus
try. The market grew out of a dc-
niand by the farmers themselves
The- first creamery was built on lo
cal capital. Thc largest creamery
now has a plant investment of ap
proximately $.150,000, and covers an
area equal to all of ’ the buildings
of the Moultrio Oil and Fertiliser
company.
What Merchants Say.
k* E. Webb of the Matthews
Trading company,stated that thc
merchants he talked to wlthrut ex
ception said thc dairy industry had
saved them from thc disastrous con
sequences of thc boll weevil. He
stated they were all enthusiastic
about tho influence of the dairy in
dustry upon thc general prosperity
of their' section during the present
depression, Whilo the farmers had
their cotton just the same ms in many
other secti-ms. semi-monthly . pay
roll from the dairy industry had In
sured a continuation of business
certainly^ not enjoyed by other com
munities which had reverted back to
tho one cron system of cotton agri
culture, under the false lure of a
40 conk market.
Mr. Stratford, speaking from the
fnrmcr’n viewpoint, laid special em
phasis upon the fundamental neces
sity of any class of live stock. de
velopment, whether it be in beef cat
tle, the dairy business or thc hog
Industry, namely, permanent * pas
tures, Horn in Alabama and being
a graduate of the Auburn State Col-'
lege of Agriculture, the success of
thc dairy industry wan probably less
of a revelation to him than liny oth
er member of the Selma party be
cause he was already familiar with
the conditions and fully aware of
Ihe essential requirements of a sure
enough animal husbandry in any
country. Mr. Stratford recited the
simple common aense rules of suc
cess which had been practiced in
Dallas county under the able leader
ship of John Blake, who has been
•the county agent for ten years —
thc building of permanent pastures,
the matter of ample feed production,
including plenty of roughage nnd the
succulent feeds that come from the
! money-making dairy cows and
"boarders” and the absolute neces
sity of a Cow Testing Association
no that thc truth about production
flight • be determined. k
A Georgia Example.
Mr. Stratford offered a pertinent
illustration of all of these essentials,
by citing the case of a herd of dairy
cows in a county in Georgia, which
under one class of management had
simply paid their feed bills and
broke even, whereas the same herd
ot cows, with ‘the boarders culled
out, with a change of ration and
a few other practical points of hand
ling had been placed on a net earn
ing basis. I none month this same
herd under a more intelligent man
agement showed a gross earning of
$700.00 and a net profit of at Jcast
half that amount.

local creamery, interviewed the man
ager of the largest creamery in Sel
