WHERE GEORGIA STANDS
The Illumination sf Comparison
Common sens? and patriotism are
essential to good citizenship. Unfor
tunately common sense is the most
Uncommon kind of sense. Likewise
good judgment, which is a correct
guess as to the future based on com
mon sense, is also very uncommon. It
would seem good judgment if sickness
is the chief tause of ignorance, pover
ty and crime, as men with common
sense agree that the chief function
of government, and the chief purpose
of statesmen would be to prevent sick
ness, but many people do not believe
that ignorance and poverty are the
chief causes of crime and that sickness
Is tile principal cause of ignorance and
poverty so much money is spent in
caring for the finished product, the
criminal, the insane, the blind, tile
deaf and dumb, and iittle money is
spent to stop the manufacturing of
such by preventable disease.
Tile law makers in some states and
cities have shown good judgment 1n
the appropriation of liberal sums for
the protection of the people's health
and the results have been most satis
factory.
Florida places a tax of 1/2 of 1 mill
on all property and is providing very
ample protection for the people against
communicable diseases. Thu tax
yieldH 18.2 cents per person, while
Georgia appropriates only 1/G that
amount per person.

Failure in the ability
swine to reproduce may bo caused by
any of several conditions, say 'f'ecial- |
Ists of the United States department |
of Agriculture. It may result from a
disease or injury that seriously af
fect.', or destroys the secretory repro
ductive organs. It may be caused by
i'.•proper functioning of the system,
which in turn is often brought about
r j\ unsuitable feed or faulty elimina
tion of waste products, or it may be
( tie to a general lowering of body vi
tality.
There are also eases of sterility or
■tnpotetice for which delinite causes
uv ditlicult to find. Failure to breed
Suite frequently occurs in boars and
-sews which have been titled and kept
u high condition for show purposes.
In some instances tlie sow fails to
.■oiiie in heat, or perhaps indicates
.but she is In heat and is successfully
served by the hour without resulting
conception. In other cases the boar
shows no desire to mate, or acts in
effectively.
The first step in overcoming the
trouble Is to Hud a positive cuuse,
when possible, by making a thorough
examination. This should include a
starch for physical defects, the pres
ence of disease, the results of injuries,
or lowered vitality from uny cuuse.
When, from such examination, It
appears that proper treatment will
prove successful, remedies should be
administered promptly. Hut if the
cause is obscure, or if there is little
likelihood of correcting the defect suc
cessfully, it is best to remove the ani
mal from the breeding herd. Boars
may be castrated and fitted fot
slaughter as market hogs. Similarly,
sows should be discarded when they
become uncertain breeders.
When there is no apparent cause
for failure of swine to mate, experts
of the United States Department of
Agriculture frequently have observed
a ix/.y or sluggish temperament.
These hogs generally are of rite type
knovn as "hot-bloods." They are fat
uttd show an unwillingness to exer
cise. Tlte tendency is more common
in mature hogs and increases with
age, but is frequently found in young
stock. Cureless and unwise inbreed
ing practices tend to produce hogs of
tills type, hut inbreeding does not nec-
essurily bring about tlte condition.

seen in onlv an occasional animal it

in crop production alone, not in
cluding any other element of com

Assuming that the tax rates are
about the same or at least high enough
to afford the people a good and effi
cient government, it stands to reason
that it man In Georgia paying on $395
should receive approximately three
times tlte protection that one in South
Carolina paying on only $123 receives,
yet the opposite is true for the tax
payer in Soutli Carolina receives just
three times the protection afforded
the tax payer in Georgia,
The per capita crop value for 1919
was $207.33 in Georgia and $169.80 in
Alabama. The assessed realty valu
ation per capita in Georgia was
$395.67. in Alabama $806.73. A human
life in Georgia is of no less value than
in Alabama, yet although the Georgia
citizen produced $37.53 more and paid
taxes on $88.74 more than the Alabama
citizen, Georgia invested only 3.1 cents
to protect that citizen’s health, while
Alabama invested 6.7 cents, more than
twice the amount for the same pur
pose. This is the reputation that
Georgia statesmen cannot brag of. it
is not a good advertisement to scatter
broadcast. it is no condition that
any good citizen can boast of.

may tie possible to recognize the fault
in blood lines or type. But when fail
ure to mate occurs frequently and
when the type is right, the indications
are that the system of management is
fundamentally wrong.
Upon the appearance of this condi
tion an effort should lie made to cor
rect it by a restriction or modification
of the diet and an abundance of exer
cise. The ration must linve the fut-
produetng feeds largely reduced and
protein feeds plentifully supplied.
Pastures should be provided where pos
sible, but when these are not avail
able then tin 1 ration should consist of
alfalfa meal, alfalfa, soybean or clover
hay to supply protein and vitamines,
high-grade tankage, fish meal, linseed
meal, or a good grade of white mid
dlings and whole oats—with hut small
amounts of corn or ground barley, to
gether with a good mineral mixture.
In addition an abundance of daily ex
ercise must be given. This will prob
ably have to lie forced by driving the
lionr or sow about the paddocks or
pastures daily until the animal is
tired.
By maintaining the digestive func
tions in a proper manner, by causing
abundant exercise and by supplying
proper nourishment, there will be
brought about a proper elimination of
the body wastes and a rebuilding of
the tissues. This should cause tlie
reproductive organs to function prop
erly and bring about a toning up of
the system iti such manner that breed
ing operations will be successfully con
ducted..
Swine breeders must he alert to the
necessity for ruggedness in herd hours
in addition to other qualifications.
Breeders must refrain also from too
great a degree of fineness and smooth
ness in the selection of their breeding
animals, or loss of breeding power will
ultimately develop in their herds.
