$1,000 In Prizes Offered
From the standpoint of valuable
prizes offered and the manner In which
mmmHt.Hnts are turning in subscriptions.
The Milledgeville News circulation con
test promises to be one of the biggest
and most successful undertakings of the
kind over put on by a weekly news
paper in this entire section of Georgia.
Tlie friends of the various contestants
are doing their full part towards making
the affair one of marked success in the
end.
A Big Week Begins
Commencing Saturday morning of this
week end continuing through Friday
afternoon of next week, November 17th.
the various contestants will probably
do their most important work. During
this period the contestants will gain
more for the same work than will at
my time during the remainder of the
contest, for the reason the bonus votes
to be given with each $15,00 turned in
on subscript inns will be greater than
the votes offered after Friday of next
week, November 17th. Therefore, I hose
interested in seeing 11 particular eon
lestunt. win out in the contort can help
most by turning in their subscriptions
by or before Friday afternoon, Novem
ber 17th, ut 7 o’clock. With each $15.00
turned in during the week eoiunr’iieing
Saturday morning, November 12th, and
ending Friday evening. November 17th.
at 7 o’clock, 75,000 bonus vote* will be
given to :i contestant, while .1 similar
sum turned in after this period will be
good for only 50,000 -xtrn bonus votes.
The contestants in The News sub
scription 1 contest arc thoroughly ini
pressed with the importance of getting
in their work early and they are call
ing upon their friends not to delay in
giving them subscriptions. Attention
is Icing called to the fact that a sub
scription paid in before V ridav cm 11
ing, November 17th. counts for more
than subscriptions turned in after that
date, the difference coining in bv
icason of the greater number of bonus
votes' given for cash subscriptions
turned in between this time and next

Mrs. Charles -Gibson, lyric «o-
prnno, of Milledgeville, Gn., who
made such a radiant debut at
WSB’s noon hour Wednesday,
will again grace the 5 to 6 o’clock
program delighting countless more
listeners. At the same hour two
instrumentalists, A. Dodd,
guitarist, and Fred H. Cooledge,
ninndolinist, will offer some or the
their duets which they render in a
characteristically different man

Mrs. Gibson, one ot Millodge-

and a pupil of Alfredo Bnrilli, is

doubt tally there is profit in the dnjry
industry if xvo can but evolve the ,-
p--r system of breeding, feeding and
cure. Mr. Fitch was born and reared
on the farm, and Ims made the dairy
industry the study of his life, lie
is well qualified to givo valuable in
formation and instruction along this
line.
This meeting will not be a long
drawn out affair, hardly more thim
thirty or forty minutes of your time
will be required, and I am surt- that
every dairyman in the county can well
afford to devote this much time in
gaining additional information which
will facilitate his work, and make it
more pleasant and profitable.
I expect to see personally ns many
of the poultry raisers and dairymen an
possible before the above meetings take
place, but whether I do «r not the in

About one-fourth as linn li ‘orghum
svrup was made in the United States ill
1921 as was produced in 1KHII. The
lowest prices for the 1921 crop were
received in Mississippi, Georgia, an-'
Alabama. In Georgia the production
was 3,478,(10(1 gallons and the average
price was forty rents a gallon. In
Mium-Mitn the price stood right around
one dollar, ami in other states wes
even higher. Georgia ]irndurod*9l) gal
L.iis per acre and Minnesota produced
110.
Several factois, aside’ from the com
pet it ion of sugar cane syrup caused, the
olxver value of the southern gorwn sor
ghum. in Georgia for instance, sor-
ghiini svrup is mostly made in the small
farm plants, and about the* only uni
formity between the small lots of syrup
is the lower quality. Uniformity and
high* quality is obtained in the syrup
made- i lilarger plants where the- iiiauu
fact tire is controlled by scientific-
methods.
Ill Georgiap rne-tienlly Ihe on v
larifientiun during the evaporation is
that obtained by skimming. For sen
gliuiii juice skimming is not sufficient
to prevent cloudy syrup, but it is tlie-
only process the small producer can
use. Setting and filte-ration are out
adaptable to small outfits.
Sorghum syrup making requires close
hcmirul control. The juice contains
more gummy substances and su-pend
t-el matetr ban cane juice. The- acidity
is too high and must be e-eirrec-ted by
adding liine—nottoo much or the col
or or flavor xvill be impaired. If the
sorghum is milled with the leaves on
the syurp xxill be of a lower quality,
nml stripping and heading by hand in
cronsc-H the- costs to u gre-ute-r extent
than with sugar cane. The color can
be improved by decolorizing material.-.
The utilization of by-products is an
adnvntage the sorghum industry offers.
The lonxn*s and bagasse will afford H5
per cent o ft lie- fuel needed to make the
syrup in ill urge size plant, and the
seed is an additional source of revenue.
There- is room for much improvement
towifrds a variety high syrup yields,
and the possibilities in this line- are
great since setrghuni i* a plant that is
readily bred for certain qualities. By
selection and combination -if varieties
maturing at sui-ce--ting date- nail keep
ing well in the field after cutting the
milling season can be lengthened. 1 in
provemeuts in harvesting and stripping
iiinrhinerv can In* mnih-, while very
good inai-liine* for both purpose* are
alrcadv on the marksl.

ing the fact that the boll weevil have |
almost taken certain sections of the I
country and to lie found in great num
bers in most any part, J. I’. 1‘errv, me'!
of the county’a foremost cotton growers
has proven thnt he can raise cotton de
spite the weevil.
On about .TOO acres Mr. Berry will
gather 250 bales of the f!t”-ry staple ,
this year. Reports are to the effeet
that one cropper on the Perry planta
tion gathered -t t bales of cotton on two
plows, another 00 bales from three
plows, and ;i third 57 bales from three
plows, besides high averages by the
other croppers on the farm.
If this is not growing eotton sm-iess
fully under weevil conditions the people
of Terrell would like to hear from him
who has accomplished more.
According trf government gin figures
recently published, Terrell county I “el
the state ill cotton production, and it is
generally thought by the citizens of the
county that the final report xxill still
show Terrell maintaining her supremacy
as a cotton growing county.
