The week of grand opera that
ended in Atlanta last week, is re

Richard Crokor, form or leader

Saturday afternoon at his residence
in Dublin, Ireland.
,,Tnn rain last week that ended
the extended sossiou of dry weath

hundreds of thousands of dollars
to farmers in this section. The
greatest beneficiary was tho grain
crops near ripening.
Forces of the Ohineso llopublic

The leaders of horn these nations

Loyd George, tho Premier of
Great Britain is likened to the
Rook of Gibraltar in international
affairs in connection with the com
plications growing out of the ef
forts to readjust economic condi

connected with tho late world war
has made a greater name in gov

ANNOUNCEMENT
In Georgia and other Southern
States many hogs are fattened on
peanuts and peanut pasture. It
lias been demonstrated by a num
ber of Experiment Stations that
good and cheap gains can be made
by using peauuts in a ration.
However when the ration is made
up entirely with peanuts a soft
and undesirable carcass is pro-]c oun ty and other Counties iu the
duced Experiments dondueted by Macon Circuit.
For Judge of the Superior Court.
The people of the Macon Cir
cuit will elect two Superior Court
Judges at the Primary to be held
in September, 1922. I am a can
didate for one of the Judgeships,
and will appreciate the votes of
the men and women of Houston
tho Georgia Experiment Station,
the U. S. Department of Aericul-
tuve, and the Experiment Stations
of Mississippi, North Carolina and
South Caiolina during tho last
three years have shown conclusive
ly that when hogs starting at a
weight of 100 pounds are fed on
peanuts in dry lots or grazed in
the field for a period of GO days or
more a soft carcass is produced,
and that it is impossible to pro
duce a hard carcass by boding
corn and tankage on corn and
cotton-seed meal to these soft hogs
for a subsequent period of GO
days or less.
Packers have discriminated
against ooft hogs for some timo
and have not paid tho southern
farmers as much for peanut-tea
hogs as for hogs fed on loeds
which prorluco a harder carcass.
The markets teem to demand hard
hogs and arc paying more for them
However there is a market for
soft liogs and if tho farmers in the
peanut sections can fatten hogs
profitably on peanuts and allow
the discrimination there is no
reason for discouraging the pro
duction of soft pork.
The Georgia Experiment Station
amt other Southern Experiment
Stations aro working cooperative
ly with the U. S
Agriculturo in trying to determine
to what ox ton t poarnuls may be
list'd in a ration without, produc
ing a soft hog- Work is being
done also towards finding a method
of hardening hogs that have been
mado soft by this feed,

DAIRY INDUSTRY
The development of the dairy
industry in this state, is one of
the most encouraging of all the
tho signs of the times, one of the
surest prophecies of a future of
prosperity foe the agriculture of
tile South. Farming based on tho
growing of liay and pasture crops
on feeding and milking of good
cows, is farming securely based
for today and tomorrow, Tho
farmer who keeps cows is kept on
his job that is good for him and
his business. Ho improves his soil
that assures his future welfare.
He receives every day a return
from his labor, that gives him
ready cash, good credit and abil>
ty to do things in the present
while planning for the future.
Get good cows, and grow pas
tures for (hem. give them good
fer»d and good care, consider care
fully the marketing of their
product, and you v ill find your
farm making money for yon. Fc r
the good cow not only pays g 0 d
dividends to her owner, but pay
them every day.
some $300 a year.
This is true, and tho writer
quoted is not attempting an in
vidious comparison. Hisinislale
is in the attempt lo class tbo
farmer as wago earner, tvlien ho
is an employer, The farm hand
may well be placed in a class with
the mechanic, but tho farm liim-
solf should bo placed with the
employer to make a fair test of
his income.
First of all lie has investment,
tho interest on which would make
a large hole in his iucome. Tne
risk in crop success, oven when
agriculturo is well repaid, is a
matter that requires consideration
His own work must be figured at
going wages as a business propo
sition, if not as high as a mana
gerial position in a business ivolv-
iug tho same capitalization.
Ho has the advantage of being
his own employer, and that is all
It is worth while, however, and in
the end tho farmer is the happiest
of tho various business classes.
But (lie attempt to show him his
returns are adequate, or in keeping
with those in other lims

present officials at the farm taking,

the salary o' the president of tho !

the farm in closer contact.
