Uncle Sam intends to dfo right,

It is the duty of all citizens, in
dividually and collectively, to help
promote law enforcement all the
time.
The Georgia farmer who does
aiot produce and sell several pro-
>*tnc.ls of his own farm, fall short
his duty to himself.

The railroads handled the Geor-

$4.32 according to figures released
; today by the department of
commerce.
I in 191.7 the per capita cost was
: $2 GO. and 1914, $2.32, the _ tol id
for those years being $7.57!) 017

The total revenue receipts in
1920 were $12,821,045, or $4.41
;per capita. For the fiscal year the
j per capita excess of revenue re
ceipts over governmental costs was
therefore $0.08.
| Property and special taxes con-
jstilutc the greater part of the
revenue in a majority of slates,
jin Georgia they represented 50.3
per cent for 1920, 08.8 per cent
for 1917 and 03.0 per cent for
,1914. The increase in the amount
of property and special taxes
!collected was35.7 per cent from
11914 to 191a, and, and 38.3 per

floating debt less sinking fund
assets of Georgia is decreasing,
being 1.03 per capita for 1920,
2.14 for 1917, and 2,39 for 1914.
In noarly all states the property
subject to the general property
tax varies in the reported basis of
assessment, though in most in
stances the Jaw 'requires that
property bo assessed at full mar
ket value. For this reason the
best moasuro of cost to properly
owner, is till per da pita tax levy.

BETTER PROGENY BY CULLING
POULTRY.
That culling the poultry flock to
get. rid of all those birdsezce.pt the
vigorous, prolific layers results in
noticeable improvement, in the
progney is shown by recent in
vestigations al, tho United States
Experiment Farm. Beltsville, Md.
,Tlu> late loiters selected from a
flock of 100 Rhode Island Reds in
the fall of 1920 laid seven moro
eggs per bird during tlmir second
year than the original flock as
pullets. They were used as breed
ers the following spring, and the
first Red pullets m commence lay
ing in the fall of 1921 were found
to bo tho offspring of these late-
molding liens. Their pullets in a
period of seven months have al
ready averaged a bout two dozen
eggs per bird moro than the origr
uni liock.
But it is not alone in number of
eggs that the late mol'ter’s progny
excel, but also in the value of the
product, as the distribution was
more even, a much larger propor
tion of tho eggs being laid during
the winter months. In the last
seven mouths the daughters of the
1 ito-molters not only averaged two
dozen eggs per bird more 1 han.-the
original flock, but the value of
their product was, figuring at the
same prices, about $1.0 4 per (fil'd
move during the same period. It
is expected that this margin will
increase during the next five
months.—U. S. Department of Ag

An ordinary cow or scrub pror
duc.es only enough milk to feed 5
children a quart a day, while a
good cow yields enough to give
20 childien a quart a day. The
supercow, aud there are more and
more of them in this class each
year, gives enough milk so that a
small herd of th°m might’supply
this quaility to all the small chil
dren in a smal town-
