Entered at the Post Office in Perry, Ga., as Mail Matter of Second Class. POTATOES FOR LIVESTOCK | Georgia has set out to be a livestock state. One of the handicaps is feed, j especially corn. Georgia, like the whole south ern region, is not a corn-produc er. There is no need to hope it j will be. The average cotton belt corn yield is around 10 to 12 bushels per acre. In the corn belt it runs between 30 and 40. Now comes the result of five patient years of research by j Georgia college experiment sta- j lions and by private industry. The progressive* little city of Perry, Ga., is to be the scene of the first public demonstration of the possibilities of sweet pota toes dehydrated as a stock feed. Guests are to be there from all southeastern states from Virginia to Texas. A dehydrator has been work-; ing for 12 months at Perry. ) Built by the Cleaver-Brooks I Company, of Milwaukee, it has j successfully converted green oats, oats and vetch, peavine, ki d/,u, green corn, including stalks; lespedeza, cow pea hulls and other crops into dry feed | with a protein content compar-' able with that of alfalfa hay. Cow pea hulls, a waste pro duct, make an excellent feed. Sweet potatoes seem, however, j the real answer for cattle feed ing. On reasonably good land we can produce in Georgia the | equivalent of 70 bushels of corn I per acre. In other words, we can double the per acre output of the corn belt. Dehydrated sweet potatoes are found, after the strictest sort of analysist, to be as good as corn for feed, pos sessing all the food and fattening 1 elements. Georgia spends about $1,2i0.- 000 each year to bring in feed. By using the high quality feeds obtained from sweet potatoes which, in bulk, will produce about 201) bushels to the acre, equivalent to 70 bushels of co n when dehydrated. T h u «, hv making use of the fee ls to be had from dehydrated field crop , a real revolution may be w rked in Georgia agriculture. Perry’s Kiwanis Club, with Mayor Sam Nunn as master of ceremonies, expects to entertain some 7,000 guests on Nov. 20 and touch off a wave of enthusi asm which will make dehydrators as common as cotton gins, as.su.- ing cheap, good feed to enable Georgia to become a great stock state The Atlanta Constitution.

THE EDITOR VALUE OF IGNORANCE Patrick Dugan, illiterate Jjit en terprising, obtained a job as sexton. [ and was doing quite well in his new position, until there was a burial in his churchyard and he was asked to sign the certificate. Pat admitted reluctantly that he could not write, and was discharged. The unemployed man scratched around and found a few small car pentry jobs, and then, as the years went by, he was able to build up a large and prosperous contracting business. Wealth and position be i came his. One day Pat needed $75,000 for a new development, and went to the 1 bank to borrow it. “You can have the moneV. Mr. Dugan,” the banker told him. “Just sign these notes.” "Oi can’t write,” said Pat. “Can’t write?” exclaimed the banker. “And yet you have become one of the most wealthy and influ ential men in this community. What j would you have been today if you j could write?” “A sexton making $5O a month,” replied the clever Irishman. Good Salesmanship Flower Seller—Buy a flower, sir? Passerby—No, thanks. F.
