Qarroll County Egg-
Production
Report to Farm Bureau Department at
\ Published, in Carroll County Jimfv
-As per your request, I herewith give
yyi information concerning the egg and
poultry situation in this part of the
county*
Mr. W. H- Kinney is the pioneer in
the poultry industry of this section^ and
.up to two years ago he was alone in the
production of high class infertile eggs
for the market- Lasf year, however, H-
H x Boyd entered the business as the
second man to produce eggs in a com
mercial way. This year quite a number
havc\ entered. in and on August 15’h
last' “Th e Kinney Quality Egg Circle”
was formed with Mrs. W.H. Kinney,
President and C.F. Richards, Secretary,
and a membership of thirteen to start
with, which has since increased to six
teen.
When the circle was. formed, the
price was 20 cents per dozen for eggs
as they ar e generally produced on the
average farm- Mr. Boyd not having
eggs enough to carry to market was
selling here at a premium of eight cents
per dozen or twenty-eight cents.’ Mr.
Kinney was hauling his to Atlanta and
receiving thirty-five cents, wholesale-
A committee was appointed to inves
tigate the Atlanta market but no satis*
factory arrahgements could li e made, 90
we began to look for other markets, and
the fact that the members who hav e eggs
for the market now in case lots are re
ceiving fifty-eight cca:s yard run for
eggs, that is pullet and stanard9, is
making them smile, and one man said
to me a few days ago: “I can pay some
of my debts now.” Another one of our
members with less than a thousand pul
lets shipped four cases of eggs last
Monday and four cases more to-day; for
which h e will receive a total of $139.20
Another member who is shipping eggs,
with only a small per cent of his pullets
laying, remarked to me yesterday that
his eggs were paying the entire foo-l
bill and clearing for him about $4.00
per day-
From the foregoing facts it seems that
awnty"-woidd be far better off if more
more of us were in the poultry business.
Permit me to say, however, that not
every man who goes jnto the chicken
business off hand, will succeed; but any
man who will get the proper information
and devote his time and attention to the
business may succeed. Eternal vigilencc
together with the right information and
a bountiful supply of energy is the price
•f success-
Here is where the work of the voca
tional teacher comes in.; The Smith-
Hughes Taw provides that any man who
ku entered upon or is preparing to en
ter upon ' a vocation may receive the
benefit of this instruction.
Egg and poultry production should
appeal to more Carroll county people-
The demand is great our state con*
fumes $40,000,000.00 worth of poultry
products each year and imports half of
this amount or $20,000,000.00 worth-
The market to which our circle is
•hipping is asking for all the eggs we
can ship of the class we ar p producing
—Very sincerely Yours, C- F. Richards
Teacher of Vocational Agriculture.
WEEVILS IN PEAS
“PLEASE tell me how to destroy the
bugs in my seed peas ”
The bugs are doubtless weevils. The
eggs are laid in the gre-m peas and hatch
but in storage and cat holes in the peas.
I have told perhaps a hundred times ho,v
td destroy the living weevils; but if the
peas ar e not in too great quantity, you
can pack them in air-slaked lime, and
this will prevent the eggs from hatching-
With living weevils in the peas, put them
In box or boxes that can be closed up,
get carbon disulphide and pour in a pan
and set the pan on top the peas and
close up- The fumes will sink through
the peas and kill all living insects. When
all has evaporated, open up and air. One
pint will do for 100 bushels. No damage
will b c done* to the peas, but more may
hatch out and the treatment must be re
peated- Keep all fire away and do n*t
• carry th e chemical into the. house where
• there Is fire, for the fumes will explode
quicker than gasoline-—The Progressive-

A GIANT DEER *
* *
(By Brownlee Frix)
COPYRIGHT, 1922. "b

Long before prehistoric man invented
an alphabet and began to record his
deeds and his thoughts he had subdued
various wild animals. He had domesti
cated the Cow, the sheep, the goat, the
hog, besides other animals and fowls.
But just before he completed his jot)
his attention was cilled to other mat
ters, and the vast majority of us, his
descendants of the Twentieth Century,
have only a vague and hazy idea of
what venison tastes like-
Over in Africa the largest deer on
earth runs wild- Any encyclopedia will
tell yoq that the common eland ranges
in weight from 1,000 to 1,400 pounds
and that the giat\t eland is much larger.
These magnificent animals, six feet high,
e as graceful as a pretty girl.
In Mr. Rossevelt’s book, ‘‘African
Game Trails.” he says: “The eland is
th e largest of all horned creatures that
are called antelope, being quite as
heavy as a fattened-ox- The herd I
approached consisted of a dozen indi-
iduals, two of them being huge bulls,
their coats having turned a slaty blue,
their great dewlaps hanging do,/11 and
the legs looking almost too small for
the massive bodies- .... The eland
are beautiful creatures and ought to be
domesticated. As I crept toward then.
I was struck by their limpness to great
clean, handsome cattle They
wer c grazing or jesting. just as it
they were Jerseys in a field *t home.
On other pages, Mr. Roosevelt says:
‘A young eland bull, quite as tame as
a domestic cow, was picketed now here,
now there about us- Horne was break-
ng it to drive in a cart-.... Tljere
ire eland on the high downs not far
from Meru, apparently as much at home
n th e wet, cold climate as on the hot
plains Eland are no faster than
range cattle. Twice I rounded up a
herd—just as once in the Yellowstone
Park I-rounded up a herd of vfrapiti for
John BuBTroughs to look at-and three
times I pit out qf... the herd a big ani
mal, which, however, in each case, prov
ed tu be a cow. There were no big
bulls^ only cows and young stock, but
1 enjoyed the gallop.
When Mr. Soosevelt and his son,
Kcrmit, were on that African burning
trip they killed and ate many animals.
One day they had elephant’s snout soup
and roasted elephant’s heart for dinner
Another day they had scrambled croco
dile eggs for breakfast- Mr. Roosevelt
did not have much praise for stewed
hippopotamus, ,roast rhinocerous, or
fried zebra. He absolutely refused to
taste hyena, but went into rhapsodies
over eland steak. That is said to .ie so
delicious as to cause a hungry boy to
hit his daddy- ,
Someone has said that the wildest
animal ever found in Africa was (he
civilized white man. That is doubtless
tiue- Lions, tigers and other big cats
seldom attack a man because the plains
are literally covered with zebras, wilde-
beasts and hartebeests, A lion never
kills for pleasure, only to appease iiis
hunger or in self-defense. About every
four days a lion kills one of his favorite
animals, the zebra- He lies in tall
grass in wait for his prey and jumps
with all fours on its back, breaking its
neck bone with his powerful jaws. Mr-
Roosevelt said he had seen as many as
a thousand zebras, interspersed with
wildebeests, standing watching them
from two to four hundred yards away.
Were it not for these animals, man
could not live in Africa on account of
lions and tigers.
One day a Dutch settler in South
Africa was going across the plains to
see his neighbor seven or eight miles
away- He did *not have a gun and was
walking through rather tall grass- Look
ing back he saw three lions sneaking
up behind him. Knowing that if he
tan they would kill him. he turned on
them and looked as fearlessly ?s he
could, then walked on toward ground
where the grass was not, so high. Thp
lionsMollowed him and would come up
even with him on either side, but some
distance away. At last he reached land
where the grass was short .and the
lions would not come out after him.
But Eland is the suhiect
If I had plenty of money I would buy
all the eland heifers and^ bull calves
from tb e Dutch and English settlers Jri
South Africa, available- Suppose that i♦
Douglasville College
Reunion
——. \ /
The Douglasville College ' Reunion
was a happy gathering of the teachers
students and Board members of the
years of 1896 to 1901, during the ad

Guests began arriving on Friday for
the great reunion that took place on
Saturday and; Sunday, 11-12, iat the
Douglasville High School, which stapds
almost on the same ground where the
old College sthod.

James, Miss Pearl Price and Mr- Wis-
ley Causey were appointed secretaries-
This* meeting; was informal—our ac
quaintances were renewed.
At 12:30 the people of Douglasville
served a delicious luncheon from the
domestic science room of the school
building. After which an automobile
ride was enjoyed by the guests, viewing
the growth and progress of our town
during the years since these people at
tended college here-
The convention was called to order
at the Baptist church at 2:30, Clifford
James presiding- Short talks relating
the experiences of those present was
called for. Indeed this was a most
heart touching meeting. Before it was
- each on* fek thankful that his
lot had been cast with an institution
that has produced this type of noble
men and Women* Greetings by tele
grams and letters were read from absent
Ones-
Following this meeting the present
officials of the Douglasville High School
gave a reception to the visitors and old
friends of Dr. Branham. Th e girls of
the eleventh grade served punch and
sandwiches prepared by the members of
the domestic science class- The school
building was beautifully decorated fflt-
this event and it was largely attended-

L. S. Lambert, County Supt..
Some time ago we asked the Sunday
School workers of Douglas county tu
giv e us a report as to the work of their
respective schools- Only two reporcs
were we able to get from these people,
except from the .one from m y school.
.^Lithia Springs and Bright Star were
thfc two that reported. It is not our
purpose to hurt no one, only to show
wnat we people are doing in this county
and try get interest aroused that we
mtght help each other- Now here are
some figures from three churches:
Lithia Springs:—

tDid you notice what twenty-five
aithfui workers at Lithia Springs h td-
Vtoinplished? We do not know haw
rfony church members are laboring at
Blight slar. The reporter stated that
rf^ist of that school was composed of
children, I will not sty much about
my home school, only that we have a
bifiid of noble workers and the success
the work is wholly due to their labor
lo| labor for the cause of the Master.
iAfter studying these three, reports,
afd I am sure they are not the best in
the county, is it worth while to labor
in this cause? Is our time at Suntla,
School mis-spent? It is true we are-
often discouraged when we go out and
flfid things not as we expected. ,
I heard one of our School Superenten-
dents say some time ago that he did"
hot have church members enough for
teachers in his school- What discourage-
fitenti Something wrong when a tiling
like that occurs. A good progressive
/'lurch and not enough members go to
the classes.
I would like to know how many
church members in DougiaB County and
lmw many arc at work in the Sunday
ochool work. There is no greater work
in the world than to do something to
help the children of this day. Their
opportunities are wondedfu! and temp
tations ar e all along the journey of
life, and how needful it is that we be
the Bign post for good as they come our
way and point them to the way of
Eternal life.
How about each School In Dougias
County puting on a reading coarse. We
have tried this since rst. of September,
t»2i, and hav e read something like 70,-
000 chapters in that time.
There can be no harm done in this if
no good. We have read as high as
3000 chapters per week- This was ac
complished when classes were completing
for honors- We are now reading from
two to three hundred per week. Yon
can keep this record as easy as you can
other work of your school-
Please send to Miss Nell King at the
Douglasville Bank an good word from
your school, she will have it published
or place it in my hands.
Lets all attend the 2nd District Con
vention at Mt. Zion the first Sunday in
December. Bros. Smith and Eidson will
give you a good time-

The Good Will election for the Ameri

which will send a large number of
Georgia girls and women to France next
summer is being carried to all the towns
of Georgia thru the candi iacv of Miss
Emily Woodward, Editor of the Vienna
News, Vienna, Ga., and Vice-President
of the Georgia Press Association.
Miss Woodward is being sponsored
by the Sloan Piper Co- of Adanto
The Georgia Press Association heartily-
endorses Miss Woodward's nomination
by the Sloan Paper Co-, and each local
editor is asked to accept appointment on
her campaign committee to secure votes
in their communities to insure her elcc*-
Almost all of the candidates thirty-
two in number, are from the city of
Atlanta; but Miss Woodward will se*-
cure her votes from the state at large }
and because of the wide appeal of her
campaign it i9 expected that she will
have no difficulty in being elected, in
spite of the great following of a large
number of the candidates who hav e been
entered from Atlanta.
Miss Woodwards Atlanta headquart
ers arc located in the offices of the Sloan
Paper Co. , 18 Central Ave., and this
company is acting as her campaign man
ager in Atlanta.
The Good Will Elections have as
their aim the raising of funds to sup
port the work of the American com
mittee in the devastated regions of
France. Miss Anne Morgan daughter
of the late J. Pierpont Morgan, i s the
activ e direetbr of this work and in the
past five years, she has been able to
accomplish a tremendous amount ot
good for the suffering and, poverty-
stricken farmers and small village resi
dents who lost all their possessions in
thc war ' ' !.1i :• <f*Q
In order to cast a vote for Miss Wood
ward, it is necessary to contribute ten
cents to the American committee. it
a dollar is donated, Miss Woodward re
ceives ten votes; ten dollars counts as
a hundred votes and so on- I, is ex
pected that fully fifty thousand dolls-.

Near East Reieif
For the third tim e I have accepted
the chairmanship of the Near East Reieif
organization for Douglas County- This
winter the Red Cross is co-operating
with above organization in this needy
work- Some of our denomination are
handling funds collected by them for
this same purpose.
The situation in Armenia is appalling.
There are two hundred thousand orphans
gathered from the massacres of the
world war- These are to be fed and
clothed continously. They are th e hope
of preserving this splendid but perse
cuted people- The recent horrors per
petrated by the Turks in and around
Smyrna have aggravated the situation
and largely increased the immediate
needs of these, people.
America can and must help if this
starving nation is to be fed. You' an?f
I can do something, it may be little but
it will ihelp-
Let every school and every church
in Douglas county present this matter
and take an offering. If desired I shall
be glad to give direstion to ypur offer*
ing and give proper credit for same.
If you remit funds, other than through
my hands, please report to me.
If I can aid you in any may in this
matter do not hesitate to call upon me.
An offering will be taken at the
Douglasville Methodist church next
Sunday evening, Nov- 26th.
Hear the voice of Christ the final
Judge, saying to those on his right: “I
was hungry and you fed me.” Come
you blessed of my Father.”

LEAVE YOUR COTTON THICK
This year, in an actual test, cotton
not chopped, but left just as it came up,
is making just about twice as much as
chopped cotton right alongside. It is
a proved fact that we are losing, on an
average, from 100 to 200 pounds per
acre of seed cotton all over th e Cotton
Belt because we space our cotton ’ en
tirely too far apart. Under ordinary
field conditions cotton must be chopped
through or blocked^ in order to get the
grassf out; but th*> aim should be to $><?•.
th e grass ftnd *Jetfv&*aTI : the cotton we
can. In practice, I find it best to leave
two to five stalks in a place, with these
bunches of cotton eight to twelve
inches apart, in threefoot rows Tilt
