This machine, which outdoes all others, has a heavy, cross cut saw driven by a powerful especially designed 4-cycle gasoline ongine. It’s a fast money maker those using it, and does more than ten men could do, either cutting down trees, sawing logs, or buzzing branches while yon rest. When not sawing, the engine can be used for other work requiring power. Beware of Imitations. The entire machine is mounted on truck wheels to make it easy to move to the trees or logs, and from cut to cut on a log without stopping the en gine. For moving on the road, the truck wheels are placed parallel with th* skids and the rig hauled straight ahead. The wheels turn on a two way eplndle. You do not have to take them oft, but can change direction of wheel travel by merely taking out a pin. The Ottawa can be fitted for saw ing down trees. It cuts level with surface of ground, thereby getting all the timber and leaving no stumps sticking up. An automatic friction clutch stops the saw in case of un due resistance. Two men can fell forty to fifty trees a day in ordinary timber. The whole outfit is compact, sim ple, durable against a lifetime of hard weaY. It sells for a low price and is fully guaranteed for reliable operation in the hands of every one who has trees to cut down and logs to work up.

This is more articularly true of beef than of ork. Our cattle industry has grown argely in the last few years, but we still have a long way to go to make our state independent in the matter of supplying the beef and dairy prod ucts we need for the maintenance of our population. Georgia should not only be self-sustaining in this direc tion. but she should raise a surplus of meat products for shipment to less favored sections. The ends to be served can be more quickly at tained through the development of the calf clubs. Rules for this under taking are given below. Familiarize yourself with this project. Get in line with this fundamental undertak !ng and be a booster of the calf club. Let’s put Georgia on the map from the standpoint of beef and dairy production. Cattle constitute an important* part of all rational farming opera tions. Georgia produced cotton profit ably for a number of years without paying much attention to animal husbandry, but inevitably the time came when soil fertility was depleted to such an extent that a change was necessary, and market demands, la bor conditions, and the advent of the -oil weevil have forced diversifica tion. At the present time the cattle in dustry of Georgia represents an ap preciable investment. According to the best available figures there are 452.000 dairy cows and 763,000 beef cattle owned in the state, and they are worth $50,210,000. In 1909 the average dairy cow in Georgia was worth $20.67. Now the average val uation given is $65.00. Ten years ago the beef cattle were worth $lO.lB ner head and they are now worth $27.30 per head. A part of this in creased value/is due to the natural enhancement of cattle values throughout the country due t» the simple working of the law of supply and demand. A part at least of this increase is due to the improvement that is being made in the quality ot cattle produced. While these figures are encouraging much needs to be done in all lines dealing with the feeding, care and management of cat tle. For instance, in Georgia the av erage annual loss from disease is given as 25 out of each 1,000 cattle, and from exposure another 25 out of every 1.000 are lost each year. This is significant when it Is contrasted with the north Atlantic states with much more rigorous climate where only 19.9 cattle out of each 1.000 are lost from disease and 3.6 from exposure. New industries will require new captains of industry. In addition to needing more cattle in Georgia more cattlemen are also needed, and these must be raised. “As a twig is bent, the tree i 3 inclined.” The prime object of the calf club, therefore, is to begin now to direct the future Georgia farmers along intelligent constructive lines of cattle produc tion. As with corn clubs, the influ ence will reach further than the actual calf club member. In evx y farming community where a we-1- bred calf is properly fed and cared for It is bound to stimulate a more constructive interest in .cattle pro duction in general. It is felt that the calf club work will have the effect of increasing the number and quality of cattle kept on farms. This will afford a profitable means of marketing much roughage that.is at the present time going to waste, it will afford a market for many feed crops that will necessarily be grown under the diversification brought about bv the presence of the bon weevil. It will have as its ultimate object the profitable c c c upatl °“ some 12.000.000 acres of land that are now idle The putting of Profitable calves on farms will do much to wards interesting the boys In staying no the farms It will teach man agement. feeding, sanitation and methods’of preventing the, more, com mon diseases of cattle. It will 8} the bovs a means of earning money during’ idle hours on the farm. To become a member of the Geor gia Calf club application should be made through the county . a^ e "t’ teacher, county school superintend ent, or by writing to the state col lege of agriculture, Athens. Ga. it will seen by the rules that any bov or girl between the ages of ani 18 years living in the state of Georgia is entitled to membership. It will be noted further that the club member does not have to be the own er of the calf. It may belong to the parents of the member or any of the member’s friends, but it should be clearly understood that the call must be in possession of the contest ant and fed and otherwise cared for by him for a minimum of 120 days before it is exhibited at the fairs. Accurate dally records of the kind and amount of feed given must be kept. He must record thq weight of the calf at the time it comes into his possession and the actual final weight at th. time the records close, and he must also have the cost of feed consumed. The winners in the county contest must also be shown either in Atlanta during the South eastern Fair ox- at the State Fair held in Macon. Second and third >rize calves will be eligible to com ete in these state contests.

UmmmmmUmUm books will be furnished by the Geor gia State College of Agriculture, Athens. Ga. Much of the educational value of the calf club work will be obtained from the contests held at the county and state fairs. Every one who joins the club should do so with the deter mination of feeding out the calf an.' winning a p.-ize with it. Competent judges will be provided at all of the contests, and it will be worth much to the boys to see the final rating: of the animals. The boy that is so fortunate as to win a first, second or third prize and then take the calf to Atlanta or Macon will have an ex perience that will never be forgot ten. At the present time the number of registered calves in the state is so limited that it would be impossible for all of the club members to secure them. It is felt that it would not be fair competition to allow one boy to compete with a valuable high-priced registered animal with a definite knowledge that most of the other boys in the county would have to feed and exhibit grade calves. Com petition is, therefore, • limited to grade or unregistered calves. In counties where the predominance ot interest is in beef cattle, calves showing as much beef blood and beef conformation as possible should be selected. Either steers or heifers will be allowed in these clubs. Where dairy calves are selected only heif ers will be allowed to compete be cause of the doubtful value of dairy bred steers. A local prize.Jist should be provided for showing'the dairy bred calves in one class and the beef bred calves in another class. The winners in the two sections would be brought against each other for cham pionship honors. The animals will be shown as jun ior calves, senior calves and junior yearlings. January Ist and Septem ber Ist will be taken as base dates from which to compute ages. A calf born after January 1, 1919, will be shown at the following fairs as a jun ior calf, while one born after Sep tember 1, 1918, and befre January 1, 1919. will be shown as a senior calf, and one born after January 1, 1918, and before September 1, 1918, will be shown as a junior yearling. In selecting calves some, regard should be given to the dates of birth, as under the age rule a calf born on the last day of December would have to show the same class as calves, born early in September, and would thus be at the appreciable disadvan tage. Whereas, the calf that was born early in January would have an ad vantage over the calves that were born late in the spring or early -in the summer. All other things be ing equal, the bigger the calf is, the better chance it will stand of win ning the prize. In the beef select calves that are straight on the top line from the withers to the setting of the tail, short in leg, and as deep as possible from the top line to the under line. Select calves that are straight along the sides, having good width. They should be short and broad in the head, short, and thick in the neck, and the neck should blend into a full shoulder. They should be unifermly covered with natural flesh or muscle over the entire car cass. Deep and round, well sprung ribs and a broad, thick loin are es sential. The hindquarters should be broad and thickly fleshed and car ried well down to the hock. Quality is a most desirable character in any calf. It is an indication of how well the calf will use the food it con sumes and the texture of meat it will produce. The evidence of qual ity is a fine, soft, silky coat, smooth flinty bone, neat light ears, and a general evidence of refinement. Mas siveness, thickness and rotundity, with finish, smoothness and refine ment are the general characters to be sought in the beef calf. Color is not a matter of importance. In selecting a dairy heifer it should be remembered that milk giv ing in the mature animal is of first consideration, and the points to be considered in this type of animal are different from those sought after in vhe beef calf. The same straight ness of top linds should be sought, but the calf instead of being rec tangular in type, should be triangu lar. Viewed from the side the dairy’ h S lfe r j should show a great depth of middle and a wedge appearance. As viewed trom in front there should be a sufficient spring in the rib to make her appear shaped like a wedge. The head should be clean cut, slight ly dished and the eyes prominent. The muzzle should be broad and strong and the nostrils well expand- T^ e :ieck should be long and thin. The withers should be. light and sharp, and the shoulders should also be light. There should be as much depth of the chest as possible and comparatively wide at the floor of the chest. The loin should be an , d e1 ’ and the P in hones high and wide apart. The thighs should be relatively long and light and curved inward from the outside and rear, they should also be cleft . betw e &n - making room for mTL attachm ent of a spacious udder. u> air u even at a young age udder with W , a / alrl 7 well developed nitAiS Wlt V, teats of ample size and ) vell a P art - Quality and re finement are more evident in the dairy type than in the beef type The r^- ir h .°, uld be fine and silky the 'n‘able airl mh thi ’J’ niellow - elastic and liable.

Overcoming Difficulties in Churning r C ” Llber ty, S. C., writes: [have a cow that gives a nice’ lot of sweet milk and makes b v tter ’ but after the tne milk is churned it nearly all goes to whey, and there is a heavy gramy substance in the bottom Her calf is three months old, and the milk has been this way for three weeks. Please tell me what causes this and if there is any remedy for it. Judging from the description con uned in your letter the milk from your cow is over ripened before it is ihurned. In other words, it is al lowed to become too sour. It may be that you are keeping it at too high a temperature. It is not un usual for a condition such as you describe to occur, when the condi tions I have mentioned above per tain. The first normal fermentation that occurs in good, pure, whole milk is hat produced by lactic acid bacteria. They give that mild ac d flavor to iilk when it is just beginning to urn. They are responsible for the ileasant and agreeable flavor of but er made from properly ripened milk. Xfter the lactic fermentation ceases, the butyric fermentation sets in. This causes a more complete coagu lation and separation of the solids of the milk from the whey or serum. Butyric fermentation may often cause a most unpleasant flavor and odor in the buttermilk. Butyric fer mentation may often be hastened by putting the buttermilk in a con tainer which has not been sterilized. You. of course, know that milk requires the most careful and expert handling in order to obviate the likelihood of its absorbing un desirable taints. There is nothing so subject to the absorption of un desirable taints as milk. I suggest that you take the containers of what ever kind and description and see that they are thoroughly scalded and exposed to the sun for some time. Do not use cloths ,for cleansing the containers, but use a stiff brush. The use of sal-soda will also help. I believe then if you will churn the milk a little earlier and keen it in a cool place, vou will find the» t-ou ble about which you are writing will disappear. * Data About Corn production M- D., Adairsville, Ga., writes: I am very much interested in corn, and would like to know which state grows the most, and how the yield in Georgia com pares with that in other states.

CATTLE FOOD FROM SAWDUST IS GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENT , , ■ Zx'Y < ' . .'Z ■ V'W BMMK* <v 7.4sfc*i% |gk X 4 z Will cattle thrive on a sawdust diet? That is the question ex perts of the Forest Products laboratory of the department of agri culture, working at Madison, Wis., say they have answered in the affirmative. This photograph shows a worker raking the “s/«dust food” from the cylinder in which it is cooked. Fifteen minutes’ cooking with diluted acid, under steam pressure, converts part of the wood into sugar and renders the rfemainder digestible.. FeeiT.ng experiments, now in progress at the Forest Products laboratory, show that cows get along well on a diet “one-quarter sawdust ra tion.” Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri are also very large producers of corn. Some of these states produce 250,- 000,000 bushels and upward in fa vorable years. Between a third and a half of the three billion bushels ot corn ordinarily grown in the United States are produced in the section indicated. The amount of our corn grown from year to year varies on account of seasonal and soil condi tions and the acreage planted, but we raise an enormous amount of corn on the aggregate in the United States. We grow several hundred million bushels annually in the south, and while the yield per acre in Georgia is not as high as in Ten nessee, Kentucky and probably Vir ginia, Georgia is still one of the leading states in the south in the matter of corn cultivation. Our crop last year under favorable 1 seasonal conditions was 68,000,0110 bushels, which was quite enough corn to feed our people and maintain our work stock satisfactorily. In some sections of Georgia since ihe advent of the corn clubs the pro duction of this cereal has increased to such an extent that corn is ex ported tc other countries or sec hons of the country where they do no s raise as much as they need. Our average yield per acre is around fif teen bushels and, under favorable conditions and management, we can double this amount this year. This will indicate to you the great future wlucn lies ahead for the boys in Georgia who make themselves mas ters of the scientific principles in volved in a better agricultural prac tice. Facts About the Use of Fertilizers R. D. C., Lexington, Ky., writes; Will you please write me where the counties using the most fertilizers. I would like to find a farm that will grow al falfa and corn and grass without using fertilizer, and where the Jane has not advanced so much In price. There is much desirable agricul tural land in all parts of Georgia, but for the purpose you have sug gested. probably the Cecil clays or Cecil clay loams should be selected. On soils of this type we have devel oped and maintained successful stands of alfalfa for many years. By liming these lands freely and us ing a liberal amount' of acid phos phate, we have been able to harvest or six crops of alfalfa each year. The amouni of hay produced has never fallen below five tons per acre and, in a few instances, has gone as high as six or six and one-half tons per acre. Lands of the type describ ed are of good fertility. They are deep, strong soils. Some of these lands will profit by under-draining. Bermuda grasses and such of the na tive grasses as are adapetd to our climatical conditions do well on these soils. Corn is also produced successfully. All of these lands will require some supplemental fertili zation, however, to give the best re sults. Fertilizers can be used in our general agricultural practice with profit and success if they are ra tionally selected and applied intelli gently. Bands are relatively high in this state, but are not bringing a higher price than is justified by their ca pacity for the production of diversi fied crops. Out from the towns and cities some distance lands can be bought at a more reasonable figure than elsewhere. There is no more healthful section of the states than that of the great Piedmont plateau, which runs entirely across the north ern half of the state of Georgia. There, are many valuable lands open for development in south and south v\rst Georgia as well. This section Is especially adapted to hog raising on account of the fine variety of crops which can be produced for grazing down by hogs. The sandy lanes are naturally not easily in jured by being grazed after heavy rains as would be true in the case oi the c’ay soils of north Georgia. The Agricultural Value of Goats P. E. S.. Adairsville, Ga., writes: Are goats profitable on a farm and what breed would you recommend? Will hog wire and barbed wire on top make a fence that will hold them? There is no reason why goats should not be raised successfully in your part of Georgia. These animals will do well on relatively poor land where probably other classes of stock could not subsist at all. Goats are invaluable in helping to clear out brushy pieces of land which are too rough and broken maybe for cul tivation, but which the owner may desire to develop into a permanent pasture. ’ We have kept some goats on the college farm and never had any spe cial trouble in confining them. They were of the common variety met with more or less extensively throughout the state. Angora goats have not proven any more desirable as meat producers, but the mohair would have proven much more val uable than the prices obtained for common goods. I would be disposed, if situated as you are, to go into the raising of the Angora type. It will cost you more probably to se cure the foundation stock, but the value of the mohar of this class of goats will justify the greater initial cost involved in purchasing the nec essary foundation stock. In our experience goats did not prove as prolific as we expected, nor the kids as healthy as we had sup posed. We found our goats capable of defending themselves from dogs only in an indifferent manner. This also was a surprise to us. You should not conclude from this that they dd not do fairly well or that we would not recommend their main tenance on the average farm. Pos sibly we had our idea relative to this matter too far in advance of what is reasonable to ex»ect.

This scampering little rodent in festing the foot-hills of the west ern states by the billion, and for years the bane of farmer and or chardist, is accused by the health authorities of being one of the big gest menaces to national health. In 'a report before the recent health convention here it was point ed out that the Asiatic rat had in fected the ground squirrels with bu bonic plague germ, and that an other outureak of the plague might come as easily through these little pests as from the detested wharf rats. The contact between the Asiatic rats and the ground squirrels is supposed to have taken |>’ac® at Port Costa in the straits some 20 miles up San Francisco Bay in 1900, from cargo ships unloading from the Orient. The first case of bubonic plague was brought here from Hon olulu that year. Since then there have been some 160 cases and U7 deaths. There are no eases this year. To effectively make war on the ground squirrels, there is a bill be fore congress asking for an appro priation of $1,000,000 to start the of fensive. Before the campaign is fin ished it is likely that $5,000,000 will be asked. Valuable Cattle Eat Soda and Die MOULTRIE, Ga. Sept. 30.—Soon after eating nitrate of soda, twenty six head of Angus-Aberdeen cattle owned- by Joe J. Battle, Moultrie livestock man, died Tuesday. The «'e were valued at more than so.ooo. Mr. Battle said that he did not know that nitrate of soda was poisonous, but said that this fact must have been known to the chem ists employed by the manufacturers and insisted that it should have been stated on the sacks. “Nitrate of soda has a salty taste and naturally livestock will’lick it" Mr. Battle declared. He intimated that a damage suit would be brought against the manufacturers of the “ni trate. The cows which died were P art Mr - Battle’s famous Angus- Aberdeen herd, in which some of the finest beef cattle in the south are to be found. Rockdale Farmers Organizing Bureau CONYERS. Ga., Sept. 29.—The farmers of Rockdale county are or ganizing a county farm bureau. A farm-tofarm membership drive will be on all the week. The organizers will be aided in the work by the Rockdale farmers. Ful ly ”5 per cent of the farmers in this county will be members of the farm bureau by the end of the week, it is expected and the others will come in shortly, it is said. J. G. Oliver will be present Thurs day night to aid the farmers to or ganize a community council in th? Honey Creekd istrict The other districts will be organized very soon. Grading Potatoss Grading potatoes for market in creases the possibilities for sales and raises the price received. Keep the culls on the farm and save the cost of hauling. meat, which proved to be of fine quality and difficult to distinguish from lamb or mutton. Under circum stances such as we have described, I would not hesitate to purchase a few goats.

Secretary of Agriculture Sums'Up Cotton Situation In Encouraging Letta ‘‘lt is absolutely essential to the continued production of American cotton that the cotton farmer re ceive a price for his cotton which will meet his legitimate expenses and return a reasonable profit,” de clared Edwin T. Meredith, secretary of agriculture, in a recent letter to E. S. Candler, of Corinth. Miss., re plying to an inquiry concerning the decline in cotton prices. The secre tary analyzed the present cotton sit uation ai.d the probable effect, the new crop would have i pin prices. It is the general belief. Secretary Meredith said, that the existing sur plus in the United States of Ameri can-grown cotton is largely composed of very low grades which have been accumulated from several crops and for which there has been almost no market. He expressed tiie belief that nearly 3,000,000 bales surplus of old crop American cotton would be on hand throughout the world on Oc tober 1. The new crop is estimated at about 12.750.000 bales. The Secretary’s Better as follows: Secretary Meredith’s letter was as “Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of August 23, in which you direct my attention to the decline in the price of cotton and ask me to write you my views regarding the existing conditions. » “Briefly stated, the situation in the cotton market may be analyzed as follows: The world's consumption of American cotton, exclusive of lin ters, during the past year has been more than 12,000,000 bales, or, in round figures, 1,000.000 bales per month. The supply of American cot ton in the United States at the end of tb.e cotton season, on July 31 last, was, in round numbers, about 3,250,- 000 bales, excluding linters, and was estimated for the entire world at about 5,000,000 bales or about five months’ supply if all of this surplus were used at the rate of 1,000,000 bales per month. As it is usually around the first of October before new cotton becomes available at the mills for consumption, it will be seen that two months of the new crop year must elapse and at the rate for the past year 2,000,000 bales of t’’< surplus will be consumed before this year’s crop reaches the mill. Ac cordingly, there will probably be nearly 3,000,000 bales surplus of old-crop American cotton on hand throughout the world on October 1, next. . ... “In addition to this surplus, the cotton grown this year will be com ing on the mnvket. The prospect for the new crop, according to the latest estimate of the bureau of crop estinmates, is about twelve and three quarters million bales. It appears, therefore, that on this basis the sup ply of American cotton for this year will be about 15,750,000 bales, where as the world’s consumption of Amer ican cotton, using last year’s con sumption as a basis, will probably not exceed 13,000,000 bales. “One who considers only the fore going statistics may, however, be misled as to the true market situa tion. It is the general belief that the existing surplus in the United States of American-grown cotton is largely composed of very low grades which have been accumulated from several crops and for which there has been almost no market. Even if the mills should to some extent turn to this low-grade cotton for a sourse of supply, as we are informed some of them are doing, the quantity of foods produced therefrom will be less than from the higher grades, because of the greater percentage of waste in spinning, so that the presence of a surplus of a certain number of mil lion bales of low-grade cotton does not mean as much in terms oi goods ns if that sudplus were composed ot high-grade cotton. While ff ,r * ne time being the existence of this sur plus exercises a depressing effect upon the whole market, the experts of the bureau of markets suggest that there is likely to be a good de mand for new-crop cotton when it has begun to move because of the ability of purchasers to get the high er grades, which the present surplus does not contain. “While in the case of some coun tries the consumption of American cotton has returned to ab ” u * war normal. Germany and Austria In particular have fallen far short of taking as much as they did prior to the war. Therefore, in this direction I there would seem to be the greatest possibility for increasing the taking, of American cotton over those of last year. Germany especially as fo-merlv a large consumer of low -’rede cotton and it is generally be lieved that the curtailment of Ger mnn takings of American cotton is resnonsib 1 © for the Gon of low grades in the stocks in FYii*? pnY ,r, + rv. - v A r: U r Price TTocezrary “It is absolutely essential to the continued production of AmcTican cotton that the cotton farmer t ceive a price for his cotton whlcl will meet his legitimate exnenses an return a reasonable profit. course, the production of cotton should be placed upon tne most economical basis in order that it may meet foreign competition and justiD the nrice necessary to return a ves sonab’e profit to the farmer. When ever the market price of cotton re cedes to a point dangerously close to the cost of production, or f'-lls be low that cost, it of course becomes increasingly important for cotton growers to produce at home, so f° as possib’e the food and feed crons such as corn. oats, hay, legumes, an live stock, which the maintenance o their operation requires. As you know, this is in fact the pracGc'- which this department Ims steadir advocated in recent years as the onl” safe foundation for southern ag-I culture. Diversified cropping is es sential to economical production o cotton and much safer than singic crop agriculture of any cha’’ac‘e". “Os course, in view of the world wide consumption of American cot ton there are factors which ente into the determination of price quo tations over which no control ca be exercised. For examnle, recent!’’ there came a report of an unexpected financial panic in Japan, rumors o the outbreak anew of general V’ in Europe, curtailment of qu”Char by buyers of manufactured nroduc and increased estimates of this yea yield of cotton which plawed t 1 part in fluctuations in the co*' market regardless of actual curre movement. The insufficiency timely, authentic information on r phases of the world’s cotton ind“ try makes it difficult even to < cuss the situaybn satisfactorily, r consequently attempts to devise rr ediea are o* Timely Marketing Important “Producers of cotton should hnvave”. t , T't "IthOUgh I bulk of the crop usually comes t market in four or five of the f; and winter months, the consumptio of cotton extends over a period o twelve months. On account ot the lack of suitable warehouses, the re eeipts of which would be easil. negotiable, the producers have no. been able to finance the marketing of their produce in orderly fashion according to the needs_ of consump tion. To remedy this situation there must be adequate facilities available for storing the crop and there must be means for financing the producers until the cotton is sold. One of the most important ways of obtaining these advantages for the producers is through proper ly organized and directed co-opera tive effort which involves unity of action among producers similarly situated. By co-operation producers may make their offerings more at tractive to buyers by improving the handling of their cotton, grading it properly, and having it stored and adequately protected in suitable warehouses. In these and other ways and by informing themselves as to .the true market conditions, producers may secure advantages which will enable them to deal on a footing of equality with the buyers of their cotton. This department is already demonstrating to farmers’ associations the advantages of pro ducing better varieties, of more care in handling, of correct grading, and of the use of proper marketing methods. At the same time this de partment maintains a cotton-quota tion service for purpose of giving farmers market information upon which thay can rely. In addition, under the United States warehouse act, this department is giving to producers the assurance of safe storage facilities for their cotton and making it possible for them to obtain warehouse receipts which should be readily and widely negoti able as security for loans. In these and other ways this department is endeavoring to aid southern cotton producers to market their cotton more advantageously than hereto fore. It is thought that, through co operation they may obtain greater benefits from these activities than if they continue .to operate individ ually. “I may add that the question of better banking facilities for han dling this year’s crop was teken up recently with Governor Harding, of the Federal Reserve Board, and for your information copies of the cor respondence are inclosed. “If there is any further informa tion that this department can fur nish you, I shall appreciate it if you will let me know.” Will Make Plans to Market Peanut Crop MOULTRIE, Ga., Sept. 29.—Plans for marketing this year’s pea nut crop, which is said to be one of the largest ever produced in this secti.on, will be discussed at a meet ing which is to be held at the court house here Thursday morning. W. W Webb, president of the South Georgia Peanut Growers’ association ,1s among those on the program. Mr. Webb, with other members of the association, has been studying the situation for several weeks, and it is believed that a plan has been worked out which will result in the saving of thousands of dollars to the pea nut growers. The market has not yet opened, but the indications have been such as to lead many interested to believe the nrice would be around SIOO a ton. Growers insist that there is but lit tle profit in the crop at that price and many have declared that thev would turn tUeir hogs in the fie’ds unless a price of at least $125 a ton ca” be obtained. Plans for holding cotton bonded n’arehonses will al"n be discussed at the meeting here Thursday. Farm ers from all over this section are ex pected tn be present. Standardize! One of the first essentials to sat isfactory marketing arrangements is standardized products. Cans, jars, and other containers should be uni form in pack, appearance, quality, and condition. Every container which is fully up to the standard represented by the label or brand will then be an advertisement in it self and often a guaranty to further purchases.
