Well, Here They Are
Our 1924-25 Bargain Offers
AFTER much wrestling with the other publishers we are able to an
nounce what we believe to be Ihe best list of clubbing combinations
ever offered by a Southern farm newspaper, at prices which represent a dis
tinct saving to every subscriber.
When we began these negotiations, it appeared that all prices would be
much higher this year than previous.
Yet when we got down to talking about our ability to produce a big
volume of business for other papers, some of the publishers saw the light and
at the last minute made price reductions which make our clubs even more at
tractive than in the past.
It is true that we have no more A-4’s with nine papers included for only
$1.50, but when it comes to class, coupled with economy, you’ll find the real
stuff listed below.
Study them over, compare them with what other papers are offering,

OPPORTUNITY IN LIVE STOCK
POINTED OUT TO GEORGIANS
Goat Flocks, as Well as Cat
tle Herds, Seem to Offer
Wide Field for State's
Farmers
BY MARTIN V. CALVIN'
(Specialist in Agriculture and Eco
nomics.)
One thing needful in Georgia is
a deeper, broader and a more active
interest in the importance of pure-
>red live stock to
successful farm
■management. In
leed, purebred
live stock is in
| dispensable to
farming f o r
profit.
Where one has
acqu ire d the
habit of working
s y s t e matically,
the management
. of live stock on
: a farm, large or
small, is much
■ less taxing than
it is generally
believed to be.
The prerequisite
is tti.'it one shall address himself to
his daily duties with the same de
gree of wjde-a wakeness. earnestness
and attention to details common to
business men and hankers, profes
sional men and skilled mechanics,
et al.
This field invites exploitation in
this state. It is largely an unoccu
pied field, unoccupied for the reason
that farmers, especially young farm
ers. have not permitted themselves
to inquire into it with a view to
ascertaining the reasonable possi
bilities of ever-increasing success in
the work. You may call it an en
terprise if you wish. No objection
to that: for every enterprise con
templates and requires intelligent,
enthusiastic effort. The subject de
mands consideration: come, let us
reason together. J.et us see what
we must have in farm, in lot and
sheds, in pastures, in number and
character of stock, in sustenance
crops which must be produced.
Understand, it is an exceedingly
practical subject. It is one of the
most practical of enterprises by
means of which one may expect to
make a round sum of money every
month in every year.
One may begin on a compara
tively small scale, and grow into a
larger and more enthusing finan
cial frame of mind and bank ac
count. The last mentioned factor
is very important. One must iden
tity himself with a safe bank, be
come a d 1 ': os tor, and. by du*
' pected to have greater value than
year’s cotton crop, as result of ad-
i verse cotton-growing conditions.

Money in Pigs and Butter
If I were operating a dairy farm,
I would not sell milk, although a
profitab’e business. Unusually earlv
hours, day by day, are demanded,
an dthere is an almost endless lot
of hard work incident to a dairy
which sells milk only.
There is more money in butter and
pigs, and much less of the work
that is exceedingly taxing. Given,
at the outset, six purebred milch
cows—Guernsey, Jersey, Holstein,
Ayrshire or other breed one may
prefer—and six sows
and a male; six choice domestic sows
and a pure-bred Duroc-Jersey male,
one would be in position to work
gradually to the front.
The purebred pigs could be sold,
when three months old, at a satisfac
tory price for breeding purposes; the
grade pigs fattened and sol dto the
butcher. An approved separator, of
reasonable size, should be installed.
Twice a day all the whole milk, ex
cept the quantity necessary for fam
ily consumption, should be run
through the separator, the cream
set aside for butter making, and the
skim milk fed to the pigs and poul
try. A ration of wheat bran and
skim milk would be just the thing
for the pigs.
By the exercise of good judgment
and effort, a market would be locat
ed, and a contract entered into for
the disposal of the butter at a price
highly remunerative to the farmer
the year round. The exercise of
the same kind of judgment and ef
fort would create a continuing de
mand for all the pigs the owner
may be willing to sell. Prices the
best—cash.
One would find restfulness in turn
ing from the duties incident to the
dairy and the pigpens, to the fields
and planning and planting, cultivat
ing and harvesting food crops for
the cows and the swine. Os course,
the work-stock on the farm would
be thus amply provided for.
Question of Planting
The question. "What shall I plant
for my milch cows, my sows, gilts
and pigs, and my work-stock so that
1 will have done justice by them
and myself; for their efficiency de
pends largely on my efforts along
right lines?" will furnish food for
thought. To a man who can truth
fully say that farming is "to his
liking.” there can scarcely be imag
ined any duty more delightful than
that above referred to.
There is still another field wide
open to capable occupancy. Refer
ence is had to "goat culture" —rais
ing goats for marker. Pasture (part
woodland), must be provided, the
more brush the better the average
Ooats can climb and jump.
Lewis, 62, prosperous farmer, dies
after short illness at home near
here.
RALEIGH.—Co-operative Tobacco
Growers’ association wins victory
when Superior Court Judge J. L.
Horton makes permanent injunction
restraining Blue Farms, Inc., of
Moore county, from selling 1924, 1925
and .1926 crops of tobacco outside of
association. Judge rules farm, in
corporated after owner signs up
with association, is bound by con
tract so long as original owner re
tains control of corporation.
There must be an addition to the
pasture fence so as to keep the goats
fro mscaling the heights. To each
post nail a lx3-inch plank three feet
in length. Let each plank bend in
side at an angle of 45 degrees; spread
ov~r the planks, the entire length
of the fence, wire netting properly
secured. Having tried in vain to
“scale the wall.” in the face of the
projecting wire, each goat would
school himself and herself to the
food and the quietitude of the pas
ture.
The goats must have a shed in
which to rest and sleep. Have con
structed four feet above the ground
in the back part of the tightly cov
ered shed a platform of lxl2-inch
boards, close together and having a
dimension of the length of the shed
- inside measurement —by 10 feet
wide.
Select and purchase 25 choice do
mestic “nanies,” then by a pure-bred
Ang t buck. As in the case of
your dairy herd, a pure-bred male is
the herd; in this case the flock.
The kids from such cross will be
one-third larger than the usual do
mestic kids; for table, te flesh of
such kids is better far than the
choicest lamb. Goats are almost in
calculably prolific. Note that fact.
Suppose you try a goat farm. Money
in it if Reserved attention be given it.
Girls’ Screams Lead
To Bandits’ Capture
After $7,000 Holdup
WHIPPANY, N. J., Oct. 25.
Screams of a young woman and two
men who had been tied to trees in

Three of the bandits were cap

the bandit car. They were driven to

from here, where they were tied to
trees by the handiis. who then fled

FUTURE UNCERTAIN
FOB NEW DIRIGIBLE;
SPECULATION NFE
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Bldg.
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—Now
that this government has come into
possession of the giant German-built
dirigible, the ZR-3, what will it do
with her?
Nobody about the navy or war de
partment today can answer. The
question hasn’t been decided and it
is probable that in the long run I
President Coolidge himself will be
the court of final review.
Under the terms of the peace
agreement the rigid airship which
Germany has turned over to this
government cannot be used for mili
tary purposes, even though another
war came. Meanwhile, apparently
her only use and mission will be to
cruise about, stir up enthusiasm over
aeronautics and become a training
ship for navy aviators who want to
specialize in lighter-than-air vessels.
While the ZR-3 was under con
struction in Germany there was a
mild controversy among officials of
the army and navy concerning her
disposition after delivery in this
country. The army rather thought
that it ought to take charge of the
dirigible. Temporarily, howevr, the
navy has won out and has posses
sion, although the ZR-3 may be
loaned to the army from time to
for the training of army aviators in
the use of balloon craft.
It was said at the navy department
today that there has been no real
discussion as yet concerning the
navy’s use of the ZR-3. Secretary
Wilbur and the president, it was sug
gested, will get around to this ques
tion in due time, and for the pres
ent, the ZR-3 will remain in her im
mense hangar at Lakehurst, N. J.
That there will be demonstration
flights of the new dirigible over va
rious sections of the United States
is probable, but, so far, no real pro-
I gram has been worketj put and there
is no answer to the query “now that
we have got her, what are we going
to do with her.”
It has been informally suggested
about the navy department that the
ZR-3 might be used as a mail car
rier, or for the transportation of per
sons who want to get somewhere
quickly and also have' the thrill of
an aerial voyage. However, it prob
ably will be found that the cost of
the ZR-3 as a mail and parcel post
carrier would he prohibitive and it
is doubted that the government
would care to go into the business
of transporting passengers by air.
Sale of the ship to private opera
tors also has been informally sug
gested, but none of these suggestions
has as yet received any serious con
sideration by the navy department.
The bst information obtainable to
day was that the ZR-3, like, the Shen
andoah, the. latter an American-built
rigid, xvill he maintained as a train
ing ship and that numerous crews
will he given training aboard lighter
than-air vessels so that if war should
over come again these crews could
take the ah’ with dirigibles which
may subsequently he constructed.
Woman Near Death
Following Brother’s
Attack With Hammer
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 25. —Mrs.
J. M. Butler is near death in a local
hhospital as the result of an attack
made upon her with a hammer Fri
day by her brother-in-law, Vernon O.
Butler, according to police. Mrs.

ries are not serious.

former when Butler, who also lives

floor and he then attacked Mrs.
Blakeslee, police say.
Butler had made two attempts at
suicide within the past few months,
according to authorities.
Gate City Nursery
Saved From Flames by
Screams of Children
The alertness or children who dis
coverey a fire at the Gate City
nursery, in East Point, probably
saved the structure from being de
stroyed Friday afternoon.
According to officials of the insti
tution a number of children were
playing in the backyard of the
nursery when they saw flames and
smoke pouring from the building.
Their screams attracted the atten
tion of attendants, who turned in
an alarm, and the fire extinguished
after it had done damage estimated
at several hundred dollars.
The Gate City nursery is part df
the welfare organization of the Gate
City Cotton mills and the Sheltering
Arms.

FOil BIG SHORTAGE
NORWICH, Conn., Oct. 27.
George A. Finn, secretary and
treasurer of the Bankers’ Trust
company of this city, was arrested
Saturday night, charged with em
bezzlements amounting to $90,000,
and unauthorized loans to the
amount of $50,000.

began speculating in the stock mar
ket. Finn was treasurer of the Nor
wich chamber of commerce, presi
dent of the Lions club and of a
men’s Bible class in one of the

Having played the stock market
heavily, Finn, perhaps, stands with
out equal among the erring bankers
of this state. He is said to have
acknowledged having dealt with
Gabriel, Berker & Co., brokers, with
offices in the same building as the
bank.
The losses to the bank are said to
have already been met, funds hav
ing been delivered to make up for
the shortages.
Finn was a former bank examiner
and resigned that position to be
come treasurer of the Bankers Trust
company.
Previous to becoming a bank ex
aminer he was a clerk in the Green
wich Trust company at Greenwich.
The brokerage house with whom
Finn claimed to have had dealings
has branches in Torrington, Bristol
and Bridgeport. Berker, the princi
pal owner, could not be located in
Norwich Saturday night.
