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. NEW BERN. Will Downing, i negro, is fatally injured in battle i with Patrolman L. M. Daniels and ■| two other officers. .

William H. ess, establishes a “standing at the bank.’’ 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 the South mountain reservation by five bandits, led passing motorists to rescue them and reveal a $7,000 payroll holdup of the R. L. McEwan Brothers paperboard factory at Whippany. Three of the bandits were cap tured later at Edgewater and $6,608 of the loot recovered by Edgewater police as the three bandits jumped out of a taxicab and attempted to board a ferry for New York City. The Edgewater police reported that the bandits gave their names as Harry Canton, Rov Orton, both of South Orange, and Henrj’ Leonard, of Newark, driver of the bandit car. Miss Alicia Haggerty, A. Z. Leonard and Dewey Lockwood, all employes of the paper company, told their rescuers that while they were in the company pay car a few hundred feet from the factory, a small automobile collided with theirs. Following this was a large limou sine, out of which jumped five arm ed bandits who seized the payroll and ordered the three employes into the bandit car. They were driven to the reservation about nine miles from here, where they were tied to trees by the handiis. who then fled in their automobile over the Orange LEAKESVILLE.—Rev. W. L.

Hockaday, president of the Southeastern Express company, died at a local hospital Saturday night, I soon after 11 o'clock. Relatives and business associates were at the bedside when the end came. Mr. Hockaday came here several weeks ago from his home in Atlanta to recuperate from illness of some weeks, but suffered a relapse and was taken to the hospital Sunday night. At his bedside when the end came were Mrs. Hockaday, his daughter, Mrs. J. 11. Barrett, of Jacksonville, Fla., his sister, Mrs. K. C. Barrett, of Asheville, and J. E. Skaggs, gen eral manager of the Southeastern Express company. It was an nounced that the funeral services will be held in Asheville, but ar rangements have not yet been com pleted. iENTERED EXPRESS SERVICE AS BOY AND WORKED I P Mr. Hockaday was 64 years of age. He was born in Fayetteville, N. C., and spent his boyhood there, enter ing the service of the Southern Ex press company as an office boy in Fayetteville. For six years he held clerkships in various offices in North Carolina and was then made cashier in the Charleston, S. C., of ' fice, where he remained seven years. Winning further promotion, Mr. Hockaday -was named route agent for the lines in North Carolina, with headquarters at Wilmington, N. C., and later was transferred to Green ville, S. C., as route agent. In 1896 he was advanced to the post of as sistant superintendent in charge of all Southern railway lines north of Danville, Va., and in 1900 became su peritendent of the Florida division for the company. In 1908 he was named general su perintendent of the eastern depart- I ment of the company, and shortly thereafter was appointed general manager for the same territory. He became vice president of the com, pany in 1916. With the organization of the American Railway Express company in 1918, he was named general manager, with headquarters at Rich mond, Va., and was later transferred to Washington, D. C. When the Southeastern Express company was organized in 1921, Mr. Hockaday was elected president, and established headquarters in Atlanta, setting up the new organization and I directing its operations throughout I the southern territory. He was active in civic affairs an<l in club life in Atlanta, and took a i deep interest in religious life, being [ a. vestryman of All Saints Episcopal church. He was a member of the Rotary club, the Capital City club, the Piedmont Driving club and the Druid Hills Golf club. Special Committee To Study Purchase of Executive Mansion Preliminary steps toward the pur chase or erection of an executive mansion will be taken at a meeting of the special mansion committee of the Georgia legislature, to be held in the senate chamber on November 5, according to information received in Atlanta Friday from Senator George W.

Dykes, of Dooly county, and Ben J. Fowler, of Bibb county. The state has been without an ex ecutive mansion since the old prop erty at Peachtree and Cain streets was leased.

It is understood an effort will be made to persuade the legislative com mittee to purchase the Ansley resi dence, wnich is an imposing stone structure. Other Atlanta homes also will be offered to the committee, it is said. The committee was in structed to secure proposals for both the purchase and erection of a man sion, and submit them in a report to the next session of the legislature.

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.
