1! THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. ONLY FOUR DAYS LEFT TO ENTER GEORGIAN'S GREAT PONY CONTEST Four day*' remain in which contestants can be nominated for The Georgian and The American pony outfit contest. Several boys and girls arc believed to be preparing to enter at the last hour possible, and with a considerable number of votes pledged, believing there will be some ad vantage in taking the leaders by surprise. This, though. iH not likely to avail them much. Probably they be lieve the leaders are napping, but nothing could be further from the truth Heside*’, late entrants are losing the value of vote coupons more than fit- teen days old. Those already in the race remain closely bunched. Miss Fannie Mae Took so far has been the greatest vote producer. She had 59.960 votes Tuesday, while Florence Greenoe in her district hns* polled 40,620. Several other contestants hav< passed the 40.000 mark. George Roy- ser. in District 1, has 41,620; Miss Robert Harbour, in District 2. 48.055. Ross Greer and Mose Brodkin. in the (’itv Carriers' and Newsboys' race, are running neck and neck with 42,145 and 41.700, respectively. Another close contest, though the vote totals arc not w large, Is the contest for school boys and girls outside Georgia, where Lena Mae Smith. Knoxville, Tenn. has 16,715 votes, and Fain E Webb, Jr. 16.05".

New York and New Jersey. Elsewhere east of the .Mississippi River the weath er will lie fair to-night ami Wednes day. with higher temperatures Wed nesday throughout the upper Lake and Western lower Lake regions and the Ohio Valley. General Forecast. Following is the general forecast until 7 p. m. Wednesday: Georgia—Generally fair to-night and Wednesday slightly cooler to-night in north and central portions Virginia—Showers to-night; Wednes day cloudy. North Carolina- Showers to-night and Wednesday South Carolina -Showers to-night or Wednesday; slightly cooler tonight. Florida—Generally fair to-night and Wednesday. Alabama—Fair to-night; cooler in north and central portions: Wednesday fair, warmer In north portion. Mississippi Fair to-night and Wed nesday: slightly warmer Wednesday in the interior. Tennessee -Fair to-night; Wednesday fair, warmer. Louisiana- Fair to-night and Wed nesday. Texas—Fair to-night and Wednesday firm and under persistent buying from the large spot interests shorts covered considerable short lines. McFadden. Riordan and Parrott led the buying movement. Riordan, was credited with purchasing about 12,000 to 15.000 bales of October and December, which was said to bo for Wall Street. The charac ter of the buying chased shorts to cov er. Offerings were very light ami scat tered. It is believed by many * that there is still an existing short interest in the market. October ami December displayed ex traordinary firmness. October advanced 8 points and December 9 over the ini tial level. Other positions followed the advance moderately, advancing 3 to 7 points. The advance came in the face of ex tremely bearish advices from all parts of the belt, as well as from abroad. A cable said: “The market feels the influence of Con tinental buying, spinners well stocked, and. notwithstanding a fair Manchester business wc expect a small spot mar ket in Liverpool for the present. Think market will be lower if crop accounts continue favorable.' 1 Weather developments overnight were of the most favorable character. No rains fell of consequence. The map promises very favorable weather over night; fair an«l warmer in the western and central States*, cloudy and probably showers in tHe Carolinas and East Ten nessee warmer.

The acreage is slightly increased and the stands in general are poor. Rain was badly needed, but showers have been general recently. Some replanting in Tennessee with an increase in the acre age. In North Carolina the season is about two weeks late; prospects are much brighter since the rains. South Carolina condition may fall below last year, when it was 79. Tennessee con dition shows an increase of nearly ten points over last year, when it was 73.5. * * * It is believed that a good deal of short cotton has been covered during the past few days and a lower market is predicted, based on favorable weather conditions and reports w'hich are com ing in. Around the close yesterday Rior dan bought about 10,000 hales of Octo ber and December. McFadden brokers also bought. However, they sold old crop positions. * * * Liverpool cables: “American mid dling fair 7.24d: good middling 6.90d; middling 6.70d; low middling 6.5tfd; good ordinary 0.82d: ordinary 5.88d. ’ Dallas w’ires: “Texas Panhandle cloudy, rest clear: hot.

Shows fair and warmer in western portion of the Atlantics. Cloudy and warm in the Atlantics and Ten nessee. No rain except in Tennessee and parts of North Carolina. w'here it wjll he beneficial. The New Orleans Times-Democrat says,- “Favorable crop reports came from many quarters, and the cotton market declined. Of course, a w'ave of bearish sentiment passed over the rings and low-price people discussed the out look for declines in more or less confi dent tones. Ten cents for new crops wms talked of as a sure thing, nine cents as a probability, eight cents as likely, and. according to one lone bear, seven cents as a possibility. All the while the bull faction kept quiet and permit- 10001 ted the spell of depression to run its 1 a,>o I course. At the close underlying strength '"j seemed to develop, and students of the j market expressed the belief that near 1000 future fluctuations would range within 1000 20 points. 10001 “The weather over Sunday was very favorable, temperatures were higher and. on the fare of things, the crop seemed to be in a fair way to make seasonable progress. The man on the fence, while admitting the presence of much more favorable clUnatic conditions, was in clined to believe that the flood of favor able crop advices, coming right at the close of the period on which the Gov ernment’s condition bulletin on June 2 is to be based, traces some of its in spiration to a possible need of an offset to any relatively low condition that might have been reported on May 25 from the less favoiable sections.” 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 16650 131«5 6000 Weld rop 84 makes the condition of thf Wall Street covered through Riordan. . Riordan was also a big buyer of the 10,1 new crop positions for the Pell interests. 1015; • • * Memphis wires: “Generally fair weather wfil prevail in the cott< n States except in the extreme northeastern sec tions. where showers arc- likely. Good weather in the central belt will be quickly followed by warmer* No rain of cons* o tepee has fallen Favorable • • ■ a P-" Plymouth Rocks They Are as Beautiful as They Are Useful and Profitable—Are Good as They Look. In our estimation there are no better chickens than the White Plymouth Rocks. When carefully bred and rightly handled they are as beautiful an they are useful and prof itable. With their glossy white plumage, red comb, wattles and earlobes, and yellow legs, they look fine enough to eat, and they are just as good as they look. I am not raising*them and 1 have* none to sell, but 1 know what I am talking about, for 1 have handled them in years past and speak from experience. If you want to produce good ones, however, you must be mighty care ful to breed from first class stock. If you are just starting in the business you can not use too much care to pro duce a start of the very choicest breeders. Then let your selections each year be the very best. Cull out the poor ones, both as to shape and color. Keep nothing that does not show a robust constitution, the ones with the broad breasts and backs, heavy thighs, nice and taper ing. arched necks, with a low car ried tail. Such a specimen is not only good looking in shape, but con tains stamina worth considering. Weed out those with the slim, straight necks, long and narrow or roached back's; legs 100 long, stand ing too close together at the knees; tail slim and carried too high, form ing an angle with the back. These points of defect are very often seen, and upon w hat some call good speci mens. Of course, they are rarely all seen upon the same fowl, but fre quently two or more are. High Type Utility Fowl. When you have tin very best pos sible shape in a White Rock for the show room you have a utility fowl of the very highest type. There is no doubt about that. As to color, the Standard says pure white throughout, web tjuill and all. You see there are no qualifications. Simply white. Any departure from this is defective, such as creaminess, brass and the like, brass simply being the creaminess intensified into a positive yellow, as seen upon poor specimens of males two years old or older. This is one of the things we have to fight against in our endeavors for the best. Gray or blaek specks are quite com mon and are often distributed through the plumage in pin head sizes, and are defective according to size and number and the intensity of color. Positive black spots of any kind will disqualify. A good, pure, white plumage throughout, free from any creamy tinge, even though it contains a few minute specks, is much more desirable in every way than *one that has a tendency to be creamy. Do not throw' that kind away, for it is a hard matter to get a pure white one. The ear lobes should be bright red. as in all the different varieties of rocks, any per manent, or what might be called enameled white, disqualifies. Look out for this, as it only takes a mighty few of the right kind of black specks to throw them out. What the Stan dard terms positive white, in treat ing with w’hite in specimens demand ing red lobes, is a white that seems coated right on to the surface, and not a changeable white that shows white one minute and reddens the next. Single Comb. The comb upon both the male and female should be single and straight upon the head, not soft enough to turn to one side or the other or to wrinkle in its course from where it starts at the base of the head to the blade at the rear. A comb of five points is the one desired, although a four-point one w r ould not be so very objectionable in the eyes of the best breeders. Look out for feathers, stubs or down on the shanks, which should be clean and free from any appearance of feathers. One can soon learn to detect the greater de fects and the little ones will come to light later on in the game. If you get a strictly first class White Rock for the fancy man or the show room, you will have a good one to breed broilers or roasters from and a good one for laying, too, for that matter. You know it used to be a great idea to those that knew nothing about the business that a thoroughbred or standard bred chicken, one good enough to put into the show' room, was some kind of a freak not suited to any other purpose, and entirely unfit for the practical man. Nothing could have been farther from the facts, and many are just now get ting wise along this line, for it has been one great aim and earnest en deavor of the standard makers for years to have for their ideal chicken one that was all chicken from head to tail.
