Butter Production Far Short of
Consumntion—A Pertinent Les
son From an Order of Figs.
By FRANK T. REYNOLDS,
Secretary of Executive Committes,
Southeastern Land Show.
Casual analysis of farming condi
tions and allied interests in the
Southeast discloses that an awaken
ing rapidly is taking place.
An authority deeply versed in gen
eral agricultural affairs advises that,
compared with Europe, we produce
three to four times more per man,
but over there they produce three to
four times more per acre—which tells
the tale,
I read in The American last Sun
day that nearly a half milllon pounds
of butter was imported into Georgla
last year, and 1 feel sure that lif
every pound brought across her bor
ders could have been accounted for,
the amount would run more than
1,000,000 pounds. Reliable informa
tion shows that about 80,000,000
pounds of butter is the average
amount made in the State annually,
and one-thirtieth of that is made In
one county, not 75 miles from At
lanta. If every other county made an
equal amount, there would be no need
for importing butter into Georgia.
AA striking fact in connection with
at county is that the average farm
consists of only 656 acres, and those
farms almost exclusively are oulti
vated by the owners. Therein is the
whole story. That same county pre
served for home consumption 76,000
pounds of figs. ’
I had occasion to make a talk in
September to a representative body
of Georgiang in the assembly room
of one of the best hotels In a de
lightful city of the State, At break
fast that morning, during the fresh
fig season, 1 had ordered figs. 1 got
preserved flgs at b cents per fig—a
regular and not exorbltant price—
while in the back yard of that hotel
there were fig bushes burdened with
lusclous fruit, and, indeed, all over
that city and on every farm in that
county were thousands of fig trees,
abundantly laden.
Yot my breakfast figs came from
@ BSouthern city more than 1,000 miles
away. [ recalled that incident to
those to whom I spoke a few hours
later—a case of carrying coals to
Neweastle while we Georgians liter
ally are “sitting under our own vine
and fig tree.”
An enterprising Rhode Islander, 1
am told, sent to Thomas County,
Georgia, a few years ago and secured
many fig roots for transplanting, He
set them out near Newport, and now
makes a net annual revenue of $4,000
to 85,000 selling fresh figs to the rich
Newport cottagers who go there every
sumgner. In order to do so, he takes
up the bushes in the fall, keeps them
over winter in a hothouse, and resets
them in the spring.
Any poultry-raiser can easily double
his profits by doubling the egg produc
tion of his hens. A sclentific tonic has
been discovered that revitalizes the flock
and makes hens work all the time. The
tonle is called “More Eggs.” Give your
hens a few cents’ worth of “More Eggs'’
and you will be amazed and delighted
with reeruilts. A dollar's worth of “More
Eggs"’ will double this year*s production
of e!‘l. 80 If you wish to try this great
Frm t-maker, write 5. J. Reefer, Poultry
txpert, 8141 Reefer Bldg., Kansas City,
Mo., who will send you & season's sup
ply of “More Eggs" Tonie for s§l.oo (pre
paid). 8o confident is Mr, Reefer of the
results that a million-dollar bank Tunr
antees if you are not absolutely satisfied
your dollar will be returned on request
and the "“More Eggs'' costs you nothing.
Rend a dollar today or ask Mr. Reefer
for his free }mul(r.\' book that tells the
experience of a man who has made a
fortune out of poullry.

Dasheen Adaptable
To Most of South
Tropical Root Crop Will Thrive as
Far North as South Carolina,
Declares Expert.
The dasheen, a root crop introduced
into this country from Trinidad within
recent years by the United States De
partment of Agriculture, is now grown
by a considerable number of farmers and
truckers in the South, and promises to
become a valuable member of the group
of domestic vegetables, such as the po
tato, which furnish starchy foods. The
new vegetable is closely related to the
taro, which i{s an important factor in the
food supply in portions of the tropics ‘
The dasheen Itsief {8 primarily a trop
ical p.ant. It can be grown successfully,
however, not only in the warmer por
tions of Florida, but in other sections of
the South as far north as South Caro
lina The edible portion of the plant
includes a large central corn and a
number of tubers, of much smaller size,
attached to and around the corm. ‘
The value of the dasheen, it is be
leved, will be as a crop supplemental
to rather than a substitute for the po
tato. The fact that the dasheen ma
tures in the fall when potatoes must
be obtained from Northern producing
sections should make the new plant es
pecially valuable in the economics of
the Southern farmer ‘

172 Pure-bred Hogs
Brought to One Farm
AMERICUS, Jan. 13.-—~Further evi
dence of the sentiment that is rap
idly being developed relative to the
live stock business was presented
here when a special stock car arrived
in Americus, carrying 60 head of
pure-bred Hampshire hogs, received
from a breeding farm in Indiana, and
destined for a farm located a short
distance from Americus.
In the shipment were 28 sows, 21
gilts and a boar welghing approxi
mately 800 pounds, The Hampshire
Is rapidly growing in favor in the
Southeast, and when in prime condi-"
tion are about the prettiest of the
hog family, beilng distinguished by a
broad white stripe extending-around
the body. It is a fine animal for rib
and lard purposes. |
The consignment coming to Armeri
cus was the third of Hampshires to
be brought South for this one farm,
bringing the farm's herd of this type
of hog to 172. In addition, the man
agement of the plantation breeds tho‘
celebrated Duroc-Jersey hog, and has
gone Into the dairy business «xten-‘
sively, using the Guernsey type for
this purpose. :

Georgia State Fair

To Be Oct. 31-Nov. 9
MACON, Jan. 13.~Dates for the
1817 Georgia State Fair have been
fixed for October 31 to November 9,
and the usual committees have been
named.
The dates were fixed after a con
ference with F. C. Miller, of Fort Val
ley, grand master of the Georgia Ma
sonic Grand Lodge, which two years
ago objected to meeting in Macon if
the fair dates conflicted with its
meeting. The grand master consent
ed for the fair to open this year on'
‘the closing day of the Grand Lodge
meeting. ‘
U. S. Department of Agriculture
Declares This Section Most
Logical for Cattle.
The constantly diminishing number
of cattle in this country has caused
a nation-wide movement for the en
couraging of cattle raising. In the
last ten years the value of cattle has
almost doubled and the number has
decreased about one-fifth, The great
ranges of the West which have sup
plied most of the cattie have now been
cut up for homesteads and are sub-
Ject to forest reserves. Not only are
the Western ranges not so open, but
they produced hardly enough feed in
the summer, and in the winter the
cattle ate sage brush tops appearing
above the snow, or they had to be fed
costly hay. The severs winters re
tarded the growth of the young and
the deep snows, covering all vegeta
tion, caused many logses by starva
tion. The yearbook of the United
States Department of Agriculture
Bsays:
“There is one section that can pro
duce more cattle and produce more
cheaply than any other section of the
whole country, for the lands are still
cheap, the grazing is good, the pas
ture season is long, feeds can be pro
duced at the minimum cost, and lin
expensive shelter only is required.
That section of the country is the
Bouth.” '
“There are many reasons why ¥lor
ida is adapted to the successful grow-’
Ing of live stock of all kinds almost
without limit,” says Commissioner of
Agriculture Mcßae in Live Stock
Farming in Forida. “Among the prin
cipal reasons {s its unlimited and un
failling supply of water, which is ab
solutely essential in every country to
the successful production of live stock
of all kinds. Where water is not run
ning from natural sources, there is
hardly a locality in the State that
can not be made to artificlally pro
duce water enough for all reasonable
purposes, whether it be stock raising
or any other purposes.”
“Another advantage we have in the
South over any other section of the
country is our climate,” says a report
of the Florida Department of Agricul
ture. “We do not have to supply an
extra 256 {:er cent of feed for eight
months of the year to keep uF the
‘natural heat of the animal, as is the
caye during the cold weather that
prevalls In the Northern States.”
Conditions almost identical to those
in Fiorida prevail in the southern part
of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippl
in Senrd to the growing of live stock.
The cattle territory north of Florida
has the added advantage of closer
rroximny to the Northern and pack
ng-house markets, with proportion
ally diminishing freight rates.
For 8. C. Proposed
COLUMBIA, 8. C, Jan. 13.—Crea
tlon of a State highway department
#0 that this State may share in the
funds available for permanent high
way construction under the Federal
aid act is suggested in the report of
H. J. Watson, Commissioner of Ag
riculture.
‘learul suppert for the tick-eradi
cating work s recommended, He rec
ommends that authority be given to
prepare and issue during the year a
handbook of the resources of the
State, there having been no edition
since 1908.
- It also is urged that the commis
sion be empowered without direct ap
}pmprlunon to expand and increase
the activites of the State Bureau of
Marketing.
The Commissioner suggests that
the food and drug inspectors be re
quired to inspect all dairies in the
State.

E. Y. Clzrke, General Manager,
Calls Scale of Travel Prices
Best Ever Fixed.
“The general public,” said General
Manager F. Y. Clarke, of the South
eastern Land Show, to be held in At
lanta February 1-15, “has not realized
the remarkably attractive rates
granted the land show by the rail
roads throughout the country. The
Southeastern Passenger Assoclation
has just issued its tariff giving the
excursion fares to Atlanta, and it
shows some remarkable rates from
long-distance points to Atlanta.
“From Washington, D. C., the round
trip ticket 1s $20.35; trom Helena,
Ark. the round trip ticket is $14.50;
from Mliami, Fla., the round trip tick
et ig $21.85, and from Jacksonville
$10.86. From Bast Bt. Louis the round
trip ticket is $21.00, and from Cairo,
111, the round trip ticket is $15.60.
From Evansville, Ind., the round trip
ticket ils $14.60, and from Cincinnati,
Ohio, the round trip ticket is $15.10.
“Such rates as these have not been
put on by the railroads to any event
in Atlanta, and if those interested in
the Land Show will assist the rail
roads and the Land Show manage
ment in getting these rates properly
before the public it will mean tre
mendous business for all concerned.
“In addition to the general long
distance rates, the railroads have put
on side-trip rates out of Atlanta dur
ing the show to any town in the four
States at approximately one fare for
the round trip. This will enable any
one coming to the show and becoming
interested in any town or section of
the four States to buy a round trip
ticket at just a little more than one
fare to the point in which they are
interested,
“The general excursion fares are
not for every day, but go on sale only
on the following days:
“January 31, February 3, 10, 11 and
14, and are good for return not later
than February 20, but a 30-days’ ex
tension on the ticket can be secured
by the payment of sl.”
