Butter Production Far Short of
Consumption—A Pertinent Les
son From an Order of Figs.
By FRANK T. REYNOLDS,
Secretary of Executive Committee,
Southeastern Land Show.
(‘asual 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 theres 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 million pounds
of butter was imported Into Georgia
last yvear, and I feel sure that If
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 30,000,000
pounds of butter is the average
amount made in the State annually,
and one-thirtieth of that ls made in
one county, not 76 miles from At
lanta. If every other county made an
squal amount, there would be no need
for {mporting butter into Georgia.
“: striking fact In connection with
t county is that the average farm
consists of only 656 acres, and those
farms almost exclusively are culti
vated by the owners, Therein is the
whole story. That same county pre
served for home consumption 75,000
pounds of figs.
1 had occasion to make a talk in
September to a representative body
of Georglans in the assembly room
of one of the best hotels In a de
lghtful city of the State, At break
fast that morning, during the fresh
fig season, 1 had ordered figs. 1 got
preserved figs at 6 cents per fig—a
regular and not exorbitant 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 eve? farm in that
oounty were thousands of fig trees,
abundantly laden,
Yet my breakfast figs came from
& Southern city more than 1,000 milas
away. I recalled that Incident to
those to whom I spoke a few hours
later--a case of carrving ooals to
Newcastle while we Georgians liter
ally are “sitting under our own vine
and fig tree.”
An enterprigsing Rhode Iszlander, 1
am told, sent to Thomas County,
Georgia, a few years ago and secured
many fig roots for transplanting, He
get them out near Newport, and now
makes a net annual revenue of $4,000
to §5,000 melling fresh figs to the rich
Newport cottagers who go there every
summer. 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 tonlc has
been discovered that revitalizes the flock
and makes hens work all the time. The
tonic is called “More Eggs." Give your
hens a few cents’' worth of ““More Eggs"”
and you will be amazed and delighted
with results. A dollar's worth of “More
Eggs"” will double this year*s produection

these improvements will take a greatamount of money. We are ready to

| Tropical Root Crop Will Thrive as
! Far North as South Carolina,
} Declares Expert,
1 Fhe dasheen, a root crop introduced
into this country from Trinidads within
recent years by the United States De
partment of Agriculture, i¥ now grown
by a considerable number of farmers and
truckers (n 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 I 8 closely related to the
tare, which is an important factor in the
food supply in portions of the troplcs,
The dasheen itslef is primarily a trop
ical plant. 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 bouth 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 |s be
lleved, will he a 8 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 obhtained from Northern producing
sections should make the new plant es
pecially wvaluable 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

live stock business was presented
here when 4 special stock car arrived
in Americus, carrying 60 head of
pure-bred Hampshire hogs, received
from a breeding farm in Indlana, and
destined for a farm looated a short
distance from Americus,
In the shipment were 38 sows, 21
gllts and a boar weighing approxi
mately 806 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, belng distinguished by a
broad white stripe extending around
the body. It is & flne animal for rib
and lard purposes.
The consignment coming to Ameri
cus was the third of Hampshires to

bringing the farm’'s herd of this type
of hog to 172, In addition, the man
agement of the plantation breeds the

‘U. S. Department of Agriculture
\
Declares This Section Most
Logical for Cattle.
The constantly diminishing number
of cattle in this country has caused
a natlon-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
decreaséd about one-fifth, The great
ranges of the West which have sup
plied most of the cattle 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 severe winters re
tarded the growth of the young and
the deep snows, covering all vegota-}
tion, caused many losses by starva
tion. The yearbook of the United
States Department of Agriculture
says: |
“There is one section that can pro
duce more cattle and produce morej‘
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 in
expensive shelter only is required.
That section of the country is the
Bouth.” |
“There are many reasons why Flor
ida 1s adapted to the successful grow
ing of llve stock of all kinds almost
without limit,” says Commissioner of
Agriculture Mcßae in Live BStock
Farming in Florida. “Among the prin
clpal reagons is its unlimited and un
falling supply of water, which is ab
solutely essential in every country to
the guccessful production of llve 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 rmonable‘
purposes, whether it be stock mlln“
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 25 Fer cent of feed for elight
months of the year to keep up the
natural heat of the animal, as is the
case during the cold weather that
prevails In the Northern States,”
Conditions almost identical to those
In Florida prevail in the southern part
of Georgia, Alabama and Mississipp!
‘m regard to the growing of live stock.
The cattle territory north of Florida
has the added advantage of closer
proximity to the Northern and pack-
Ing-house markets, with proportion
ally diminishing freight rates.

E. Y. Clarke, General Manager,
Calls Scale of Travel Prices
Best Ever Fixed.
“The general public,” sald General
Manager E. 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 rafl
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 is $20.35; from Helena,
Ark., the round trip ticket is $14.60;
from Miami, Fla., the round trip tick
et is $21.85, and from Jacksonville
$10.85. From East Bt. Louls 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 is $14.60, and from Cincinnati,
Ohlo, the round trip ticket is $15.10.
“Such rates as these have not been
put on by the rallroads 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 genéral excursion fares are
not for every day, but go on salé 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 §l.” .
