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.
Casual analvsis of farming cond}
tilons and allied nterests in the
Southeast discloses that an awaken
ing rapidly is taking place
An authority deeply versed in gen
eral agricultural affalrs advises that,
compared with FEurope, we produce
three to four times more per man,
hut over there they produce three to
four times more per acre—which tells
he tale :
i read in The American last sun~‘
day that nearly a half million Lmundn‘
of butter was imported into Georgia |
last vear, and I feel sure that If
every pound brought aocross her bor
ders could have been acoounted for,
the amount would run more than
1,000,000 pounds Reliable informe
tion shows that about 30,000,000
pounds of butter Is the average
amount made in the State annually,
and one-thirtieth of that is made in
one county, not 76 miles from At
lanta. If every other county made an
equal amount, there would be no need
for importing butter into Georgia.
\ striking fact in connection with
Jghat county is that the average farm
cogsists of only 56 ‘acres, and those
farms almost exclusively are culti
vated by the owners. Therein s the
whole story. That same oounty pre
served for home consumption 75,000
pounds of figs. 4
I had occasion to make a talk in
Keptember Lo a representative body
of Georglans 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 scason, | had ordered figs. | got
preserved figs at § cents per fig -a
regular and not exorbitant price
while in the back yard of that hotel
there were fig bushes burdened with
luscious fruit, and, Indeed, all over
that city and on every farm in that
county were thousands of fig trees,
abundantly laden.
Yet my breakfast figs came from
& Southern city more than 1,000 miles
away I recalled that incident to
those to whom 1 spoke a few hours
later—a case of carrving 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 vears ago and secured
many fig roots for transplanting. He
&6t them out near Newport, and now
makes « net annual revenue of $4,000
to $5,000 selling 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 winier in a hothouse, and resets
them in the spring
Digs T
Igs Ty Pot of
Gold Worth $7.000
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 13.—8 even thou
sand dollars in gold was the treasure
John Rugowski. a truck farmer, found
hidden 2 feet under ground while work
-6g in his garden near Manitowoc, Wis
Rugowskl struck an old iron kettle
with a shovel, and, digging 1t up, care
lessly cast it aside, when he spied the
glittering money.
Now the question arises. to whow
<oes the money helong, because Rugow
#ki i& only a tenant on the farm. The
property i 8 owned by the estate of
the late John Meyer, which is still be
ing settled. Heirs of the estate claim
the treasure, but Rugowski Intimates
that possession is nine points of law.
and whoever pets the money from him
will have trouhle.
For yvears the farm was owned by a
man named Huck, an eccentric charnv-}
ter, who had no falth in banks. It i& he
who is thought to have hidden the
wealth The property has changed
hands a number of times.

Send Father Home‘
CHICAGO, Jan. 18.~-The ‘alarm
wateh' has come. Housewives with
husbands who regularly forget when it's
time to come home may give their lords
and masters these timepleces, which
may be set each morning for a certain
hour that evening. When the ulurm‘
goes off Mr., Husband knows it's time to
hike out for the family hearthstone. ‘
There are other advantages nuauhu-l‘
to an alarm watch. Dad may set m«1
daughter's wrist watch at the proper|
good inght hour and then when sister and |
her beau get too busy gazing into each
other's eyes the alarm will notify tha
young man that the time is ripe to
make his getaway. Thus papa is saved
a trip downstairs to shoo away the
suitor,
Business and other engagements may
be more easily remembered if one's
watch is there to give the alarm, Yes,
indeed, everybody will be on time |lf
there are enough alarm watches to go
round. ;

|U, S. Department of Agriculture
. Declares This Section Most
Logical for Cattle.
|
!
{ The constantly diminishing number
fnf cattle in this country has caused
la 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
idw'rt-usvd about one-fifth. The great
| ranges of the West which have sup
!pluul most of the cattle have now been
{'u’ up for homesteads and are sub
ject to forest reserves. Not only are |
the Western ranges not so open, but
| .
ilhoy produced hardly enough feed in |
{the summer, and in the winter m.,!
“!mlh- ate sage brush tqps 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 vegeta- |
INHH. caused many losses by starva
'Hnn The yearbook of the United |
| Btates Department of Agriculture |
Bays ;
. There is one section that can pro- |
duce more cattle and produce more |
cheaply than any other section of thni
| whole country, for the lands are still
' cheap, the grazing is good, the pas- |
ture gseason 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
South.” |
There are many reasons why Flor- |
{da is adapted to the successful grow
ing of llve stock of all kinds almost
without limit,” savs C‘ommissioner of
Agriculture Mcßae in Live Btock
TFarming in Florida. “Among the prin
cipal reasons is its unlimited and un
falling supply of water, which is ab
solutely essential in every country tol
the successful production of live stock
of all kinds. Where water ig not run- |
ning from natural sources, there ig|
hardly a locality in the State that!
can not he made to artificially pro- !
duce water enough for all reasonable |
purposer, whether it he stock ralsing |
or any other purposes.’” |
“Another advantage we have in the
Bouth over any other section of th".l
country ig our climate” says a report
of the Florlda Department of Agricul- |
ture, “We do not have to supply :mi
extra 25 per cent of feed for eight|
months of the year to keep up thnl'
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 Georgla, Alabama and Mississipp!
in regard to the growing of live stock.
The cattle territory north of lorida
hag the added advantage of closer
proximity to the Northern and pack
ing-house markets, with proportion
ally diminighing freight rates.

the remarkably attractive rates
granted the land show by the rail
roads throughout the country. The
Southeastern Passenger Association
has just issued its tariff giving the
excursion fares to Atlanta, and it
snows some remarkable rates from
long-distance points to Atlanta.
| “From Washington, D. (~ the round
trip ticket is $20.35; from Helena,
' Ark., the round trip ticket is $14.50;
fromm Miami, Fla., the round trip tick
et is $21.85, and from Jacksonville
' $10.85. From East St. 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 is $14.50, 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 rall
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 !
