CATTLE RAISING TO BE FEATURE
Cattle raising is to be one of
the principal and most attractive
features of the state farm which
the prison commission is to pur
chase within the next few weeks,
and on which the white felony
convicts of the state not worked
on the roads are to be kept.
The commission is detemined
that the farm shall be self
supporting and will see to it, es
pecially, that all the meat con
sumed is raised on the premises.
With large pastures for grazing
cattle on which they can be fed
during the spring and summer
and by feeding them cotton seed
meal mixed with hulls, which is
secured from the cotton seed
raised on the farm, they can be
raised and fattened without cost
to the state, thereby saving a
great amount of money on the
meat bill.
During the past few years this
feed came to be considered not
only the cheapest, but the best
in the state and each department
of the state has come to realize it
and whenever it can be its being
used.
The Floyd county grand jury
which has just closed its session,
returned more than 200 true
bills. Forty two of these charge
violations of the prohibition law,
amongthem being the managers
of several social clubs.

102 Counties Ask Quola of Convicts
Atlanta, Ga.—Out of the 146
counties in Georgia, 102 have ap
plied to the prison commission
for their quota of convicts for
work on the public roads.
As Wednesday, February 10.
is the last day on which counties
may make such requisitions for
convicts, it is probable there will
be no change in the number of
counties when the list is complet
ed.
The original apportionment of
convicts has been changed by the
decision to place all the white
convicts on the state farm. This
means the withdrawal of 300 con
victs from road work.
A number of counties have ap
plied for more convicts than their
legal quota. The total of “overs”
applied for is nearly as great as
the number of convicts now in
the penitentiary. The total num
: ber of “overs” applied for is
2,103. There will probably be
' less than 500 to be distributed.
