CIRCULATE IN (BEST SECTION OF NORTH GEORGIA. VOL. 53; NO. 8 NEWS AT A GLANCE ABOUT PEOPLE ANO THINGS IN GEORGIA NOT MORE, BUT BETTER GRADE CATTLE NEEDED IN GEOR GIA, SAYS PAPY. ATLANTA, May 9 (GPS).—Not more, but better grade cattle is needed in Georgia, in the opinion of E. S. Papy, president of the White Provision company, who addressed a recent meet ing of the Atlanta Lions club. Speak ing on Georgia's expanding live stock industry, he pointed out the futility of feeding scrub cattle the same amount of corn and oats as would be fed high grade cattle, and then getting a consid erably lower price for the product. At the othar extreme, Mr. Papy also said it was 1 mistake to attempt to produce top cattle from the start, as the majority of the state’s farmers have not the necessary experience or feed He thinks a Georgia farmers, with “live-at-home” ambitions, and his eye on another income source, would do well to start with decent grade stock, and as his experience and acres in feed crops increase, to breed up the quality of his herd. “Live stock,” Mr. Papy emphasized, “is not meant to be a substitute for cotton, but as a supplement to that and other crops.” In addition to enabling the farmer to live at home, cows, hogs and hens and pasture land would build up eroded and depleted soils and give the farmer profitable winter work, the , speaker said. Exceed Demand: “Transportation fa cilities have been extended in the last 1 decade along economically unsound lines and without public or governmental di rection,” declares George M. Harrison, grand president of the Brotherhood o' Railway and Steamship Clerks, and 1 chairman of the Railway Labor Execu tives’ association. “Available facilities 1 now far exceed the need and the de- 1 mand for such service, producing the inevitable wasteful and cutthroat prae- ' tices and the struggle for a share of the meager traffic available. Many of these new transport facilities were developed I with the aid of government subsidy and permitted to project, their operations into fields already adequately served by railways, and because of this overex pansion all forms of transportation are 1 hard pressed to survive.” ; Gist Os the News: The governor’s of- i fice was the scene of fistic combat the i other day between Commissioner of La j bor Ben T. Huiet and Vice-President i Albert Gossett, of the Georgia Federa- i tion of Labor. The dispute' climaxed a < hearing before Gov. Rivets on person- 1 nel matters within the labor depart- ] pent.

Dionnes Have Rival In Prodigious Pig CARROLLTON.—Have you heard about the mamma sow whose glory was almost four times that of the Dionnes? It happened on the day she gave birth to nineteen little piggys. Yes, nineteen! And what’s more, she had fourteen in the litter before that, which makes a total of thirty-three babies in two litters. That just goes to prove the theory, "It can be done.” We didn’t believe it at first either, but we have Joe AV. Daniel, Carrollton, Route 4, and owner of the sow to prove it. He was amazed the latter part of last year when he found the litter of fourteen pigs. But his amazement knew no bounds the other day when he discovered the same sow had given birth to nineteen more, which gives her an average of six teen pigs per latter. All of them were good, strong and healthy. Mr. Daniel tells us he had to give some of them away so that they might get enough to eat. Two of them went to his sister who is feeding them on a bottle.
