His farm, he said, was he first “come out in the open" with the cross-breeding, particularly between the Derconis and Standard families. It has been so successful he declared. • hat virtually all his prize-winning cattle has been sold and the resulting younger herd is a better quality. Other catth farms and some agri' , ’tnral colleges arc taking up this production method. Geor gia's live stock quality has imiproved to iich an extent, Mr. McPherson said, that ilie east is coming to the South for good blood lines, whereas the South formerly depended upon the east for them. Better production methods, soil and climatic advantages and establishment of nore packing houses and cheese plants in Georgia have helped make tbe state's 'ive stock industry an annual $73,000,000 business, he added. It. was worth only ‘ l ' ! 00-0 000 three years previously. DID YOU KNOW: Os the total amount of taxes paid in 193.8 by the railroads, 77.4 per cent, went to local and state government's . . .

Chattooga County Fair Opens This Morning at 9 O’Clock Exhibits This Year Promise To Be Best Seen In History of Fair —Cumberland Valley Shows Again Will Furnish Amusement Features—Rome Day Friday.

School Stunt night for fair will be held in the school auditorium. Tickets bought for this will be good to enter fair grounds after leaving auditorium. JAMELAWSTO BE RIGIDLY ENFORCED The wild-life rangers of Georgia have been lenient in handling eases of game law violations during the forty-five days that the new force has been in the field. This was to give the people <e oppor tunity to get acquainted with the men and learn that they were on the job. But in the future it will be necessary for the rangers to enforce the law when violators are apprehended. We feel that it is fitting, at this point, to print some of the laws by which all >f us must abide. All hunters are required by law to 'lave proper license to hunt. It is a violation of the state law: 1. To hunt any game bird or animal at night, with the exception of opossum, raccoon and fox. 2. To buy, sell, or offer for sale any game bird or animal; to ship by mail. >xpress, or any other means any game bird or animal; or to possess game out side the open season, provided that five days are allowed for consumption of game killed in legal season. 3. To hunt on the lands of another without his permission. 4. To trap any game bird or animal by any means. (Does not include certain fur-bearers in open trapping season.) There is no closed season on rabbits and foxes, but license is required to hunt. Foxes may be hunted with dogs only at any time, but may not be trapped except during trapping season, which is Nov. ’0 to March 1. Trappers license is re iiiired. No person may chase fox on the lands of another without first obtaining the consent of the landowner. It is un lawful to dig fox from dens or to have in possession any live fox at any time. Every person on a fox, raccoon or opossum hunt must have a license. It is unlawful to hold in captivity any game bird or animal without special per mission from the director of the division f wild-life. It is a violation of the law to shoot quail on the ground. All game law violations are misdemea nors and are punishable by a fine of not 'ess than $25 nor more than S2OO and all costs of court. These are a few of the hunting laws. Others will be printed from time to time. Any questions referred 'to the wild-life ranger in this district will be cheerfully answered. This department would much rather have the co-operation of the people than to have to resort to law enforcement. Dove shooting season closed last Sun day. Oct. 15, so peace be with them until Dec. 20. BAPTIST UNION RALLY OCT. 22 There will be a regional training union rally at the Trion Baptist Church next Sunday afternoon. Oct. 22. at 2; 15. Maines Rawls Georgia state worker from Atlanta, and IV. A. Harrel. from Nash ville. will lie the principal speakers.

The new Ford tractor is equipped with hydraulic controls, starter, power take ff. pneumatic tires, governor, adjustable treads, ignition lock, throttle control, independent rear-wheel brakes, air cleaner. Be sure to 'see this demonstration of the new Ford tractor while attending the fair.

G. Kirckihoff, Pastor.) Spurgeon once related the following incident: A negro had become convinced through hearing an address by a mis sionary. that it was his duty to give the tenth of his increase to the Lord. So he divided his fields into ten parts and planted corn and potatoes, etc., in one tenth for the Lord, but he took no care of it further on. When people passed by they usually expressed surprise, that nine-tenths of the field was in .perfect condition and one-tenth entirely neglected. Then Zacharich was wont to explain, "That is the Lord’s part.” So, many do. Their own affairs are attended to with great care, their Whole being is forced into action therein, but in tlieir work for the Lord they are luke warm and do as Zacharich did with his field.
