Senator Dickerson and Repre

in forcing the Atkinson county
proposition through the late ses

seems to be preparations brewing

From all sections of South floor

booze is being captured by the
sheriffs of the different counties in
many pints, quarts and gallons
from people running the blockade
from Jacksonville, Florida. Many
hundred of gallons are being
brought in, escaping the blockade,
and a bad feature of it is, the stuff
has never come in contact with a
distillery and is poisonous to the
people who drink it.
Governor Pleasant, of Louisiana,
dedicated September 15th to mass

minds of our people the eventuali
ties of the war Why not follow
the example in Georgia? It will
do good; many of our people are
uninformed on this subject and
they need to be enlightened and
placed in line to do their bit
cheerfully and without friction.

tho many valuable awards to be made
to the Boys' Corn clubs and the Girls'
Canning clubs.
The aggregate of more than $35,000
In prizes to be paid for agricultural and
farm displays alone will give some
pmall Idea of the tremendous extent
of the Southeastern Fair this year, es
pecially since that Is scarcely half the
aggregate total of the premiums.
Without the farm there could be no
fair. The Southeastern Fair Is found
ed primarily upon progressive agricul
ture, and because the farmer, too, likes
and must havo his holiday, there ore
combined with it such wholesome
amusements as the horso-raclng—the
finest In the world, under the auspices
of the famous Grand Circuit —fire-
works, every night of the most bril
liant and patriotic sort; open air
vaudeville, sports and amusements of
all kinds and, In Larkland, the famous
shows of the Patterson Carnival com
pany, one of tho largest and best in
the country.
Handsome cash prizes of SSOO, S4OO
and on down to SSO, are offered for
the bast showings in the various
classes of cotton, grains, hays and
similar products.
Horticulture with a hundred or
more prizes, will Include the south’s
finest fruits and vegetables. The im-
Importanco of good seed production Is
stressed In a special department; here
science comes to play for the better
ment of southern agriculture.
Magnificent Display of Pure Bred Cattle at the Southeastern Fair in 1916.
The agricultural department is so
important a feature that President 11.
G. Hastings of the fair association was
placed in charge of it as chairman,
with R. G. Lyon as superintendent.
World's Finest Cattle
Will Be Shown Here.
The first Southeastern Fair made
a nation-wide reputation through its
magnificent display of fine registered
cattle. The showing this year with
$14,000 cash premiums, will be even
better and more extensive. Better
stilV, there will be larger representa
tion of fine cattle from Georgia than
ever, showing the splendid progress
made in this state in the important
cuttle growing industry.
The American Hereford Cattle
Breeders’ Association will show here
the biggest and best exhibit it has ever
brought together. The exhibits of
Jerseys will be under the auspices of
the American Jersey Cattle Club, and
the showings of Shorthorns, Aberdeen
Angus. Red Polled, Guernseys, Hol
stein-Friesians and others will ail be
under the direct authorization of the
various organizations which encourage
the growing of each class of registered
cattle.

the model dairy and cow contest will
constitute educational features of the
utmost value.
In fact, the entire agricultural exhib
it, Including cattle, swim- and poultry,
is framed along educational lines, for
the foremost purpose of the fair is
to teach. It proposes to show not only
w’hat others have done, but to the
man who wants to emulate them, it
seeks to show him how to do it. Help
ful information will be available at
every point; it is only necessary to
ask for it. •
Finest Of Swine;
Best In Poultry.
Hog raising for which the south pre
sents tiro best of facilities, is destin
ed to become one of Its foremost in
dustries, perhaps second only to the
great soil crops.
Offerings of $7,000 In premiums have
brought entries of some world famous,
high bred swine. They include Du
roc Jerseys, Ilampshires, Poland Chi
nas, Berkshire*. Chester Whites, Farn
worths —the world's finest breeds and
plenty of them.
Sheep, too, come in for their share,
for the Southeastern Fair is doing
everything within its power to encour
age the more extensive growing of thlß
important animal throughout Georgia
and the southeast.
Parties desiring to purchase high
bred registered stock, particularly cat
tle and swine, in order to build for
themselves, will have every opportun
ity at the auctions which have been
arranged, to get Just what they want.
Pure bred poultry of every known
class will be shown In keen competi
tion for prizes aggregating $2,000 and
for ribbons, which mean even more
than the money to the fancier and
grower. Thousands of chickens, in all
the varied colors and kinds will tes-
tify to the abundant growth of a farm
industry that is rapidly forging ahead
to a leading place.
Even the bees have not been for
gotten. Cash prizes are offered for
the best displays of bees and apiary
products.
You will, in fact, see the best of
everything when you come to the
Southeastern Fair, in October.
Altogether the Southeastern Fair of
i 1917 will be perhaps the most com
plete display in every line ever shown
in the south. A special building has
been set apart for automobiles, and
all the best known cars in new models
will he on display with demonstrators
in charge.
There is something to attract every
age and condition of man. In fact, the
fair begins with the baby, in the "Bet
ter Babies Show," takes care of the
boy and the girl, affords amusement
and education for the young man and
young woman, and combines every
known feature to attract and interest
those of middle age and even those of
maturer years.
Counties or individuals wishing In
formation about exhibit space, rules,
etc., should write at once to R. M.

DETERMINING FACTORS
IN BEEFJ’RODUCTION
Must Be Considered By Farmer Who
Expects To Raise Or To Finish
Beef Cattle
i
In order to make a fair margin
of profit the farmer, according to Dr.
Soule of the State College of Agricul
ture, should ascertain whether he has
on hand or can obtain at a reasonable
cost the type and class of cattle from
which he may expect to make a pro
fit; he must either have or be will
ing to supply with such
equipment as is necessary; he must
take into consideration the question
of foodstufTs, both concentrates and
roughage; and finally he must have
a market where he can easily dispose
of his cattle after he has finished
them.
Animals with a blocky conforms,
tion and those general character
istics which distinguish the beef type
may be depended upon, if properly
fed and handled, to make good gains
and a profit for the owner. Anilnals
with a dairy conformation have no
natural covering of flesh and, though
they may make fairly good gains,
much of the fat will be found around
the Intestines rather than In the re
gion of the most valuable cuts.
We are prone to believe that with
our mild climate shelters are not ne
cessary, but statistics show that in
the south 25 cattle out of every thou
sand die while in the
northern Btates with their rigorous
winters only 3.G cattle die to the
thousand. In Georgia last year sl,
945,000 worth of cattle were lost
through exposure and disease and the
total for the fifteen southern states
runs between 75 and 100 million dol
lars annually. There need not be s
costly building but a cheap shelter
with a leanto roof and open on the
south side can easily be provided.
Experienced feeders consider a silo
as almost absolutely necessary for
the economical feeding of live stock
during the winter months. Land that
has formerly been planted to cotton
may be devoted to oats or a mixture
of oats, crimson clover and vetch for
hay. Following this the ground should
pioduce a second crop, cowpea hay,
and the oat land may make the corn
for the silo. Those who prefer may
use sorghum or kafir corn for the silo
Instead of field corn. There should
be an abundance of tame pastures,
such as Bermuda, burr clover, and
Japan clover. Where lime is widely
used, alfalfa can bo grown success
fully in all parts of the south. It is
needless to say that cotton seed meal
will be the main concentrate supple
mented with corn or oats, when
necessary.
In order to finish cattle with any
degree of satisfaction they should be
fed from 90 to 150 days. For the 1000
pound animal keep an abundance of
mixed hay In the feeding rack nl
all times; feed dally SO to 40 pounds
of silage, 4 to 6 pounds of cotton seed
meal, and 6 to 7 pounds of shelled
corn.
