Newspaper Page TextWHEELED COUNTY EAGLE. |1.60 A Year, in Advance OFFICIAL ORGAN WHEELER CO PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY J. b. GROSS, PropreUr. Ent< at the Post Office at alamo, Ueorgia, as second class nail matter, May 16th, 1913, under Famous Kidnapings. The kidnapping of the Lind bergh baby has recalled many other similar crimes, a number which baffled all efforts to appre hend the kidnapers or find a trace of the stolen children. Among them are these: Charlie Ross, stolen in Ger mantown, Pa., in 1875. Catherine Winters, kidnaped in Newcastele. Ind., in 1913. Jimmy Glass, abducted in Jersey City in 1915. Billy Gaffney, kidnaped in Brooklyn in 1027. Children kidnaped and known to have been killed include the following: Lloyd Kent of Springfield,Mo., in 1917. Billy Bansey of New Jersery in 1919. Bobby Franks of Chicago in 1924, for whose murder Loeb and Leopold are serving a life sent ence. Marian Parker of Los Angeles for whose abduction and murder in 1927 William Hickman was electrocuted. Marian McLean, kidnaped, as saulted and killed in Cincinnati 1931, her murderer having con fessed after capture. In a number of cases kidnap ed children were restored to their parents unharmed, some times after payment of ransom. Several of the cases mentioned created nation wide interest, but no kidnaping in the world’s his tory has inspired such universal indignation against the perpetra tors, or such sincere sympathy for the parents as has the ab duction of Charles Augstus Lind bergh. Jr. Freaks of a Tornado. Tornadoes are the most freak ish of storms, and those whicl brought death to more than 3CO victims in Alabama and other southern states recently weie no exception. Many seemingly miraculous escapes occurred,as well as odd incidents, such as the following: Near Birmingham a 22 montl old baby girl, Jewel Butler, wrs torn from her mother’s arms and carried nearly ten miles, yel was unharmed save for a few bruises. Two little negro boys were blown across the Warrior rivei at Demopolis and landed in a field uninjured. Two persons hurt at Clanton were taken for treatment to Thorsby, where another twister struck the physician’s office just as they arrived, but they were not fui ther injure d. An amusing freak of the storm was the wrapping of a quilt tight ly around a rooster and deposit ing the helpless bird high in the limbs ofja tree. A strange phenomenon was seen when a second tornado struck a section of Alabama and for a considerable distanceclose ly followed the path of the tirj-t, which had occurred about a week before. The most destructive single tornado in history was that which struck St. Louis, May 27, 1899, killing 306 persons and destroy ing 13 millions dollars' worth of property in half an hour. The recent series of tornadoes in the South took a slightly higher toll of life, in several separate storms occuring about the same time. Those Grand Jury Recommendattous Several Georgia newspapers have been asking why a grand jury, anyway? The grand jury, perhaps, has its place in our system of county government, but if any appreciable number of its recommendations are paid any attention to we have failed to observe it. Some officers resent these recommendations. The ex perienced officers feel they know their dully and how to perform it very much better than a bunch of men garnered from here and there, and while all committees .are shown every courtesy the "inspection” of the records is no more or less ti an a case of “but ting in.” If any recommendation of any grand jury in Morgan county for the past forty years has ever excited more than pass ing interest on the part of any official, we would like to be cited to the case. —Madison Madisoni an. The sheriff and ordinary of Catosa county who published their legal advertisements out side the county because of some criticisms of their acts by the local paper were defeated two to one in the election last week, so the Record scores a great victory. The trouble in most of these cases is that some officials forget that they are public servants, and think they are czars of the community.—Charlton County Herald.

US® ■ill WHEELER COUNTY EAGL^, AtAMO, GEORGIA DAIRY POINTS OF VALUE TO DAIRY FARMER Owners Advised to Increase Their Herds. "While we realize the value of milk as a food and know that there should be at least one cow for every five per sons In the state, we should not over look the opportunities provided In In creasing the number of cows In all sections of the state," suggests John A. Arey, dairy extension specialist at the North Carolina State college. “In nearly every part of the state there Is the opportunity to Increase the num ber of cows so that the cream and milk may be sold. Farm dairying of fers first a sure monthly cash Income; second, profitable employment for farm labor throughout the year; third, a good market for home-grown feeds; fourth, a system of farming that will check erosion and build up the fer tility of the land, and, fifth, cash re turns from pasture land that would otherwise be Idle.” These five points were also recom mended by committees of farmers at the regional agricultural meetings which have been held In the state, says Mr. Arey. For a person to en gage tn the selling of cream or milk, he should have a unit of not less than five cows, for the expense of collect ing either milk or cream from smaller herds Is rather heavy. To further develop the dairy indus try, Mr. Arey says the committee rec ommend feeding liberally of a bal anced ration made up almost entirely of home-grown feeds. Plenty of graz ing In the form of permanent pasture and cover crops to Inst throughout the year where possible, was suggested. A good cow will need from 1,800 to 2,000 pounds of grain for one year. Then, finally, good purebred dairy sires should be used so gradually build up the herd to a higher point of production and profit Wheat Inferior to Corn in Dairy Cows Ration? Ground wheat does not appear to be as good ns ground corn for feed ing dairy cows. Experiments seem to Indicate that wheat cannot replace corn pound for pound with equally good results from the standpoint of milk production. My own suggestion Is that the wheat should not exceed 50 per cent of the grain ratten and. better still, should not amount to more than 25 per cent. A grain mix ture of half wheat and half corn would likely give you as good or better results than either wheat or corn alone. A grain mixture includ ing bran Is preferable. Two parts corn, 1 part wheat and 1 part bran would be a good mixture. Even such a mixture Is likely to be low In pro tein and an even better formula would be to have 2 parts corn, 2 parts wheat, 1 part bran and 1 part cottonseed meal.—H. P. Davis, in the Nebraska Farmer. Treatment for Garget The way to handle garget Is. first, to remove the diseased cow from the herd In order to prevent the spread ol the disease to other animals. Milk dis eased cows only after the other cows have been milked and milk the dis eased quarter last. Do not milk on the door. Milk In a utensil and throw It outside the barn at a spot where the cows cannot have access to ft. Mas saging the Injured quarters helps. Camphorated oil or hot water can be used, although the rubbing is what does the most good. Milking affected quarters as often as possible, even as often as every three hours seems to help. General treatment consists of reduc ing the feed perhaps to the extent of cutting out all grain for a day or two, and giving the animal a laxative, pre ferably from half to three-quarters of a pound of epsom salts. —American Ag riculturist Beet Pulp for Dairy Cows Most dairymen think It Is necessary or at least desirable to soak beet pulp before feeding It to cows. Investiga torg-at the United States dairy experl ment station at Beltsville, Md., found that dry beet pulp gave ns good results ns the soaked beet pulp. In the exper iment the cows were watered twice n day. The beet pulp when fed either wet or dry was mixed with the grain ration. The ration containing the dry beet pulp was fully as palatable as that containing the wet pulp. The cows when fed the dry pulp ate ns much hay and gave ns much milk ns when fed the wet pulp. The gains in weight were a little greater when thc cows received the wet pulp than when they were fed dry pulp. '■ Care Helps Also th the winter season 1 find the cows do best when good care is added to a well mixed ration. I make certain that every cow in the herd has the ration on which she will give the most milk; but also see to It that they have plenty of water at the time they want it and are in every way com sortable. Worry over poor nutrition and cold stables and scant bedding requires energy that does not go into profits.—Arthur Frazier, in the Mich L^an Farmer.
