Planting 30 Acres
Os Pasture
Moultrie Observer.
Jas. Benenson, successful mer
chant, farmer and hog aaiser, is set
ting a good example to others who
are devoting attention to bogs, by
puttied in early bis crops for win
ter and spring pasturage. He will
plant thirty acres the next few days
in rape, rye, turnips, and in addi
tion will sow 20 acres io oats that he
expects to use exclusively for bog
pasture.*
Tee critical period with hogs is
winter and spring. Mr. Benenson
has found it too expensive to feed
hogs on corn, and likewise too ex
pensive to turn them out without
feed, or to turn them in a pasture
where there is only native grasses.
He has something like 300 Dead of
hogs, and he considers that be can
well afford to devote fifty acres to
them. These crops will carry the
bogs until the fields are open and
early corn and sorghum fire reedy
fov pasturage.

The War Situation.
After fighting for three weeks
in a continuouse battle line, almost
man to man, the European nation
is still engaged in the bloodiest
and most gigantic struggle the
world has ever known.
The telegraphic reports are that
the allies are making small advan
ces on the Germane an Austrians.
No man seems to have any idea
when the war will end.
Sunday the people of the United
States will respond to President
Wilson's proclamation that the cit

Voters Should Read
Since the Liberal is publishing
the proclamations of the governor,
it goes without saying that our
readers will be able to vote intelli
gently November 3rd, on the issues
explained.
Acts creating counties should
certainly be ratified.
Mr. J. W. Bailey, while in the
legislature, was not long in learn
ing that North and Middle Georgia,
not only on account of a lager pop
ulation; but on account of more
representatives from their-smaller
counties, secured most of the state’s
appropriations.
The Liberal certainly does not
want to give up any part of Miller
county’s noil; but we are in favor
of the larger counties giving up
portions of their territory for the
creation of counties, that
our section may be benefitted.
