-> •*- .• ‘
planning for better market condi
tions than it now appears we are
facing, with a big crop of peanuts
and a low and very discouraging
market.
While the peanuts have develop (
ed into so many different or diver
sified products, which was reasons
bly expected to increase the demand
but unlocked for conditions is a
Learier to the prices.
The present outlook for the
marketing of this year’s crop of
pranuts is.serious enough to com
mand every peanut grower that
can possibly do so to attend the
meeting at Albany and co-operate
in foimulating p|ans that will pro
tect the growers against squeezing i
markets.
Many surprising facts will be
presented that we believe will
bring such responsive co operation
that will Im good for all peanut
growers and mean so much for
Georgia.
Let me bag that every peanut
grower, eveiy citizen loyal to Geor
gia’s prosperity and friend to hu
manity join in boosting the meeting
and help ue to get the people, and
it will be interesting, and for the
good of all.
Will have many distinguished
people to talk, on the point. Don’t
miss the peanut information that
will improve our conditions and
help everybody.

COLQUITT, GEORGIA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1920
Shows Labor
Various Crops
Require
The Approximate amount of la-;
bor required to raise some of the
more imooitant crops has heen,q
determined by recent farm studies
cdMimfSH by the office, of ftirmj
ment of agriculture. (
The results show that requires (
the work of one man and one horse (
to out, cure and harvest an acre of
hay.
I Oat, wheat, barley, rye, buck
wheat and millet consume more
labor; under normal conditions
these grains require the labor of a
man for 2 days and for the hors ■
I
3 days.
J (
Corn jor the silo in the Central
States consumes 3 days of man la
bor and 5.5 days of horse work.
Tobacco in Kentucky uses 35
days of man labor against 8 days
I
for the farm horse.
Onions, as determined through
| studies in Ohio, sold in bunches, '
top the list of vegetables in the
amount of man labor they require.
They use 149 days of many work,
and only 10 of the horse.
Beets and carrots, also sold in
bunches, cone next, with 82 man
days to each acre and 8 days’ horse
labor.
It is interesting to note that Jbe
horse, in the Eastern States, re
quires 12 ten hour days per year
from hie master to care for him
and he contributes only three
quarters of one day to bis own up
keep-hauling feed, etc. Dairy
cows -need 18 days from the man
and two days labor from his horse
each year.
The figures are given in Farm
er’s Bulletin 113 C, to aid the farm
er in an analysis of his business
They will be netful in assisting
the farm operator to estimate bis
labor needs next season.
Messrs W. E. and B. B. Lane,
successful planters from the Twi

Many Aligators
Are Destroyed
Monday afternoon Mr. J. A.
Sheffield was carrying abound in
his hand a small pan containing
elevt’ja eggs, and was asking hie
friends, in a quiet way, if they
wanted to buy them.
Ffti sold the eggs three or four
different jimes, but .when the pur
chasers would notice the size of
ggt.. ask what kind they were and
were: informed that they were ali
gatdy eggs, they would immediately
refua to take them.
. Sheffield found a nest re-'
cenw containing tweqtv-seven
gat'>| eggs winch heat once pro
csfdfd to destroy. He and his
also caught and killed
eigTtyoung nlieators during the
yeari
year Mr. Sheffield lost a
ver.’|fine sow, weiging two or
tbn t hundred pounds, and some
so when he found the ga
‘or’kjleii he found, upon ex uni.
oktitAi, some very large loin and
bac&bones, which he is al uost
stirs were those of his sow.
■1 here is evidently gn extra large
alig t|or in the den, which is in a
port not vpjy far from Mr. Shes-:
tier r- home. We hope the es
teemed gentleman will succeed in
f
ai o, but had no one to help him ■
or no gun to shoot him with, so he
decided it would be safer to wait a
while.
