Dougherty to be Mapped.

The Dougherty county commits
sieners arc considering the advisa-
bility Of having a map Of the coun-
ty made. They believe an accurate
map, properly prepared, would ih
an almost invaluable addition to
the county's equipment. It is
proposed to have a map that would
show the exact location Of all the
roads and streams in the county,
and the principal farm houses. The
map would show what lots Of land
the roads run through, and would
be a great aid to thu county com
missioners in strengthening out the
roads Of the county. In fact, such
d map would be Of great value IN
many ways. 1t is stated that many
of the counties of the state arc hay
ing maps Of this kind made. For
some time Chairman N, r Tilt
has had this matter in mind, and
has been in correspondence with
well known firms in regard to the
proposition. An Atlanta concern
that is doing work Of this kind in
about thirty counties, makes an
offer to send force Of surveyors
into the county and get up a map
that will be accurate and reliable.
The cost to the county will be $500,
which is only about one-fourth OF
the entlre cOSI, ~ Niics iiAAi N-Nl'NV''

Brazil is sending to the United

learn the secret Of growing cotton.
The Brazilian government is of the
opinion that cotton can be success
fully grown in South America, il
the people of that section only
learn how to cultivate it. The hate
Senator Morgan, Of Alabama,
studied cotton for sixty-five years.
He used to say that no country on
earth could grow cotton in compc-
tition with the South Atlantic
states of the United States until it
had transplanted the Appalachian
chain of mountains and the Gulf
of Mexico. Brazil may send all
the experts she pleases, but the
South win continue to grow the
cotton until the mountains and the
gulf are moved.

THE NATIONAL DAIRY UNION SENDS
THE JOURNAL THE FOLLOWING
COMMUNICATION.

According 70 the last year DOCK ~
1.-THE Department 81 Agriculture,
There are 2t,72O,OO0 milch cows in
the United statcs, and these arc
worth SOP .0i5,OO0. The magni-
tudc Of the industry can perhaps bc
BEST understood when il is consid-
ered that these COWS produce yearly
about $1,000, 100000 worth Of
larry products.
! There il no other branch Of dr.
vcrsified agriculture 50 important
to the progress Of a community.
! The fertility IF the soil can best be
maintained by the liberal use of
barnyard manure, and the dairy
herd not only makes this possible,
but dairying is always more remu-
nerative than other branches Of
farming when properly carried on.
Dairying has made wonderful
progress since the advent of the
modern creamery, and the consum-
or Of butter has not only been BEN
Gifted by being furnished a more
wholesome and palitablc article Of
food, but the wife in the farm
house has been relieved Of the
|drudgery incident to making butter
ON the farm. Where formerly the
cream was ripcncd and churned
into butter under conditions not
conducive to fine quality in the
finished product, and in the ma
iority Of cases by unskillcd hands,
now the most Of the milk or cream
I il delivered to modern creamery
where conditions are suited to the
purpose Of making butter, and the
result has been a wonderful inn
provemcnt in the quality Of our
dairy products. AS the quality has
improved consumption has increas-
ell and the progress Of dairying has
been remarkable during the past
decade.
The pcrpetuity Of the country's
greatness depends upon increasing
the production Of farm products
from year To year, a result which
not only furnishes our people with
food, but maintains the prosperity
u our farming communities. In
crease in production can only come
Through improved methods Of agri-
culture and soil improvement.
When it is considered that the dairy
cow is the foundations for soil inn
provcment and farming prosperity,
her importance is best understood,
and interest in her should not be
confnel to her owner. She is an
important factor in the develop
mcnt and prosperity Of our country.
