conclusion that the only way to force
Gotch into a match with the Pole was
To offer him certain sum for his SER

REAL PITCHERS.
Observation-Disclosures:

Grover Cleveland Alexander of the

pitcher who has landed in the big

tho National league.
Robert Harmon is another 1911 star.
He was n good man last year, but
lacked control, and was booked for
the minor leagues. When Chance
heard that Bresnahan had intended
sending Harmon to the minors he put
in n claim for the youngster. Chances
bid made Roger think twice. and he
decided to retain Harmon. Bob is
now one of the star right handlers Of
the game.

tried with the Boston Americans some
years ago and turned back to the minor

Cardinals the last time he pitched in

Most men who now raise sheep and
those who are about TO make start
want breed that will produce both good
mutton and good wool-a rather difficult
combination.
There are some breeds. however that
produce both, but like the dual COW they
are not in favor with the men who be-
Iieve that one must breed for milk and
butter, or for beef, and not for all.
The following breeds of sheep are prob
ably better fitted by nature and improve
ment to produce wool and mutton:
The shropshires are much thought OF
throughout the west. The ewes weigh
from l25 to 1870 pounds. are very early ma
turing, producing very excellent carcasses.
and shearing from to 10 pounds per
head.
The Hampshires are large sheep, not
quite so early maturing, but producing
very large lambs at an early age. They
shear Approximately the same as Shrop-
shires.
The oxford are very similar 70 the
Hampshires in size and character.
The Southdown is particularly mutton
breed, producing fleece somewhat light

SHEEP GROWERS ANXIOUS
TO KNOW THE BEST BREED

er than the breeds mentioned above, but
nevertheless producing good fleece and a
most excellent carcass of mutton.
The Dorsets, when mature, weigh from
$50 to $50 pounds, and are very prolific.
They shear fleece of medium weight,
and yield a good carcass They are par
ticularly valuable because Of their ex-
treme -prolihcacy, producing frequently
three times in two years.
The RaInbouillettes and Delaine Meri-
nos are fine wool sheep. and produce
fIeeces which viii yield from 10 to 16
pounds per head. They also produce good
carcasses of mutton; however. more en-
phasis has been placed upon the fleece In
the case of these two breeds than in
the breeds mentioned above.
The greatest difference between the
Rambouillette and the Delaine Merino
is the greater size of the former.
The Cotswold Lincoln and Lester are
known as the long-wooled breeds, produc-
ing feeces Weighing from 5 to u pounds,
and producing good carcasses before the
lambs reach the age of one year. These
three breeds are comparatively large.
But breed is not everything IN the Sc
lection of breeding rams and ewes After
one has made up his mind as to the breed

Perhaps the most important feature in
building Waycross lies in the fact that
the farm lands adjoining and surround
ing the city have been rapidly developed.
No city can grow from country village
of less than 5000 citizens to a modern
city of Il, ass, unless 1t be a manufactur-
ing center. or surrounded by good
agricultural country, and these lands
must be cultivated. While Waycross has
a number of manufactures. it depends
largely on the farmers for it's trade.
In the development Of the farm lands
in Ware county, Geo. w. Deem is the
recognized leader and pioneer. 1t is gen.
orally known that Senator Deem is the
best authority on farm lands in the
South. He has devoted years of hard
work and expended thousands upon thou
sands of dollars in the development of
Ware County farm lands.
About twelve months ago Mr.. Deem cut
UP 10000 acre tract of land lying west
of Waycross. into small farms and offer
ed 1t on easy payments to Industrious
farmers. This tract is known as Deem
wood Farms" The demand was strong
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1911-01-24
WARE COUNTY OFFERS GREAT
OPPORTUNITIES TO FARMERS

and sales SO rapid that the sale on this
tract closed October /. 1910. Where virgin
forests stood a year ago modern farm
houses, more than 100 in number, are
now seen. The farmers are all well
pleased, happy and contented. And why
shouldn't they be, when they can raise
three crops a year on their lands?
These lands are fertile and productive.
While they are level, they are rolling
enough to permit of a good natural
drainage. They are free of stones and
rocks, which interfere with farming.
Deenwood Farms having been rapidly
sold and leaving still a great demand
among farmers for more such land, SEN
ator Deem put on this fall another tract
of $4,000 acres, lying Immediately south
of Waycross. which is pronounced by
land experts to be the finest body of
colony lands for farming and trucking
ever offered in the South. The new tract
is called "Deen Land Farms" 1t has
only been on the market two months, but
is being taken very rapidly. Inquiries
are pouring in from everywhere and it
is safe to predict the final sale of every
piece of this within few months.
When one compares the hills of some
sections with the level fertile soils of
South Georgia, he is forced to wonder
why every farmer does not own home
in the level country. In South Georgia
every foot of the land is cultivated and
none given up to terraces, hills or wash
outs.
Senator Deem will be glad to mail to
Journal readers handsome little Booklet
describing farming in Ware County and
telling about their easy payment plan
by which they are assisting farmers to
own their homes. When writing be sure
to address Farm Department, Deem Real
ty and Improvement Co, Waycross, Ga
