GRADING UP PINEY WOODS CAT
F. G. W., Norman Park, Ca, writes: I
have 70 head of piney woods cattle
that / want a full blooded bull to breed
up with. What do You consider the best
breed for this purpose? 1 also have 100
head of hogs that / want good boar
for. What breed do you recommend?
so -
Probably the best type of beef sire for
you to secure to grade up your native
piney woods cattle would be a Hereford
This breed is one of the best established
of the beef types and has done well
wherever tried IN Georgia. they are
good rustlers and very attractive in APP
pearence. They have probably not quite
so much girth -as the Shortherns, but
on account OF our pastures being some
what shorter than those in some sec
lions of the country. they will possibly
do better than heavier or larger boned
animal They have the advantage of
great prepotency and stamp their char
acteristics on their offspring i'm most
satisfactory manner. You should re-
member of course that a Hereford bull
brought north OF the tick quarantine line
will not survive for any length of time
if turned out on tick-infested pastures.
You should endeavor to secure an animal
that has been bred in the south and has
been exposed to tick fever. OF course,
an ideal method is to fence your pas
lures up and get rid of the ticks, which
you can do in a comparatively short
time and then you will not need to wor-
~ about losing improved strains Of ami
mails brought into grade up your native

We, believe the Tamworth is one of
the best hogs for use in your section of
the state. 1t is a grazing breed. long

They are red in color. prepotent. pro-
life and fine grazers. They are espe-
cially well adapted for the production
of pork on grazing crops which is the
cheapest way to make it in Georgiai and
they will nick well with your native cat

OPEN bitches VERSUS DRAIN

OPEN bitches VERSUS DRAIN
TILE.
l. ]. s.. Decatur, Ga, writes: I have
about fifteen acres of bottom land which
has been ditched for a number of years
but find them very much in the way
and desire to blind them. / am think
ing OF using tile for the purpose. and
wish TO know If you think this is the
proper thing TO use. Where can tile be
secured?
You are acting very wisely in determin-
ing TO put tile drain on your land. I'm
glazed clay tile or cement tile will
answer very we'll. Machines can be pur-
chased for the manufacture of cement
tile and you can make them at home
or possibly such machines can be found
in the vicinity of the city where you
reside. A local advertisement might
bring one to light. You can purchase
the unglazed tile from any pottery con-
Germ doing business in the state. 1 can
not give you the exact address of these
but would suggest that you correspond
with the commercial or industrial repre-
sentatives of the different railroads cen
tering in Atlanta. They will be pleased
to give you this information; then by
corresponding with the various firms, you
may be able to secure a better price.
In putting in drains II is important
that you secure a uniform fall and that
you put them close enough to carry on
the surplus water. Putting down tile
will enable you to cultivate the land to
greater advantage and you will be rid
OF an open ditch forever, for if the tile
are laid properly they win last for a
lifetime. The cost Of thing is profile
NAUTICAL as il win depend on what you
have to pay for the tile and the. character
OF labor you use. Personally, we believe
il always advisable to have survey
made and 10 have the tile put down under
competent supervision. Do not attempt
to substitute anything for tile. ~

Albany, Ga, July 10.-From having
been a drug on the market a few
days ago, cantaloupes have suddenly
sprung into great demand and those
local growers who have any of the
fruit remaining are hoping for a gar
rison finish Of the season which large
ly will wipe out the threatened finan-
cial deficit. Only a few days ago re-
turns from some cars shipped We're
barely sufficient to pay freight charg
es. Two Doughterty county growers
who shipped a car of beautiful fruit
received a check for IS cents, the net

rience account. Some growers still
have a good deal of fruit on the vines.
and are making desperate efforts to
get it to market.

CARRIERS TO GET $lOO
INCREASE In SALARY
Rural Mail Salary Raised
From 5000 to $1,000

Americus rural mail carriers re-
joiced yesterday in the announcement
coming from headquarters at WASH
ington to the effect that the R. F. d.
salary was to be increased from $500
to $1,000 for the current fiscal year.
The news was quite unexpected but
none the less appreciated by these
sturdy "men of letters"
All of the 10000 rural free delivery
carriers in the United States are to
receive salary increases as the result
of an order issued today by Postmast-
er General Hitchcock. The order pro-
vides for the disbursements during the
current fiscal year of $4,000,00O..
This is an increase of $100 over the
present salary of 5000 for all carriers
on standard routes with proportionate
increase on the shorter routes.
Congress voted last session for the
expenditure of this extra $4,000,000 but
left it to the discretion of the Post
master General as to how much of It
should be expended Mr. Hitchcock
decided to authorize the expenditure
of the full amount
His desire to compensate the car
riers for any burden which may be
placed on them if the parcel post sys-
TEN he has recommended for rural
routes is approved by Congress Was
the important consideration Mr.. Hitch
cock declared, which led him to make
the authorization.
The rural delivery system was start
ed fifteen years ago with SO carriers,
who were paid 5000 a year. On July
1 there were Al, ,562 carriers, their ag-
gregate salaries being $35,793OOO

ALL SIDES ARE READY
FOR SENATORIAL SCRAP
First Ballot to Be Taken To-
day.

Atlanta. July 10.-It is claimed o.
day that with the field against Hoke
Smith. the vote will be 124 against
him, out of possible 22S 1t is ac-
knowledged that ne will have his trou-
bles in the Senate Here the Smith
men claim that they will break even,
while they state that they will have
from fifteen to thirty majority in the
house.
The entrance of Thomas E. Watson
has stirred up considerable interest,
and speculation is rife as to the size
OF the vote he will get. About twenty
votes are what his supporters claim
at the present. with Pleasant A. Sto-
wallis strength placed at q and Judge
w A. Coyington's at 80.
The battle will center around an ef-
| fort to prevent Hoke Smith from be-
ing named to the place on the first
! ballots or so and some other man fla
ally may represent Georgia in the
highest law making body of the land,
according to those we'll informed on
the situation.
There is no doubt that Smith will
register the strongest vote II the Gen

A. Covington, Pleasant Stovall and the
interests lined up with Thomas Wat

senator will be taken at noon Tues
day AT least two of the five candi-
dates for the place claim they will be
elected on this ballot, but despite these
claims. others predict that the contest
may be long drawn out
Unlike many previous campaigns in
Georgia, the present senatorial contest
has been almost totally lacking in per-
sonal animosities.
Not until after he was inaugurated
as governor did Governor Smith act
ually announce that he was a candi-
date for the senatorial toga and since
that time the contest has resolved it.

tions.
The leaders in the anti-Smith fac
ton have been advocating a senatorial
primary, but a quietus was put on this
movement early last week when Presi-

under the laws the legislature must
proceed in the old-fashioned manner 10

ed that Congressman William G. Brant-
ley also will be a candidate
The first ballot for senator will be
taken separately in the two houses of
the legislature Tuesday and the first
joint ballot will be taken on Wednes-
day. There are A votes in the senate
