Especial Dispatch to The Journal
vALDOSTA. Ca, April 3.-The poul-
try business Of this section is getting
to be enormous. One poultry farm here
received orders yesterday from eight
different states and during the past
few weeks orders have been filled from
Is states. This city is consuming about
1000 or 5000 dozen eggs a week and
nearly all of them are coming from the
local poultry yards and from the rural
districts. Besides the local demand
thousands of dozens of eggs are being
shipped to Savannah, Jacksonville, Tam
pa and the big hotels on the east coast
Of Florida
The ice cream parlors alone in Val
dosta consume more than 1000 dozen
eggs a week, while the bakeries take
nearly 1000 more dozen.
The vast consumption of eggs and
poultry here is due to the fact that
many people are raising chickens and
are eating chickens in the place Of beef
and names, which have gotten so high
that ordinary people can hardly AFFORD
them. In spite of the enormous receipts
Of eggs and chickens the prices remain
high. Eggs are bringing rs cents doz-
en- right along. while chickens are bring
ing from 40 to go cents. The farmers
say there is good money in chickens and
eggs at these prices.

(special pispatch TO The Journals

Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)
QUITMAN, Ca, April 3.-President
Lawson Z. Brown, of the Georgia
Farmers union, addressed the citizens
of Wilkinson county at the court house
Monday and made quite an impression
on the citizens as to the Importance
Of cooperation of all the farmers.
He gave a warning as to the lower
class of emigrants who were being sent
to Georgia and pleaded that every
farmer join the Farmers union and
help perfect plans to keep them out Of
the state. He also urged the press to
advocate the passage of a general parcel
post bill, and bill to prohibit gam
bling in farm products. He urged the
farmers to raise more hog and homi-
n.y. and plant less cotton and make
the country home more attractive and
keep the boys and girls on the farm.
After the public address President
Brown met the members of the union in
executive session and reorganized five
locals, and his visit will do much to
awaken a more lively interest in the
Farmers union in the county.
