English Hens Visit America

In the current issue Of the Farm
and Fireside appears a report of an
egg-laying contest recently terminal
ed in this country One of the most
interesting passages follows:
The really sensational feature of
the contest thus far is the wonderful
record made by the pen of S. c.
White Leghorns entered in the con-
test by an English poultryman. This
pen, during the six months, laid
1924 eggs, which is 1873 eggs more
than the next best pen laid, and an
of AIS eggs per hen more
than the average production per hen,
of all the hens in the contest.
1.-The question naturally arises,
Why has this English pen so far
outdistanced our American pens?
There must be a reason. When ten
birds, after travelling on ocean and
land for two weeks, much of the
time without feed or water, can start
right in and make a record of this

Payley attended, and when she tried
to patronize Mrs. Singer with her
compliments that clever infghter

Dry of the German to her. That
made Mrs. Payley so mad that the
next month she invited the state pres
ident of the Federation of Women's
Clubs to visit her, and didn't ask
Mrs. Singer to the tea. The next
week Mrs. Singer organized a Coun-
try Club. 1t only consisted of two
room pavilion in which picnics could
be held and dances could be pulled
off, with long intermissions for the
extractions of slivers from the feet
But it was just as easy to talk about
you while you were in town and to
refer to a hushed and exclusive man
ner as if it cost a million, and when
Mrs. Payiey realized tLat she could

In the August American Magazine
George Fitch, the Peoria, H., hui

warfare between the Payleys and the
Singers, the two families in the town
which put on most airs" Follow

Mrs Payley, having been on the
ground a long time, had fortified it,
of course, and was president of all
the clubs. But inside of a month
Mrs. Singer fanked her position. She
declined being a busy woman, and
organized a flower mission. It's OBJ
ject was to distribute flowers to the
sick and needy, who generally con-
sisted of Pat Ryan. Pat was nearly
in flowers that year, being
good ratured, and as the work Of
collecting said flowers involved a

REMEDY GUARANTEED TO CURE

For days ana weeks and months and
years
The legislators have with fears
And tremblings tried to fix a way
By which they could the teachers pay,
But somehow they come always last
At least, that's been true in the past.
The cash is always out of reach
When time to pay off those who
teach.
Now, they are working for the state
Same as those who don't have to
wait.
Why not sometimes reverse the
thing,
And let them get right "in the ring?"
Let me right here suggest a plan
BY which the sOlons, every man,
Can help to get the matter straight
Simply agree for his pay to wait.
Put yourself in the teachefs shoes
And wait for months your pay to use.
If you'll do this III guarantee
That you will find remedee.
This seems to me a simple thing,
Yet something l am sure will bring
The matter right up to your door
AS you nave not seen IL before.
This is, l think, not only right,
But men, you know, should be polite.
Stand back and pay the ladies first
If treasures come to the worst,
For ladies teach for salaries small
They need it now and need it all
Come on, now, boys, and honor
bright"
For one time treat the ladies right.
Another wrong, shame on our state,
The way the teachers salaries rate
Some women with more sense than
men
Must teach for only four times ten,
While mans pay is three times that
length
Because he has more bull dog
strength.
When men correctly use their brain
This situation won't remain.

An Old Field School.

Judge Frank Parks ''old field
school" is in session. 1t is probably
the only institution of its kind in the
world, and its home is in Worth
county. The school is the idea OF
Judge Frank Park of the Albany cir
cult, and its purpose is to give men
who have not had the advantages
Of an education a chance to study
the elementary branches without the
embarrassment of attending a public
school with children,
The school is held in the summer
time, when the weather is good, af-
ter the crops are laid by and the
farmers have leisure time Books
and tuition are free and Judge Park
has the cooperation of the county
school authorities.
The first term of this school was
held four years ago and it proved
popular at once. The Worth county
court house was used and the schol-
ars who came from a distance
brought their dinners and spent the
day. Each year the school has grown
more popular, and it is now being
held in a different community each
term in order that all sections of the
may get the benefit of it. The
school this year is being held in
country church community. 1t has
been in session two weeks, and will
continue from two to six weeks long
er. Two competent instructors are
in charge. Already the attendance
numbers over ninety and the church
building has overlooked, many of the
students sitting on logs underneath
he pines near the church. Only the
Misunderstanding, writ
ng and arithmetic-are taught, and
he pupils range in age from ten to
sixty years. Webster's lue-back |
peller is the principal book used.
The students come on horseback,
n buggies, wagons and a-foot; come |
.arly, and stay all day. Each days
session closes with a big spelling
match, and the sight of the ninety
in line-old men, young
men, youths and children-is as
triking as it is original.
The News lifts its hat to Judge
Park as unique but at the same
ime a practical humanitarian and

kind there must be something more
than luck behind it.
The owner of this pen states that
every one of the ten pullets in the
pen was bred from female with a
high record for egg production and
sired by a male out of a high-pro-
ducing hen. Therein seems to lie
the secret of the wonderful record
which this pen is making.
There can be no doubt but that
the average American poultry breed
err, during the past few years, has
been paying so much attention to the
color of feathers and show records
that he has lost sight of the more
important matter of egg production.
One thing is certain, promiscuous
and careless breeding will never en-
able the pOultrymen of this country
to make any progress in egg produc-
ton. Careful breeding and selection
must be practiced if progress is to
be made"

or slaughtered, $4,000. We give
merely the round numbers.
But distribute these large totals
among our 2,610, 900 people and here
is the home-rafsed meat supply per
person:
Milk, three-fifths of a pint per
day.
Butter, two-ffths of an ounce per
day.
Poultry, one-tenth of a fowl per
week.
Eggs, nearly two per week.
Beef, one-twelfth of a carcass per
year.
Pork, two-fifths of hog per year.
Mutton, one-hundredth of a
sheep or goat per year.
''Of course, with this meageT sup
ply of home-raised food we must
let go a large part of our wealth
every year-a kings ransom indeed
for meat supplies.
For instance, in 1910 we bought
nearly 100000 pounds of cheese
from Wisconsin alone. We made for
ourselves just 399 pounds.
I'm 1909 we had in Georgia Co.,
900 fewer cattle, 10000 fewer hogs
and 3IS,0O0 fewer sheep than we
had so wears ago.
But we had nearly four times as
many mouths to fill.
During the last census period
Georgia gained 20 per cent in the
number of cattle.
But sixteen counties suffered a
decrease: Chatham, 40 per cent;
Fulton, % per cent; Glascock, "a per
cent; Muscogee, II per cent, and
Taylor, 20 per cent"
The Madisonian reproduces these
articles for the sole purpose of try
ing to interest our farmers in the
all important matter of raising home
supplies. 1t is time to call halt in
the all-cOtton craze. 1t will Bank
rupr Georgia if we persist in il very
much longer.

Raising Home Supplies
from the Madisonian.


Commenting further on the Madi-
sonian's article on the freak (?)
farmer of Oconee the Enterprise
says:
The logic of the Madisonian edi-
tor is clear and indisputable. If our
farmers would only break away from
the all-cotton propaganda no country
or section in this vast universe could
compete or surpass the South in fer
tility of soil, variety of production.
or richness of possibilities. Indeed,
no section is so bountifully nature
favored as is Georgia and her sister
states surrounding, especially Geor-
gia. Everything needful for both
man and beast can be-has BEEN
successfully produced by her soil.
After all is said and done, no Tev-
err, for the benefit and encouragement
of the farmer it rests finally with
him to bring about an equable condi-
ton of farming operations, and the
indications Enthusiastically point to the
fact that he is now awaking to a
realization that the breakers are just
afead-and oblivion just a little
further away-for any farmer who
continues to buy dollar corn with cot
ton which costs him at least nine
cents to produce and which he is
forced to sell for a profit that is al
most nil.
This is the exact situation exist
ing today all over the state, and this
precarious state of affairs will con-
tinue to exist until all home needfuls
is produced by Georgia farmers on
Georgia farms Point out the farm
err who Elves at home and boards at
the same place" and we will show
you a farmer who not only does not
have to ask for credit or loan, but
has money to advance to his less
provident neighbor. Summarized
briefly; raise your own supplies
be your own banker. If the former
suggestion is religiously adhered to
the latter result will be a natural
consequence.
The man who raises his own sup
plies, making cotton side issue
surpIus-is in position to practically
dictate the price to be paid him for
his fieecy staple, and if he has an
everplus of foodstuffs, we'll and good,
there will be opened to him a ready
market at living prices for all he
can produce of corn, hay, oats and
wheat
Wake up, Mr.. Farmer; golden
harvest dawn is upon us; grasp the
extended opportunity, and happily
share in the resultant shekefs that
are due to shower when every farm
er produces his own supplies at home
and, instead of having to buy, has
something to sell.
Then will the South come into its
own.

The Mexican Situation.

Mexico is likely to command the
attention of the American people for
the next few weeks in greater meas
ure than has been the case at any
time since the Huerta government
got control of the governmental ma
chinery at the capital of the repub-
lie. This will be due to the summons
by the president of Ambassador
Wilson, calling that official to Wash
ington for conference on the affairs
in the border republic. No matter
how much of calmness and delibera-
ton may exist in this country, it is
reasonably sure that there will be a
marked degree of excitement and of
expression in Mexico. Public senti-
ment there is already at a tense
stage. The distrust of hostilities
with the United States entertained
by a large part of the common people
will impel the eXcitable Latin-Amer-
leans to more intense feeling than
exists now. Many of them will rush
to the conclusion that Ambassador
Wilson's journey to Washington is
the first step in a programme OF
American intervention, and the re-
suit of such a state of feeling in
Mexico is not difficult to foresee
That portion of the republic under
control of Huerta will seethe with
excitement, and in all probability
there will be scarcely less of agita
ton in the sections opposing Huerta
1t is a condition that may presage de
velopments that will make for NOR,
unanimity of feeling on the part O
Mexicans-vhostile to and fighting
each other now, but equally ready t
manifest hostility to Americans.
There is reason to believe an
hope that the administration a
Washington has the Mexican situs
ton well in hand, and that the sun
mons 10 Ambassador Wilson by n
means portends Intervention by I'll
United States; that the move is OF
based on a tactful desire TO avoid s
rious complications.
All Americans ought to hope tn
the United States can avoid interye
ton, but oftentimes all of US mu
concede that in the light of develo
ments the past two years there
reason to believe that in the Ia
analysis Intervention is what W
come.
