Save Hay Now,

The Macon Telegraph calls atten-
ton to the fact that it is not too late
to save hay. Every one-horse farmer
can and should save some.
The protracted drouth in the Mid
die West cut off the hay and corn
crops The country's corn crop is fig
ured to be half a million bushels
short, and corn is advancing in price.
Hence feed crops will be high. But
no frost has killed the grass in this
state, and it is not too late to save
hay. Here in the Southwestern part
of the state where peas were sown
for hay the harvesting has been done
and great stacks of hay are to be
seen. But the one-horse farmer car
yet save hay for his mule and COW
and he will need it.

Value of Good Seed.

The following from the Breeders
Magazine will be of interest to South
Georgia farmers: THE governor of
Minnesota figures that good seed
corn may easily make 4 difference Of
five bushels to the acre, and by the
multiplication of factors he esti-
mates an addition to the states
wealth of $7,OOO,OOO in that way.

by the farmers to the sort of cotton
seed used in planting, especially in

DO not plant cotton after cotton,

Joy-Riding With Rich Farmers

From the Farm and Homestead.
The first week in September our
editor was in DeKalb county, in the
northern end of Illinois, taking part
in the Countrywide Conference there,
and riding about in the automobiles
of the rich farmers for hundred
miles or so in every direction.
1t is a corn, wheat and oats, hay
and forage growing region. Pigs
and cattle, dairy farms, cooperative
creameries and grain elevators, big
red barns and silos were everywhere
in sight.
Their seasons this year have been
good, and crop yields abundant.
Southern and Central Illinois have
been we'll nigh ruined by the long
summer drouth, but Northern Hi
nois has Jared better, and the farm
ers are in high feather.
The farmers in no region of the
world are Weather than the farm
ers of DeKalb county and the sur
rounding regions.
The automobile dealer in Ottawa,
in the adjoining county, has sold 137
Ford machines to farmers this year.
The farmers of the state own 40
coo automobiles, or more than hall
the whole number owned in Illinois.
Flow Did They Make Their Money?
Why are these North Illinois farm
ers literally rolling in wealth?
Oh, by raising all the things that
we neglect to raise in sufficient guam
titles in Georgia!
1t is not a one-crop farm region
Mark that!
Their fields are ripening with first
one and then another crop the whole
year around; while poultry, pigs,
cattle, milk and cream, butter and
cheese bring in money return
throughout the entire year.
In the natural order of things
there is no reason on earth why we
could not be doing the same things
in Georgia.

American Finds London Paying
8 Cents Each for Peaches
and 800 for Canteloupes.
Texas Farm Life Commission.

do not think there was much differ
ence in prices in June and July. Beef
sold, wholesale, in London al from
10 to IA cents a pound. Mutton Is
to is cents, hogs IA to IS cents, and
chickens u to Is cents per pound.
On the same days these meats retail
ed at more than double these prices.
The city officer who showed me
through the markets told me that all
products were sold by the retail deal
ers at double and often at more than
double the wholesale cost. l paid
thai day $1.20 for a cantelOupe,
which sold in the wholesale market
that morning at so cents. This mel
on was about four times as large as
the Rocky Ford melons of Texas, but
not nearly so sweet. l saw peaches
not nearly so coed nor as large as
Texas peaches selling at cents each,
or a dollar per dozen, but all such
products are imported.
The day I visited the Berlin mar
kets beef, mutton, veal and venisOn
retailed at 8 to 40 cents per pound,
Chickens so to so cents each, geese
10 cents per pound, cauliflower 10
cents per pound, lemons II cents
dozen, apples Is cents for seven, eggs
% cents a dozen and rice 10 cents a
pound.
Pure Food Officers Always Present.
A gentleman who lives in London
told me he paid 35 to so cents for
butter, 25 to 40 cents COR eggs, 25 to
40 cents for meat and rs cents to 81
for chickens.
In both Berlin and London pure
food officers of the city are ever pres
ent in the markets, and they see to it
that all foods offered for sale are
PURE and wholesome, that the stalls
are kept clean and sanitary, and they
investigate all complaints as to false
measures and weights or unfair deal
ings or irregularities of any kind. If
the dealer fails to run a clean and
sanitary place or proves unreliable
upon second offense he is ousted
from his place. In Berlin he would
have to quit business. BY this means
only persons of good character and
friendly habits of business deal in
food products.
