Livestock Raising.

The Lee County Journal, Lees
burg, Ca, states that gradually
the farmers Of Lee county are COM
ing to realization Of the need 81
raising their own live stock. Espec-
tally is this true in regard to the
raising Of mules, which are needed
most of all in the work on the farm.
In the last few years the number Of
mules raised here hm, appreciably
increased. some farmers in the
county have raised practically all
the mules they needed to make
their crops. That the interestin this
important phase Of farm work il
growing is most encouraging one.
Live stock raising on Georgia farms
should embrace not only the raising
| of mules, but also hogs, cows, beef
cattle and horses. The need Of these
/ is felt, Of course, but the greatest
need Of oil this is that of mules and
horses, which have such a vital re-
Iation to the cultivation Of the crops.
1t is in this particular that the far
mers OF the county need to devote
themselves more diligently to stock
raising"
That which is true of Lee county
with regard to stock raising possibil-
tiles is true of practically every por-
ton Of the Southeast. There is nc
reason why the Southeast cannot
raise all the livestock that it needs
and have a large surplus to market
in other sections. There are many
reasons why this can be made an
exceedingly profitable one. Climatic
conditDns in the Southeast are such
that the growing season offood crops
for livestock is long and many va
rietes of these crops can be grown
There are no rigorous winterf when
livestock must be housed continu-
ally and fed at considerable expense
The possibilities for livestock rails
ing in the southeastinciudin ready
markets, make the industry an in
viting one for people OF other sec.
tions as well as for those already
here.
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1913-05-22

From reports received from many
sections az the county the farmers
81 Lee county have reason to ex-
pect a good crop year. There are
so many things that enter into the
making Of good crop in the way
of favorable seasons Of rain and 9TH
err things that predicting the crop is
a difficult thing.
SO far the seasons have been un-
favorable in that there wastoo much
rain early in the season and there
has been too little Of late. But
neither OF these conditions seem to
have been so marked as to affect
hopeless any farmer in the county.
Too much wet weather undoubtedly
did harm. Too much dry weather
has been doing harm lately. But
the farmers Of the county are never
theless in very good shape.
The oats crop is now being har-
vested. It is not as large as would
have been grown under more favor
able seasons. But it is a good crop,
and it comes in the time when the
farmers Of the county need it..
Larger oats crops and corn crops
would help the farmers of Lee coun-
ty very much.
The recent dry weather has not
hart corn as badly as it has cotton.
But both crops should rally under
more favorable conditions. Lee
county farmers should yet make a
good crop of cotton and q good crop
of corn this year. In fact, the most
aggressive and conscientious far
mers don't worry about the seasons
so much as they do about ,loing
their work right. And these far
mers hardly ever have a bad crop
year.

Lee County's Growth For Past
Year Summarized.
Continued from Pa Q ]

true, as every farm in Lee county
.of any size has its artesian well,
while there are several firms in Lee
county that are kept bnsy constantly
drilling new W Ills. This has proved
to be an important feature in con
serving the nealth Of the people Of
the county and in making Lee
county's health record most excel
lent.
General improvements throughout
lee county received their full share
Of attention during 1912. The al
ready fine roads were not neglected,
but we're given additional work that
has placed them in still better con
dition, while the advantages afford
ed by these roads are available now
to every section Of the county The
sand-clay road has been brought no
nearer perfection in any. part OF
the state than in Lee county. With
numerous steel bridges spanning
every stream in the county, the loss
from the recent freshets was re-
duced to a very small sum.
Lee county has a record in regard
to good roads that no other county
in the state can boast Of. In pro-
portion to its population and to its
property value, there is doubtless
no other county in the state that has
achieved SO much in the way OF
good roads and modern bridges
This has served to reduce the tax
rate and o,give the people pros.
p rity in no mean degree. Under
the county changing system tn"
work on the roads is carried on
throughout the entire year, so that
Lee county's roads are being con
stantly improved.
Probably at-no time throughout
its entire history ~ a county, which
is one of the oldest in the state, has
Lee county known such general
revival Of interest and enthusiasm
in its own develapement as recent
ly. Growth is manifested every
where throughout the county. Tn
fortunate trade conditions that have
affected the entire county have had
but. little effect here. The growth
If the county has been steady and
sure for many years past.
The present year is going to prove
a record breaker fer Lee county in
the way of general growth and ed
vaneement. This can be clear y d.s-
cerned even this early in the year.
The year has started out with a
rush in all lines of general develop
ment. The building of new homes
may be witnessed in every section
Of the county. During approach
ing summer this development will
continue even more rapidly than
now. It is very safe to say thai
when the present year comes to a
close Lee county viii have passed
through one of the most prosper
nus years in its history

Newspapers Stock In Trade.

Advertising publicity is what a
newspaper has to sell. 1t is as much
a commodity marked with a price
as the wares in dry goods store.
Yet thousands Of citizen who would
not think Of asking merchant to
give them as much as a necktie have
no conjunction in asking that an
advertisement be given them by a
newspaper. The thought does not
i even enter their heads that every
inch Of space so given, in addition
to providing them the most valuable
kind Of service, actually costs the
newspaper in editorial labor, in
composition, in metal in ink, in
stereotypinP, in printing, etc, a
very definite sum Of money.
The Free Press, like every other
Milwaukee paper, isliberal in giving
Of its space to further the cause Of
philantrophic, public and other in
stitutions, enterprises and causes
where the object is non-commercial
and conducive to public welfare.
In return it expects only apprcci-
ation-appreciation Of the fact that
the press is giving its most costly
commodity, a service so VALUABLE
that the beneficaries could not afford
to buy it and without which their
institutions, enterprise or cause
could not exist. service which is
always made at sacrafce TO the
newscolumns and at an actual ex-
pense,
It expects recognition Of the fact
that while halls, theatres, and other
public places, bill posters and all
the other services enlisted in the
cause demand compensation with
but few exceptions, it is the news
paper that gives its wares free for
the sake of the public good.
Yet in the vast majority of cases
this generous service is blissfully
taken for granted and the papers
liberality abused. Thxt which is
purely a favor is accepted as a mat
ter of course, and what should be
requests are couched as demands.
When the courtesy has been per-
formed there is rarely appreciation,
and more often dissatisfaction
generally silence.
The result in many other cities
has been that a price has been put
upon every kind of publicity, no.
matter what its obiect-evea upon
the church notice. In those cities
we warrant such favors as the press
bestows are properly appreciated. Il
