Washington. Nobody has been able to
trace the report to its source, but it
vas openly stated by several Fielder
men at Macon.
On the other hand there are reports
that a federal judgeship will be given
Fielder in exchange for his timely
dropping out of the race. There had
previously been talk of politely retir-
ing Judge Emory Speer of the South
ern circuit, by creating an associate
judgeship there, at the same salary as
the judge, and possibly Fielder might
get this, as it is in his home territory.
Then Judge W. T. Newman, of the
Northern district has reached the
age where he can retire on full pay
for life if he desires, and this might
leave the desired opening for the Ma
con eX-candidate.

plies"
When a man launches out in the
live stock business prosperity follows
in his footsteps and progress is de-
picted on every side. Land that made
half bale of cotton per acre soon
gets up to bale per acre. Land that
made twenty bushels Of corn goes uD
! to fifty bushels. Land that was too
poor to start difficulty on is planted
to cowpeas, velvet beans and other
legumes. Land that was gray and
barren in winter gets a cover crop OF
some kind and is improved instead OF
allowed to deteriorate.
Wherever it is possible the farmers
ought to get together in a cooperative
way and start a new crusade for the
new kind of farming. 1t will insure
for the entire community unbrokeh
success.
The introduction of few head Of
high grade is desirable where the cat
tie tick is being kept in check, but
everywhere we need more cattle Of
some kind. With the luxuriant growth
of grass, with the splendid summer
hay crop, like cowpeas and velvet
beans, we ought to have twice the
amount of cattle we now have. With
peanuts, sorghum, cowpeas and vel
vet beans for hogs, our population Of
this animal ought to be quadrupled.
We have opportunities in this direc-
ton and no progressive farmer ought
to be found without plenty Of hogs and
cattle.

Shells From German Ships Made Hits;
But British TarS Cast Them Into Sea

London, Sept. 4-The Harwich cor
respondent of the Telegraph gives
interviews with wounded sailors, and
speaks of the plucky way in which the
English handled live shells. Many of
the German shells which made hits,
it appears, did not burst.
There were five shells in the boiler
of one of the destroyers," he quotes
one of the sailors as saying, and if
one had burst it would have been
all up with the ship"
What did you do with them?" was
asked.
oh, just SHE'D them overheard.
There was no room for such rubbish
aboard our yacht"
In another instance, the correspond
ent says, it is related that a shell
fell on British ship, and as there
vas no immediate explosion the sail
ors rushed at it and pushed it into the
sea with their naked hands.
The Germans also showed consid-
cradle grit, it is declared, on one of
the cruisers which was going down,
with decks afame and the flag and

times as much for meat as we ought
to be paying-or in other words We
ought to be growing our own meat.
Live stock farming in this section
has been handicapped heretofore by
several factors one among which is
the fact that a score of years ago it
was not always easy to find a ready
market for live stock and then the
price was not so good. However, this
condition has been virtually obliter
ated and the outlook now is that for
the next two decades at least we may
expect certainly good prices possibly
higher prices than at present.
If you will take a casual look into
some of the up-to-date stores to-day
you will see new fall and winter shoes
in stock priced as high as $40. These
real leather shoes are simply high be-
cause of the supply and demand in
leather goods. Hides are bringing al
most as much as cows used to bring.
The opportunities in cattle growing
in the Southeast are becoming much
greater as science is taking its strides.
In South Georgia the open ranges pre-
clude much of the splendid work that
is being done in North and Middle
Georgia, but nothing con stop the tick
eradication work that is now in pro.
, gress and in a few years the whole
country will be rid of the scourge
that has dwarfed our cattle to such an
extent as to make them Improbable.
The eradication of the cattle tick is
the solution of the live stock troubles
in the Southeast. With their goine
come fat, sleek cattle, gaining rapidly
in weight, growing faster from the
calf on up and bringing better prices
County after county in Georgia ha,
already taken up the work and Their,
is no going back after farmers once
grasp the true meaning Of tick eradi
cation.
The essential advantages that accru,
from live stock farming are not to b,
enumerated in that one item alone, TO
the farmer who gives a REASONABLE
degree Of attention to this class O
farming is bound to have greater sue
cess in every other line of work.

any direction and when you come t,
