county can do to aid its citizens,
Decatur county will install grade
bull ofthebeef type, one Of the dairy
type, i fine jack, several boar hogs
OF the varieties best suited to south
west Georgia and probably a stall

these high bred animals at hand SO
that their services may be obtained
by the farmers Of the county at a
small charge, thereby aiding in
building up the grade Of live stock,

expenses from these animals but
also to make. a good return on the
money so invested. Is there any
better plan for a county that is a.

well take into consideration such
plan. With the right management
the county could loose nothing on
the actual investment. while the in
crease in wealth made by better
live stock will be felt in every sect

GOVERNMENT BEING MuLcrEo.
Hieh Rentals in Washington Starts
Movement For Federal Buildings.

Special correspondence
Washington, May 22.-Charges that
the government is being mulcted In
the matter of high rents in the District
Of Columbia were voiced IN the senate
vigorously in the consideration of the
agricultural appropriation bill.
This charge is not new one. 1t has
been made repeatedly. In this in
stance. senators were more emphatic
than usual in insisting that it ought TO
be the policy of the government to
erect here its own buildings and thus
save rentals.
Senator Swanson, of Virginia, chair
man of the public buildings and
grounds committee, strongly urged a
policy whereby the government would
terminate leases and erect its own
buildings. He said the government an
nually paid out from 100000 to $780,
900 rentals in Washington. His state
ment was:
1.-The government pays between
$500 900 and $780, 900 annually in rent
ais In the city OF Washington. At 3
per cent that represents the interest
on about $20.o00,oo0. In other words,
the government could easily afford to
issue bonds to the extent Of $40, 900 900
for the erection Of buildings and Sc
cure quarters far surprising those now
occupied by 1t in rented buildings. I DO
not believe It would take 10000, 900 for
this government to erect all the build
ings needed In Washington for storage
and all other purposes"
