the Central Of Georgia railway will
use it's boys four-crop clubs in 1919
as a medium through which to en-
courage the raising Of high bred beef
cattle i'll those portions Of Georgia
aud Alabama which it serves.
According to announcement made
by J. r. Jackson, agricultural agent,
the agricultural department has ar
ranged for the purchase Of u number
Of .pure-bred Shoithorn (Durham)
balls. which viii be awarded to the
prize winners Of the Boys Four
Crop Club Contests.
Any boy between the ages Of ten
and twenty -one who lives in acoun-
ty Of Alabama or Georgia which is
traversed by the Central OF Georgia
railway may enter the contest in his
County if he can get three acres OF
ground on which to cultivate his
crops. On one acre he must plant
cotton, on another corn and on the
third he must cultivate winter oats
followed by cowpea hay, making
four crops on three acres.
The prizes will be awarded for the
best total yield Of all four crops al
The greatest net profit, and writ
ten account Of how the crops were
made will be required. The names
Of boys who wish to enter the con
test may be forwarded through THEN

school commissioners or the county
demonstration agent to either ].

Bulls were offered as prizes for the
four-crop contests this year, but ow
ing to the latencss OF the announce
ment OILY thirteen Of the clubs were
organized. The thirteen bulls have
been purchased and until the contest
is decided have been loaned to farm
ers along the road who agreed to
purchase pure-bred Shorthorn heif-
ers and to build dipping vat to
keep their cattle free Of ticks.
The lending Of the bulls has slim
ulated interest in the beef cattle
raising among the farmers to such
an extent that many other farmers
who have seen the bulls have pur-
chased thoroughbred stock for their
own farms.
Agricultural Agent Jackson par
ticularly interested in tie prize
bulls and believes they viii be the
beginning Of a big cattle raising
movement.
The interest aroused in rqre-
bred cattle by the introduction Of
the bulls this year, said Mr.. Jack
son, is positive proof that the
bulls we will place in the territory
we serve next year will greatly slim
uIate the beef cattle industry"
The plan Of awarding the prize
noxt year will be the same as that
adopted this year, but it is hoped
that there will be more than twice
as many clnbs organized. The bulls
will be purchased early in the year
and will again be loaned to the far
mers who will agree to purchase
thoroughbred heifers until the con-
test is decided.

The farmers went on record here

tionaof the bankersand supply men
If The state in helping to curtailthe
crop next year. Resolutions were
adopted III this spirit which will be
ma lie in detail later, Judge Ware G..
Martin and Mr.. j. M. Cannon were
appointed on the committee to draft
the resolutions and to report them
at the next meeting to be held on
October Goth.
The matter Of requesting the
bankers and supply men to sign the
contract and to aid in the work Of
curtaiIing the cotton crop meet with
unanimous approval. 1t was only i'll
the manner Of doing this that there
was some hesitancy in make an inn
mediate decision, so the committee
is to consider the matter and to
draft the resolutions after careful
deliberations.
In the reports Of committees made
it was found that the Chokee list is
nearest complete, as it is said that
about three-fourths of the farmers
in that district have already signed
the contract. Reports from other
districts showed that tile lists for
the other districts are not as com
plete as the one from Chokee. Work
is being done constantly, however,
to complete the lists and to make
them contain the names necessary
for the organization.
The newly drafted charter for the
Lee County Growers Association was
read by Judge Ware G. Martin, and
it was ordered upon the adoption Of
the charter that it be published as
required by law. The Journal will
print tie charter in full, and the
attention Of every reader Of this pa
per is especially directed toward
This document, which is of special
interest at this time.
A helpful discussion of the diff
culties now facing the farmers was
then begun, with special reference
to the manner in which the farmers
were meeting their obligations now
due at the banks. This brought for
tbdivers opinions, hum orous and
otherwise, with the result that the
farmers we're urged to see that the
hanks were not embarrassed by lack
of cotton as collateral but also that
overy farmer should have a definite
showing from the banks so that he
would not be the loser under any
euch arrangement. Messrs. Robert
Ferguson, Lee Mathis, G. H. Lara
more NJ. NJ. Martin, j. R. Long, J
NJ Cannon, H. L. Long and Judge
Ware G. Martin took part in this
discussion.
One of the most helpful features
Of the meeting was the talk made
by Farm Demonstration Agent
Kent on THE Diversifcation Of
Crops When the Cotton Acreage is
Reduced" Mr.. Kent took up in 9
TACTICAL way the discussion Of leg.
rminou3 crops such as burr clover
votch, oats, rye and similar crops
with which, as he showed, the farm
ers could pat ammonia into the sol
without buying it. He also stressed

when one of the seldom occurring accidents does happen you
may have to wait a few seconds or minutes for your electric

might throw a section of the city temporarily in darkness.

How the CITY Profits by OUR Profits

You have probably been of the opinion that the only
people who benefit by our profits are the stockholders of our
Company.
BUT JUST THINK A MOMENT!
The most important element in the prosperity of a city
are its public utilities. If they are well managed they reflect
credit on the city.
transportation by electric railway is necessary to allow
a city to increase beyond a certain size. As a city grows its
transportation system must be earning its way or it cannot
get money to spend on extensions.
UNLESS YOUR STREET RAILWAY SYSTEM is A
PROFITABLE CONCERN 1T CANNOT GROW: AND IF IT
CANN0T GROW, NEITHER CAN THE CITY. DID THAT
EVER OCCUR TO YOU BEFOREY
Good telephone service is also necessary. GOOD SER
VICE is FAR MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU THAN CHEAP
SERVICE. The telephone company must make money from
its subscribers to give GOOD SERVICE, or else it retards
the growth of the city.
The same is true of your gas and electric light oOmpan-
les. 1t does not make any difference how cheap the service
is if it is NOT GOOD SERVICE. The people want efficiency
in their gas and electric service, and it costs MONEY to give
EFFICIENT service, but people DEMAND IT AND THEY
ARE ENTITLED TO 1T. That's what the companies are do
ing business for-to serve the people properly.
Efficiency in the electric light and gas bushes requires
plant and system of sufficient capacity far in excess of the
actual present demands. This additional capacity represents
a large investment made to insure UNINTERRUPTED AND
ADEQUATE SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE OF ALBUQUER-
QUE.
