THE SPINELESS CACTUS
CARIGER FURNITURE co. SHOW
ING BURBANK VARIETIES.
Contains Great Food Value for Hogs,
Cows and Other Animals and
Should Be Grown in Terrell.

&OHldthS NICdO FoOu NAuC lOE AAOSS'
Cows and Other Animals and
Should BE Grown in Terrell.
The Carriger Furniture Company
are exhibiting samples of several va
rieties of Burbank's spineless cactus,
and it is the intention of Mr.. Carriger
to grow some of the cactus in Ter
rell county.
The cactus is recognized in the
West as a superior feed for cattle,
sheep, hogs and other stock, sup
plying not only all the feedstuffs for
the animals but water as we'll. 1t is
said by those in position to know
that one acre of ordinary land plant
ed in cactus will supply food for four
head of cattle the year round. Cat
tie have been fed on the thorny cac
tus for a period of fifteen years and
have thrived on such feeding. Horses
and live stock on western ranches
fed with cactus thrive wonderfully
without any water at all. The cactus
is also a great milk producer. There
is something in the cactus that seems
to help the flow of milk. Cows fed
on cactus produce more milk than
other cows. 1t also makes poultry
of all kinds thrive. The cactus plants
grow a fruit averaging ten tons to
the acre and upward. This fruit is
superior to the banana and is whole
some for human beings to eat. 1t sells
in the market at the same price de-
manded for oranges and costs less
than 0na-tanth of what if costs To
raise oranges. Cactus does not re-
quire cultivation, but it will thrive
better, of course, if cultivated. The
spineless cactus will grow anywhere
except on wet soil 1t requires high,
dry ground, and it is claimed that
the Georgia soils are especially
adapted to its growth, and that it will
thrive on the poorest hillsides.
We believe there is a great posi-
bility in this cactus for the Geor-
gia farmer who is interested in stock
raising and that it will revolutionize
the feed problem.

Farmers Slow in Selling.
There had been 1884 bales of cot
ton received at the Dawson ware
houses up to ten o'clock this morn
ing, and the wagons loaded with bales
of the staple were steadily rolling in.
The beautiful weather for cotton
during the past ten days has aided
the farmers materially in the work
of picking the staple, besides making
it open rapidly, and the receipts this
year are more than 200 bales in eX-
cess of the same period last year.
The Indications, however, are that
the crop will be considerably less
than last year.
TIE market came in three points
up this morning, and is steady Full
ly good middling is quoted at 91s
cents. good middling 8 and middling
8%. The farmers, however, are not
inclined to sell, and are asking from
a quarter to half a cent above the
market, believing that the price will
90 considerably higher.

SOME FARMERS ARE
HOLDING COTTON SEED
Farmers of Terrell County Hope to
Get Better Prices


Get Better Prices.
While most of the farmers in the
county are selling their cotton very
rapidly, and only few are beginning
to hold it, some of then: are holding
on to their cotton seed in spite CT
the fact that the price has advanced
considerably and are now bringing
$25 a ton. Some years ago it was al
ways a problem to the cotton grower
to dispose of the seed, which were al
ways seen banked behind the gins
and he felt like wishing that a seed
less cotton could be discovered, but
today he wishes that there were even
more seed, since he has learned that
they are money bringing portion OF
the product and one that will always
be valuable.
