TOBACCO WAREHOUSE TO
BE BUILT IN COFFEE CO.

DOUGLAS, Ga, March 5.-Citizens of
Douglas and Coffee county, acting
through the influence of Mr.. Melvin
Tanner, secretary of the chamber OF
commerce, and with Mr.. G. B. Eunice,
farm demonstration, and Professor j. G..
Floyd, county superintendent of educa-
ton, have arranged for a tobacco ware
house to be located in Douglas, to taxa
care of the crop this year. At citi-
zens meeting, held this week, stock
company was organized, and all stock
has been subscribed and a charter is
being applied for, and the warehouse
will be built right away, which will
perhaps be the first tobacco warehouse
to be erected in the state of Georgia.
The warehouse. when completed, will
be leased to Messrs. Ford and Miller,
of Lakeview, S. c., who are experienced
tobacco warehousemen, and they will
take charge of it and handle the crops
for the present year.
In Coffee county alone there will be
1000 acres of tobacco planted this
year. and in adjacent counties to Coffee
there will be 500 additional acres plant
ed which will. use the Douglas ware
house. This means the establishing Of
a tobacco market in Douglas, whereas
heretofore the tobacco growers had to
ship their tobacco TO South Carolina to
find a market.

DOES NUT GRASS RENDER
HOGS IMMUNE TO CHOLERA

ALBANY. Ga. March 5.-That nut
grass contains some element which rem
ders hogs immune to cholera is the
opinion of Mr.. S. ]. Jones, a well-known
attorney of this city, who is also eX-
tensively interested in agriculture with
his brother, Mr.. Henry Jones. On their
old home place" two miles east of
Albany, they have not had a case of
hog cholera in twenty years, though
they always have raised many hogs.
and the disease prevails on every side
of them nearly every year. These hogs
have a daily run on a nut grass pas
ture. which they seem to greatly enjoy,
nearly every day in the year roofing
the nuts. Mr.. Jones cites the case of
another farmer who had lost most of
his hogs from cholera and removed the
rest of them to another part of the
same plantation. where they had &C
cess to a nut grass patch, and since
that time. three years ago. he has lost
no hogs from cholera. Mr.. Jones is not
a scientist. and does not urge his theory
as infallible. but suggests that an in
vestigation be made by state experts
to ascertain whether or not there is
anything in il. If the despised nut
grass has such beneficial properties
some of the prejudice against this bane
of fields may be eliminated.
