farmers of the state at actual cost.
While Commissioner of Agriculture
]. ]. Brown has taken no direct part
in the controversy which has arisen
with reference to hog cholera serum
and the price at which it is furnished
Georgia farmers, he believes the whole
matter ought to be thoroughly inves-
tigated and a decision reached by the
legislature itself as to- what should be
done about it.
Senator Odom, of Baker county, has
announced his intention Of introduce
ing a resolution to bring about this
investigation, and to see what can be
done toward getting the serum down
to the lowest possible price.
Although when hog cholera serum
was first manufactured in Georgia it
was sold to the farmer at the rate
of about $3.50 per pint, it is said the
state veterinary department by going
into the open market, succeeding in
getting this price down to $3.50 a
pint, which amounts to about forty
cents per hundred pounds for the
treatment of animals. Belief has
been expressed in some quarters that
this can be sill further reduced. The
plan will involve an initial invest
ment or sinking funh TO be appropriat-
ed by the state, sufficient to enable it
to be carried out on the basis of low
est cost.

Der two cans in crates cost $685. a

The number three cans, the quart size,
cost $528 in crate quantities. This

than the exhorbitant prices which
were promised at the opening of the

These cans were being sold early
in the season here in Cordele at a

BROWN MOVES FOR
new MEAT DEP0Ts
STATE DEPARTMENT AGRlCUL-
TURE ASKS HELP IN FINDING
GOOD PLACES FOR LOCAL MAR
KET DEPoTs.

Atlanta, July 13.-The State De-
partment Of Agriculture solicits the
assistance of bankers and merchants
in every community IN the state in or
ganizing as promptly as possible local
market depots where farmers may dis
pose Of their food products on cash
basis. Already these market depots
have been organized in dozen or
more county seats throughout the
state, including Rome, Corrollton, La
Grange, Lawrenceville, Albany, Val
dosta and Townsville. Others have
signified that they would perfect sim
liar organizations at once.
Thus, even in advance of receiving
official legislative sanction, the State
Market Bureau has already paved the
way for the establishment of market
ing system which ultimately must in
sure the farmer as we'll as the con-
sumner of Georgia, proper and salts
factory distribution of the food pro-
ducts made in the state.
But the market bureau has done
more than this. 1t has lined ap the
wholesale dealers and jobDers of
Georgia to the point where nearly all
of the principal houses in the state
~
which they will give Georgia products
the preference in purchasing their
supplies for distribution through the
retail trade Wholesale grocers in At
lanta, Macon, Augusta and Savannah
have agreed that they will take Geor-
gia canned goods in preference to any
of those from other states A similar
agreement has been made by whole
salers in reference to feed products
for cattle and stock.
1t is apparent, therefore, that the
organization of the market bureau has
been undertaken on a carefully plann-
ed, systematic basis and there is eV-
cry reason to believe the legislator
at this session will promptly recognize
it and give it the support which it
needs and must have to do efficient
work along the lines indicated There
is every reason why this financial
support should be given, because the
money which it was proposed to use
to support the department is derived
from the fees for inspection of fer
tilizers and oils. of which Georgia
farmers are the chief consumers.
Out of the proposed investigation
of the hog cholera serum situation in
Georgia there may be set apart by

BATTLE ROYAL WITH BOIL
WEEVIL ON JOHNSON FARM

Crisp county. He and one small boy
picked from o'clock in the morning
until 1920 and gathered packed
half Dushel of squares, most of which
were the genuinely weevil punctured
kind, from half an acre of cotton His
cotton is all still small on account of
a severe drought in that section. He
is Of the opinion that he could more
easily gather 400 pounds of cotton
than he can gather the punctured
squares off of an acre if picked only
once a week on some TO his worst af
fected acres. He issues the statement
that there are now 25 bushels of pune
tured squares in the cotton field of
II plows.
He wishes us to state that he is in
no way DESTROYS of frightening cotton
growers out of their wits, but that
he hopes that people will early learn
that this thing of contending with the
boil weevil is a serious thing and a
matter that should be of serious con-
Germ to the farming people of this
section.
The struggle so far has ben so hard
and with such seemingly small good
results until he has resolved to I'M
dertake cotton growing ON a much
small scale next year with a goodly
acreage of peanuts, grains and beans
with hogs and cows to market things
through.

It will be remembered that Mr.. Reu-

found weevils about seven or eight
weeks ago. Mr. Johnson did not hest
tate to start the best campaign that
is known against this insect.
1t is interesting and yet disappoint-
ing to learn from Mr.. Johnson just
what this pilferer will do to mans
cotton crop after the most consistent
efforts possible have been put forth
to try to defeat the pest. Mr.. John
sons own word las been given.
Mr.. Johnson states that he has used
all available help in picking and de-
stroying squares, and that on his
immediate crop the cotton fields have
had the squares gathered two and
aften three times each week since the
detection of hte enemy. Mr.. Johnson
says there has been little let up, ex-
-cept to let up into higher speed OF
real injury, despite his most pains
taking and determined efforts to whip
the destroyer. He states that picking
squares has about tagged the whole
army arrayed against Mr.. Weevil. He
and all who can can gather squres
are kept too busy to get to town ON
Saturday afternoon, just ran up after
5 o'clock
He remarked that he would like to
know, Just to be knowing, how many

TAKE THOSE CANS HOME AND
PUT UP THE WINTER FOOD

Agent J. A. Johnson, with the help
of j. w. Cannon of the American Ma
tional Bank, and the Watt & Holmes
Hardware company, secured car load
of cans at factory cost. They are be-
ing handled without profit and the
food grower has splendid opportunity
to make the most of the situation.
The corn and tomatoes, peaches and
fruits, green peas, butter beans, and
many other foods should be saved
with these cans. Any person can af-
ford to fill hundred or more of these
cans with the vital necessities that
will cost so dearly next winter. These
cans are waiting for you to get them
and use them. Please let none of them
remain idle

Conserving Wife and
Mother
By A. Husband.

The progressive farmer recognizes
the value and necessity of modern
implements, and most farmers have
then. He also utilizes the gasoline
engine to grind feed, bale hay and
pump water. Many farms have ele-
waited water tanks from which pipes
lead to the barn and the drinking
troughs.
But what about the housewife?
What about the home? Does the
housewife have her share of labor
saving devices and home conven-
fences? Do water pipes run from the
elevated tanks to the kitchens and
the bath rooms in the home?
Mr.. Farmer land some others be-
sides farmers) you need to have some
OF these good, practical suggestions
pasted in your hat so when you are
working hard some hot day and you
go to- wipe the sweat from your brow,
you may read: 81 have two-horse
power gasoline engine. l have water
works in my house."
Then you would think of wife back
home sweating and putting a crick in
her back toting water.
Further on you will read: 81 have
my garden irrigated" And then you
remember the absence of fall gardens
last year due to drought.
Still you read On as your handker-
chief mops your brow: 81 also have
a washing machine and wash with
it."
My, the untold backaches and tired
arms these two pieces of work bring
on! You remember how hard it is
to get the boys and girls to do these
jobs and how often your wife has them
to do.
Still you proceed with the letter and
come to the words: 81 have four boys.
All have jobs. The one nine years
old gets up and pumps the water"
Now, that nine-year-old boy, I'll wa
ger, would not swap jobs with the en-
gineer on a railroad and he isn't
dreaming of the day when he can
leave the farm for the city. Then
perhaps you stop and think of son,
John, or daughter, Mary, who has
gone away to a city to take a job.
The farm with it's water-toting, hand
churning, strong arm washing and
absence of some other labor savers
and recreation givers held no attrac-
ton for them.
You are now putting crick in
friend wife's back, having her grow
old before her day by toting water,
foregoing the pleasure of an irrigated
garden, doing your many odd jobs
by main strength and washing by
hand and letting your boys go to the
city, all for the sake of about so cents
per week or less needed to run a gas.

Think man, what a change would
come over the old place if you would
install a two-horse power gasolene en-
CINE and waterworks. Imagine what
wife would say how she would look.
What son and daughter would.
Say, Mrs. Farmers Wife, paste it
in his hat for him. The time Is COM
ing when more efforts will be made
to conserve mother, when conven-
fences will be provided for her just
as the grain binder, manure spreader,
hay press, automobile and many 9th
er valuable implements and machines

hands.

it be great!
