HOG RANCHING IN SOUTHWEST

HOG RANCHING IN SOUTHWEST
GEORGIA
r. 4. NJ, Detroit Mich, writes: | have
been contemplating developing several hun
dred Of land 7 own IN Early county,
Georgia. and starting hog ranch, but be-
fore doing SO I would like to have your
opinion of the hog industry in that section
OF the state. DO you think II would pay
II run on large scale7
There is no reason why a hog ranch
should not be developed with success
and satisfaction in Early county. Geor-
gia Southwest Georgia is now the
chief hog raising section of the state,
and the chances are that the industry
will grow there more rapidly in the
future than II has, in the past. The
invasion of the boil weevil has. of
course. turned the farmers attention to
the necessity of diversifying crops and
Il has been demonstrated that a great
variety of crops can be grown suitable
for the maintenance and fattening of
hogs in the section of the state in
question. These crops. If planted in
proper succession. will provide food for
the greater part of the year. Many
varieties of legumes can be grown with
success. such as the cowpea, the soy
bean. the velvet bean and the peanut
Corn also grows we'll and a small
amount of II may be used to finish or
harden off the hogs which have been
Erazed on peanuts.
The climate i'm that section Of the
state is mild and If one uses preventive
serum and fences up the ranch salts
factory pork can be produced as cheap
" I'm that section as anywhere else in
the United States. The figures show
that Georgia pig club boys made their
pork at. lower cost than those in any
other state. OF course. this business
rs with any other business. requires
expert management. and one undertake
ing to establish a hog ranch should
start in a small way and build up and
develop the plantation as experience,
funds and the lapse of time permits.
Hog raising in Georgia is destined to
become one OF our most important and
profitable industries.

Bermuda grass may be planted at any
time OF the year from now on. Sets
may be used to establish It, The sets
need not be over two inches square
The closer YOU plant them the more
dense and perfect sod you will obtain
in a short period of time. 1t will be
difficult. however. to establish Bermu-
da grass in a partly shaded pasture,
as ii does not grow satisfactorily under
trees or where the shade is dense. 1t
will be necessary. therefore. to cut the
timber out very severely. or use other
grasses under the trees. such as blue
grass. red top. meadow fescus. long
white, bur or Japan clover.
a good way to establish Bermuda on
thin land is to pillow swallow burrows
around the contour of the hills, thus
helping 10 check erosions. Drop the
sets in these burrows about IL inches
apart and press into the soil with the
food in passing. When the sets be-
come well established the land may be
narrowed TO smooth down the surface
The rows may be laid off around the
contour of the hill anywhere from Is
inches to feet apart.

Record Revenue From
 Whiskey and Tobacco

Washington. June 20-High tide of whiskey and beer revenue receiptsy- and presumably consumption-in the United States was reached during the ynnancial year now closing The cigarette smokers of the nation, fig- lures show. also smoked more than ever before. Ordinary internal reve- ..HHe receipts, composed chiefly of taxes Ion whiskey, beer and tobacco. were t$424.s27.4 .4es.
 Revenue collected on whiskey so far in the fiscal year is SITS, 1000. 900, although the current fiscal year still fhas Il days to run. At the rate of t$1.10 a gallon these figures show that taxes have been paid on about 154,- 100000 gallons.
 Revehue from beer is about $s4.- 1000, 900, a little less than the record of i1s14 when approximately 6e,000, ,00o ibarrels, taxable at s1~50 barrel. was consumed.
 Tobacco yielded. more than, $100,- 000.0O0 revenue this year, as against last years Revenue of approximately i$88. 900, ,000. A large part of the Is iper' cent. increase is believed to have come from the growing popularity of cigarettes among women.

price of the Colombia or Venezuela
 or Central American coffees higher
 than the average Brazilian. If you want, however, to determine the price
 of all coffees imported in the latest
 available months with the same
 month two or three or four. years ago. you do this by taking the total quan-
 tity imported and comparing it with
 the stated value of the entire quan- tity, and you get the average world
 price per pound of coffee aththe place of exportation to the United States for the year in question. By a similar
 process you determine the price in place of production of any of the thousands of articles imported into the United States, provided always that the import figures name both quantity and stated value, for the
 valuation is in all cases that at the
 port or country whence shipped to the United States.
 Such comparisons snow in a very large proportion of the cases marked increases in the values, at the place of production, of the merchandise
 brought into the country. Raw cot ton, for example, most of it from
 Egypt. was imported in March 1917,
 at an average price of 31.8c per lb,7
 against 16.3c in March, 1914 a date immediately preceding the war, and these, be it remembered represent the export price at the port or coun- try from which sent to us. Sisal inn ports in March of the current year
 were $302 per ton against $117 in
 March, 1914; copper 29.5c per lb., against 14.1c three years earlier; goat skins 62.2c per h., against 25.7c three | years earlier;4 cheese at an average of | 34c h. against IT f1ax seed
 at $2.39 per bushel against SIPS;
 beans at $3,21 per bushel against $1.56; potatoes at $1.77 against 72c three years ago: indigo at $2.00 per b. against 15c per ID. in the same
 months in 1914; haywood at $36 per ton against $11; combing wool at 48c fagainst 24.6c in March, 1914; lead at 6.5c per ID. against Sc; copper at 29.5c against 14.1c three years ago;
 cotton stockings at $3.27 per dozen
 paid against $1.27 in March, 1914; su-
 gar at exactly double the price of
 three years ago; entrants at an ad-
 vance of 300 per cent; while cattle hides, manila hemp, raw silk, India
 rubber, tin, lumber, cotton and wool
 en cloth and many other articles show
 advances, some of them as much is 100 per cent Wood pulp, mechanical
 ly ground, shows an average import price in March, 1917, of $3O73 per
 ton, against $16.35 in July, 1914;
 chemical pulp unbleached $9690 per
 ton against s36.75, and chemical pulp bleached, $133.11 per ton against
 $49.2o in 1914. All of these advances occur in the price at which the mer- 1 chandise in question was sold in the
 country from which exported to the United States
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-06-20
World of Finance

The advance in prices, so keeniy
 realized by all the people of the Uni
 ted States is by no means peculiar 10 this country, or even to the countries
 in which war conditions are looked upon as the immediate cause or the higher prices. From the tea fields or lava and India, the tin mines Of the Malayan Peninsula, the silk areas or China and Japan, the sugar fields or
 Java, Hawaii and Cupa, the slsai plantations of Mexico, the copper 1 mines of South America and Japan the indigo farms of India, the hemp
 fields of the Philippines. the. .logwood forests of the West Indies, the cur
 rant orchards of Greece, the rubber plantations of the Orient, the cham pagne producing area of France, the cotton fields of Egypt, and even the diamond mines of South Africa, come statistical proof of advance in prices of their respective products
 A compilation by the National Clty Bank of New York of the prices at
 which varied products of these wide ] ly distributed areas are being sold Tn I the places of production. shows that the advance in prices is general.
 The United States has peculiar Ia i cilittes for determining the prices of the world products in their respective
 places of production. Her customs laws require that the valuations at
 which merchandise is imported shall { be those of the merchandise in the country from which exported to the United States and not the value on reaching the port at which it enters fthfs country. Thus the values named by the importers of any article, from any part of the world, must be the | price at which the goods were sold in
 the place from which exported to this country, or if the importer does not choose to name the price which he 1 paid for it, then the average price of the article in the wholesale mar fkets of the port from which 1t was 1 shipped to this country is used in de-
 termfning the value.
 So it is quite feasible to determine the average price at which any given article or class of articles is sold in Eany country from which imported, Iand at the same time determine the leverage world export price. by com pairing the total quantity of all the Hmportafions 6f Athef article in ques- Etion with the total valuation placed lupon 1t by the importers of the en- Ifire quantity. If. for instance. you lwant to know the price at which the tcoffee reach the United States rom Brazil in any given month was ex- Iported from that country you get at Eleast a close approximation of the inverage price by dividing the stated tquantity into the stated value. Then, hf you want to determine the price at (which the coffee of Colombia left Itfat country you do SC by comparing gouantities and value of the Colombia
 coffee imported and find the average
