IS HELPING ALONG
CROP INVESTIGATION
DAWSON COTTON OIL co. DO.
ING MUCH FOR FARMERS IN
THIS SECTION OF STATE.

Few people have stopped long
enough to fully comprehend what
| such an enterprise as the Dawson
Cotton Oil company means to the
city and a wide section of country.
With its up-tO-the-minute machinery
and modern business methods thew
offer to the planters the best facili-
ties for handling the cotton and pea
nut crops which are just now the
money making products of our rich
farming lands.
The fact that their cotton gin has
daily capacity of 125 bales is a
guarantee of prompt service and no
tlresome waiting. Machinery is run
ming at all hours turning out cotton
seed oil, and the hulls as near lintless
and free from dirt as possible make
desirable food for fattening stock.
The output of peanut meal and
OIL IS OF itself great industry,
since both are in big demand, and
coming from this Latest improved ma
chine are of the highest grade in
quality and quantity. A recent issue
OF the Albany Herald made the fol-
lowing reference to this enterprise:
The peanut is just now coming in
to more general use as human food
IN this section than ever before and
peanut oil IS more popular than hog
fat in some of the branches of cook
cry. 1t would follow that a largely
increased acreage in this crop will be
the natural result and Terrell coun-
ty folks and those who live in neigh
boring sections are peculiarly fortu-
nate that the Dawson Cotton Oil Co.
had the forethought to prepare so
splendldly to make the crop one of
the most valuable to the farmer, since
he can turn it into merchantable
products right at his door with none
of the bother and expense of shipping
to foreign markets. To do this a
large expenditure of money was nee
essary, the investment representing
100000 practically all of the stock
being owned by Terrell county citi-
zens."
Only experts are employed by this
company to handle their large bust
ness and the yearly payroll amounts
to more than $4,000. This amount
circulates around home to stimulate
all branches of trade, instead help
ing to build up remote communities.
TO meet fairly conditions necessary
to keep the market up to the highest
notch the Dawson Cotton Oil com
panys policy is to pay the highest
prices for what the farmer has TO of
fer, thus encouraging the growing of
such crops as are turning into gold
for the tillers of the soil.
Over eighty tons of velvet beans
can be crushed and ground daily into
the finest meal. 1t is the boast of
the company that they have the larg-
est velvet bean mill in Georgia, all
the machinery being selected by ex-
perts so that only the best merchant
able products are turned out.
The News is always a booster of
home products and local enterprises,
and feels a pardonable pride in call
ing attention to the progressive step
taken by these Terrell county men
IN financing this plant, which cannot
fail to contribute largely to the city's
growth and the further development
of the farming interests hereabouts.
1t will serve to keep the money at
home and add to the prosperity of
every branch of business and the
bank account of almost every citi-
zen.
1t is just such enterprises that at
tract to a community worthwhile
investors that make good citizens.
We invite all such to come among us
and see for themselves that every eff
fort will be made by the Dawson
l. p
the diversified products Of the up-to-
date farmer.
