CATTLE RAlsERs' GAIN
Georgia story That Ia Fail OF Meat.
EncouraEement to NirRinia Shsrt-
horn Senturers.

The head man OF the White Pro-
vision Company. OF Atlanta. Ga. last
week wrote note to the editor Of the
Constitution which reads as follows:
We received this morning forty
nine head of mighty fine cattle from
one OF our most progressive Georgia
farmers-H. A. Dover. OF Montezuma.
Ga. We paid for the forty-nine head
S5.l5o.0s, averaE cling considerable over
sloo per head. Or equal TO the price of
Good farm mule
There is no question that our Geor-
gia farmers are beginning 10 realize
what live stock will mean to them
While these cattle were high price. at
the same time. they are Of the best
quality and VIII make the hest heef
which Will. accordingly. bring.the ton
OF the market all around and make
the consumer who gets the steak han
py.'
There is great deal that is worth
thinking about in that short statement
or interesting fact. Some stunts like
that are being done in Virginia and
plans are being laid to make them com
mon, everyday occurrences The farm
ers OF this State can raise no better
paying crops than beef cattle. Those
far-sighted fellows in Prince Edward
County who have recently branched
out in the shorthorn line have made
no mistake. and others of the neigh
boring south side counties who are
following suit are not making mis-.
takes.
