Says the Macon Telegraph:

II all the pigs born this spring could
be saved and fed, Georgia would not
have to buy any pork next year. No
one knows just how many pigs die
needlessly, but enough perish each
spring to make necessary the pur-
chase Of d large quantity of hog meat
In 1914 when boys pig CLUBS were
first attempted, the State was credi-
ted with buying $40,000,OOO worth OF
all kinds Of meat and meat-food pro
ducts. That was the amount of Geor-
gias annual butcher bill. Many farm
ers bought everything on their tables
and centered their energies on the
production Of cotton crop They
staked all they had on one crop and
take chances. Some had never seen
but few pure bred hogs in all their
lives, and had given no thought to
ever owning one. Paying $40 for
pure bred pig eight months old was
regarded as foolish extravaganza.
At the State fair in 1914 there were
six rather Indifferent piss raised by
pig club boys on exhibition In at
least three cases it was the first time
the pure bred hogs had ever been on
'he farm of the boy who raised them.
Recent data issued by the State
veterinarian in Atlanta shows Geor-
gia's meat bill for 1917 to have been
right around $12,O0O,O0O. In 1914 it was
reported to be $4O,0O0OOO.
1t would not be at all within reason
10 claim that this splendid increase in
production was due to the growing in
fIuence of the boys pig clubs in the
state; but it is significant fact that
pig club boys in lifty-one counties pro
duced $31941.76 worth Of hogs last
year at an average profit of $2O.59
per head They also exhibited 500
head at three fairs and won prizes ex,
coding in value $3,400.
These achievements must necessa-
rily have carried home some measure
OF enthusiasm for the hog raising in
dustry in general The spring drive
for 10000 members, which is now
going on, bid STAIR to be a grand sue
cess A promising feature is a report
from yarions counties that enough
pure bred pigs ahye been raised 10
supply all pig club members and some
to spare other counties less fortunate.
Members who joined one or two years
ago are now contributing towards
the supply for neighboring counties
where new clubs are being organized
As the Cordele Dispatch stated last
week; Pig raising has been put for
ward in fast manner by the boys of
this county, who have made some
thing of the pig clubs. They are going
to do even more this year than last,
for the meatproducing advantages to
be gained by pig club membership
have been found yaluabls. Hog rails
ing is learned by the boys to such
d nice advantage as to spread inter
est to the grown-ups and where there
is live pig club boy in the family
the whole crowd becomes attracted
by his successes"

GREATEST COTTON CONSUMER

The fact that India is the greatest
cotton goods market is again called
to the attention of the American man

titled Cotton Goods in British India"

British India takes about 20 per cent
Of the total cotton goods exported
by all The cotton-manufacturi coun-
tries in the world The value OF the
annual imports of cotton piece goods
into the port of Calcutta alone exceeds
the imports Of piece goods into any
other single country in the world.
OF the total Of $215,096,915 worth Of
cotton goods imported in 1914. Eng

Not Offering

Any Immunity
Men Who Crossed to Mex
leo Won't Be Allowed
To Return In Peace.

The department Of justice has not
the slightest idea Of allowing Stacker
draft evaders. who suddenly on the
first sound OF the tocsin Of war found
imperatively pressing business south
OF the Rio Grande and rushed into
Mexico to save their imaginary hold
ings, to return in peace and quiet to
the United States, now that the war
drums throb no longer. according TO
local officials.
The department has received let
ters. it is said, from two men known
to the officials to have been dratl
evaders stating that their business IN
Mexico has been finished and they de-
sire to return to the United States
and, lest the department suspect that
they desired TO escape military ser
vice by going into our adjoining re
public, they are very willing TO pc
indicted into the service. provided
they are allowed to return on such
conditions.
C. T. Jones. special agent Of the
department OF justice, in charge OF
the bureau Of investigation in Fl
Paso, replied to these letters and al
vised the men that the department
would not make any terms whatso-
ever.
The authorities state that every one
connected with the department of
justice is unusually on the alert TO
apprehend draft evaders returning 70
this country. It is hardly believed
that the soldier guards along the
river will close their eyes on return
ing slackers. it was said.
