GEORGIA IS TURNING
TO CATTLE INDUSTRY
GREAT INCREASE IN LIVESTOCK
RAISING IN SOME OF THE
COTTON STATES.

For many years retail butchers in
southern cities have offered two kinds
of beef to their customers-native
beef and Chicago or Omaha beef.
The native beef was from animals
grown in the Southern states and
slaughtered at home, while the Chica-
go or Omaha beef was from steers
bred and fattened in the West. Ma
tive beef was considered inferior and
rarely came up to the quality of the
western packing house product. and
sold for less money, the reduced
price running back to the farmer,
who got less for his live animals than
the western farmer was able to COM
mand. The cattle tick, which has been
largely eliminated, was in part re-
sponsible for the poor quality of
southern cattle, but the greatest
drawback was the failure of the
southern farmer to give the careful
attention to the cattle industry. or
to any other department of agricul-
ture for that matter. that he gave to
cotton. This situation is rapidly
changing, however, and not only is
native beef finding a ready home
market at full prices in the South.
but southern cattle are making their
way in competition with western
stock into the yards of the great
packing centers. Persons who study
conditions incident to cattle raising
agree that this situation is as il
should be. The South has every ad-
vantage of climate, location and soil.
There are no short seasons to frost
the corn and forage crops, grass is
available almost throughout the year.
long droughts are rare and never suf-
ficiently severe to threaten the supply
OF drinking water, and there is at
hand a consuming population ample
to supply an excellent market, and
besides the Southern states are al
most as near the North and East as
are Chicago and Kansas City and
Omaha.
Growing in Georgia.
In Georgia the good cattle move
ment is rapidly growing in favor
Good breeding stock is in demand
to improve the cattle, especially here
IN Southwest Georgia, and thousands
of carloads of cattle and hogs are
shipped to the packing houses during
the course of a year. Demonstrations
in the breeding and feeding of beef
cattle and pasture improvement are
receiving special attention in many
new quarters. Many carloads of cat
tie are being brought to this section
from the drought-stricken region of
Texas.
Recent reports indicate that the
live stock industry is fourishing in
Florida, and that thousands of good
breeding cattle are being shipped in
to the state. One large farm recent
ly brought 1000 Hereford cows from
Texas for breeding purposes. The cat
tie brought into the state last year
from the southwest have given en-

Letters From Terrell County Sol

What CATARRH IS

Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness of
the body and local treatments in the
form of snuffs and vapors only irritate
and do little if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat
its cause by enriching your blood with
the oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which
is a medicinal food and a building
tonic, free from any harmful drugs.
1t is helping thousands. Try it.

DR.. SOLUE ANNOUNCES
THE PEANUT RULE STANDS
Says They Must Not Be Held by Deal
ers More Than Sixty DAYS,

Andrew NJ Soule has declined to
grant the request Of the state bureau
of markets that the food admins
tration revoke its ruling which for
bids buyers holding peanuts more
than sixty days.
The bureau asked that the regula-
lions be annulled, pointing out that
peanuts are selling in Georgia for
much less than their value, due in
part to the fact that the administra-
tons regulation forces them on the
market faster than the law of supply
and demand would justify.
