People on this side of Flint River

before people could cross again.

didn't meet. People on the Sumter

A MESSAGE TO FARMERS

1t seems to me that our Farmers
of South Georgia, should get a pro.
fitable lesson, out of their experience
the past year, in the raising of cat.
tie and hogs for the market.
| have seen farmers recently sell
hogs for 10h cents, at leading point.
when top hogs were quoted at II
cents, on the Northern, Markets. The
whole answer to this difference in
price is that our Southern hogs lack.
cd quality
There is no doubt, that because our
farmers have not yet sold their cotton
they have been forced to place on the
market lot Of under size underfed
pigs, and sows that should have been
carried over The market does not
want this class of hogs, and they
cannot pay top prices for them.
have seen South Georgia farmers
recently sell at Macon, high grade
Hereford and Shorthon Steers, weigh
ing 100 lbs. each for II l-2 cents per
pound, while other South Georgia
farmers, on the same day, had to take
s cents for scrub steers weighting six
and seven hundred pounds. 1t was that
same difference in quality.
To my mind. there never was time
that II would pay our farmers tc
make a study of their business. as il
will at this time We should find out
what the market wants and we shoult
grow and deliver these things to the
buyers as nearly perfect, as it is il
our power to do so.
Those of our states that are grea,
in an agricultural sense, are not grea

the world why South Georgia. should
not do as well as Kentucky along
these lines. Why can we not raise as

cotton, Georgia tobacco, Georgia dairy
products, Georgia horses, Georgia
cattle, Georgia sheep and hogs, be-
cause of their quality. We should by
all means make study of our bust
ness of farming so what we may go
about these improvements intelli-
gently and successfully.
We have a great big job ahead of
us, we must improve our hogs by u.s.
ing the best pure bred boars, that we
can buy, and our best sows, learn to
feed them out like the packers want
them, and raise sufficient feed that
we may be able to carry our hogs at
any time 30 or 60 days to prevent
throwing them on a congested market.
The same things will apply to cat
tie, we must use our best cows the
best pure bred bulls that we can buy,
eradicate the tick, build silos raise
more feed and make study of the
market, arranging to place our cattle
on sale when the packer is need rath-
ethen when he has more than he can
buy
