The kind of poultry to maintain on
your plantation depends entirely on
the object you have in view There
are of course, sp> i laying breeds.
combination or general purpose
breeds, and breeds specially adapted
for the production Of meat We have
been operating a plant here at the
college for some years past and beg
to assure you that we have no ia
vorites and do not wish to be put in
a position of advocating one breed
at the expense of others. On the
other hand, our experience with the
various breeds as layers necessitates
us, in justice to the facts as We have
found them, in stating that the Leg
horn has proven a very desirable
breed for the purpose. We do not
imagine there would be any differ
ence to speak Of between the Brown
and White Leghorns. Moreover, there
are other breeds which have made
very acceptable records with us as
layers. A good deal depends on the
strain selected and the method of
feeding and management accorded
the chickens. These are fundament-
al truths which must never be over
looked in any discussion Of a PROPOSE
ton of this character. There is an
old saying that there is more In
the man than in the land, nd II e
is certainly as much in the man as
there is the bro"7 I we've" we
are maintaining a large flock of fine
Leghorns as layers for the production
of broilers at say nine to eleven
weeks.
For general purpose breeds there
are several that might be suggested.
We have found the Rhode Island
Reds, the Plymouth Rocks, the
Orpingtons, the Brahmas and other
sorts good for various purposes.
For general purposes the Rhode IS
land Reds and the Plymouth Rocks
seem to be preferred by many, The
Orpingtons, of course, are favorites
of many. When you wish to produce
heavier breeds, such as friecs or
broilers, we are disposed to think
some of the heavier breeds mention
ed, or general purpose breeds like the
Rhode Island Reds or the Plymouth
Rocks, would prove more satisfactory
than a highly specialized breed which
might be better adapted for laying

co-ordinated Efforts Needed

Most of our counties lack co-ordi-
mated effort at this time and as a
rule they need advertising. It has
often happened in a county. for in
stance, that there have been. several
thousands of hogs which have been
assembled and sold to advantage IN
car load lots. Up to this time no
one has undertaken to make an agri-
cultural survey and dicovered this
fact, and as a result the hog interest
las languished When the county
agent came along, through the agency
of the farm bureau it has happened
that several car loads have been
shipped out through the efforts Of
this organization. One of the chief
things of advantage in a county farm
bureau is the organization of the ad-
visory board, representing men and
women in every walk and calling
in the county. 1t is the best plan
which has been devised to bring the
city and the country in closer touch
and therefore it is one Of the most
beneficial institutions which it has
been undertaken to organize in this
country.

ing and appreciation of what a county
fran bureau may stand for and

The County Farm Bureau

The work and progress of the COun-
ty farm bureau are now attracting
much attention in Georgia and in the
other states of the southeast. Few
people realize how strong an effort
has been made to organize bureaus
of this character in this state. Ini-
tial efforts to this end were begun
several years ago, but it was only
in the last twelve months that the
fruition of these years of effort has
become evident. At the present time
there are some seventy-siX counties
which have farm bureaus in Georgia
and more of them are being organic
ed from time to time.
In order that a better understand
ing of the purpose of the farm bu
reau may be had a brief summary of
what has been accomplished in
Georgia is presented below. A short
outline is also given showing how
the county farm bureau is organic
ed so as to make it a community
center and an integral part of the life
and work and progress of the coun-
ty or community it is intended to
serve. 1t is strictly q local orgQni-

AWARD IF CONTRACT
 FUR MESA-TEMPE
 ROAD PLEASES MANY

MESA, Aug. 30--Among the people of the valley who are acquainted with McElrath and Shumway, the con- tractors whose bid for building sec- ton 2 of the Mesa Tempe highway, there is a general feeling of satisfac- ton over the letting of the contract. The contractors have signed up for the work, but it ye, remains for the supervisors to add their approval to the bid. That this will be done, those who know the contractors do not doubt.
 o. c. McElrath is one of the most energetic cotton growers of the south side and within the last two years has made a most enviable competency in the industry. However. while he now is a rancher, the fact remains that his life has ben spent largely in road build ing and construction work. He has the reputation of knowing the busi- ness from one end to the other, coupled with an energy that is unbounded.
 Spence Shumway is in the cement business in Mesa. He also is a prac- tical contractor and builder, though recently he has been giving the bulk of his time to cement construction work. Shumway IS a driving sort oi individual who keeps his work nov ing just as fast as men and material can be handled.
 Wherever comment is heard upon the awarding of the b ds, the opinior seems to be that for quick and satis- factory road building, the right meI have been secured. Section 2 will ex- tend from Mesa to the railroad just this side of the city limits of Tempe

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-Although live hogs have declined slightly better than $3 a hundred pounds in three days and dressed beef was down g hundred pounds in the wholesale markets today with general bearish sentiment pre- vailing, consumers in Chicago today had gained no apparent benefit.
 The retail price of beef, pork and mutton continued high, though nut ton was down with beef and pork in the wholesale markets. The drop in live hog prices at the stock yards to- day was about 50 cents below yester- days general average.
 wholesale beef prices have shown an almost steady decline for almost four months" according to a state ment from H. D. Swift, vice president of Swift and company. today. Our company's average wholesale price of beef sold in Chicago the week ending May was $20.s1. The week ending August 16 it was s17.54 as against s1663 for the week ending August 23.
