SUMTER FLOCKS
SURPRISE EXPERT
Miss Smith Picks County
For Special Work
This Year

Miss Maud Smith, poultry special
1st from the State College of Agricul-
ture, has completed her preliminary
campaign in Sumter county for in
creased production of pure bred chick
ems. During this campaign particular
stress was laid upon the superiority
of pure bred stock over mongrel stock,
the value Of the early hatch and the
keeping of records.
Miss Smith was both surprised and
pleased to find SO many large, pure
bred fiocks here. Sumter has not been
given the credit really due her in the
poultry industry because of the fact
that few records have been kept of
the profit or loss of the individual
t1ocks, and practically no reports of
these records have been sent to the
State College to be forwarded to
Washington.
Georgia, also, ranks low in this in
dustry in comparison with the other
states, due, Miss Smith says, largely
to the same fact of few records being
kept or reported. Therefore, she is
urging that owners of pure chickens
IN Sumter county begin this year to
keep a record of all expense and in
come connected with this work, and
at the end of the year to give a copy
of this record to Mrs. DIN Williams,
county demonstration agent, to be
forwarded to the State College of
Agriculture. This will not only ena-
BILE the owners to know whether they
are conducting their business success
fully from a financial standpoint, but
will help Sumter and Georgia to get
credit for work that is really going on
within their bounds.
Several owners, among them C. F.
Howe, Mrs. Ed Morgan and Mrs. C..
R. Morgan, have promised to keep
these records.
After a survey of the state, Miss
Smith has named Sumter as one of
twenty counties in Georgia in which
she will do special poultry work this
year.

DOCTORS URGE
A WILSON TRIP
May Go To California
Within Month, Is
Report

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Al-
though Joseph Tumulty, secretary to
the President, said he did not know
anything about plans under way for
the removal of President Wilson to
California late next month or early
in March, it was asserted in other
quarters that such plans are never
theless being made and that nego-
tiations for a suitable place are 90
ing forward.
1t is declared that the proposal not
only meets with the approval of the
Presidents personal physician, DR.
Grayson, but also with consulting
physicians in the Presidents case
who aver that before the President
can resume his duties completely he
must have a change of scene and eli
mate and get away from the strenu-
Gus governmental environment of
Washington for a time.
William G. McAdoo is also said to
be urging these plans to completion
and to have had a part in the Presi-
dents family deciding upon Califor-
MIA as the proper place. Mr.. McAdoo,
himself, has place in California and
it may be that the President will go
there or to some place adjacent
thereto in the vicinity of San Diego.
Of course should the President s
condition become worse, it may be
necessary to cancel these plans, but
at the present rate of progress his
physicians feel quite certain that the
President would be able to go to
Southern California by sea, through
the Panama Canal, within a month.
Whether he would make the trip on
the presidential yacht, Mayfower, or
on some other government vessel. it
is said. has not been decided. A trip
to Virginia contemplated by the
President last weekend had to be
abandoned on account of severe
weather, the Potomac just now being
swept by blizzardy winds and the
river being dangerously full of ice.
This trip may be taken, however, it
is learned, if the weather moderates
sufficiently in the near future.
