DAYS HOCSALE
NETS$l5,OOO TO
FARMERS HERE
Excellent Prices Paid
Both For Hogs and
Cattle

Approximately $4,000 worth of
hogs and cattle were sold at the
farmers cooperative sale at the
Spring street pens Tuesday after
noon. 1t was the largest sale of this
character ever held in this section
of Georgia. The hogs disposed of
numbered 420 head, and A cattle
were sold. The cattle, filling one
car, were. bought by the Macon
Packing company and the hogs, re-
quiring six cars for shipment, went
to the White Provision company, of
Atlanta. About so farmers partici-
pated in the sale.
The prices paid were considered
exceptionally good. The hogs sold
for $14.45 per hundred for tops,
which was nearly cent above the
quoted prices for the day at the pack
ing houses, Tifton, Moultrie and Ma
con quoting No. hogs yesterday at
$13 to $13.75. The cattle, although
mostly of the scrub type, sold as well
as the hogs, tops bringing $3.50 and
the others $7.55, which was said to
have been two cents per pound more
than has been paid locally for the
same grade stuff within the last few
days.
The hogs graded unusually high.
The No. rs totaled 268 head, with
la No. 2, 80 No. and No.
hogs. Most of the animals were in
fine market condition, of good size,
and all around of a quality to tempt
the buyers best price. Several pack
ers had their representatives on the
ground and there was keen competi-
ton for the offering.
The cattle were graded by Chas
M. Kellogg, cattle expert from the
state college of agriculture. This
was the first hog sale at which cat
tie had been offered, and the expert
ment proved profitable for the farm
ers, as it developed that the grades of
cattle offered were in strong demand
at this time and at price consider
ed good for their grade.
81 am exceedingly we'll pleased
with the result of this sale," said
George o. Marshall, county farm
agent under whose direction the
sale was held "The number of hogs
offered and their qauilty shows plain
ly that the farmers are learning to
hold their hogs later in the season
than heretofore, rather than to mar
ket them in the winter months when
the market is glutted and prices low.
The prices obtained go to show the
soundness of this advice to the farm
ers."
The next farmers cooperative sale
will be held at Plains on April 6.
Another one will be held at the Am
ericus pens about the middle of April,
according to present plans.

FARMERSBAND
TO FIGHT CITY
LABOR'S GAINS
Million Strong. They're
Out For More Work,
Less Pay

CHICAGO, March ia million
American farmers have banded to-
gether to fight short hours and high
wages of city labor. These farmers
are members of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, the national or
ganization of which was perfected
here recently.
"We desire to point out that
large factor in the high cost of living
is the curtailment Of production
through short hours, lessened eficien-
cy Of labor and strikes" the fedora
ton formally declared.
Delegates insisted the high cost of
living is due to the high cost of la
Dor, and TO the fact that "city labor
no longer produces as much per man
as it did before the war;"
Farmers Blame City Labor.
"And yet" as one speaker pointed
out, these same short-hour workers
in cities are complaining loudest be-
cause food products are higher IN
price. Of course food is higher. 1t
costs more for the farmer to grow
food. 1t costs more because city la
Dor has forced up farm labor wages,
and has increased prices of every
thing the farmer buys"
The American Farm Bureau moye-
ment began about three years ago, in
Missouri. The originator planned a
Observation-Disclosures organization.
1t spread rapidly into practically
all agricultural states. Today there
are a million members.
It's Conservative Group.
1t is the most conservative of all
farm groups, and is bitterly opposed
to such radical farm organizations
as the Nonpartisan League. The ma
tional convention opposed govern
mental interference with the econ
omic law upon which great industries
are founded.
This was interpreted to mean
that the federation is again such gov
ernment regulation systems as is
proposed to curb the Big Five Pack
ers. The packers were well repre-
sented at the convention. The key
note speaker was Thomas E. Wilson,
one of the "big FIVE"
The Farm Bureau Federation de
clared for longer working hours,
smaller wages and more work for
both city and farm labor
J. R. Howard, Clemons, Ia, presi-
dent, has been voted salary of S.
900 year and $4,000 travelling ex-
penses.

DOUBLE MORAL
STANDARD NEXT
REFORM-BRYAN
Prohibition Makes Il
Easy, Is View Of
Cornmoner

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE
next great reform due in the United
States, William Jennings Bryan be-
lieves, is the elimination of the dou-
BILE standard of morals and the ele-
vation of men to the same high level
of personal conduct they demand of
women.
Woman suffrage, in Bryan's opin-
ion, will further this ideal.
In an article in the current issue of
Golfers Weekly, Bryan urges the
abolition of social immortality as ma
tional issue.
He has urged that the principles
of the single standard be written
into the constitution of the state of
Nebraska.
"The overthrow of the saloon
would, of itself, have been sufficient
t. prepare the ground for the reform
which we have under consideration,
Bryan writes, "since alcohol contrib
uted in many to sexual i'm
morality. 1t unlooses the animal in
man.
'"The saloon was the co-partner of
every vice and the promoter of every
fc of sin. The country went
m. than halfway toward the elm
ination of the social evil when it
banished the drinking place.
'"The fight against sexual sins will
be much easier than the fight against
the saloon, because there are no vast
combinations of capital ready to fur
nish an unlimited corruption fund.
''The church will naturally lead in
this reform for the Bible speaks in
no uncertain terms on this great sub
ject. The Master protested with an
emphasis unequaled by anyone be-
fore or since against the discrim-
ination then existing - and still
existing-against women: He that
is without sin among you, let him
first cast a stone at her. is a ring
ing challenge to that spirit of injus-
tice which stones the woman to death
while it excuses the man.
while the church will avail it.
self of all arguments, scientific as
we'll as economic, its strongest appeal
will be to the conscience.
'It will apply the law of service
and use the power of love. While it
holds up before the woman the ideal
of perfect purity, it will force man to
consider the unspeakable selfishness
of one who, for moments fleeting
pleasure, will blast human life and
drag down to the bottomless pit one
made in the image of the Creator"

EXEREME RADICALS
ASSERTING THEMSELVES
(Ru Associated Press. J


Forces of extreme radicalism are
asserting themselves in various Ger
man centers. There are increasing
Spartacan disorders and growing
talk among the radicals of the possi-
bility of utilizing the present situa-
ton to establish soviet rule.
The list of killed from various cit
les and towns is mounting into the
hundreds. There was no direct com
firmation today of last nights report
of four hundred killed in the bonn
bardment of Kiel by warships, but
there is an apparently reliable report
of 100 killed and three hundred

An expression of confidence in the
speedy restoration of the Ebert gov
ernment to complete control has
come from the headquarters of that
government at Stuttgart.

Now Later
Than Average Dates

Seeding is now later than the aver.
age dates for sowing spring crops in
this state, according to A. J. surratt
Of the C4ited States bureau of crops
estimates. April Il is the average
date for wheat seeding to be general,
the work beginning usually abou,
April 8. while this year the frs,
seeding was done about April IL, and
so far has not become general.
According to the records in Mr..
Surratt's office, 1.-The best crops are
obtained when, the seeding is done
early. This seed will go through the
process. of sprouting, even though
there will not be much growth in the
ground because of: coldness of the
soil. and the lack OF sunshine, and
Is thai much further ahead when the
real growing conditions prevail. In
1915 seeding was done in April. and
despite the fact that it was late be-
Tore it made much headway. it seem.
ed to have benefited by being put in
early, as. crops were particularly good
that year, it is remembered.
