CREAMERY WILL Be
PLACED IN ASHBUR|V

ASHBURN, Ga, May 28.-During
the past few weeks the Ashburn
board of trade has been making ex-
tentive investigation of the dairy in
dustry with the view of interesting
the farmers of Turner and adjoining
counties, as we'll as all of the towns
and counties traversed by the
Hawkinsville and Florida Southern
and Georgia Southern and Florida
Railways, to the extent of getting
them to supply enough cream to war;
rant the establishing of creamery.
AS a result Of this investigation, a
meeting was held Monday afternoon,
at which time a report was given to
the business men of Ashburn, as we'll
as to few of the farmers who were
available at that time. The report
was very encouraging and creamery
for Ashburn was assured. Farmers
attending this meeting expressed
themselves as being enthusiastic over
| THIS phase of farming. They say
! that it is compu! ry for them to
take up something in lieu of cotton,
as they can not raise it profitably
under boil weevil conditions.
They consider dairying a safe and
profitable line to turn to, as it af-
fords a ready market on the farm
for their feed crops, cash income
throughout the year for the sale of
cream. The skinned milk will be
fed to pigs which can be marketed
through the entire year. It is said
that the packing plants prefer milk
fed hogs to those fattened on other
feeds. and will pay a premium for
same. The building up of the soil
through the use of the fertilizer,
thereby enabling the reproduction of
a larger yield per acre and increas-
ed land values is the most essential
advantages of the dairy business and
one in which the farmers are most
| interested.
In order that more of the farmers
may have the benefit of the investi-
cation. which has been made, a meet
ing will be held at the courthouse
Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock, to
which all of the farmers and bust
ness men are invited. Invitations
have been extended to all of the
towns on the two railroads to have
representatives present and to CO.
operate in the movement.

STATE ROAD POLICY
FAVORED BY WATSON

Senator Thomas E. Watson has as
sured the state highway department
of his unqualified opposition to the
Townsend bill, which is one of two
measures now pending in congress
dealing with the continuance of fed
eral aid under practically the same
system as now obtains, The Dowell
measure has been brought to the at
tention of county commissioners,
civic organizations and good roads
advocates throughout the state, with
the idea of securing assistance IN
enacting this greatly needed
piece of legislation Employing prac-
Arthur bill, which failed of passage
at the last session of congress be-
cause of a technicality, the Dowell
bill is being urged by state high
way commissions all over the coun-
try in preference to the Townsend
states of control in the matter OF
locating federal aid roads and would
centralize authority in a commission
at Washington, D. c.
Senator Watson, who is member
of the committee on postotflces and
post roads, has, in letter to w.
R. Neel, state highway engineer, in
the Townsend bill as tending to de-
stroy state control Of highway con-
struction and maintenance. The SEN
ator, who has been at work for some
time on the federal highway aid leg
islation, chara cterizes the Townsend
bill as one (which proposes to penal
ize the states which do not consent
to obey a central highway commit
tee appointed by the presidents and
debating to the states without refer
ence to local conditions in those
states
The Dowell bill, which is receiving
the support of the National Associa-
ton of Highway Officials, leaves the
location of federal aid roads to the
highway departments of the several
states, so that local conditions may
be considered and local problems
solved in the construction of high
ways to serve all sections of the
state.
This policy is Numerically OPP
posed to that outlined in the Town
send bill, which would provide for
the construction of two or three
trunk line highways in each state
by the use of federal aid, thus build
ing expensive roads which would
serve only a fractional part of the
travelling public.
Both these measures are scheduled
to come up for consideration in con.
gress within the next few days and
the state highway department is
making every effort to secure the
cooperation of citizens throughout
the state in getting the Georgia
delegation solidly behind the Dowel:
