INVESTIGATION STARTED
nv THE COUNTY OF HENRY

| to see them is to appreciate the
care and attention he devotes to
them. The artisically terraced roll
ing lands suggest the work of a
landscape gardener.
Live stock and dairying appeal
| to my judgment and fancy" con-
tinued Mr.. Carmichael. 81 believe
| they can be developed into profit
able industries, and I just naturally
| love a fine cow and blooded hog.
They are good to look at and I
| like 'em."
Mr.. Carmichael has made an am
bilious beginning with his hogs. He
now has twenty brood sows on his
place, and he expects to have over
hundred young pigs very shortly,
to be followed by a steadily increas-
| ing tribe of porkers.
"And they will be purebred stock,
too, which is a big consideration, +"
he continued. "I am going to raise
pigs in town, and raise hogs in the
country, because this will enable me
to personally direct the care of the
young pigs"
Mr.. Carmichael is now investing
a lot of cash money in arranging
pasturage for his hogs, the appear
ance of which attest their quality
and the attention he is giving to
| them.
Dairy Cattle Essential
"I believe that dairy cattle are
| the best, if not the chief asset of
the stock business" he added. Gin
other words, realize that the sue
q 9ss of my hog venture depends in
pA TT upon the production of fine
LOT of dairy cattle. The sour cream
industry appeals to me in this con-
meet ion, and just as soon as L can
get any barns in shape and my pas
tura,se in condition, I am going to
begin dairying.. I am going to be-
gin rAg ht,, with quality cows, be-
cause { am a believer in Well-bred
stock"
TT scents superfluouS to remark,
in connec ton with Mr.. CarmichaePs
activity. Mat he produced this year
an abundance of feedstuff for his
cattle, and while he is loft cotton"
next year, IL is not going to dimin-
ish the proda ction Of corn. oats, vel
vet beans anSl hay.
"I know daArying can be conduct
ed successfully. if the cattle feed has
to be purchased" he said. Il am
going to produce an abundance"
Among the era ps Mr.. Carmichael
made this last y ear was lot OF
sorghum, which ia1't for sale.
Il didn't put UP, my sorghum to
sell !" he remarked. 81 made it for
NV cattle and stock. I am going
to make my own seal feed, by mix
ing this sorghum VITA velvet beans
and corn, and I am goa ng to get my
money out of it in THAI way.
Chickens-hundred Of them-are
in prospect for the Carmlchael
farms. He is specializiLN; in White
T,eghorns, and expects to sell the
eggs. Already he has $50 fine hens
and he will increase this NUMBER
very largely.
H. T. Amis is in the boat With Mr.
Carmichael and others who are en-
gaging in diversification tn rough
the production of dairy cattle ana
live stock. He had bad year with
cotton, getting only thirteen ha!es
on $40 acres of land. Fortunately,
his lands produced quantities OIL
corn and velvet beans.
"I figure that I suffered in Ia'o-
portion as others in the county sur
fered from the weevil," said ny.
Amis. "Our normal production rs
around 10000 bales, and this yeaT
we got only $500 bales.
Unfortunately, I am so situated
that I cannot abandon cotton en-
tirely at this time, but L am noI
going to plant more than five acres
to the plow. T am going to increase
NV production of corn and velvet
beans. and I am going to produce
lots of soy beans"
McDonough Mayor Helps
Mr.. Anis is putting in a large
number of registered hogs, and ex-
pects to breed several hundred dur
ing the year. Like Mr.. Carmichael
he is going to milk a herd Of COWS.
He is now engaged in fitting out
farm for the dairying industry
and will specialize in sour cream
using the SKINNED milk to fatten
pigs.
It would not do to mention the
activities in Henry county without
making some reference to the Splen-
did cooperation the movement is
receiving from J. E. Hooten, the
mayor of McDonough. Not a farm
err himself, Mr.. Hooten feels a deep
interest in the development OF the
county, and he is lending every ala
to the efforts that have been made,
and are continuing to arouse peo-
pie throughout the county to the
possibilities of cattle and stock rails
ing.
ct regret that the movement has
not received the countrywide sup.
port to which it is entitled, sala
Mayor Hooten, "but believe before
the next crop is planted enough OF

dividual efforts to make for the
prosperity of the whole county.
-McDonough's chief of police: >.
Dickson-is something besides beng
the peace officer of the community
and a good one. He is much inter-
ested in farming. and. IN a small
way. is one of the leading diversl-
ficationists of Henry. He has breed
ing blooded hogs and he plans to
ship sour cream, the product OF a
couple of fine cows he has acquired.
