PRIZES FOR BEST
MARKET HOGS
Swift & Co., Through Colquitt
Fair, Offer Premiums To En-
courage Industry

MOULTRIE, May 26.-The Col
cuitt County Fair association will
this fall distribute more than $1,000
in prizes on carload lots of fat hogs
to be shown at the fair TO be held
in Moultrie the last week in October.
The offering of the prizes for fat
hogs is a departure from, the usual
custom of fairs, awards generally be-
ing for the so-called "show window"
fancy breeds. Six prizes are offer
ed for carload showings of Colquitt
county hogs.
The same contest with the same
prizes will be thrown open for com
petition by farmers in the counties
adjoining Colquitt as follows;
Brooks, Thomas, Grady, Mitchell,
Worth, Tiff, Bcrrien and Cook.
A carlot must comprise $4,000
pounds or more with hogs averaging
in weight from 165 to $50 pounds
The hogs must be exhibited at least
two days during the fair and will be
scored on the following basis. Fifty
per cent on market finish for top
load and fifty per cent on quality
of the meat.
The prizes covering these compe-
titions will be awarded through the
fair association by Swift & Co.
In order to determine the best
quality of meat of each lot, the hogs
after being exhibited at the fair
grounds and judged for market fins
ish will be slaughtered at the !hck-
ing plant and after being chilled for
48 hours will be judged at the plant,
by a representative of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
Washington; Georgia State College
of Agriculture, Athens; the Coastal
Plains Experiment Station, Tifton; a
committee of county agents repre-
senting all Of the counties contesting
in this competition; a committee of
packers representing tho White Pro-
vision company, Atlanta; Armour
and company, Jacksonville and Swift
and company, Moultrie. The car Of
hogs showing the greatest percentage
of standard hard hogs will be scored
so per cent and the other carload
lots will be graduated down from this
so per cent score on the basis of
their quality and comparison with
the best car. The hogs to be shown
in the competition will be purchased
by Swift and company and paid for
upon receipt at their plant here at
the regular Moultrie market price
on that day. Swift and company will
pay premium of one cent per pound
on all medium quality hogs that they
find in any car. If any standard
hard are found in any car, the pack
ers will pay an additional premium
above the one cent per pound over
the Moultrie market. The manage
ment of Swift and company here
stated the reason for offering these
prices to farmers to produce of bet
ter quality is to assist the grower in
producing hogs of good quality so
that the grower himself may deter

TRAVELS $4,000 MILES IN

CHICAGO, May 26.-National
business begins to look better. This
is true despite the coal situation,
which of course is retanding the re-
turn of prosperity, particularly in the
iron and steel and allied industries.
In Pennsylvania | found that many
steel mills are reluctant to blow in
blast furnaces in spite Of good de-
mand for steel, because of the dan
ger of fuel shortage.
In Michigan, Illinois and Wiscon-
sin | found the same situation re-
flected in the difficulty of getting
material and parts.
1t is unfortunate that it has not
been demonstrated to labor that the
slight reduction in wages to which so
many object SO desperately as
threat against their war-found pros
perity, is not in reality a reduction
at all-since the average purchasing
power of the dollar has come up APP
proximately 13 1-3 per cent more
than the average reduction in wages,
In terms of real prosperity, then
since that is measured in merchan-
else, not in money-the worker is
getting greater power to purchase
the things he needs and wants than
he had at the highest peak of his
war prosperity.
For example, if he still wants silk
shirts, he can buy three of them to-
day for the price of one in 1919
The small but welcome advance in
The price Of agricultural products has
gwen a decided impetus to business.
There has been improvement in both
manufacturing and retail business in
MANY lines and in all parts of the
country.
But there is still much unsettle-
ment in merchandising methods. Bar
gain sales and ficticious values based
on war-price comparison are still
much in evidence, and are doing
much to increase buyer-resistance,
thus sending up the cost Of selling.
1t seems hard for some merchants
to realize that retail advertising is
simply an invitation to the customer
TO come into the store and compare

could supply them with alcoholic re-
freshments is the latest accusation
to be brought against federal pro-

sorted to these despicable methods :
to inveigle into his confidence the
men he was seeking to put behind

w. Paul Carpenter, formerly

made the charges, vehemently de-
manded that Parks commission be
revoked and that he be prosecuted
under the criminal statutes for con-
duet unbecoming an officer Of the
law. Commissioner Carter took the
case under advisement.
