In one of the pictures Mr.. Popenoe
is shown receiving the hospitality Of
the most important man in the town.
This man owns nine little farms and
is regarded as a prosperous and sub
stantial citizen. With his family, he
is shown in the picture, at the cere-
mony Of serving his guest with
"batido," native drink, made Of
ground chocolate seasoned literally
with black pepper. This drink is
served hot--in more ways than one
and the drinker takes it from half a
calabash.
The necklaces worn by the women
are made OF Guatemalan coins, now

worth more than the face value of
the coinage.

TO CONDUCT EXPERIMENTS ON
HARDENING PEANUT-FED HOGS

Cooperative soft-pork experiments
conducted by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and the
State experiment stations of Geor-
gia, North Carolina and South Caro-
lima during the last three years have
shown conclusively that when hogs,
starting at weight of approximate
ly 100 potinds are fed on field for a
period of go or more days, a soft
carcass is produced, and that it is
impossible to produce a hard carcass
by feeding corn and tankage or corn
and cottonseed meal to these soft
hogs for subsequent period of so
days or less.
The above statement, unanimous
ly approved by representatives. of the
Bureau of Animal Industry and of
the various experiment stations at a
meeting to be held at Chattanooga
April 10 and 20, is not meant to dis
courage in any way the feeding OF
peanuts to hogs in those sections OF
the South that are we'll adapted to
the production of this crop. The ex.
perimental data compiled by the
The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1922-05-11

Southern stations indicate very clear
ly that peanuts are one of the most
economical feeds known for hogs,
and that they can be fed with profit
in many parts of the South, even
though soft hogs are Disseminated
against on the market.
Many farmers in the South have
the idea that soft hogs can be hard
ened by 80 days of feeding on corn
and tankage. But, according to the
department, it has not been shown
that this can be done in twice that
time. Next autumn the department
will start feeding tests to last 90
and even 100 days in an effort to
determine just how long it takes to
firm a soft hog carcass. 1t is an
important problem, as the frmness
of the carcass has a very noticeable
effect on the price paid by packers.

A TRIP TO THE
FLORIDA IRISH
POTATO FIELDS

Irish potatoes are the principal
crop grown They are planted in
January, harvested in April and May,
usually within ninety days after be-
ing planted. Spraying is unneces-
sary and potato bugs are unknown
In 1902 the first crop of potatoes
that attracted attention was grown,
which amounted to 10000 barrels,
representing $50 carloads. In 1909
over 100000 barrels were marketed,
representing 5000 carloads. In 1917
$4,000 barrels were marketed repre-
senting 5000 carloads, and the pri-
ces realized were twice as much per
barrel as in 1902, showing conclu-
sively that the demand increases in
proportion to the acreage.
One great advantage of the pota-
toes grown in the Florida potato
belt is that they come into the big
paying markets at the psychological
moment AS long as the weather
remains cold in the North the old po-
tatoes keep well. and fill all demands,
but when April and May come the
new crop is in demand and big pri-
ces naturally prevail. 1t is then that
the Florida growers hurry their crops
to market and rake down the profits
for their seasons work. The yield
per acre varies from As to 90 bar
rels, which is due largely to quality
of the land, method of cultivation,
etc.
In the early days of potato-grow-
ing in Florida there was little sys-
tenn to the marketing methods of the
farmer. They shipped their product
to the Northern market and "took
chance" on getting their proper dues.
Often they were stung. All this
has been changed Now the COM
mission men from the large houses
visit the Florida potato section per-
sonally and close their bargains on
the spot Growers can get their
checks every day if they so desire.
Sometimes there are as many as so
buyers from the commission houses
on the ground sat one time. They
buy potatoes either by the carloads
or by the crop and they pay cash
down.
Just little taste of what is be-
ing done in the Florida potato sec
ton this year. Mr.. Miller sold 5
carloads off of II acres "a carload
is 100 barels) Mr.. Whitton sold
the potatoes from 20 acres for
$4,000. Mr.. Case had IS acres from
which he sold $5,340 and his entire
expense of every kind allowing a
reasonable salary for himself was
$2,400. Smith Brothers had 120
acres which produced 1900 barrels
for which they received 5000, al
lowing themselves a good salary and
paying all cost to produce and place
aboard the cars, their crop Melted
them S26,00000 Can you beat it?

There is not a single portion of the

Clear Profit for Government.

When stamp collectors buy new
stamps it is a clear profit to the post
office department, since no service is
rendered in exchange for them. Since
the new issue of special delivery
stamps more than $1,000 worth have
been sold to collectors, thus making
a profit of about $500 to the govern
ment, since the designing of the new
stamp and the making of the dies cost
but $439.S1.
