FARMERS MAKE PLANS
FOR BIG EXC j RSION
Railway Will Run Special Trains
To South Georgia From Two
States, February ID

ATLANTA, Jan. 30.-Farmers of
wo states-Georgia and Alabama
are planning for a big excursion to
riew the agricultural metamorphosis
of South Georgia.
The trip will be made on February
lii over the Atlanta, Birmingham and
4 atlantic railway. Two similar ex-
8cursions were Operated by the rail
Sad last year, one early in August
ID the other the latter part of Sep
Htember. a large number of farmers
&from Alabama and North Georgia
made the trip, and since that time the
agricultural possibilities of South
Georgia have been subject of I'M
usual discussion.
To begin with, South Georgia,
when the stumps have been taken off
the land, is, in reality, prairie couA-
try, according agriculturists. 1t is
level, and the - mellow and easy
to cultivate. II Industrious farmer,
it is asserted, can cultivate twice as
many acres of almost any crop on the
level friable land of South Georgia,
as he can. reach in rough or billy
lands.
South Georgia is a new country,
so to speak, and is rapidly assum-
ing the leadership in the production
of wide variety of cash crops other
than cotton. AS matter of fact, It
is no exaggysation to say that any
one who will make the effort can pro-
duce a cash cHSp for the market each
month during the year.
South Georgia lands, agriculturist5
say, are still exceedingly cheap, and
offer great possibilities for the young
farmer of small means, the renter or
the share-cropper who desires to make
a start and get ahead. Many such
farmers who havd gone to South
Georgia in the recent past are now
landowners and doing well.
Meat packing houses are located at
Moultrie, Triton and Waycross. Al
most every community has its sweet
potato curing house, while co-OperA-
tive hog and chicken ales are held
frequently throughout the year at
many, South Georgia points. Cream

burn and "a new creamery is under
way at Ccrdele. There are a num-
Der Of peanut cleaning plants at sew
cral uqints, which provides a cash
market for peanuts
South Georgia has made great
Roadway in developing markets for
other crops than cotton. Perhaps one
of the most SUGGEST crops grown in
the South this year is tobacco. 1t
lMstated that as much as $500 an
e was made on tobacco in Coffee
county last year. Tobacco houses
are located at Triton, Fitzgerald,
Douglas, Nichols and other points.
1t is stated that South Georgia last
year produced the largest cotton crop
since the advent of the ball weevil
and in spite of the ravages of that
cver-present pest. Some of the far
mers made as much as a bale of cot
ton an acre on large areas last year,
while practically all the industrious
farmers will make satisfactory
profit from cotton.

YOUR BABY AND MINE
- .5a.e By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED
Time of Feedings

We do not need any particular
knowledge OF physiology to under
stand that nothing works constant
ly. There must always be rest pc
riods for every organ of the body
(with the exception of the hearD
in order for it to do its work.
Yet there are mothers who are not
happy unless they are feeding their
children. Their one idea of keep
ing a child contented is to keep him
eating. Nursing every time he Is
awake, later leads naturally to gra-
ham crackers, candy, pieces of or
ange and apple until there is hardly
a waking minute in which the
childs stomach is not busily on the
job.
From the time the child is born
there should be long and even in
tervals between feelings. IL the
child weighs over four pounds he
can as easily be started on four
hour diet as on a three. This idea
of feeding every two hours is fol-
lowed in none of the big eastern
hospitals it having been found that
babies gain as well and escape the
ravages of collie on such n schedule
New Zealand discovered this years
ago and now has the reputation of
having the lowest death rate for
babies in the world.

TO TELL A PERSONS ACE

Among many ingenious schemes for telling persons age
this of the easiest and BEST Let the person whose age
is to be discovered do the figuring Suppose for example, If
it girl that her age fifteen and that she was born IN
August Let her put down the number Of the month in which
she born, and proceed follows Number Of month"; 81

informed that her age is feen and August the eighth
month"; the month of her birth The two figures to the right
in the result will always indicate the and the remaining
figure figures the month the birthday comes in.
This rule fails for all ages up to 100 For ages

Lack of other equipment didn't

Now she can make two-toned kids

no matter how dirty they are.
And the girls are all sending their
shoes down to her room.
They like Miss Moore's work. But

steaming Will Help

One OF the incest ways to cook a
turkey Is to steam it for two hours
before roasting. The steaming pre-
serves the flavor and makes the flesh
tender without danger of becoming
too dry by long roasting. If a
steamer is not at hand a large pail
with a tight-fitting cover can be
used. Tie the turkey TO the cover,
fastening it by the drumsticks. Put
boiling water in the pail, as much
as possible without touching the
turkey. Steam two hours, keeping
tightly covered to prevent steam
from escaping. Use the water to
baste the turkey during roasting.
Rub turkey well with salt and
cover breast with Ia cup butter and
"a cup of flour rubbed together.
Place turkey on its side l.. the roast
ing pan and put in a hot oven. As
soon as the turkey begins to brown
reduce heat, fill the bottom of the
pan with the liquor in which the
turkey was steamed and roast two
hours.
If the turkey is not steamed before
roasting cover the whole surface
with -four and cover the breast with
thin slices of bacon. A self-basting
roaster should be used. Dredge the
bottom of the roaster with flour.
When the turkey begins to brown,
reduce the heat and add water.
Roast about four hours.
