SIX ACRES YIELD
Sl92.76 NET PROFIT
Experiment Conducted by Third
Aggie School Shows Good
Profits in Grazing Hogs

Prof John NJ. France, principal of
the Tihd District Agricultural and
Mechanical school, today authorized
publication of figures obtained
through experimental feeding of 35
shoats, sold at the last cooperative
sale in Americus at a net profit of
S192.76. The hogs were grazed
throughout the demonstration on six
acres Of grazing crops, and given
corn and tankage in limited quaint
ties. When offered in the sale here,
they were generally declared the best
finished in the lot Of several hun
qred.
According to Prof. France, the
three important things fer every
hog-raiser to learn are:
Feed a balanced ration, pigs
need mineral and portein as well as
carbohydrates.
Supplement grain fed with
good pastures. Grazing crops furnish
the ynost economical feeds.
3-Hasten pigs to maturity for
economical gains. Rapid gains Oh
young animals are always the most
profitable,
In order to teach the truth Of the
above statements the Third District
Agricultural school has just com

NEWSPAPER MANAGER

ATHENS, April 10.-Oliver S.
Morton, a former student in the
Henry W. Grady School Of Journal
ism at the University Of Georgia is
now managing editor of the Mont
gomery, Ala, Journal, according to
a report received in Athens. Morton
was a member of the class of 1921
at the university and after complet-
ing his work at the institution he
became connected with the Athens
Banner-Herald as night city editor.
a position which he held until going
to North Carolina. From a similar
position in that state, Morton went
to Alabama where he was elevated
to the managing editors position on
the Montgomery paper. His home

where his parents now live,

This balance Of $192.76 repre-
sent the income resulting from the
pasture of six acres of rape, the gar
bage which was fed from dining hall
and the labor of feeding. This is not
large profit but at the present prices
of corn and hogs, farmers cannot ex-
pect to make a profit on hog feeding.
The average price Of a hundred
pounds Of hogss, Give weight) dur
ing the past twenty years has been
about eleven times the price of
busheI Of corn but in this demonstra-
ton the price received for the hogs
was only about 7 times price of a
bushel Of corn.
Although no great profit can be
shown from this demonstration, the
returns do show that the methods
used are sound and the profits were
without doubt larger than from any
other method that could have been
followed under existing conditions.

Samaritans were a race of mixed
breed. They were the results Of
intermarriage between Jews and AS

hated Samaritans seven worse than
the hatred which exists today in
many places between the blacks and
whites. The Samaritans were the
blood and kin as were the Jews and
worshiped the same God, Jehovah.
Soon hatred, deep and constant,
brought enmity between brothers
and the mortal enmity between these
two people was manifested in the
hottest jealousies. The Jews tried to
Iocalize God in Jerusalem and the
Samaritans tried to confne Him to
Mount Gerazim. But God is a spirit

cannot nationalize Him; you cannot

DECLARES
OPT IMISN REIGNS

ATLANTA, April 10.-"Now's
the time for everybody to put his
shoulder to the wheel and push to-
gether for prosperity" says Ben R.
Padgett, general manager of the
Rogers Realty and Trast Company
of Atlanta, whose firm is taking an
unusual interest in the movement
inaugurated here recently to bring
new industries to Georgia and the
South.
"The optimism now reigning in
business circles" says Mr.. Padgett,
'has a very real foundation and is
not temporary stimulus.
Mr.. Padgett in hi capacity as a
real estate men has made an exhaus-
tive study of business and agricul-
tural conditions in Georgia as well
as throughout tho country. In con-
slant touch with both farmers and
business men, he is in a position to
talk very comprehendingly of the
present situation.
Higher wages, higher prices for
cotton, intense agricultural activity
and interest, money in circulation
more than since the days of inAa-
tjon-all these" says Mr.. Padgett,
spell but one thing-that prosperity
is coming to Georgia swiftly and
surely and it is coming to stay
awhile.
Nov is the time for everybody
to get busy and stay busy says
Mr.. Padgctt. "The optimism that is
with us now is not of the sort that
is based on economic issues that can
not be lodged. But one cannot sit
idly by and pass up the opportunities.
It's time for all of us to push and
push harder than ever before.
Money is easier now that since
initiation days. Turn it loose! Meet
obligations and assume those you
need to assume. But don't depend
on the other fellow to bring things to
your door. Go and get it yourself.
But warns Mr.. Padgett, zone
must not allow mere enthusiasm 10
carry one too far. A great many
people do not allow themselves to
be carried too fast on the wave of
optimism. What is needed is clear
headed thinking, foresight, and bit
of daring. To these must be coupled
the real energy of hard work and
then the issue is never in doubt"

Plain Facts
for
Fair Minds

The literal truth is, that the Hupmobile is fine
car at low price. You can establish that truth
easily, and to your own satisfaction.
The facts are available to anyone. Any indie
pendent garage mechanic will tell you how
soundy and wisely the Hupmobie is engineered;
how finely it is built
Amy Hupnoble owner will tell you how amaz-
inGly little costs for upkeep, and for operation;
and how thoroughly reliable and consistent it is
ia service throughout the years.
Its comparative absence from the used car
columns will give you some idea of it's high
value when you resell it; and its price will con-
vince you that it is one of the worlds greatest
motor car values when you buy it.

to be the best finished hogs yet de-
livered to any sale held at the Amer

Last September when the class

head Of new born pigs. On Novem-

placed ON feed Of corn and tankage
in self feeders and given oats and
rape pasture. Accurate records were
kept Of the feed consumed and the
pigs were weighed every four weeks
so the pupils could have opportunity
to observe and calculate the profits
being made from month to month.
During the winter eleven Of these
pigs were butchered and sold to the
local markets, and the balance Of
the lot we're sold at the cooperative
sale last Thursday.
"A much more creditable fnan-
eial showing could have been made
if there had been q full car load
of these hogs in order to command
a premium for their extra quality

enough of these to make a car load
they were sold at same price with

at Corfu had been placed at the dis

Of reguees or orphans. The premier
announced officially that some of

cause Greece had not accepted the
Italian demands and added that the
landing of a contingent Of naval
forces should not be regarded as a
hostile act and that therefore
Greece should not adopt a belliger-
ent attituce.
The worst had been expected here
since Thursday. for the conviction
prevailed that Italy was planning a
fait accompli before tho i%nterven-
ton of the ~interallled council of am
bassadors.

tween Athens and Corfu was cut off
at 715 o'clock last night.
1t is reported here that Italians
