Notice To Ben Hill
Poultry Raisers

As has been previously announced
the South Georgia Poultry association
will meet on Thursday night, June S,
at the Chamber of Commerce, and all
poultry lovers and all members are es-
pecially requested to be present at
that time.
Plans are under discussion to put
on an egg laying contest commencing
about November /, several has signi-
fled there intention of participating
in this contest It's to be hoped that
such contest will be arranged for.
The writer has for some time past
had such a proposition in mind, as I
do not know of anything that would
help stimulate poultry raising as this
contest will bring about. In the first
place if this contest is put on, it will
almost be a poultry show for twelve
months Great crowds of people will
visit the place where these hens will
be penned, and if present plansare
followed, some two hundred hens will
be employed in this contest. They will
be trap-nested, and every detail will
be daily and accurately kept and pub
lished each week showing just how
the different contesting hens are lay
ing. This one feature in itself will be
enough to keep the poultry game be-
fore the pubic all the time
This step is not being taken too
soon, we are we'll enough advanced
to put on such a contest. 1t will be
one of the first of its kind to be put
on in all Georgia, so let's get busy
and find out whose hens lay the most
eggs in a given time. 1t will be the
greatest boost that poultry raising has
had, and speaking in behalf of the
South Georgia Poultry association, /
shall hope that we may have the en-
couragement of the business people
of the town, as we'll as the help of
the poultry raisers of the town and
county round about

COMMISSIONERS ARE
WORKING ON PLANS
PAVE KENNESAW ROAD
National and State Aid is Availa-
BILE For Project if Commits
sioners Can Meet Funds

The Cobb county commissioners
are working on plan to pave the
Dixie Highway two or three miles
above Marietta by the help of gov
eminent and state allowances that
are now available. The commission
ers are doing all they can to take
advantage of some remaining avail
able funds from the above sources
and are looking into the matter this
week.
The Dixie Highway above Mariet-
ia to Kennesaw mountain has always
been a very bad stretch of road and
hard to keep. If this distance could
be paved it would be a great aid to
the people who travel over the road
and burden off the hands of the
county road forces.

OF DESTRUCTIVE FIRE ON SUNDAY
MUCH INTEREST IN
Pure BRED POULTRY
BY COBB BREEDERS
Professor Mccoy to Lecture at
Court House on Poultry
Thursday, Feb. Fl

A great deal of interest is being
shown by the citizens of Cobb coun-
ty in the raising of pure bred poul-
try and the indications are that more
pure bred eggs and baby chicks will
be bought this season than ever be-
fore. The experience of our poultry
breeders is that chicks Matched off in
February, March and not later than
April 18th, are more profitable than
those Matched off later in the spring
and summer. Since the early Matched
chicks are more profitable and easier
raised, | want to insist upon the
poultry fanciers of Cobb county max
ing arrangements for their supply OF
Matching eggs and baby chicks al
once.
If you are interested in poultry
production, do not forget to hear
Prof. w. c. McCoy's lecture on next
Thursday, February 21st, at the
court house. An announcement will
be made at this meeting regarding
plan of supplying the county will
eggs at wholesale price.
