Chickens and Flowers

Many of us are devoted to
the growing of flowers; others

the runs with the chickens. A
few are so adequately equip

flowers and chickens can be
kept
AS a rule, however, chicks
and flowers are poor mixers.
Some one leaves open the
gate and an old hen with her
brood of healthy youngsters HES

beds is lost.
To the lover Of flowers, such
is real tragedy. He will

And they are his own chicks and

Can't you imagine the feel

find Friend Neighbours chicks
in his flower bedp
Miss Emily Woodward, edi-

you have to destroy his and
more in this case because you

Chickens should not be al

TWO NEW PARTIES?

Politicians are wondering Wheth-
er the candidacy of LA Toilette or
some other insurgent would draw
more heavily from the Republicans
or the Democrats. On the face Of
it, it looks as if the Republicans
would suffer most-so far as this
next election is concerned. But the
point is that such a development S
tendency, in the long run, will be
to attract the progressive voters
from both old parties into the new
one. And then the tendency of the
regulars in both old parties will be
to combine Result: Two new par

TRUCK MARKETING
CONCERN NEEDED

VALDOSTA, June 5. - D. w.
Cobb, who is running a truck farm
on the Feagle place, is bringing in
lots of extra fine Iceberg lettuce
every day. lie has from ten to
twenty varieties of vegetables and
brings in some of each variety ev-
cry day for the local market. While
Mr.. Cobb is doing well, it will be
easy to glut the market if all the
farmers entered the same line of
business unless there were a pack
ing plant here to handle them for
shipment. Valdosta needs an or
ganization to take care of country
produce of all sort and find mar
kets for it.
