Y on will notice the schedule of the

charge. If you have chickens for sale
try and have them in as good shape as

Just give them a normal feed on the

them on the market. There is no mon
ey in feeding "boarders" in a flock of
chickens. Don't forget the date late

ALsA TOBACCO
FIhMER MAKES
x GOOD REPORT
Says Effort Should Be Made to Get
Carolina Farmers To This Section

Messrs ]. c. Leggett and brother
were IN the city today and reported
very increased interest in tobacco grow
ing IN the territory around Alma. Last
year there were 500 acres in tobacco
with heavy yield and splendid pri-
ces. This Year they are planting 1900
acres and building about 800 new
barns. The yield in price per acre
last year was around 1925.
Mr.. Leggett says that it is the opin-
Ion OF all OF the tobacco growers who
came into that section from the Caro-
ollnaS that there will be great
movement of tobacco growers from
the Carolinas to South Georgia coun-
ties where tobacco is successfully
grown in past years and this year. He
says there are several reasons why
TINS movement will take place; one of
which is that generally better grade
OF tobacco can be made; the lands here
are cheaper and many in the CAROLYN
as wish to buy their own lands who
cannot get them in the Carolinas for
less than about three times what the
lands here will cost and, moreover,
there is tobacco disease in the Car
ollnas which inclines the growers
there to move to South Georgia which
appears to be free of any tobacco dis
ease at all and, moreover, a crop of
tobacco can be produced here in much
less time than in the Caro1inas.
Favorable reports come from all ov-
er South Georgia where tobacco was
successfully grown last year and the
general understanding is that in few
years our section will take the lead ov-
er the Carolinas in tobacco production.
he tobacco acreage in the Carolinas
this year is less than last year.
Mr.. Leggett is under the impression
that we should begin now to plan to
get some of these people from the
Carolinas into Ben Hill County for
next year and he thinks the right kind
OF action on our part would induce a
lot OF them to come here

FORD IS BUYING
A. B. { A. BONDS?
New York Hears That If Ford Gets
Muscle Shoals He Will Use Georgia
Road for Route to Sea
(Quitman Free-Pressl


Someone has been buying the first
mortgage bonds and income bonds
of the Atlanta, Birmingham & Allan
tic Railway and rumor has it that the
someone is no other than Henry Ford
the Detroit Automobile magnate, ac-
cording to Commerce and Finance, a
trade journal published in New York.
In this connection, it is pointed out,
that the mortgage bonds have advanc-
ed from 20 to 28 and the incomes from
10 to Il. There has also been purchas-
ing of the common stock of the road.
The A. B. & A. has ASS miles of
main line from Birmingham, Ala. to
Brunswick, Ga, and various branch
es, one from Atlanta to Manchester,
Ga, of 76 miles, another from Fitz-
gerald, Ga. to Townsville, Ga. 80
miles; and third from Seasons, Ga.
to Waycross, 26 miles, the article in
Commerce and Finance pointed out.
The road is in excellent condition
but has little business. and has been
total loss financially. There was talk
of scrapping it, but the people of the
various counties in Georgia through
which it passes rose in protest and
said they would not permit such an
outrage and if necessary, would buy
the road and operate it.
If Henry Ford gets Muscle Shoals
he could use the A. B. & A. to ad-
vantage. He would have to extend the
line from Birmingham to Muscle
Shoals, but that is not long distance.
Connection with the Detroit, Toledo
& Ironton would give him railroad
from his plant to the sea.
One asset of the A. B. & A., that is
of potential value if utilized is its land
holdings in Birmingham and Bruins
wick. There is possibility of making
a real port out of Brunswick and of
the A. B. & A. becoming one of the
crack railroads of the country if Ford
should get Muscle Shoals and buy it.

SATTERFIELO LIFE
PLEA DENIED BY
PRISON BOARD
Holloway to Ask Lunacy Commission
or Appeal to Governor for Mercy

ATLANTA, April III. B. Satter-
field, slayer of R. H. Hart. his brother
in law, lost another step in his FIGHT
to escape death on the gallows Wed
nesday when the Georgia Prison Com
mission denied his plea for commu-
tatlon OF sentence to life Imprisonment
The decision which sent the mid
dle-aged slayer step nearer the death
which was fixed by the State for Ap-
Ri 18th just nine days hence, was re-
turned early Wednesday morning
without word of comment bv mem
bers OF the Commission who had heard
and weighed the evidence and appeal,
Flush on the announcement of the
denial by the Prison Commission,
which is the next to last tribunal with
power to change the sentence to life
imprisonment, came the launching of
movement to have state lunacy com
mission appointed to act on the pris-
oners mental status.
Satterfield has insisted he has been
haunted, that he was directed bv ghost
ly voices and guided by eerie hands
On his every appearance in court,
when given the opportunity to speak
he has reiterated his statement of the
presence of control" over which he
had no counter control.
Just when Attorney Murphy M.
Holloway will ACT in regard to the plea
tor alunac y commission or what steps
will be taken was not fully decided on
Wednesday, but it was announced ev-
cry possible move would be made to
save Satterfield from the hangman's
rope.
Sees Hope Yet
When the news of the decision was
carried to the tall, gray haired man in
the Fulton County Tower he received
it without sign of perturbation, show
ing by not outward sign whatever that
hope was vanishing.
Stolcally he heard the dread words
from the Commission, and as stoically
he repeated his faith that something
yet would be done to save him from
the death penalty. His faith in human
lty, he declared, had not been weaken
ed even by the repeated and unbroken
string of defeats that have met every
effort he has made for a new trial and
mercy.
Another route is open to Satterfield
aside from his lunacy commission ap-
peal, and that is direct plea to Gov
ernor Clifford Walker for execution of
executive clemency. The Governor has
the right to set aside the recommend
ations of the Prison commission and is
sue Communication or pardon.
This appeal will be made, it was
said, unles the lunacy commission
finds that Satterfield is insane and
orders him removed to an asylum for
the criminally insane.

Clun Boys Working
For..Profitable Crops

The following progressive club bows
have borrowed from the banks suffi-
Gent money to pay cash for all ferti-
lizers, seeds, and other materials nee
essary for growing three acres dem
onstratlon crops of corn, cotton and
peanuts at different points throughout
the county. The action taken by these
boys already has been an incentive
to a number of their fathers to change
their methods of farming to some ex-
tent by increasing the, amount of ferti-
lizer used and by better preparation
OF the soils before planting.
They say they are going to- make
more on their three acres than their
boy and the county agent makes. This
is good news and we are glad of the
competition. We have not learned
from these fathers as to the amount
of clear profit they expect to make on
their three acres, but these Club boys
have set their goal at 5000 clear of
all expenses, and will not be salts
fled with anything less than a bank
account in their own name with bal
ance Of 5000. 1t would be we'll for
you to look over this list of names,
it will give you an idea as to your flu
ture leaders in agriculture in the ooun-
ty. Those boys are not only getting &C
curate experience in better methods
of farming, but each of them will have
an opportunity of winning free schol
arship with all expenses paid to the
summer short course at the Georgia
State College of Agriculture. Not on
ly this but they will be in line for a
free trip to the National Livestock ex-
hibition at Chicago.
The twenty-one progressive young
demonstrators are as follows: Elmo
K. Troup, Frazier Swanson, Ralph
Smith, Johnnie Garrison, Russell An
derson, Woodrow Anderson, Milton
Rawlins, B. H. Dorminey, Jr., J. n
Dorminey, Aubrey Ritchey, ]. s.
Ritchey, E. J. Young, Randolph Baze
more, Charlie Bazemore, Robert Chas
teen, J. n. Barrentine, Jr., w. H. Ro-
bitzsch, Horace Wright, Coley Young,
E. H. Hart and Willis Walters
One of the principal points of inter-
est in the spirit of rivalry between the
twenty-one boys in their competing for
the highest prize and endeavoring to
make the largest yields is that each
of them agrees that in case any one
of the Il boys or others who may join
the three acre club gets sick and can
not cultivate and gather their crop,
they will go and assist in cultivating
and gathering the crop for the sick
| boy.
Each of these boys will keep an
itemized expense account of all ex-
pendftures including rents of land, fer
tilizer and other expenses, the kind OF
seed planted and the number of pounds
and the number of bushels made or
each demonstration. They will be in
shape to tell anyone just how much it
cost them to grow a bushel of corn,
bushel of peanuts or pound of cot
ton.
Yours very truly,
c. T. Owens, County Agent.
