FEEDER Pigs
NEEDED N GEORGIA

MOULTRIE, August County
agents from IA southwest Georgia
counties attending a meeting here
for the purpose of discussing the
hog situation and laying plans for
encouraging greater production
just at the beginning of a new cy-
Gle of high prices, declared that at
least $4,000 feeder pigs could be
placed on farms in this section
within a week if that number could
be secured.
The meeting was called by j.
Phil Campbelel director of epten-
sion work for the state College Of
Agriculture. Mr. Campbell said
that there was every reason to be-
lieve that the price of live hogs
would be high for number of
months and voiced the opinion that
the surplus of present bountiful
feed crops should be marketed
through hogs and cattle.
lie told county agents to encour-
age an even greater production OF
feed crops next year in order that
Georgia farmers may take further
advantage of the situation created
by the short corn crop in the West
and the big reduction in hogs. Stock
yard representatives, attending the
meeting declared that they doubt
ed the possibility of filling the
orders for the thousands of feeder
hogs wanted. The purchase of
gifts from the West was looked
upon as the next best bet for meet
ing the situation and several cars
of gifts from. the West will be ship
ped into South Georgia immedi-
ately.

sumed consideration Of proposed al

WHAT'S Going
EUROPE
DAWES PLAN
POLITICIANS
On in World
By CHARLES P. STEWART

The experts who are trying t.
settle Europe's troubles haven't ac-
complished much yet. On the
one hand, an agreement seems lni-
possible. On the other hand, the
consequences will be so terrible if
no agreement is reached that it
seems as if there must be ore,
America offers the only hope of
salvation. Yet it's doubtful if Eu-
rope-that is to say France-can
accept salvation on America S
terms.
UP TO AMERICA
The difficulty cehters around
the Dawes plan. The Dawes plan
isn't the only one that might be de-
vised, but if that one can't be made
to work, it isn't likely any other
one can. Boiled to the bones the
Dawes plan is that America shall
advance $200,OO0,0OO to Germany,
to set her on her financial feet and
enable her to begin paying off
principally to France.
BANKERS ULTIMATUM
But the American bankers won't
make the loan unless assured that
Germany shall be immune from at
tack until they get their money
back. YES" says the French, but
suppose Germany, getting on her
feet, refuses to pay us" If you at
tack her, no matter what the cir
cumstances," reply the bankers,
I'VE shall lose our S20O,OOO,O0Q,
We shan't risk it unless you prom
Use to keep hands off until Ger
many returns it to us in full.
FRANCES HANDS TIED
Its easy to see the bankers
viewpoint. AS bankers they're
quite right. It's easy to see
Frances viewpoint, too. The
French argue that Germany, as
likely as not, will use the $2OG,-
100000 to build up new fighting
machine for use against France.
and in the meatime Frances hands
will be tied.
THE ALTERNATIVE
Yet if the Dawes plan has to be
abandoned German credit and
German money will sink to zero i'm
mediately. If German credit col
lapses, French credit will collapse,
too. This has been prevented thus
far only by the popular belize
that the Dawes plan would succeed
If German and French credit go to
pieces completely, the reaction will
be worldwide.
RESTING UP
Politicians have been resting
mostly, since the Cleveland and
New York Republican and Demo
cratic conventions an the Progress
sive conference at Cleveland. How
ever, the parties have completed
their campaign committees and the
opening oratorical shots will be
fired in a few days.

TOBACCO CROP IN
FIELD BRINGS CASH
Pelham Farmer Sells Fifty Acres
for 50, Netting Him
Profit of $4,000

PELHAM, Aug. IA tranac-
ton that has caused much interest
in this section was the sale by Owen
Davis of his tobacco crop, consist
ing Of fifty acres, 70 a Valdosta
firm for the consideration Of $a,-
500. 1t is understood one-half Of
this was paid down with the ball
anee payable in cash within fifteen
days.
Mr.. Davis is a well known plart-
er Of this country, and while he had
a good crop of tobacco it is nor
considered better than the average
tobacco crop in this section. 1t is
understood Mr.. Davis says, this
price nets him a profit Of about
$4,000 on the fifty acres after all
lowing for all expenses, including
the costs of building his barns.
The tobacco crop in Mitchell
county is very fine this year, and
it is said by tobacco men from
North Carolina who have come
down to attend to market to be
some Of the best tobacco they have
ever seen.
II the price paid Mr.. Davis is an
indication Of those that viii obtain
when the markets open in Camilla
Wednesday Of next week, there will
be great deal Of money circulate
ing in the section within the next
thirty days.

DOG DAYS STARTED
ON MONDAY, JULY 28

BROWNSVILLE, August Il
There are all sorts of ideas as to
when the Dog Days begin and some
OF the papers have had it starting
on july 21st. According to Greer's
Almanac, which is much relied on
here and also according to the be-
tef handed down for a long time,
the first Dog Day comes on july
18th which was Monday,
There are many superstitions or
ideas connected with the Dog Days,
one is that if it rains on the first
Dag will rain for forty days, one
Is at hooking birds never sing
during the Dog Days, one is that
dogs are liable to go mad during
that period and if some old colored
resident is questioned there will be
a number of other things that viii
happen while the dog star is RUM
ing things, so watch your step. The
Dog Days, so-called, embrace the
hot, sultry season during July and
August when Sirius, the dog star,
rises with the sun, AMI probably
assists that luminary in its work OF
warming up things, at least that j:
the way it feels.
