1851 Month Per Cow

There was a time when the
State of Wisconsin was about
the poorest state in the union.
Today Wisconsin is said to be
one of the richest. 1t was dairy
ing that made her one Of the
most fertile and prosperous of
all the states.
Expert dairymen say South
Georgia is as we'll or better
adapted to dairying than any
section of the country, and in a
recent bulletin, F. M. Conner,
of the development department
of the Seaboard Air Line, gives
some figures from the small
dairy herd Of Henry Fem, near
Cordele.
Dairying, when operated in
connection with other lines of
farming, will pay handsomely.

January, 1928, $28463.

March, 1928, $228.41.
Mr.. Fenn's average received
from these IA cows for eight
months for cream-from October

$l33.21; average per COW per
month, 1851.
These IA COWS were only ordi-

allowed to run through the fields

of concentrates at night.

BANKERS DIRECT

Rising Crime Wave and Attacks
I on Banks Called Forth In

Criminal activities against banka
have reached unprecedented proper.
tions in recent months, according to
a report made to the American Bank
ers Association by its Protective
Committee, which directs the work of
the Association aimed to combat Grim.
inal operations against banks.
SHARP increases in crime perpe-
trated against banks definitely prove
that instead Of being broken the
crime wave has risen to heights here
tofore unknown to the banking fra
ternity." the report said. strangers
continue to trick or otherwise in
veigle unsuspecting banks into max.
ing generous contributions to their
cause-a terrific toll which defies the
imagination. Bank burglars and hold
up men have apparently redoubled
their activities during the last six
months. The number of criminals
plying their trade in this field has
grown to such proportions that there
is now fair sized army comprising
this more desperate type Of criminal,
specializing against banks"
Don't cash checks for strangers"
is the warning emphasized by the
Committee in view of the situation.
1t adds:
I'VE are gratified to report favora-
BILE results in good proportion OF
cases investigated, which are due to
the nationwide activities OF our de-
tectiye agents through their stan OF
specialists in bank crimes. In Mon

ed more than score of banks with
such reckless abandon that the situa.
tion seemed beyond control. Realiz-
ing that conditions demanded prompt
and drastic treatment. trained crew
OF operatives were delegated to con.
duct special investigation through
out the state. Nineteen men and two
women were arrested. OF these four
already are serving sentences. three
are on trial, four are. awaiting trial
and the rest were freed for lack OF
evidence
"A similar roundup was carried ont
In Oklahoma. Conditions In other
states similarly bad were investi.
gated and with the cooperation of To-
cal, state and federal authorities and
the co-ordinated activities of MON.
bers the percentage OF arrests and
convictions has materially increased"
The report pointed out that figures
covering bank burglarles over pc
riod OF thirty years showed that 1909
banks, members OF the Association
and entitled to its protective services,
have been attacked. suffering losses
aggregating sl,l96.000. while non.
members to the number OF 1857 were
burglarized and suffered s4.250.000 in
losses. The point was also brought
out that there are only half as many
non-members as members. so that
these losses among them represent an
excessively high rate as compared
with members.
