ITINERARY FOR THE

CAMPAIGN FOR STIMULATION
AND EDUCATION BY THE
SEABOARD AIR LINE.

For sometime the Seaboard Air
Line railroad, through its develop
ment department. has been planning
a campaign OF stimulation and educa-
ton for the poultry business through
South Georgia along its lines. In the
pioneering movement to market poul-
try eNpeditiously, the Seaboard was
aggressive last spring, being among
the first roads in the country to put
on special poultry trains to buy poul-
try and have buyers on the train to
pay cash at each stop. Several car
loads OF poultry were sold at good
prices.
To increase the permanent supply
OF poultry the road has enlisted the
cooperation OF the federal and state
agricultural departments, the state
college and others in a campaign TOR
this fall to hold poultry meetings,
show pictures of poultry and poultry
houses and poultry care and poultry
marketing. with lectures on selecting
breeds. care of fowls, feeding Tor tat
and for eggs. and many other phases

SHOALS BILL RUSH
C0LDLY RECEIVED
LongWorth Says Place on
Calendar for Measure Has
Not Been Determined.

With the Mckenzie bill, authoriz-
ing acceptance of Henry Ford's offer
for Muscle Shoals formally reported
to the House yesterday, a move by
advocates of the measure to secure
prompt consideration apparently met
with but little encouragement from
republican leaders.
Representative Longworth Of Ohio,
the majority leader, said 1t had not
been determined what place could be
given the measure. He said the resolu-
ton of Acting Chairman Mckenzie of
the House military affairs committee,
requesting early consideration for
the BILL, had been taken up by the
republican leaders to ascertain when
it could come before the House.
Representative Garrett of Tennessee
the democratic leader, declared he
was in favor of the Mckenzie reso-
luton, and would exert his influence
to obtain early consideration of the
bill.
The tax measure and appropriation
bills, Mr.. Longworth pointed out
held precedence over other matters
and, with a request also for prompt
action on the immigration bill, 1t
was difficult to predict any date for
the shoals discussion.
The resolution. Of Mr.. Mckenzie
provides for ten hours debate under
the nve-minute rule, with the time
to be equally divided between edvo-
Gates and opponents.
The bill as formally reported en-
bodies practically the offer as made
oy MI Ford two years ago.

be relieved of all anxiety for the
completion of the crypt without any
detriment to the admira BILE designs
