TO THOSE WHO HAVE
ENTERED

What are you doing to insure
yourself of one of the Grand Capt.
tai Prizes in this Prize Distribution :?
Are you doing YOUR part, or are
you sitting back and hoping your
friends will do it all? Up to now
the majority of votes that most of
the candidates have received have
been cast by subscribers who have
been coming into the office in the
regular course of business, paying
up their Times-Recorder subscrip-
ton and casting their votes to the
credit of some of the nominees.
This should not be the case when
the value of all the prizes is con-
sidered. Every candidate should
be doing his or her utmost towards
making THEIR prizes as big as pos
sible. If you friends see that you
are doing YOUR part. they will
jump in and help you pile up a win
ming total. If, however, they see
you are unappreciative and are ex.
pecting your friends to do it all,
they will throw their support else

that those few who have started are

some reason or other progress has
been slow up to now. In number

because they got their Gears knock

corder has received from most cam
didates is coupons and conversation.
Coupons are all very well, but you
will find that some real subscrip-
tions will make much more differ
ence in your standing. More sub
scriptions have actually been re-
ceived at the Times-Recorder's Of
flee in the regular course of BUSH
ness than most candidates have
turned in.
You want to win. Of course you
do. That is evident by the interea
you have already shown. You know
you can win. You know that it is
possible to get subscriptions. They
are being gotten when candidates go
after them. Then awake, get busy
Start something.
One of the to~r1s wise" bows
was heard to remark that it would
take dozens of subscriptions to win
the big prize. And another increas-
ed the ante to hundred.
Will Kick Themselves
The truth Of the matter is-these
wise ~ ones and some others are
going to be kicking themselves
when this election Is over. They are
going to realize then when it is too
late, Just how few subscriptions It
did take to win first choice Of all
the prizes.
Others are going to "Why, I
could have got double chat" Sure
and probably they could have. But
if they don't what's the use Of say
ing, "There's no chance to make
money around this town" after
wards. The time to do it is now,
when it will count for something.
No, Never Again
The Times-Recorder will assert
right here and now that it is not
likelv an opportunity like this will
be offered soon to Georgia folks.
Some apparentlv are scared at
the size Of the prize list. You

LESS PRODUCTION COST AND
BETTER DISTRIBUTION NEEDS
OF 1925 FARMER, SAYS HECKE

not alone in California, but the ma
ton. He must now understand the
problems of foreign production and
trade in addition to the same in this
country.
The important part which agricul-
ture occupies in California is shown
in the following statistics of the
California Cooperative Crop Report
ing service.
The aggregate value of all crops
in California has been steadily in
creasing the past ten years. Califor-
MIA ranked 18th in aggregate value
of all crops in 1909 but had moved
up to fifth place in 1919; second in
1920 and 1921 and then dropped
back to fourth in 1922 and 1923.
For the five year period 19l4-19ls,
the average Sahie of California
crops aaaounted to. $294,22l 900.
While for'theSffve year period 1919
1923 the average, value was estimat-
ed to be $453,492, ,oo0.
Dairy Industry Grows
The dairy industry of California
has continued to advance in the
face of drouth, with consequent re-
duction in feed production, high feed
cost and foot and mouth disease. The
production of butterfat in the state
has advanced TO 125,274, 1863 pounds;
a net gain of over 100000 pounds
over the preceding year. Wholesale
values or manufactured dairy pro-
duets, and market milk have increas-
ed in round numbers from $104, ,000,-
600 to $llS,000,000 Il net gain of
$l4, 100000. The. amount OF butter
manufactured has increased one and
one-half million pounds; cheese reg
lstered a slight increase; evaporated
whole milk was increased fourteen
and one-half million pounds and
the production of powdered milk has
advanced three million *tpounils.
There has been an increase of zap
ptoximately thirteen milhen gallons
of market milk distributed The
manufacture of ice cream during
the sslase six months increased abort
one and one-half million gallons, Il
gain of nearly 20 per cent.
