HOGS VS. BOLL WKEV1L. Georgia Fannel' lins Now Way to Fight lCnoiny to Cotton. (Atlanta Constitution.) "Raise hogs and corn and forgot the boll weevil." That's the advice of \V, j. Oliver, of Snellman, Qa., one of tho largest farmers In the southern part of the State, who was in tho city yesterday for the purpose of disposing of a car load of bogs which ho raised wiitin taking his own advice. According to Mr. Oliver, the far mers of this State cannot only raise hogs ns well as they can be raised anywhere else In tho country, but on them he can realize a most handsome prob I. In proof of this assertion, Mr. Oliver points out that ho had inst sold a car ol' hogs which did not cost him, at the outside, more than four cents per pound to raise, while the price be obtained for them here was seven cents per pound, a pr?t :/ fair profit, according to bis way of thinking. And not only ls (here money In raising bogs, Mr. Oliver points out, hut thc success of the business is not dependent upon seasons, at least, not when run as he runs lt. For Mr. Oli ver, unlike most farmers, is not de pendent upon the crop raised during a year for thc sustenance of the hoye he expects to sell in the winier-not by any manner of meaning. There- ls always at least one year's supply of corn ahead tn Mr. Oliver's barns, and If bis crop one year isn't as good as lt might be, he Isn't wor ried in the least as to where the - wherewithal to feed his pigs is com ing from. Ile already has lt on hand. Tho carload be sold in Atlan ta were fattened entirely upon corn raised during 11)09, and be still has some 500 bushels of that "year-be fore last" corn on hand. Rustle for Themselves. In explaining how he manages to raise hogs so cheaply, Mr. Oliver said that one big Item of cost he saves is gathering the food on which the bogs live, ile so arranges bis crops that he gathers nothing the pigs eat save the corn which is fed to them after they have been penned for fattening. The food they got for the remainder of the lime he keeps them, they gath er for themselves just where lt grew*. Mr. Oliver states that he has some thing over 000 acres of his 3,000-acre farm fenced. This he divides into five fields, planting two in oats, one in rye, another in corn and peas, and the other In ground peas. In Mardi be turns his hogs into ono of the oat fields and allows them to remain un til they have grazed the Held thor oughly. Ile then turns the hogs into tho oilier oat field, sowing thc first in an early variety of peas. Ry the time Ibo second field bas been thoroughly .grazed, he puts tho bogs into the Held of peas, and later into tho rye patch, the rye having ripened by this time. Later ho gathers his corn, be tween fhe rows of which peas lia ve been planted, and turns tho bogs loose to gather the peas. In Decem ber he makes tho last shift, this time pulling t ho ho.iis into ihe field plant ed with peanuts. Here they aro al lowed to remain until tho peanuts are gone, after which they aie penned and fed entirely on corn for six or eight weeks. Then I hey are ready for tho market. A Carload ISaclrYoar. The carload of hogs which Mr. Oliver brought Tuesday afternoon is not. the first he has shipped here, not by any means. For a nu inlier of years past he lias brought in a like . number at about tho sante time, and be is now making preparations to double the number next year. As to what his Increase In 19 n will be, Mr. Oliver isn't quito certain at this time, but he intimates that if tho boll weevil ls only half as bad as it is cracked up to be he's going to de vote a whole lol more time to hogs and a whole lot less to the Hooey sta ple than he has ever done before. As lt ls, Mr. Oliver plants almost as much land in corn as ho does In cotton. Formerly he plan it'd equal parts in both, but he found that he was raising more corn than he need ed or could sell to advantage and so CUt down the acreage slightly. At proseat he plants 13 l-'l acres in corn to every 20 acres in colton. His av erage cotton crop ls '!00 halos, while in an avorago year he raises from 7.000 to 10,000 bushels of,corn. In addition to all this, he raises wheat, oats, rye, peanuts, sugar cane, pens and score.? of other things in abund ance. No man who lives on his farm is allowed to buy anything that can be raised on the farm. In fact, Mr. Oliver states that sugar and coffee aro about the only things bis tenants buy to eat. Mr. Oliver says be's a typical "Georgia Cracker," and dog goned glad Of lt. Ile doesn't come to At lanta often, but ho enjoys (?very trip ho does make, especially when he brings a carload of nice, fat hogs which be sells at a profit that's got even tho money sharks faded to a dirty yellow. 100 Millie Worth ( These are stupendous fi amount that the South spem these figures may attract yo curious thing about them is money is regularly sent au South is that much poorer fo; You trade at a Souther dealer your money.
