Haskin and was recently published in The State. It is of such timely interest to South B Carolina farmers that it is herewith " published for the benefit of the farm8 ers of Chesterleld County. t * Savannah, Ga., April 5.?The two figures in Georgia affairs which are the subject of most talk and specula- 1 ^ tion at this time are the Georgia hog and the Georgia negro. ? The Georgia hog, fattened on such , - delicacies as peanuts, velvet beans 1 i and sweet potatoes, is attaining a i popularity, both at home as a farm i 1 product and in the Northern markI ets as ham atnd bacon, which promis es wonderful things for the future. < r It shows the Georgia farmer how to i > break the grip in which the cotton i I crop has held him for a century. i > But 'this rosy future is as much i ' dependent upon the Georgia negro as i ; upon the Georgia hog. And the ne k gro has just returned from war. Ap parently he has not yet decided just what he is going to do, and since the wheels of industry in these parts can i I not turn without hiiri thin hmitatinn is a matter of keen and widespread i interest. ..w&tyMH At present, according to reliable j account, most of the dusky heroes < are engaged in telling about what < they saw and experienced in France,' 1 and in trying to trace the ultimate ] consumers of those allotments which i they made in haste before leaving. 1 One returned negro soldier, accord- \ ing to local report, went to the chair- ] man of his local board and respect- j fully asked to whom he had assigned i his allotment. 1 "Why, to your wife, Sam," he was < told. - ] "Yas suh, mah wife," Sam agreed, i "But would you-all mind tellin' me i what's her first name?" i However, negro soldiers were by j no means the only ones who married i and made allotments rashly and in < haste, and not all negro soldiers were 1 rash and hasty in their choice of war i brides. One wife of a negro soldier i still in France drew $600 on account j of allotments recently and invested I the whole sum in a mule, a plow and a piece of ground so that her lord j might go to work immediately upon his return. i And when the negro man does go back to work, he makes better terms than he used to. His day's work used to be in his own words, "from cant' see to couldn't," meaning from before daylight to after dark. Now < ' he refuses, * * * to work more than ten hours a day, and gets more for the ten hour day than he used to get for 14 hours. No one blames the negro for bettering his lot all he I can, of course, but they wish down here that he would quit being a hero as soon as possible, and get down to work. The war is responsibly for the present position of the hog in Georgia as well as that of the negro. In 1916 there were only 1,800,000 hogs in the State of Georgia, and the ' people were paying $40,000,000 a year for pork products from other States. It was then that the food ad- ' ministration and the department of pt 14 Heine appetite v and direction. gg i J Three flavpra, g S < outfh to make H > good, we 1 It good until jj :aled package 1 , of?guarding. 1 . delicious con- f? leficlal goody. | 1 or Lasts I 1 KEPT RIGHT 1 ?-y-? agriculture sent out the urgent plea that each section raise as much of its own meat as possible, thus saving transportation as well as adding to the meat supply. The way Georgia responded to this call is shown by the fact that there are now 3,043,000 hogs in the State, and the export pork products exceeds the import, which has already fallen to $16,000,000 a year. The gain in quantity is not by any means the only gam. A few years ago there was the merest scattering of high grade hogs in Georgia. Today the Duroc-Jersey and Hampshire | hogs are being raised and sold all over the State, and numerous farms have been established for the purpose of supplying the farmers with blooded stock. The fact of the matter is that in responding to the hurry call for increased meat production most of the Georgia farmers discovered for the first time how finely their section is adapted to the production of hogs and how much better it is to have two sources of income instead of one ?one having always been cotton. Puttiihg ham and bacon on a hog is what makes him valuable. Mere fat produces only the lower Grades of pork products. 'And the valuable "streak o' lean" is the result of a mixed diet. Now a Georgia farm is the very place where a hog can get a mixed diet. Almost anything will grow down here and the growing season is three-fourths of the year. They plant the corn rows about three to sevem feet apart. Between the rows they plant velvet beans which climb the corn stalks and peanuts, locally known as goobers. The hog is usually turned into the held to clean up this growth in the fall. Of course, the peanuts are gathered and marketed when there is a market, but the bogs always get part of the crop, and sometimes get it all. The same is true of sweef potatoes. They are raised for the market and since the South has discovered what kind of a sweet potato the North wants, marketing has become more successful. The Southerner likes a red, juicy sweet potato of the yam type. A dry sweet potato finds no favor with a Southern epicure. And it took the South a long time to realize that the North wants a dry, mealy, pale looking sweet potato, resembling an Irish potato as much as possible. Now, such sweet potatoes are being raised quite generally for the northern trade. And the hog stands by to take what the North doesn't want. He has no prejudice against either kind of sweet potato. He gets all of the culls in any case, and when the crop is large he gets some of the choicest potatoes. Thus he is always at hand to absorb and turn into ham and bacon any crop that does not find O rna ir movlrnf ~ m ?vuuj iiiaincv.

Whereas, An Act of the General Assembly of this State passed at the recent session, provides that the County Board of Commissioners of Chesterfield County, South Carolina, shall order an election in Mt. Croghan Township, this county, on the question of issuing bonds not exceeding $40,000.00 and bearing interest not in excess of 6 per centum and to be redeemed within 30 years from issue to be used exclusively for road improvement and maintenance in1 said Township, on the petition of one-fifth of the Free-holders and onefifth of the qualified voters thereof, And Whereas at a special meeting of the said Board of Commissioners held at Chesterfield, Courthouse, in said Coufnty, on the 19th day of March, 1919, petitions were filed in the office of the Board showing that the said act had been complied with and that more than the number of freeholders and qualified electors in Mt. Croghan Township asked for an election in said township under the terms of said Act, Now, Therefore, notice is hereby given that a special general election ig ordered to be held at the various precincts of said Township on the llth day of April next (1919) to determine whether said Township shall issue not exceeding $40,000.00 in Donas Deanng interest not over 6 per centum and running for not over 30 years from date of issue for road improvement and maintenance in Mt.

And in case the cotton crop fails, or cotton prices are very low, he is the farmer's financial salvation. With all of ihese considerations in his favor, it is a wonder the hog has not won an even more important place on'the Southern farm than he now enjoys. The chief reason is that he does not fit into the credit system of the country. Any man who is in a position to raise cotton can borrow money on his prospects in any Georgia town. The cotton bale is as much a unit of trade is the dollar. But the same can not be said of the hog. He is a newcomer. There is nothing against him except the forces of custom and inertia. And these are being overcome. At present the chief need of the Georgia hog is more corn. For while sweet potatoes and velvet beans and peanuts and all the other waste and forage of the farm are good enough for him to grow up on and give him distinctive flavor and a Arm flesh, corn remains the one and only "finishing" feed. If he is to compete with hogs from other sections of the country in the great markets, the Georgia hog must be intensively corn fed for a short period before his execution. Georgia grew 68,000,000 bushels of corn last year, all of which was fed to live stock- in the State, and it is going to grow 110,000,000 bushels this year. Yet there is not enough corn for the growing army of hogs. This means that cotton must surrender still more of its acres to corn before Georgia pork can be put on a firm basis. And there is little doubt but that cotton will do so. Right now, when cotton prices ought to be going up, they are going down. The boll weevil is marching toward the sea like another Shermani. Meanwhile Georgia pork is fetching top prices in the Northern markets, and the Georgia porker is thriving. No wonder that the Georgia planter, looking back over his long and losing struggle with the cotton market, plants old cotton fields in com and buys more and better hogs. ~Dsror MISERY I Much Suffering is Needless.
