The Southern states at one time years ago produced large numbers 1 of hogs and cured practically all of tlio bapon necessary to feed the peo- f pie. At the present time the same! cannot be said of a single southern 1 Btate and of but few counties in any! Eof these states. There Is one county In Georgia, however, that is show ing others what can be done in raising hogs. Brooks county holds the distinction of producing and selM ling more bacon than any other ae county in Georgia. Recently, 22 ^ wagon loads of cored bacon were ^ delivered at Quitman In ono day. This amounted to 45,000 pounds. . Last year Brooks county raised the meat necessary for home consumption, shipped out several carut loads of hogs and in addition sold M 150,000 pounds of bacon at an average price of 14 cents a pound. This year It is etsimated that Brooks county will sell 250.000 pounds of bacon & addition to what is needed for home cqpsumptlon, and the large numbers* of hogs shipped to the er PASSES THROUGH CITY let TO ATTEND ROANOKE IT- .

About 1,000 head of fat cattle will also be marketed from the county. The raising of live Btock has not been accomplished at a sacrifice of other crops, but has been produced in addition to the rog ular crops, with the rosult that those who have taken up this line of work are bocoming the leading and the most prosperous farmers ,ln the coun ty. The cash receipts for the live stock and bacon sold from the coun ty is near $100,000. What is being done in Brooks county It is believed could be done in overy county in the south. This would put tho farmer on a better financial footing because he would not be dependent upon cotton as his sole cash crop. Bacon can be made a most profitable cash crop which can be marketed in early spring when farmers are so often in need of ready money. The boys of Brooks county have manifested great interest in the organisation of pig clubs and an cx ceedlngly creditable exhibit will probably be made by tho boys a' the county fair io the fall.
