AMERICAN CAMP
A STONE WALL
Packing Plant Holds Forth
Big Possibilities. Local
Men Are Investigating
Plant At Moultrie, Ga.. Has Made That Section Rich
And Prosperous. Washington Men Believe
Same Can be Done Here.
? number of local business men.
Interested In the prospects for a
packing: ^0)&nt In Washington, are
planning to v sit Moultrie, Ga., In
the near future, for the purpose of
seeing, the developments that hsve
taken place there. The Moultrie
packing house is one of the most
successful In the South and lias been
of immense benefit in developing the
surrounding section.
A letter was received this morn
ing by Capt, George T. Leach from
13. T. Lamb, president of the Atlan
ta, Birmingham and Atlantic Rail
way Company, regarding the Moul
trie plant. Mr. Lamb was formerly
president of the Norfolk Southern
WMtUuaaB? <
He etatee that the preaent capacity
of the packing house of the Georgia
town is 54)0 hogs and 60 head of
cattle, the capacity being based on
the cold storage and not on the ma
chinery for killing. By increasing
the storage capacity, Mr: Lamb
states, they could handle with the
present machinery about 1,000 hogs
a day They have killed practically
their full capacity of hogs for the
T>a?: six months, and were not able
to take all they were offered. Tho
plant ? from a financial view ? is a
big success an dis paying big divi
dends.
The lntlal cost of the plant at
Moultrie was 1100,000. From ev
ery direction around the city, those
who havo hogs are taking them to
the Moultrie Packing Company and
selling them for spot cash at the
market price as quoted In Chicago,
and the farmers who have no hogs
or carile are preparing to turn their
cotton fields Into grazing lands for
the purposo of raising something '
that In Cm "good as gold." The Eu-'
ropean war has taught them that cot- ,
ton Is not always king. The Moul
trie Packing Company has shown
them that stock raising pays better
than cotton, and Is more reliable as
a cash asset.
'For some years past, the farmers
of Georgia have boon advised to
"ralso more corn." "Why?" they
would say. "To feed to your cattle
and hogs." they would be told. "Bnt
why nAse cattle and hogs?" would
come the counter question. That
question has been answered by the
Moultrie packing plant, and as that
section around Colquitt county has
been transformed into a live and
paying market for stock, so can ev
ery other section of the South be
made to feel prosperity that Is sure
to spring from a ready cash market
for every pound of pork and beef
that can be raised.
-The Moultrie plant Is creating a
market for hogs and oatUe in a ter
ritory of a hundred miles around
Colquitt county. It la drawing from
counties In Alabama, and large ship
ments have been made from such
towns as Doth am, enterprise and
Aahford. It has Invaded Florida and
many carloads have been shipped
from that state. From Montezuma
on the north to Quitman on the
south, tft Georgia, the people hare
caught the fever and are shipping
all their hogs and cattle to Mtaltrle.l
With something with which to
demand the cash and with an Incen
tive to raise jttmetlhng else besides
cotton, (he people aronnd Moultrie'
have quit talking about business de
