up in like Banner. The spots, kow
•v»r, constitute Bast of the earn of
prosperity that during the last year
have stood oot from the weltering
desert of devastation caused jointly
by the boll weevil and the collapse of
cotton prices.
One of those oases is a little county
almost In the center of the Oeorgia
cotton belt. It Is knoern as Fleckley,
avrned, on its creation about ten
year* ago, for a former noted chief
justice of the Oeorgia Supreme court.
The creation of the county eras
due in large measure to the fact that
located around what is now its seat,
the town of Cochran, there was an
element of buainem men and farm
er* of unusual enterprise. They were
sat off into different counties that
abutted each ether and they wanted
to r-t together and work together.
So they prevailed on the legislature
to give them a separate and single
county government.
Almost concurrent with the crea
tion of the new county there was In
• odurrd into what U now ita terri
t»*y the first herd of purebred Du
rova known to that section. They
were brought in at a utep of advance |
i.<.' ut ration for the boll weevil whose
advent into the area was at that time,
nvnnkneinil ealtk oe, el—
* ic* hat proved.
At that tin* the farming area that
makes up what is now Blackley coun
ty, as well that entire section of Ceor
g»«. was devoted almost eacfoclveiy
to cotton ealtur*. Meat and grain
were imported from the midwest in
considerable quantities. The prevail
ing type of scrub hogs, which spent
most of their time running wild in
the woods, and supplied but a moity
of the pork needs of the population,
could have qualified for either of the
Jokca recited in the beginning of this
narrative. Succintly, hog raising, like
the bogt raised was little more than
a Juicy Joke.
In much of the Georgia cotton belt
neither bog raising nor the types of
hogs raised are yet on the serious
foundation that they should b*. But
In all tha section thara has boon ,-on

Why Buick Valve-in-Head

Motors Have More Power
Internal combustion motors are heat The
more heat retained in their cylinders, the more pow
er they generate.
^ ater-jacketing space absorbs heat.—.
Buick Valve-in-Head motors have abobt 20 per
cent less water-jacketing space than th©- L Head
type and about 15 per cent less than the T Head
typ«.
That is one of the reasons why Buicl$ Valve-in
