THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION I
Blakely, Ga., August 30, 1923.
Governor Walker has called an
extra session of the Georgia assem
bly to convene on November 7th for
the purpose of revising Georgia s
tax system.
o
Prison Commissioner E. L. Rainey
was a prominent visitor to Blakely
Monday. We did not get to see him,
but understand he was full of praise
for the progress being shown in
Early county road work, though his
official position has only to do with
the care and disposal of the State
convicts.
o
The paving on South Main and
Bainbridge streets from the public
square to the city limits has been
completed and thrown open to the
public. If the weather man ever
lets up on his daily shower program
the work of laying the paving on
Cuthbert street will begin.
o
The News welcomes with joy the
advent of the Early County Club
into our midst. This organization,
which is intended to better the agri
cultural and business interests of our
city and county, was born Monday
night, August 27th. Our news col
umns give fuller details. The News
sincerely hopes that the business
men of our county are going to fall
in line ami make the body a real
live wire.
o
School opens in Blakely on Sep
tember 7th. The Superintendent re
quests the News to call attention of
the parents to the importance of
the children entering the very first
day of school. Many of them are
in the habit of entering one, two.
three or perhaps four weeks after
the school's opening, hence never
catch uji with their work, and as a
consequence fail to pass in their
final examinations. Let all children
be entered the first day.
o
Go away from home to learn the
news. The Southwest Georgian, pub
lshed in our neighboring city of Fort
Gaines, hands Early county the fol
lowing jolt:
The Southwest Georgian hears,
from a source it considers reliable
that a citizen of Early county was
recognized in certain select circles
around Atlanta as “official bootleg
ger" for the Georgia legislature
which adjourned last week. We men
tion this fact (if it is a fact) merely
for the purpose of keeping our read
ers posted on a live topic, and not
with a view to thrusting upon our re
spected neighbor-county to the south
and undesirable and possibly unde
served honor(!)
County Agt.’s Column
HAVE YOU BEEN A SUCCESSFUL
FARMER THIS YEAR?
No, you say. If not, why not?
That is the question.
The real reason is because you
plant all of your best land in one
product or not over three products,
and thereby gamble with the weath
er and markets. This is the old
way. We must stop and diversify
our system.
Early county is perfectly adapted
to the following products: Cotton,
corn. oats, peanuts, forages, pecans,
tobacco, cane and melons. You may
look over the chart of our
county in the County Agent’s office,
which was made by the State De
partment of Agriculture, and see
for yourself that cotton and peanuts
are not our only adapted products
and find out what your soil will
grow' best.
This county is perfectly adapted to
tobacco growth and we will publish
particulars of this plant at an early
date. We need to study other crops
and help our present condition.
When the farm is planned for, so
should we plan for our live stock
and poultry. This is, as you have all
experienced in a small way, the most
desirable spot of Georgia for live
stock and poultry. This furnishes an
income the year round and if han
dled properly will save a country
from just such conditions as we are
now experiencing.
For example, the people of Ash
burn, Ga., were a one-crop system
failure and realized that something
must be done. Wisely, they co
operated to decide and after some
investigations, sent a committee to
Selma, Ala., to study the prospect or
poultry, which was very satisfactory.
A local club was formed, not only
farmers, but merchants and all
classes of business men as well. This
was handled skillfully and success
fully and the once dead spot of
Georgia is now a thriving poultry
(naturally this co-incides with the
hog and cow) and live stock section.
Farmers, what are we in our coun
ty going to do? We can’t let our
county go down, down, down. The
time has come, as you must realize
to not talk, but to get together and
decide what to do and how to do it
and start now. Our State Depart
ment of Agriculture will be glad to
inform us on any line we wish and
I am ready to investigate and help
you start a new farming system if
you are ready, and I will be inter
ested to help you solve the question.
Our State furnishes specials on
every line. They are at our service.
Let us co-operate and help our
selves. The time is here when we

County Agent.
