Foreign~Aclvertising Representative" I 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 MUST, W. A. FUQUA, County Agent.
