EARLY COUNTY CLUB
HOLDS GREAT MEETING
A goodly crowd gathered in the
court house on Tuesday night to
listen to the several profitable talks
which were made; and these all de
cided that they would tell others of
the plans proposed and have even
a larger attendance on Friday night,
at which time the Committee which
recently made a visit to Turner
county to see ‘‘how they were doing
it,” will make their report. In addi
tion to this report on Friday night
those who are interested will perfect
organization of several county-wide
Associations along lines suggested
in the Tuesday night’s meeting.
Realizing that no more important
subject can be brought to the at
tention of our people, the News is
glad to give an account of the meet
ing Tuesday night.
The President, Col. B. K. Collins,
in calling the meeting to order,
announced that, because of the se
riousness of our present condition, he
felt that the meeting should be
opened with prayer, and called upon
the pastor of the Baptist church to
lead the devotions. The spirit of
solemnity which was manifest as the
people stood with bowed heads,
asking God that His blessing might
rest upon the people, that He
might so guide and direct their la
bors that prosperity and happiness
might abound, indicated the deep
feeling of our citizenship.
In a very happy manner Mr. C. H.
Bishop of Ashburn called our at
tention to our blessings, to the
goodliness of our lands and to the
opportunities opening before us. In
congratulating us on being the “best
County in the best State in the
best Country in a mighty good
World.” he challenged us to be men,
and worthy sons of the worthy sires
who blazed the trails and wrested
from the wilderness this legacy of
rich land. With plain words in an
ordinary conversational tone he told
us of how the people of Turner
county have mastered their problems
by the “Cow, Hog and Hen” plan,
urging that we should "make the
best of what we have and GROW in
to the Dairy. Pork and Poultry busi
ness.” His advice was that we
should not GO into this business,
buying a lot of fancy cows, hogs
and chickens, but. by taking the
cows we have and the hogs we have
and the hens we have, GROW into
the business by milking our cows,
separating our cream and feeding
the skim milk to hogs and chickens
and beginning in a small way to
enlarge, add to, and multiply until
we had a big thing. He went into
details, pointing out the necessity of
a large “Hatchery” instead of indi
vidual incubators, and just how
this might be managed, and touched
with much emphasis on the co-opera
tion necessary to make the plan a
success.
Mr. Bishop’s talk was much en
joyed and many questions were put
to him, show ing how interested our
people are in such things.
“Co-operation” was the keynote of
Mr. W. W. Webb’s splendid ad
dress. though he was announced to
discuss the raising of Tobacco, as
a means of beating the boll-weevil.
He told several amusing anecdotes
which forcefully illustrated the ne
cessity for co-operation. Mr. Webb
is in large measure responsible for
the rapid strides made in recent
years in the realm of co-operative
marketing. In Lowndes county he
fathered the first hog sale ever held
in «Georgia, and his efforts along
this line brought him into such
prominence that he is now employed
by the State to lead iu such work.
He had just come from a large
‘‘Hog and Chicken" sale at Camilla,
where carloads of these were col
lected and sold at prices that aston
ished his hearers. The great ad
vantage in this co-operative sale is
that the man with one hog. or a
small coop of chix received just as
much per pound as did the man
'vith hundreds of a like grade. “The
Spirit of Co-operation,” as lie de
scribed it, was the realization on the
part of Merchant and Farmer of
their interdependence, and in their
dealings one with the other so fulfil
the ‘‘golden rule” that they would
be mutually helped. Selfish “getting
all I can” will never get anything,
for that which hurts the other

fellow will eventually hurt you. He
pied that the merchants should see
to it that a good market was main
tained for the products of the farm,
and that the farmer should pro
duce for the market.
in closing Mr. Webb made eyes
and ears open wide as he told of
Tobacco fields yielding upwards of
SIOO per acre profit, and every fann
er doubtlessly was resolving to plant
Tobacco,, when he cooled their ardor
by cautioning them of the dangers
of total loss, and urged that only |
under the direction of the most
experienced growers should a man
attempt to raise Tobacco.
Mr. Bishop was called back to
answer some questions relative to
the marketing of cream, and about
the details of organization for As-!
sociations. Both Mr. Bishop and
Mr. Webb took occasion to speak iu
the highest terms of our County
Agent, Dr. W. A. Fuqua, urging that
we follow his lead in the matters un
der discussion, and that his advice
be sought all along the line. In urg
ing the building of grading pens for
co-operative bog sales, Mr. Webb an
nounced that he was coming hack
soon and ‘camp’ on us until the pens
were finished.
It was proposed that, although the
hour was late, organization of cer
tain Associations be perfected that
night, but understanding that prob
ably many other of our farmers
would want to have part in this,
it was postponed until Friday, Sep
tember 21, at 7:30 p. m.
