FARM OUTLOOK BRIGHT,
SAYS SOULE’S REPORT
Worst Period of Stress Is Over, Says
Head of Agriculture College.
Athens, Ga.—Dr. Andrew M. Soule,
president of the State College of
Agriculture, has sounded a note of
optimism as to Georgia’s farm out
look.
In his twenty-third annual re
port to the board of trustees of the
institution, he says:
“No other single state has so
transformed or changed its agricul
tural practice and procedure as
Georgia during the last decade,” the
report said. “We have reduced our
cotton acreage more than all of the
other southern states put together
and today we stand near the apex
in the matter of diversified produc
tion.”
Among other evidences of ad
vancement Dr. Soule pointed to the
release of several million acres of
marginal land for increased planting
of trees; eradication of the cattle
tick and improvement of farm ani
mals; expansion of the poultry in
dustry ; co-operative marketing, and
utilization of many hitherto unap
preciated resources.
• the same time the report called
attention to several important issues
tending to retard the progress of ru
ral development. Listed among the
most serious of these was the need
for a substantial increase in the in
come of Georgia farmers. Com
menting that the average rural home
is still far from what it should be,
Dr. Soule continued:
“Manifestly, some plan of stabil
izing production needs to be worked
out, but it is self-evident that the
farmer can not be prosperous when
a third of a crop brings more in one !
given year than a maximum crop in
the next year. . . .
“The variable and uncertain crop
program Still followed on a majority
of our farms needs to be completely
readjusted and placed on a sound
economic basis. We could take |
much of the present gambling ele
ment out of the industry by this |
simple procedure, which calls for !
the exercising of good judgment
rather than the enactment of addi- j
tional laws.”
In this connection Dr. Soule I
stressed the necessity of developing j
"an acceptable program of rural,
education.” Such a program, he j
said, was the aim of the state college
of agriculture through its varied in- j
ter-academic relationships.
During the past year, the report
showed, the college enrollment in the
10-degree courses reached 1,066, 1
while formal construction of some ‘
kind was given to 4,123 students, i
The year’s enrollment included the
largest freshman class in the history j
of the college. |
Through the extension service, j
comprising boys’ and girls' clubs,
4-H Club encampments, farm and ’
home demonstration meetings, and
various other conferences, more
than 500,000 people throughout the
state were reached during the year.
Twenty-four home stuoy courses
were, ottered by correspondence, the
report said, while informative radio
programs carried a daily message on
agricultural matters to many thous
ands of Georgians.
The annual inventory showed the
total value of the college prop
erty to be approximately $1,680,-
686. Through the aid ot friends
and the medium of funds derived
from sources other than state ap
propriations, Dr. Soule said some
improvements had been made to the
campus, buildings and equipment.
The report concluded with an enu
meration of some of the most ur
gent needs of the institution within
the next three years. Additional
land for expansion of the college
farm was cited as the principal need
at present, with veterinary and for
est buildings, a new heating plant
and a creamery and a woman’s build
ing also listed as “imperative.”
“And how is your poor husband,
Mrs. Dorfindinger?”
“Oh, he suffers something awful
with his foot, and I know what it’s
like because I’ve had it in my eye.”

TIMBER OWNERS
PLAN PROTECTION
Forest Service Budget Calls For
Expenditures by Private Owners.
Atlanta, Ga.—An annual budget of
the Georgia Forest Service calls for
the expenditure by private owners
for the fiscal year beginning July 1,
lof $89,000 on 1,383,000 acres of
j land in the 32 timber protective or-
I ganizations in the state. This ex
■ penditure will be made under the
I direction of the Georgia Forest
j Service. Seven new units of timber
I protective organizations were added
\ for the next fiscal year, bringing the
I total up to 32.
The protective measures call for
lookout towers, of which there are
now 20, most of which are steel
and are 80 to 110 feet high. Fire
breaks and fire fighting equipment
are also included as protective
equipment and lookout men and pa
trolmen are employed.
Acording to the Georgia Forest
Service, the annual cost for protec
tion varies according to the size of
unit and equipment, averaging about
4 cents per acre. Under the Georgia
Timber Protective Organization sys
tem, the fire loss has been less than
1 per cent annually of the protected
area, resulting, it is claimed, in
saving about $2,500 fire loss for
every one dollar spent, this estimate
being made by comparing loss from
unprotected areas with protected
areas.
Timber owners who organize pro
tective units and use recommended
methods of fire prevention are re
imbursed, largely through federal
allotments, to the extent of 30 cents
on each dollar spent under the budget
by the timber owner.
The movement to organize timber
protective organizations is provingj
popular and, according to the office j
of the state forester in Atlanta,
several other units in various parts
of the state are about ready to be
formed.
FOOD AND DRUGS MUST
BE LABELED CORRECTLY
Strict Enforcement of Law Will Be
Required by Commissioner.
An Atlanta dispatch says food
and drug manufacturers failing to
label or guilty of improperly labeling
their goods may expect prosecutions
to follow discoveries of such prac
tices and the order of the date is
more rigid inspections, according to
instructions given state inspectors
who engaged in an all-day round ta
ble discussion of their problems at
the state department of agriculture
last week. The meeting was the
first of regular quarterly gatherings
ordered by Eugene Talmadge, com
missioner of agriculture.
“Not only will purchasers be pro
tected in buying feeds, foods and
drugs, but it is only fair to manufac
turers who properly label their mer
chandise, to see that those failing to
obey the laws are punished,” Com
missioner Talmadge says.

Short Legged Dags Are
Revived by Long Skirts
Longer skirts have brought short >
legged dogs back in favor with the I
ultra-fashionable woman, says one
of the chic dog dealers of this center
of frivolity, says' a Paris dispatih.
When skirts were short big dogs
could jostle their feminine owners
without damage to dresses. But now
that skirts are going" down dogs are;
going with them and. the vogue for
Pekingeses and. low built Scuttiesis
picking up.
Wire haired terriers; Parisians’ pet
dog for several years, are going
back to the country and the farm.
Other, more l cuddly canines now
travel in the 1 limousines.
Such fickleness gave birth' to the
phrase about every dog having his
day, perhaps.
