Atlanta, Ga.—If the farmers of
Georgia experience a shortage of
band* to hoe cotton, pick peaches
and'perform other labor on the farm
this season, it will not bq the fault of
the police department of Atlanta,
which is doing its dead level best to
put the vagrants on the run.
Since the new prohibition laws
went into effect on May 1 the loaf
ing negroes have been forced into
the pool rooms and to the streets,
and are therefore easier for the po
lice to find. As a means of further
presenting the anti-vagrancy war, it
has been urged that pool rooms, both
for white and colored, be abolished
entirely as the police say" most of
them arer esorts for idling and loiter
ing.
Recently a “curfew” rule
promulgated by Police Chief Mayo
which requires all persons on the
streets after 2 o’clock in the morn
ing to give an account of themselves
and this rule is being rigidly enforc
ed as still another means of keeping
the vagrants on the run.
When arraigned in recorder’s
court the “sons of rest” are given
the option of a term in the stockade
or leaving the city, which is intend
ed to operate for the benefit of the
farmers by driving thel oafers to the
rural districts.

GEORGIA INSANE ASYLUM
IS BADLY OVERCROWDED
Atlanta.—The National Commit-
tee for Mental Hygene will make a
survey of Georgia’s State Sanitar
ium for the insane at Milledgeville.
The survey will be similar In char
acter to surveys of insane asylums
made by committees in other states.
The committee’s investigation is
to be made at the request of the
trustees of the Georgia asylum,
will .aply to every department
the institution. Thel egislaturd now
has the sanitarium subject under
consideration. It is perhaps unfor
tunate that this survey has pot al
ready ben made by this entirely im
partial and trustworthy organisa
tion.
The asylum is overcrowded, needs
more buildings, and most of all,
needs a change in its rules, says the
trustees that will stop making it
"dumping ground” for criminals, ep
ileptics, feeble-minded minors a
others who are not insane. It is gi
erally believed that the legislature
will straighten out conditions and
make the necessary appropriations.

GEORGIA WOMEN WILL
NOT WEAR SOCKS
Atlanta, Ga.—However short the
skirts of Georgia Women may be,
or get or shrink, or however prehis
toric the word peticoat may be or be
come, thes tockings now worn, filled
or shown will nver dwindle, shorten
or bel ess. ,No nice woman will wear
socks, honest.
Recently there was a flurry in
some newspapers to the effect that
beginning almost at once, the elite
of everywhere would draw on locks
and never again turn to long hose,
the article in its length said that
long stockings had little to recom
mend them any way for any one,
and that women all over the country
would welcome a vogue which would
be so well based In commonsense.
For the benefit of retailers who
might be mislead by such reports,
Atlanta buyers for wholesale hous
es who have returned from New
York go on record with the assu
rance that there is no truth in them
and no basil for them to rest on.

Some Interpretations Of The
Smith-Lever Extension Act
(ANDREW M. SOltLE, President Ga. State College Ot Agriculture.) *
SUNLIGHT AS A GERMICIDE
Should Bo Used as Part of Gsnsral
Procsssea of House Cleaning—
Air Bedding Weekly.
Sunlight Is a great germicide. Our
pioneer grandmothers did not know
much about germs, but they acted on
modem principles when they bung
their milk palls and strainers in the
Sun “to sweeten," as they said.
Sunlight, aa well a* troth air, should
be used ss a part ot the general pro
cesses of house cleaning. The thrifty
habit ot ehuttlng out the sun In or
der to keep carpets and draperies from
fading Indicates a large degree of ig
norance of modem methods ot sanita
tion.
The airing and sunning ot bedding
every week, all the year round, is a
most Important part ot good house
keeping, but one which Is much neg
lected, especially by women who llv*
In fiats, where science Is very often
sacrificed to esthetics.
Therefore It become! imperative
that at housecleaning time the under
side ot ruga, carpet*, mattresses and
cushions should bo exposed to the eun
and air for aa long a period as pout-
Cordele, Ga., July.—-The fourth
annual meeting of the South Georgia
Log-Rolling association of the Wood
men of the World will be held this
year at Cordele, Thursday, July 20
nnd 21.
This association is composed of
over three hundred camps in south
Georgia, comprising a membership
of over 20,000. The objects of this
meeting is of a purely social get- to
gether nature.
Colonel J. Gordon Jones, mayor
o* Cordele, and chairman of their
executive committee says the city
of Cordele is preparing to entertain
15,000 visitors at a great barbecue
dinner July 20, preceded by a street
parade of thousands ot Woodmen,
th uniform rank companies of the
state and all the school children of
Crisp county and a farmers’ prod
ucts division of unusual interest.
Two games of baseball each day
and all kinds of athletic sports,
street dancing under electric lights
on the paved streets fronting ths
Suwanee hotel, good music by two
Woodmen bands will be among the
features.
The only business transacted at
tills annual meeting is the election
of officers and the selection of the
meeting place for 1917, and the first
night closes with a large class of In
itiate* who will bo conducted through
th fore*t of Woodcraft by one of
the crack teams of the State, from
Valdosta camp, No. 162.
Governor Harris and other prom
inent members of the order will be
present Rev. W. M. Crawford, of
Birmingham,. Ala., on of the sover
eign officers, will be the principal
speaker of the day.
One of the prominent film com
panies of New York has contracted
to film the whole affair.
The sovereign camp or interna
tional convention of the Woodmen
of tho World will meot in Atlanta
in July, 1917, which will bring many
thousands to that city from all over
the United States and Canad.

. Extension teaching is defined In
Section 1 ot tho Smith-Lever Act as
an effort ‘‘to aid in the diffusing among
the people of the United States useful
and practical Informatics on subjects
relating to agriculture and home eco
nomics, and to encourage the applica
tion ot the same.’’ It is provided that,
pending the inauguration and develop
ment ot the co-operative extension
wdfk, nothing in the Smlth-Lsver Ex
tension Act shall be construed as dis
continuing the farmers' co-operative
demonstration work which has already
been in progress in Georgia se
years. Fifty thousand dollars a
have been available from this source
for some time past and this appropri
ation baa been wleely continued up to
tho preeent time. It Is well to bear
In mind that th* state Is expected to
offset the above fund through local
subscriptions just as dsdnltely as tbs
funds are available under ths Bmitb-
Lovor act. This statement will, no
doubt, clarify the situation for many
and will explain why the counties are
called on to appropriate fund* to aid
in defraying the salaries and expenses
ot both men and women county agents,
Moreover, since the passage ot tbe
Smith-Lever Act, the State* Relation
Service has been established by Act
ot Congress. This office Is Intended
to act as a clearing bouse between
th* United State* Department of Ag
riculture and ths agricultural oollsgss
In the several states. Since many bu
reaus ot the United States Department
ot Agriculture have funds at their
disposal for expenditure oa various
projects to bo conducted in associa
tion -with tbe etata colleges of agri
culture, the usual hall and half baste
adopted as a policy by Congress and
the United States Department of Ag
riculture, Georgia, tor instance, te ex
pected to offset at tba present time
over (85,000 of what may bo termed
Indirect congressional appropriations,
or see the funds withheld and used
elsewhere. Since the above appropri
ations are being increased from time
to time, it te reasonable to snppoaa
that tbe state will always be called
upon to finance extension project* out
ot the money provided by local sub
scriptions aside from those set aside
by the General Assembly of tho stele
to offset the Smith-Lever set.
The work which may bo properly
conducted under the terms ot
Smith-Lever act to definitely stated In
Section 2, which reads as follows -
"That cooperative agricultural exten
sion work shall consist ot the giving
of Instruction and practical demonstra-
tion In agriculture and home econom
ics to persons not attending or resi-
dent In said college! In the Beveral
communities, and Imparting to such
persons information on said subjects
through field demonstrations, publica
tions and otherwise; and this work
shall be carried on in such manner as
may bo mutually agreed'upon by the
Secretary of Agriculture and the atate
agricultural colleges receiving the
benefits ot tbla act.”
From the context of tbe preceding
paragraph, it appears that cooperative
agricultural extension work shall con
sist primarily In giving Instruction,
and, second, practical demonstrations
in, agricultural and home economics
to persons non-resident at tbe agricul
tural college. The teaching work pro- -
vtded for ahall be made clear through .
field and home demonstrations, publi
cations and otherwise. Correspond-
cnee, ot course, may often be con
ducted to advantage, and personal con
ferences be held with an Individual
or a group ot persons. It Is expected
that the county agent shall be a prop
erly educated and qualified expert In
agriculture or home economics, and so
capable of diffusing essential Informa
tion ot benefit to *11 tbe activities re-
toting to tho school, the farm and the '
home- The agent should be essential
ly’ a teacher and mutt work with and
through tbe schools, thus aiding mate
rially In laying the proper foundation
on whleh to build up sdentlflo elemen
tary Instruction in agriculture and
home economics, aid so successfully
correlate the activities ot tho school
room to those ot tho homo—a funda
mental undertaking, th* Importance ol
which every thoughtful person la el-
reedy fully convinced.
The county agenta should be prima
rily regarded as a teacher and'adviser
to all of the people ot tho county,
whether they are attending school or
at work In the field or tho home. He
should bo capable of rendering most
valuable service and aid to tbe school
teachers through the county school
commissioner and tho county board
of education, and through the adult
population through personal contact
with them aa they f4|ow' their yoca-.
lions In the field and in the home.
Fonda appropriated to aid In the main
tenance of the county agents from
whatever source derived would seem
to constitute a Just and legitimate ex
penditure of public money available
for education or for tba promotion of
any pnbllo service week performed
in tbe interest ot all ot tho peoile
ot the county. -
