STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
The people of Georgia are beginning to awaken
to the importance of the value of the state col ege of
agriculture to the farmers and all agricultural niter-
estsTlti this state. The visit of nearly three hundred
representative farmers from Elbert county here
this week is an indication of the popularity this insti
tution is gaining throughout the state- It is one of
the state’s greatest assets and during the past few
years more has been accomplished in increased corn,
grain, cotton and alfalfa production than in a half
''"corn andMnni'ng dubs have been inaugurated in
Georgia tmi "he boys and girls taught th S importance
of the industry and instructed how to make stlf-sup-
porting citzens. Many of these boys and girls earn
more from then- production in corn and canning clubs
than their fathers earned from their farms hr years
gone by. Besides cattle and hog raising has grown
fo be another chief industry in GeorKia. traceable tJ
the “efforts of the representatives of the btate col
lege of Agriculture. A few years ago it was an un
known thing for th» boys of this state to laise hogs.
Now some of the finest hogs to be found many
section of the country can ho found on Georgia
farms, raised by the lioys of the family. Many of them
are-prize winners and a credit to the state. Then
comes the canning clubs organized and operated by
the girls on the farms. Besides the production for
home consumption, large amounts of canned vege-
tables and fruits are sold in the market at profitable
P These and many mi re developments of farm pro
ducts could bo recited and the resources of the
state shown to be wonderfully increased rince the
organization of the State College of Agriculture,

i THE power of advertising
At ai recent mteting of the Financial Advertisers
Association, in Atlantic City, Francis H. Sisson, vice
president of the Guaranty Trust Co., New York told
meihbers present of ihe value of advertising and its
power to sell goods. Not only merchandise, but that
advertising was a good investment for sale of service
and “that there is no code of ethics that prevents pro-
fesiional people from advertising their services ns
merchants advertise their merchandise ” Mr. Sisson
i* 1 The force of organized publicity during the
trying days of the war brought about a mental
and spiritual transformation among our people,
and a devotion to principle and ideals which it
would have been impossible to create without its
use. It served the purpose of welding a some
what heterogenous and loosely organized people
Into a thunderbolt of power which turned the
stales of civilization. From that experience we
hnve emerged with a new realization of the pow
er of the printed word in the sale of ideas, and
with the increasing belief thnt the issue of peace
ilay be brought home to our people as convinc-
; ifigly as the issue- of war through the intelligent
uie of this great force.
Even the churches throughout the country hnve
recognized the power of advertising and in many
cities- pages of advertising are used in announcing
religious services both during week days and on
Sundays.
Advertising has ceased to be an- expenditure on
thetiooks of national advertisers, and it is considered
as an Investment. It has proved tp be an earning
poWer for the most successful.businesses in the coun
try-and for ever dollar invested in newspaper ad
vertising several dollars is returned in dividends to
the stockholders. In this day and time the most
prosperous business is the one which advertises lib
erally and consistently. The spasmodic advertisers
do not realize the real worth of advertising, but a
Judiciously planned advertising campaign brings re-
iltk for the article advertised.
To succeed in business it requires a reasonable
mqunt of advertising, and the firm, corporation or
manufacturer who undertakes to force his products
on the market without advertising might as well close
up shop and turn over his stock to his creditors.
legislature will adjourn on August 15; at least
the fifty days will expire at midnight that date.
It appears thnt Oscar Underwood, of Alabama, is
the coming candidate for the democratic nomination
for the presidency next year.' Well, he made a good
, showing in 1912 and we believe ho will do better in
- 1924. Just twelve years more of age has improved
him and better fitted him to lead the party, and with
that he is not an old man.
