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, but'it is a satisfaction to know that this inst ‘ tutl ° n J‘ notionly reaching out in every County.in tho state ■ and' improving conditions, but that the people in tHcse counties arc realizing the value of their coll g an#that they are coming to tho fountain head of ag ricultural pursuits and getting the information de sired for further improvement in agricultural lines. 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.
