THE VALUE OF THE COUNTY AGENT
‘ .How any community can fail to sec, understand
' and appreciate the great value ot the county agent is
' beyond our comprehension. Such cases, however,
/ arc isolated, but in some counties in the state there
; is‘found opposition to the county agent and the work
*1 which is being done in the interest of the farmer and
f‘ the whole community. Some time ago the members
•, of the grand jury in Toombs county recommended
. that the county agent in that county be dispensed
I- with, regarding the cost as unnecessary expense.
Sach action on the part of representative citizens,
composing the grand jury, brought forth the fol-
■ ftjg defense of the agent from the Vidalia Advance:
- “Time and time again we have commented on
fthe work of our home demonstrator; her work is
,Z ’’mainly with the women and girls of the rural dis-
n Stricts, and before any grand jury undertakes to
jeondemn her work and to recommend that her
• --services be dispensed with, they ought ta call in
‘ isome of the women of the county, and henr what
, " fthey have to say.
. ' ; “Looking at it from the financial side alone,
"the tax levy made by fie commissioners this
>" ? year shows a half mill assessment to pay the sal-
* aries of our farm demonstrators. This is 60
5 scents on the thousand dollars and there is not
?o farmer on the grand jury that could not get
-the small sum he pays in salaries for our demon-
t strators back over and over again if he would
?take advantage of the services which are at his
■ «command. The business men in the towns of
jjT ’Lyons and Vidalia are glad to pay their part of
•’~~~-Ithis tax, because they realize that their pros-
x £ perity is bound up with the prosperity of the
•/ j farmers, and they are willing to be taxed to
* give the farmers of the county , every possible ,
STui service which will be of help in putting our agri
cultural interests on a prosperous basis:
i to see the farming interests of the county happy
“ '“i aiiu prosperous. But in the iignt of our own ob-
f ' 5 servation, guided by ,wbat progressive farmers
ffl the county agent and'ms or her work that Toombs
% ence of other counties,':if the recommendation
* f of the grand jury is followed in this instance,
... wo know.it jj a step backward. It is just., as
£ much a blow to progress as plowing up our im-
r ’ * proved roads and going back to the stretches
T of impassable sand; as burning our consolidated
, - school buildings and using again the dilapidated,
unpainted buildings with one teacher for all the
* grades.”
i - This county however, is an exception, wo aro
glad to know, and we bejievo that so soon as the
- attention of these gentlemen is called to the value
of tho county agent and hi s or her work that Tooipbs
County will fall in line in the support of the work and
me good which is being accomplished in all commu
nities where agents aro located.
Farmers Holding
Cotton For Raise
T A COTTONLESS FARM IN GEORGIA
* The Savannah Press carried a very interesting ar
ticle on a cottonlcss farm owned mid operated by J.
R. Cook, of Twiggs covmty. It says:
§ Mr. Cook has diversified his crop through a
wide range orjiodueLs, and consequently is in
better shape ttifb fall than the cotton farmers of
v his section. ‘ Ins products have boon conserva
tively estimated as worth more than S6.000.
S Sixty acres of peanuts that will produce more
8 than twenty-five bushels to the Here, 100 acres
- of peavinc hay already saved, 160 acres of corn
.« with velvet beans und peas, two acres of sugar
-“•cane, which will make seventy-five gallons of
7 syrup to the acre, four acres of sweet potatoes,
J thirty acres of oats with a bumper crop, are all
* among the products of Mr. Cook’s farm this
£ year.
$ Besides the foregoing, Mr. Cook has 9,000
» hearing peach trees on his place. He carries a
j, yard of 300 Rhode Island'Red hens, for which he
» haB a modern poultry yard, with incubators and
i brooders. About fifty hogs and forty head of
J cattle also added to Mr. Cook’s income.
This is a splendid showing and a most substantial
indition, hut we do not believe that cotton should
eliminated entirely from the products of Georgia
irms. It has been proved that cotton can be raised
irofitably under boll weevil conditions and a rea-
pnabie number of acres pn each farm should be
levoted to cotton growing in this-state. It is a ready
Toney crop and the demand for a certain amount
this product will always be strong. We believe
crop diversification as a means of saving the ag-
gcultura! industry in this state. Foodstuff should
bn raised in abundance and more attention should
bn given to poultry, hogs and cattle. Our state
dliould produce a sufficenc.v of foodstuff to sup
ply the demand "’hicli Would keep at home every
I Hollar now being sent to the west for meat, corn
[.. land wheat and in a great many instances oats and
- Other feedstuff for stock.
' 2 If ail the farmers in Georgia will follow the lead
l net by Mr. Cook and in addition grow a reasonable
•mount of cotton, Georgia will soon become one of
1 tbe wealthiest and most independent states in. tho
l union. • . .

Judce Thomas F. Green de-
• livered an able and concise ad-
daceis on l^h# Constitution of
ths United States Thursday
• f ho meeting of Ihe Klwnnls club
Mr. Obc Smith, of Madison
county, one of our most level
headed and successful farmers,
says he has for years closely
watched the cotton market nnd
the host time for n farmer to sell
at the first advance in price
after crops come in. Manufac
tures are hungry, as it were, for
cotton, and generally fix the price
at about market value for the
staple, based on the laws of sup
ply and demand. -Mr. Smith says
the part of his crop he does not
sell at this time he holds until
the next fall.
Our southern farmers have lost
untold millions of dollars by hold
ing cotton in expectation of an
advance later in the v season.
There arc individual farmers in
our own section who have lost
around $50,000 by not selling
when they were offered forty
cents or more for their crop. I
is a risky business advising farm
ers to hold their cotton, for no
one can foretell the future mar
ket.
If a farmer wants to hold his
cotton our advise Is that ho be
come a member of the f Southern
Cotton Marketing Association and
turn his crop over to that body.
Us officers make a dose and in
telligent study of conditions and
best know when to sell and how
to niqrkct cotton to the best ad
vantage. But acting on his own
judgment, wo would not advise
any farmer to hold his cotton and
take chances. It is merely guess |
work with him, and he has missed
the market far oftener than he
won.
