Georgia cannot do with out them and If the county treas uries cannot pay their salaries, the law should be changed. The state college of agriculture di rects the work of these agents and demonstrators and those who are not overly friendly to tbe institution have taken occasion to criticise and attack the system now employed. The pur pose of such criticism Is to drag down the Institution rather than to build up. but It will be found by those who are engaged In this occupation that the people of thin state are not fr.'endly to any such tactics and the sooner a different policy Is adopted the better off will be those so In terested. The work of the county agents anil demonstrators has proven of great value to the farmers of Georgia and to the schools nnd the community generally and those who are disposed to meddle and Interrupt will fiud the proposition dangerous and It may re act. A timely warning, If heeded, will be beneficial to those who have been active In working up sentiment against the college and against county ngent and demonstrator. | atfeyc fyrjm flia P. n J n j tents per gallon; and questionable Letters irom me reOple|mllklHdearasagtft. It every mother Georgia Sweet Potato. Now that the Georgia sweet potato has become the most talked of food product In the south, the fanners should devote more acreage than ever before to It. Syrup can now be made from tbe sweet potato, besides the mony de- ll.ious dishes which can he served from It. It will he introduced shortly to tbe people of tbe west and then when that Is done the value of the sweet potato crop will be something enormous. In npeaklng of the amount of sweet potatoes grown in this state, statis tics show that It Is one of the most prolific crops grown and the least ex pensive. That being true, the farmer should devote much of his acreage to the sweet potato crop. The Birmingham Age-Herald has the following to say. of the cotidl tlons: It la of little service to Alabama to raise more sweet potatoes than any other state and ship the smallest quantity to market. Sweet potato bouses have been built and more will be ready for .the next crop. Where they are built the grower will reap the re ward of his toll; where they are not he will continue to throw away a large amount of labor. Tbe aweet potato production of Alabama for tbe season of 1919 and 1920, according to Market Clerk Hooten, waa arotind 13,000,- 000 bushels, but only 400 cars of potatoes were shipped from tbe state. Tennessee's record for the name season was 4.000,000, of whlclt aha shipped 1409 cats to other atates. Georgia, which also raised fewer potatoes than .Ala bama, shipped more to the mat- beta. t It all comes bark to the basts of successful farming. Growing the crop Is but one-halt the'Job. It does not begin to bring Its reward unless marketing la at tended to fa a bualnes»llke man ner. Alabama farmers, year In and year out, have «sen enough staff rot to make the,state rich. It la strange that we have been alow In avoiding that waste. The man who builds a sweet po tato house In his neighborhood la a public benefactor. Building a sweet potato curing house !a| every neighborhood, drying and curing potatoes will make the atato rich and take the place of the cotton crop. If the farmers do not reduce their cotton acretge this year by not planting, tbe only hope for them to make a sufficiency tor a liv ing for another year will be tbe com ing of tbe boll weevil, wblcb may re duce the crop, not In acreage, but In yield. - County Agents and Demonstrator*. The movamont In this state to dis turb and disrupt tbe operation of ths county agent and demonstrator ays- tarn la attracting serious attention of the people In this state. The move ment la founded on Jealousy, vicious- ness and treed for office-holding and tearing down that which baa been built. In Floyd county an attack has been made on the county officials for their action In appropriating SO per cent of the aalarlea of the county agents; -the government, through tbe Smith- |Lever bill, paying 60 per cent The outcome of the test In that county will be watched with much interest, but It Is not believed tnat the decision of the court will affect the present arrangement. Under the present system tbe state, tbrongb the agricultural college, pays one-half of tbe expenses, while the government pays the other half of tbe sinenses. The Savannau Morning News has the following to say on tbe subject; It would ba a thing to be re gretted If tbe law should stand in the way of providing tor the sal aries of county sgents out of coun ty funds. If this la the law, then there should be a change eo that the aD-Important work of these good servants of tbe people - should be continued. In some counties private subscriptions" would no doubt make up tbe - - amount tba counties themselves have bean paying, but it Is bet- tar that the county treasury should boar.the burden, because ths whole county enjoys tbe benefits of county agent work. There Is not n donbt that millions of dollars* worth of crops hare peon added -to- the total In Georgia in recent years by county agents; and tha state la batter off today than It would hays been because of their painstaking efforts In be half of better end more varied * A Good Morning to You A VER8E AND A VIGNETTE By O. O. BICKERS Cathedral Plnea, Feb. 11, 1921. Editor Banner: I do not like to figure In controver sies of any kind, but believing that conditions at this time warrant nn llghtenment. I am replying to Con- sinner's card of recent date. Milk la very nr'icll like any other article of food. We all know that prices for food depend upon the qual ity nnd service rendered. If quality nnd service Justify the price it will me maintained; if not, it will he low ered. The average person does not un derstand the value of milk; of what It consists, and of Its beneficial and detrimental results. Tbe buying pub lic, ns a rule, do not hesitate to pay upshot prices for luxuries und tem porary pleasures, but will groan In spirit over the necessities, of which milk In foremost, containing, n-s It does, nil the necessary elements of human food for sustaining life. | It Is almost Inconceivable to me . that the average housewlre is so hit- , terly opposed to paying n fair prlee for milk, the llff-glvlng food of her child, blit will unheoltntlngly expend j the difference many times over on 1 some other article of little or no , health giving properties. could realize what pure, nourishing cow's milk means to her child, she would not economize a few rents per quart by using a poor article, and pay the difference a thousand fold In loss of time, cost of drugs, nurse’s, doc tor's and undertaker's bills. The old saying, "A penny wise and a pound foolish" Is Just as tru- today as ever waa. Contrary to statements of "Con Burner," good milk Is today retailing In New York City and vicinity at 26 cents per quart. On Pullman cars the 3. A.

MRS. CHART.ES NEAR HODGSON. MEAT AND MILK PRICES. Drar Editor: I have read with a greui deal of Irlorest the two articles appearing In the recent issues of The Banner, rela- live to tho high prices we are paying for milk in this city. I heartily agree nth everything those people hare Raid, nnd they are not alone, for there are hundreds of "suffering consum ers" that are forced lo buy milk at the exorbitant prices. Coming in contact with people that have moved here lately, from otlier cities, I find that they complain, not only of the price of milk, but they ay that wo are charged more for meats In the markets here than any ity they know of. The prices of a tile, hogs and sheep have fallen off 0 per cent In price, and some of them more. Butchers here have reduced their meats only five cents on the pound. The finest markets In Atlanta are selling beef, veal, mutton uud pork for 2ft to 40 per cent cheaper than they do In Athens. Miry cannot the Bnfferlni; and Im posed on people get some redress? Is there not some club, association or organization that can come to the re lief of the “suffering consumers?'' One or two, or only a lew people can make no Impression on this kind of people, but with the influence of Numerous inquiries have been re ceived by the Bureau of Internal Rev enue relating to returns of fiduciaries. The word "fiduciary'' Is one that ap plies to all persons or corporations that occupy positions of peculiar con fidence toward others, such as trus tees, executors, or administrators. A fiduciary for Income-tax purposes Is any person or corporation that holds in legal trust an estate of another In legal trust nn estate of another person or persons, or receives and oontrolB the Income of another. A fiduciary relationship for the pur pose of the income tax can not he cre ated by power of attorney, in all cases where no legal trust has been created In tho estate controlled by an agent or attorney liability under the Income-tax law rests with the prln clpat. Every fiduciary, or at least one of Joint fiduciaries, must make a return If the person whose Income Is In bis charge Is married and living with hus band or wife, and If such person's net Income for 1920 was |2.ft00 or more: If the beneficiary Is single, or married nnd not living with husband or wife, and the net Income was $1,000 or more; for the estate or trust for which he acts, If Ihe net Income of such estate or trust was $1,000 or more, or If any beneficiary of such estate or trust Is a nonresident alien. Where the tax is payable by the fiduciary the return must be made on Form 1040 If the net Income was over $6,000, and on Form 1040A if the net Income was 15,000 or less. If the tax Is payable liy Ihe beneficiaries, the return must be made on Form 1041. If tho net Income of a person who died daring the year 1920 remains In process of administration nnd tho net Income from the date of the decedent’s death to December 31. 1920. not prop erly paid or credited to any benefi ciary, equalled or exceeded $1,000. * return must be made on Form 1040 The administrator Is required lo pay add Is held liable for any amount of lax which may be assessed on the basis of any such return rendered by hint. Fiduciaries are required lo render to tho Commissioner of Internal Reve nue a return of Information showing the distributive share of each bene ficiary, Irrespective of amount. Information rotnrns are required elso If during the year 1920 income In an amount of $1,000 or more was paid by the fiduciary to any person, paruersblp, personal-service corpora tion, or Joint stock company, etc. Beneficiaries are not entitled to In spect return* rendered by fiduciary covering the Income of the estate or trust In which they are interested.
