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.

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

I do not like to figure In controver

conditions at this time warrant nn

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

saying, "A penny wise and a pound
foolish" Is Just as tru- today as
ever waa.
Contrary to statements of "Con

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

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

The administrator Is required lo pay

lax which may be assessed on the
basis of any such return rendered by
