YOJ DON’T HAVE TO MOVE TO
TOWN TO GET CONVENIENCES.
.Moving to to win to get the benefit
of modern home conveniences is no
1 mger necessary. We have our daily
J -livi ry moils, and if we do not have
rural telephone service it is our own
fault, for as long as the price of a
e!'vh<!ie is only s.'* and telephone
wire can be Imu -nt for three civ's
a pound, or less, the cost of install-
i,i g the tol 'ph ii" is not prohibitive.
“I'd like to have water and lights
in my home if I were aIV to in all
th'm,” said a well-to-do farmer the
other day. If every farmer had these
conveniences Who i.s really able to
afford th m there wouldn't be much
to complaint about. A carbide (aect
yl me) light p’ant can he installed at
loss than $l5O, with friction lighting
arratigenw nt. The carbide light is
a sifter light than the electric., and
is in every wiay a practical light for
the country home. An air-tight water
tank with conn* tions and a small
pumping engine cun be provided at
a cost of f|loO and up, a wording to
capacity of the tank. It, is said that
an emerge io ami progressive farmer
can get anything li • wants, tut he
must f ; rst want it enough to make
some effort to get it. With thou
sands of farmers it isnt’ a question as
to being able to own these modern
*
home conveniences, but it is a ques
tiuon as to whether they will do with
out something else of let® service
and It as value, and the only reason
they do not, own them is because
they have not, yet realized their val

COUNTY FAIRS.
County Fairs in Georgia hereafter
should eliminate the midway as a
feature. It may he that it docs
help the attendance, hut it is not) a
high •order of entertainum lit, is of
no educational value, lessens the at
tention paid to things worth w'hile,
an 1 taken money out of the state tha
should be kept in. it. This refers to
the sort of midway that too frequent
ly is s eu at county 'airs, and that
makes an appeal not to ihe fir. r
q ia’ities of men and women, but to
the laser on- s. The fair ought to
he so oletn and so gc and that every
thing in it might be viewed with per
fect propriety by men, .women and
childr n.
Kspe -hilly should it be made inter
est infg for children, for every effort
made to improve farming methods
to make farm fife more attract
ive. should take them into ao omit,
because in a few* years they will be
the farm tm n and women of (Georgia.
If there were nothing that could take
the place of the more objectionable
mldwtay shows there might be lest*
objection to them, but wihen moving
pictures can be used to combine en
tertainment and instruction shy not
substitute them for the money-taking,
objectionable, unpleasant tent shows.
If county fairs in Georgia have to
depend on midwtavs, they do not mak
a success—it is only the midways
that are successful. Any county, if
it tries, can have a successful fair, in
r ispect to attendance, exhibits, draw -
ing power and good results, w'hile
limiting its attractions to those that
are wholesome. —(Savannah News.

MAKING READY FOR
THE BOLL WEEVIL
Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia
State College Of Agriculture
___ •
The fight against the b<4l weevil
itself, of course, belongs essentially to
the State Hoard of Entomology and
the State Department of Agriculture,
where the quarantine and general reg
ulatory power resides for the control
of insect pests, but the SJate College
of Agriculture, through its extension
and demonstration agents, is ready to
do its part in meeting the problems
arising.
At a meeting held at Macon for the
purpose of organizing a campaign for
better farming, the College enlisted
its forces and is in accord with the
resolutions passed, which are as fol
lows:
“Resolved: That we approve the
campaign on boll weevil inaugurated
by tiie State Board of Entomology, and
urge the active co-operation of the
State Department of Agriculture, the
United States Department of Agri
culture, the State College of Agricul
ture, the Stpte Agricultural Society,
the Farmers’ Union and other farm
ers’ and business organizations with
in the state.
“Resolved: That this committee rec
ommend that the State Chamber of
Commerce furnish the expenses of a
business man from boll weevil territo
ry to organize and instruct the busi
ness men of their duties in lighting the
boll weevil. This man to be selected
by the directors of the campaign.
“Resolved: That under the leader
ship of the Extension Forces in co
operation with all other state agen
cies engaged in farm improvement
work, better farming campaign be in
augurated in the counties immediately
In advance of the boll weevil, gradual
ly extending this to all sections of the
State. This campaign to begin as soon
hh practicable, after the close of the
boll weevil campaign, in which better
farming, adequate markets and better
credit be urged.
“That the agricultural forces of the
state take charge of the better fann
ing campaign, and in connection there
with the Chamber of Commerce and
bankers and business men’s organiza
tions tifke hold of the campaign for
markets, credit and organizing the
business interests in this work.”
The effectiveness of the Smith-Lever
and demonstration funds become very
apparent in emergencies like this. The
demonstration agent who is on the
ground is prepared to put into effect
the best advice that the campaigns,
or expert scientists in general have
to offer, in fact they are a very pres
ent help in the time of trouble.
